“Tell us what you saw in your dreams,” Amaria asked us, she looked between me and her son and I nodded to Grayson.

to tell her.

“Annette was calling for me. I ran through the forest to find her. When I came to a clearing she was tied to a log and lit on fire. I ran into the flames to reach her and when I touched her she turned to ash. In her place was a small Gray pup,” He told his dream to the elders. I saw the fear in his eyes.

“In mine I was laying in Graysons arms and then he started laughing at me. When I reached for him I was pushed away. Grayson defended me from whoever attacked me. When he grabbed me I felt like I was melting, my whole b*dy was just undoing itself in heat,” I explained.

“There was no pup in your dream?” Elder Benson asked me. He was Matt’s father.

“No there wasn

The image of the litter of pups from the night before our binding came to me. I didn’t say a word.

“It sounds as though you will go through your heat soon, the latest will be three months time,” Elder Belle told us. “Only one of you saw a pup which is the most common, this means you only have a chance for an heir.

“And if we had both dreamed of a pup?” I asked without thinking.

“Then it would be almost certain a pup would come from this heat. You’re an alpha female Luna, you have more power than any other female wolf. This means it takes magic to make a child in you, the best time for you to conceive an heir is during your heat or a ritual mating in the moon pool,”

I was only just starting to connect with Grayson. The thought that we may have a child between us was hard and solid thought to work through. I didn’t see how it could make any of this easier. I need Grayson and I to work on our relationship now, it has to be solid enough for a child.

“Anna?” Amaria cocked her head. “Have you had any other dreams?”

“No,” I almost snapped. “No i have not, I just am processing this news,”

“We have duties Grayson, I have my border patrol today,” I stood up still wallowing in the anxiety of a child.

“Annette?”

I know he called for me but I put up a wall. I needed my mind to myself. I need to think this through for myself before I even consider talking to him about it. I’know I shouldn’t keep this all to myself, still he was weary with me. How

could I tell him?

I walked out to the border consumed in the chaos of a life with a baby. I have always wanted to be a mother, I would love a child and I know Grayson would give his all as a father. Still we were not ready, we hadn’t even k*ssed, how

could we conceive a child?

I I was out with Charlotte and Lean today. They would walk me around the northern border patrol and teach me the signals for intruder, convoy, trade, attack, and hunt. I need to know this but to be honest I had no room for it. It went by in haze of colors, sounds, sirens, defenses, and other things I should really know.
