Chapter 33

Three months later

"I look like a balloon." I said frowning at the mirror.

In three months my stomach had stretched out to the size of a watermelon. The dress I wore was loose around me but it didn't stop me from feeling like huge. It was even becoming hard for me to walk without wobbling.

Someone had the brilliant idea to throw me a celebration for the new coming pup- by brilliant I mean stupid. I didn't want to be in a room of people trying to touch my baby bump. It unsettled my wolf.

"But you're a beautiful balloon." Bre said smiling.

I rolled my eyes and stepped away from the mirror. I felt tired and already wanted to take a nap. This morning I hadn't woken up too cheerful. Shayne had woken me up early and told me he would be out welcoming Fallen Ash. The Alpha was a close friend of Shayne's. Apparently, Eric was also invited but he declined the invitation.

Everything had gone smoothly in the past months. Rider kept his distance and didn't try to pose any threat. I felt like he was waiting for the perfect moment. Shayne hadn't said much about Eric. His relationship with Shayne wasn't the best right now.

"This will be fun." Bre tried to be encouragingly.

"By fun do you mean torture?"

Before she could answer, Jake chose that moment to walk in. He looked formal yet casual. I smiled and stepped into his open arms.

"How are you feeling?" Jake asked.

"Grumpy." Bre answered for me.

"You'll be fine." Jake assured me.

"I don't want to go out there." I whined.

"You have to. Shayne already arrived and there are people downstairs waiting for you." Jake said.

I groaned but knew he was right. I had to remind myself that this was for the pack. They were happy for me and Shayne. This was a time to celebrate.

All three of us walked downstairs to the crowed of people inside of the house. I spotted Shayne by the door and made my way to him. He placed a loving kiss in my cheek when I reached him .

"Love, this is Sebastian. He's the Alpha of Fallen Ash and this is his mate Loraine."

I looked at Sebastian and reached out to take his hand. Like Shayne, Sebastian was tall and and radiated power. My attention moved to the Luna who was looking at me with curiosity. She looked younger than I had expected. stretched my hand for her to shake. She hesitated a bit but placed her hand in mine.

"It's nice to meet you both. You people as well." I said looking over Sebastian's shoulder.

"This is Peter and Micah." Sebastian introduced. "Two of my trusted men. I assume everyone else is out and about enjoying themselves."

"Everyone should." I said. "Enjoy themselves, I mean."

"Congratulations." The Luna said.

"Thank you." I smiled.

"Sage, will you keep the Luna some company while I discuss a couple of things with Sebastian?" Shayne asked.

"Now?" I didn't hide my disapproval from him.

Of course he would take now to ditch me and do god knows what. I would lose my patience if more than one person tried to touch my stomach. I never understood why people found the need to do that.

"It will only take a few minutes." He said kissing the top of my head.

"Sure, go ahead." I grumbled.
