I sigh as I look out of the window of the SUV, I have been reading a book for new mums and so far it has kept me pretty entertained. We are just hitting the last hour or so of our journey to the Moon Gathering.

“I need to pee.” I tell Fraction, the two warriors in the back let out long drawn sighs. I turn to look at the both, “do you guys want a pup dancing on your bladder?”

“No Luna.” They say, I have found that if you mention anything to do with being pregnant these men shut up pretty quick.

“There is a service station about thirty minutes from here.” Fraction says reaching over and taking my hand, “can you wait?”

“No, I have to go now. Pull over and I’ll find a spot.” With this trip I have found that I will pee literally anywhere I have to. When Fraction stops the SUV I pull the small pack of tissues out of my bag and climb down to the grassy edge we have pulled up to. I wait for Fraction and he leads us into the small patch of trees and bushes. He has insisted on going everywhere with me since starting the trip. Once I find a bush I walk behind it and squat down to do my business as Fraction stands with his back to me.

Once we are back on the road I pull my book out and start ready about how to correctly dry your baby after a bath. I had no idea babies were so complicated, apparently if you don’t dry them properly they get little sores under their arms, in their neck, pretty much anywhere with a crease. I close the book and turn slightly in my chair to look at

One told me she vaguely remembers living in Hati in her youth. Another was still just a pup at sixteen years of age, Alpha Steven is taking care of her now with his Luna and the male has been exiled as far as I am aware. The fourth was this Omegas mother. She was bought by her father and kept as a slave until the day she birthed her, she was then killed. This left this Omega in an abusive home until she was rescued by the surrounding packs. Her brother, John was the one who was in league with Callum and helping with
