“Well, actually Joaquin truly was the first to know.”

“What’s that supposed to mean?” She looked at me with confusion.

“He’s the one that enlightened me. He noticed before I did.”

“Well, that’s usually how it happens though, isn’t it? The father can detect the scent change in the mother.”

“Yeah, I know, but it had never even crossed my mind that it was a possibility until he told me.”

“Girl, with the way you look at each other, we’ve all just been waiting for this news.” She laughed at me.

“We’re not that bad, are we.” That seemed to make her laugh harder.

“Seriously Rivi, have you not noticed how obvious you two are around each other since you got back?”

“No.” I shook my head. “Are we awful?”

“No, it’s really sweet and makes all of us happy for our Luna and Alpha.”

“God, I might just die of embarrassment now, if everyone knows that much about my sex life that is.”

“No one knows details, well besides me and the tidbits you’ve shared.” She grinned. “But we can tell how much in love the two of you are, and everyone can tell you’ve definitely mated for real now.”

“No, Juniper.” I covered my face in embarrassment.

After my mortifying talk with Juniper, I got small gifts for Paul, Cedar, Carter and Noah as well. I just hoped Noah didn’t get too angry with Joaquin, he’s been super protective for the last few months.

When I got home from shopping I found Joaquin waiting for me in our room. He seemed like he was worried about me.

“Where have you been?” He yelled at me.

“I went to lunch with Juniper.” I told him, not sure why he was so mad.

“And who went with you?” He demanded.

“Well, no one.” I hung my head as I understood why he was so mad. “I only went to lunch and the mall really. I wasn’t in any danger, and I wanted to have a private conversation with Juniper.”

“Riviana!” He roared. “It’s too dangerous for you to be out and about on your own.” His voice thundered as he stalked toward me. “You need to be more careful. Especially now.” He placed his hand on my stomach and rubbed small circles.

“I know Joaquin, I just didn’t want anyone to over hear us, that’s all.” I felt ashamed. I had deliberately lied to and evaded my guards before I left. I knew he would be mad if he found out.

“What was so damn important that no one could hear?” He asked me.

I opened the shopping bags I had and showed him the gift I had bought for him as well. The one that said DADDY’S LITTLE PUP.

“I was buying announcement gifts, and telling Juniper about the baby. She is my best friend. And I wasn’t really alone, she was with me. We could have handled things ourselves.” His eyes got a little less angry when he saw the onesie I gave him. He was so excited to be a father, he had told me so many times the night before while holding me in his arms.

“Look, I know that you’re happy, and this is an exciting time, but please don’t go anywhere without me or one of your guards, please.” He was begging me now.

“I can’t live my whole life in a protective bubble Joaquin. Eventually, I am going to have to live more.”

“Not if I have anything to say about it.” He joked, pulling me into his arms. “I just worry about you so much, Little Bunny. I don’t want anything to happen to you or our baby.”

“I know Joaquin, and I promise that I will take someone with me next time.”

“I’d prefer it if you didn’t go anywhere.” He added in a half joking half serious voice.

“I’m not going to be a hermit or a prisoner again.” I told him firmly.

“You have no idea how dangerous it is out there right now, especially for you. If Edmond were to get his hands on you, there’s no telling what he will do.”

“And I have proven that I am not a weak little girl Joaquin. I’m not going to argue it with you. I am not going to be stuck here forever, end of discussion.” I put my resolve and conviction into those words, making them ring with power and finality.

Joaquin’s mouth closed with a snap and a gasp. He hadn’t expected my anger I’m guessing.

“One day, I need to find out why you can give orders to people you shouldn’t be able to.” He growled but smiled at me. “I would love to learn whatever tricks you seem to have.”

“I’m not doing anything Joaquin.” I told him as he buried his face in my neck. “Now back off, now is not the time.” I pushed him away making him whine like a puppy. I laughed at that.

I decided we needed to change the subject and get things moving away from me, guards, and orders.

“So, I want to have a special dinner with Lila and Grandfather soon.” I smiled at him as I thought of my plans.

“Why?” He asked me, perplexed by my suggestion.

“They’re the next two I want to tell.” I smiled at him, thinking about the reactions we were likely to get from them.

“Not your aunt and uncle?”

“I told my aunt about the wedding first, I think Lila and Grandfather will be happy they were next.”

“Why not tonight?” He smiled, he was obviously eager to spread the news too. “I can let Abigail know right now and you can call your grandfather.”

“Good idea.” I started to grab my phone. “Oh, you didn’t tell anyone did you?” I glared at him.

“The only person I saw today was Noah, and if I told him he’d probably try to kill me. No sweetheart, that job falls to you.” He smiled as he held his hands up as if to ward off the thought.

“Good, I didn’t want anyone else to know yet.

Grandfather had agreed to dinner tonight and Lila had no other plans as well. I decided that a nice dinner in the garden would be lovely. The flowers weren’t blooming yet, but it was still a beautiful night with a lovely view. Joaquin liked the idea as well, or said he did, so I went with it.

I helped Peter set up the table once it was outside. The napkins, settings, even the candles all had to be special. I selected a wine for Joaquin and the others, I couldn’t have any for multiple reasons, but Lila and Grandfather would just think of my age as the only factor. The gold plated tableware, crystal glasses, and beautiful plates were all set and looked exquisite.
