Alpha's Mysterious Luna.

14 Malekai

I sit here staring at Angie for a moment completely stunned. After we found out that Angie is pregnant, we decided to wait to tell anyone until after her third week.

Angie and I have been trying to have a baby for a while and she has been pregnant twice. Both times she miscarried. Both times we were heart broken. Angie blamed herself. She thought somehow it was her fault, even though Dr. Baldwin said that these things happen and there was nothing she could have done differently..

We lost both of them in the second week so we figured if we could get past then, it would be safe to tell people this time.

We had talked about it for half the night last night and had agreed that we would wait and when it was time we would tell people together.

I had to give my mate some credit though, she tried her hardest not to say anything until Seraphine started asking questions, or rather she was able to tell that something is different about Angie by the way she smells. Seraphine isn't a wolf so I wouldn't have thought she'd have noticed.

I had a feeling though that she might get too excited and tell the Luna. She was determined to make Seraphine her best friend.

Ever since I had told Angie that Alexander had found his mate she had done nothing but talk about her non stop. She had so many questions.

Angie said, "I can't wait to find out her name! I'm so excited we finally have a Luna! I wonder where she's from! I hope she likes it here! I finally am going to have a best friend!" I couldn't help but smile at her. Angie had long been waiting for her.

When Jackson found his mate Lexi, Angie had tried her hardest to make friends with her and to make Lexi feel welcome. She invited her to do things and go places. She brought her presents and would bake her muffins.

Angie tried everything. Nothing seemed to spark a friendship between them and so after a while Angie stopped trying. It made Angie a little sad.

Eventually she asked Jackson why Lexi just didn't seem to like her. Jackson told Angie not to take it personally. He explained that Lexi liked to keep to herself and was shy, almost scared, around people, because of some really bad things that happened to her before she came to our pack.

Jackson told Angie that it isn't anything that she was doing wrong. Lexi just doesn't do very well with other people.

So Angie decided to start writing her letters, and giving them to Jackson to give to her about once a week. Angie wanted Lexi to know she wasn't alone.

Lexi writes back and has Jackson pass the letter to Angie, once a week.

It wasn't the friend she was hoping for. I think Angie praying to the Moon Goddess at every full Moon was not just to bring us a Luna but to bring Angie a friend too. Someone she could do things with, and share her secrets with.

Seraphine is fast becoming that friend, And I can't blame my mate for wanting to share this with her. In the event that Angie and I lose this baby too, Seraphine may be the only thing that keeps Angie from sinking into her sadness. I guess in truth I hadn't realized how badly Angie needed her.

I hadn't realized how much we all need her. I can't remember a time when my Alpha or my mate have been so happy.

Seraphine makes this pack complete, and as much as I joke about being her best friend too, I have also been changed by her.

Maybe Seraphine being here has changed our fate. Maybe things will be different now for all of us. If the Moon Goddess really answered Angie's prayers and sent her here anything is possible.

I must have a ridiculous look on my face because both Angie and Alexander are staring at me with their eyebrows raised.

"Oh my Goddess Angie! That's amazing!" Seraphine squeals and hugs her tightly being careful not to squeeze too hard.

"Congrats man!" Alexander says slapping me on the back. "When did you guys find out?" He asks me.

"Uh, yesterday. When I walked over to the hospital with you, I was meeting Angie at her appointment." I say to him.

"When are you due?" Alexander asks Angie.

"I'm only in my first week. That wasn't even what my appointment was actually for. I had asked Dr. Baldwin to check me out cause I've been feeling really tired lately. If I sit down for more than five minutes I start to fall asleep. Well aparently that is why." Angie says excitedly.

"Yeah day before yesterday during training Angie went to take a break and fell asleep leaning against a tree." I tell them.

"I just can't wait to find out if it's a boy or a girl. I'm not one of those people who wants to wait until it's born and be surprised." Angie says.

"In truth I thought we were gonna wait to tell people until the end of next week." I say squinting my eyes at my mate.

"Oh uh, well we are. The Alpha and Luna don't count. We have to tell them. Especially since I won't be training anymore until the baby is born, and because Seraphine is my bestie." Angie says smiling, and putting her arm around Seraphine.

Seraphine leans her head against Angie's and smiles.

"Wait, so that means I'm going to be training alone?" Seraphine asks Angie

"Yeah, for a while anyway. Technically you won't be alone, there will be other warriors to sparr with, and Alexander will be there." Angie says.

Seraphine looks at her mate and says, "Yeah but it not the same. Alexander will go easy on me." Seraphine says to her.

"Hey, that's not true, Im a tough trainer." Alexander says.

Seraphine smiles. "Yeah on everyone else maybe, but you would never hit me hard enough to leave bruises." Seraphine says.

"I think I can trust Angie to give me a good punch, If I leave myself open, or am not paying attention. You would feel horrible if you hit me for real my love." Seraphine says to him.

We all stare at Seraphine for a minute, and realize she's probably right. Our Alpha is really tough on us during training but I can't imagine him punching Seraphine or throwing her to the ground.

"You know she's right, but it's only for a few weeks, thank Goddess. After that I promise I'll be kicking your butt all over the training pitch." Angie says smiling.

"I'd like to say I can't wait but now I think I'm kind of scared." Seraphine says.

Alexander and I laugh.

Truthfully I don't know that I would want Angie to be my partner if I was just now training with the other fighters. Out of All of our female warriors Angie is our toughest. Our meanest too. On days that Angie would go out to the training grounds to get out her frustrations, many of our warriors would end up in the hospital being treated by Dr. Baldwin.

Angie has a bad habit of breaking arms and noses. Sometimes ribs and finger, and although most of those injuries heal quickly on their own because we are wolves, broken bones still need to be set, or straightened to heal properly.

Last time I checked, the nurses at the hospital are keeping count, as to who inflicts the most injuries, during training. Angie is the clear winner.

Alexander and I are both on that list. Both of us with broken ribs, plus a broken thumb for our Alpha.

I secretly love how strong she is, how she is able to defend herself against any man or wolf. She makes me proud that she is my mate. However telling her that would probably make her go harder on us.

Right now though I have to do all I can to keep her safe, and try and get her to take it easy. If we lose this baby I'm not sure Angie will recover from the loss like before. I'm not sure if I will either.

As I sit here watching her talk to Alexander and Seraphine, I just hope that Angie I can get through the next weeks without any problems. I want kids someday, we both do, but I need Angie. I'm not sure I can live without her. I wouldn't know how.

"So have you got any names picked out yet?" Seraphine asks me.

I shake my head. "Nope. Not yet. We're not quite there yet." I say to her.

She nods her head and smiles at Angie as she takes a couple of sausages off of the plate in front of us and devours them.

"You know what's weird though? I keep craving meat. Like hamburgers and meatloaf, and oh, a big fat juicy steak! I know when you're pregnant you are suppose to crave weird things but I think my wolf Alina's cravings are over powering mine." Angie says eating another sausage.

"I bet your mom is going to be so excited." Alexander says to me.

"Yeah, I bet so too, but like I said we're waiting to tell everyone else so let's try and keep it quiet for now." I tell them keeping my voice low since my mom is just a dozen or more feet away from us in the other room.

I decide to be a little bit bold and ask Both Seraphine and Alexander when they were gonna produce the next heir to the Alpha seat.

I was mostly asking Seraphine. "So when are you two gonna get busy bringing our next Alpha into the world?" I say smiling widely.

Alexander frowns and says, "Jeez bro are you tired of me already?"
