Liam’s POV The rest of the week has been consumed by settling more pack queries. Emma stayed busy helping mom in the med tent. Merging the packs hasn’t been the smoothest transition but I would say it’s going fairly smooth. “Dan, did Erik decide on an official date for the summit?”. Dan was busy scanning the list of missing pack members. “Oh, yeah. Sorry. He wants us there Tuesday if possible”. He is clearly busy with pack matters, but 4 days to plan our trip is cutting it a little tight, considering how busy everyone is. He senses my annoyance when he apologizes for the short time frame. “I don’t understand why we have to go to him, Dan. Why can’t we have a more central location, one for the majority of the packs”. He just nods in agreement and shrugs. “Where is mate Liam?”. Good question, Kalen. It has been all morning since I’ve seen her. Emma’s POV Grace has taken me in as her protege. I didn’t have much medical knowledge but I was able to help ke
It has been a long day so I suggest we have dinner brought to our suite. Emma was more than agreeable except she did have to stop for her cocoa. “I wonder what you’ll crave when you’re pregnant”. I meant to think that internally but it sort of slipped out. “When I’m pregnant? Is this something you’re planning on soon?”. She just looked at me confused. It dawned on me, “umm baby, do you know how babies are made?”. I deserved the slap she gave me on the chest. “Of course I know how they’re made”. I look at her and pause, wait a second.. “Do you know how they’re prevented?”. She gave me a look of confusion, “you mean, not having sex?”. Oh boy. Maybe Grace needs to have ‘the talk’ with her. “Well baby, when two people have a lot of sex like we do and they don’t use protection or birth control, pregnancy is a possibility”. I could see the wheels turning, “what is protection?”. Oh shit. Does this mean she doesn’t want a pup? Or does this mean her experiences before were unp
Emma’s POV I wake up from a very peaceful sleep by permeating nausea. I have to race to the bathroom to make it to the toilet in time, retching up last night’s dinner. “Baby, are you ok?” Liam flicks on the bathroom light. “Ugh.. french fries are not good coming back up”. He pulls my hair back and is gently rubbing my back until another wave hits and hits hard, oh god… there goes the cocoa. I sit by the toilet until I am positive I have nothing left in me. “Do you feel sick Liam? Was it something I ate?”. He squats down behind me and leans me gently back into his chest. “No baby, I feel okay”. He puts his hand on my forehead, “you do feel a little warm. You’re staying in bed today”. He guides me to the living room sofa and wraps me in a fluffy blanket. “Hold tight my love, I’m going to get you some seltzer water”. God, this nausea is intense. “Mor, how are you feeling?”. I can feel her crawling forward, “I don’t feel fantastic. What did you eat?”. Were we poison
Fred’s POV Incoming text… “what day is their alpha leaving town?”. I may have let slip that Liam was leaving town, hence leaving his Luna alone. As I look at my bandaged arm, I feel a pang of guilt. No one has ever been that nice to me, especially not a Luna. I’ve never really belonged anywhere. My wolf Beau chimes in, “stop feeling sorry for yourself. You told us this was the last job so we can get out of this line of work once and for all”. Beau turns his eye to my side jobs. Ever since our mate died, we’ve been somewhat depressed but needed money. We sort of got looped into this work. Beau agreed to do it on one condition, that we were only involved in the catching part but nothing further. We don’t exactly like this job and I have started to feel more like a member in Dan’s pack. He’s been so good to us, even though we lied from the get-go. “Yes Beau, as promised, last job”. Part of me wanted to blow the whole thing off. Luna has been nothing but nice to me
We managed to get through three Disney movies before I start yawning uncontrollably. I still hadn’t eaten anything today but actually heard my stomach rumble. I’m about to go check our kitchen for a snack when I hear the doorbell. Opening it, it’s an omega with a tray including two bowls and some chunks of bread. “Mmm this smells yummy, thank you!”. She smiled and left. I’m slightly terrified I’ll drop this but manage to make it to the coffee table with it. Liam has been in the bathroom, “oh no way. Mom made chicken noodle”. I sniff the air, “is that what this is? It smells amazing”. Oh and it is delicious. Apparently Grace makes homemade soups that are to die for. My tummy is satisfied. Being slightly scared it might come up if I lay down, I decided to take a bubble bath. Apparently Liam read my mind because he had already started it for me, complete with candles around the tub. He walks up behind me and puts his arms around me. “You soak for a bit. I’m gonna go check in
Entering the apartment, it’s entirely too quiet in here. The bathroom door is still closed. Opening the door, it stops part way with a thud. SHIT! I squeeze through the opening and our mate is passed out on the floor in her towel. I drop to my knees as fast as I can muster and turn her over. She is still breathing. Linking mom, “get up here now and bring your bag”. Grace is there within seconds it seems. “Her blood pressure is extremely low Liam, I need to start an IV”. Carrying our unconscious mate to the bed, mom runs down the hall and back with her IV supplies. Starting the IV doesn’t even stir Emma. “Mom?”. She just breaths and smiles at me, “son, take a deep breath… it’s going to be fine”. She’s right, I am starting to feel panicked. I grab her hand, holding it to my mouth. I feel a finger twitch and then another. “Baby, Emma… wake up sweet heart”. I gently touch her cheek. “What happened?”, she musters. Just as she’s processing her surroundings, she panics at t
I made it through the night with no more episodes of fainting. Grace decided to leave the IV in my arm even after the fluid was done which I wasn’t thrilled about. Something about quicker access if I need more medications. Whatever medication she gave me for my nausea last night, knocked me out hard! I turn over to the clock on the bedside, it’s already 9 a.m. Feeling beside me, Liam isn’t in bed so I check my phone, “baby, I’m in the office getting ready for our trip. Text me when you wake up”. After letting him know I’m awake, I question trying to walk after yesterday’s shenanigans. Before I commit, “Mor, you feeling better?”. She seems more chipper, “sure am… those meds did the trick”. I feel so much better about walking, knowing my wolf is better also. Something about clumsy feet and tripping hazards. As I start heading for the bathroom, Liam comes running over. “Baby, you should’ve waited for me. What if you fainted again?”. “Yeah well, what if I had wet the
*TRIGGER: Chapter may contain some trigger material for some* Emma’s POV Liam is the most thoughtful and generous lover. Not just a lover, but man. I have never known one to be so kind and caring with a woman. I laid in a trance as I slowly traced circles on his chest. I can tell he likes it because he’s purring slightly. “Liam, have you ever been with another woman?”. I have no idea why I asked that. In truth, if he has I don’t want to know. He props himself up, confused. “No, I haven’t. Is it apparent?”. Oh god, he thinks I’m comparing him. “Oh my goddess, no! That came out so wrong. I didn’t even mean for that to come out”. I pull my hands over my face to hide my guilt and embarrassment. He gently grabs my hands, exposing my face. “I’m sorry I asked that Liam”. He moves to the headboard and brings me with him so he can cuddle me. “Emma, no question is off limits. You can ask me anything, always. I will never lie to you and never do anything to hurt you. Why
