CHAPTER 26

•1 1/2 MONTHS LATER•

I wasn't exactly sure what to do. Ever since about a month ago I've been on edge. Damen has been training and speaking with the other guardians.

He had already informed my family that a war was coming and to be prepared for anything at any time.

Granite he didn't tell them the entire story, but then again they didn't question him when he told them.

They just agreed and began to prepare. Colette and Estelle were moved to a safe house with the other females and children about a week ago.

You're probably wondering why I wasn't with them right?

Well, we tried to move me to a safe house and the house mysteriously caught fire in the middle of the night whilst Damen and I were sleeping.

So we thought it best if I stayed at the pack house where the men all were to protect me and the pups.

Georgia was sent to stay with Damen's parents, Adam and Eve, until this whole business was taken care off.

It was painful without my daughter but what hurt the most was being so close to delivering twin pups AND having a full fledged war on the brink of beginning.

We had the pack doctors on stand by for whenever they were needed. Damen said it was best if I just stayed in our corridor with guards until I delivered.

I wanted to argue my point of not wanting to be locked up like an animal, but I knew there was no point.

Honestly when that man is dead bit determined to do something he damn well does it.

So here I am sitting in my chair on my balcony trying to enjoy the last bit of the day that was left.

The spring was coming to an end and the hot summer days were coming in. This meant longer days and more sun!

Smiling with contentment I took a deep breath in and let the sun fall on my face. Slowly feeling the heat start to warm my body.

Feeling the heat slowly tan my exposed skin. I was about a good week away from my delivery and I was scared, yet calm.

As if giving birth to twin pups wasn't a painful thing to do.

No it was the peace and serenity that surrounded me at that very moment that allowed me to calm down.

Had I been inside and thought about the delivery, there would be no telling how I would react.

Damen came in every hour or two to check on me. Made sure I had everything I needed and made sure I was taken care of.

With a tender kiss each time he left he would leave to go prepare some more for the battle.

Each tender kiss I would savor. In fear that those few seconds spent would be the last moments available.

It was as if something was telling me to savor these moments. Not because they would be my lasts, but because moments as bitter sweet as these were slow coming.

I didn't plan on having anymore pups, or kids, anymore. Which was another reason for me to savor these last few days of my pregnancy.

The goddess only knows how much I love my kids but I just didn't want anymore. I think Georgia and the twins will hard enough to take care off.
