Zulina's life had been set in stone the day she was born into the pack. Hair as pale as the moon, eyes as blue as the ocean's tide. She was considered a rare gift from the Moon goddess herself within her pack. About one out of fifty children born in...

The sound of a cellphone ringing brought Zulina out of her dreams. Her lashes fluttering open to see the blurry figure laying in bed with her. It took her some time to realize she wasn't in her own bed and that they were still on the island. Titus seemed fast asleep despite his cellphone ringing across the room. Slowly Zulina moved to get to her feet. Her back and pelvis sore from the growth of the baby within the past month. Slowly she moved over to the cellphone and noticed the unknown number on the other end and curiosity made her accept the call.
"Hello?" Her voice cracked out tiredly as she rubbed her eyes.
"Lina?" The familiar voice filled her with relief but her eyes instantly burst into tears as she let out a tiny sob.
"Landon? You're okay....You're alive..." Her voice broke out as she felt her knees buckle and her forehead pressed against the dresser beside her as she cried. "You didnt even say goodbye... you just....you.."
"Shh... Baby, Im so sorry...Im so.. so sorry." Landon's voice sounded just as heart broken as she felt. "I will do everything in my power to make it up to you, Baby. We've beaten them back for now...I'll see you once this is over, I promise. We will repair our bond.... We will get married, We will rule the pack together with our child okay?"
"Landon...My Mother told me I have only a day left before the baby comes...But something deep down inside me fears something bad is coming. Could you please try to be here... Im scared to do this alone.." Zulina's voice spoke in a hushed whisper as she carefully made her way out of the bedroom and towards the large living room that belonged the the lavish condo which had ceiling to floor windows all the way around. She moved over to sit on the couch as she big her bottom lip and ran her palm along her stomach. "I need you..." Her voice cracked out a tiny sob.
Landon closed his eyes, Not able to handle how broken his mate sounded. How hard it was for him to be so far away from her. Clearing his throat he used his pinky finger to wipe the tears from under his eye while he held the phone and glanced towards Sirius and Harper who were watching him intently. Fergus exhaled slowly and nodded his head.
"I'll Come to you, Baby... It might take me all day... but I will be there for you and our child okay? I'll have Fergus and Sirius tend to the pack and prepare for the next attack, Goddess be damned I want to be there for you. I want to fix our bond I cant take it anymore okay? You hear me Lina? do you? Im coming, Okay baby?" Landon began to move faster than he thought possible as he gestured to his laptop, Braxton was the first to it and began to order tickets for a flight to the island.
Zulina's fingers found her mouth as she simply stared out the window in disbelief. He was going to defy her mother... he was going to risk his life again... prophesy be damned... what if the war was over... what if his fate was saved by her scrying... he could be with her tonight.
"I love you, Landon" It was all she was able to say as tears rolled down her face.
"Oh, I love you so much, Zulina Renouf. Listen to me okay? Tell Titus and Naya Im coming okay, Im bringing Harper with me as well for her and her babies safety as well, Sirius demands it"
