A pup? I’m going to be a father? It’s the next thought that makes my stomach twist into knots. Why didn’t she tell me? Is she so angry with me that she’s not happy that she’s having my pup? Is she …

The thought of her wanting to leave me nearly makes me vomit.

‘Let’s wait until she wakes up. Our mate has been through a lot. She and Echo aren’t just healing themselves. They’re also growing a pup. Our pup. I’m sure that the pregnancy is also making it harder for the two of them to heal. Echo would be using her strength to protect our pup, I’m sure it,’ Raif says diplomatically.

He’s right. Our mate would make sure that her pup, our pup, was safe and healthy. It makes Echo’s willingness to sacrifice herself for me even harder to bear. This woman and her wolf were willing to give me everything, every last part of themselves to protect me. I always knew I didn’t deserve her.

‘Then let’s make sure we DO deserve her, because she is going to have our baby and she is going to make one hell of a fantastic mother, Raif growls.

“How far along is she?” I ask Luna Yara.

“Not far. I found the results of her blood test. She must have only just realized that she was pregnant. It may also be why she wasn’t eating. I know she was busy, but women in the early stages of pregnancy can have nausea or an aversion to the smells of certain foods. It will probably be a week or less before you can start smelling the pup on her now that you know to look for it. Either her scent will become stronger or your scent on her will become stronger, depending on whether she’s having a girl or a boy,” she says.

“Are you okay, Quirin? Finding out you’re going to be a father for the first time can be a lot to take in,” Alpha Warren asks me gently.

I have a lot of shortcomings, and she’s always accepted those things about me. But now, it’s time for me to step up, to be the man and the mate that she deserves and the Alpha

But I will tell you this, she requires us to rise to the level of her expectations and we will do that. We will become the pack that she is proud to lead, to be the Luna of. We will do that for her and we will do it for each other. I have just as much growing to do as all of you. But she’s worth it. This pack is worth it. I think she will be proud of all of you when she wakes up. You either protected our pack lands or you hunted down our enemies to get our Luna
