CHAPTER 10

ROMAN’S POV

“It was very kind of you to help those people today” he said.

‘’Really, it was Diamond not me. I don’t have that gift.”

“Well, you could make a lot of money finding mates.” Alpha Roman suggested to me, but Diamond doesn’t like to do it.

“Diamond says that mates are meant to find each other in their own time. She doesn’t want to make a habit of it. Matter of fact she only helped the alpha because his mate was so far away and he had already searched sincerely for so long.” Roman was happy that she had helped out the elders but he worried that word would get around about Destiny and put her in more danger than she was now.

Destiny’s POV

I invited Adrian for dinner, but he declined stating his mate liked alone time after work. It was understandable to me. The drive home was unusually quiet, and time passed slowly going home. I reflected on my life the last six months. Human girl in an all-human world with a life. Then in a matter of three weeks my life turned upside down. My coworkers were werewolves, I turned into a werewolf with powers, people were hunting me to sale me like a pet. I could fight really well, and my only best friend was a spirit animal named Diamond. I mean I had met Damien, my fated mate. We were very close but really, I had only known him about three months. Really where was I, who was I, who could I trust. Who really could I trust besides Diamond. Unshed tears started to fall. I was basically alone. By the time we pulled into the driveway I was in tears.

‘Hey, Hey…” Damien cooed. “Please don’t cry. What’s the matter, please tell me.”

“I ..” I stuttered “I don’t have anyone to trust. Everyone is out to get me or use me.”

“that’s not true, you can trust me I would never betray you.” And you can trust Adrian and Rocky, they are here to protect you. Just then I leaned over and opened the door and barfed my lunch contents up. Damien said.

“I don’t feel good, and my life is over as I know it.” I said.

“Ok lets get you to the pack doctor and see what is going on. You probably just have food poisoning and let some insecurities in your head. Close your door so we can leave. I drove her to the pack clinic and helped her inside. They took her in the back while I filled out her paperwork. In the back the clinic doctor asked me when my last heat was and how long it lasted. Did we use protection…I couldn’t remember. And then OH God, could I be pregnant. Damien would be so mad. Now I really had no one to lean on.

Damien came back to find me in hysterics crying that nobody loved me. He immediately came over and tried to console me, but I wasn’t having any of it. “I don’t need your pity party” I stated as he tried to console me.

What is wrong with her doctor?” Damien asked.

To which the doctor proclaimed “you have a very hormonal pregnant mate, congratulations, and condolences. He laughed and left.”

DAMIENS POV

A baby! I am going to be a daddy to a little pup. I ran over and hugged her tightly. “Don’t you worry little wolf; I will be the best daddy wolf ever.”

“But you don’t love meeee.” She wailed hiccupping.

“I love you to the moon and back little wolf.” I will spend the rest of my life proving it to you.

I asked the nurse when her next appointment was, and she stated in three weeks. Since werewolf births were at four to five months gestation she was close to a quarter way through and offered us ultra sound pictures which we both wanted. Hearing the heartbeat cheered up Destiny quite a bit which I was grateful for. I carried her out to the car with Adrian slapping me on the back in congratulations.

“What do you want for dinner baby” I said, “anything you want.”

“Sardine and mustard sandwiches with sliced tomatoes and pickle chips.” She hiccupped. I tried not to gag and said OK then that’s what we will get you. I drove to the little food mart, after dropping Damien off at home. I ran inside searching for sandwich makings and made sure to get some honey ham for myself. We went back home, and she sat on the couch while I made her sandwiches, and she relished them like they were candy. I didn’t know if I could kiss that mouth but thank God, she brushed her teeth afterwards. “That was the best sandwich I have ever had” she said.

That night I held her all night. Every time she stirred; I reaffirmed my love for her. The next morning, she wanted a normal breakfast and seemed to be ok in the hormone department. We picked up Adrian, as Rocky was still busy with his new mate and headed for work. She had no appointments that I knew of so we both settled into our cubicle to get to work. When Candice showed up. “I didn’t know you worked here.” Damien stated.

“I don’t I was looking for my brother” she snipped back at me while looking at Destiny. “I heard you were a match maker and was wondering if you would do it for me.

