As Jen left Samantha's place, William rushed after him. "Jen! Wait!" he called out. Some time of running later, the pair stopped at a familiar area right outside their pack. It was day time, with the sun now high enough to shine light to the surface, but William recognized the place; it was the very spot where he and Jen had their stargazing date. Standing not far from him was none other than Jen, who was looking up at the clouds above. "You really didn't need to follow me, you know..." Jen told him, unable to look at his boyfriend in the eyes. "Of course I had to follow you. We're boyfriends," William told him. "For how much longer?" At that question, Jen turned to face the Alpha, eyes starting to get a bit teary as he took in a breath. "I won't force anything onto you, William... I know better than to do that. I just... I know you promised me that you would always be looking at me, having feelings for me and not Ellie. But- and I won't blame you for it. It's something that can ne
After Ellie was given a list of things she should and should not do and eat by Samantha and Phila, she was allowed to return to her house. The list was not entirely strict enough that she should be following it completely now, so to say. However, according to the healers, once she reaches her second or third trimester- when her body undergoes more changes- that was when Ellie should best heed to the list they gave her. As she arrived at her house, as she had expected, Ashina and Morgan were there, waiting for her return. Well, Morgan was calmly waiting for her. Ashina, on the other hand, seemed frantic when Ellie saw her, and not because Ellie was not home when they arrived, for the pair knew Jengo was giving her special training in the day and night. As it would turn out, when the pair first arrived and noticed her lack of presence in the house, Ashina and Morgan decided to wait for her return. As the time passed, though, it should've been time for her to return, which worried the p
With William, the Alpha werewolf made his way back to his house. As he walked, he pondered on how he can call the authority werewolves in for that meeting about the condition of their Pack. 'I suppose I can just call it an emergency meeting. WIth everything that's been going on these days, that's long been overdue,' he thought. 'And you think that's enough?' Liam asked. 'Surely you know as well as I do that a simple meet isn't going to be enough. Especially if you're just going to call on some werewolves instead of all of them. Especially not with how far gone these idiots are for these damn accidents to happen.' 'I know that. However, I have 'dismissed' more than enough people for various reasons. Furthermore, I have lost contact to the werewolves I had sent on that spy mission on the Liberal Pack. Adding on the state of this questionable war... I don't want to lose any more of my people, Liam.' 'And I understand that. But you know you cannot continue things like this. What happen
That night, many werewolves gathered in the plaza at William's order. At first, some people did not believe Nelson when the guy told them that William ordered for this meeting to happen- specifically the overly cautious authority werewolves. Thankfully, Jengo came by and confirmed the message, as well as helped spread word. While the Beta did not know why the meeting has changed into a public setting for all werewolves, he knew William well enough; he knew something must've happened that called for a large gathering. Amongst the werewolves that gathered, Ellie was also there. She was quite puzzled when she was told to attend by Jengo, but quickly came to realize what the meeting may be about. 'He did announce that we were mates to the mass,' she recalled. 'It'd be no surprise if he wanted to do the same about my pregnancy. And like back then... he won't care about me after that, nor about the position he'll leave me in...' As she remembered the announcement that time, Ellie felt her
With the meeting over, the pack dispersed and returned to their respective matters. Thanks to news on Ellie's pregnancy, the werewolves have calmed down somewhat, no longer tense about news and possibilities of there being a possible traitor amongst them, especially from the authority werewolves. Although, it may be more because of the 'example' William made out of Lector- who was sent to the dungeon after the event. Regardless, things were as peaceful as can be now. Ellie was back in her humble abode, lying in bed, gently rubbing her tummy. While she was not expect her child to feel... well, anything from the action now, she hoped it would at least sense the comfort she was giving it. Its birth may still be far off, but she still wanted to do something motherly for it before them. Before... they are forced to be separated... 'Is this what a mother's instincts is like?' she wondered. 'Even though I shouldn't and don't want this kid... Even though I can't be with it... How stupid do
A little over a week passed since William announced Ellie's pregnancy to the pack. In the time that passed, to the Alpha's relief, there had been no news about any accusations going on; whether they be about any sort of traitors in the pack or otherwise. Sadly, the same could not be said about making an attack on the Liberal Pack, in which his councilmen constantly insisted that he do, or at least send one other wolf there to check in on the matters. As they had been getting nothing from the spies already stationed there, they suggest William does at least that much so they would get a good idea of what was going on in that pack. Likewise, it was also because of that that William had been going against the idea. Not with how high the risk this spy mission was, even though the scouts could not see anything going on in the pack from outside their high wooden fences to get any sort of details. Despite this, though, one werewolf insisted they would go check on the situation for the pack.
In Ellie's house, Ellie had been doing nothing but cleaning around the house. Since she couldn't do anything strenous- as ordered by Samantha- she had been feeling restless doing nothing all day. Thankfully, she was allowed to do some cleaning, at least, especially as she was still in her early stage. It was not that she liked to clean- in fact, she rarely did any of that back in the Hermit Pack- but it was still a workout in its own way, and thus relieving her of her restlessness. "Alright, I think that should do for cleaning for now," she sighed, wiping away a bit of sweat from her forehead. She looked around her small home, taking in the sight of her clean work. "I wonder if it's because I've clean this place up a lot of times already. It looks much brighter than before." Spending the past week to clean her small abode? Ellie did not clean the place once or twice, or even three times; she cleaned about a dozen times now. It was also not as though she had been cleaning daily either
The next few days, it had been... odd, to say the least, for Ellie. There was nothing off with her body- aside from more symptoms gradually getting added on to her- nothing odd was going on with Ashina and Morgan, even Jengo was the same as always. However... something was going on with William. During these few days, William had been visiting her on a daily basis in the afternoon. THey were brief, but the Alpha kept coming along to see her. To see their baby. Perhaps it was not all that weird for a soon-to-be father to want to see his unborn pup, but it was certainly weird if that very father was also a dangerous, notorious, cold-blodded werewolf, who left as soon as he took a few steps towards the pregnant mother. All because said mother seemed frightened of him. Well... 'frightened' would not be the best word to use on Ellie. Every time William approached her, she continuously, unconsciously thought about her child's birth. Particularly about how it will get taken away from her,
