When we got to the airport, Aidinth watched the guys unload the car with wide eyes, “Was there anything left in the store?” I laughed, “I couldn’t help it! They had all my favorite clothes in every size that I’m going to need.” He laughed as he wrapped his arms around me, “It’s fine, my love. I know you need them.” Then he put his hands on my belly, “They did seem to triple in size overnight.” I nodded, “I know.” We got on the plane, and I sat down. I took a deep breath and suddenly felt a little flutter in my stomach. I put my hand on it, and it happened again. This time, I could feel it from the outside too. I must have had a weird look on my face, because Aidinth asked, “Are you okay?” I smiled, “More than okay.” I motioned for him to sit down, and he did. I took his hand and put it over the spot where the baby was moving. His eyes glistened with unshed tears, “That is the coolest thing ever. That’s my child in there.” I nodded and he kissed me tenderly, then he added, “Things ar
Wow. The last three months have been a whirlwind. It has been three months since the event in Louisiana, and it was a major success. The local humans have joined the game wardens in keeping an eye out for poachers. Sergio has discovered that it’s mostly people who come in from out of state that are poaching. The locals who were poaching got caught very quickly after the event. Their own family or friends turned them in. It was nuts for them for a little while, but things have settled down a lot for them. Right now, I’m sitting with Aidinth at the doctor’s office, waiting for my doctor to come in the room. As she enters, she smiles, “So, would you like to find out what you’re having today?” I smiled, “I would love to know, so we can prepare.” She brought the ultrasound machine in, but it didn’t look like the same one she usually uses. I asked, “What is different about that machine?” She explained, “This is a high-definition ultrasound. If we can get them in the right position
Aidinth and I sat on the couch, napping, laughing, and watching TV for the rest of the day. Once in a while, I would step outside to check on the wolves. It is so good to see their pups thriving. It feels good to know that I had something to do with that. The white pup has learned to camouflage himself on his own now. The only time he doesn’t is when he is going in our garage for the night. He knows that he is safe in there. I woke up this morning seeing much more sunlight than I am used to seeing. I looked around and realized I’m still on the couch! Did Aidinth leave me down here? I started to get up and found that an arm had a vice-like grip on me. I’m sure it’s just to keep me from falling off, but I really need to pee. I tapped his arm, and he instinctively loosened his hold, without waking up. I walked upstairs to our room, and did my business, then took my shower. I dried myself off and walked to the closet. I put on a pair of maternity leggings and a huge t shirt, bec
As we sat on the couch eating snacks and laughing at movies, I couldn’t help but wonder what is happening with Luna Abby. I’m sure she is still flying or driving, but it’s eating at me. Aidinth pauses the movie and smiles at me, “You can’t get out of Princess mode, can you?” I shrug my shoulders, “I’m just wondering where they are. That’s all. I know Luna Abby will keep me informed. She’s amazing at that. It just bugs me.” He pulled me close to him, “Do you need to go bake something?” I laughed, “You know me so well. I may need to do that. Let’s finish watching this movie, then I will think about it.” That is when my phone rang. I answered on the first ring without even looking to see who is calling, “Hello?” To my relief, it was Luna Abby, “Hey Princess Chloe, I have Alpha Damien, Gideon Begay, his mate Willow Begay, his brother and second in command, Denali Begay, and his mate, Isla Begay.” I put the phone on speaker and said, “Hello everyone, I am Princess Chloe Bergeron
Saturday morning, I woke up and jumped out of bed. I am so excited about this Pow Wow. I love them so much! Aidinth has never been to one, so he has no idea what to expect. I am super excited, so as soon as I’m done in the shower, I get dressed and walk downstairs. I decide that I want to make Indian frybread, after I finish making breakfast, to set the mood for the Pow Wow. As Aidinth and I are eating breakfast, Luna Abby calls to tell me they are in the building and there must be five thousand people there. I was floored. She said that King Uther made it, along with a few of his warriors, and Gryphon plans on showing up with a unicorn and Pegasus. I chuckled, “Be on the lookout for Sid. You know how he likes to make an entrance.” Luna Abby laughed, “Oh yes he does.” We finished talking about the arrangements, and the plan for the presentation, then we ended the call because she had people approaching her to introduce themselves. I smiled, knowing the event is in good hands
Six weeks later, we are at home, and I am downright miserable. I am waddling everywhere I go, and Aidinth, somehow, still thinks I'm cute. Today, we have company. Both of my brothers came up to visit and brought Sergio and his wife with them. We have been having a blast. Luna Abby came up yesterday with Alpha Damien and told us that the anti-poaching event in Alaska went great. So far, they have locked up one hundred eighty poachers. They think some may have chosen to get out of poaching altogether. We were all absolutely thrilled at that news. Today, Adrien and Julien came over to meet Sergio, Zaiden, and Allen. They all went on a walk around the woods, and we visited while Luna Abby and I cooked dinner. In the middle of cooking dinner, I felt a warm liquid rush down my legs. I whispered to Luna Abby, "I think my water just broke." She looked at my feet and she whispered back, “I think so too.” She smiled, "Let's get the doctor. Okay?" I nodded and she grabbed my phone. I l
What a ride we have had in these last ten years. Aidinth and I are still blissfully happy with each other, and our kids are amazing. We are still being called to areas around the world to host anti-poaching campaigns. My favorites have been to China, to protect the pandas, and to Africa to protect the wild cats. I fell in love with the wild versions of these animals. The werebears and werecats have been trying to protect themselves as well as the full blood version with a fierceness that I have not seen anywhere else. Mainly because they were getting desperate. Aidinth and I went there and ended up calling Luna Abby in for reinforcements. The poachers for these animals are willing to kill and die for the money they expect to receive for the parts they keep of these animals. It’s crazy and stupid. Money should never be the driving force behind what we do. These poachers do not get it though. We had a lot of poachers locked up in those areas. They won’t be getting out any time soon ei
In a tiny run-down shack, in the middle of the forest, screams were heard as a woman lay on a bed, giving birth. When the baby made her entrance into the world, the mother looked at her with disdain, and picked her up. As she walked out the door, she chuckled as she pinched the nose of the severed head which belonged to the inhabitant of this shack, "You would still be alive if you had just stayed gone." She walked out the door, with the baby, and turned around and pointed at the house to set the house on fire. Then she looked at the baby with a sneer, "Now to get rid of you.” As she walked through the forest, she dropped her into a pile of leaves as she walked past it. She walked away mumbling, “I’m not going to kill you yet. I may need you in the future.” The baby girl lays quietly as her mother walks away. Her tiny, naked body has no time to grow cold before Winnie, Queen of the White Witch Coven, feels the magic rolling off of her in waves and follows the waves t
Elisabeth POV 10 Years Later “Mom! Are we ready to go yet? I can’t wait to see Elliot… and his brother and sisters!” I’m waiting in the foyer of the castle, and mom is taking her sweet time getting Raven ready to go. Raven is my mom’s granddaughter, but she and I are like sisters, and she is only five. My mom, Queen Winnie, is actually my stepmom. She has never tried to keep it a secret either. I’m only ten, but she raised me to be independent. That would also be why I’m ready and Raven is not. She likes to play the helpless child role a little too much. I keep telling her tha
