Zions' P.O.V. After Rain announced our pregnancy to our crew by saying it was morning sickness, the ladies got it automatically, while the guys were confused. Ryker thought their confusion was hysterical. I plainly explained that we were pregnant to the guys, and they finally got it. Unfortunately, we hadn't thought about how Odett would feel about it. "What's wrong, sweetie?" I ask her as I pick her up, and we sit on the couch. "Does this mean you'll send me back to the orphanage now that y'all have your own baby?" She says, almost whispering. I feel like an absolute failure for not thinking about how she would feel and quickly think of what to say to make her understand that she's ours. "No! You are our child. The new pup won't change that you are part of our family. We're just giving you a sibling." I try to explain. "You were the one who made me a mother and Zion, a father, regardless of whether you are our biological child or n

Zions' P.O.V. After our announcement, people surrounded us, offering their congratulations and expressing their happiness for us. In the middle of thanking everyone, I look over, noticing Rain has become quiet and looks worried. I smile and finish thanking everyone on her behalf until everyone starts to dissipate. "Are you okay, my love?" I ask Rain. "Yes, Dosha has been asleep since the buffet, and I'm worried about her. She says she was tired." She answers, and I begin to worry. "Do we need to call the Doctor?" I ask. "I'm not in any pain, so I think it'll be okay to wait until the morning to call him," She says, and I nod in understanding. "In that case, I think it's time for bed," I say, pointing at Jessica, now holding a sleeping Odett in her arms. "I guess all the excitement has finally gotten to her." "I know how she feels." She says. I smile, lifting her in my arms, making her giggle, and carry her to our suite as she

Zions' P.O.V. As Rain and Jessica look around her new office, I link Ms.Blanch, asking her to get someone to bring their planning folders and any more papers they may need to her office. She says she will get one of the new assistants that Jessica and Rain hired to bring everything over for me. I close the link after thanking her and then turn my attention to my mate and her sister. "Ms.Blanch will have one of the new assistants bring the planning folders and everything needed to finalize the plans. They should be here soon." I tell her. "That's great. Thank you." She says with a smile, walking around her desk and sitting down in her new chair. "You look comfortable," I say with a laugh. "Well, what did you expect? You did an amazing job with everything." She replies with a giggle. "Thank you for the high praise, my Queen," I say. "We'll let y'all get settled in while Orian and I get some work done in my office. We'll come to get y'a

Zions' P.O.V. As Christian and I discuss how things will work while we find a replacement for the Alpha position, I hear Rain and Jessica giggling about something, but before I can ask what they're planning, Orian walks back into the office with a smile. "Looks like Nick might have to skip the council meeting." He says with a laugh. "I kinda figured that. Did Mia introduce him to Annie?" I asked Orian. "Yup, then she took him to her room." He answers with a sly smile making me laugh. "Who is Annie?" Christian asks us. "She is Mias' daughter." Orian answers and Christian nods his head in understanding. "The meeting is about to start. Annie says she'll have snacks and drinks ready in the meeting room." Orian says. *********************************** Rains' P.O.V. We make our way out of the office and down the hall into a big room with a large table

Zions' P.O.V. As we discuss the idea of my cousin Eithan becoming the new Alpha of the Blue River Pack and Mias' transfer to be with her mate Nick, Orian links me to let us know that they are all packed. I tell him we will meet them at the front entrance, then I link Stephanie, asking her if they are almost here, and she says they will be back in less than ten minutes. When I tell Rain, she nods and stands up, but her face goes pale as he body goes limp, and she begins to fall to the ground. I catch her quickly before she can hit the ground, holding her close to me while Sam, Christan, and Mathew jump to their feet quickly. "Are you okay, my love?" I ask her, and I can't tell if she is shaking or if I'm shaking since my nerves are sky-high at the moment. "I'm okay. I just got a little dizzy." She says, but I can tell she's worried as well. "Maybe we should go see Doctor Jameson," I suggest. "I'm okay." She says as she shakes her head
