76. Prepare

Sorry im late!

But hey you got an early chap the other day so be happy.

My internet has been funky and my data was off until just a min ago bc i used it all up! Ahhh! Enjoy!

Zaryn

Protective.. Happy. In love. Angry. Tired. Tortured.

The words that described my entire feelings that today has brought.

Amazing.

One word to describe my mate.

Today was a whirlwind of emotional events but the fact I have a pup in the oven... its made my wolf and myself on edge. Im growing larger.. bulking on more muscle as most mated males do when they have pregnant mates. I never experienced that with Grace because she wasnt my mate. I only became protective.

With Nova i was becoming a beast in a different sense than how i have been this entire time without her. I was becoming cruel when she left.. now with her here.. i can slowly feel myself changing to bend toward her.

. But not at the moment.. right now that beast i was before she came was peeking out at the threat imposed on my family. On my pack.

What she told me about the moon sending Deacon to speak with her.. to give her peace, answer her questions.. it made me happy for her but the fact he warned her of a war... a war that will happen during the mate picnics tomorrow - that set me off. The moon has put so much on our plates and now this? I wont have any wolf bringing trouble to my family. I will rip them to shreds..

Currently pacing my family home's living room - the one that is off limits to all pack members aside from my Luna. My mate.

I was fuming.. my fists clenched.. feral rumbles vibrating the air every now and then as i paced and thought. Nova's presence.. her eyes watching me as i moved, brought me a slight comfort as the bond sizzled.. projections of her thoughts seeping into the back of my mind.

I was angry, completely naked because i had to shift upon leaving the oracles cabin as my fury was too much for me to take.. and my nakedness was getting to her.. making my mind mush with her thoughts. I was fighting lust and anger all at the same time.

But i needed to focus right now, which is why i havent spared a glance her way because I would become distracted.

I was too angry to be the loving mate she needed me to be right now..

Angry that my mate and pup could be in danger. Angry that someone would start a war tomorrow and whoever had the balls to do it wouldn't live to see another day. I would make sure of it.

Glaring at every picture and vase that I laid eyes on as i continued pacing, i thought back to the words the oracle said.

We visited her.. but she had been expecting us. We told her what happened to Nova and she showed her the tattoo and slip of paper. Claire was amazed and stunned all at once.

Nova's vision of Deacon? Completely real.

The Moon sending her warnings? Also real.

Claire had seen the moon's will. She knew we would come to her before she would have come to us.. with the knowlege that there would be war but with which pack? No one knew.

Her interest over Nova's tattoo...

Claire said it was something she had only seen once on another Oracle a long time ago. The Moon had chosen her to carry out her justice... to bring skeletons out of closets. A warrior of sorts.. but Nova's tattoo held a deeper meaning.

It was a tattoo only the moon can give you alright.

With inscription that read: warrior of the moon, in the ancient language of the first Lycans, our descendants.

Apparently the moon had chosen Nova to become her right hand wolf. She favored her... using Nova to uncover wrongs and right them. She also made Nova stronger than your average female beta. It explains why Nova kept it together when she departed from me while I cracked like an egg. It also explains her dominance and strength and endurance. Her ability to heal faster than most females.

The moon has gifted her for her pain.. the pain the moon had allowed in order for her to serve her purpose and set things right with other wolves who held secrets...

Nova was special.

But i always knew that.

"Zaryn." Nova called out from where she perched on the sofa, legs crossed.. eyes always on me as i paced, agression rolling off me in waves.

Hearing her voice, i stopped short- glancing at her calm expression. "Zaryn. Stop growling and Come here. Please?" She patted the seat beside her.

Its amazing how this female can be so unsure of me one moment but with a little dream and my dead brothers words, she lets it all go and lets her feelings out.. all of the feelings she bottled up for me were now there like tangible tendrils of love wrapping aroud my mind. She was making her feelings for me visible now and if this war hadn't been on the way, i would be relishing in her touch and emotions right this very instant instead of being my agressive self.

Sighing, i rubbed a hand over my face and walked toward her.. bare naked. Looking down at her beautiful face, she sent me a cheeky smile. "Put these on at least will you?." She handed me a pair of boxer breifs, a smirk on her lips.

