The Blind Second Chance

Chapter Thirty-Seven

Ryder

Her screams. That's all I heard. I couldn't be there. They kicked me out when they learned the truth. I kept pacing. Bullets to my heart as I heard her each time. Then all of a sudden it stopped. Her screams had died down. I enhanced my hearing and put my ear to the door. Nothing. But the low mumbling of Ale and the nurse in there. Then Emeralds shallow breathe.

I can't take it anymore. I opened the door and my eyes widen. Emerald was laying there. Motionless. The heart monitor was still going for her. She just passed out which was a relief. I then looked at Ale, he held a grim look. I looked down at the bundle he held in his arms and I rushed over. I put back the blanket to see the baby. It's eyes were closed and it was. Motionless. "Is it-" I looked down at the kid worryingly. It was silent. Oh no. I looked back at Emerald. She didn't move. She wasn't moving.

"No. no. No. no please don't tell me it's dead" the heart monitor on Emerald started to dim down. Suddenly the baby started to cough and a sigh of relief washes over all of us. Her heart monitor went back to normal. The baby started to cry and the doctor passed him to the nurse who rushed the pup out of there. I walked over to the side of her and grabbed her hand.

"Hey you did great...your a mom now" she stirred a bit and then her thumb ran across my knuckles.

"H-how's the baby?"

"It's a 8 pound, healthy, baby boy. Have you guys decided on a name yet?"

"I think we did"

"Well may I introduce to you Mason Moon" my eyes widen at the sight. Emerald was cradling the baby, he was sleeping in her arms. She was caressing his face softly. She sniffed the air and then smiled.

"Hey" she patted the bed next to her and I steadily walked over. I cautiously sat down, Mason cooed a bit and he snuggled closer to her. Dane seemed to go quiet and out of here as he would normally linger in my mind.

"H-how do you feel?"

"I'm fine actually" I looked down at the pup and his eyes were open. They were a dark shade of red. All vampires had that eye color at birth, by age 4 it will start to go away then they can control it. I frowned a bit. "It shouldn't have been this way and I know deep down inside you regret me giving birth to him" I looked up at her seeing stray tears pile down her face.

"No. no no no. It's not like that. Not at all. It's just. Well. It shouldn't have been done they way it was done" even though she couldn't see I gave her a tight smile. I then brought my hand up wiping away her tears.

"There's sometime your not telling me is there? I may be blind but I can still feel what your feeling Ryder. It's regret and discomfort. The feelings when you have not told truth" I gulped back the bitterness in my throats and stared down at the floor. I stayed silent.

"And then you ignore every time you know I'm right.."

"Em I keep my secrets for a reason" my voice rose a bit.

"But I am your mate. You should be able to share those with me"

"It's for your own good"

"Nothing is for my own good anymore"

"Emerald just drop it!" I stood up a this point. Mason began to cry at the change of tone and her face scrunched up.

"Get out" she tilted her head towards the baby, trying to get him to calm down.

"Em I-"

"If you wish to tell you mate lies then you may excuse yourself out the door"

"Fine" and with that I slammed the door shut.

Emerald

I cringed at the noise of the door and then went to calm down Mason best I could. I ran a hand along his short hair and by his breathe he seemed to have sighed in content. I hummed s bit in satisfaction and then a tapping noise. I seemed to have been coming from behind me. But all there was behind me was the bed frame I'm sure of it. Kya was growling inside and suddenly I felt the need to hold Mason closer.

Someone unwanted is here

The hairs on the back of my neck stood up and I sniffed the air. I clutched the baby closer. He is here.

"Did you not get my letter my sweet? Is that why your hair is standing on end?" His menacing voice ripped through the air.

"What letter?"

"Well it was a letter to your mate, I thought I told him to send a message through"

"How did you get in here?" I can already tell he was grinning.

"Well you know how influential I can be love. But that's beside the pint. I came to see my baby. I'm thinking of taking little Mason home" I straightened up and clutched him more towards my chest.

"He is going no where near a monster like you"

"Yet you let him near my brother. Now if I'm correct, He is a monster as well"

"You know nothing of Ryder! Now get out of my sight!"

"Oh the irony in that statement" he chuckled a bit and I sensed him sitting on the bed. His hand went on my leg. I scooted over a bit, loosing his touch on me. I felt disgusted. I felt dirty.

"But I am the father of Mason. Shame that you named him that name, such a low-rank name. I would've preferred something of much higher class such as Damon or Nicklaus"

"Then your higher class should be compared to dirt than. I will not name my child such, such Vampirish name"

"Oh but his eyes are just like Daddy's now aren't they. You wouldn't know that but they are. Every time your mate looks into his eyes, he will see me. Every time Rae looks, she will see me. and every time the adults of this pack will look they will see their true full Alpha"

"You will never be an Alpha! Get over it. And this baby is mine and not yours! There is nothing you can do to take him away"

"Did Ryder tell you even the reason why he didn't want you to abandoned my son?" He came closer. "Or did he lie about that too?" My eyebrows rose up. "So now your interested"

"Stop the chitchat. What is it he isn't telling me?"

There was a pause. "Well now that will be too easy now wouldn't it? I needs a favor before I tell you my dear"

"Name your price"

"8:00, am, bring Mason with you near the western boarder. We can talk there my love" and with that he left and Mason began to cry.
