I held his hand as Charlotte rubbed the wand over my belly and he squeezed it tightly when the baby came up on the screen. He inhaled a breath and his eyes widened.

I felt him sadden greatly when he saw our baby on the screen. In the blink of an eye a little human had formed and he felt like he had lost a precious moment.

“Already so large?” He commented.

“The Luna is doing very well growing the heir. The pup is larger for his gestation and from all accounts healthy,” she smiled proudly.

It was an odd feeling knowing my people were proud of me for growing the heir, but it wasn’t something I actively try to do. I eat healthy for sure, I rest, exercise, and stretch but I’m not concentrating every second on making the baby grow big and strong.

I felt such sorrow for the Lunas who couldn’t do what I was. They indeed would have to undergo watchful stares and the knowing judgment of everyone around them, all these strangers who may have welcomed them open only to be spurned for nothing they could control.

I had been a tad bit more emotional since Grayson’s return.

“Any idea of the gender?” He asked.

He’d been so questionable about my surety it was a boy, and now he was desperate to know.

“No alpha I’m afraid not for at least another week will we know and anyways right now the baby is covering themselves too much,” she pointed out at the perfectly folded legs.

Charlotte gave me a washcloth and I wiped off my stomach.

“I don’t know how you stay awake growing that baby all day,” he k*ssed my forehead.

“Come on help me off the table,” I huffed.

He did as I asked even though I wasn’t at the point where moving was a two–person task the table was high up and I

After our appointment, we made our way to the dungeon. Jessica hadn’t been cooperating at all with us. She knew nothing about the enemy at least she claimed to know nothing, even after all we’d done to her.

The blood loss trick Id pulled proved fruitless, silver didn’t loosen her tongue, and starvation, dehydration, sleep deprivation, none of it worked to get her to speak.

Grayson was tired of no information and even the little jail rat next to her telling just to talk did nothing.

This poor man had watched our mole endure it all and he slowly came to realize that Grayson had gone east on him. He gave us what Jessica wouldn’t.
