CHAPTER 36 SECOND CHANCE?TEDDY'S P.O.VI went to a doctor I once heard of to get some prenatal medication and an ultrasound.I was right on track by measuring just a little over a few weeks pregnant. I found out a week ago through blood tests. Strangely, werewolf pregnancies only last 3 months, which means we also detect our pregnancy early too. Lucky for me, I still had plenty of time to find a job, get a suitable home, and get all the required items for a baby before he or she gets here.It was close to dinner time, and I was tired of eating room service secluded. Therefore, I decided today I would go down to the hotel's fancy restaurant to dine instead. As I opened my door, a chiming sound sounded out. The room's door next to mine immediately opened up, revealing Tanner."Did you alarm my door?""How else am I to know if you are leaving without standing guard outside of your door 24/7? I am ordered to be at your side, so that is what I am going to do.""I don't need an escort to g
CHAPTER 37 HE IS WHAT!?FENRIS'S P.O.VI was sitting at my desk after a long day of meetings when my phone started buzzing. I looked at the caller ID, revealing Tanner's name. Normally, I call him for updates, not the other way around. That was the agreement.'Tanner, is everything okay?''Alpha, I know I have to wait for your call, but this seemed urgent.' He practically yelled in my ear.'Take a breath to calm down, then tell me what it is.'He took a deep breath and released it before he spoke again.'So, there are two things. I am not sure which is more important news.''Go on.''Teddy finally left her room other than the visit to the doctor.''Good, that means she is less angry.''Well, she revealed that her condition is that she is preg -''Pregnant. I've done my digging. I plan on addressing that when I come to see her. I was only waiting for her to calm down some so that when we speak again, she can understand why I had to do what I did and maybe she will be more likely to tak
CHAPTER 38 BREAKFASTTEDDY'S P.O.VThe next morning, I got up not wanting to go on this date. The last thing I wanted to do was to date someone, especially while being pregnant with another man's child. What does that make me?'Adesirable woman.' Gemma stated.'Desirable or not, why would another Alpha want a pregnant Luna whose child is not destined to take over their pack?''Maybe he doesn't mind?''From my personal experience, they mind. I will be damned if he treats my child even half as badly as my own father treated me.''I would never allow it!' Gemma roared in my head.'Good, something we agree on. We will go on these dates because we agreed to give him a chance. But we can't be closed-minded to him possibly having ulterior motives.' I had an off feeling about what he really wanted from me.'Right.' She responded.I began to try to tame my wild hair. I took some products from my bag to lay on my bathroom counter as I began to dampen my hair to work some magic.'Speaking of whi
CHAPTER 39 INTERUPTIONFENRIS'S P.O.VI sat there waiting for Tanner to send me an update. I wasn't wasting time; however, I was also looking in the archives for any possible loopholes that I could use to change the way the Elders had so much control over the King's life, they didn't need control over who, what and when it happened. I wanted to change the restrictions on fated mates, change the idea of what makes a queen be qualified. The moon Goddess wouldn't have given a king a fate mate if the bond weren't supposed to benefit the kingdom. I had been looking for days with no success, even before I had mentioned it to Uriah. Maybe a fresh set of eyes will help find something we could use."It's 6:45am, Fenris, our meeting starts in 15 minutes. We should probably head there.""Okay." I said as I put the papers down.We made our way to the other side of the palace to go endure yet another pointless meeting. I sat in my normal seat waiting for everyone else to arrive. Once we were all p
CHAPTER 40 WATCHINGTEDDY'S P.O.VI stood up from my seat pissed off. The audacity of this man was beyond me."You literally have no boundaries, do you?""He needed to remove his hand.""He didn't need to do anything. Who do you think you are coming here and acting like this?""Your mate, that's who!""You lost that right, when you rejected me in front of that group of people!" I screamed out, infuriated with his bullshit at that point.How was I supposed to move on if he wouldn't let me?"He is just doing what an Alpha would do over his mate, love. Don't worry. I take no offence. Once you accept his rejection, he and his wolf can let the bondgo and move on as well." Liam spoke up next to me.I thought about his words for a moment. My wolf, however, wined at the idea of accepting his rejection."You're right, its time I let it go... I Teddy Hemenes accept... -"Before I could get the words out, a hand covered my mouth. Fenris had made huge strides across the room so he could stop me
CHAPTER 41 SAFETY FIRSTTEDDY'S P.O.VAs much as I wanted to believe it was some joke, I couldn't take the chance. I wanted to take the next step with Liam, but I wasn't sure that the next step was to move in with him. We had only been seeing each other for 3 weeks, but the note left me with no other option. I couldn't risk the safety of my child, the safest place for me was at Liam's side. He would let no harm come to me or my unborn baby. I, of course, still had Tanner, and then two guards from Liam's pack. But this intruder managed to get into my room without any of them knowing. Tanner went wild trying to find out who it was. There was no trace of a scent left behind, nor did any security cameras catch anyone entering or exiting my room. Which made me more terrified.I paced my room waiting for Liam to return my call when my phone started going off. I quickly answered without looking at the caller ID."Liam, thank god, something has happened." I said, but the other line was dead s
CHAPTER 42 NEW BEGINNING'STEDDY'S P.O.VI couldn't get the faces of all those men, women, and children out of my mind. It’s not medieval times. Why on earth would he behead someone then spike their decomposing heads down his pathway? He never seemed like that kind of person when we were together. There must be a good reason for those sorts of actions."That is disgusting." Tanner muttered my exact thoughts as we kept driving down the road."I am sure he had a good reason for what he did." I tried defending. But not really believing my words myself."Or just a power-hungry man wanting to show dominance to those inferior to him." Tanner replied, his eyes never leaving the road.I bit my lip to not say anything. We passed by another face which in turn made me sick to my stomach. The child looked no more than 4 years old. Why would this be something worth displaying? What could a child do so badly that would warrant this?"He is a fucking monster. Luna Queen, please reconsider. We can tu
CHAPTER 43 FINDINGSTEDDY'S P.O.VOnce I got Tanner safely out of Liam's pack lands, I felt relief wash over me. I had him now going to go do a special mission for me.'I wish we could've left with him. This doesn't feel right being here.''I think this is exactly where we are needed.'Once back at the packhouse, I entered to hear more whispers. I liked being able to hear. I didn't realize the benefit of hearing until Celeste gave me the gift. I don't think those who can hear realize how beneficial it is. They definitely don't cherish it like they should, that's for sure.I started walking around aimlessly, not really lost, more like snooping. Getting a feel of the home. I needed to know the place in and out for my own benefit."My love, where are you going?" I heard Liam's voice call out. I let go of a door handle and whipped around."Sorry, I just returned from escorting Tanner out. I must've gotten lost. I cannotseem to find my room." I replied, lying."And where is your maid? She
