The Tiger Prince's Witch
Chapter 68 - New Arrivals

Everything was moving fast. The wolf pack was settled and training hard for the battle. Santi and Maxie had marked each other so they could be connected before anything terrible happened to separate them. Despite the worry and tension from the fight, everything was going smoothly.

Liana and Zack were getting stronger and had some control over their powers. It was an incredible sight to see little cubs who couldn't walk waving their hands around to make things happen. They were the darlings of the palace, and everyone was mesmerized by them. The parents never had to worry about replaceing sitters if they needed time alone.

Kamryn and Anna were walking toward the dining hall when a bone-chilling scream came from one of the rooms. They both started running in the direction of the screams when a door opened. Jarek came out holding a crying Marcella in his

arms.

"What's wrong?" Anna asked anxiously while looking over at Marcella.

"She's in labor." They all started heading toward the room that was still set up from when Anna and Jaz had their cubs. As they got to the door, there were running footsteps from down the hall. Gary was running toward them, carrying Shila. "Let me guess, she's in labor too?" Kamryn asked.

"Yes," Gary answered before going into the room. Anna and Kamryn waited outside while the two couples prepared for the deliveries. The doctors and nurses arrived within minutes of the two couples.

"You know what this means don't you?" Anna asked nervously, looking at Kamryn.

"What?" He already knew what she was going to say, but he was hoping he was wrong.

"Once they're born, we can be attacked at any time. Everything happens for a reason. We have all the tools we were meant to have once they have given birth. That means we need to be on high alert and have patrols all around so we can be made aware at the first sign of trouble." Anna spoke quietly while looking at the door, where they could hear the sounds of labor from the two women.

"Do you have any idea how long we'll have until they come?" Kamryn could feel the dread washing over him. He was terrified that something was going to go wrong. What would happen if Astaroth got his hands on Anna? It would kill him if one hair on her head was harmed. They'd come too far from her being the girl with no memory in the cabin for it all to end because of a demon.

"I think we may have about two weeks, three at the most. The scrolls don't have an exact date, but from what I read, it won't be long after the arrival of the little ones. We have to stay strong not only for everyone that's here but for our daughter and each other. Don't let your fear of something happening to me make you lose focus on our goal." Anna felt him squeeze her hand, and she looked up into his terrified eyes.

"Are you keeping something from me? Is something going to happen to you? Please tell me you're going to survive this battle, Anna. I can't lose you." Kamryn had tears running down his face, and her heart ached.

The one thing that was clear in the scrolls was that not everyone would survive. She didn't know who would die but knew it would cause heartbreak among them all.

"I honestly don't know who will survive and who won't, but we need to be prepared for the worst." Anna wrapped her arms around him, trying to calm him, but he was already picturing a world without her. There was no way that was possible. His life would be over. Not thirty minutes later, Gary and Jarek walked out holding their newborns.

"You guys, they're here. This is Sasha." Anna and Kamryn looked at the little girl with a light tan complexion and almost white eyes with a hint of amber. She had a head full of black hair.

"She's beautiful," Anna said with tears in her eyes as she looked at Gary and Shila's daughter.

"This is Sean," Jarek said excitedly. They turned around to look at the little boy with dark brown hair and white eyes with a hint of grey.

"He's so handsome. I can see both you and Marecella in him." Anna stroked his little cheek, and his eyes focused on her. She heard a voice in her head as she looked into the little ones' eyes.

*"My name is Felix. I can be a lycan or a tiger when Sean gets older, depending on what he needs. I know you, Anna. You are the one who will save us all. I was given to Sean as a gift to help you with this upcoming battle. Your ancestors are incredibly proud of the woman you've become. They have been able to hold off Astaroth until now because you are the only one who can defeat him. Your name was written in the scrolls hundreds of years ago."*

Anna was shaking, but she continued rubbing his little cheek. As the tears streamed down her face, she tried to respond.

*"It's nice to meet you, Felix. I knew you were special, and I hope you'll be in our lives even after this battle."* For the first time in a long time, Anna didn't know what else to say. She heard a slight chuckle.

*"Don't you worry about that, my dear. You see, Sean is the fated mate of Liana, so before you know it, we'll be related."* Anna gasped and looked at the others, who were all watching her in confusion. Kamryn put his arm around her. "Anna, what's going on?" He asked.

"Felix spoke to me." She answered softly.

"Who's Felix?" Jarek asked, looking down at his son.

"He's Sean's lycan and tiger. He's unique and was sent here by my ancestors." Anna didn't want to share everything he said. Some of it was personal. However, there was one thing she wanted to share.

"Is that all he said?" Jarek asked. She smiled and bent down to kiss Sean's forehead.

"No. He also said that he and Liana are fated mates. So soon, we'll all be related." Everyone looked at her in shock. She walked back over to Sasha to see if there were any surprises with her. As she touched Sasha's cheek, she looked into Anna's eyes.

*"I knew you'd make your way back over here. I'm as old as Felix, and my name is Mila. I'm Sasha's wolf, but I also have the power of Spirit Energy. Felix and I have been preparing for this for a long time. You thought you had the power of six, but you'll actually have the power of eight. We won't physically be in your circle when you take on Astaroth, but our powers will help you nonetheless. Sasha is Zack's, fated mate. Liana, Sean, Zack, and Sasha will be the most powerful beings on this earth. The need for that will all come in due time. Let's get ready to take out a demon first."* Anna kissed Sasha's forehead and looked up at Gary with a smile.

"Mila, Sasha's wolf, just spoke to me. Zack is her fated mate. So our family is rapidly growing. She also said that the four of them would be the most powerful beings on earth, but she wasn't ready to disclose why that was necessary yet. Let's go share this news with their mothers. Are you okay with me calling in the others to meet them?" The three men just stared at her with their mouths open. Anna couldn't help but giggle.

"How are you able to talk to Felix and Mila already?" Kamryn asked in awe.

"They were sent by my ancestors. So they can speak directly to me right now. Our children are already incredible, but when they get older, they're going to be out of this world. It's truly going to be a sight to see." Anna could tell they were all still frozen with everything she shared, so she started walking toward the room where Marcella and Shila were.

"Congratulations, ladies. Sasha and Sean are beautiful. Are you okay with having everyone else meet them so I can tell you what I just discovered about our children?" Anna asked. Both women looked confused, but they nodded. As the men finally walked into the room, Anna mindlinked Randal and asked him to bring Micha, Jaz, her parents, and Jaz's parents, as well as Liana and Zack.

Once everyone was in the room and had cuddled the little ones, Anna looked around at them. She knew this news would be surprising but would give them hope. She explained everything she'd learned from Felix and Mila.

"This is unbelievable. Everything keeps getting more interesting and terrifying in the same breath." Lynn said while looking at the children. Liana was lying with Sean, and Zack was lying with Sasha. They all seemed to already know they were connected.

"If nothing else is certain, the fact that our children will survive is something we can look forward to." Everyone nodded their agreement as they looked at the four precious ones sleeping. Anna watched all their faces. If she had one wish, it would be that everyone in this room would survive, but from what she understood from the scrolls, that would not be likely.
