Fated to the Alpha–And His Triplet Brothers

Chapter 53: Falling apart

*~Hazel’s POV~*

I was shocked to my bones.

My stomach...oh my Goddess..my stomach had widened. It looked like it had grown, swollen beyond recognition.

"What in the hell is happening to me?"

Yes, I felt heavier this morning bloated, maybe a little off but I thought it was normal. Not like this. I wasn’t in my third trimester. I wasn’t even close. No, no, no. This wasn’t supposed to happen.

My eyes flew wide in panic. Cayden stood beside me, frozen, dumbfounded.

"What the hell..." he muttered. "Don’t tell me casted a spell to force the baby out of you."

"I didn’t!" I cried out " I’m not even a witch!"

"Oh my God..." I yelled, clutching my stomach as pain radiated through me like fire. "My stomach it’s stunning me! It feels like....like my water broke! Am I having the baby now?!"

Cayden’s eyes bulged. "What?! Hazel you’re... how many weeks along?!"

"Exactly!" I shrieked. "It’s not even a month yet! This baby isn’t supposed to be here!" NovelFire

Caspian burst into the room, breathless and froze the second his eyes landed on my belly.

His mouth dropped open. "No way in hell..." he whispered.

The healer, already halfway out the door, turned back, saw me, and nodded nervously.

She came forward quietly, checking my pulse with gentle fingers. Her touch was soft but firm as she moved to examine my stomach, eyes narrowing in silent concentration. After a moment, she finally spoke.

"You’re fine," she said calmly. "And your baby is fine too."

A small breath of relief escaped my lips—but her tone wasn’t entirely reassuring.

"You’re just... stressed," she added, her gaze lingering on me. "Overwhelmed. I can feel it. Your body is holding too much tension."

I stared at her, confused and a little panicked.
