Chapter 5 - Pregnant And Attacked

It had been a week since Saphire sent Erik away. During that week, she found out that she was pregnant. And with twins. She was excited, even if the father was a traitor. Saphire was just waking up to go on a date with Sparrow. She gets dressed in skinny jeans, a black tank top and a jean jacket. She does her makeup boldly, with a killer look. She puts her hair up in a french braid and smiles, as she looks at herself. She decided to go barefoot since she hated wearing shoes.

Sparrow was already up and dressed. She was wearing a white sundress, with a very natural look of makeup and her hair was in a messy bun. "Saphire, hurry up!" Sparrow yells. "I'm coming!" Saphire yells, walking to where Sparrow was waiting. "You look beautiful," Sparrow says, pulling Saphire into her arms, kissing her. Saphire smiles. "So do you," Saphire says, causing Sparrow to smile. "Let's go. I have a wonderful date planned," Sparrow says. Saphire nods. And with that, they walk into the woods towards the river for their date. As Sparrow and Saphire walked towards the river, they talked about the pack members and how Saphire would soon go into the human territory.

Once they get to the river, Sparrow leads Saphire to a beautiful picnic right next to the river. Sparrow had put a royal blue blanket down and covered it with rose petals and on top was two steaks with asparagus, two wine glasses and a bottle of moscato. "Oh wow, Sparrow it's beautiful!" Saphire says. "I thought you would like it," Sparrow says, smiling as they sit down. They sit and eat for an hour, keeping small talk. After they finish eating, Sparrow leaned over and kissed Saphire. "I have a question," Sparrow whispers. "Ok. Ask away," Saphire says, smiling. Just as Sparrow was about to talk, they both hear two low growls, coming from the bushes.

Saphire jumped up quickly and growled. "Come out now!" she says, using her alpha voice. Soon after, two male rouges appear. "Pretty wolves all alone," one says, laughing as he shifts into a dirty brown wolf. Saphire growls low, in her chest, and shifts as well. Sparrow growls as well and shifts, lunging at the other male before he could shift. She easily killed him since he didn't shift. Now all that was left was the battle between Saphire and the rouge. Saphire was stronger than the rouge but she was slower, because she was pregnant. The rouge could sense that she was pregnant, and lunged at her stomach but Saphire dodged and grabbed the rouges neck and flung him against a tree. The rouge growls and shakes it off and runs towards Saphire and scratches her side. She growls, as her mother protectiveness kicked in and she grabs him by the throat and crushes his bones. She backs away from the rogue's body and shifts back, then collapses on the ground. Sparrow had already shifted back and runs to Saphire. "Saphire! Are you ok?" Sparrow asks. "Yes I'm fine. We need to get back to camp," Saphire says weakly. "But first ask your question," Saphire adds. "Ok," Sparrow says softly. "Will you marry me?" Sparrow asks. "Yes," Saphire says as she fades into darkness.
