Sovereign Fate Chapter 27 Teaser

Oh...you guys are going to kill me for this cliffhanger teaser! On the plus side, my surprise writing surge means that you will only have to wait until Sunday night/Monday morning to read the full chapter and find out what happens. Hope you enjoy!

Soon the doctor that had been sent for an hour before burst into the room, forcing everyone to clear but Esme and Bella. He wouldn’t dare order around his new Queen and the lady who was his queen until just a few hours before. He examined Alice with a frown before turning to Bella and Esme with grave eyes.

“That baby is breech and appears to be stuck in transition. We have two options, we can either turn it or deliver the baby through surgery. One places the child in mortal danger, and the other the mother.”

Bella felt her heart stop in her chest. She knew her history and many women, including a former queen of England, had died from complications after a surgical delivery. She couldn’t bear the thought of either loss, for she already loved her niece or nephew dearly, but could not stand the thought of Alice leaving her world even more so.

Esme sobbed before leading the doctor to talk to Jasper in the hallway, while Bella tried to soothe the writhing Alice. When the contraction bringing on her screams relaxed for a moment, Alice grabbed Bella’s arm tightly, looking straight in her eyes.

“I don’t care what Jasper says. I want you to order the surgery.”

Bella’s eyes welled with tears as she sobbed down at the weakening Alice. “I cannot do that, Alice. I cannot order that.”