Complying, i put them on in front of her, eyes watching me. I was in a foul mood but her eyes on my body felt good.. like a slow vibration. My wolf liked that she admired our physique.

I stood, watching her lick her lips. "I dont know how you can be so calm right now when all of this shìt is happening." I sent her a glare to which her perfectly arched brows raised.

Nova gaped, "Dont you think im anxious and freaking out too!? I was just informed im the moon's warrior and we dont even know when that expires, im pregnant, im worried about you, and we are going to have war tomorrow and we dont even know with who! Ofcourse im freaking out but you being all angry and broody, storming around here naked isnt helping me focus! Jeez Zaryn!" She scoffed, shaking her head. "Im not immune to you. I cant help if i stare at what your flaunting around and cant stop." She grumbled, frowning down at the floor.

Immediately i picked her up by her waist, sitting on the sofa and positioned her so she straddled my thighs. I gazed up into her grassy green eyss. " I know you have your worries too.. im sorry. I didnt mean to snap at you.. im just...."

"You're turning into the beast?" She rose a brow.

Nodding, "yes."

She gave me a once over, "You're freaking huge now anyways. Dont know why they dont just call you the beast.." she mumbled under her breath.

Aaaaand shes making jokes again.

She shifted slightly as i rolled my eyes. I could feel her heat against my member and it wasnt helping me think straight.. i see where shes coming from now.

My hands on her thighs, she rested her hands on my shoulders seeming to think... her bright green eyes studying me. "Okay, so what problems do we have.... the war. What measures have you taken so far?" She eyed me curiously.. serious this time.

My thumbs skimmed her waist.. calming myself down as my eyes held hers. The only pair of eyes that can look at me for that long without me growling my displeasure. "Ive linked all my generals, told them of the war and what to expect. The packs will be here in just a few more hours.. the scouts are surrounding the pack lands to watch for unsuspecting or unusal activity. We have the warriors in the field training. Tomorrow during the picnic, the scouts will surround that very spot as well as the entrance areas of the parameter. Ive alerted my dad as well. He and Nic are training.. he has never battled but he can help. Ive also alerted Maxim and Gabriel. I dont know if either of them are stupid ebough to try something but i let them know nonetheless. Maxim seems to think that Conrad will attack Blake.... or that Gabriel and Conrad will go at it. But Maxim has no reason.. he said he would fight beside me as an ally so theres that.." I sighed, frustrated.

Nova nodded slowly. "And you have the females which is a smart move. No one will suspect that this pack has female warriors now."

"They arent seasoned, Nova. They just know the basics of how to get out and self defense." I deadpanned her.

She bit her lip, "yeah but at least they know something. Zaryn i need to be out there. I can help. I can take my share of males before-"

"NO!" My deep voice bellowed as my hands gripped her sides. "No. You are hiding somehwere safe. You're pregnant remember? Ya cant just put my pups life in danger like that." I growled low.. narrowing my eyes at her. My beast was returning..

She swatted at me angrily, "You heard the oracle! I'm the moons warrior! Maybe im supposed to help! You dont get-"

I covered her mouth with my hand, lying her on her back on the couch with me between her legs before i removed it... lips close to hers. "Im the Alpha. You are my Luna. This may sound sexist of me, all mighty warrior... but i cant risk losing you. I want you to stay with the mated females and pups back at the packhouse. It will be protected as well. We have far more warriors than either pack. Not trained as well... but i feel sure that Maxim will not attack me. It would have to be Conrad. I know he is your friend but- "

She glared up at me, "conrad wouldn't do that! He is my friend! And im not staying back with the mated females and pups! I can be useful Z!"

I squinted at her, "What if you broke your ribs and they lodged into your lungs and you died huh!?" I shouted out my frustrations feeling extremely and overly protective. "What if a wolf split your stomach open and killed my pup or you!?! No Nova! I wont lose you again! Not when i just got you back!!" To any other wolf, they would have pissed themselves at how vocal i had gotten.. at how loud and agressive. But Nova simply huffed and brought my lips to hers in a sweet kiss.

