Mysteries of Luna FINISHED (Werewolf series 1)

16. The Plan

My brain was working overtime after the premonition, trying to come up with a plan to end this once and for all. I need to protect the people I love so I started to backtrack everything I knew.

To save my babies, I can't let him use that poison on me. I didn't see him during the battle, so he must have sneaked up on me when I was crying for Jaxon.

If Damian takes me, I have to be conscious.

We can't battle because if we do Jaxon will die. If we do battle then it needs to occur in a different way. Maybe we can ambush him? But what if he finds out somehow? Maybe someone in our pack is helping him like Kyle who lied to us about Damian's death.

No, the best thing would be to not battle at all.

But how do we avoid that?

What does he want? He wants to mark me and what I understand he can only do it if Jaxon's dead. That's the reason for ambushing us, to kill Jaxon and take me. Actually that's pretty obvious.

We need to outsmart Damian.

If only I could go with Damian willingly but even if I do, Jaxon needs to die otherwise he can't mark me so either way he's going to kill Jaxon.

I need to take Jaxon out of the equation.

The idea I came up with is so drastic that I need to have the plan fully planned out that nothing can slip to chance or get ruined.

I just hope the plan works.

SIX WEEKS LATER

I'm no longer in bedrest since I've entered late stage of second trimester. I still eat that yucky gooey stuff and it's still just as disgusting even though I've been drinking it every day.

Last week Avalon gave birth to a beautiful baby boy named Ryder McKinley, his last name being Colton's while I however have six weeks left until I'm due.

Aria says that their chances for surviving are good considering they've grown to become stronger then when I almost hade my miscarriage many weeks ago.

I'm still worried, but since they are fully grown soon I believe they'll be okay. I hope.

It's obvious that I'm still nervous.

"Do you want to hold him?" Avalon asked holding Ryder.

"Um, no." I said quickly "What if I break him?" I said bluntly and worried.

"You're not going to break him" She chuckled. "How are you supposed to take care of your own children when you can't even hold Ryder?"

I shrugged my shoulders. "I've taken care of them while resting in my womb, I think Jaxon can take care of them until they're old enough for me not to break them"

Avalon just shook her head at my words and laughed before stepping forward for me to take baby Ryder.

I took a deep breath before putting one hand behind his head and the other around him, holding him close to my chest and hoping to God that I won't break him somehow.

His green eyes looked at mine softly and I couldn't help but smile at the little miracle of joy. So small and easy to love.

"See, you're not breaking him" Avalon grinned.

"Not yet..." I mumbled before we sat down at her bed as I rocked him slowly.

"You know, you're not going to be a bad mother" she said softly while gazing at Ryder and me with a warm expression.
