The day after the ceremony and my proposal, Maverick’s parents came to visit with my parents. “My darling princess, how are you feeling today?” my mother asked me with a teasing smile, “I feel like I am on cloud nine and the moon goddess has wrapped me in her embrace. I am happy,” I tell her. Maverick stands by my side with a smile, “I think we should sit down and start planning your wedding,” Maverick’s mother announces, we all take a seat.“How long do you want your engagement to be, Mave when you were engaged to Cynthia, you waited a year, do you want to do the same?” His mother asks, he looks at me, “No mother, I do not think I can wait a year to make Jolene my wife, Jolene what do you think?” he asks me, “I cannot wait a year either. Can we do six months? Will that be enough time to plan the wedding?” I ask them.“That should be enough time, between your mother and I, we should be able to get it done” his mother replies. I feel Maverick leave my side and I turn to face him, he is

The next morning, after we had tied up Cole and freed, we briefed the real Jake about our plan and Cole also filled him in. Now, Jake and I were standing at the pack house and I was pretending to cry on his shoulder and he was comforting me. We were waiting for Jake’s ‘cousin’ to show up and catch him. Maverick was waiting at our house. Since we were supposed to be broken up, we could not be seen together. Cole’s phone started ringing and Jake picked up, “Hello, are you here yet?” Jake asked, “I just got past the guards, I am on my way to the pack house,” the voice says. Okay he is on his way, Cole never told us his name, He said he did not even know it.After ten minutes of waiting, we saw a really handsome guy walking towards us and I guessed that was their ruler. “Jake, he is here, are you ready?” I whisper to him. “Hey Jake, I am sorry for the wait.” He says to Jake. “Hey cuz, this is Jolene, the Ruler of the Lycans. Jolene, this is my cousin, I told you he was coming, remember?”

Two Weeks LaterMaverick is holding my hair back as I throw up in the toilet, I have been throwing up every morning for the past week. I suspect I may be pregnant or it is a period symptom. “We need to go to the pack hospital today, I cannot keep watching you in pain,” Maverick says, “Yes, we can go as soon as we shower,” I tell him.We both take a shower, we always take a shower together, it is intimate and we like it. Once we are done, we dry ourselves up and dress up. When we are done getting ready, we head out. We do not take the car because the pack hospital is not far from the palace. I suppose we could have asked the doctor to come over but I prefer going to the hospital, I do not want the doctor to leave any other patient for me.When we arrive at the hospital, we are taken to a private room and we are told to wait that our doctor will be with us shortly. As we wait for the doctor, I turn to Maverick who is walking around the room, “What if I am actually pregnant? How would yo

 I am currently in the hospital. I was admitted two days ago since my due date is two days from now. I miss going to bed with Maverick, I really hate being in hospitals for long. When I was younger, before I found out I was a Lycan, I used to get sick with human illnesses and was in and out of the hospital. Ever since then I have hated being in hospitals for more than two days. Maverick comes to see me every day. Actually, it is more like he does not leave my side until it is for me to go to bed. I am sure he misses me in his bed also. Judging from the bags beneath his eyes, he has not been sleeping well either. I am currently laying on the bed with one of the books that Maverick brought for me to keep my mind occupied while I was here so that boredom would not drive me crazy. Maverick is asleep in the chair by my bed. I look up from my book and study his face as he sleeps, all of a sudden, I feel a cramp in my stomach.&

 “Harlan, come here, we have to take our picture with the cake,” yelled Luna. Harlan left Austin and ran over to where Luna was standing, “Okay, let us get this done,” he tells her. I position myself between Harlan and Luna while Maverick sets the camera up, “Mave, do not forget the timer,” I tell him. He nods and sets the timer, once he sets it up, he comes to stand beside Luna. we smile and we hear a click. “Austin, do you want to be in the next one?” I ask him. He nods and comes over, Maverick resets the timer and this time, Harlan, Austin, and Luna are standing in the middle with Mave and I at the ends. We take the picture and the kids go off. They just turned seventeen and this was the year that they would find their mate. we were going to take Harlan and Luna on a trip across the supernatural world to help Luna find her mate in order to fulfill the prophecy. As for Harlan, I