I was panting... seeing red... but the tingles her touch gave me was calming slightly. Lifting up the hem of her shirt, exposing her tight firm stomach, i absently imagined her swollen with my pups before i laid my cheek to rest on her skin. She allowed it, hand in my hair.. rubbing. This was where i wanted to be. This made me feel better.

"Zaryn, dont you remember what Deacon said? That we would have a happy life together? And dont you remember what Claire said? That i have the moons favor. She wont let me die, Zaryn." She tried to soothe me and it did. For a moment or two.

"The pup though." I mumbled against her skin.

She sighed beneath me. "The pup will be fine. I promise."

A moment passed between us as i tried to calm down while her fingers kept playing in my hair. "I love you." She said softly.

Leaning up, i kissed her lips before looking down into her beautiful eyes. "I love you too. I dont want you to leave me. Either of you."

"Hey. We arent going anywhere." Her hand cupped my chin, thumb rubbing my cheek. "I swear the moon wont let me die Zaryn."

Another round of silence passed between us.. just heavy breathing on my part as i tried to register the fact that my mate is the moon's warrior. How special she is to not only me, but now the moon?

"Hey Zaryn?"

I lifted my head, raising a brow. "Yes?"

"Why did you believe me? You know... when i told you about my dream of Deacon. Why didnt you just automatically think i was crazy? Why did you believe me?" She was ginuinely curious.

Lying against her skin, looking up into her eyes, i didnt even have to think about it. "Because you are no liar. I'll always believe you Nova. The conviction in your eyes says it all and ive learned with you, that anything is possible. I love you. Im going to believe you before i think you are even the slightest bit of crazy. Besides.. ive heard of wolves getting visits from their dead relatives before. You are special and i love you. I love you more than i ever thought i could ever love another person and that is dedication. Dedication and love takes trust. If i didnt trust your word, what kind of wolf would i be?" I cracked a smile just for her as the tears sprang to her eyes and she brushed her fingers in my hair softly.

"I love you Z. So much. Im so glad Deacon came to see me... he helped me. Helped answer questions.. and he helped my heart see clearly. He helped my heart where you are concerned.. whatever happens, i now know that i do love you with all of my heart and i dont want to put anymore time between us and our lives." She smiled at me.. eyes still blurry.

I couldn't help the returning smile i gave her as i held her against me.. kissing her a few times. "Im so glad you trust me now. That you trust my feelings for you. You know I love you. Ill have to thank my brother"

Something territorial took over inside of me just as Jack linked with me that two more hours until show time. I needed to be reassured by my Luna. If something happened to me.. or her...

My eyes narrowed at nothing inparticular as i got up, helping Nova to a sitting position. "I have to go check on the warriors. We have two hours. I need to train. YOU." I held her chin between my fingers, "you just get ready to greet the packs with me. Their housing is already set up. I just need you to look pretty which you manage to do without even trying. I love you sweetheart." I bent down, kissing her one last time.

Her eyes lingered on me as i got up from the sofa, "Zaryn? We need to be careful, okay? Just... lets think of all possibilities. You and I. Lets brainstorm after the packs get here.... see who is agressive towards whom."

"Good idea. Ill come retrieve you from your parents house when its time but i really want you to stay with me tonight. Here. Where we will be safe. Please? For my own sanity?" Im sure the look on my face was desperate as she just nodded her head and smiled.

One last kiss and i was out the door, heading to the training field where Nic and our dad would be.

Maxim and Gabriel were already on their way there.

I pray to the moon we see whatever is about to come... before it happens.

Nova

Zaryn left out the front door moments ago and i was still sitting on the couch in his parents old family home... looking around at all the memories that hung on the walls.

I remember having family dinners here as a pup.

Now Zaryn wanted me to live here with him.

Theres no more caution on my part. I would take this next step with him once we made it out of this war... whatever happened.... i knew we would be okay. The moon has said so.

It made me smile... how he automatically believed me when to any other wolf i sounded like a crazed loon. But my mate believed me... he's truly my soul mate.

