I stood in front of the mirror and lifted my shirt up to reveal my barely there bump. It was crazy to think that I was expecting my first child with Princeton. I was only 4 months along so far but since it's a werewolf baby with Beta blood running through its veins, the baby was growing fast. Princeton and I announced my pregnancy two months ago and the pack have been thrilled with the news, well all but one. Rachel. She was in love with Princeton and she hated the idea that I was his mate and that I was carrying his child. She's done everything she could think of to get me to have a miscarriage. She believes that if I lost the baby, that Princeton will leave me and there's always a part of me that fears that he's only worth me because of the baby and because of the bond. I know he's told me countless times that he's still chose me if we weren't mates even if it would go against all natural laws. "When do you think the baby will start moving?" I jumped at the sound of Princeton's voi

Two weeks. That's how long it's been since Jericho fell into a coma. Two weeks of constantly wondering if he'll wake up and hoping that he'll wake up. Two weeks of watching the heart monitor beep and the ventilator pump air into his lungs. Two weeks of watching his chest rise and fall with each pump of air. Two weeks of watching his eyes closed with no signs of opening. Two weeks of knowing that the person who donated his heart was a fallen soldier who died during combat. Two weeks of knowing the family he left behind. In those two weeks, Princeton and I have become great friends with Staff Sargent Eric Ramos, a 21 year old energetic and talented man with a heart of gold that always put those he cares for before his own needs. His fiancée, a beautiful young girl with platinum blond hair and hazel green eyes told us about Eric and the way he was before and after the army.Elizabeth, Eric's fiancée was five months pregnant with their second child when news struck about his death. I had

We left the infirmary after Dr. Mel checked Jericho to make sure how his body was reacting to the new heart and after getting the all clear, we headed back to the main house only to stop short when we saw a familiar car driving up the driveway. I looked at Princeton to see his face blank meaning he was communicating with the the pack to let them know there was a human coming up the drive and to be careful to not shift in front of her. Lucas and Caleb soon came out to greet us and stood beside us as we waited for Elizabeth's black Range Rover drove up the dirt path before parking in the driveway next to Princeton's car and getting out once she had turned the engine off"Why is she here?" Princeton asked looking at the four of us but we shook our heads "We didn't invite her" his parents said "Neither did I. Hell I didn't ever tell her our address or where we lived" I said with confusion in my voice. And from the looks of it, they were equally confused only to let out a growl when they

Once we had all left the office and were downstairs, Princeton, Alexa and Marc joined the others outside in the yard while Ellie and I went to the living room to speak. Her son, Elijah quickly matched onto her legs when we entered making her chuckle "Sorry for taking to long, sweetie" she said picking him up before placing him on her lap once she sat down "How have you been doing Ellie?" I asked as I placed a hand on my belly felling the baby move which had me smiling"Moving?" She asked with a smile and I nodded, "She moves a lot as well," her hand placed on her stomach a sad smile taking over her face as she remembers her fiancé not being present when their daughter is born."I keep telling Princeton that our son is going to be a handful when he's older since he moves so much and doesn't let me rest for a second" I said rubbing my belly making her hum"That's what I told Erick when I was pregnant with Elijah. He moved a lot as well and he's always on the move. Never staying in one

"Hey" I looked up at the kind of Ellie's voice to find her standing in the doorway and I smiled waving her in"Hey," I greets her back as she walked in and closed the door behind her before taking a seat on the small loveseat placed by the bed for when I get tired of being in bed all the time, "What's up?""Came to see how you were doing since being out in bed rest" she replied and I nodded "I've been okay, bored out of my damn mind most of the time when I get sick of watching tv, what about you? How have you been? How's the baby doing?" I asked and she smiled rubbing her bump"She's been moving a lot lately and I just came from seeing Dr. Mel, she said that she'll be coming soon. Maybe in a week or so" Ellie replied making me smile"That's great, Ellie, have you picked names yet?" I said and she nodded a soft look covering her features and I could only imagine she was thinking about her fiancé and parents."I was thinking of combining my parents name and Erick's name but I haven't f
