Emma POV It was finally time for the next blue moon ceremony where she would ask the Moon Goddess to let Dylan be the Alpha of the Shadow Moon pack. So much had been planned for today, it was going to be just a big party. One that she really wasn’t in the mood for. She had been feeling a bit under the weather the past few days, she had been nauseous and tired all the time. She had gone to the doctor this morning and they took some blood to run tests. The doctor said that he should have the results by the end of the day. Logan had bought her dresses to wear for each ceremony, but she just wasn’t up to getting dressed up. She decided she would just wear regular clothes, something she would be comfortable in. She just didn’t have the energy to care about it. She was sure that the Moon Goddess wouldn’t care what she was wearing tonight. She was nervous about having the whole pack in one place tonight. If someone was going to attack, tonight would be the perfect opportunity. She wante
Emma POVThe phone hit the floor as it slipped out of her hand. No. She thought. Not yet.She had been finally sleeping peacefully when the phone ringing woke her up. It was the nurse from the doctor’s office letting her know the results from
Emma POV They stood under the moonlight, surrounded by their family, waiting for the blue moon to reach its highest peak. Once it did, she would make her plea to the Moon Goddess. It was more important now than ever for this to work. She needed the Moon Goddess to let Dylan have her Alpha. They were supposed to shift after they prayed, but now that she is pregnant, it wouldn’t be safe for her to shift. They would stay in their human form for the entire ceremony, and she hoped that it would be enough. It was almost time, just a few more minutes. She could feel the energy from the moon, she couldn’t explain how, but she felt it. Emma took Dylan’s hands in hers and they looked up at the moon. It was time. Moon Goddess, hear our prayer. Please let Dylan have my Alpha so he can be the Alpha of Shadow Moon so I can be Luna of Silver Stone. You mated me with Logan for a reason, but I cannot be Alpha of Shadow Moon and Luna of Silver Stone. And now we are going to have a baby, so pleas
Logan POV He stood there, looking at the body of the prisoner, lying in a pool of his own blood. He didn’t understand why this wolf would take his own life. The guards told him that the guy had clawed his own throat out and by the time they had gotten into the cell, it was too late, he was already losing too much blood. “Alpha, what do you want us to do with the body?” one of the guards asked. “What for nightfall and take it in the woods and burn it.” Logan answered. “Yes Alpha.” the guard replied. “Make sure nobody sees you. We need to keep this quiet.” Logan told the guard before turning and walking out of the basement. The next few hours weren’t going to be pleasant. If Emma was right, and this wolf was indeed a Beta or a Gamma, then his Alpha will be looking for him. He needed to call the other packs and tell them what has happened. He also needed to call Alpha Lucian. These were not conversations that he was looking forward to. The calls to Blood River, Red Moon, and
Emma POV The visit with Morgan resulted in many tears being shed. As soon as the cry fest started, as Nathan called it, he disappeared. When he finally got brave enough to come back and face two severely hormonal pregnant women, he brought ice cream. They sat there eating ice cream and talked. She forgot how good it felt to hang out with Morgan and just talk. She wasn’t ready to go home yet, she didn’t want to hear the bad news that Logan was going to tell her. Part of her just wanted to tell him not to tell her, but she knew that whatever it was, no matter how bad, it was important enough Logan thought she needed to know. “Emma, are you ready to go?” Nathan asked. “Do I have to?” Emma asked. Nathan laughed. “Yeah, they will be here soon.” They said their goodbyes and Nathan walked her home. She sat on the end of the bed and listened to Logan tell her everything he and Alpha Lucian had talked about. She was stunned. She was having a hard time wrapping her mind around this
Emma POV They all spent the next few months training and doing everything they could to prepare for the war they knew was coming. Diane had been right about feeling better once she got into her second trimester. Nineteen weeks pregnant, she was almost halfway through her pregnancy. No more nausea and the past few weeks she actually had a surge of energy. She even enjoyed the Luna ceremony. Diane was true to her word, she didn’t have to do anything except show up. She had worn the dress that Logan had gotten for her, although they had to get it let out some to accommodate for her growing baby bump. She had loved the color of it. It was pale purple and was made of satin. It felt so soft against her skin. She was surprised at how much fun she had. She didn’t even mind everyone wanting to touch her stomach. It made her happy to see everyone so happy for her and Logan. Every one of these people was now officially her responsibility, she was officially their Luna, and she would be damned
Emma POV Emma was right about Evelyn, she was the other woman from her vision. Now that they were all there, she felt a lot better. She could finally relax a little bit. For the first time in a long time, she was looking forward to the future without the threat of losing everyone she cared about hanging over her head. Training continued, Zara joining them. She watched Zara spar with Jackson, who was put on his ass for the third time by Zara. Emma was both shocked and impressed. She still hadn’t managed to land a single blow on him and here Zara was, putting him on his ass. She wouldn’t admit this to anyone, but she was exhilarated watching him being knocked down, especially after all the times he has put her on her ass. Logan and Lucian had been holed up in his office the past few days, trying to come up with a game plan. They wanted to have an impenetrable defensive and a killer offense, literally. They knew no matter how well they could plan it, they would never be impenetrable.
Emma POV Emma hoped that Zara would take her words into consideration and at least give Alpha Lucian a chance and not reject him right away. She has been through enough and deserves to be happy. She couldn’t imagine the weight on her shoulders right now. When she found Logan, it wasn’t a hard decision for her to make. Rejecting him was out of the question for her, he was her way out, her freedom. Along the way she fell so deeply in love with him, she couldn’t imagine having a life without him. She just hoped Zara got that chance too. She absentmindedly put her hand on her growing baby bump. She felt the baby move. “Logan!!” she yelled excitedly. “What? What’s wrong?” he said in a panic. “Nothing is wrong. I finally felt the baby move!” she exclaimed. Logan fell to his knees and placed his hands on her stomach, grinning from ear to ear. Emma placed her hand on Logan’s head. She couldn’t wait to meet their son. A vision floated through her mind. She was sitting outside in a lawn
