Все главы Preferred by the Luna : Глава 11 - Глава 20

Quincy packed his bag with quiet anticipation. The last two weeks had been hard for him; he felt pulled in two different directions lately. He was glad to be part of the investigation with Alpha Liu's team, but he worried about Emma the entire time. He knew she was much more capable than he gave her credit for, but he didn't like feeling as if he was abandoning her to take care of everything on her own. He was worried about how the stress of it all would affect her and the baby. So far the pack hadn't had any major problems, but there was always the chance that someone would see this situation as an opportunity to take control and challenge Emma. Without Alpha Daryl or him there, she would have to fight the challenger herself. Quincy shuddered at the thought. He threw his pack over his shoulder and shook hands with the rest of the team. "You guys are amazing. Great work. I will be happy to report back to the Luna that we have captured three men involved. I suspect she will want to c

Quincy paced in front of the door, wondering how much longer she was going to be. He could pick up faint noises, but the room was almost soundproof. He didn’t think she was in danger, but she had been in there too long. As he debated interrupting her, the door finally opened. Emma stood in the doorway covered in blood. Quincy rushed up to her, “Luna, are you okay?” Emma nodded, “It’s not my blood. I left them alive. I think I have all of the information we are going to get from those three. I will leave them for the team to deal with as they see fit. Leave one alive with instructions to go back to his leader with a message.” Quincy nodded, “Okay. What do you want him to say?” Emma looked at him with glowing yellow eyes. She was on the edge of shifting and at her most dangerous. He could feel the anger rolling off of her. “Tell them that the Luna of Broken Paw Pack is coming for them and not even Hell is a safe hiding place.” Quincy stepped away from her as she shifted into wolf form. H

Emma sat typing at her computer as she waited for her assistant to arrive, and her phone notification pinged. She checked her messages and read what Quincy had sent her. ‘Do you want me to go to your appointment with you today?’ She smiled softly and replied, ‘You don’t have to come, but it would be nice to have someone there with me.’ Today Dr. Adams was going to do her first ultrasound and she hoped to find out the gender of the baby. She only had six weeks left of her pregnancy and she couldn’t believe how fast it was going. Veronica interrupted her thoughts, “Good morning, Luna.” She sat at the desk across from Emma with her notepad. “Good morning. I will be out of the office for the rest of the day. I’m going to grab some lunch and then I have an appointment with Dr. Adams this afternoon. Please have the security schedule on my desk in the morning for Beta Quincy and me to review and approve. I also need a list of all active Lunas and possible guest speakers on topics that you th

Emma sat at her desk with Veronica seated across from her. “I want to know as soon as Beta Quincy makes it back here. I also need to see our visitor when she wakes up. Let Dr. Adams know that she is not to leave or have any visitors without my permission. Not even Beta Quincy. There are too many unknowns. I’ve spoken to Leo and Ivan. They are assigning Paul to guard her until we know more about why she is here. I will be leaving soon for a meeting, and I need to know that things are going to be okay here while I’m gone.” Veronica nodded and took notes as she spoke. I have a list of things I want for the nursery. Please get with the maintenance crew to get it done. Once I return from this trip, I don’t anticipate leaving the pack until after the baby is born. Please schedule any meetings to be done via Zoom or they can travel to our pack if a face-to-face is necessary. Let me think if there is anything else. This pregnancy brain is ridiculous, I’m forgetting stuff all the time and I ha

The next few weeks flew by in a blur. Emma was busy getting things ready for the baby and managing the pack. She decided to push the Luna conference off until after the baby was born. She found she was running out of energy quicker and quicker as her due date approached. Every day went the same for her, and she enjoyed the routine of it. First thing in the morning she met with Quincy and then she went to the hospital to spend time with Daryl. Then she went on about her day, dealing with pack matters. She was assigning more duties to Quincy, and she wondered if she was putting too much on him. He spent a lot of time with his newfound sister, helping her adjust to the pack. He had appealed to the Lycan King to investigate her accusations against the Haunted Moon Pack. They were waiting for an answer, not that they would have any part in the investigation, but they both wanted justice for Alice. She was strong and sweet, but often scared and unsure of how to manage her trauma in situatio
