Scott’s Pov:I was still livid about what happened yesterday. My mom still decided to go on with the plans even after I told her not to go on with her for the sake of Emma’s health. My night was filled with thoughts of Emma abandoning our child and then eloping with another man. The thought of it made me unhappy and jealous.I decided to accept the invitation to the Luna trials not because of my mom but because I wanted to see Emma’s Wolf. I wondered if it was beautiful, just like she was beautiful in her human form.I was accompanied to the venue by my Beta Liam, the priest, the Gamma, and the elders. I was supposed to go to the border, but I couldn't go anymore because of Emma. Liam and the Gamma had to leave for the border in the company of the Gamma.I was stunned when I heard Ashley was Emma’s challenger. My mother had her way and managed to get Ashley in. I was used to seeing her wolf, but he had grown over the years; it was still impressive.I was proud when I saw Emma’s wolf;

Chapter 55Emma’s Pov:I grinned for a moment when Scott agreed to feed me. It was another highlight of me waking up after I saw the pure bliss that sparked within Scott when he felt our baby in my womb kick. I watched as he tried to watch over and take care of me. I was happy, but I knew all these feelings were just going to stay for something. In less than a minute, he would be back to being cold toward me.He carefully fed me, clearing away any spill that was threatening to drop from my mouth. I sat down lazily; all I had to do was open and close my mouth, then chew. Anna was behind us.A knock on the door startled me. Scott paused and turned to the door. "Continue; I will get the door."Anna stood at the door, talking in hushed tones, then she veered around. “Scott, Anna called out quietly. Scott turned to face her. “The priest is done. Your presence is needed outside.'' She looked uncomfortably at Scott.Scott spun to look at me sadly. He dropped the spoon he was with and said, “

Scott PovThe recent events happening in the pack house was starting to get to me. On one hand was my mate's trials, slight weakness-even if she will not admit it and in the other hand was my Beta who was seriously injured. And all these appeared to happening all at once as if it was all a scheme.That was why I didn't want to be alone. Why I was here. Well, apart from desiring to be close to my mate. She didn't know it, but she was slowly starting to crawl into my skin."Emma. wait!" I reached the door on time and grabbed her hand before she would shut the door. "Fine, I will be civil," I said, lifting my hands in the air. "Liam needs to be alone. To rest," I added to sway her when I noticed she was not having it. "Oh, c'mon Emma... Okay, you need to rest too... because of the baby."She rolled her eyes and snatched her hand away, turned, and came back into the room."I- I am just not ready for your mood swings now, Scott. I don't need you acting all sweet to me now and then becoming

Emma’s POV:Beta Liam’s deteriorating health scared me a lot; it was as if he was dying in front of me when he started his episodes. The healer was still yet to be found; if only I could heal him, then I wouldn't have to cry all through. The stress that came with staying beside Beta Liam was telling on me and my child. I took my medication religiously, but it wasn't enough, and my whole body needed rest.Scott was out in the dead of night, and he said he wasn't going to come back until he found the healer by himself since the people he asked to do the job didn't come back with good reports.I was itching to be beside Beta Liam, but the healer said no one should enter until the whole candle was burned out.I peered through the window; he was lying down calmly, but he was in bad shape. His whole skin looked like crude oil was running through his veins. It has spread throughout his whole body except for his face. According to the healer, he could die anytime soon; it was the candlelights

Chapter 61Emma’s Pov:I was so surprised at what the healer said; I wasn’t aware that my bloodline had generational healers. My parents barely talked about their lineage, and I didn't know why.I didn't know any members of my extended family; probably that would have given me every clue that I wanted.I was happy that Liam was not dead and that he was safe and sound. But I was nervous about the new powers I had just discovered. I wasn't cursed; after all, all my life I had seen myself as a curse, but lately, I have been seeing every reason to not call myself a curse.I was a soon-to-be mother; I had a life depending on me for survival. I looked down at my stomach, and I smiled at it as if I were seeing my child. I couldn't resist the urge to rub my stomach, so I did it evenly. My baby kicked in response, and it gladdened my heart. This was my newest hobby, and I was shamelessly obsessed with it.I looked over at Beta Liam, who stirred in his sleep. I beamed at him; he had been asleep
