Leah’s POV
“Yeah?” I frowned. I wasn’t entirely sure if Sebastian was smiling because he was in total shock or if he was actually happy. “Sebastian?” I watched him as he took a couple of steps and rubbed his chin. “Are you okay? Did you hear what I said? I’m pregnant.” I frowned, unsure if I might have broken him. He stood there looking at the floor for a couple of minutes and I felt my heart freezing over completely. I had to be ready for him to tell me to get rid of our baby. I mean, we did have an agreement that I wasn’t going to get pregnant …
“Yeah, I’m okay. I’m happy!” He smiled. “And sad, and nervous and furious.” He frowned. “Leah, you know what this means, right?” He rushed over and pulled me into his arms and I nodded.
“I’m so sorry, my lo
Leah’s POVWe were sitting in the exam room at the doctor’s and I felt my heart race! Sebastian suggested we visit the doctor under the circumstances and I was beginning to wonder if I was even pregnant. What if the home test gave me a false positive? Getting one was tough enough as it was without Carl seeing me buy it. If that damn thing gave me a false positive, I was going to lose my shit! I should have come to the doctor before telling Sebastian! I should have made one hundred percent sure I was pregnant before I told him!“Congratulations!” The doctor walked in smiling and I almost burst into tears after all the stress of waiting to find out! I still didn’t know if I was happy about the baby or not. I felt so incredibly emotional and overwhelmed! I had so many questions and nobody answered them for me. It was still too soon to see anything on the tests and I lay back as the doctor squirted the c
Leah’s POVFor some strange reason, the memory of Eli popped into my thoughts as Emily gushed about the baby. Back then it seemed as though that was all he wanted from me. A child. Then something strange started bugging me. Why wasn’t Eli’s mate with the elder and the warriors who came around here looking for them? The last time Eli disappeared she was the first to come looking for him …“Are you okay? Do you have morning sickness or anything?” Emily’s voice pierced my thoughts and I smiled, explaining that I actually felt really good. I didn’t have morning sickness or any of those things I heard women get during the first couple of months. I felt pretty normal. She looked more than a little jealous and laughed when she told me how incredibly sick she got from her first pregnancy and with her second one, she had the weirdest cravings, which had me pulling my nose just to think abou
Eli’s POVI reached the border of my territory and a last burst of energy rushed through my veins, but I was so damn tired! I hadn’t healed completely yet after what those bastards did to me and even with my hybrid status, it was tough to get this far. As soon as I crossed the border, my legs gave way under me and everything just went dark around me.I had no idea how long I had been passed out like that when I heard panicked voices around me and soon, I felt them lifting me up as I was carried further. I was so thirsty that my throat was actually burning, but I knew I couldn’t drink blood. I couldn’t do that to any of my people and, honestly, I wasn’t entirely sure if drinking werewolf blood was such a good idea. Since the venom in our bite could kill a vampire, I wasn’t entirely sure if it was in our blood, but then again, a vampire and a wolf lived inside my body and the one didn’t kill the oth
Leah’s POV‘Sebastian! Come quickly!’ I mind-linked him to meet me in the common room where I could only hope to find another news report about Nathaniel! Sebastian rushed in and the first thing my darling mate wanted to know was if the baby was okay. He was so damn precious! I explained what I heard on the news as I flipped through the channels, but Sebastian wasn’t convinced that it was Nathaniel. He didn’t believe that anyone was strong enough or clever enough to get away with it. He told me that he tried to get rid of Nathaniel once himself and the price he had to pay for betraying Nathaniel was something he would never tell anyone. It was so bad. I still couldn’t believe that Sebastian had gotten himself mixed up with Nathaniel in the first place! He must have been so desperate to prove his strength! He rushed out of the room while Emily helped me to find more news about Nathaniel. He was pretty
Eli’s POVI waited until I was sure all my people were in the great hall before I walked in. As I took my place at the podium, I stood looking at all of them.“For years now, we’ve had to take whatever our neighbours dished our way. Alpha Sebastian even stole my mate and claimed her as his own when he found out that she was my destined mate.” I knew the stories had been circling around the pack so it wouldn’t be news to any of them to find out that Leah was mine! “Then, he sent someone to kill our Luna!” I could feel the anger building up in the room and I knew that last statement was going to be enough to get everyone on my side. Even the people who would normally vote against a war wouldn’t be able to do it this time, since our Luna was killed by Sebastian. I didn’t need proof of this. I knew they would believe me because of what I was about to tell them. “When I wouldn’t give him our entire territory, he had me kidnapped.” I pretended to be unable to look at them, but I was slowly
Sebastian’s POVThanks to the fact that Eli had killed Nathaniel, there was nobody anymore to tell me I couldn’t kill the bastard! I couldn’t focus on my pack around me that was being slaughtered by the hybrids. My focus was on Eli, and killing him! If I understood the sire line correctly, as soon as he died, his entire line would die with him! Thanks to his brilliant plan to make them all hybrids! I groaned as he pulled out a chunk of my hair and I turned as fast as I could to face him again. When I noticed he was distracted, I attacked again and this time I tasted blood.It looked as though the arrival of the vampires didn’t change a thing in his mind! He probably thought his pack was strong enough to take on all of us! As he sprinted forward again, all I thought about was that he was the one I wanted to rip to shreds! Bodies were falling all around us as we continued to rip into each other, staining both our coa
Leah’s POVI was so damn excited about bringing Elana home that I felt nauseous the entire time! That combined with my morning sickness made me feel physically green, but I must have hidden it well because, thankfully, nobody asked me if I was okay. We had a picture session at the orphanage as Elana said goodbye to the staff and again as we arrived home. It had been a pretty exciting time just to bring her here, and we walked into the main dining room where the pack was waiting.The food smelled incredible as usual and we made our way around the room introducing everyone to our little girl. She was laughing and my heart sang each time her beautiful laugh rang through the air. It was probably one of the most prized moments of my life. After a little while, Elana started to yawn and I laughed, informing everyone that they were welcome to carry on with the party but that it seemed as though our little guest of honour needed a nap. We t
Beverly’s POVI had been there for a couple of days and the only people I saw were the guard and the girl who brought me food and clothes. I tried asking the guard what they planned on doing with me and who the hell was in charge around here, but he would just shrug and mumble before leaving me locked away in my room again. At night, I could hear whispers in the passages, but I could never make out who it was or what they were saying. I had half expected someone to come in here and interrogate me, but nothing. It was a total communication block and I was slowly losing my mind.I might not be entirely human anymore, but surely, they could allow me out of this room once in a while. They were feeding me so I couldn’t think that they planned on killing me. Whoever the hell they were. I could smell that they were vampires. I’d learned how to tell the difference thanks to the very short time I pretended to like Nathaniel. Yeah
