New Beginnings

CHAPTER 9

A/N at the bottom and in the A/N section, please read!

*Avon’s P.O.V.*

Sure, come on up. Is everything okay? She asks.

Honestly, I don’t know. I went up to her apartment and knocked on the door. She opened it quickly and let me in.

“What’s wrong? Your voice was off.”

“You can’t tell Jake. I don’t even know… do you have any pregnancy tests?” I finally blurted out.

My mom gasps, but nods her head, grabbing my hand and pulling me to the bathroom. She rummages under the bathroom sink briefly before pulling out a box that read Pregnancy Tests on it. She hands me the box. “The directions are in the box. Call me if you need me,” she says before leaving the bathroom, shutting the door behind herself.

I took several deep breaths before opening the box and reading the directions. Then I took the test and set a timer for 5 minutes. My heart was racing, my palms sweating, and I couldn’t stop myself from watching the dye run across the test face.

Less than 5 minutes later, I had my results clear as day. Two lines. Pregnant. Pregnant, I thought to myself. My hands automatically went to my abdomen where my pup was nestled, though my heart was still pounding inside my chest. I wasn’t sure if I was ready to be a mom, but ready or not, here he or she comes.

Banging on the door brought me back to reality, and I realized my phone timer was going off as well. I shook my head, shut the timer off and opened the door, not knowing what my face could possibly look like.

My mom took one look at me and pulled me into a hug; I hugged her back. “You’re going to be a great mom. You can do it, baby girl, I believe in you. You’ll have my help, Jake, his parents, John… you’ll have the whole pack to help you, even.”

I took a deep breath and released my mom. “Thank you, I needed to hear that. I was having an internal panic attack.”

“I could tell baby girl. I think everyone does, to be honest.”

“Probably.”

“Can I squeal now?” my mom asks and I can’t help but laugh as I nod my head, so she does.

“I’m going to have my first grandchild!” she squeals, pulling me in for a hug.

“How do I tell Jake? I want it to be perfect,” I say.

“Hm… why don’t we go shopping for some inspiration?” she asks and I nod. I grab the test and push it into my pocket while my mom hides the box in the trash.

Dr. Bryant, can I come see you for bloodwork really quick? I mind link her.

Of course, Luna, she replies. My mom and I head to the pack hospital to Dr. Bryant’s floor, where she is waiting in reception.

“Luna, former Beta Jessi, what can I help you with?” she asks.

I pull out the test and show her. She clasps her hand over her mouth and nods, motioning for us to follow her into an exam room, which we do.

“I’m going to draw some blood, okay?” she asks, and I nod.

She draws the blood and takes it to the lab after asking us to wait a bit. When she returns, she bows with a smile on her face.

“You are indeed expecting, Luna Avon. It appears you are approximately 7 days along, based on your beta hcG levels. I’d like to see you back in a week to do your first ultrasound.”

“Thank you, Dr. Bryant,” I tell her, and she bows before leaving the room.

“Okay, now let’s go shopping,” my mom says excitedly, clapping her hands together. I laugh and nod, mind linking Jake to let him know that we were going out while my mom mind linked former Beta John. Then we headed to the craft store on the territory.

We walked up and down the aisles, trying to come up with different ideas. She suggested a chalkboard with 1 + 1 = 3? Idea, and I liked it, so we got the supplies but kept looking just in case.

Then I smelled Kailani’s distinct scent. I sniffed again and followed it. My mom followed behind me. I found her two aisles over, and we were the only ones in the store shopping.

“Kailani?” I asked while she was staring down at the heat transfer vinyl. She jumped and looked up.

“Avon? What are you doing here?” she asked, her voice giving away her nervousness.

“Um… uh… we’re um…” I stammered, trying to come up with a reason.

“The same reason I am, maybe?” she asked, and I c****d my head at her. “Trying to come up with a pregnancy reveal,” she said with a smile.

I squealed, and so did my mom. “You’re pregnant? How far along? Yes, I am, too, but we’ve only come up with one idea so far,” I rambled.

“Oh yay! We’re going to be pregnancy buddies!” she exclaimed. “I’m about two weeks along; I just had my first ultrasound. What idea did you come up with?”

“Mine is next week. We were thinking at chalkboard with 1 +1 = 3? With the pregnancy test and an ultrasound attached, but I’m not so sure about that. What were you thinking?”

“I have a Cricut and was going to make a neutral-colored onesie with a design on it, but I honestly like your chalkboard idea more.”

“I like the onesie idea more. Could you make a onesie with a wolf howling at the moon on it?” I asked, smiling.

“Of course. So, does that mean I can use the chalkboard idea?” she asks as she smiles in return.

I nod. “We’ll get a onesie and use black vinyl, sound okay?” She nods in response and grabs some black heat transfer vinyl. I take it from her and put it in my basket. “Let’s go,” I say and lead the way to the register. Once everything is rung up, I swipe the card Jake had gotten me connected to his bank account.

