Chapter 90
“Shit!” I say and jump up, Hunter right behind me. I race outside and leap, ready to shift. Hunter, Kayce, Robin, Letti, and Allison all shift quickly and begin racing to the border, along with other
warriors.
“NO!” Hedda yells in my head, a moment too late. Thankfully, Hedda’s reflexes are quick and I’m able to duck and roll on the ground.
‘Hedda, what the fuck?‘ I ask. I’ve never not been able to shift. I’m a fucking Alpha after all.
“Luna? Are you alright?” Nikki asks. She can’t shift yet either because of her injury.
“Yeah, come on,” I say, and we begin running to the border, knowing we’ll get there late.
‘Hedda, what the fuck is going on? Why can’t I shift?‘ I ask as we run. I notice Nikki looking at me out of the corner of her eye. She’s wondering why I can’t shift too.
‘Okay, trust me, I didn’t know until this minute. I’m…. we’re….we’re carrying a pup.‘
I stumble again, coming to a stop. ‘WHAT?‘ I yell at her in my mind.
I look down at my flat stomach. Okay, Hunter and I have been going at it like rabbits ever since that first night, but, I mean, for her to know already…
‘I’m sure it happened the night he marked us. He did say we had a lot of Alpha sperm floating around inside us. He’s done nothing but add to that number every day since we’ve been here. We‘ re both Alphas, so our babies will be strong and will grow and develop quickly,‘ Hedda says. She‘ s purring in my head, proud to be carrying Shaw and Hunter’s pup, but I’m still a bit in shock. I didn’t even know we had an indoor training facility two hours ago and now I’m possibly carrying the Alpha heir?
“Luna?” Nikki asks, looking at me and my hands covering my stomach.
“I…”
“I won’t say a word. Alpha Hunter should hear it from you. Come on, let’s go find out what’s going on,” she says smiling, just as I hear snarling and snapping coming from our border.

I’m glad to know that Luna Sophie is pregnant and it’s not something else that caused her to be unable to shift. She’d looked terrified for a moment, and it had made me a bit nervous. I don’t know much about mate bonds, but I know I don’t want to lose my wolf. With all the craziness going on, pregnancy hadn’t been on my mind. They’ve only been together for a couple of weeks. It’s unheard of for a she–wolf, even an Alpha, to be pregnant that quickly. But it makes me wonder if that’s how it could be, how it should be when the mate bond is strong like theirs.
As we run to where the sounds of fighting are occurring, I catch his scent and my stomach drops. Alaric, my brother, is here. Along with that scent, I catch his Beta’s scent and the scent of two other Beta females. I wonder if these are the twins that Luna Sophie was telling us about.
When we jog up. I stay hidden behind some of Alpha Hunter’s warriors. He’s at the front of the group, in his human form, snarling at my brother and his Beta. I smell two others from my old pack, possibly his Gamma, and maybe another warrior. My brother is so stupid. He assumes that while he’s out leading the hunt, no one will attack and take over his pack. If I was there, I would. I’d be a better Alpha than he is.
“Those she–wolves are unmarked Betas. Step aside and let us claim them,” my brother growls.
“Those she–wolves are under my protection. You will not cross my borders, or you will be attacked.” Alpha Hunter growls.
I look and see that Alpha Robin and Alpha Kayce are still in wolf form. They are standing behind Hunter, flanking him in front of his warriors. I smile. I guess that means that Alpha Robin is taking Alpha Hunter’s side on this. I’m glad. I like spending time with him, but I’d stop if he turned out to be like my brother.
“This is war, Hunter! Do you realize that?” my brother asks.
I see the Beta twins. They’ve shifted back to human form and are huddled on the ground, trying to make themselves small. Letti and Allison are in wolf form, surrounding them and Luna Sophie is there, wrapping her arms them, trying to help calm them.
I hate my brother, he’s so arrogant. Maybe I shouldn’t, but I’ve never backed down from a fight. It‘ s one of the reasons his Beta covets me.
