The Alpha's Eden

I won't need it

Eden PoV

All this reminiscing about Willow had my heart aching and I excused myself and headed over to my brother. As if we read each other's minds he was making his way towards me and we met in the middle of the dining room with a roll of our eyes.

"Can we talk?" I asked with a different smile, not trying to sound too serious even though Willow's pretty face was in the forefront of my mind and all I wanted to do was talk about her death with him.

"Always sis. Wanna find somewhere more quiet?" Sawyer raised an eyebrow as a raucous rumble of laughter filled the room.

He offered me his arm and I slid my arm through it and rested my head on his bicep, happy to enjoy being able to be close to another living being without electrocuting them.

Although that was an entirely different conversation I needed to have but I wanted  both my mates included in it .

I was waiting until Jace got here to to explain that this zappy thing seemed to be acting up as I'd been able to touch Harry and Skylar without any implications to them. They'd been so full of warring emotions about leaving I'm not even sure they noticed. It sure did feel nice to be able to hug them and cosy up like old times though!
For fucks sake! My life was way too stressful right now I just wanted to scream!

I suggested the small sitting room that sat next to the dining room in which Jace often held smaller, less formal meetings.

Once we were alone I slumped into the comfort of the huge grey armchair and kicked off my heels to let my swollen feet rest for a while.

"I love you Eden but I can't lie to you, your feet look like pigs trotters right now!" Sawyer burst out laughing, unable to take his eyes off of my bloated and aching feet.

Once I gazed at them myself I couldn't help but giggle, completely seeing his point of view.

Goddess, they looked so horrible even with the dodgy red polish job Jace had kindly done for me since touching my own feet was a thing of the past. My big bump prevented me from being able to bend that far.

"You are such an asshole, has anyone ever told you that Sawyer Quinn?" Trying to project a serious expression wasn't easy so I hid my grin under my hand as I rested my face against it, my elbow propping me up off of the side of the chair.

My back was killing me and this seemed to give me some level of relief from it.

"All the time sis, usually you! But seriously, apart from the pig feet, how are you feeling?" My brother chuckled before his tone turned more serious.

"Apart from the huge belly, fat ass and backache?" Despite the seriousness of his voice I couldn't help but list off all of my ailments like a whiny old lady.

"Yes other than the belly, back and butt issues" he frowned at me as if to warn me to talk to him in a more sensible manner.

"I'm freaking out. I'm so worried about the pack, I'm worried about my mates and my babies but you.. you are in such a dangerous position Sawyer. That scares the absolute shit out of me. I don't think you should go anywhere near dad or the Woodmoor pack land anymore. It's too risky!!" all of my fears tumbled out of my mouth and tears threatened to escape my eyes but I blinked them back, I knew crying wouldn't solve anything.

"Jace and Blake are powerful fighters, they know how to handle themselves and I very much doubt there was anything on this earth or beyond that could take them away from you and your children. As for those precious babies you are carrying, they have pretty much every family member ready to defend them and they aren't even born yet. Nothing will happen to these kiddos, that's a promise little sister" Sawyer declared boldly and the belief he had seemed to drift into me because I suddenly felt abit more positive.
