Josh povMy dad came to my house with my mom who was still visibly upset and sore. Claire touched her head and healed the injuries shocking my mom. Yes my mate is strong as hell."is David okay?",I nodded but knew he would go back to the nightmares again."we hope so but seeing her freaked him out. He is crying in his room",he went there once we got home and keeps crying. Claire has cried with him and tried to get him to come out."can I try to talk to him?",my dad asked. My mom sat staring at us and I knew she wanted to talk. but was a proud woman. Stubborn as hell but proud too."I'm sorry",her words shocked me."mom...",I started but she looked up tears filling her eyes and I felt Claire sigh sadly."no Josh , she protested, I was so wrapped up on having a big family that I didn't take in the fact you have Hunter, David and now Gavin. Claire just gave birth and I was going on about having more",I sighed. "I know mom and we are okay either way. I don't really care if we can have mor

Claire povMy witch wants out this bitch has my best friend at gun point. Gemma looks scared as she shields her belly. I have no idea where Lucas is and I'm angry he left her here alone. Josh is pissed as he stares at the nurse. "let her go",he alpha orders. She looks compelled my witch offers. Fuck vampire compulsion is a bitch."I have to do this, the nurse cries, my mom is with them",I hear Josh growling as he glares at the nurse. Lucas runs in and his eyes go black then golden."get the fuck away from my mate!!",he yells making us jump. Gemma whimpers."please don't hurt my baby ",Gemma cried as she shielded her belly."I have to do this,the nurse sobbed, they have my mama",Josh shared a worried look with me."I have to do this, the nurse sobs, if I don't my mom dies",she is definitely under vampire compulsion. I look at Gemma and raise my hand the gun yanks out her hand and she screams. She shoves Gemma hard and Lucas leaps forward catching his mate keeping her from hitting the f

Lucas povI rushed to her bed once Jonathan let the order go and I gently covered her up. She looks frail I noted as I sat by the bed. When she shifted in her sleep I noticed her belly was a bit bigger. The blanket fell and as I moved to cover her up our pup moved and my eyes filled with tears."your moving, I touched the belly being quiet. Our boy I'm convinced he is a boy kicked at my hand, good job baby",I spoke softly to him. He stopped moving when Gemma whimpered rubbing at her belly."stop kicking so hard, she slurred out in her sleep, that hurts",I frowned. Our pup was hurting her."easy on mama",I kissed her belly and covered her up and sat by the bed. I watched her sleep taking In the dark circles under her eyes. Guilt filled me as I watched her shift again."back hurts",she whimpered in her sleep. I stood going to get doc I didn't want her in pain."doc, I walked up fast, her back hurts",he looked at me and nodded."it will Josh all pups make the moms uncomfortable and hurt.

Josh povI held my best friend as he went limp and I barely felt my dad moving me as him and Duke took over. Gemma was sobbing and holding her belly as they worked on him. Claire stepped up. She looked worried as she watched Lucas."please move, she kneeled beside him her hands over his wound, I need space",I watched her concentrate and blue light came out her hands and into Lucas. She didn't move even as May rushed over to help and everyone went quiet. The rogues hauled ass and some of our men gave chase to kill them."little one",I all but whispered. I watch May and my mate heal Lucas and it was amazing. The wound closed up and the blood stopped flowing. He remained on the ground as doc ran in and with one shock he was back. Claire and May stood on shaky legs and as I reached for Claire she fell. Shocked gasps sounds as Duke caught May and I caught Claire both passed out from the drain of their power to save a pack member.Fuck Scar growled as he looked Claire over."we will join you

Josh povI go back to Claire and calm myself so I don't stress or scare her. She is sitting up looking scared till she sees me."Josh",she whimpers."easy love we got it handled I swear",I hugged her and felt instant calmness. I kissed her lips and sighed."what did they want?",I eased back and sighed."the vampires ",she teared up."please don't give them what they want, she begged, please help Victor and the others. I really like them Josh and I feel comfortable with them. Safe, she mumbles, I feel safe with them. It feels like the pack is now complete ",she blushes. Victor comes in and Claire looks him over."I'm not hurt honey relax",he smiles at her."you won't leave, right?",she looked at him. He nodded no."no honey I'm staying here. Feels like home to us and we really like all of you",she sighs relieved. My dad walks in and looks tired."they ran I got men tracking them but I don't think this will be the end of those fuckers" ,he sits with a sigh.We all talk and when Claire ya