“I don’t perform” I stated flatly. “It is Diamonds gift that she gives at her discretion. She doesn’t seem to want to come forth. Destiny said flatly. Candace looked hurt but said nothing. Ok then, I will see my brother and she left. About twenty minutes later I was called to the alpha office and there was Cameron, the alpha, and Candace smiling smugly. Alpha asked me to perform a matchmaking for her and I flat out refused. This surprised the alpha tremendously.

“Why not” alpha Roman asked.

“Because we already had words this morning and I refused so she went over my head. This is not my gift, but Diamonds and I cannot force her to perform like a circus animal.” I said.

“Please as a favor to me” asked Cameron. “I would truly appreciate it.”

“She needs to know I am not a slave and I do not perform on demand” I said. “How old are you?” I asked.

“Twenty-two she replied.”

“Come back when your twenty-five if you haven’t found your mate and I will gladly help you.” I said, then I turned to the alpha. There has to be rules, or I will be treated like a prized cow and I won’t have it. From now on I will not consider anyone under twenty-five and not if they have already rejected a mate. I will consider someone who was rejected and or lost a mate somehow. With that she turned and left the office leaving Roman and Cameron with open mouthed shock.

She went downstairs and complained to Adrian about the whole situation. He was shocked that she backtalked the ranked members, but he also understood. She was hormonal and felt used. News of her rules spread quickly and soon she had a list of five people who qualified to her standards, so she agreed to see them. They met in the alphas office in case he needed to call a different pack for permissions to come on their lands. The first shifter was a fifty-five-year-old widow who wanted a second chance mate, but none was found for him. The second was a twenty-five-year-old warrior whose mate was a kitchen omega who was not quite eighteen. He decided to date her until she turned in three weeks. The third was a girl who was twenty-seven. Her mate was an omega in another pack. Alpha Roman made arrangements for her to go visit him. The fourth was an omega male who just turned twenty-five years old. His mate was working in the laundry of our own pack. He was very happy to have found her and the last was a commander who was thirty. His mate was an omega in our own pack and he chose to decline her. He was warned to reject her face to face, so she had a chance at a second chance mate.

Destiny’s POV

At the end of the day we had finished with all eligible people for matchmaking in our pack. I was thrilled to be finished. We took the road home and once again I was left to my own thoughts. My hormones were all over the place and finally Damien figured it out and kept my mind busy talking about the baby and creating a nursery. We decided to go with soft yellows and greens.

The next morning, we took both guards and went to human city shopping for nursery items. Adrian let me have whatever I wanted, which turned out to be a lot. I decided to go with Jenny Lind products which I thought were adorable. The crib was white but the sheet sets were yellow with green I love you written all over them. Then we looked at changing tables and picked out a matching one to the crib. Next was a wooden rocker glider that I feel in love with that had a pastel green pillow on the seat. Finally we bought two cases of diapers a diaper bag and accessories. I wanted to shop more but the SUV was full so Damien promised to bring me back next week when we found the gender of the baby so we could get some clothes to go with everything. We went home and unpacked the car by that time I was exhausted and we went to bed for the night after my sardine and mustard sandwiches of course.

The following week we went in to see the pack doctor to find the gender of the baby. We had both taken a personal day at the precinct so we could go shopping after. We were led back to a small room with a machine and a bed. I lay on the bed and pulled my shirt up to just under by breasts and waited for the technician to come in. when she entered the room, she turned on the machine and typed in our information. Then she squirted a cold gel all over my abdomen and placed a wand with a rubber ball thing on the end to my tummy. She started moving it around and said “There they are. “ we didn’t catch on until she said “baby A is a girl baby B is a boy” twins.

“Twins….twins….TWINS” Damien shouted. “We’re having twins!!” then he jump on the bed and started kissing my forehead.

“Are you mad?” I asked timidly.

“no I’m not mad. I’m ecstatic!! I so happy I could scream to the heavens “he shouted” Lets go shopping! So we left the clinic and went to human town to spend way too much money on baby clothes and extra diapers. We had lunch at a sushi bar and then came home putting everything away. I cried holding the tiny onesies that we had bought. We also picked up a second crib and a much larger diaper bag. When we had assembled everything we sent out a pack wide link that we were having TWINS.