Closing my eyes, i silently prayed to the moon that we are able to see what is coming to us. Zaryn is so worked up that he is bursting at the seams.. his Alpha wolf getting the best of him.. making him think i need to hide somehwere.

I cant hide!

Im the moons warrior!

My wolf was puffing up with the recognition but i brushed her off. This wasnt a time to gloat over being high ranking in the moons eyes.

This was a time of critical attention.

Zaryn's going to be mad... but i need to call Conrad. I have to. Because I feel in my bones that he would have nothing against our pack.. i needed to talk to him.

Taking out my cellphone, I clicked through the numbers, landing on Conrad. I haven't talked to him in a while but thats all about to change. I have to stop shutting people out for fear that i will lose them somehow.. for fear that they will leave me. Eden and Grace too. I need to let them back in.

The line rang a few times before he picked up.

"Alpha Conrad." His gruff intro had me smirking... always business.

"Con con its me." I tried and failed to hide my laughter as a low growl emitted through the phone followed by a chuckle.

"Hey there. I was wondering if i would ever hear from you again.. how have you been little warrior?"

I smiled, "Good.. really good actually. " i didnt want to tell him about the pup before i told anyone else.. my mom would be hurt.

"Im glad. You deserve happiness. Is that mutt treating you okay?" I could sense the smirk on his face as he spoke.. he always had the ability to sound menacing when he was really smiling through his words...

"Yea." I laughed. "Hes actually... great." I sighed. He really is. My mate is everything to me.. it feels good to finally let my heart open to him.

"Good. Worried i was gonna have to teach him some manners when I got there. Hey you know we're on the way right? We will be there in about two hours. The mate picnic.."

"Yeah i know. That's why im calling you. Look... Zaryn doesn't know im calling so im trusting you to keep silent. I don't want to hide this from him but i need to ask you..."

"What. What is it?" He seemed on edge.

Inhaling, i blew out the breath "Do you have any animosity for Blake still? I know you were angry about Grace... but you know Blake is out of pack life now. Forced to live on the other side of the lake.. and-"

"Nova. No. That mutt got what he deserved. Theres no need to worry. Im not gonna go after him .. why are you asking this?" He grumbled.

"Dont take offense.. it's just... the moon showed me a vision... and... tomorrow someone is going to attack us. We dont know who... Maxim is bringing his pack but he is an ally of ours and he wouldnt.. and i know you wouldn't either but.. i had to ask. Theres no reason for either of you to want to start a war and im at a loss of who it could be!" I was desperate.. i needed the answers.. i needed our pack to be on the top of things.

A moment of silence passed. "A vision? Nova.. you arent an oracle.. how-"

"Im the moons warrior. She dubbed me with this fancy tattoo upon waking from the dream. It was real. We went to see our pack oracle afterwards... so i know what is to come will come Conrad..."

He was silent a moment more before his gruff voice came back over the line. "Im bringing my warriors. Whatever happens.. we will fight by your side. I know you aren't one to jest... so i will give you the benefit of the doubt."

I sighed in relief, "thanks conrad."

He paused once more. "Will Gabriel be there?"

"Um.. yea he's the general.."

"Have you asked him his feelings of my arrival?"

I frowned. This was the other possibility that Zaryn mentioned. "Well no but he has penelope and-"

"It doesn't matter. Maybe he will try something with me... if that happens... I will take him out Nova. Make sure he knows that. Make sure maxim knows that.." his voice was hard.

"I will but Conrad that wouldn't start a war. Whatever is coming... it will be bigger than a small dispute." I reasoned with him.

He sighed loudly over the line. "Well. If you are correct, then its not me you have to worry about.. but Gabriel does harbor issues with me because of Cilla. But whoever comes.. we will fight by your side.. for your sake. Not Zaryn's. For all i care, that little shit can-"

A low warning growl came from my wolf. "Careful Conrad. That's my mate."

He chuckled lowly. "Alright alright. I see you two have made up... alright. Well you have my word and my allegiance while we are guests on your land."

