"He's almost here," Louie smooths back my hair and I can feel his hot breaths fanning my face, "I love you and only you, Bay. I know with the help from the Witch you'll be able to do this safetly. We need to do this. To ensure the safety of our child," His hand rubs my baby bump and feelings of guilt weigh down my body as my eyes dart to where I know the Luna is. Her wicked smiles unravels in my memory as it is played over and over. I feel guilty for giving up my first child but it was for the sake of the war. I hoped and prayed there would be a way for me to raise him but as time grew on, I knew it was doubtful.

"You can do this," Louie whispered in my ear before backing away to the clearing to conceal himself. I took a deep breath and braced myself for Harry's appearance.

Two months earlier

"So this is the plan?" A male asked from the table. Louie nodded, "The Council and I came up with it ourselves. They'll be there to help. All we need is a Witch,"

"My wife is not well enough to practice that kind of magic," The Alpha shook his head but his wife placed a hand on his forearm. "I'm sure I'd be able to conjure enough magic to help Bay... if my certain demands are meant," She eyed me and my hand rubbed my baby bump.

"I'm sure we can meet them," Louie spoke in a determined tone.

"So, we're set," the Luna twisted her hand carelessly in the air as she glanced at me. My heart rate picked up. I couldn't just let her take my child. She seemed so smug about the fact that I need her help. If it was my decision, I wouldn't even bother with her but apparently she's this huge and powerful witch who can control the magic we need for my protection and all that bullshit. There had to be another witch that could match her power.

Louie had spent the last three and a half months trying to find a way to help me. And apparently he needed to sort some things out. However after my call, he hurried back and we sat down with Darwin present and talked what exactly our feelings were. I tried my best to have them understand my feelings towards Darwin and then the emotions I had towards Louie. Afterwards we embraced while Darwin just sat there in a frozen state. I was worried that I had ruined Darwin and my relationship.

Louie had sensed my discomfort and hurt feelings and ushered me out of the room. Later on when I was getting ready for bed, Darwin walked into the first bedroom from the hall. I cleared my throat awkwardly, expecting him to ignore me, but he didn't. Instead he sat down on the edge of my bed and rubbed his hands together nervously. He sighed and motioned for me to sit beside him.

"I'm sorry," he apologized.

"You... shouldn't be the one apologizing," I whispered.

"I don't even know why I'm upset over this... I'm supposed to be happy that I won't have this commitment... but I don't know," he ran a hand through his hark hair.

"C'mon, finish please," I urged him on.

"I didn't want to mate you, Bay!" He said bluntly. Despite the fact that we were never going to get together, him saying that hurt my feelings. I flinched and he grabbed ahold of my hand.

"I'm going to tell you something, okay?"

I nodded.

"I had a mate. A real mate. I know you know this, but you don't know what happened and hopefully this will help you begin to understand why I didn't want to..." He breathed deeply and stared at the wall.

"I was fourteen and I was riding the bus to school. She got on and it was her first day. She was a human and she was beautiful. Her name was Paula and she was... she was quiet and wouldn't willingly talk to anyone. It took a few weeks for her to open up to me. Even then, it was me doing most of the talking. I loved how she loved nature and we ended up walking home a lot. It seemed to put her at ease, being outside. She would always look up at the sky in amazement and I wished that she would look at me like that. But I would take anything she gave me and if that was her time... I would take it. I, uh, never thought it would be the dangerous but I never thought that the full blooded in my pack would change in front of a Werewolf.
