Athena's POV

It was about an hour or so when I finally managed to get my tears under control, my mates still holding me as they did. During which no one else spoke, letting the silence fill the void.

'All is not lost my dear... While things have taken a turn for the worst with the Moon Walker Pack, we still have our mates. Our home is now with them and the Mystic Shadow Pack' whispers Artemis, hoping to ease my pain.

But... I thought they loved me... Could Jacob be right? Did they truly not love me like I had originally thought... Could he even be right about Diana being pregnant? I mean I knew they were sleeping together but he hadn't even claimed her as his chosen, could he have been lying just to get out of punishment?' I ask her, so many what if's now running through my head. 'Enough my child. You're overthinking things. Stop Jacob never cared about us and never will. He's a prick and completely self-centered. Everything about him just screams liar. Remember the ball? How he tried to be so possessive of us? It's his way of manipulating us to control us' replies Artemis, her words words slowly sinking in as they Mulling over everything that has happened leading up till now, I completely go unaware of what's happening with me until Alarick finally speaks up, pulling me from my thoughts and in the direction of him as he does.

"So.. Pregnant? When did this happen?" asks Alarick to to his sons.

"We just found out father. Right when her heat cycle broke" admits Eros, his eyes moving to that of his father, his body never leaving mine as he does.

Humming softly, he nods only to smile soon after. "That's wonderful news my sons. Your mother will be most happy to know of this. She's been wanting Grand Pups for as long as I can remember."

At hearing that I can't help but turn my focus over to him. "For a while?" I ask, now curious behind his words, causing him to look over in my direction.

"Yes, Ever since they turned 18 and were able to find their mates. My mate has been waiting for the day she could have Grand Pups. Now both at 23 they finally have a mate and a child to boot" smiles Alarick happily warming my already broken heart. "I'm happy to be the one to help with that" I admit softly.
