Amelia POV

“Are you ready to get out of here, Luna” the doctor asks when he walks into my room. “Absolutely, considering I wanted to go home last night.” He smiles and takes one last set of vital signs before he officially discharges me. We are meeting with everyone today about Lucas and Atlas. I want that sorry excuse for a wolf out of our lives before our son actually arrives. Lincoln brought me a light blue sundress and a pair of sandals. I grab my fresh clothes from him after I give him a kiss and head into the bathroom to get dressed. I feel like my bump has grown just in the last few days as I look in the mirror. Once I feel human again, I pull my hair into a high ponytail. I walk out and Lincoln’s eyes light up. “You look beautiful, my love.” He wraps his arms around me. “I can’t wait to make you Luna in front of the pack today finally.” I never expected to be a Luna but I’m excited to lead our pack by Lincoln’s side. He gets down onto his knees with his face to my belly. “Little bean, I can’t wait to meet you and love you.” “You are my son and the next Alpha of the Nightfire pack.” I can feel the tears in my eyes at this man’s words. I would never take back anything that’s happened because it led me to him. He was my destiny, I truly believe that in my heart.

He stands and wipes the tears off my cheeks. “I love you Amelia Thomas and I will in this life and the next.” The warmth that spreads through my body when he calls me using his surname is indescribable. The last piece of me that was a connection to him is officially gone. “I love you Lincoln, more than you will ever know.” He takes my face in his and kisses me with all the love we have between us. He pulls back when we are both breathless and places his forehead against mine. After a few moments, he takes my hand, leading me out of the pack hospital toward the pack house. Once we’re inside he starts to lead me toward the stairs but I stop him. “Lincoln, can you do something for me.” He turns with concern on his face. “Absolutely love, anything.” “Take me to see Jenn.” “Amelia” he says and I can already tell he is about to oppose my request. “Lincoln, she is in a cell and you are with me.” “I want to

say my peace to her.” “Love I know she can’t physically hurt you but what about her words.” I put my hand on his face. “Her words are just that, they mean nothing to me.” “I need her to know that evil doesn’t win.” “That you and I are going to live a happy life and she won’t.” He takes a deep breath and I can tell that he isn’t happy about his decision. He takes my hand, leading me through the kitchen to a door that has a guard standing next to it.

Lincoln POV

“Alpha” the guard greets me as he looks concerned that Amelia is standing next to me. “Please open the door so we may go down to the cells.” He seems to pause for a minute before he does as I ask. I feel the same way but I can’t say that to him. I know how strong Amelia is but I don’t want anything stressing her out after that b**ch Maureen tried to make her go into labor. I lead her down the stairs and we walk down a long hall to the last cell. When Jenn sees me she jumps up with a smile on her face. She really is a delusional b**ch. If it wasn’t for Amelia, she would be dead already. When she told me that she was helping that f**ker Atlas and her parents, I wanted to rip her head off her body. Amelia made me promise to keep her in the cells till our pup is born. As soon as she sees Amelia by my side, she smirks at her. “I see your still carrying that little ba**ard.” I roar at her words and Talon is ready to say hell with it and kill her. Amelia’s touch is the only thing that stops that from happening.

“Our son, the next Alpha of the Nightfire pack, is just fine” Amelia says. The smirk falls from Jenn’s face and she looks at me. “You are making a mistake taking on that wh*re and her ba**ard pup.” “I would hold your tongue because I’m about to forget the promise I made to my Luna and snap your f**king neck.” The hurt flashes across her face at my words. She thought she was alive because of me when it was Amelia’s doing. Amelia steps in front of me. “That’s right Jenn, Lincoln was going to kill you but I stopped him.” /”Make no mistake it wasn’t because I’m having mercy on you.” “I plan to be the one to end you after I have my pup.” “So, get comfortable and count your days because they are numbered.” She laughs and I wrap my arms around Amelia to keep myself under control. “Amelia, you are the last

person on this planet that I’m afraid of so I can’t wait.” “When I kill you, Lincoln will finally see who the true Luna of this pack is.” I can’t help myself I step around Amelia grabbing her neck through the bars.

