April was here, and I watched as Kaya rolled over, her stomach growing daily. She had a sizable baby bump. She was halfway through her pregnancy, and I felt good about it. Howi had not attacked yet. It was peaceful. The snow had stopped, and everything seemed to be going well. Kimi would be remaining with us. Which I was happy about. Kaya wanted her around to be there for the birth. Her mother also wanted to come, but she had yet to tell us if she was coming.Just then, I got a mind link. "Alpha, we have wolves wanting to cross the border." I sat straight up in the bed. Was this it? No, it couldn't be. Howi would not ask to cross the border. "Who is it?" "I don't know. They are in their wolf form; we can't speak. They didn't cross over the boundary but are standing close to it. Not attacking or anything." "Hang on, I am on my way." I gave Kaya, who was still sound asleep, a kiss. She slept a lot lately.I mind-linked Mark, telling him to hurry up and come with me.Related chapters

Kaya I felt Cade move into his spot next to me in the bed. I turned over to face him. He looked worried. I mind-linked him. "Cade, what happened." "Charlie is here." "What?" "Howi's pack attacked him. There were only five of them who survived. He joined our pack and his four other wolves. They are all now shadow pack." I lay there at him, looking horrified, no doubt. I didn't understand why Howi would go after them. They had nothing to gain by going after them. Charlie's pack was tiny. It's smaller than the Crescent Moon Pack. The whole thing seemed strange. "Why would he join us? He is an alpha." I mind-linked. "I don't know; he probably was ashamed he let it happen. He didn't think he could build the pack back up. When I was younger, and most of us were slaughtered, we had more than five of us survive, but I don't know how he could rebuild with only five people." I didn't even know what to say. I was just horrified that this had happened. "We are meeting once they get so

CadeI sat there in the office with both Mark and Kaya. Charlie would be here any minute. Then we would have a better idea of what was happening or, at the very least, know what happened to his pack that no longer existed. Kaya was sitting down, her feet up on the little table. Her legs had swollen up again. She had been on them too much. I was honestly worried about the preeclampsia. We were able to go to the doctor earlier as Charlie and the rest of his group had slept most of the day. The doctor was concerned that her blood pressure was so high. He said the swelling would worsen and that she needed to pull back more. She was not happy with this news. But I knew she would do what she could to improve the situation. No one she had grown up with had this much swelling so early in their pregnancy, and though she tried to act like she was not worried, I could see past that. I knew she was more concerned than she let on. The doctor said the swelling would get worse and pr

KayaI was so fucking uncomfortable. Everything felt stiff. But I tried not to focus on it. I needed to focus on what Charlie was about to tell us. I needed to know what happened to his pack and why only five of them survived. It could help Shadow Pack when Howi came for us. I had doubted he would even attack since it had been months since Jack died, and he had remained silent. We had not heard anything, so I assumed Cade's worries were just fictional, but knowing that he went after Charlie's pack, I was now worried. Charlie looked right at me, and then he began to speak. "I was sound asleep when I heard the screams. I came running out of the packhouse. I don't know why those guarding the border never alerted me, but they didn't. I don't know if silver was used or they just died before they could have told me. My beta had also heard the screams, so both of us ran out to see what was going on. We were engaged by hundreds. Both of us fought and fought. So many surrounded us

CadeA long silence fell once Charlie had left my office. I looked at Kaya, who still had her legs down. I mind-linked her. "Put your feet back up." She didn't argue and did as I told her to. I couldn't help but wonder what the stress of all this was doing to her body. She was already struggling, and now she had more to worry about. I should have had her sit out of the meeting. But she was the Luna of Shadow Pack and deserved to be here. No matter the fact, I wanted her to remain stress-free for the remainder of her pregnancy. Mark broke the uncomfortable silence. "That was bad." He signed as he talked. Kaya nodded at his comment. "Well, at least we now know Howi has taken over Jack's Pack," Mark said. "Well, we now know he has the numbers to overrun us. But many things we need to know are still up in the air. Like how did he make it so border patrol could not link." Kaya signed. "It had to be silver. There is no other explanation. They would have alerted someone over the m

KayaCade and I decided it would be best to get the baby's stuff early. According to the doctor, and I had to agree with him, I needed to stay off my feet as much as possible. So, Cade and I were in the car on our way to the city to get some things. Apparently, there was a lot to get for babies in the South. Where I was from, it was hand-made clothes and a form of a carrier to carry them when you did work. That consisted of a board and a lot of bedding to keep warm. But Helen and some of the other women in the pack had told me there were many other things, like bottles and better carriers for children. Not to mention nursery stuff. I didn't know much about things like that. I also know they used disposable diapers here, which excited me. In the North, all nappies had to be washed and reused, and honestly, growing up with younger siblings, I had to wash some of those, and I hated it. Now, I was super excited I got to skip that part. So Cade said we would go to the city.

KayaWe sat down with our food at a picnic table. The weather was great as it was spring and had not gotten too hot yet. It was warmer than anything I had ever been in, but it was not bad. We ate without talking, and I sipped on my smoothie. Once we finished, Cade looked at me. He seemed nervous all of a sudden. "What is it?" I signed. "Kaya, I don't know how to say this, but you must leave Shadow Pack." I nearly spit my drink out. "What do you mean?" I signed. "Kaya, I can't have you around the fighting, and if we have to flee to the north, you can't make the trip." I sat there at him dumbstruck. I then threw my head back and laughed. He must be out of his mind if he thought I would do any of that. I would remain by his side. It was my job as his mate. I would not be parted from him. I never knew how my brother did it when he came down south. It was always for a few days, but even then, I knew he missed his mate. When my dad did it before him my mother would be so sad and

KayaOnce I felt all cried out, I looked up at Cade, who looked just as crestfallen at our impending separation. "Cade." I mind-linked him. "What is it love?" "You also have to send away those who don't have wolves. They can not defend themselves. Not to mention the mothers who had their babies in February." The funny thing about the wolves is we only went into heat once a year and all the females in a pack synced up with each other and for Shadow Pack that was back in July. I was currently the only one pregnant in our pack. Kimi left to spend her heat alone at the beginning of the month. That is when I would have gone into mine, but I had been drugged and went in early. I continued to mind-link him. "Those who can't fight and who have babies still nursing need to be placed somewhere safe. Nieva will take them in. I am sure all of them will be able to fly or drive there. Saka and Len with them. The pack has come to trust them. They will help get them there and adjust to lif

Cade I sat at the head table, my little mate beside me. She had been silent the whole car ride home. All the stuff we bought would be going with her just in case she had our baby while war waged on. I had a call with Nieva later after dinner. Kaya was sure she would accept Shadow Pack seeking refuge there. I had to admit it was a massive blow to my ego that I, was an alpha, was having to send away some of my pack because I was sure I could protect them. But my ego would have to handle it. I would not, under any circumstances, let another massacre happen to this pack. We had barely survived the last one. I would not be in Charlie's position. I looked up from my table, but he was not around. Go figure, he had missed all the meals in the packhouse since he had come here. I figured it was due to being ashamed. I understood why he was. I would feel the same way if I had been in his position. But I don't know what he could have done to change what happened. Kaya's hand rest
