his mate but my
grandchildren as well? We both know I can’t do that.”
    “The quarantine keeps everyone safe
–”
    Her stomach tightened at his stubbornness .
“I can assure you I don’t give a damn about your quarantine right
now. My daughter is in pain and about to give birth to my
grandbabies. So send for Matt now damn it!”
    “Calm down, Jasmine.”
    “Fuck that. You’ve never given
birth, so you don’t sit or fucking stand wherever you are and deny
her the care she needs. Get the damn doctor here now or I’ll go get
him myself. I’m serious about that.”
    “He’s on his way .”
    She exhaled and looked behind her. Tyrone and
Rose stared. “What?” she asked.
    “Nothing, just things got hot in here for a
minute there,” Tyrone said looking around the room and then back at
her. “I assume Matt’s on his way?”
    Jasmine sensed the heat, cleared her throat and
straightened. “Yes. I don’t go against my mate’s judgement often
but this is an emergency.”
    Rose extended her arm. “Thank you,
mom.”
    Jasmine’s eyes filled as she accepted Rose’s
hand. “No need to thank me, just have those babies wait a few more
minutes and we’ll be good.”
    “Jasmine.”
    “Not now, Silas, I’m too
angry.”
    “Davian has to come with him, do you
understand what that means ?”
    She didn’t respond.
    “Cameron has to babysit Tomas and
your ex-lover will be in a confined space with you for an
indefinite time. My wolf will be distracted.”
    She rolled her eyes . “Tell your wolf my
ex-lover will be with his mate and you won’t be with
yours.”
    He growled through their link. “ I don’t need
this now.”
    “Then stop talking and handle your business.
Between four pups, a son about to pass out from exhaustion, his
mate about to give birth and my Mama suddenly incapable of doing
anything without the help of her mate I assure you I’m quite busy
myself .” She disconnected their link. Sometimes he made her so
damn angry.
    “Tyrone go lay down. Danielle and I will sit
with Rose until she has the baby. We’ll wake you when it’s time,”
Jasmine said, shooing him out the way.
    He released Rose’s hand and placed a kiss on
Jasmine’s cheek. “Love you, Mama.”
    “I know, baby. Now go rest.” She took the chair
still reeling from her confrontation with Silas. She imagined their
next private conversation would be filled with fire and then well,
they always finished their arguments with hot, mind-blowing sex.
Just thinking about the latter got her excited. A few moments
later, Danielle stuck her head in the room.
    “Is this a private party?” She chuckled and
walked inside.
    “Nope, pull up a chair, I’m timing the
contractions. When Matt gets here, he’ll tell us what else to do,”
Jasmine said looking at her watch and then at Rose.
    “Oh thank the Goddess, I wondered who would
deliver the babies. I just couldn’t see any of us doing it.” She
frowned. “Wait. What about the quarantine? Has it
lifted?”
    Jasmine’s cheeks warmed. “No but Silas is
concerned and wants Matt to handle it.”
    Danielle stared at her a moment longer and then
nodded. “Yes, Ma’am.”
    Butterflies filled Jasmine’s stomach as the
contractions came closer together. Sweat beaded on her brow as
Rose’s discomfort ratcheted. Where the hell was Matt? Rose’s moans
escalated to sharp shrieks.
    Jasmine didn’t want the children to waken and
decided to move Rose to her and Silas’ private rooms at the end of
the hall. She needed Jacques to change the code for the others to
enter that space.
    Excusing herself from the room, she knocked on
Jacques’ door and explained the situation. He stepped outside but
didn’t close the door completely.
    “I need Silas’ permission to do that,” he
said.
    “Get it then,” she said not seeing a problem.
At this point Silas would give Rose and Tyrone whatever they needed
for a safe delivery.
    Jacques sighed. “If I bothered him for that
he’d skewer me. Can’t
