Meant (To Be Yours) by Anaya Phoenix (reading books for 7 year olds TXT) 📕

She asked her wolf and he shrugged.
“Use your sight, look into the forest. Find the shooters. Get them out of this.” As soon as Sarah gave the order it was followed through. Soon all the sounds died down, all that was left was a loud chorus of howls.

Sarah fell from the tree on her back and she groaned at the immense pain that rocked her body and damn near robbed her of her sight. She howled weakly into the air, hoping someone would hear. Across the field Drew stopped moving and sniffed, his eyes widened and he zoomed to find his mate. He found her, crumpled and laying on the cold earth in a fetal position.
“It hurts, it hurts so bad.” That was the second time he’d seen her like this, and heard her say those words and, if he were being honest, he fucking hated it. Because every time this happened, something was going on. The first time, she’d been marked as the Blue Luna. Only Mother Moon knew what it was this time. He walked to his mate and picked her up. He ran to the pack house and into the basement. He was shocked to see everyone surrounding a sweat soaked Sammy.
“I was wondering when that was going to happen.” Sammy panted out as she clutched her adopted mothers’ hand. Sarah screamed and writhed in pain in Drew’s arms and his wolf completely took over. He stormed to the crowd and placed his mate, laying down, on the floor in front Molly and Sammy.
“I know you know what’s wrong. Fix it, now.” He growled out, not caring if he was being rude. His mate was in pain and he couldn’t fix it, but he knew those two could.
“Kinda in the middle of having a baby here, can’t really help out two people who have totally ignored everything.” Sammy groaned as another wave of pain rocked through her. Sarah yelled out again and scratched at the cement floor with her claws, forming five jagged lines.
“That didn’t happen when I did it.” Molly said and looked at her fingers.
“When you did what?” Drew growled and took a step closer to Molly, being careful not to touch Sarah.
“When I had Luna, of course.”

Nine. Hours. It took nine hours for Sarah to start crowning. Throughout it all she promised Drew serious pain when she was able to move without it hurting her. So she let him rub her back, and she let him give her ice chips in the hospital. But all that changed as soon as she started the actual childbirth. She kicked him out of the room and told Molly and her mother to come in. They were the only people who had been through this, and those were the only people she wanted to see. They stood on either side of her, not saying anything, occasionally rubbing her back and letting her hold their hands. She was both mentally and physically drained by the time the baby had come out.
“Here he is.” The doctor said softly and gave him to a nurse, who wiped him down, skillfully ignoring the cries that managed to not rake through Sarah’s mind, and handed him to her. His cries instantly stopped when he was in her arms. He opened his eyes to reveal to baby blue irises Sarah would’ve awed at… if it hadn’t been for the immense pain in her uterus.
“What the f-“
“Looks like we’re not done here.” The doctor said as she gestured for the nurse to take the baby. Sarah was glad she did, because if she hadn’t Sarah probably would’ve squeezed the little guy to death. She pushed and she pushed again, thankfully I only took two pushes and it wasn’t as painful as it was before, and was delighted to hear the shrill cry of the last baby. She was panting by the time they handed her a second pink bundle. Blue irises, once again, peeked up at her again. The crying did not stop, if anything, it got louder and more shrill. Well, she thought in her mind, I don’t like you much either. The nurse gave her the boy, and she put him in her other arm. Only then did the little girl pipe down.
“I thought us girls were supposed to stick together.” Sarah said lightly in a hoarse voice. Molly laughed and looked at the little girl.
“I think she’s absolutely adorable. What’re you going to name them?” Molly said nothing about how there were two and not one, but Sarah knew everyone else was going to say it. She hadn’t even known she was pregnant! How did that even work!?
“Ander. Ander and Anna Mascot.” Even as Sarah said their names she felt the rightness of them settle down in her bones as she gave them both a mischievous little smile.
“This is gonna be fun.”
