PenelopeTwo months later.It took a lot of planning and discussion, but the girls and I decided to open a bakery and a floral shop that will be next to one another. Both businesses should do well since it's not exclusive to the pack grounds and is out among the humans as well.We aren't overwhelmed by having two businesses because the rest of the women that Xavier has purchased over the years have joined us, so each business has at least 10 women working.The businesses are doing great and it is great seeing all the women happy and fulfilled. In fact, it makes me feel fulfilled as well. I'm excited about the next auction so we can rescue more girls. Donovan told me the next auction will be the first one that he has visited in over 5 years and that he's excited knowing that we will be giving everyone we purchase their freedom.Donovan and I are getting into a good flow of things. Iโm happy with him. I never wouldโve imagined that things would be as good as they are. Heโs still stressed

PenelopeThe car ride to the pharmacy is uncomfortable. I know I shouldn't feel weird with Violet, but I do. Especially with this topic! She's still so fragile... how will she react if I am pregnant?Once we pull up to the store, I say, โIโll go in and get a test since you insist. Iโll be out in a few minutes.โโYou donโt want me to come with you?โ She asks and I shake my head no, โIโm fine, Vi. Itโs just peeing on a stick, plus I know that Iโm not pregnant.โShe rolls her eyes at me, not believing a single word I say, and responds, โWeโll see about that.โI breathe out as I get out of the car. Honestly, Iโm scared sheโs right.Donovan and I havenโt been very careful when weโve been intimate. We havenโt really talked about kids. I donโt know when he wants them or even if he wants them. The unknown makes this whole thing terrifying.On top of that, with everything Violet is going through and the threat of a battle hanging over our headsโฆ I canโt be pregnant.

DonovanToday seemed like a normal day. Nothing new has gone on and we're organizing some stuff about the businesses we have in town. Then Violet rushes into my office. I look up at her, startled by her barging in because it is so unlike her. Jack sets down the file he was working on and walks to her sensing her distress as he asks, โHey, are you okay?โShe nods, โIโm fine.โ She looks over at me and says, โPenelope is sick. I just thought youโd want to know.โPenelope? Sick? Werewolves don't get sick.My eyebrows furrow and I ask, โWhat do you mean?โViolet says, โSheโs been throwing up all morning. I had to force her to come here instead of staying at the bakery. Speaking of which, I need to let Aubrey know that she needs to wrap up payroll, since Penelope is unavailable.โI look at Jack and before I even speak he says, โGo, I can handle any calls we get.โI nod my head and rush out of the room. Itโs rare for werewolves to be sick. We have a good immune system, so knowing that Penelop

PenelopeOne thing I admire about Donovan is that he is great at soothing my worries. Butโฆ still, I donโt know if Iโm cut out for this whole โparentingโ thing.Donovan holds my hand and leads me to the bed. We lie down and get comfortable in one anotherโs arms. He tells me, โI understand your concerns, Pen. I donโt know how things were for you at the academy, but it doesnโt matter. Youโve got me on your side and we have so many friends and can always hire help if we need it.โI nod my head, โYeah, thatโs true, I guess.โHe rubs his hand up and down my arm and asks, โHow was life at the academy? You never really talk about it.โI breathe out as I think back on everything. I say, โI think I had a different experience than most people do. I was very guarded. I was only allowed to be around the people who were teaching me something. Occasionally, they would allow me to be around people my age. Honestly, I think thatโs just because they didnโt want me to be socially awkward. Everything I di

He clinks his glass against mine and says, โTo you, my love.โMy eyebrows knit together as I ask, โWhat are you going on about?โHe chuckles deeply, and the sound makes goosebumps appear on my skin. After two years together, Iโm still just as smitten with him as I was the first day we found each other. Jack shrugs his shoulders and says, โI know how hard things have been for you lately. For both of us, actuallyโฆ I just want to take this moment to appreciate one another.โI grin as I clink my glass against his and we both take a sip of our drinks. Of course, the moment is short though. Itโs hard to ever have a second to yourself in the pack house.Penelope and Donovan come down the stairs and Penelope walks straight over to me and says, โI need to talk to you, Vi.โI raise an eyebrow as I ask, โWhatโs going on?โTears well up in her eyes and she says, โIโm so sorry,

DonovanAnger radiates inside of me and my wolf is hungry for the respect he feels he deserves as Alpha. I think a small part of me expected that Xavier would apologize for his behavior and walk away. All I know is, I didnโt expect the reaction he had.He laughs at me.My fists ball up in anger and Xavier stumbles as he walks around the room and says, โYou already took away my livelihood, you took away my title, and now youโre going to take away the right I have to be a pack member?โI raise an eyebrow and respond, โBeing a pack member is not a right. Itโs a privilege. Anyone who speaks poorly, behaves badly, or anything has the risk of being cast out. Iโve been lenient with you long enough, Xavier.โHe shakes his head and says, โI thought you were a friend, Donny.โ I snarl when he mentions the nickname that Iโve only allowed Violet to call me all these years.He continues on as if he didnโt notice my displeasure, โBut since youโre obviously not my friend- then I guess I should tell yo

I need her to be protected. Iโll do anything you want.โHe nods his head as he turns and his eyes meet mine. The corner of his mouth twitches up as he sees me and he says, โThank you, Iโll see you tomorrow.โHe hangs up the phone and I ask with an eyebrow raised, โWho was that?โHe gives me an uncomfortable smile as he says, โHer name is Cora, and I asked her to come here to help us.โHeโs trying not to tell me something.