“Avon, I can…”

“Hush, Kailani. I got it, it’s no big deal,” I tell her and she just nods again. I hand the bag of items to her and we leave. “I’ll bring the onesie to your apartment once we get back,” I tell her.

“Okay,” she says, and gets in her black sedan to head back to the packhouse. My mom and I get in my white sedan and head to the baby store in the territory. We go inside and I grab a newborn plain yellow onesie and purchase it before we head back to the packhouse. I go up to Kailani and Gideon’s apartment while my mom goes her own way.

Kailani takes the onesie and shows me several different designs, and I pick the one I like the most. “Do you want it to say anything?” she asks me and I shake my head.

“How long will it take to make?” I ask her.

“A few hours at most, probably less than that.”

“Okay, let me know when it’s ready,” I tell her and she nods before I leave her apartment.

I head up to the apartment and decide to have a thorough look around. When you first walk in there’s a deep blue runner that separates the kitchen and the living room.

The kitchen is to the left, and the living room to the right. The floors are grey wood, and the kitchen has stainless steel appliances. The cabinets are white and fit perfectly with everything. The dining room is on the far back left wall with a 6-seater table that has wrought iron legs with a glass top.

The living room has a grey couch and two darker grey loveseats facing a huge TV on the far right wall. Beyond the living room on the back wall is a balcony. Before the balcony, there is two loveseats that sit perpendicular to each other and face massive grey bookshelves that are lined with books and décor.

On the balcony, there is a glass top table with four chairs around it and two cushioned tanning chairs.

Between the kitchen and dining room is a hallway that leads to the master bedroom, with a half bath on the same hall way. Between the living area and reading area/balcony is another hallway that I assume leads to more bedrooms.

I follow the hallway and find four bedrooms and find that they are connected by jack-and-jill bathrooms. There is a linen closet between each bedroom with two bedrooms on each side of the hallway.

I walk back to the other side of the apartment and head to our bedroom to find the bed linen has been changed. The bed is now covered by a deep blue and black duvet with wolves on it, and the sheets are deep blue as well.

I head back out to the reading area, grab a random book from the shelves and go back to the bedroom to begin reading. I find that it’s a murder mystery novel. My eyes become heavy, so I set the book on the nightstand and lay down, allowing sleep to consume me.

I am woken by Jake when he crawls into bed behind me and pulls me close to his body. I hum softly in satisfaction as the sparks erupt wherever we are touching.

“I’m sorry, did I wake you?” he asks.

“A little,” I mumble, still sleepy.

“Well, get some more rest, dinner isn’t for another hour.”

I turn and face him, pulling his face to mine as our lips connect.

“Avon…” he moans into the kiss.

I just continue to kiss him as I move to straddle him. I can feel his d**k hardening between us, and I moan as I start grinding against him. I can feel myself dripping wet, and suddenly I’m underneath Jake. He rips my clothes off, exposing me, and I pull his shirt off of him before unbuckling his belt and pants.

He stands up to remove his bottoms, and then he’s on top of me again, kissing me with so much need and passion, grinding his rock-hard c**k against my s*x.

I moan into the kiss, allowing his tongue entrance into my mouth. Our tongues move together as we taste each other, his hands gripping my breasts and massaging them gently. He trails his kisses down my chest before taking one breast into his mouth, sucking on it and licking my n****e, making me moan again as he continues to knead my other breast.

He switches his assault to my other breast, and I feel him trail his hand down to my s*x. His fingers move around it slowly, getting coated in my juices. “So f*****g wet already,” he murmurs as he releases my breast and trails kisses down to me s*x.

He spreads my legs and his mouth is on my s*x instantly, sucking and lapping at my juices before pulling my c**t into his mouth at the same time he inserted two fingers inside me. I gasped and arched my back at the feeling as Jake began to pump his fingers in and out, hitting my sweet spot perfectly each time.

“Oh, f**k, I’m going to come,” I gasp as waves of pleasure ripple through my body. He continues to suck, lick and nip at my c**t as the orgasm continues to wash over me. When I finish coming down from my high, he removes his fingers, licking me from top to bottom before sucking on the two fingers he just had inside me.

He kisses his way back up, stopping only to lavish each breast with attention before his mouth is on mine. I can taste myself on his lips and in his mouth, and oddly enough, that only made him taste that much better.

He guides his rock-hard c**k to my entrance with one hand and coats it in my juices before slowly pushing himself in. I gasp at the feeling, moaning in pleasure as he begins to thrust in and out of me slowly, hitting my sweet spot and bottoming out each time.

“Jake, don’t stop,” I plead, and he only picks up the pace, causing another orgasm to rip through me. “Oh, my… fuuuuck,” I moan as euphoria takes over. When the orgasm subsides, I begin to clench my internal walls around him, and he moans.

He pulls out and I whimper at first, only to find that he’s merely switching positions and is picking me up to ride him. I guide him to my entrance and slowly lower myself down on him, taking every inch he has to offer.

This position allows for deeper penetration, and I moan as another orgasm overtakes me immediately. I began to grind my hips, rotating them as I place my hands on his shoulders for balance and support.

