[GRAPHIC DESCRIPTIONS OF PAIN].
***
Pain had never felt so visceral. My entire being shook from the sheer force of it. My belly tigtened, a stretch, a push and pull, a tug of war that threatened to tear me apart from within.
My arms wrapped my stomach. Maybe that would protect Aurora.
Arc got to me first. He held me as I got to my feet. Everyone did the same.
The air was knocked out of my lungs, a suffocating pressure on my chest as the pain in my lower abdomen increased. I clutched harder, veins popping in my head.
"Chloe. You're fine. Stay with me."
No. My baby. My Aurora. I had to protect my child. "Get away from me!" I yelled, eyes glowing a grey-blue and a force from my palm pushed Arc and others back that they stumbled.
My body was bent forward, the pain searing through my blood. "Please... not my baby. Not her, too." My lips quivered as I cried out in pain.
"Chloe!" Kai hugged me, but I couldn't. No.
