know you won’t. Congratulations,” I say, walking them to the door. As I close it, I hear Pen whoop with excitement and hear the two of them laughing as they walk down the hall.

I finish my work, keeping a mental connection with Sophie. She’s back in the nursery today, probably overwhelmed with all of the she-wolves that were around for the competition. Marg was a great help, making sure that Soph didn’t attack anyone needlessly for talking to me. And now that we’re home, she’s settling in quickly. I feel her nod off in the early part of the afterno and I go up to find her in the rocking chair once again.

I pick her up and carry her to our bedroom, laying her in bed and kissing her stomach, purring softly as I feel my son bump against my lips before covering her and heading back downstairs t check on the party preparations for tonight.

When I get downstairs, I realize that Penny and Jaime have already made sure that everything is set for tonight and I feel something settle inside me. I hadn’t realized that I was nervous about losing Lucas, but he’s been at my side since I took over as Alpha. I couldn’t be prouder of him, b when he won, it felt like there was going to be a gaping hole in my pack, especially with Sophie about to deliver our pup.

However, I realize that I was right in my assessment of Penny and Jaime. They may not do things exactly the same way that Lucas and Kinsley did them, but they’ll be incredible Betas for this pack

I wake up in bed, not remembering Hunter moving me, but knowing it must have been him. Even with everything going on, he’s keeping close tabs on me. I look at the clock and realize that I need to get up and start getting ready. Lucas and Kinsley will be here soon. I’m so excited about seeing them, but I know I’ll probably cry when it’s time to say goodbye.

I get up and showered, finding a comfortable dress that is still a bit snug around my big belly “Huntington, you need to make your entrance soon, so I don’t have to buy more clothes,” I say. rubbing my stomach as I try to make the dress fit better.

“I’m going to miss seeing your belly swollen with my pup.” Hunter says from behind me, his possessive tone sends shivers down my body

clothes fitting me again, that’s for sure,” I say.

Hunter looks down at my stomach, coming forward and running his hands on either side. I feel my back arching, just enough that my mate realizes what I need.

“I’m going to miss that too,” he says.

“What’s that?” I ask, my eyes closed as the feeling of him touching me moves through my body

“How very responsive you are to me. I like it that even my voice has you arching these days. I love knowing that your body responds so completely to me.”

I chuckle. “My body always responds to you. You are a master at making my body respond to you.” I tell him

“Hmmm, we should test that,” he says, spinning me around and putting my hands against the door, easing the ache inside me that feels nearly constant these days. If I’m not sleeping, I want Hunter inside me.

When we’ve both found our release, Hunter takes my hand and leads me downstairs. I needed some space after the competition for Alaric’s pack, so I wasn’t part of the party planning and decorations. However, the pack is going all out to say goodbye to their Beta couple and congratulating them on becoming an Alpha and Luna.

It isn’t long before we get the notice that Lucas and Kinsley have passed the pack border, and Hunter and I walk outside to greet them while the others position themselves to shout out congratulations when they walk in.

When they step out, I can see that Kinsley is already feeling the strong emotions of saying goodbye that I am. Because our baby bumps are so large, it’s impossible to hug, so we clasp hands, both of us fighting tears.

“Tonight is a celebration. Save your tears for tomorrow,” I whisper, my throat tight with emotion

She nods, and both of our mates come to wrap their arms around us.

“Come on the entire pack has put together a party for you. We have food, music, drinks for those of us who can drink…” Hunter says chuckling, kissing the top of my head.
