Rick POV
Standing back, I put my hands on top of my head. This has been a long ass night and getting rid of the dead will take more time. Looking at my warriors, I can see they are exhausted, but I am grateful to every one of them for standing with Miranda, her mother and me. As I look at Elder Morris’s body I am saddened to see Miranda’s mother draped over his body. We knew there would be casualties in this war, but you are never prepared for the losses.
Pulling Miranda into my arms again, I murmur to her we need to go. I need to check on Jared, Alex, and Lily. “You go ahead, Rick, I am going to stay with my mother and then I will be along,” Miranda says. Kissing the top of her head, “I’m proud of you baby,” I say to her before I shift to take off back to the Pack hospital.
 
Thank you once again for continuing to support Beta to Luna. I admit this was a sad one for me to write - I loved Alex's character. Be sure to leave a comment or review - I love the feedback. Chapters updated daily. Ellie xo
Lily POV Pregnant. I am pregnant. “How is this possible, Doctor Kent?” I ask confused. I knew it was a remote possibility. I had prayed to the Moon Goddess for this moment, but I had expected to be able to share it with Jared. “I admit, Luna, it’s a shock to me. A pleasant shock, mind you,” Doctor Kent replies. Nodding I’m confused and scared. “Did my shifting do any damage to the pup?” I ask the doctor. “No, it seems your wolf protected the pup. It’s still early days of your pregnancy, but you are most definitely pregnant, Lily,” the doctor says gently. “I want to caution you Lily. This is a high-risk pregnancy, Lily. You need to take care of yourself. Eat properly, don’t neglect your health as we wait for the Alpha to come out of his coma. You need to be pr
Lily POV Three weeks we have been waiting for Jared to wake up. Three weeks of increased anxiety. My wolf, Missy, has not been able to reach Jared’s wolf. We haven’t had any encouraging movements from him. No hints that he is waking. The tubes have been removed from his throat, so he is breathing on his own now. He simply isn’t waking up. Rick has taken over running the Pack. We had to lay Alex and the other warriors to rest. We couldn’t wait any longer for Jared to wake up. We hadn’t wanted to tell him of our losses but we had to so he would know we were going forward with the traditional services for our lost. Not that we knew if he heard us or understood. Elder Morris conducted the services for us.&n
Jared POV It’s been four months since I woke up after the big fight. Things quickly got back to normal. Lily’s pregnancy progressed with many challenges and bed rest, which drove all of us crazy. She did not do well not being able to move. But she would do anything for the pup. I was holding our newborn Alpha while Lily slept. She had just delivered him. After a lengthy labour, it was decided we needed to do an emergency caesarian for the safety of both the pup and Lily. Doctor Kent didn’t know if Lily would be able to have any more pups, but we wouldn’t worry about that today. Today was a day to celebrate. Our pup was born, Alex Richard Montgomery. We both agreed we wanted to name our son after Alex. Not onl
Lily POV Tonight, is the Summer Ball and our Pack, the Golden Moon Pack, is hosting this year’s event. I am hoping to meet my mate tonight. Well in truth I hope to meet my mate all the time. Tonight, is just special because it brings a lot of unmated werewolves together into one space. Wolves and she-wolves come from across the Country to attend this event. This year is no different. I never found my mate in our Pack, so I hope my mate is here tonight. And I hope he doesn’t live too far away from my own Pack. Katie is my best friend and I can’t imagine life without her. We’ll both be happy for each other when we find our mates, I just hope we find them together, so the loss is easier for us both. I h
Lily POV Feeling like a puppy who just got kicked, I felt tears start to fill my eyes. As I tried to say something my throat tightened up so I couldn’t say anything as I tried to contain my sob of distress. This couldn’t be happening. I had finally found my mate and he was committed to someone else. And a bitch at that. Turning from him, he tried to grab my arm when I pulled away from him. I couldn’t ignore the tingles I felt as he touched my arm; as my breath caught in my throat. I heard his intake of breath as well when he touched me. But I wasn’t going to stand there and be humiliated by this man. It was enough I had met him with excitement, to find out he was with someone else was heart breaking. I wouldn’t stand there to be rejected.&nb
Lily POV Popping out of bed this morning, I realize I have a date with my mate. Wanting to dress to impress, I put on a cute summer dress in a pale blue that shows off my tanned skin. The skirt comes to mid-thigh and has a cute vee neckline. Adding my heels, letting my hair flow down my back, I grab my sunglasses as it looks like a beautiful day out there. As I walk down to the dining hall, I don’t see Jared yet. I go to sit at my usual spot and watch the door for him to arrive. I order breakfast, as I can’t sit there and look like I’m waiting for someone. That would be more humiliating for everyone to know I had been sitting here and might have been stood up by my mate.Not that everyone knew I had found my mate last night. I hadn’t told my parents yet and I
Lily POV The week flew by – Kate and I had spent a girl’s night together just talking about everything. She had lucked in with her mate Colby. Although she was missing him immensely; he left shortly after Jared did, she talks to him every day. She’s been wrapped up in trying to track down a threat to the Golden Moon Pack. I had texted with Jared thru the week, and we talked a couple times. I admit they were awkward conversations. I hope things will get easier once I am there. I wondered if not going when he was left was the right thing to do, but I couldn’t leave everyone in the lurch here. That wouldn’t have been fair nor right. Jared was picking me up in another day. Katie and I are going o
Lily POV After teary goodbyes with my family and Kate, I climb into the back of the SUV sent to pick me up to take me to Jared’s Pack. There were two warriors in the front seat. They acknowledged me as their Luna. I nodded to them and smiled, asking their names. We shared brief niceties and then they were talking about Pack business, which I knew little about. One of the warrior’s noted it was unfortunate that Jared couldn’t make it to pick me up. “Alpha Jared and Alpha Anya are always doing great things in the community and today is a picnic set up for the Pack children,” he adds. Sitting there quietly, I try to control myself. I don’t want my waves of anger to be felt in the vehicle. Jared left me to come to his Pack alone so he could spend time with his chosen mate. I understand