Releif swept through me as i relaxed. "Thank you Conrad. I owe you. It will happen tomorrow at the picnic from what i know.. from what the moon had told me."

"We will be ready.." the line went quiet. "So... you really are the moon's warrior? Ive seen one in my entire life. Its a huge honor to be chosen by the moon, Nova. But now i can see why she would choose you." Pride was in his words. Afterall, i was once his student.

"Thank you, Conrad. I mean for everything.. thank you." Tears blurred my vision from the memories of the times he helped me through my pain... how he cared. Despite his ulterior motive.. he was there for me.

"Yea yea." He brushed it off. "I have the girls with me. We will be there in a while. Grace and Ede are excited to see you.. "

"Im excited to see them too." I laughed lightly.

"Well we will see you soon buttercup.. ill tall to you later. Dont worry... we will all be fine."

Conrad always made me feel better. "Okay thank you. And remember... not a word to Zaryn.. im going to tell him... i just need to think how i should approach the topic."

He chuckled. "Okay. Lips are sealed. Bye Nov."

"Bye." I clicked the red icon, ending the call as i got up from my seat.. pacing as i bit my thumb nail.

How was i going to tell Zaryn that i called Conrad and he isnt the bad guy?

He's sure to get angry but its not like he will hurt me. Im his mate.

Now that i finally have the mind link established, i could just tell him now.....

Screw it.

Hey Z.. I just called Conrad. Dont be mad. But he isn't who we have to worry about. He pledged his allegiance to fight along side us should anything happen and said he isnt worried about Blake. He said you should make sure gabriel doesnt still harbor any feelings towards him though. Just a thought. I figured he would let it go since he has penelope and shes pregnant but im just ticking off things to do. Dont be mad i love you!

I shut the link off as soon as i could sense his feral angry growl come through the line. I knew he would be angry....

But it had to be done.

Despite all the anguish of the unknown... i was happy about seeing Eden and Grace. I wonder if Eden would bring her boyfriend or whoever it is that has gotten her attention. It would be a sad day if the male she is with finds his mate at the picnic though....

Shoving my phone in my back pocket, i decided to go ahead to my parents and get ready to greet the packs with Zaryn. I wouldn't shower per his request.. but i at least wanted to look nice...

-------

As i stood in my underwear deciding what to wear, i couldnt help but for my mind to wander to what Deacon had said to me...

How thankful i am to the moon that she gave me that chance to see him once more and get answers.

How thankful I am that I can let go of the bad memories of him and focus on the good..

I wonder what those letters inside those envelopes said...

One for Zaryn and one for Alpha Reynold... letters i was supposed to deliver the morning after tomorrow.

Would Alpha Reynold even accept it? I doubt Zaryn would let me deliver it to him myself.. but i needed to be there.. im sure it was Deacon telling him how sorry he was..

The moon punished Deacon but she is giving him a chance... because he wasnt responsible for the way he was.. he was sick. It wasnt him.

My bedroom door burst open and a scream came from my lips as i covered myself. Peering up, there stood Zaryn.. eyes wild as his fists curled .. veins prominent as labored breaths heaved his chest. He closed the door.. coming toward me .. no shirt.. muscles engorge from fighting at the training field and tattoos dancing along his olive skin.

Relaxing slightly, i uncovered myself. He posed no threat to me. "Zaryn you scared the hell out of me. I didnt even smell you come inside!" Guess i was distracted.

He kept coming towards me.. a look in his eyes that screamed fury.

He stopped, towering over me. "You deliberately went behind my back and warned him!? He could be the enemy , Nova! You may be the moons warrior but im the Alpha! You cant ignore my fucking orders Nova!" He screamed out his frusations as his hands rested on my naked hips, only covered by scraps of cerulean lace. It seemed to calm him down slightly.

I bit my lip as my eyes fixed onto his. "I know. But you never told me not to call him.. you only suggested it was him. Im sorry but he is a friend. A good friend. I know he wouldn't want war with us and he pledged to fight beside us Zaryn! We dont know who will come. It could be an outside pack from surrounding areas! A pack that thinks you could be weak since they know you never completed the Alpha training and they could simply want our land for themselves! Think about it. Our land is the most coveted. Remember all the wolves that tried to take it when your great grandad was Alpha? Im trying to help please trust me Zaryn?" I pled at him with all sincerity i could muster.

