Ellie POV

That night, I couldn't sleep. Instead, I found myself drawn downstairs, where I witnessed a tender and heartwarming moment between Auntie Kye and Riley.

The sight of their close bond brought a smile to my face, and I couldn't help but hope that one day I would be able to share such a connection with my own sons.

"Ellie?"

"I can't sleep..." I sighed, sitting down on the couch.

"How about a distraction, huh guys?"

"Like what?"

"Have you got everything set up for the baby?"

My eyes suddenly widen.

"Oh my god, we've been so distracted, I forgot..."

"Don't you worry, Riley can do the heavy lifting whilst we go shopping!"

"Riley doing what now?"

"Shut it, boy, you listen to your mother,"

He put his hands up in surrender. "Alright, jeez."

"Right, first off, do we have a spare room?"

"My old room? I don't know if Elliot uses it for anything, but it's opposite to mine and Ramonds. If we move my stuff into Ramond room, then it should be pretty empty. "

"Right, Riley, that's your task, Ellie and I are going baby shopping." she hooked my arm with hers, dragging me out.

Ramond POV

"Stop running, Lorenzo!" I tried grabbing him.

"You think you're so smart, don't you, Ramond? You're wrong because as your men are attacking, I can easily run to the pack and kill every female there. How would your men take that? That you left your pack vulnerable. It would be your fault seeing them dead, especially your precious Ellie, when I take a nice bite out of her. " he licked his lips.

I lost control charging at him. He dodged my fist, punching me instead of knocking my head to the side. I looked back to him growling. He ran, making me chase after him when Vincent tackled him down with his hands on his throat.

Lorenzo managed to kick him off as I went to grab him something exploded, knocking me down and some of us flying. I groaned out, sitting up slowly when something whacked me across my skull.

It was Wesley. He had a branch raised to hit me. I raised my arms up, waiting for the impact, but it never came.

Clint knocked him down. Alpha Daniel helped me up.

"You alright?" He asked.

"Yeah..." I grumbled hissing at the pain when I touched my head.

"They are all dead! We did it, but Lorenzo escaped, "

"And Wesley?"

"Dead," Clint growled, walking over and covered in blood.

"Good."

Ellie POV

After hours of shopping, I came to check on Riley when I gasped. He organised the empty room and painted it.

"Riley..."

"I thought it needed to be done now. You just got to add the baby equipment." I pulled him into a tight hug.

"Thank you so much,"

"You're welcome,"

"Ellie, they're back!" My eyes lit up as I waddled fastly. I made it outside, seeing all the women run to their mates. I saw Ramond.

My smile dropped, seeing the injury he encountered.

"Oh my god, what happened? Are you alright?! Jesus Ramond, what the hell hap-"

"Hey! Ellie, Ellie! I'm fine. I'm ok -" I smashed my lips onto his, cupping his cheeks as he instantly kissed back.

It felt so right, although it was only half a day, I missed him like crazy and I was so damn worried!

We slowly pulled away. He smiled at that.

"I might have to get ambushed more often. If that's what I get from you."

I couldn't help but smile.

"Shut up. What happened?" "

"Spotted us, coming pretty much surprised attacked us too, we got everyone but Lorenzo. Don't worry, he's all alone now, "

I still felt a little better knowing Lorenzo didn't have an army. "What do we do now?"

"Well... sex is out of the picture. " I immediately regretted hitting his chest with his armour on as I held it to my chest, whimpering, biting my lips to hold the pain back.

I can see Ramond holding his laugh back.

"Even when I pop our pups out, you're still not getting it."

"C'mon, we've only done it twice."

"I've -"

"Doesn't count"

"Hey, the quickie in the bathroom got me here, mister." I pointed to my swollen stomach.

"Yeah, but I think it looks very hot on you," he smirked, placing his hands on it.

"Oh, I started on the baby room." "Is that so?" He leaned in closer, ready to kiss me. "C'mon!" I'll show you avoiding the kiss as I grab his hand, pulling him with me.

"Ellie," he groaned, taking a nice walk up the stairs to our floor. I stopped outside the door.

"Riley did it."

"He did?" He frowned as he opened it.

His eyes immediately widened open.

"What do you think?" I bit my bottom lip.

He smiled, looking towards me. "I love it." he pulled me into a kiss, and I wrapped my arms around him, kissing back.

Suddenly, we saw a flash and a sound of a click making us pull away to see what the hell that was.

Elliot had the camera in his hands as Dad rolled his eyes, snatching it off him. "I said no flash!"

I waddled over, hugging them both.

"You're both okay." I smiled, but it dropped seeing my father neck.

"What..."

"I chased after him, bit a chunk of my neck out, but I'm okay it's healing!" I pulled him into a hug again.

"As long as you are safe, my little wolf, I have no concerns." He whispered. I smiled at that, looking at him and then to my brother.
