JulieWhen the knock sounded on my door, I got up from the bed surprised. Geraldine had only left a few minutes earlier and I didn't believe it would be so quick to convince Donald that the baby was his'. A thought came into my mind about whether he didn't believe her and had come to shout at me, but the thought dissipated from my head when the sound came again. I shrugged and moved forward to open the door, shocked to see Donald's uncle standing there.There was an unreadable expression on his face and I frowned at him in response. Ever since I had come into the pack, we had never met officially and the only memory I had of him was when he was against the elders making me a member of the Villeyfield Pack. This fueled my anger at him as that had left a nasty impression of him in my mind. I wasn't interested in whatever he had to say, as I suspected it wouldn't be good.I looked at him for a few seconds and when he wasn't forthcoming with any words, I hissed and shook my head. He was m

JulieI heard when the clock chimed the beginning of another hour. It was the only sound I heard for seconds, until the birds continued their chirping noises and I groaned. Feeling ill luck, I tossed over on the bed, trying to get my eyes to finally shut and fall asleep. However, I knew there would be no success there as I had been wide awake for close to three hours. It certainly wasn't normal, given my current state but it couldn't be helped.I was feeling restless, and I instinctively knew I wouldn't be able to sleep. Not when there was so much bothering me. Tossing once more on he bed, I decided to get out of the bed and I put on my dressing gown as well as a pair of flip flops as I moved to stare out the window. Once upon a time, it would have scared me to look into the darkness but now, I basked in it and it helped me think.As I listened to the croaking noises of the frogs down below, I tried to put my thoughts in order. Thinking too much, especially without success, could put

 JulieI smiled at my reflection in the mirror, running my hands through my hair. For the first time, I felt as confident as I used to be. I felt powerful once again and I took in a deep breath. I was about to go and take my rightful place in Villeyfield pack, and I didn't need to be scared. If all went as Donald's uncle said, I would be walking away from the meeting with the Alpha position. It was thrilling to think of how everyone's faces would be when it happeneded, especially Donald.I rubbed my belly bump and tried to feel it through the layers of clothes I had put on. Even though I had tricks up my sleeve, I wasn't ready to show the pack elders that I was pregnant. That would raise a lot of questions, and I wasn't ready to answer them. The only thing on my mind was taking over Villeyfield Pack and leaving Donald with nothing. After all, that was the same thing his family did to me so many years ago.With that in mind, I stepped out of my room

 JulieImmediately the men said what they needed from me, I couldn't help but break into a smile. I had been thinking that they would ask a difficult task from me, one I wouldn't be able to achieve. Donald's uncle had informed me that there would be a condition before they would allow me to be the Alpha, but he didn't know what it would be. This was the reason I began to smile when they said that all they needed was a mate.A part of me thought that the pack elders were very funny and not very wise, because I could easily go out and look for someone that would be my mate and present to them. After all, that was the same thing that Donald did and none of the said anything. However, I wasn't going to be like him and besides, I didn't have the energy to run around like that. Not when I already had a mate, someone who was sitting right in front of me.Donald. I spared a look at him and our eyes met, his flashing dangerously with different emotions. I kn

 DonaldIf a pin had fallen in the meeting room at that moment, everyone in Villeyfield Pack would have heard it. The silence in the room hung thick like heavy curtains draped over a dark room. Everyone stared at one another with a look of surprise and anger filling their faces. It was like Julie's words had put a stop to everything, and the only thing ringing in our heads was why she would ask for something like that. Though her request didn't surprise me, the intent did.Her words simply meant that she was always after freeing her pack members, and if the elders had made her Alpha, that would have been the first thing she did. It sounded ridiculous to me that she would not only want the other rogues to be released, but also for them to be made members of the pack. It was a far stretch to me, and I honestly didn't think the pack elders would agree to it.However, to my greatest surprise and mild annoyance, they began to nod their heads. They looked
