Chapter 58: Preparations Sophie

I glad Hunter is happy that we're having a pup. I do wish he'd waited until we'd at least seen the doctor before he announced it to the pack though.

'Why? I'm sure,' Hedda purrs in my head.

'I know. I'm just...there's so much going on right now, Hedda. So much that could go wrong...

'Or right...' she says. 'You don't know what's going to happen at the Committee meeting.'

She's right and after Alpha Alaric chased the twins over our borders, it's been crazy getting ready for the Committee meeting. Kayce stayed as expected while a very reluctant Robin finally left and returned to his pack, swearing to Nikki that he'd side with us, and he would be returning on her birthday to claim her...privately.

I can see she's nervous, but she's been incredible around the pack, helping in warrior training, assisting with the patrols. She called Allison a beast, and Allison is great, but Nikki? She's all Alpha. Meanwhile, Hunter, Kayce, and I have been on the phone nearly non-stop with my father, Alpha Dutton, Alpha Robin, Alpha Calvin, and Alpha Ezła.

"How many are there again," I ask for the hundredth time. My palms are sweating, and my stomach is in knots. What if they Insist that Hunter claim me in front of them? What if they refuse to let us leave without him doing it? What if they deny me as his Luna? I can't leave Hunter. But the thought of having to have something so private, so special, shared in front of those disgusting Alphas In makes me want to vomit.

Hunter's hands come around me from behind, his lips press against the back of my head as Shaw begins purring loudly, working hard to calm me.

"Fourteen, including you and me. Twelve who will be on the voting panel. Your sister, as a Luna isn't considered a voting member," he says, kissing my shoulder. Of course she isn't. Women aren't considered equal by this Committee, even if we have Alpha blood.

"And we need a majority to keep from going to war?" I ask, knowing we have six on our side.

"Yes. Alpha Zahn is still an unknown."
