Dmitri

Pregnant. I read the word over and over, my mind spinning at this news. All the time Sky was nauseous lately. I thought it was from the blood she ingested from the hunter. Or nerves. But pregnant. My mind goes back to the wedding dress and the faint scent I had picked up before it faded. Similarly, when she had shifted into her Lycan. The scent was so light and seemed to vanish as quickly as it appeared that I thought I had imagined it.

Suddenly, my head snaps up, my eyes finding Mira's.

"You knew?" I ask her accusingly.

"I suspected. She threw up on my wedding day. But I couldn't be sure. When she was nauseous the next day as well, my suspicion grew stronger." She sounds guilty as she looks between myself and Andrea.

"Why didn't you say anything?" Andrea asks, confirming at least that he was in the dark with me. I would have been devastated if my best friend decided to keep something this big from me.

"I wasn't sure, and Sky seemed oblivious, so I thought it might just be me reaching. It also has never happened before. Lycans and humans cannot reproduce. And when I saw the way she swallowed down the champagne at my wedding, I thought I must be wrong. When she was still nauseous the next day, I mentioned it to Ally and Raina, and that's when they ran the tests, so don't hate me altogether," Mira says, her arms wrapping around her body as if to shield her from the backlash of her not telling me.

I am angry at her, as is Andrea, but this isn't her fault. She wasn't sure, so she said nothing. Could we blame her? At least she voiced her suspicion to someone. Though I really wish Raina had said something sooner. The thought of Sky and our baby in the hands of a madman nearly drives me to insanity. What if he tried hurting her, not knowing she is pregnant? My eyes turn black, the claws on my hands digging into the wood of the table, as I battle my Lycan forcing its way forward. What if he finds out she is pregnant and that the power he seeks actually resides with our tribrid unborn child? What will he do then? I can't even think about it.

The joy of us being pregnant is overshadowed by the dangerous situation Sky is in. Hatred towards Gael grows as yet another moment we should have enjoyed together is stolen from us. Rage washes over me at all that this fucking twisted psychopath has taken from us. A growl leaves my throat as I close my eyes. I could do it. Let it wash over me. Take me away to a place where only destruction and chaos reside. But if I do, I wouldn't be much closer to getting Sky and our baby back. I'm going to be a father. The thought sobers me and brings me back from the precipice of letting go and losing myself completely.

Opening my eyes, I am met with the worried faces of my friends. Andrea puts a hand on my shoulder as he tries to comfort me.

"We will find them frere," Andrea says, squeezing my shoulder reassuringly.

"We will Dmitri. We have all the tools to do this spell," Raina says, grabbing my now normal hand and giving it a squeeze. Thank fuck I had these people with me else I don't know what I would do.

"Okay, I need to prepare. I'm going to pop over to Ivan's place and get some things I will need for the ritual, and let's meet back at Sky's in twenty minutes," Raina says, her eyes drifting over the ruins of my furniture and the table in front of us. This place was wrecked, so I understood her change of location.
