Pack of Lies

Chapter 37: Deal with the devil

Eliza

3 months later

I was completely shattered after another day of travelling.

I still couldn't believe that 3 months had flown by. 3 months without my mate. 3 months of sleeping alone with only his jacket to comfort me in his absence.

Brooke and some of the strong pack warriors tracked me down. They didn't try to get me to come home, instead they insisted that they travel the world with me to unite all the packs.

We had gone to Canada, France, South Korea, everywhere where a known pack was that had been hurt by my father. Being pregnant and travelling was not ideal, but I had no other choice. 

I had completely lost my mate's scent. I didn't even know if he was alive, but I wasn't going to stop until I found him.

"Eliza, you need to rest. Think of the baby".

"I am thinking of this baby. I cannot rest until John is dead, for all we know he could attack whilst we sleep. Once we get to the next pack, then I'll rest".

All 6 of us were resting in a hotel in Galway Ireland. We had nearly done it. We had so many packs behind us, warriors ready to fight on my command. But I was nervous turning up to this pack. I was warned about the Alpha and his lack of respect towards women.

Brooke had stayed by my side every second of this trip. She refused to leave my side and even insisted on sharing the same room as me. I didn't mind. She helped to take my mind off of Warrick and tended to my every craving.

I never expected my pregnancy to be like this. I wanted to be coddled and protected by Warrick's possessiveness. I wanted him to stroke my protruding belly, whisper to our little munchkin and hold me tight when I cried over nothing. But he wasn't here to be with us.

Thankfully Brooke kept my spirits up. She'd constantly overfed me, tended to my every craving, hold me whilst in cried in my sleep and brought me baby items to keep me happy.

I had learnt that werewolves were pregnant for 6 months instead of 9 like humans. But for Alphas and Lunas, the pregnancy only lasted for 4 because of the alpha gene. Brooke didn't know why pregnancy was faster for us, but it didn't matter because I was excited to meet this little one.

It was just a shame that their father wouldn't be able to be with them during this time.

Brooke had gone with me to ultrasound scans, and I was relieved to discover that everything was okay. The midwives told me how strong and healthy the little one was.

"Just like me". I could hear Warrick's voice in my head knowing that it is definitely something he would say if he was here.

"Let's just get this meeting over and done with. I'm not looking forward to meeting this jackass".

"I know, I'm going to have to restrain myself against any insulting comments. But we need his army if we're going to win this war" Brooke reassured me as she rested a hand on my shoulder, but I felt none.

Suddenly all 4 of my pack warriors stepped into our room with their heads bowed.

"Ready when you are Luna".

Brooke gripped my hand tightly and nodded at me before turning back to the men who I knew would help keep us safe.

Resting my free hand on my protruding stomach that was covered by a flowy white summer dress, I let my eyes close and tried to focus on our baby's movements.

Our baby brought me hope to know that one day after all this was over and John was dead, me Warrick and our little munchkin would be reunited and no-one would be able to separate us again.