PenelopeTrue to her word, Cora showed up the next day.She was a sweet woman that I think is probably in her mid-fifties. She did a protection spell over me and only stayed for a single day. Donovan and Violet liked being around her and when she left, Violet made a comment about how Cora doesnโt like being in the same place long. She claims that itโs dangerous.I mean, I know sheโs a witch, but I donโt understand what the danger is. Violet and Donovan donโt know either.But after Cora doing the spell on me, it seemed to calm Donovan down. He knows that the baby and I have an extra layer of protection that we wouldnโt otherwise have.Since Cora coming, everything has been pretty normal. Except that Donovan has been working hard to change some things so that Xavier wouldnโt know our strategies anymore.But, itโs been two weeks since Xavier was kicked out and since we found out that weโre pregnant.

15 years since Violet was born. Penelope The years have been good to us. I have seen so much of the world and felt more free than I ever could've imagined. It's just the three of us, we never had another kid. We talked about it... more than once, but ultimately we were fearful of how it could affect our safety. Nothing was worth the chance of putting Violet in even more danger than she already is. I lie in bed with Donovan snuggled up beside me. Uneasiness churns in my stomach and I know that something is going on that we don't know yet. Call it my 6th sense or mother's intuition, I just know something's off. Donovan kisses my head and mumbles, "Turn off your thoughts, Pen. Everything is fine."I let out a breath, hoping that he's right. He pushes himself up and looks me in the eye as he asks, "We're fine, we're safe, we'll be at Cora's in the morning."We haven't seen Cora for over 6 months now. We've been in Asia for the last half of the year and although we have enjoyed our tra

Five years later.PenelopeI sit across from Amelia at the table as we each sip on our coffee and watch our girls play together. A few months after I had Violet, Amelia had a little girl that they named Magnolia. It's fun watching our daughters play together, but the interesting thing is how similar they look to me and Amelia.Violet looks almost exactly like me except that her hair was curly like her dad's and her blue eyes had a green circle around the pupil. Magnolia looks just like Amelia, with her blonde hair and jade green eyes. The two of them together like this makes me wonder how mine and Amelia's childhood could've been different if our mom hadn't put me in the Academy and if our dad hadn't been a monster.Amelia brings the cup to her lips before setting it down and asking, "So, where are you headed this time?"Donovan, Violet, and I are constantly moving around.

PenelopeI hate waiting. I know that Cora and Donovan are both safe and they are working out a way to get him home, but itโs hard not to feel anxious about the entire thing. Itโs been five days. Itโs weird getting used to taking care of a newborn and going through this healing process on my own. But because Iโm a werewolf, I heal faster than a human would, so I mean, thatโs a good thing.Itโs harder getting used to take care of a baby. Iโve never been around them much so tending to all of her needs all of the time is very taxing, physically, mentally, and emotionally!

Xavier is strong, and he is growing more powerful. He brought me back to the Moon Stone pack lands and I know now that he plans to rebuild here and to become an Alpha. But right now, there are days that go by that no one is coming to check on me. Iโm learning their patterns and when theyโre vulnerable. I need to get home and I would do anything to make sure that I can escape Xavierโs clutches.When I leave here, I canโt go straight to Coraโs, even though I want to see Penelope more than anything in the world. No, I need to go somewhere else. Perhaps to the Renegade Pack. I need to make sure that there is no tracker on me so that I donโt put Penelope and our daughter in danger.I think one of the big reasons that Xavier isnโt worried about me being watched at all times is because he already has a plan in motion.

Life feels like it has lost all meaning without Donovan around.I feel like my baby bump doubled and size and like Violet is moving around more. I think that sheโs antsy because she knows that her daddy isnโt home. Or maybe Iโm crazy and this is normal for this point in a pregnancy.Cora caters to me constantly. Honestly, sheโs going a bit overboard and Iโve tried to get her to settle down, but I think that the guilt is eating her alive and sheโs doing the best that she can to get through everything. I still have roughly a month left to get through this pregnancy. That means that Donovan has no help coming for him for over a month. Heโll have to figure out how to escape alone or heโll have to hold on until I get there.Cora sets a cup of tea down beside me, and she watches me.

Theyโre slow, they talk a lot, they are never quiet enough to listen to their surroundings to see if a threat could be present, and they leave their post without waiting for someone to take their place.
