It has been a few days since my brother went home. Milo will not talk to me and my mom seems to be pissed at me. I don't understand why, so I choke down a lump in my throat as I listen to soft music.

The sheets are cold yet again, my hormones are acting up because my wolf wants to connect with his wolf. How can they connect when he is not around? Also, it has been a week since the last time I experienced morning sickness. More like all day sickness, for me.

I let out a small sigh, you know what I am going to the pack house. If he is not there then I will go to his work.
We really need to talk about how much of an ass he has been. Because I have a lot to say and he better listen.  I hop into the shower and quickly try to wash away the tension I am feeling. I keep telling myself not to stress, but it is not working. Why is it not working Goddammit?

I need answers before I lose my mind. I don't even have my best friends anymore. One up and left the other kidnapped me.
I want friends, but I am afraid. Everyone seems to always leave me in some way or another.

I can be independent.
I tell myself, that because I know I can be.

I get dressed in comfortable clothes because right now I have no fucks to give on my outfit. I brush my hair and then put on some mascara. My mascara is so old, but it works just fine.

I walk out the door, ready to give that man one heck of a speech.

"Luna you are not allowed to leave Alpha's orders." The guards stand their ground as one of them comes and says this.

"He is not my boss and unless you want me to cause a scene. Do you?" I ask smirking at him not taking my eyes off of his.

"Fine, then we are going with you." He says to me.

"We can't let the future of this pack get hurt." I scoff and walk over to my van.

"You coming boys." Three out of twenty sit in the back seat. This is an eight-person van and they seem to get comfortable.

"Where are we going, Luna?" One of them asks.

I roll my eyes and say, "We are picking up stuff for a picnic and then going to get my mate. He works non stop twenty-four-seven and he needs a break. Also, my wolf and I need him, our hormones are out of whack and when I am not near him, my wolf feels depressed and then that stresses me. Stress is not good for the baby." They all nod.

"Have you found out the gender?" I laugh, but I have been slipping appointments.
"No, we haven't discussed if we want to know or not. He has been a way to busy." I put the car into drive and then back up.

"You all are mates, so there are no unmated men and women to guard me?" I ask, while one of them goes by the name of Paul. Coughs.

"Well, he doesn't want anyone unmated to take advantage of you." I can't believe this. Why would anyone want to do that?

"Take advantage of how?" I ask clearly wanting to know the truth. Paul says.

"Well, Luna you are beautiful and well your scent is strong. To an unmated man, it would be hard not to make advances towards you. Our wolves would be put under a lustful spell." That is the biggest load of crap I have ever heard in my life.

"So, because I am gaining weight. Carrying a child and super hormonal that makes me irresistible? Nice try Paul." He blushes.

"It's true if I were not mated, I would probably make passes at you." I laugh to myself feeling a bit flattered that he would even make a pass at me. He is a big strong handsome man.

"It is every Werewolf's man dream to have a strong family with a beautiful woman. A strong baby and woman is something some of us do not get the blessing to have. It makes unmated men jealous. It makes them envy you, they want what you have." I think about it for a second, so people actually want what I have. That is not a surprise to me, not at all.

But I envy them too, I never got to endure a single life.

But on the other hand, it could have been worse. I could have been mateless. That would be a train wreck and a half.

We pull up to a farmer's market. I buy fresh jams, fruit, and bread.

I don't know why but this is putting me in a better mood. At least Anthony will not have to deal with hot-headed me today. Well not at the start at least.

I find a booth with baby clothes and I melt. Oh my lord, I can't believe they have clothes so tiny. Oh, look at the little outfit that says mommy's little cub. I have to buy it!! I find a few more outfits that are adorable and find out all the proceeds are going to a woman's shelter. So I splurge a little more.

I bought three for each gender and few any gender could wear. I also just found bottles and pacifiers that have wolves on it.

I need to control my spending even though my mate is a billionaire basically. I don't need to overdo it. They also have clothes that hide your bump easier. So they will fit better.

I find a few dresses and go into the dressing tent. I walk out and ask the lady how I look.

"Why are you buying pregnancy clothes the smaller size booths are over there." I laugh.

"I am almost four months pregnant." The woman gasps.

"Tell me about your ways!" I blush.

I go and change into a blouse and it is gorgeous. I walk out and the woman is standing there.
I lift the shirt up to show her my small bump, she smiles.

"Do you know the gender yet?" I shake my head 'no.'

"Well since you are done let's get you checked out." The total comes up and I go to get my wallet out.

"We have a first-time mother discount, 10% of all items. It helps us save for the big day." She puts in the code and I gasp as to how much I just saved. I put 100$ in the donation jar for the woman's home.

"Let's go boys!" I shout.

"Which ones your boyfriend?" The lady asks.

"All of them, I love to play ." The woman swallows hard. I hold on to all my laughter with all my might. I look behind me to see them blushing.

"They don't bite, by the way." I laugh as she smiles.

"Well not all the time," I add on.

"But they are good looking." I laugh at that.

"My main man makes those three look ugly," She laughs. Probably at how crazy I sound.

"Well bye and have a nice day." The guards grab my bags.

We go to the car and put everything into the trunk.

"Once we get there you will stay in the car. I am pretty sure you all don't want to go on a girly picnic with the Alpha and Luna discussing relationship issues." I laugh.

"It could be fun to watch." One of them says as I jerk the car a little.

"Trust me it will not be." I glare at them.

One of their phones rings and I already know who it is.

"Hand it to me," I say and he slides his iPhone into my hand. I pick it up.

"Where the fuck is she?" He shouts angrily at me thinking, I am the guards.

"If you are looking for me, I am on my way to you I just got us lunch. So we could talk." His voice goes from aggressive to passive.

"Why did you leave without telling me?" I laugh a little.

"Because technically you don't own me and I should be able to not have to be cooped up inside the house. You know what, bye we are not discussing this on the phone." I hang up and had it back to them.

"Ignore it if he tries to call, if you pick up the phone we will get into an accident while I drive." The phone rings and they don't pick it up. I can sense my mate's frustration and anger, but I don't need to be a Werewolf to sense that.

Off to see my mate, I guess. But first I have to visit the woman. The one that attacked us. She is actually part of our pack now. Her mate his Bruce, one of my guards. Her brother Tom actually came here to give my mate a heads up that I was being moved. He did it all before he disappeared again. The woman's name is Mary Ann. She is actually really sweet.  She was just lost, and she is trying to gain out trust. Bruce already is head over heels in love with her.
