Diana's POV

– 25th Breeding Term–

Wolf-Rayet was held up, but I knew he wanted to see the kid we had.

But something very unexpected happened first.

Neptune had been holding my hand, feeding me the Enta Venom from a vial to help with all the pain and the process.

It made it so much easier.

The birth is painless, but apparently there's a secret guest here this whole time that neither of us notice until it's too late.

"Well done, mama. Oh, it's a little girl!"

Neptune and I both get a fright when we hear someone else excitedly speaking.

"Lyra?" Neptune asks, shocked to see Lyra dropping her Stealth, dressed in a pretty white dress, holding the newborn baby in her arms. Lyra was sneaky, she straight up just stole the baby from me with lithe hands, grinning and cooing at the baby in her arms.

"Lyra!" my eyes tear up with her appearance, "Why are – how are – you –?" I can't get my thoughts straight.

"Dad's orders, I have to move quickly now," Lyra whispers at me, winking, "I love you, sweet mother. See you in 72 days, we all can't wait to see you again!"

Lyra teleports with the tiny daughter, the newborn's eyes still shut, her little cries disappear with the abrupt 'kidnapping'.

Neptune turns to me, his lips still parted, he's as astonished as I am – but then he cocks a brow and quickly teleports too. I'm not sure why, until a few moments later, Wolf-Rayet is walking in, dressed up in a suit and everything.

We had spent a term basically making love non-stop, all over this place, including in my dreams. I gulp when I see the expected look in his eyes.

"The baby, sweetness?" Wolf-Rayet holds out his hands, looking over the room, searching.

It takes me a moment to realise what Lyra said.

Dad's orders.

Mars.

Lyra.

Oh – Mars is so getting revenge.

When Wolf-Rayet stole Lyra.

"Um, she's already safe," I explain.

"Princess," Wolf-Rayet grins and fixes his collar, "So it was a girl..." then he paces the room, pausing before he thinks to himself, glancing at me, "I wanted to see her... did you send her away early, Diana? Why?"

I shake my head, blushing red. I feel guilty.

"I'm sorry, Entary, I just... I wasn't thinking, and you did arrive a bit late, I thought maybe you couldn't make it," I think of a lie.

"Hm," Wolf-Rayet checks his watch, keeping in his obvious suspicion, he teleports without a goodbye – and I know he's going to thoroughly investigate. The Shadow Kor King loves me so much he doesn't blame or suspect me, but he does suspect foul play.

The powerful red flash in his eyes at the end was very telling.

I know it's serious too because Neptune doesn't reappear – or at all.

Then I wait for Alpha Centauri to show, as he was due to mate me next. But even when he doesn't show – I lay down for a nap, my arm slung over my eyes.

Mars you... you took Princess. As Wolf-Rayet took Lyra. I hope you know what you're doing.

But I also can't help but wonder if he saw me with Wolf-Rayet, fucking all over this place, with no hostility and no arguments.