He narrowed his eyes down at me and i couldnt stop my own eyes from wandering.. his shoulders so muscular... chest so defined and chiseled... sculpted to perfection.. large.. dominant..

He sighed "well i can't be mad when you have those images going on in your pretty head...." but his eyes were still narrowed. "You cant just defy me, Nova. What kind of message does that send? Undermining my authority isnt good for my wolf either you know.."

I gave him the puppy dog eyes.. pouting slightly. Sweeten him up a bit. "Im sorry Zaryn but.. Conrad is a friend and i know he wouldn't do that. You dont trust me enough to know that... so i had to be sure. Dont be mad.. im sorry but if i would have told you i was calling him you would have forbade it.. and i really needed to know." I bit my lip again because i knew what it did to him.

He sighed, his head falling back as his hands roamed over my bare ass.. the lace thong i wore.. he was picturing ripping it off of me along with my bra and taking me.. images of it portrayed in my mind. I felt my lips lift at the corner and ran my fingertips down his sweaty torso.. feeling the muscles.

Zaryn groaned, gripping my ass before taking my wrists in his hands, eyes falling to mine as our fingers interlaced. "You cant do that again Nova. It messes with me.. You're lucky that im not jealous right now because i would be if you werent standing in front of me half naked with that look in your eyes.. i know you're mine but I harbor feelings against Conrad.. he took you from me." His eyes flashed gold, telling me his wolf was just under the surface. I didn't even think about the jealousy ...

My eyes widened slightly and i stepped into him.. pressing my body against his. "You dont have anything to worry about. Really. I promise. And im sorry... but dont think he took me away. I asked for his help. Its not his fault. You are both Alphas and you need these allies. Im sorry okay? You know i love you..." i wrapped my hands around his neck, pulling him down to press my lips against his.

He groaned.. hands going back to my ass.. a pained expression on his face as i pulled away. He was hard and was pressing himself into me which caused me to giggle.

We were acting like a normal mated couple.. it was as if nothing had ever happened. And it was all thanks to Deacon.

His eyes opened.. brushing a lock of hair away from my face. "You will be the death of me. I know you're mine. No more secrets or going behind one anothers backs. Now tell me... what did he say?" He was more calm now, thanks to my near nakedness.. i think i should always be in underwear when we argue...

I explained to him the conversation with Conrad word for word as he reluctantly let me go so i could dress.. he glared at the dress as if it had done him wrong... which in his eyes it had. Because it covered my skin.

Sitting at my vanity, i applied the finishing touches with makeup and fixed my hair as he stared at me through the mirror, sitting behind me on the edge of my bed.. listening to my words.

"So you believe him? That he doesnt want to seek his justice on my dad?" He rose a brow..

Smiling softly, i turned to face him... he was so tense.. this war we had no knowlege of, only that it would come, was working on him. He has every right to be anxious as an Alpha. "I do believe him, Zaryn." My tone was soft. "He wouldn't lie about that.. he would say if he was angry at him still.. i dont think its him. I believe that with all my heart." The look in my eyes, conviction of my words.. he knew i was serious.

I watched as his hand raised to rub his face.. the muscles in his arm rippling.. coiling and lengthening. His body so heavenly.. so much more manlier than it used to be. My eyes followed the tattoos .. he looked at me with tired eyes that held lust deep within and then i noticed i was biting my lip and squeezing my thighs together.

Zaryn leaned forward, a hand going to my knee... studying me. "I promise when this is all over.... we are going to have time to ourself. But you gotta stop looking at me that way if you want me to keep my sanity sweetheart." The corner of his mouth rose slightly. "Finish getting ready. Im going home to take a shower..." he stood and i eyed him carefully. "Make sure those thoughts stay out of your head because i dont want anyone smelling your arrousal. Thats mine to smell." He smirked.