Jake begins to thrust upwards as I move my hips every which way, and his thrusting becomes more erratic. I’m getting close to another climax, so I bottom out as hard as I can as my insides clench around his d**k.

I push his head to the side and bite down on his mark, making him growl and groan as he climaxes. I feel his d**k twitching inside me as spurt after spurt of his seed fills me up.

As soon as he stops twitching inside me, he falls backwards, taking me with him. We lay there with my on top of him, breathing heavily, when I receive a mind link from Kailani.

The onesie is done and ready for you.

Thank you, I’ll be right down to get it.

No need, it’s in a gift bag outside your door.

Thanks, Kailani, you’re the best!

She laughs into the link and then cuts it. I slip off of Jake and throw my robe and panties on after wiping myself clean. I go out and open the apartment door, and sure enough, a tiny silver gift bag sat outside the door with silver tissue paper sticking out. I pick it up and shut the door, turning around to find Jake standing off to the side, out of view of the door, still stark naked.

“What’s that?” he asks.

“It’s for you,” I tell him, trying to hide my smile.

“Me? What for?”

“You’ll see,” I say cryptically.

“Am I allowed to open it now?” he asks.

I laugh and nod, grabbing his hand and leading him to the bedroom before he can open it.

“I thought I could open it now?” Jake asks.

“Now you can,” I say, and he pulls the tissue paper out before reaching in and pulling out the onesie. He holds it up and looks at it, then at me, back at the onesie, and finally back at me.

“Does this… is this… are you…” he stutters.

“Yes.”

“I’m going to be a daddy? We’re having a pup?” he asks for clarification. I just nod and he yells, “YES!” at the top of his lungs before he runs over and pulls me into a hug. “You have made me the happiest person alive,” he says into my neck.

He pulls away. “When did you find out? How far along are you?”

“Today, and a week. We’ll have a better estimate once I get my first ultrasound next week.”

“YES!” he yells again as he literally jumps for joy like a little kid on Christmas day who just got what he asked for.

Alpha, Luna? I receive a mind link at the same time Jake does.

Yes? I respond.

Um… I think my son is a silver wolf, Meadow says through the mind link.

Meet us in my office, Jake replies as he begins to get dressed. He throws on some jeans and a polo and I rush to get dressed in jeans and a blouse.

We head down to Jake’s office, and he still has the biggest smile plastered on his face.

“Time to get to work,” I say, and he nods, suddenly becoming serious.

We find Meadow and Atlas standing outside the office. We walk in and they shut the door behind them.

“Atlas, how old are you?” I asked.

“Fifteen.”

“When did you gain your wolf?”

“Today, it’s my birthday.”

“Happy birthday. And your wolf, he’s silver?”

“Thank you. Yes.”

“What’s his name?”

“Helios,” Atlas answered.

“God of the sun,” I said, as I added onto the chart that Jake’s parents had started.

So far, we had Doc/Asclepius, God of Health and Medicine; Beta Harley/Nike of Harvest Moon, the Goddess representing victory, speed, strength, and triumph; Beta Ryan/Poseidon, the God of the sea; Ezekiel/Aether, the God representing upper air, light, the atmosphere, space, and heaven; and Atlas/Helios, the God representing the sun.

“You will have to train and focus on what powers you may possess,” I told Atlas, and he nodded. “Since Helios is the God of the sun, I suspect your emotions can control the sun. In example, you can make the sun disappear. But you have to figure out which emotion controls it. I’m honestly not sure how to be of use yet.”

He nods and he and Meadow bow before leaving the office. I sigh, running my hand through my hair.

“What’s wrong, love?” Jake asks me.

“How are we supposed to help them learn to control their powers if we haven’t a clue what their powers even are?”

“We’ll figure it out, love. I know we will,” Jake said and pulled me to him. I breathed in his calming scent and relaxed before my vision went dark, and then I was somewhere else completely.

A/N: 4/8/22 Happy Mother's Day!!!

this would not fit in in the A/N section.

I wanted to apologize again for the delay in updates. I have at minimum 7 insicions on my left foot and am in severe pain; they have me on 8 mg of Dilaudid by mouth every 4 hrs as needed, which it is needed. as you can imagine, due to this, my function is not all that great (it has taken me longer to type this than I care to admit) so my function in typing a story is slim to none... but I do have to let you all, my lovely readers, know, this story has not been forgotten or abandoned. in fact, it has given me time to think about some possible plots/twists.

Also, this book may be moving to PTR further into it and starting on chapter 9-11 (haven't decided which yet)

would you still read if it were PTR?

Thank you for your continued patience and understanding!!!

A/N 09/19/2022

I wanted to apologize again for the delay in updates. I have had a lot of stuff going on in real life, along with other health issues that needed attention first. I am going to reread the story to refresh my memory and begin working on updates. I am truly sorry, but my health and wellbeing will always come before writing. But the good news is I am doing a lot better and am ready to start writing again, because I know it will also help me get better, too. Thank you for your understanding, my lovely readers.
