“Mommy… Mommy…’

I frown, groaning slightly as I am pulled from the troubled dreams that were plaguing me. I open my eyes to see Zion standing there, hovering over my bed.

I almost jump, but the dull pain in my waist stops me from doing so.

“Zion… my darling, what are you doing here? Are you ok?” I ask, concern flooding me as I force myself up to sit up and cup his face as he sits there kneeling on the bed beside me, staring at me intently.

“They’re coming Mommy, you need to get up.”

My stomach twists as I try to remain calm.

“Who is coming?” I ask gently.

He looks at me intently, “Daddy and the Sable.’ he says solemnly. My breath hitches. Am I dreaming? How does he know about the Sable? And what does he mean they’re coming?

“Zion, how do you know that word?”

He tilts his head. “I always know…” he murmurs, his gaze on my stomach before he reaches out and touches my stomach. ” Mommy, we have to hurry.”

I nod, as I quickly push the covers back, a hand on my waist as I walk to the window.

Now… They decided to attack when I was injured? This couldn’t get any worse. I pick up my phone and send out a group call to all squad captains as well as all the higher- positioned warriors.

The moment the first few connect, I speak. They’re coming. You know what to do.”

“Understood. We are ready.” Justin says, as Jai curses.

“On my way.”
