Chapter 29: Whatever you are.

I don't know what I expected as a response.I don't even know why I came here to tell her first, but I needed to tell someone, and apart from Courtney and Lucy, I have no other friends in the pack. One friend already betrayed me, already colluded with my husband and the Alpha Council to keep me barren.Lucy is Jack's nanny and the only other person I’d like to trust in this pack. It takes a second, but Lucy's smile appears instantly, bright and wide as her face lights up in happiness.“Oh, Destiny. That's... that's wonderful news.”For half a heartbeat, that smile freezes. Something in my mind tells me to see the way her shoulders stiffen and the way her fingers curl into her palm. But it's there and gone in a second. The next second, Lucy is walking over and sitting on the bed beside me, concern in her voice as she asks gently, “Are you sure though? I mean, after everything... the contraceptive pills....How can you be pregnant? Did you stop taking them?”I shake my head, happy to se

Chapter 30: Fight for Yourself.

Morning comes, and when I stare at myself in my familiar bathroom mirror, there's an uncanny smile on the side of my face.I don't know if it's because of the news or if it's just because I woke up on the right side of the bed... I do know that when I shower, though, my mind casually drifts to how pink is such a typical color for a girl's room.If the baby's a girl, I would want to do something with pastels. I'd want the room to look like something out of a Barbie movie. If the baby's a boy, I wouldn't know what to do in terms of a room.I could decorate it the same way I did Jack's room when he was little, or better yet, I could use Jack's old room. The thought of going back to the packhouse immediately sours my mood, but the thought of how happy Jack will be when I tell him the news sweetens it back up.I decided it last night, right before I went to bed.The only person I want to tell the good news to is Jack. Might not be the best way to preserve a secret, but it's not going to be

Chapter 31: I DID NOT KILL TRACY WOODS.

One of the elders clears his throat, drawing the attention of everyone at the table to him as he speaks, "Luna Destiny, the accusation here is serious.While it isn't a crime to get pregnant in the pack, the pact the Alpha made with the council was clear. As retribution for killing Tracy Woods, you would not be allowed to get pregnant or have a child of your own. The Alpha promised us this as a condition for you being left alive.The agreement you just violated by getting pregnant is the only thing that is stopping the punishment for killing Tracy from falling on you."A chuckle leaves my lips.It's soft at first, almost silent, but I know each of them hears it. If not for the cold rage coursing through me, I would spit in their faces.My voice is cold when I respond, "So five years being ridiculed and maltreated while being the Luna of this pack wasn't punishment enough?"A frown lines the faces of every member seated at the table, but I do not back down."When the founding wolves of

Chapter 32: Avenged.

“What are we gathered to discuss?” Coren asks coolly.“She’s pregnant.” Bob wheezes weakly from the floor.I can’t help but watch as Maria helps Bob up and into a seat. He has a hand firmly clutched to his chest and such a look of pain on his face that I almost feel bad.Bob Woods may have been a warrior wolf, but that was when he was in his prime. Right now, he has grey hair in his head and wrinkles on his face. He’s an old man. And he’s lucky to have survived that punch from an Alpha like Coren.Coren’s eyes immediately flash to me and I can’t name the emotion I see in them.There’s a shine of happiness in his eyes, but barely any surprise. He looks like a puppy that has just been given a treat as he asks, “You’re pregnant?”I nod while trying not to make Coren feel like this improves or changes anything between us.This pregnancy isn’t a ticket for him to walk back into my life or force me back into the packhouse. After all, he’s the reason I’m standing in front of this council toda

Chapter 33: The Oath.

"That's absurd!"An elder's voice erupts, thundering in fury.The other elders join in, each of them whispering or shouting something about how disrespectful this is, but my focus isn't on any of them. It's on the two people who have made my life a hellhole in this pack since the disappearance of their daughter.Maria scoffs and grips her husband's hand, hard."Don't listen to her, dear. She's... She's just provoking you. There's nothing to even consider there." Her gaze fixes on me and narrows, "In fact, how dare you!How dare you stand before this council and suggest something as absurd as that, against a family that has been in this pack for ages? You’re the outsider here!"Maria is fuming, old face red and stray wisps of hair flying around her face."Even if you wanted something like this to be done, this isn't the right way to do it. You're not following procedure so why should we agree to what you just said?"Maria's voice drips with hate, but there's also notes of fear in there

Chapter 34: Big Brother.

