The Silver Crescent Alpha Prince Chapter 353 – Baby Shower?

Dawn watched her leaving, her eyes wide with shock. How did she know about her situation? As far as she remembered, Bree was nowhere near the bathroom when she was bitten. Then what was she talking about? Died which day? Thousands of questions bounced around her head as she continued to stare at Bree. 

Daryn wrapped his arms across her shoulder and said, “It is not the time to think that Dawn.” 

Dawn looked up at him with bewilderment. Her skin tingled and a shiver skittered down her spine. “Did you hear what she said?” 

“I did,” he whispered. “Let us go.” He forced her to walk with him. On the inside he knew what to do next. 

Dawn walked with him, dazed. She didn’t know whether to think about the case or to think about Bree what just said. She pressed her hand to her mouth and somehow stifled a whimper. The scene in which she was bitten flashed across her mind and beads of sweat lined her eyebrows. She clung her arms to herself. This was so beyond twisted. Why was Bree saying that? What connection did she have? As far as Dawn knew, she didn’t even smell like a werewolf or a neotide, then why did she even mention it? How did she know? Or was it a mere consequence? It could be possible that her condition must have become viral amongst the staff in the course. But it was just a bite. Who dies of a bite? And why would Bree say that she wished she had died? Nothing made sense and the more she thought about it the more she got agitated and worried and nervous. 

When they sat in the car, she said, “I don’t want to go to the office today.” 

“Okay darling,” Daryn assured her. He stroked her back and made her lean her head on his shoulder. “Stop thinking about it baby.”

“I can’t Daryn. It brings up the memories of the day,” she whimpered. 

“Then think that you got a direction to find out about it,” he replied sternly. “I don’t want my Luna to break so easily.” 

She sagged against him and closed her eyes. 

In order to change the topic, he said, “By the way, since you have entered the seventh month, someone in the clan mentioned that we should have a baby shower.” 

Dawn got distracted immediately. “Baby shower?” 

He nodded with a smile. “Hmm…” He rubbed her arm excitedly. “Have you thought about it?” 

“I don’t even know when to do it Daryn. Is there anyone who can guide us? Or let’s just take help of event planners?” she asked. Her earlier tense state dissipated immediately. She stroked her stomach with pride. “I will be a mommy soon!” Suddenly she stilled. 

“What happened baby?” he asked. Daryn sympathized so much with her that he wanted to give the world to her. The girl was alone. There was not a single woman who helped her or advised her. Most of the women of the clan maintained distance from her because she was a neotide and because now she was even giving birth to his babies. They either thought of her as an adversary or they disliked her. Only Brenda was close to her and she was in Ixoviya. He decided to call her that instant. “What is it Dawn?” he asked her again.

Her breath hitched. “Will I be in jail when I will give birth to my babies?” 

He clenched his teeth. “There’s not a single jail that can contain you Dawn, and you know what I will do if that happens. You are the wife of Daryn Silver!” 

She gave him a feeble smile. Cupping his face in her hands, she said, “I know that my alpha is a tough guy.” 

“About the baby shower…?” 

They carried on talking about it until they reached the Silver House. Daryn had passed on the information to her office that she wouldn’t come for the day. He called Reyna to sit with her and decide about the baby shower ceremony while he went to attend a meeting. On his way to the meeting room, he got a call from Caleb. He picked up the call in the first ring. 

“Caleb, bro, how are you? When are you coming back? Do you want me to come there? Should I send Neal? I am too worried about you!” 

There was a tense pause. “She is too unwell Daryn… and too fragile…” Was he crying? “She doesn’t want to come as of now… but I am trying to convince her.” He heard him exhaling heavily. “I can’t live without her, and she doesn’t even love me…” 

Daryn knew it was the mate bond. 

“What do you want me to do Caleb?” he asked. “Because right now I can do anything.” 

“Thank Daryn. I will take care of this mess myself. Give me time. I need to figure out how she is going to survive. Each passing day is torture for me.” 

“Why don’t you bring her to Ixoviya? They want to crown you as their king. I am sure there is a solution for her in the Lore.” 

“Medical science has failed. They have given up. Her brain tumor is growing, extending its tentacles inside. What solution can the Lore have?” said Caleb in a defeating tone. 

“You never know brother. Just convince her to come here.”

“I will try…”

“What’s her name?” asked Daryn out of curiosity. 

“Elize.” 

“Ah! Nice name,” he remarked. 

“She is lovely. You have to see her. She is the most beautiful woman in the world. A year older than Dawn.” He laughed as he talked about her fondly. 

Someone called him. “Oh, talk to you later Daryn. Her father is calling me.” 

When Caleb disconnected the call, there was a smile on Daryn’s face. It would be so nice to have the family together. Dawn and him with their kids, talking over wine with Caleb and Elize, in a warm cozy room near hearth. Such a wonderful thought. 

Daryn stepped into the meeting room. 

— 

Kirk Lindsey was furious as hell. “Why did you go to meet Dawn Silver?” 

“Well because Erika needs money!” she said as she slammed the table. “Do you realize that Erika’s face needs plastic surgery?” 

“That doesn’t mean that you can go to Dawn and ask her for money! If she wants she can slap a blackmail case against you!” Kirk said in a menacing voice. “And why didn’t you tell me? Why did you keep it a secret?”

Bree stared at him. “I— I thought it was just a w— way to get out of this menace. Moreover I was doing it on behalf of E— Erika,” she stuttered. 

“You will not meet her again,” Kirk warned. 

“I don’t even want to,” she shrugged. 

“Now tell me all the details of your meeting.” 

After Bree had told every detail, she left his office. She was extremely anxious. Jason was waiting for her in her car and she yelled at him. “You bastards! Because of you I am facing so much trouble! If you don’t give me my promised money, I swear I am going to take each one of you out!” 

“Calm down Bree,” he said. “Tell me what happened.”

— 

Daryn walked back in his room to be greeted by Dawn’s laughter. His wolf relaxed and he grinned. He saw her laughing at Reyna’s jokes. As soon as she saw him, she said, “Baby, we have decided when to have the baby shower!”