Her eyes get big and I squeeze just enough to let her know how close to death she really is. “You will die by Amelia’s hands and I will throw your body outside this pack so the rogues can feed on you.” “You are nothing to me or this pack you b**ch.” I drop her to the ground and turn pulling Amelia into me. I bury my head in the crook of her neck, breathing in her scent to calm both me and Talon. “I love you, Lincoln.” “Her words mean nothing.” I pull back kissing her forehead. I take her hand “you ba**ard, it was supposed to me.” “You were supposed to love me, not her.” I don’t even respond to her delusional statement. Once we are back upstairs, the guard locks the door and I head into the dining room to get Amelia something to eat. Once she is at the table with my parents, I go up to get our food. I’m setting the last bit of eggs on my plate when I get a link from the guard at the gates. “Alpha Walker along with the warriors have returned and they have rogues with them.” I can hear the disdain in his voice and I do not like it. “You show our guests to my office now.” “Yes Alpha” he says.

I head over to the table, setting Amelia’s plate down in front of her. “Amelia, Walker is at the gate and he has rogues with him.” “I have the guards bringing them to our office.” She stands as I knew she would and I smile. She is the perfect Luna. “Amelia dear, you need to eat” my mother says. She leans down hugging my mother. “I promise I’ll eat.” She picks up her plate and I take it from her. We head upstairs and when we reach the office, I set it down on the table. I cover both the plates to keep them warm and we take a seat behind the desk. A knock sounds and the guard leads them inside. I can tell by the look on Walker’s face that I was right about the guard’s behavior. “Anthony, no matter the rank of a visitor, they are to be treated with respect, am I clear.” He drops his head “yes Alpha.” He turns toward the women “my apologies.” The two women nod and I notice the little girl sticks her tongue out at him. I chuckle to myself.

Walker POV

Once we are in the office, I offer the seats to Maureen and Judith. They both sit and Maureen pulls Penny onto her lap. “Alpha, Atlas has completely lost it and he knows that Elder James is alive.” He waits and I continue. I tell him everything that happened, including him almost killing me. Amelia looks at me with concern. “You need to be checked at the pack hospital.” I raise my hand to assure her that I don’t need to go to the hospital. “I’m fine Luna, I promise.” I lift my shirt to show her the area that is completely healed. Both the Luna and Alpha look like they can’t believe what I’m saying. “I understand why you did what you did to protect Jacob.” “I would do the same for my own men” Alpha Lincoln says. “I think the warriors have realized who Atlas really is.” “They are the only reason we are here right now.” I hear Penny whisper to her mom about how big Lincoln is and I chuckle. I forgot to introduce them with all I needed to share about Atlas.

“Alpha I’m sorry I didn’t even introduce you.” “Alpha and Luna this is Maureen, Penny, and Judith.” “Atlas had locked them in the cells for being to close to the pack territory.” I don’t say anything about what Maureen did for me because that is her story to tell. “It sounds as though Atlas is quickly losing his grip” Alpha Lincoln says. “I believe he plans to attack and we will fight by your side if you let us.” “Of course, Walker, you and the men are welcome to stay here.” “I will tell you this, there is coven that is targeting our pack.” “We will fight beside you Alpha Lincoln after all you have done for us” I say as I look around at the men with me who are nodding. “We will be having a meeting about both Lucas and Atlas this afternoon if you and the men would like to join us. ” “Absolutely, what about Maureen and her family.” Lincoln looks at his Luna and smiles. The Luna stands and comes around to the front of the desk. She looks beautiful with the child growing inside her. Penny turns to look at her with wide eyes.

Maureen POV

I feel like we are intruding on a private conversation as they talk about threats to their pack. I have never seen an Alpha wolf so willing to accept non-pack members and offer them help. When the Luna comes around the desk, she is very pregnant. Penny turns and hops off my lap before I can stop her. “Do you have a pup in there” she says pointing at her belly. The Luna smiles “yes I do, do you want to

feel him?” Penny jumps up and down like she offered her a million dollars. “Yes please” she says, and Luna leads her over to the couch. They both sit and she puts Penny’s hand on her belly. I smile at my innocent little pup. “Mama, he’s moving” she says as she smiles. I’m just about to answer her when a knock sounds on the door of the office. The door opens and I hear a growl that scares the hell out of me. I rush over to Penny, scooping her up before I hear the word “Mate.” My head whips in his direction and I smile.
