Chapter 580

I look at Clint. “We want to start trying soon, but we’re not there yet. Maybe, the Moon Goddess will see fit to give us both pups within a year of each other. And if we’re really lucky, you’ll have a boy, and we’ll have a girl, and they will be mates one day. The future Alpha and Luna of the pack!” I say, practically bouncing in my seat and clapping my hands at the idea..

Anders and Clint laugh. “Lily bud, how about we get you girls pregnant first and we can worry about mates later.”

Не pulls me into his lap, kissing my temple. But as I look at Call, she’s giving me a thumbs up where Anders can’t see it. Perfect! We’re in agreement.

It takes six months for Cali to go into heat. When she does, everyone except Charles, Donna, Clint and I are ordered to leave the packhouse. Even I can smell Call’s pheromones and as much as I love my best friend, I would have preferred NOT to have heard her screaming our Alpha’s name all day and all night for a week.

During that time, Clint and I guard our Alpha and Luna and work with Charles to protect and run the pack. We get word of the death of Alpha Jerome’s son and also his Beta. The news that we got was that his Beta killed his own son and the Alpha’s son. Alpha Jerome beheaded his Beta for treason and banished his youngest son.

“Do you believe that?” Clint asks Charles.

“No. Alpha Jerome is vicious, cruel. There have been too many unexplained or poorly explained deaths in his pack and this is just one more.”

“I liked his Beta. He seemed like a good man when we met him at Anders‘ birthday party. Emerson, I believe his name was. I can’t imagine him killing one of his sons and the Alpha’s son. That doesn’t make any sense. Does anyone know where the banished son is?” I ask.

“No.” Charles says. “I’ve sent men out and told our patrols to be on alert. But it’s unlikely that a 12–

year-

old boy, even one with Beta blood, will survive on his own.”

When Cali’s heat finally ends, Clint and Charles fill Anders in on everything that happened while he was out. I pull Cali into my room and ask her about being in heat. My sweet friend’s cheeks go pink, but she tells me about how intense it is, how her body craved Anders‘ even more than normal.

“Be prepared, Lily. It’s intense. You don’t want to eat or sleep, you just want to…well, you know.”

I can’t help but tease my friend a bit. “Oh yes, I do know. You were screaming Anders name to the roof tops. I think they might have heard you two packs over.”

Her eyes go wide, and her cheeks turn a brilliant shade of red. “Oh my goddess, Lily. Was it that bad? I honestly was so out of it, I didn’t know and didn’t care.”

“All I have to say is, I hope it worked. If it’s that much fun to go into heat, I can’t wait.” I say and we both burst into giggles.

Two weeks later, we get the announcement. Calista is pregnant. The next day, I go off my birth control Cooper Author What do you think now, hearing the other side of Eli’s father’s death and knowing what we do about Alpha Jerome? And now Calis pregnant with Rik And we know Lily’s hope of their children being mates will eventually come true.
