Chapter 82: Ileus/Adrik

Mother Mary stood still for a moment and then slowly turned around to face Mirabel. "It's all up to you." She smiled at her and glanced at the twins. "Bless you, children." With that being said, she turned around and walked out of the room.

Mirabel took deep breaths and her hands balled into fists. 'I will not let anyone touch you, my babies.' She thought with narrowed eyes and turned her head to stare at her babies.

Seated on his high throne within a huge hall, Alpha Lekhma stared down at Rohan, who stood with his head lowered. "What do you mean that the people request to see the babies?"

"Supreme Alpha, they are yet to know it's a twin. Right now, they are at the gate requesting to have a glimpse of the princes, or for a ceremony in honor of the princes to be held." Rohan reported, with his head still lowered.

Alpha Lekhma slammed his balled fist on the chair armrest and abruptly stood up from his throne. "Has my wife woken up?"

"Yes, Supreme Alpha," Rohan answered, and Alpha Lekhman immediately walked down from the stairs that led up to his throne. He placed his hands behind his back and ordered Rohan to make sure that none of his escorts followed him, as he needed to speak to his wife alone.

He ambled out of the hall and made his way to his wife's room. "Supreme Alpha." The maids standing in front of the room where his wife was, took a long deep bow in respect and opened the door for him.

He walked in, and they shut the door. Alpha Lekhma's eyes fell on his wife, who sat on the bed with the two babies in hand, rocking them from side to side. 

A deep breath left his lips and he strolled to sit on the bed near his wife. "Mirabel." He called her name, and she raised her eyes to look at him. She quickly but gently laid the babies on the bed. 

"Supreme Alpha." She climbed down from the bed and proceeded to take a deep bow in respect, but Lekhma grabbed her by the shoulder and sat her down on the bed beside him.

"We need to talk." He gazed at her with reluctance in his eyes.

"Okay." Mirabel nodded at him, and he took deep breaths before turning to face her again. "It's about the babies."

"The babies?" Mirabel put a surprised look on her face as she asked.

"Yes, the babies." He nodded at her and glanced at the twins lying on the bed, with their little eyes darting around. "Our people request to see the baby."

"Baby?" Mirabel's eyes fluttered in disbelief, and she stared at him with a deep frown emerging on her face. "Our babies are two, not one."

"Mirabel, please don't make things hard for me. You know that only one of them can have the opportunity to live." Alpha Lekhman stared at her with pleading eyes and reached out his hand to touch her, but Mirabel slapped his hand away.

"I can't believe that you're the one saying this. They are our flesh and blood, and you want to kill one and keep one alive." Mirabel trembled uncontrollably in anger and shook her head in disbelief as she stood up from the bed. "Assuming that you later have one of them killed, what will the one that lives think of you when he grows up and finds out that you had his twin brother killed? What will he think of us, of the pack?!"

"Then do you prefer it if I have both of them killed?" Alpha Lekhma stood up from the bed and walked to stand in front of his wife. "Is that what you want?"

"I want none of it! I just want them to stay away from my poor babies." Mirabel gazed into his eyes as she said, and began to step back when he abruptly began to walk close to her with an expressionless face.

"Wh-what are you doing?" Mirabel asked as she continued to step back, but he didn't answer, and her back eventually touched the wall when she had no more space and raised her eyes to stare at him. "Wh-what-?"

He suddenly placed his hands on either side of her head before she could finish her sentence, and gazed intently at her. 

His right hand caressed her face and traveled down to her lips, then rested on her chin. He tilted her chin up and covered her lips with his, kissing her so passionately.

Mirabel, who was stunned by his sudden action, stood motionless and didn't kiss him back. His face puckered as he didn't get any reaction from her and he broke the kiss.

He gazed into her green eyes with an expressionless face, and abruptly stepped back, away from her. "You will have to agree to it no matter what. Do not disappoint or disgrace me." With that being said, he proceeded to walk out of the room, but Mirabel hurriedly ran up to him and hugged him from behind.

"Can we at least give them names? I believe they deserve that." She said behind tears, and Alpha Lekhma's heart ached within him to see her tearing up. He turned around and cupped her cheek. "Please, don't cry. I have told you many times that I don't want you to cry at all, nor cry in front of me." 

He wiped off the tears in her eyes and walked her to the bed. They gazed at the two babies, and Lekhma lifted the white-haired one into his arms. "I have named him Ileus." He raised his eyes and smiled at Mirabel.

Mirabel lifted the black-haired one from the bed and glanced at Lekhma. "And what about him?" She asked and smiled at him.

Alpha Lekhma's face puckered a bit, and he slightly shook his head. "Well, you can name him. I have named this one, so you can go on and name him. " He smiled at Mirabel, who nodded at him in understanding.

Mirabel stared at the baby's face for a while, and her lips unexpectedly curled into a smile. "I will name him Adrik." He caressed the baby's cheek and lifted her head to stare at Lekhma. "It's such a perfect name for him.." She chuckled softly, but Lekhma only half-smiled at her.
