“You can run, but you need to run slowly, and limit yourself to ten laps. Your body is supporting another life, you need to remember that.” Doc was giving me the same stern look he had given me that night all those years ago. “I am keeping you here overnight to give you more fluids and to keep an eye on you.”

“Doc, what about my trip?” I was hoping I could still go. If not, I will have a hell of a time trying to convince Reiner to go without me.

“You should be fine to go. I have given your mate a list of things you should do, and things you should avoid. Stick to it and you will feel better.” Doc stood up to leave.

“Hey, Doc, how long will the all-day sickness last?” Reiner’s worry came through our bond.

“It’s hard to say. A lot of times it goes away during the second trimester, but other times, it has lasted through entire pregnancies. Keep an eye on her.” He turned walking out the door.

“You should go home and get some rest.” I felt bad I had caused this by being stubbor

    Reiner's POVI could tell she was getting annoyed. Myla was not one to be fawned over. I opened the door to our suite; Wade and Sam were seated on the couch. Wade and Sam are the captains of the warriors. Myla will not be happy, but I am ordering them to be her guards at all times. I have to keep her and our baby safe. She looked at Wade and Sam, then back at me. I watched her drop into her recliner; everyone was chatting happily. I walked behind her and began rubbing her shoulders. I could feel her start to relax. She started dozing off. I knew she had to be tired. The night spent in the hospital had not been restful. Between the nurses coming in at all hours to check her vitals, and the nonstop beeping from the monitor, I think I may have slept an hour. She had slept more than I had but, I know it was not restful for her. As she began snoring quietly, everyone began to leave. I said goodbye to Barrett and Jade. Jade made me promise to call if I had any questions. Barrett

    Reiner's POVI knew they were both tired, I closed the door; went into the kitchen, and started a pot of coffee, breaking news came on the tv. I sat down on the couch to watch. Turns out, another wolf had gone missing. This one was a member of Dark night pack. Alpha Baron ran that pack. I had met him a few times, but I didn’t know him very well. I looked at the calendar. We would be leaving for our trip tomorrow. Evie was staying here with Barrett and Jade. Myla had felt weird about taking her without her mother’s permission. Barrett and Jade had decided to stay in our suite to keep Evie comfortable. I shut off the tv. I got up and poured two cups of coffee. As I was putting cream in Myla’s cup, two arms wrapped around me.“Good morning,” the sweet voice of my mate.“Good morning beautiful,” I said turning and kissing the top of her head. “How come you slept in Evie’s bed?”“She had a nightmare. I heard her crying in her sleep, so I went in to check on her. I lay down to hold her for

    “Alpha, I’m sorry, I” Roxy stammered trying to save herself from my mate’s wrath.“Save it, slut!” She roared, making everyone cower, except me. I was enjoying this. Roxy had made my life hell for a long time.“Alpha, please, if you kick me off your territory, I will have nowhere to go,” Roxy had tears streaming down her face as she begged Myla to let her stay.“Maybe you should have thought about that before you embarrassed my mate when he was a teenager and now you show up and try to seduce him knowing he is mine!” Her tone made me worry her wolf may make an appearance. I knew she would keep herself from shifting to protect our baby.“Please Alpha, please,” Roxy begged again as her back hit the door to the pub.“Get out and don’t ever show your ugly slut face around here again!”Roxy turned and bolted out the door. Her red dress got caught as the door shut. I heard it tear as the pub broke out in laughter.Myla was still staring after her. I heard the command go out through the pack

    Reiner's POVI took her hand, leading her to the back of the plane. I opened the door and she gasped. The back of the jet contained a separate bedroom. It had a king-size bed, a chair, and a tv. I had the stewardess make the bed up knowing my pregnant mate would like to be able to lie down. I walked her over to the bed. As she sat down, I kneeled in front of her taking her shoes off. I then helped her lay back as I lifted her legs onto the bed. I pulled the covers up and handed her the remote. She giggled.“Why thank you, sir,” she said with a fake rich accent.“You are quite welcome madame,” I answered with my faux British accent. We both laughed. I sat with her till she fell asleep. I got up to go to the main cabin. The stewardess was a kindly woman named Marie. She was older and had that motherly mannerism about her.“Alpha Reiner, you certainly have a beautiful mate.” She smiled warmly. “How far along is she?”“You know she’s pregnant?”She smiled knowingly. “Well sir, with the w

    Myla’s POV I woke up the next morning snuggled up to my love. I didn’t want to move but morning sickness had other ideas. I ran to the bathroom. I really hated this part. I was sick a few times before I felt the familiar hands gently pull my hair away from my face. Reiner sat down next to me holding my hair and rubbing my back. After a bit, I felt better. Reiner picked me up and carried me back to bed despite my protests that I could walk. He gently lay me on the bed and tucked me in. I reached my hands out as he leaned in planting a light kiss on my forehead. “I will be right back; I am going to get some files from my office.” He threw on shorts before he left. I grabbed my laptop off the table. Opening it, the screen lit up. I clicked on my favorite news station. As the site opened, the headlines flashed “More killings, kidnappings, and Strange Symbols Rock Packs.” I sucked in a breath. This has to stop. I read the article, three wolve

