When I walk back into the room, the nervous woman from before it back. “Well?” she asks.
“Definitely pregnant. I can do bloodwork to make absolutely sure..
She begins shaking her head. “No, Karly, my wolf, said I was pregnant, but I didn’t want to believe it.”
“Okay, let’s talk about that while I examine you,” I say, pulling out a gown and having her sit on the table in the room.
I begin listening to her heart and lungs and then she explains that she and another warrior had become friendly, that they’ve been finding comfort in each other’s arms, but they aren’t mates.
“Have you talked about becoming mates?” I ask her, as I draw blood. She may not need to confirm that she’s pregnant, but if she chooses to keep this baby, I want to know that both mom and baby are healthy.
“There hasn’t been a lot of time for that. At first it was just to burn off steam, you know? We were fighting all the time and we both just needed something good, something positive and pleasurable in our lives, she says tearfully.
“There hasn’t been a lot of time for much of anything other than fighting lately,” I agree. “You know I have to pull you off warrior duty. right? No matter what you decide. Even if you decide you don’t want this baby..
“I do. I.. she puts her hands over her belly, smiling a sweet, gentle smile. “I’m not sure how you can love someone that you only just realized is alive, but I do. I want this baby, even if it means raising him or her on my own.”
I put my hands over hers. “You won’t be alone. You’ll have me and the pack. Even if you and the father decide not to become a mated pair, you still have support.”
“Thanks, Luna,” she says, hugging me.
“I’ll need to tell Warren, so he knows why I’m pulling you off duty and that it will be longer than normal, and I’ll want to see you as you start progressing in your pregnancy.”
She nods, smiling, her hands going back to her stomach. “T’ll have to talk to him anyway about needing some extra space. Warriors don’t usually like to have young babies keeping them awake in the few hours they have to sleep.” she says.”You get dressed, and I’ll let him know.”
When I step out, I realize that this would become my norm if we weren’t in a constant state of war. Even with the battles, she-wolves are getting pregnant. Eva won’t be the only one. It makes sense that the pack finds comfort together. Finding mates is nearly impossible, so finding comfort with friends or lovers is the next best thing. I walk back to the waiting area, looking for Warren when Carson walks in.”Luna. Hi.”
“Carson, can I help you with something?” I ask. After putting him on a 24-hour rest, he’d come back stronger than ever.
“I was wondering if…EVA!,” he says, looking over my shoulder. He brushes past me and walks quickly toward her.
“Are you okay? Are you ill? Is something wrong? I knew I heard you throwing up this morning. Did you see Luna Yara? What did she say?” he asks in a rapid fire interrogation sort of way.
“What’s going on?” Warren asks quietly, coming up behind me and wrapping his arms around me. I lean into him, needing his strength as we watch the two individuals.
“We’re about to find out if Carson is happy that he’s gotten Eva pregnant,” I say,just as softly.
“Pregnant? Damn, she’s a good warrior,” he says as Carson whoops and swings Eva around in a circle. Eva begins laughing and as the two of them walk out of the hospital, most likely to go mark each other, I wink at her.
‘Thank you,’ she mouths to me.
I nod and turn to look at Warren. I didn’t expect that he’d have the soft, gentle look that he gives me when it’s just the two of us.
“You’re incredible, do you know that?” he asks, stroking my cheek.”All I did was tell her she was pregnant, and she wasn’t alone.””You do so much more than that. You give everyone here hope.”
He leans in, kissing me softly at first, then deepening the kiss. The hospital around me fades away and all that’s left is Warren and the emotions that he’s stirring inside me.
It isn’t until we hear some of the warriors howling their return that I pull away.
“Time to get back to work.”
Warren growls softly. “Very soon, I’m going to finally finish what we keep starting.”
A glimpse into a ‘normal’ day around the pack.
Warren—
One day very soon, I’m going to take the time I need to mark my mate. I’m getting really fed up with constant interruptions when I finally get a moment to enjoy her. However, I know now isn’t the time.
Shes right, we have an influx of wolves coming in and as the first ones arrive, I know Yara is going to be here for quite a while.
As they start coming in, Yara goes into doctor mode, taking Noelle with her and talking to the patients and then explaining what and why she’s doing what she’s doing to Noelle. She grabs a clipboard and hands it to Noelle.
“Start marking down who has arrived, and what their triage status is,” She tells Noelle.
As I watch, I realize that Yara already has this hospital running like a well-oiled machine. As she makes her assessments, Katie and Erica move in to start working on the ones who are lower on the risk level while she and Savannah continue to assess and Noelle documents, still listening to Yara as she explains things. I’m impressed that Noelle can listen and take notes from Yara and Savannah at the same time. Hopefully she’ll be interested in staying with Charlie. Yara could use more hands in the hospital.
“How’s she doing?” Charlie asks as if my thoughts conjured him to my side.
“I was just thinking that she’d make a great assistant for Yara,” I tell him, watching him smile proudly.
“How did it go? I don’t see many wounded warriors coming back.””Honestly, it was too easy. How he ever lasted as an Alpha is beyond me,” Charlie says.
“I’m guessing it was his Beta. He was vying for the Alpha position and for your mate,” I tell him making Charlie growl. The sound has Noelle’s head shooting up in our direction.
“Sorry.” Charlie says to her, his voice much softer.
“The Beta’s dead, so no worries on that frontI say as Noelle returns to listening to Yara.
“How long do you think it will be before Quinton finds out about Thomas?”
“I’m not sure, but I doubt it will be long. Depending on his next step and plan of attack, he’ll find out in a day or so at the most.”
“Do you think he’ll attack?” Charlie says, watching our mates move through the room.
“I don’t know. If we hadn’t gone so long without sleep, I’d say we should hit Brady’s pack, but his is full of those damn booby traps and I’m not sending our warriors out there to die.”
Because I’ve been watching her closely, I notice when Yara’s nose starts twitching. She turns, looking around.
“Luna?” Noelle asks her, but Yara holds up a finger, telling her to wait.
Noelle turns and looks at Charlie, but he’s focused on Yara too. We’ve both seen this once before. The day she found Haynes in middle of the dining hall.
I watch as Annika comes forward and Yara begins moving through the group, following her nose. As she does, the room goes quiet. The warriors understand what she’s doing but the newcomers are watching and wondering why she’s sniffing the air like she is.
When she finds the person she’s looking for, she leans over and sniffs her from head to toe.
“Where’s your infection?” she asks the woman.
“Just let me die,” the woman says, not even looking at Yara.
