When I came back, the servers passed out champion and sparkling cider, prepping for Gideon's toast. I make my way to Gideon's side. A server came past and brought me some sparkling cider and Gideon champion. The room dimes a bit more, and there is a spotlight on Gideon and me.
"I would like to thank you all for coming and helping us celebrate this momentous occasion. I was lucky enough to be blessed by the goddess in many ways, but the biggest blessing has come in the form of my second-chance-mate, Amelie Ashwood. As all of you know, she is the eldest daughter of the Ashwood Pack and the Black Hills Pack and sister of the Hill Country Pack. The greatest blessing of all is our soon-to-be explaining family. Please raise your glasses in a toast to my Luna, mate, and mother of my children." Everyone claps and cheers while toasting.
Gideon and I raise our glasses to each other and take a drink. As soon as I smell the cider, I pu

Chapter 55 Gideon "We still don't have any suspects. Does anyone come to mind?” I ask Alpha John and Logan as we sit in my office. Amelie's Luna ceremony is tonight under the crescent moon. We have over 350 guests, and almost all are Alphas and Lunas from all over the US. One of these so-called guests tried to harm my mate and my heir. "It's hard to say, but I don't feel it's one of the bigger packs as most are related to Amelie. They also wouldn't try to grab power like this. I do think whichever pack targeted Celeste 18 years ago is the same pack who tried to harm Amelie and my grandson." John is standing and pacing the length of my office. "I think Tate and that witch of a she-wolf have something to do with this. At least they are part of the plot." Alpha Logan growls as he sits with his arms folded on the sofa. "Logan's right. It only makes sense they are somehow involved. I think Tate tried to get Amelie pregnant, but since

Chapter 56 Gideon "Let me see, she is 26 and looks like she is a Beta's daughter. Her birth pack was Koray." We all look at each other there's no way that is a coincidence. Kory is Alpha Flynn’s pack and John’s cousin. Not to mention the financial power house to all packs through Flynn’s investment firm. To be the Beta’s daughter of a powerful pack came with privileges and gave Nox prestige. This smelled fishy. "Did they fake a Rogue attack too! Look at the dates. It's right after Hope found her mate the same week Amelie almost died in that fight with Tate. If she hadn't gotten away, what were they going to try and do with her!" I slam my fist on my desk, and I hear a cracking noise. "Gideon, calm down. We need to make a clear plan. It's the only way to take them down without repercussions from the Alpha and Elder Council. If we act prematurely, we will be the ones paying the price." John is yelling. I have never heard him yell before. I slump back in

Chapter 57 Amelie "OK, do your worst!" I jokingly say to Celeste's "Glam Squad." "Oh, honey! Stop it. You are going to scare the twins!" Celeste retorts. I look over at my daughters, and they are enjoying a bubble bath. "They look fine to me." "Relax, you are going to crack your mud mask." Sam, the glam squad leader, says. "Yes, ma'am!" I give her a salute. I lean back and try to relax, but I have so much on my mind. Someone tried to harm my baby. Would they try and hurt the twins? Tate and Karen still haven't been found, and I had a group of she-wolves that didn't respect me as their Luna. Along with all my pack duties and changes, I was implementing. Honestly, I don't know if I will ever be able to relax again. I feel two sets of tiny hands grabbing my arms. I look down, and the girls are out of their bath. "Mommy, why do you have green stuff on your face?" Rose asks. "It's called a mud mask. It

Chapter 58 Amelie "Please be seated." He pauses, allowing everyone to sit. "Thank you all for coming to witness my mate Amelie Ashwood's Luna Ceremony. She is my fated second-chance mate blessed to me by the moon goddess. Now she will become the blessing to the Druit Guard Pack and the mother of our next Alpha. We will start the Ceremony." I step to the left of my mother, Celeste, and Hope. I pick up an oak chalice. There is a basin of rainwater in front of them, and they are each holding a flower. Mom steps forward first. "I Anna Bye, Luna of the Black Hills Pack, give the blessing of the Mother Luna. You are a mother to all in your pack." She drops a pink carnation into the basin of rainwater. Then she extends a claw and cuts the palm of her hand. I raise the cup to catch the blood. "I accept the blessing of Mother Luna." I bow to my mother, and she smiles as she steps back. Hope steps forward. "I Hope Ashwood, Luna of

Chapter 59 Gideon "Please welcome Alpha Gideon Alois and Luna Amelie Ashwood." Everyone turns toward the door. I stand as tall as my 6-foot 5-inch frame will allow and pushing my Alpha aura out. My aura is different. Since I am the Alpha of the Druit Guard, I hold more authority. Only Alpha John has more. Tyson takes a deep breath before announcing. "Also welcome the Alpha and Lunas of the Ashwood Pack, Black Hills Pack, and the Hill Country Pack along with their heirs." We all enter the ballroom. I look over at Amelie, and her eyes are still glowing silver. I wonder if this will subside, It doesn't bother me, but it might scare some. I can feel her tension as she holds my arm. I'm glad we have her family behind us. It might make my plan for information gathering slightly more challenging but not impossible. I wanted to pretend we were a family divided or at least at odds, but after the display, the goddess put on that idea went out the

Chapter 60Gideon"Fight!" A young lady came running into the ballroom screaming. Amelie and I both rushed out to the back garden where the young she-wolf directed the fight was happening.As I rushed outside, I found an interesting sight. James, Riley, and Harlow are fighting off seven other Alpha and Beta Heirs. Three of them were already on the ground reeling in pain. It's a three-on-four-fight when I see the glint of metal in one of their hands as he charges for James. Ulv took over before I could react and leaped from the stairs and tackled the kid to the ground."That's enough!" Amelie screamed and pushed all her new Luna aura out. All the teens stopped and submitted on the spot. I had to fight, not bowing in submission.By now, all the parents were outside. "Take your children to bed. We will discuss this with each of you in the morning." I commanded. No one questioned me. The teens and their parents quickly left for their room

Chapter 61Gideon~Crack~ This Is the sound I hear as I slam my fist down on my desk. "Nothing! We have nothing! Just bits and pieces of theories, no evidence, no witnesses!" I yell out as I throw my laptop across my office."You know what we need?" Ulv breaks my tirade."What! Not your bullshit, that's for sure." I snarl at my wolf. I am in no mood."To kick someone's ass! Let's go to the training grounds and spare a bit." I can feel his excitement and mine melding together. "Maybe a run as well, and if we still have some tension left, maybe our beautiful Luna will soothe us." Ulv's idea sounds like the perfect way to relieve my stress and tension."My friend, those are all excellent ideas." The scowl on my face is replaced with a devilish grin as I leave my office and head down to the training grounds. I can't help but think about what has pushed me into this horrible mood.It's been two weeks since Amelie's Luna Cerem

Chapter 62 Amelie "Am, baby. I have to go to New York tonight. Do you want to meet me in our room so I can pack?" Gideon bond-linked me. If he was going to New York, that means he's going to meet with my cousin Alpha Kory. "OK, I'm coming with you. I'll meet you in our room. I'm in the playroom right now." I stand up. "Am, you need to stay here where it's the safest." Gideon is nicely trying to give me orders, not happening. "I'll meet you in our room. I'm not discussing this over bond-link." I cut the connection. "Shay, Jorden, can you watch the girls for a bit. I need to meet up with Gideon." I'm sure Tyson and Marcus will tell them what's going on. I need to handle my own mate right now. I walk out the door and head down the hall to our bedroom. I, of course, beat Gideon to our room. While I wait for him, I pull out both of our suitcases and start sorting through my clothes. So much doesn't fit already. Werewolf pregnancy is
