Mated To The Alpha King (Raven and Ethan) novel Chapter 220

Chapter 220

Reven’s Pov

Days later.

It’s been five days now since I gave birth, and I had been in the hospital all this while under close monitoring.

The doctors said they wanted to make sure everything was fine both with me and the babies, but truth be told, I was already tired of the place. The white walls, the smell of medicine, and the constant footsteps of nurses were choking me.

My heart was yearning for home.

I sat on the bed, my back resting against the pillow, while my babies lay in their little hospital crib beside me.

My hands slowly traced their small fingers, soft and delicate, and a tired smile curved my lips. They were so tiny, yet so perfect.

Each time I looked at them, I forgot about the pain, the tears, and the years of torment I had endured.

They were my peace. My beginning. My everything.

The door creaked open, and Derick walked in with his usual calm but protective aura. The moment our eyes met, his face softened, and he walked closer to me, leaning down to kiss my forehead.

“You’re awake,” he said gently, his eyes sweeping over me and then resting on the twins.

“Yes,” I replied softly, my voice carrying a little strength that even surprised me.

He sat by my side, his hand covering mine. “How are you feeling?”

I hesitated for a moment before whispering, “I want to go home.”

His eyes widened slightly. “Home?”

I nodded slowly. “Yes… I’m strong enough. I don’t want to spend another night here. I just want to be in my own space with you and the kids.”

Derick studied me for a long while, as if weighing my words. His hand brushed against my cheek, his thumb gently stroking my skin. “Are you sure you’re strong enough, Raven?” he asked again, his voice careful, protective, and filled with worry.

“Yes,” I answered firmly. “I’m strong enough. I don’t want to stay here anymore.”

A deep sigh escaped his lips, but then he nodded. “Alright. If that’s what you want, then that’s what we’ll do. I’ll handle everything.”

He excused himself to talk to the doctor and finish the paperwork, leaving me alone with the twins. I bent closer to them, brushing my lips softly against their foreheads.

Chapter 220

“My little angels,” I whispered. “After years of torture, after years of being broken by my family and my mate… finally, I’ve found peace. Peace with you two. Pence with Derick.”

Tears pricked at the corners of my eyes, but I quickly blinked them back. I had shed enough tears in the past. I wanted nothing but smiles for my babies now.

Still, my thoughts drifted to Alpha Ethan. My chest tightened at the sound of his name in my head. Did he know about the children? Did Matthew tell him? Was he somewhere, planning to come after me again?

I shook my head quickly. “I don’t mind if he knows,” I whispered, my voice firm this time. “He is not taking you away from me. Never. You two are my heart, my life, and my soul. I won’t let him destroy this piece of

me.”

My wolf stirred inside me, her voice soft but certain. “You are not alone, Raven. Derick is the perfect partner. He is here for us. For you. For them.”

I nodded slightly, agreeing with her. Maybe for the first time in my life, I felt what it was like to be safe.

Moments later, the door opened again, and Derick returned, his face softer than before. “Everything is ready,” he announced, his eyes shining.

A faint smile broke across my face. “So soon?”

“Yes,” he said with a small laugh. “I wasn’t going to let anything keep you here longer than you wanted. Let’s go home.”

He lifted one of the twins carefully, holding the little boy in his strong arms, while I carried the girl. Together we walked out of the hospital room, step by step, our little family. The nurses and doctors watched as we passed, some of them smiling warmly, and I felt a strange mix of emotions. Relief, hope, fear, and happiness all blended together in my chest.

Outside, a sleek car was waiting for us. The driver quickly opened the doors, and Derick helped me inside before he got in with the other baby. The ride home was quiet, peaceful even. I leaned my head against the window, staring at the passing scenery while listening to the soft breaths of my children.
