The bite

Chapter 26

Alex's POV.

It was like my first shift... I had only drunk a little bit of the bitter liquid, which i now assumed was poison. My body stretched and snapped. Then it felt like i was being licked by the flames of hell. Am I dying? Yes, probbably. A sweet smell hits my nostrils, sending me back to reality. Nope not dead... yet. My eyes snapped open.Michelle..

'Shes hurt get your ass up!!!!' Kaleb howls in pain.

I slowly stand up and take slow,painfull,steps towards michelle. My father laughs a bitter, evil, laugh. I stare at him in horror... And then i lung at his throat. I shift right then and there and use my sharp teeth to try and rip his throat out. Kaleb had full control now.

"WHAT THE FUCK IS WRONG WITH YOU??!! WHY DID YOU HURT MY MATE!?" Kaleb spat out at Dad. I didnt try to fight kaleb off, I was just as pissed. Dad dodged Kalebs next attack. The supposed "Council members" leaped at me and held me down. I stared at Michelle. She was turning pale and i could heart her heart beat fading as she lost blood.I took control now.

"Please... Help her." I begged pitifully. My father laughed a cruel laugh.

"Oh dont worry... i'll help her... Im just gonna kill the thing in her though." I caught the wolfs holding me down off guard, I leaped on my father and pinned him to the ground.  

"Die mother fucker." My wolf growled.

Michelles POV.

Everything was happening in slow motion. I barely heard what Alex and John were saying. My vision was slowly fading to nothing. I felt two strong arms gently wrap around my body and lift me up. Dustin...

"Make sure the baby is safe... Promise me that?" I breathed.

"Michelle your going to live.... I promise." He said as he carried me away from Alex and Johns fight. Soft lips pressed against my forehead. I slowly let my eyes close. I stayed awake, afraid i would slip away if i fell asleep. Dustin tied something around my torso, where i had been cut. Soon whatever he had just put on me would be drenched in blood. A Painful (probably the worst ever) contraction hits, making me let out a blood curdling scream.

"Shit... how long have you been pregnant?"

"Im not sure... a little over two months or less." i croak out.

"Erm dont freak out but theres a slight possiblitiy the baby is coming."

"What?!" He flinched.

"I said dont freak out." A growl escapes my lips. Another contraction hits, causing me to black out this time.

Dustins POV.

I stare down at the girl I love in shock.  

"Michelle!! Wake up!"

'Dude, the babys coming....like now. I can smell its sent stronger than before.' My wolf worriedly tells me. 

One of the cloaked shifters has followed us. And is now coming towards us. 

Fuck.

The cloaked shifters silently removes their hood and stares up at me, red hair flopping in her face from the wind.

"Im Lily... a friend of Michelles I suppose you could say. I owe her a favor and im here to help carry that favor out."

"Do you know anything about prengancy or shifters labor?" She nods and slowly walks up to Michelle. Should i trust her? Is she just another rogue here to kill Michelle??

The questions lingure in my head for a little bit before i slowly come to ease.

Lily removes michelles clothes and replaces them with a different cloak, like a hospital gown kinda.   I catch a glimpse of michelles stomach. Purple and blue bruises are slowly startin to form... the baby is a super alpha... and it is indeed making its first shift. Michelles eyes fly open and she starts to scream her head off.

"Be ready to catch the baby." Lily murmers.

"Catch? It jumps out of her??"

"Sorta kinda... Its coming now! Be ready!" She turns her attention to Michelle."Sweetie, breathe in and   out... in and out, slowly."  Michelle does as she is told and then screams again.

*Rip*

*Crunch!*

Almost there.... I hold Michelles hand and gently kiss her knuckles.

"Almost done Michelle.... Just keep breathing, the baby will do the rest." My voice cracks at the end. Michelle isnt going to survive this... and i have to watch her die. I hear the rustling of leaves as Alex storms up to us. He growls at me and flings me away from Michelle.

Alex's POV.

 "Michelle baby... Im here sweetheart. Everythings going to be okay." Tears form at the corners of my eyes. She cant die... I wont let her. That bastard Dustin shouldnt be here. Shes MY mate... not his.

"I love you Alex." Michelle rasps.

"I love you more than anything in the world..." I sob. With a final crunch and rip, the baby is free from Michelles body...... It-He looks just like...... like Marcus?!!!!?!!

"Hes so beautiful. Take care of our baby boy." Michelle kisses the infants head and falls. Lily takes the baby away from me before I kill it.

"Michelle!!!!! Wake up!!!!" I howl/Scream. Her glassy, lifeless, eyes stare up at me.I hug her bleeding body as the warmth slowly disapears from it. I know shes gone....
