“When you called Ayla you told me you needed to make sure that your body could handle a pregnancy now. Is there any reason for that?” The doctor asked because I did not tell them everything.
I still agreed with Griffin about going to the doctor first. It had just felt a bit awkward. Now I had no other option than to tell her everything. At least it was one of the female pack doctors Maxime. Before I could answer her tough she noticed the mark on my collarbone.
“Congratulations Prince Griffin and Princess Ayla, does that have anything to do with it?” she asked reaching for her stethoscope. Like she was about to listen to our pup’s heartbeat.
“Sort off since we marked each other there are signs of the heat coming
soon. And you know what that means, so why want to know our best course of action” I told her, causing her face to light up like a Christmas tree. That is when it dawned on me.
If I was to get pregnant not only the entire pack but the entire country would know of it. And most would be happy for me. Of course, some of them would be jealous.
Doctor Maxime really gave me a thorough exam and when she said back with a bright smile I was almost sure it would be good news.
“You’re body is healthy, you still need to regain some stamina and you
re still a little on the skinny side. At the bottom of the healthy weight curve so nothing is stopping you from getting pregnant. Based on hormone levels you will get the heat in one to two days” She adds giving us a bit of a timeline. This would mean that we need to come up

with a celebration to accept me into the pack. That’s a little daunting but I guess it’s what we will have to work with so we will.

“You know I am always glad to see you my dear, but what is the reason for wanting to start putting the event together a day early” Isabella asked right away.

I had not told her the reason for wanting to meet a day early. I did not
to her happy over nothing. Neither did I want to tell her what the reason was we would be holding on to trying to get pregnant at the last minute. For it might have reminded her of the loss she had.
“I am about one or two days away from going into heat. I would want to officially be a part of the pack before that. Since Griffin and I will be trying for a pup during my heat” I was nervous telling Isabella.
I never expected the always-so-elegant Queen of the entire American werewolf population to squeal like a teenage girl before hugging me and spinning me around. Which she easily could because like all other wolves she was a lot taller than I was.
“I might be a Grandma, you don’t know how happy this makes me. We need to figure out how to throw an amazing party in a day. Can your family make it?” She asked the second she put me down.
I loved how she asked me about my family because since the White Oak pack was fairly close to the Silver Moon pack. There would always be a pack member able to come over to break the pack bond. Normally the Alpha would but that was more of an unspoken rule than an actual requirement to break the pack bond. As long as the Alpha appointed the wolf to come along to break the bond. So Isabella asking if my family knew meant she was aware of the fact that I would want my family there.

“They are all able to come over tomorrow if they need to I called them after talking to you.”
Isabella was the one to call Milo to ask what the kitsch could whip up in such a short time. Of course, Milo agreed to come over right away. After he cooked for the BBQ he and I have gotten close. He as well as several others have told me how worried he was for me during my kidnapping. And when I was recovering he kept bringing me special meals he said would aid in my recovery. If only the comfort I got from them was anything to go by on they had really helped me.

It was nice to see that he was here quickly but hadn’t changed out of his casual clothes. Not even a meeting with the Queen and Princess meant he felt comfortable with us. He already had some ideas on what he could make to feed all the guests.
“Since both you and Prince Griffin love TexMex so much, I figured I could do a taco buffet. Let people fill their own taco I could start on the meats that need more cooking time like pulled pork today. There is a bunch of Mexican co cktails too” One look between Isabella and me was enough to know we both liked the idea.
“Maybe, we can host a Mexican-themed co cktail party. Coc ktail parties are quick, and fun, and while people will still have to dress up a little nobody will have to go out of their way to get new fancy clothes” I suggested and Isabella instantly loved the idea.
Since we agreed on it, she immediately mindlinked the entire pack. Telling them what the party was for and why we needed to organize it in such a rush. She did not mention that Griffin and I would actually be trying for pups. Leaving it to us to announce that. Telling your pack you were going into heat and trying for pups was a tradition I loved.

so we can sustain ourselves. Because neither of us would be able to take a break from each other for too long. They would also leave gifts, and small tokens to wish us luck. Offerings to the Moon Goddess to bless our union. A tradition I figured I would never be able to enjoy and here we are.
Murmurs of excited pack members began to filter in through the mindlink. Isabella and I spent the rest of the day running errands to get the decorations we needed. Normally we would make a list of that and would leave the actually running of errands to the staff. Since this was such a rushed job we decided we were better off going ourselves and buying the stuff we wanted as we saw it. Not to mention that the staff would have to work their asses off to get the ballroom ready and decorated in time. It was endearing to see so many of the pack members offering to help. Staff offered to come in on their day off for free to start to prepare the ballroom for decorating. To me this was part of being in a pack I loved the most. Coming together for something, there was a special kind of love you shared with your pack members.
And thinking about that I knew what I wanted to do about Cynthia during the BBQ with mine and Griffin’s family they told me all about her too. All this time she had been locked up awaiting my decision. I was finally able to make one now and I hope it would be the right one.
