“Which would you prefer? A boy or a girl?” I ask and my voice breathy with my need for him.

He’s curled up behind me and his fingers begin working their magic, strumming my body like it’s his guitar while he murmurs in my ear, sending shivers all over my body.

“One of each? Maybe more than one of each. Knowing how much I want you every minute of the day, we could end up with an entire pack of babies if you want.”

“Well then, Guardian mine, you’d better start practicing.” I love that my mate takes his practice very

The next morning. I’m a bit tired after Clint kept me up most of the night. But my body feels amazing, if a little sore. We agreed that Calista and I would stay near Estella when the Alphas and their packs arrive. As soon as he exits his car, I can see that Alpha Benjamin is still angry at not having his chance to take me as his mate. His barely contained snarl flashes across his face when he sees Anders and Clint standing near Leander.

I would never be able to sit quietly and maintain my composure while someone outwardly seemed to be plotting against me and my child. But she does, and I know if Cali was in this situation, she would be doing exactly the same thing. The Moon Goddess doesn’t choose her children and their mates lightly and she doesn’t make mistakes.