    Myla's POV “So, what were they doing here anyway?” He hadn’t told me about any meetings. “Well, I set up a trust fund for our little one and I set one up for Evie too. I also added your name to all of my personal accounts and all of the pack accounts. That’s why Rudolph may need your signatures. Oh, and I went over available funds to turn this place into a hotel. I won’t need it since I am living with you.” I was so surprised; I didn’t know what to say. “What about when you want to come back here? You know with me and our baby of course.” He smiled; “I am keeping the penthouse as it is.” He paused. I am adding a couple of things.” “Tell me!” I whined. “I am adding a remote office for you in my office, like I said, I like the view when you are in here,” he chuckled. “The most important thing I am adding is a room for our baby, and rooms for any other pups we may have.” I jumped on him hugging him. “I love you.” He wrapped me in his arms, “I love you too.” The rest of the week,

    Myla's POVI could feel his anger coming through the bond. I didn’t care. I am an Alpha too. I will not feel like a prisoner in my own territory. I stalked up the stairs ignoring the stares from my pack.“Myla?” Barrett called.“Not now,” I snarled. I reached the door. I stormed inside slamming the door so hard I thought it would break. I heard Reiner come in a few minutes later. I heard him stomp through the suite. To my surprise, he didn’t come in here. I heard the door to the spare bedroom slam. “Fine,” I huffed, “He can stay in there forever.” A while later, Evie came in.“Auntie Myla, I’m hungry.”“Ok sweetheart.” I went to the kitchen. I made her eggs and toast with a nice cold glass of milk. No sign of Reiner. Whatever.I sat down and watched cartons with Evie. I kept looking at the door to the spare room, but he didn’t come out. I tried to link him, but he pushed me out. “Fine, have it your way.” I took Evie down for lunch with the pack. After lunch, we went for a walk. I took

You have to stay here for at least one more night. As long as everything goes well, you can go home tomorrow.” Doc looked hopeful.“Oh, on a separate note, Evie’s mom Mariah?”“What happened?” I looked between Doc and Reiner who were sharing weird looks.“Well, she denounced the pack and took off while you were out.”“What, how could she! Did she take Evie?”“No, no, Evie is still with Barrett and Jade. She left you a strange note.” Doc pulled an envelope from his pocket. As he handed it to me, I saw it had my name on it.I took it from him. Ripping it open, I unfolded it and began to read.Alpha Myla,I want to thank you for all you and your pack have done for me and for Evie. I know he is still hunting me so I must go.

    The body was a twisted mess. If I didn't know it was a werewolf, I would think someone had slaughtered something. My stomach lurched as I did all I could to keep from being sick. "Alpha, you should go, I will inform you as soon as I find anything." Doc watched me hoping he would not have a mess to clean up from me. "Doc, Myla knows we have a body but I would like to spare her the details. I would appreciate it if we could keep her out of here." I knew Doc would agree but I felt I should confirm we were on the same page. I made my way out of the morgue, I needed to be away from the smell of death. When I stepped out into the afternoon sun, the fresh air calmed me. I knew I needed to consider all possibilities. I walked along the road back to the packhouse. I wanted to be with my mate and our daughter. I needed to know they were safe. Seeing the ferocity of the attack left me with an urge to hunt down those responsible. When I got closer to the packhouse, I heard laughter coming fro

    Reiner's POVI watched her look around for a minute. “Daddy, I have the pan and the sauce, what do I do now?”“Well, you let me help,” I said rolling up my sleeves. My favorite meal was stuffed shells. My mother had taught me to make them. I thought about how happy she would be if she knew I was teaching my daughter the secret recipe she had taught me all those years ago. I showed Evie the steps to make it. A while later, we pulled the food out of the oven. It smelled divine. Evie set the table. I got out the salad we had made earlier and the cheesy garlic bread. The whole place smelled like a gourmet Italian restaurant. I was about to send Evie to get Myla when she came in.“That smells divine! I am so hungry; I think I could eat the whole tray!” she exclaimed.Evie giggled. “Mommy, you would explode!” Myla laughed with her. The sound of their laughter made my heart skip a beat. The only thing that would complete this moment would be holding my son.After we ate dinner, we promised

    Reiner’s POVAs I looked at the photos with Myla, I could feel the anger bubbling up. They had hurt her, tortured her, and kept her chained to a wall as they took photos of her! What kind of sick perverts are these psychos? The Alpha Summit had been difficult, to say the least. Then, some sicko sends her these. I swear when I find them, I am going to torture them before I kill them. “Myla, why do you call them the others?” “I call them the others because that’s what they called themselves.”I wonder why they would call themselves the others. “I am going to have my tech guys trace the email to figure out where it came from. Hopefully, it will provide some clues.” We landed about an hour later. Myla was quiet the rest of the flight. I assumed she was exhausted. As we left the jet, Barrett hopped out of the waiting car holding Evie. “Myla, Reiner, welcome home!” He smiled happily. “We have missed you!”Myla lit up as her eyes landed on our

