Chapter 670: The beginning of a storm____2

Scarlet had always known that she would be giving birth in the underworld. It had always been her assumption that the birth itself would be happening inside Arcissa's home, in that big tree like house. Instead, she found herself in the lonely river village, inside a house she had only seen from a distance once before, Nyx's house. 

Apparently he had been making preparations because the house had all this baby stuff, toys, clothes, a rocking chair similar to hers, soft carpets on the floor. This was a house prepared with a family in mind.

She had many questions but she was in pain so the questions would have to wait. Sharp blinding pain pierced her abdomen and caused her to shriek like a banshee. 

It was so painful that tears formed and slipped from her eyes. It didn't help that the hounds were noisy, growling as loudly as they had been doing on the Blue star. 

"Put her down gently." A voice said.
