“But you just met my son last month.” She didn’t look upset or anything, just curious.
“W-well-.” I was trying to come up with an answer.
“If you’re going to imply that the baby isn’t mine then you’re wrong.” Devon was defending my honor to his mother, I liked that but I didn’t want them to fight.
“I wasn’t implying anything of the sort.” She smiled broadly. “I’m just going to take a guess here, but is Ella one of the not quite normal people that live around here?”
My heart stopped beating. I couldn’t believe what I heard. Did she know about wolves and the other supernaturals?
“Mom? Why would you ask that?” Devon looked scared. “What do you know?”
“So I’m right?” She grinned. “I don’t know what all types of people live around here, but I have seen the man that runs the deli look a little too blue from time to time, and I am not referring to him being sad. I don’t think most people notice, or maybe they just ignored it. But I asked him about it one day, curious.”
“That’s dangerous Mom, why would you do that?”
“Oh Marin is the nicest man you could ever meet. Obviously he didn’t tell me what he really was, but he did tell me that there were a lot of people around here that were not quite normal. He said to just ignore it unless someone was telling me what they were.”
“Oh my Goddess.” I exclaimed, clamping a hand over my mouth.
“Oooh, I like that, so you worship a goddess then?” April looked very excited.
From there, I told my future mother in-law everything. She loved hearing what I was, and what her grandchild was likely to be. It was a strange day for sure, but it had also been a wonderful day as well.
I went with Devon the next month to get an ultrasound of the baby, or should I say of our identical twin girls.
It was going to be fun though tough and hectic as well, but I didn’t care. I was starting a family with the man I loved.
We were married a month after we were engaged which was also a month before the Alpha and Riviana came back to fight that evil Warlock that had kidnapped my brother. Once Riviana killed him everyone in the area was able to rest easy.
It became known at the beginning of July that Joaquin had been granted a new ability from the Moon Goddess. I hadn’t heard much about it because I was busy making dresses for some of the guards’ upcoming weddings, their mates were going to look amazing.

At the beginning of July, just after Joaquin Gray’s birthday, there was talk among the pack that he had gained a new ability. I don’t know when I started thinking of him as my Alpha or referred to that group of people as my pack, maybe it was when I married Ella or maybe it was sooner than that, but it was what it was now.
I waited a few days to see what all the rumors had to say about this new power of his before I went to see him. I went to see him on the ninth to ask him what it was I wanted. He was in his office, alone, when I knocked on the door and he told me to come in.
“What can I do for you Devon?” He really was a nicer guy than I had originally thought, so I hoped he would help me out here.
“I heard a rumor that you and the Luna were given new marks recently. The rumors say that the Goddess told you what those marks were for.”
“It would seem that the rumor mill has been working overtime.” He grinned. “Do you know what that new ability of mine is?”
“People are saying you can now turn people into werewolves.” I gave him a pleading look.
“That’s what we were told. But I am going to warn you, I definitely haven’t done it yet so I don’t know how it will go.”
“I don’t care. I want to be a wolf like my wife. Please.” I was begging him. This was not like me but I was so passionate about it. “You promised me that you would change me if you ever found out how.”
Joaquin was laughing now. Why the hell was he laughing?
“You’re right, I did promise that, didn’t I?” He gave me a knowing look. “I guess I can’t go back on my word then can I?”
“No, you can’t.” I was being a little forceful but I didn’t care, I wanted this, I needed it. Ella would outlive me if I didn’t do something. I wanted to be with her forever. And I needed to be strong enough for her.
“Alright, come with me to the basement.”
“Basement?” I was confused but I followed him anyway.
When we were in the basement I saw that there were two rows of cells, where prisoners would be kept.
“I am going to ignore these and pretend you don’t hold people against their will down here.”
“My last guests in here were trying to kill children and my mate. They were cold blooded killers.”
“Then I don’t have an issue with that.” When did my morals start to change to fit wolf law? Oh well.
“Alright Devon, take your clothes off and enter that cell there.”
“Excuse me?” I was so shocked by Joaquin’s words that I thought I had misheard him.
