“I have to do the same with Sophie,” I tell him. Since Ezra is driving, I asked him to bring tents for us to sleep in, just in case the packhouse was destroyed by Joshua. However, I wanted Sophie to have something softer to sleep on, so I’ve rolled a thick blanket up into our bags. It isn’t a lot, but she’ll already be a bit unbalanced riding on Shaw with her large belly.
When we get outside, I put the straps over her body, making sure nothing is pressing against our stomach too tightly and that everything is comfortable. Then I strip and put my clothes in the bag before letting Shaw pull the shift. As soon as he does, he walks over to our mate.
“Shaw, you big softy,” Sophie coos, running her fingers through his fur. Hedda begins purring loudly as Shaw presses his nose against her belly, sniffing our pup. He rubs his face over her stomach, scenting her and trying to scent our pup as well.
When he’s done, he lifts his head and licks Sophie’s face. “I love you too, big guy,” she says, through Hedda’s loud purring. I can hear pack members behind us chuckling at Hedda’s open display of affection toward Shaw, and he is soaking it in.
He finally lays down and patiently waits while Sophie gets on his back and gets settled. He turns his head to watch her, nuzzling her when she struggles to get on his back. Sometimes I forget that my wolf loves our mates as much as I do, but it’s

moments like this that remind me that he and I share not only our mind, but also our emotions.
‘Not all wolves are as lucky as I am. Not all humans openly share themselves like you do. But yes, Sophie and Hedda are as precious to me as they are to you. And our son will be just as precious,’ Shaw says, sending me an image of our young son on the floor between his paws as he nuzzles and sniffs him.
I take the image and add our son painfully gripping onto his face and feel Shaw mentally shrug. I know my wolf is tough enough to take down anyone who attacks our pack, but I’m not sure he’s strong enough to take a baby’s grip on his fur.
‘I’m sure I’ll manage,’ he purrs, using his face to push Sophie up just enough that she huffs and settles on his back.
“Finally! This is ridiculous!”
‘Our pup is getting big, baby. It makes it harder for you to move easily.’
‘Yeah, yeah,’ she grumbles in my mind.
‘Ready?’
“Ready,” she says out loud, looking over at Kinsley.
“It wasn’t that hard for you,” she says.
“First, I’m a week or two behind you, Sophie. Second, I’m carrying a Beta pup, you’re carrying an Alpha pup.”

“I don’t think that matters,” she grumbles as Shaw stands and nods at Dario. The two of them take off at a slow jog, moving as easily as they can so they don’t jostle our pups. I let Shaw focus on our surroundings, and I keep focused on Sophie, making sure she doesn’t seem too uncomfortable or starts to bounce too much. About halfway, we stop. We’re higher on the mountain, and it’s a good spot to let our mates get some water. Sophie chooses to stay on Shaw’s back, worried about getting back on, but Kinsley gets off and stretches her legs.
“I forget how beautiful it is up here,” Sophie says.
“When I was bringing food up here, I was always nervous, so I didn’t really take the time to enjoy it, but you’re right, Sophie. It’s gorgeous. Once the packs around us are settled, we really need to start thinking of that community area where all the packs can bring their families to relax.”
“Like a park,” Sophie says. She opens up the mind link to Lucas and Kinsley and we can all see her ideas. Kinsley begins to add hers as well.
“Yeah, a park with some picnic benches or maybe some swings for the kids.”
