Leland smiled sweetly at her and kissed Sophie's forehead. His heart was broken but he didn't want her to see how he was feeling devastated by the loss of their unborn babies.

She needed to get better first. He could mourn alone until she was ready. Until then, Leland would do his best to distract Sophie from even thinking about their unborn children.

Sophie realized there was something off. Her mate looked really sad, instead of relieved that she had recovered.

Did something bad happen? Was that the reason why the attack was canceled at the last minute?

"How long did I sleep?" Sophie asked Leland. She needed to know what happened and how long did she pass out.  She only remembered being in so much pain and then everything turned black.

Leland sat beside her and rubbed her arm lovingly. He replied, "Four days."

It was four agonizing days. After the midwife took out their dead children, Leland had to focus day in and day out, sharing his strength and self-healing abilities with his mate. Otherwise, she might still be unconscious and in so much pain by now.

"Oh… that's really long," Sophie pressed her lips in surprise. No wonder she felt so weak.

"Yes, so you need to eat something," Leland said, faking a smile. "I will get a servant to bring you food."

He rang a small bell and soon a servant entered the room and bowed down respectfully. He wouldn't want to leave Sophie's side even to get food. That's why he used that bell.

"Please get us some food," Leland said to the servant. He paused for a while and then added, "Also tell Lucas to bring Luciel and Jan here."

"Will do, Alpha."

The servant bowed down again and then left the room to do what the Alpha ordered him. Sophie immediately smiled when she remembered Luciel and Jan. Ahh… they must be missing her badly when she was unconscious. She turned to look at Leland and squeezed his arm lovingly.

She was thankful for his thoughtfulness. He understood that, as a mother, the first thing she wanted to know was how her children were doing. He intentionally asked the servant to bring their children to their bedroom.

Leland hoped that seeing her children would make Sophie feel better and she could recover more quickly. It would also help to distract her from the pain and losing her babies. At least temporarily.

"Oh… how were the kids while I was sick?" Sophie asked Leland after the servant left. She looked miserable when she thought about how worried her husband and children were.

"They are healthy and happy. I told them you were unwell and needed rest," Leland explained. "I make sure they are taken care of properly. They also spent a lot of time outside with Max and Duncan. I think yesterday they even came home with a prey each."

Sophie was very impressed to hear that. Her babies were only nine months old, but they could already hunt? That sounded so amazing. She was so proud of them.

"Really? That's wonderful," she beamed in happiness and it was enough to make Leland feel so much better. "What kind of prey did they get?"

"Well… Lucien got a small rat, and Jan brought home a rabbit." Leland smiled too. He was happy to see Sophie focused on her children that she didn't realize that she was no longer pregnant. He added, "Once you are fully recovered, I will take the boys on a hunting trip and teach them how to do it well."

"Ahh… thank you so much," Sophie tilted her face and kissed Leland's cheek. "They would love that."

"Me too." Leland kissed her back and rubbed her hair. "Maybe we can go to the countryside after this, where the air is fresher and have better scenery. I know a place, it's beautiful and relaxing to stay there, and the kids can go hunting in the small woods nearby,"

"Sounds good," Sophie nodded. Secretly, she was glad that the attack on Livstad was canceled and they could spend time together as a family in a relaxing place. It means, they would go on a nice holiday.

KNOCK KNOCK

A servant opened the door and, as soon as there was an opening big enough for a lycan pup to enter, Luciel and Jan tried to squeeze through at the same time. They ended up blocking each other's path.

They both bumped into the door and flew back, before landing on the floor outside the room with a thud. Fortunately, they were very healthy and didn't feel the pain from the collision.

SWOOSH!!

After the boys got back on their feet, they immediately dashed back toward their mother, this time passing through the door that was now wide open.

"Ohh, Luciel! Jan…!" Sophie was teary-eyed when Luciel and Jan arrived at the foot of her bed and started scratching the floor, asking to be lifted to be with their mother.

Leland quickly carried one pup each with his hands and gently placed them on the bed beside Sophie.

He was right. These children were good for distractions. The grey and black wolf pups were now quite big. They were the size of an adult cat.

They were wagging their tails and nuzzling up to Sophie as if confessing how much they loved and missed her.

"I am sorry, I was sick for several days," Sophie rubbed Luciel's and Jan's fur lovingly. "Now, I am fine. Please don't worry about me."

She was sad that she couldn't communicate with her children before they could shift into humans, she didn't understand werewolf's language.

However, as a mother, she could feel what they feel and guessed what they wanted. And at this moment, she knew Luciel and Jan were expressing their longing for her.

She bent down a little and kissed Luciel and Jan on their heads respectively, to soothe their feelings.

"Your father told me that you managed to hunt prey each, didn't you, Leland?" The Alpha nodded. Sophie smiled and looked at the boys alternately. "I am  so proud of you both."
