The very next month after Dante and I went to the den to ask for fertility, Julia and Kevin decide that they are ready to become mates as well. I have no doubts that the Moon Goddess will bestow a mate bond upon them after all of the trieals that they have had together. They have more than earned the bond with each other.Still, I am finding it difficult not to look into Kevin's mind to find out how it is going. I may not be able to see into Julia's since she is a witch but looking into Kevin's is no problem. Except, I do not want to break into that. I keep telling myself that even a peek into this moment is an invasion that I am not going to do. "So, do you think that you are pregnant yet?" Dante whispers in my ear from behind me.We are just about to sit down to dinner at the pack house. It is something that I still have not done since the Witch Council first showed up. Ever since the Moon Goddess agreed to bless us with our fertility, I have been finding it more and more difficult
"Hey, guys. So glad that you could make it." I say smiling as we go out to join the others.Amora, Elle, Hazel, Scarlett, Quin and Ulfred are all joining us for dinner tonight. We have agreed that it is about time we all get together for something other than business. If Kevin and Julia were here it would be the entire Council but this is a night that they have been working towards for quite a while now. "Oh this smells amazing. You were right that this is going to be a great dinner idea." Amora says as she walks forward to envelope Dante in a motherly hug."Uh, actually, about that. We are going to have to do something else for dinner." I say sheepishly. Just the smell that is still lingering is enough to make me feel slightly nauseous again."Why is that, did Dante burn it?" Quin chuckles."How dare you accuse me of such a thing. From now on, everything that you eat here is going to be burnt." Dante says offended.Quin acts offended at the idea of Dante burning his food. We all kno
Dante and I ended up staying up fairly late that night. Partially because we were hanging out with friends and thinking about our future as parents. It does not feel real that I have a baby growing in my stomach but it is nonetheless the truth. The other reason we stayed up later, that we did not mention to ourselves, was that we were waiting on word from Kevin and Julia. Still, no word. I am a little more leary for breakfast than I was for dinner last night. I always thought that morning sickness would be in the morning and would not completely make me sick unless I let it. Turns out that was false. So, now here I am, trying to figure out what I should make for breakfast. Funny enough, my witch side seems to be winning out as I am leaning more towards oatmeal and less towards bacon."So, what are your plans today?" Dante asks me as he begins to make his own breakfast."Well, I need to go check on Rojo today. I want to make sure that he is one of the first ones that know about this c
Not sure why Julia would head to Morden's alone when she knows that Morden has always had something wrong in her head. No normal person would just order that an entire family, children and all, be killed out of jealousy. No normal person would decide to turn their own family's children into weapons. That is just not something that would normally be done. Why would she head there alone with news like this?I want to hurry to get to the Witch House just in case something might happen. Morden does not have magic but her other weapon is her mind. There is nothing that could be done against that so I want to be there to help Julia if she needs it. I reach out my awareness towards the earth so that I can use it to move faster. I also use the air to make my feet light and help speed me across the earth. As soon as I get my speed up to almost double what a werewolf can normally do, I get a sharp pain in my gut. I am instantly hit by a wave of nausea that forces me to slow back down.Stoppi
She whirls out of the door, slamming it behind her. Sniffling, she looks up in surprise at me."I did not realize that you were there. How long have you been there?" She asks me.Walking down the final steps I cannot help but smile at her. That had to be one of the hardest things that she has ever had to do and yet she got it done. It might not feel like it yet but she said what needed said. Now, she just needs a friend and then her new mate."Long enough to hear some of the conversation. I am sorry, I did not mean to pry on that. I heard that you were coming to talk to her and I thought that you might need backup." I said guiltily."Thank you. I don't think that backup really would have helped me in there. She seems to open up more to me since she thinks that she can control me still." Julia said."No, you did not need me because you needed to say all of that and you would not have if I had been in there with you. There is a lot that is harder to say in front of others even when the
The guys take no time at all to begin planning the party. Nobody really knows what the party is for except for the Hybrid Council. The fact that there are cupcakes with babies on them as well as a huge cake that says Happy Mates seems to be throwing off the bakery. The same can be said when Kevin went to get decorations and got some for both a baby themed party and a mating party. Now, the entire pack is excited about the party that they cannot seem to figure out.Elle and Hazel are working with me in our joint building so that we can set up a place for the party. We want everybody to have something to do while there so we are adding extra decorations. It feels like it is going to rain tonight during the party so we are also adding a canopy of thick jungle leaves on the roof so that we can stay dry.Rojo is with me for the first time since making the new pond. He has been extremely protective over his new home and has been making sure that the new occupants are all getting along and p
Once the party is in full swing, I immediately spot Hazel talking to Connor off to the side. Even though she is slightly more subdued than before I can see that she is still trying to enjoy her time with him. It is my sincerest hope that she will be able to set aside her fears for the future and continue to get to know him better. In any relationship there is the chance that things will not work out. This is just something a little more. With a more obvious time table. Dante is busy making sure that everybody is left without a clue as to what this party is all about. He keeps going around giving slight clues to both parts of the party without actually telling anybody that it is for two different couples. It is a little entertaining to watch everybody walking around speculating at what is going to come. "You know, when you came to the pack and took it over, I never expected this. I never thought that something like this could ever work." Rosa says stepping beside me. "Oh yeah? What i
As we all walk up onto the stage, everybody grows silent. They all know that this is going to be a big announcement. Many are whispering about babies and the fact that that has to be what this party is all about. What they have not realized yet is that there is so much more to this party than just a baby."Alright, everybody, thank you all for coming on such short notice. We decided on a whim to throw this party to share our joy and excitement with you all. I know that we have been keeping things a little cryptic all day but there is a reason for that. Sometimes, news is just too big to keep telling over and over. Sometimes, it needs a big announcement. That is what this is. Are you all ready to hear all of the new stuff that is happening around here?" He shouts to the crowd.They all scream back at him excitedly. They all have pretty much guessed the main idea of some of this party but nobody has been able to guess the entire thing. We are going to have to help them out on that one.
