His Estranged Mate

Chapter 34: Tricked?!

CATRINA

"Come on, Cat. Name her," orders Alcina who's literally breathing down my neck to steal the kid out of my arms. I turn around playfully, not letting the baby have a look at Alcina.

"Have some patience, Al," I whisper which earns a huff from her. I came to learn about this fact that Alcina is very formal with Fenris and Sierra but with all others she's like the naughtiest kid of the house, always playing pranks. Her new preys are unfortunately, my brother and Dominic.

My brother gets ruffled easily by her but Dominic just gives her a look, scaring her which makes her move ahead and play the prank on Calum instead, who reads her mind and effectively dodges all her tricks.

That's the reason why the witch's games have descended on me and the baby in my hands.

"Okay, I think I have finally made up my mind about the name for my goddaughter," I whisper to the crowd who immediately calms down and turn to me, giving me their full attention.

Fenris and Sierra are standing on my left and my mom is standing to my right with Cayden. Dominic is on the far side of the living room with a tumbler of red wine/ blood, I don't know and prefer not to ask. The witches are all seated on the couch where now my mother joins them while Cayden stands back when Alcina waves a finger at him. I chuckle at them and shake my head when the baby pulls at my hair.

"You are going to get a name, kotyonok," I coo to her and as if she understands me, the baby chortles in glee.

"Don't make us wait. Come on," mutters Calum and I shake my head. I know what he's trying to do. I am confusing him with the 5 names in my mind, not giving him the chance of knowing the name before anyone else.

Sierra gave me three names yesterday but I wasn't sure about them. Those were wolf names and I suggested that since the baby is witch-wolf hybrid, why not name her in that way.

After lots of research, we came to 2 conclusions and Sierra told me to choose one of them so finally I have decided to name my goddaughter.

"So... My dear family, let's welcome my goddaughter Selene Vlček," I whisper, hoisting the baby girl up so that she's facing her family. She giggles so loudly that it makes all of us females to coo at her.

"Wow, that's absolutely beautiful. Selene is a witch name and it also means the Moon Goddess. Nice choice, Cat," gushes Alcina while coming forward and grabbing the said baby from my arms. I chuckle and hand over the baby to her and turn look at the proud parents. Sierra is crying as she comes to hug me, thanking me in my ears whereas Fenris smiles at me, his eyes holding the pride of a father and the love for his family.

"Thank you for naming our daughter with such a powerful name. It'll definitely help her in her life," he whispers.

"The pleasure is all mine. I hope the name gives her the strength to hold all her powers and use them positively," I whisper, knowing that he'll understand. I came to know yesterday that Selene can go invisible like her father because of which they have postponed the plan of their date.

I can't imagine the stress Sierra's going through now especially when she can't see Selene when she goes invisible. Only Fenris and all other witches can, probably but still it's going to be difficult.

"You chose a good name for her," whispers my mother, startling me out of my thoughts. I smile allowing her to pull me on the couch. Alcina and Cayden are now fighting to hold the baby but Nora moves in and swipes of the baby out of their hands, I laugh along with the baby who likes being transported from one pair of arms to the other.

"Are you okay?" my mother asks, once again capturing my attention.

"Yes, mom. I am fine. I can't forget my babies but I have accepted it," I whisper.
