The Alpha: Claiming His Enemy's Daughter novel Chapter 1021

Chapter 1021: SIDE STORY (WILL): A LITTLE HAPPY FAMILY

Will was very nervous, he couldn’t sit still when he learned that Hanna was going into a labor. He kept pulling his hair in distress, which made Hanna stopped him.

"Don’t do that, are you going to pluck all of your hair and become a bald father?" She chuckled, though she was in pain. Her contraction was getting closer the baby would be here soon and she couldn’t help, but feeling very expectant, but she was also worried about Will, since he looked like he was going to tear down something by the time she actually gave birth.

"You shouldn’t have gotten you pregnant," Will said in small voice.

Will loved his future child, he was going to do everything in his power to ensure their safety and happiness, but he couldn’t bear to see how Hanna was in so much pain. He loved her mate so much and all the scary stories about pregnancy and labor plagued his mind for weeks before the labor.

"Hey, I will be fine. Don’t frown, you will scare the baby," Hanna said gently. She caressed his cheek and Will kissed her hand.

"You shouldn’t have comforted me when you are the one, who is in pain..." Will felt bad again.

"I think I picked up a new habit."

By that time, Iris was also there, which alleviated some of Will’s worry because he knew how much the queen loved his mate and she wouldn’t let anything happen to Hanna.

Thankfully, the process was a smooth sailing and in less than two hours, Hanna had given birth to a beautiful baby boy. He was crying so hard and loud, as if he wanted to announce his presence to the whole world, so people would know.

It was a beautiful and a very memorable moment in Will’s mind when he held his son for the first time. He was crying until his face turned red and balled his fist to stuff it into his mouth. His baby was very adorable and the moment Will laid his eyes on him, he felt like his world was only getting better.

He fell in love with his boy in an instant. He and Hanna was his world.

"Congratulation!" the queen said, she had tears in her eyes too. Later, the king also came to see the baby and hold him for a while. "Give the baby to the mother, I am sure he is hungry."

Will immediately gave their baby to Hanna, so she could breastfeed him for the first time. It was a beautiful moment.

"Hm... baby, I think you need to slow down..." Will frowned to see how his baby was greedily eating. The queen was right, the baby was hungry. "Is it hurt?" He looked worried for his mate.

"Not really, but I think I will get used to it."

Will’s brows furrowed. "It looks painful."

For the next days, when Hanna was recuperating, Will would stay by her side, he literally was doing everything that he could to accommodate her and he would be the one, who woke up at night to accompany his baby whenever he was awake, unless the baby was hungry, it was beyond him.

Will suggested to have a wet nurse for their baby, so Hanna could rest, but she refused, stating that the queen didn’t have a wet nurse for the twin. More so, she loved her time when she was breastfeeding the baby. She felt the bond with her son.

"Axel is a beautiful name," Hanna said to Will’s suggestion for their baby. "I love the name."

With that they named their firstborn with Axel. Baby Axel was an easy baby to take care of, because he didn’t make a fuss and most of the time, he would sleep.

"Hanna, Hanna!" Will was frantic when he watched the baby rolled over for the first time, or when Axel mumbled his first word. "Don’t you think that he said daddy?"

Will felt extremely guilty when their baby fell from the bed because he put his guard down. Axel had started to roll over, thus he rolled to the side of the bed and fell.

Will almost cried when he frantically rushed toward the healer to get his son checked.

Sometime, Hanna had to remind him that he needed to relax a bit, since he was very tense, especially when Axel fell sick. It was not often for shifter baby to fall sick, but because their healing ability was still not developed fully, it was not an unusual thing to happen either.

"Axel will be fine," Hanna said, as she found Will was sitting beside Axel’s crib.

Will lifted his head and gestured for Hanna to sit on his lap, which she did. She snuggled sleepily against his chest, while he held her closely.

"I have never thought that my life will turn out like this." Will kissed her forehead. "Thank you for everything that you have done. Thank you for being patient with me. Thank you for giving me this family and sacrificed your body to give birth to our beautiful baby. You don’t know how much I appreciate it."

Hanna hugged him back. She kissed his neck. "You have contributed a lot too," she didn’t want Will to forget about it. "You meant a lot for me too. You have kept me safe, make me the happiest that I have ever felt and I am so thankful that you didn’t give up on me, on us."

Hanna was very thankful that Will kept trying to get away from his past trauma and even more when she noticed that he had stopped hurting himself.