Tracy's POV.I'm standing in the pack kitchens when I feel it.My wolf, Selina, whimpers in my mind and a feeling of wrongness passes through me. All of a sudden it feels like I'm going to be sick and I wait."Lucy, can you hand me the plates there?”I wait for the feeling to pass, but it doesn't. “Luc… Hey!"I push past the kitchen maid and run to the nearest restroom and hurl my guts out. What food I've been able to get down my throat today comes back up as my stomach cramps painfully.For a moment all I can feel is fear. A deep, crippling fear that reeks of one thing: magic.Whatever this is, it isn't normal. I'm not vomiting because I'm sick, I'm vomiting because something just happened somewhere and I was dragged into it. I look back to see the packhouse maids gathered at the door and staring at me with suspicion in their eyes."Lucy, are you okay?"I hear the sugary tone Tanya uses to ask me that question, but I also know what's going on behind those beady, greedy eyes. She's pro

Chapter 35: Seeds get planted first.

I feel like someone just stabbed a knife through my heart.My grip tightens over Jack's lunchbox as I grit out, "Where did you hear that?"His excitement doesn't even dim a bit as he responds, "That's what they're all saying."I want to grab his arm and shake him while I ask who the hell "they" are, but the presence of a teacher right down the hall makes me not do that. That and the fact that Jack is Destiny's sweetheart and if I was to lay a hand on him, even our new friendship would not protect me from her wrath."Is Destiny at the packhouse, Lucy? I want to see her. If she isn't there, can you take me to my grandma's place?"I scoff lightly and murmur, "Why would Destiny be at your grandma's place? Last I heard she hates Destiny's guts."Jack's smile drops and a serious tone enters his voice, "I didn't mean Grandma Maria's place. I know Grandma Maria doesn't like Destiny so she wouldn't go to her house."My mood is already irritable and hearing my own son backtalk me isn't helping.

Chapter 36: Understand.

Jack is quiet at the breakfast table the next morning.I press the pads of my palms into my eyes irritatedly and groan at the headache slowly building at the back of my head. I couldn't get any good sleep last night and when I woke up this morning, my mood was worse than it was when I went to bed.I've tried to avoid anything that would make me attack anyone, because I swear, if I hear Suzanne's gossip-filled lips prattling on about Destiny's pregnancy close to me, I will strangle her. They'll definitely know something is definitely wrong with Lucy then and stop me from being Jack's nanny.I have to be careful if I plan to kill Destiny before her oath catches up with my family, but I'm happy to see someone is in as bad of a mood as I am.I watch as Jack's eyes constantly stray to Destiny's empty seat at the table. Coren isn't here at the table with him; he hasn't been a regular appearance at breakfast ever since Destiny moved out, so it's only Jack at the table most days. Destiny come

Chapter 37: Shy Lucy has a crush on Coren.

The door creaks open slowly as i step into Coren's study.My heart is calm and steady but the look on my face is one of concern.Coren has his eyes firmly fixed on his phone, his ears blocked with an earpiece while he stares at the screen with rapt attention.He doesn't notice me come in but i didn't wear this dress just to be ignored. I clear my throat and watch as his eyes slowly rise.I see the moment Coren's eyes take in my dress, a striking body hugging mini in a blood red that commands attention. The long fitted sleeves lend a modest edge to the dress, but then his eyes fly to the plunging deep V neckline that drapes softly over my chest, revealing just enough boob to be irresistibly seductive and i see the way his gaze darkens.Coren's eyes travel over the rest of my body, watching the way the fabric of the dress clings smoothly to my curves and accentuates my waist and flows over my hips in a way that feels like the dress has been moulded onto my skin.The hemline stops right

Chapter 38: Valentine's special.

Lucy's body makes what should have been a pleasurable experience suddenly an embarrassing one.Coren didn't have to tell me to wait.He didn't have to follow me out of his study, but he did and now I'm sitting in the back of his car, the scent of him surrounding me like sexy cologne.I can't even remember how the conversation about Jack ended again.I think he said something like, "I'll think about what you said. About Jack."I lowered my eyes modestly as always and squeaked out a satisfied, "Thank you."A brief pause stretched between us where his gaze drifted over my dress again. It barely lasted a second but it was enough for me to notice.Coren stood up and grabbed his car keys in the same motion, "I can see you have dinner plans. It's late so I'll drive you."I couldn't refuse, and while I felt happy that I got his attention enough for him to offer me a ride, I cursed the decision to choose Lucy's body the moment he stepped into my space once again.How could I not suspect she wou
