“Yes” he responds quietly. “It took me a while to figure out, but when you said you’re so tired it all makes sense. I’ve been feeling overwhelmingly tired, but I’m physically not, I know it’s not my own feeling and can separate it. I know Gammas are linked to the Luna normally, but when I asked Theo and Flo they both said they weren’t, they just have a family bond with you.”
“Interesting” I muse.
“But that’s not exactly why I want to talk in private, but you must know I’m privileged to have that bond with our Luna” he says with a proud smile.
“So what is it you want to talk about?” I ask him again.
“I’ve also been feeling incredibly hungry alongside your tiredness” he says slowly.
“Sorry for my appetite?” I ask in confusion.
“No” he shakes his head as he flushes slightly. Sensing his nerves, I reach out my hand to grasp his.
“Laurence, .what’s wrong? Just say it.” I say gently.
Taking a deep breath, he looks at me before speaking, “if Jax and you have spoken about this and decided to speak to me about it at a later date, then I apologise for asking.”
“Ok…” I say with a frown.
He smiles slightly before his next question makes me freeze in shock, “Luna, .are you pregnant?”
Nova POV:
Time stands still as I gape at Laurence while he looks at me nervously. Pregnant? I mean I couldn’t be..could I? I had had my shot a few months ago and had previously arranged with the doctor to have my next one which wasn’t yet due.
“P, .pregnant?” I stutter in shock.
Offering me a small smile he shrugs, his eyes filled with concern for me.
“Yes pregnant. Naomi was the same, very tired and quite emotional” he explains. “Plus the amount of food she puts away amazes me. I mean I know she has two growing pups in there but damn! I never knew watching a woman eat so much would make me so ecstatic.”
Letting out a quiet chuckle I sit back in a daze. “Do you think you could be?” He asks again softly.
“I mean…maybe? But surely I would know? I can sense pregnancies really early on, I mean you saw me with Naomi and Alice. Wouldn’t I smell different?” I ask him in confusion.
“Well..yes” Laurence admits slowly.
“And I don’t do I?” I ask him quietly.
“Not to me you don’t no” he tells me. “What has Kia said?”
Pursing my lips, my brows furrow as I realise she has kept decidedly quiet when he asked me. “She’s been very quiet recently, she told me she was tired.”
“Tired?” He asks with a quirked brow. “She’s a Guardian
Wolf Nova.”
“And?” I laugh.
“She’s stronger than any wolf I know, she fought in that battle against Charles and Cedric like a machine, no one could stop her. For her to say she was tired is strange in my opinion, especially after the bond of true power snapped into place” he explains.
“I thought it was because of the bond, because she came into use of more of her powers.” I trail off as I realise the ridiculousness of what I just said.
“Ki…?” I ask her quietly, my mind racing as I try to gather my thoughts.
“Yes” She whispers back to me.
“Yes? I repeat questioningly.
“We are having a pup” she tells me quietly. “I have been protecting us.”
“Protecting us?” I repeat, once more questioning her as my heart races at this new knowledge.
“Hiding our true scent was one of the ways I did so” she admits as I gasp quietly in surprise. “With everything that’s gone on with Mila I didn’t want you to lose focus or to distract you and our mate while we were away. I wanted to tell you..”
Seeing Laurence watching me closely, I feel my eyes well up as my hands begin to shake. “Luna?” He asks, his voice barely above as whisper.
“I’m with pup” I breathe as his eyes widen in surprise before his mouth splits into a large grin.
“You’re pregnant with our future Alpha” he smiles excitedly as I simply stare at him in shock. “That’s wonderful.”
Hearing that, my leg begins to jiggle as my worry then begins to appear. Jax and I had agreed that after dealing with Charles and Cedric then we would try for a pup, but learning he was then being geared up to be the next Alpha King along with Mila having been forced to go with Bruno, we hadn’t gotten round to discuss when or if now was a good time.
“Is it a good time Laurence?” I ask him, my voice low as I ask him that question. His smile falters slightly as his eyes narrow before he replies.
“Having a pup and creating our Alpha’s heir is an amazing thing Nova, I know Jax and you were going to try for a pup once the time was right..but clearly the pup didn’t want to wait for you to find out when that would be” he starts softly. “I believe that with everything that is going on, hearing you’re having a pup will bring happiness to many, many people.”
“But Jax becoming Alpha King will make him a focus of everyone for the next few months especially. There is also the fact that I’m a Guardian Wolf, we have already dealt with one threat and we don’t even know if the other witches and hunters are still after me. what if they are? What if they can use this situation to their advantage and I’m endangering our pup?” I reel off, my voice growing higher in pitch the more I say.
“Stop,” Laurence says sternly, his voice quiet but full of conviction. “A pup is a blessing, especially one made from the bond Jax and you share. One thing I can assure you of, is that Jax will do anything in his power to keep you and his pup safe, never mind what we all would do as members of your pack. But also, you’re underestimating yourself, you are formidable Nova. Incredibly strong and powerful, I know for a fact that if you throw being a mother in there, you will be unstoppable. A mother’s protectiveness of her pup is one of the most powerful things anyone can witness, no one messes with a mama wolf, never mind one that’s as badass as you.”
“But I won’t be able to shift Laurence,” I whisper. “What use will I be in times of need?”
“You are so much more than just your wolf Nova. You are our Luna. Your words alone carry a weight a lot of us would struggle to bear, you are the calm in the storm and the light in the darkness. You’re our voice of reason and our beacon of hope,” Laurence exclaims.