A blush crept up on my face and i stood, barefoot i only reached his chest. Our eyes met.. locked on one another. His were a swirling blue ocean and sky.. so bright. I could get lost in them. Reaching up, his thumb glided across my bottom lip before holding my cheek gently. "I will take your word on Conrad but i will still have eyes on him just in case. Its.... infuriating to know someone will start a war on our land while we have two different packs as our guests. In my mind, i know it will be one of them. They may not have intentions to set off a war but things always happen.. we have to be on alert because anything could set one of them off and then shit will hit the fan. Gabriel said that he doesn't want to take Conrad out on that kind of level so its not him.. he wont start a war. He may mess with him but that would be all. I don't want this war or whatever it is to happen.. but i will fight tooth and claw to protect everyone. But i still want you safe." He leaned down.. pressing his lips to mine.. the tingles it gave me calmed me. His hand made its way to my belly.. softly caressing me. Our pup. It gave me butterflies when he touched me... to see how much more he cared for our pup.

A frown made its way to my forehead as he pulled away.. "Zaryn you cant just demand i sit by idly..."

Stepping away from me he headed towards the door.. walking backwards so he could watch me, determination in those blue eyes. "I can and i will Nova. Like i said before. The moon's warrior or not. You are still mine. And i wont lose you or our pup. I love the both of you too damn much. You cant expect me to let you fight. You are pregnant and you can't shift right now. It will harm the pup even if it's only a bunch of cells, its still our pup. The moon may say we will live happily but i wont risk your life. You'll go where i say, Nova. When the fight breaks out... i will give an Alpha's order to keep you safe. Believe that." He growled as i stared at him in disbelief.

"Zaryn!" I stepped forward but he held his palm up.. the look in his eyes telling me not to test him.

"End of discussion Nova. Dont try to play the martyr here. Finish getting ready. Ill pick you up when im done." With that he walked out of my room, closing the door behind him as i gaped at it.

Anger surged through me and i let my walls down just so he could feel it..

The nerve of him!

I get he loves me but this is the moon's will! She chose me to deliver justice and obviously she wanted me to be apart of this or Deacon wouldn't have come to visit me!

Glaring at the door, i crossed my arms. He would not order me to do sh!t because tomorrow, im going to stay far away from him and keep my walls up.

I understand this is wearing on him and it will probably bring the beast out of him when this fight goes down.. and hes right. Anything could happen despite both Alpha's saying they are on our side.. but he cant do this. He can't just tell me i cant be apart of it when im the reason he knows about this. I can be useful. I can help!

Im the strongest female warrior we have!

Im third strongest of the males too!

I sighed, glancing down at my belly as i rested my hands on top.. rubbing.

"Little pup... your daddy is sometimes just so aggravating.. and mommy is a rule breaker. Hopefully you inherit our good qualities and not the bad ones."

Sometimes i forget im even pregnant.. as if it hasnt sunken in. Like its not real.

I would keep my pup safe though.

Zaryn doesn't need to worry about us.

We will be fine.

Dun dun dun

So you guys still thinking of which pack it could be? Each alpha swore their aliance but lile z said.. anything could happen at the picnic... we never know who will piss off who.

And awwww at the relationship between z and n. They act like a real couple now..

With real fights.

Poor Z is worn out worrying over his pup, nova and the war. He needs some rest and some lovins. Poor guy.

And nova.. well zaryn wants to keep her and the pup safe but stubborn ass nova is trying to put herself in harms way bc she believes she was shown the future for a reason and that she can help. Its true she is a magnificent fighter. No one really knows how magnificent... yet. We justknow she baaaaad. But nova, shes gonna be stubborn and give alpha x a headache before its all over with.

And i was goinf to put the alphas packs arrival in this chap but decided to play a little on their relationship so you'll see that in the next chap!!!!!!

Eden and Grace will b here!

We will see a lot more of eden now too.. and her pov is gonna pop back up.

After the fights break out.. then we will have some dead characters and some wounded. Any guesses as to who those dead characters will be!?

Come on... who do you think im killing off!?!?!?!?!

Guess!!! Out of everyone.

And someone we love gets fatally wounded. Will they make it?

Xoxo