    Myla's POV Reiner rubbed my back as Beverly continued to hug me. After another minute, she looked at me. “You are amazing Myla. Don’t you ever forget it. If you ever need me, please contact me, ask me to come to you, come to me, I will not let Dominic keep me from you like he kept me from your mother. I owe her that.” “I will,” I promised. We talked about other things for another couple of hours. I was sad when Beverly left. Reiner sat next to me. “Are you ok Babe? I know it isn’t easy to talk about any of that.” “I’m ok. I am tired though.” It had been a long day. I needed a nap. I stretched and then stood up to go lie down. Sam and Wade were looking at me with some foreign expression. When I was in my room, Reiner came in with a glass of water. He set it on the table next to me. “Hey, what’s with them?” I was confused by their look. He smiled proudly. “They have always respected you, but now that they know what you have been through, they not only respect you as their Alpha, b

    Myla's POV I sat happily waiting for the meeting to start. My little baby bump was getting lots of attention from the Lunas. I could only imagine what the other Alphas were thinking. Luna Beverly, Alpha Dominic’s mate asked if she could feel the baby. She had been waiting for grand pups, but her son and her daughter had both decided to wait. We chatted as her mate made his opening speech. “You are absolutely precious dear. I wish I had been brave enough to wear comfortable things when I was pregnant. Instead, I was taught to dress appropriately regardless of how I felt. Don’t ever let someone change you.” She smiled sadly. “Silence please,” Alpha Dominic boomed through the speakers. “We have with us, the lead investigator who has been combing through evidence trying to find the one responsible for all of the attacks. A frail-looking older gentleman stepped on stage. He stood next to Alpha Dominic looking around as if hoping he would notice something. “Ladies and gentlemen, please

    Myla’s POV The doors closed and I was alone. I didn’t care too much because I can take care of myself. As the elevator reached the second floor, Alpha Gill stepped on. I didn’t say anything. He pushed the button for three. I tried to remember what floor he had got out on last night. He stood between me and the control panel. I watched in horror as he pushed the emergency stop. The alarm went off. He turned to face me as he spoke. “You should have listened Myla. I would have been a good mate. Our pack would have been unstoppable if you had listened to me.” He growled. I could see his canines sinking from his gums as fur sprouted on his knuckles. “Let me out,” I growled my own canines appearing. I couldn’t shift as it is too dangerous for the baby, but maybe I could intimidate him. “No, you ruined my plans to control the most powerful pack there is.” His eyes turned black as more fur sprang out. “Let me out now!” I tried my Alpha command on him. He laughed. “Your pitiful Alpha com

    Reiner's POVI looked through the council records to find a list of allies. The only way the packs would agree to a council is with total transparency. All council records were accessible by all the Alphas. The members of the council could only serve for 2 consecutive years. If no one ran for a seat that was becoming vacant, it would simply sit empty. The Alpha Summit was put in place for the Alphas of all the packs to be able to discuss issues with land or borders, problems between packs, attacks, or threats. I looked at the clock. It was nearly 6. The banquet starts at seven. I stretched, pushing back in the chair, I stood up to wake up Myla. I opened the door to find she was awake.“Hey, would you grab my dress from the closet?”She sounded tired. I couldn’t blame her. She had been through a lot recently. I went to the closet to get it. “Which one is for tonight?”“The black one, with the long sleeves.”I carefully moved her clothes around. “What shoes do you want?” I might as wel

We lost a lot of time with her. I know buying stuff won’t change it but now that I know about her, I won’t ever leave her. If I want to spoil her, I will.Myla stood watching her. I could feel her happiness through the bond. I never knew I could love someone as much as I loved the three of them. I know my son isn’t here yet, but I love him already.Later that night, lying in bed with Myla, I asked what names she liked for a boy.She rolled over to face me. “I was thinking Reiner Jr.” she smiled.“No. The world can only handle one of me. I was thinking about naming him after Barrett’s father. After all, he played a huge part in your life.”“I am honored you want to name him after him. He did a lot for me.

When Reiner explained he had been tricked too. I wanted to find those responsible and rip out their throats. It hit me like a ton of bricks. The little girl I had grown to love is mine, she is my flesh and blood, born from something stolen from me. I would never blame Evie. She is the most innocent one in all of this. I suddenly needed to hold her, to tell her who I really am. She was chasing birds. I took off running to her. I scooped her up and held her to me. I could feel her heartbeat against my chest. My little girl. The little girl stolen from me. I was tortured for her to live. At that moment, I knew it didn’t matter. She is mine. “I love you my little Evie.” She looked at me funny. “I know, I love you too mommy.” She hugged me tightly. Reiner caught up to us, wrapping himse
