Just A Taste Of Heaven

Chapter 35 - E.T.

On the Deepwater Pack side, Mila had given birth a few days earlier to a baby boy. She had given birth two weeks prematurely, signed over her parental rights a few days before delivery and refused to see her son. In fact, the previous month, she had met her mate when a pack allied to Alpha Owen's was visiting. He was the youngest son of a Gamma, and 5 years earlier he had had a serious accident and his heart had stopped beating for 33 minutes. During this time, the bond between him and Mila had broken, as happens when two mates die before they've met, leaving the one who lived to wait for nothing and give him a second chance at love. James, her mate, didn't accept that she was having another man's baby. He'd been very aggressive, but Levi wouldn't let him near Mila. James had given Mila an ultimatum: him or her child. She hadn't hesitated long before choosing him. As soon as she could, she left the pack to join James'.

Levi had immediately fallen in love with his son, whom he had named Oliver. Now he had someone other than Nevaeh for whom he had to be the best version of himself. Alpha Owen and Luna Aurora were on hand to help raise his son as a single father. Oliver was a calm baby who charmed everyone who met him, including his two aunts: Nova and Avery. He overshadowed his two uncles Lucas and Landon for the attention of their mates. Which didn't really bother them, because they were both completely smitten with this little angel.

Landon and Avery shuttled back and forth between the mansion and Sekhmet's new territory, which Scarlett made possible with ease. While Caleb managed the manor and relations between the Sekhmet community and Hallhunt. Levi had a big part to play in making these relationships healthy and strong, for which Caleb was very grateful. He also had the support of his mother and brothers, as well as Nevaeh's aunt's witch convent. Hallhunt was becoming a place of refuge for all slaves who wanted to earn their freedom. Hallhunt had always been a place of peace between the species and whether it was Alpha Bénédicte, Levi and therefore his father, Danika or Lorena, they were all extremely attached to Nevaeh and her cause, so the appearance of the Sekhmet community had been seen as a blessing. Once again, they were ahead of their time and Levi had become their guarantor. When he wasn't busy with his son, he was trying to bind packs to Sekhmet's cause. To be honest, he was a great help to the cause and to Caleb.

Nevaeh, for her part, was having a rather easy and much less stressful pregnancy now that she was in Brody's pack. At every check-up, she saw Luna Zoe and Alpha Jude. They had been thrilled to feel their child move for the first time, and Nevaeh called them every day so the baby could hear their voices. Brody and Nevaeh spent all their free time together. They were simply inseparable. He had accompanied her to Hallhunt for her exams, under the pretext of his promise to Luna Zoe and Alpha Jude to protect her throughout the pregnancy. That's how Levi had discovered Nevaeh happy and pregnant with another man. He blamed himself because he knew it was his fault. He'd let her go, but that hadn't made it any easier. He realized even more now the pain he had inflicted on her over the last few years. He'd wanted to intervene and object, but after asking Caleb and Avery if she was happy, which they'd said she was, he'd changed his mind.

Nevaeh had given birth to a healthy baby boy at the end of the summer. Brody was present in the delivery room at her request. Luna Zoe was also present. Alpha June had been excluded, having no control over his wolf and threatening the medical team. They had called their son Justin and asked Nevaeh and Brody to be their godparents. Deeply moved, they both accepted without hesitation. More than a month after giving birth, Neveah spent most of her time with Brody on his land, still in their "no strings attached" relationship, where both were deeply involved. She met several times a week with Caleb, Avery, Landon, Aaron and Scarlett, and they spent at least one evening together, but it was in Brody's bed that she joined them every night.
