I have been fighting with Leo for weeks now, ever since we got back and found out Anna wasn’t going
to wake up anytime soon. He started blaming me, I made him stay quiet, I made him stay in the
background, he’s of the firm belief that if he had taken over, we would have been out of there before
they hurt our mate. My anger at Leo kept bubbling out into my life, I destroyed my office, I ripped about
a coffee shop and I’m sure James’s SUV is no longer drivable. I’m not sure at what point Leo took over,
one second, I was ripping a chair apart with my hands. and the next I was watching myself throw a
coffee maker through a window.
Leo put up a good fight when they tried to cage us. I was begging him not to hurt my men, but he
wouldn’t listen, Rick got the worst of it, and I hope he’s ok. He hasn’t been down to see me since they
locked the cell door, I hope that has more to do with Eliza than me. I kept feeling an itch in my brain
that I couldn’t scratch. I think it was someone trying to use our mind link but with Leo in control he was
blocking it.
Just when I had resigned myself to being in the cell with Leo in control, she came strolling in with zero
fear. Anna, my beautiful little. wolf, round with my pup I can honestly say I have never seen anything so
beautiful in all my life. Once she had coaxed Leo into letting me. out, I refused to come out of the cell,
I’m ashamed of what I did and at how easily I let Leo take over. I am Alpha, I should have more control
than this. I think the idea of losing Anna and our pup was just too much, I let it weigh me down.
“Are you coming out today?” I hear from across the cells. Anna hast woken up and she looks so much
better. Her hair is messy from

sleeping in the chair, but she doesn’t have any bags under her eyes
anymore
“I need to make sure I have Leo under control first.” I don’t want to hurt her or our pup, I could never
forgive myself.
“Leo won’t be an issue now, we have an understanding now.” I laugh a
little at this.
“You think you have an understanding with my wolf?” I say to her between laughs.
“Don’t laugh, I will have you know me, and Leo are basically besties now.”
“Oh, is that right little wolf?” I say walking over to the bars and putting my hands in my jean pockets.
“It is. He would never hurt me or our pup. Would you?” I can’t believe she just asked that.
“Of course, I wouldn’t!” I say quickly.
“Good, I unlocked the cage while you slept. I’m going to shower then I need to see Doctor Lee for a
baby scan. Join me if you’re not too scared.” With that she leaves the cells and heads upstairs.
She’s goading me into leaving. I’m still not sure it’s a good idea. I sit back down on the bed and put my
head in my hands.
“You’re an idiot, Alpha.” Rick says to me. I shoot my head up and look at him. I didn’t even hear him
come into the cells.
“That’s how you speak to your Alpha?” I say putting my head back in my hands.

“It is now, since he started acting like an idiot.” He pulled up the chair Anna slept in and sits down.
“Alright, I’ll bite. How am I an idiot?” I ask him
“Well, you have a perfectly willing mate, she’s round with your pup and after everything she has gone
through, she should want anything but to be around men. Yet here she is, sleeping in the cells so she
can be close to you. Some wolves would kill for what you have, for the ease of it. Hell, just for the fact
that you have a mate who wants you. So, like I said…Idiot.” I get off the bed and walk to the cage
doors.
“I should beat your ass for talking to me like that.” He laughs at me.
“You would have to come out of that cell to do that.” He goads.
“I take it stuff with Eliza still isn’t going well?” I feel for Rick I really do; he found his mate in a condition
no one would want to find anyone. let alone their mate.
“The same, she wants me to reject her. I’ve told her I can’t yet. She’s too weak.” I look at him as he
says this.
“So…you lied to her?”
“Of course. I did! I need time to show her I’m different from those men she met in that farmhouse.” I
can’t say I disagree with his logic.
“Anything I can do to help?”
“You can’t help anyone sat on your ass in a cell,” I take the bait and open the cell, I slowly step out of it.
I pat him on the shoulder as I pass.
“Call me an idiot again and I will beat your ass.” His laughter follows. me through the basement and up
into the kitchen.

Walking into the kitchen I see my mother and Anna sat at the kitchen table, heads together and talking
low. Anna has changed into some grey leggings, one of my black t–shirts and a pair of flip flops, her
hair is in a messy bun piled onto the top of her head.
“And what are my two favourite ladies talking about?” Both of their heads swing to me, and they both
offer me smiles.
“Oh Henry, I’m glad to see you up and about.” My mother makes it sound like I’ve been in my sick bed
rather than locked away for the pack’s safety. I take a seat opposite Anna and see she has a daily
photo album in her hands.
“What you got there, little wolf?”
“I told Momma Beth about a dream I had, and she got this out.” She turns the album around to me and
points to a picture of my great great grandmother, “this was the lady in my dreams.”
“You sure it was here?” How can she dream about someone she has
never met?
“It was her! I swear it, I talked to her just like I’m talking to you now.” I believe her but I don’t know how
it’s possible to dream about someone you don’t know.
“She was the last Omega the Swfitmane pack had,” my mother says. while sipping on a coffee. “She
was a great woman, or so the stories. go. She could heal pack members with the touch of her hand.”
“So, she was a medicine woman?” I ask.
“No, she literally healed them with the touch of her hand. I never saw it of course but the pack kept her
stories alive over the years.” Mother sounds very convinced, I’m sceptical it sounds like campfire
stories if you ask me.

“Alright, well there is nothing we can do about a woman long dead.
Anna has a pup appointment to get to.” I stand up and offer my hand to
Anna.
“Thank you for showing me this Momma Beth.” Together we both head out of the kitchen and start a
slow walk to the medical centre.

Laid on the examination table I give a small jump at the cold gel being put on my rounded stomach,
“sorry I should have warned you it was cold.” Doctor Lee says. He takes a wand thing connected to a
monitor and starts moving it across my stomach. Fraction takes my hand from his seat on the left of
me, I look up at him with a smile, we are about to see our pup.
“Alright I’m just going to take some measurement and then I will show you the little fella.” We sit in
silence while ‘Doctor Lee does his thing. Soon he’s turning the monitor and pointing, “there he is. Ten
fingers, ten toes and measuring just right for the 2nd trimester.”
“Is that?” Fraction points.
“Yeah, that’s him making sure we know he’s a fella.” Doctor Lect responds.
“Take after his father.” My eyes widen with the statement as Doctor Lee and Fraction both turn to look
at me, “oh look he’s mooning us.” I “I say to take their eyes off me.
Doctor Lee takes the wand off my stomach and cleans the gel off with a blue rag. I sort my clothes and
sit up as Fraction hands me my flip flops.
“Alright, so the pup is looking to be growing exactly as I would expect. With Omega pregnancies they
tend to be shorter than other female

wolves. Female wolves usually carry for around six months, Omegas tend to be between three and four
months.” So soon I can’t help my hands going to my stomach as if I want the little guy to stay in there,
“don’t look so worried Luna. I will be here all the time to help you through this. We can take it day by
day.”
We bid Doctor Lee goodbye and started our walk back to the packhouse. “Anna?” I stop and turn to
Fraction, “can we agree that the pup will have a normal name?”
“So, no more Fraction’s?” I say with a laugh. He simply takes my hand and leads me back to the
packhouse. I laugh all the way home and he scowls at me.
