Chapter 12
Emma packed a small bag and sat at her computer. She was going to do some digging before she left to interview these men that had been captured by Alpha Liu’s team. She felt overwhelmed with the need to know if this was her fault. If it was, she didn’t know what she would do to fix the fact that she had made her mate a target. She also didn’t know what she would do if it wasn’t her fault. Right now she was focused on one thing alone and that was discovering where the threat came from. Once she had the answer to that, she would figure out the next step. Her keys clicked as she furiously typed. “I need to be two steps ahead, and I don’t like the unknown,” she muttered to herself. An alarm went off on her phone and she closed her computer. She would have to do more digging later. Now it was time to go. She grabbed her small bag and went downstairs to the front entrance. Beta Quincy was there waiting for her.

Quincy paced in front of the door, wondering how much longer she was going to be. He could pick up faint noises, but the room was almost soundproof. He didn’t think she was in danger, but she had been in there too long. As he debated interrupting her, the door finally opened. Emma stood in the doorway covered in blood. Quincy rushed up to her, “Luna, are you okay?” Emma nodded, “It’s not my blood. I left them alive. I think I have all of the information we are going to get from those three. I will leave them for the team to deal with as they see fit. Leave one alive with instructions to go back to his leader with a message.” Quincy nodded, “Okay. What do you want him to say?” Emma looked at him with glowing yellow eyes. She was on the edge of shifting and at her most dangerous. He could feel the anger rolling off of her. “Tell them that the Luna of Broken Paw Pack is coming for them and not even Hell is a safe hiding place.” Quincy stepped away from her as she shifted into wolf form.

Quincy followed Emma up several flights of stairs and through a maze of hallways. Finally, she stopped and entered the room without knocking. An older couple was sitting at a desk talking quietly. When she approached they looked up, "Emma, we weren't expecting you. What has happened?' Emma hugged the man and the woman. "Mom, Dad, this is my Beta Quincy. I came to discuss with the King an attack on my mate. It appears that he has been targeted because he is a pure lycan." Her parents looked surprised. "It's nice to meet you, Beta Quincy. Come and have a seat with us. Tell us everything you know." Emma and Quincy told them about the attack and the investigation. When they were done, her parents were thoughtful. "Well, I don't think it's a good idea for you to be in the middle of this in your condition. How far along are you?" Emma blushed but told her parents about the baby. She shared with them her fears of Alpha Daryl not waking up before the birth. "Don't worry dear. You are strong.

Emma sat typing at her computer as she waited for her assistant to arrive, and her phone notification pinged. She checked her messages and read what Quincy had sent her. ‘Do you want me to go to your appointment with you today?’ She smiled softly and replied, ‘You don’t have to come, but it would be nice to have someone there with me.’ Today Dr. Adams was going to do her first ultrasound and she hoped to find out the gender of the baby. She only had six weeks left of her pregnancy and she couldn’t believe how fast it was going. Veronica interrupted her thoughts, “Good morning, Luna.” She sat at the desk across from Emma with her notepad. “Good morning. I will be out of the office for the rest of the day. I’m going to grab some lunch and then I have an appointment with Dr. Adams this afternoon. Please have the security schedule on my desk in the morning for Beta Quincy and me to review and approve. I also need a list of all active Lunas and possible guest speakers on topics that you th

Quincy peeked into Alpha Daryl’s room and saw Emma sleeping. Looking back at the warrior he brought his finger up to his lips to stay quiet. ‘It’s about time she got some rest. Let me know when she wakes up.’ Quincy left her resting with her mate. He went back to his suite and packed his bag. Hera would be taking over her security while he was gone. Today he would be meeting with Alpha Liu’s team. They had some information to share with him before they provided it to the Lycan security team and would be pulling it out after their meeting today. ‘Beta Quincy, there is someone at the pack border asking for you. It appears that they are alone.’ One of the pack warriors linked him with a little concern in their voice. Quincy left his packing and headed to find out what was going on. ‘Did they give you a name,’ he asked. ‘No. It’s an injured she-wolf. She said she was sent with a message.’ Quincy picked up the pace from a stern walk to a run. “What the fuck is going on,” he asked himself a

Emma sat at her desk with Veronica seated across from her. “I want to know as soon as Beta Quincy makes it back here. I also need to see our visitor when she wakes up. Let Dr. Adams know that she is not to leave or have any visitors without my permission. Not even Beta Quincy. There are too many unknowns. I’ve spoken to Leo and Ivan. They are assigning Paul to guard her until we know more about why she is here. I will be leaving soon for a meeting, and I need to know that things are going to be okay here while I’m gone.” Veronica nodded and took notes as she spoke. I have a list of things I want for the nursery. Please get with the maintenance crew to get it done. Once I return from this trip, I don’t anticipate leaving the pack until after the baby is born. Please schedule any meetings to be done via Zoom or they can travel to our pack if a face-to-face is necessary. Let me think if there is anything else. This pregnancy brain is ridiculous, I’m forgetting stuff all the time and I ha

Quincy had never left a meeting so quickly in his life. He knew Emma wouldn't be happy with the news he would be bringing back, but he was more concerned about what he had left back at home. He drove as fast as he could and didn't relax until he hit the pack border. He threw the car into park and left his bag in the back seat. He may still need it, but for now, he wanted to find out about the injured woman that might be his half-sister. He linked Emma. "Luna, I'm back." He wanted to ask a million questions but he didn't. "Good. I am at the packhouse. Meet me here and we will go to the hospital together." Quincy took the steps two at a time and found Emma in the common room reading to a group of children. His heart stuttered at the sight of her with her round stomach and a handful of kids at her feet listening intently as she read The Cat in the Hat with silly voices. The moms sat quietly chatting and enjoying snacks while the kids were entertained. Quincy stood in the doorway watchi

The next few weeks flew by in a blur. Emma was busy getting things ready for the baby and managing the pack. She decided to push the Luna conference off until after the baby was born. She found she was running out of energy quicker and quicker as her due date approached. Every day went the same for her, and she enjoyed the routine of it. First thing in the morning she met with Quincy and then she went to the hospital to spend time with Daryl. Then she went on about her day, dealing with pack matters. She was assigning more duties to Quincy, and she wondered if she was putting too much on him. He spent a lot of time with his newfound sister, helping her adjust to the pack. He had appealed to the Lycan King to investigate her accusations against the Haunted Moon Pack. They were waiting for an answer, not that they would have any part in the investigation, but they both wanted justice for Alice. She was strong and sweet, but often scared and unsure of how to manage her trauma in situatio

Emma let go of the wall and swallowed hard, she did as he instructed. She slipped off her pants and underwear and he handed her the robe as he kept his eyes averted. Emma put the robe on and used a towel to wipe down her legs. “In the closet, I have a bag of things. There are waterproof mats to put on the bed for delivery. Can you get them?” Quincy nodded, “Yes, but let’s sit you down first.” He led her to the couch and waited for her to sit down before pulling out the bag of delivery things. He followed her instructions as he set about getting the room ready for her. He followed her as she climbed into bed.Finally, the nurse arrived with a cart full of things. “Luna, I hear that we are going to have a baby soon. Let me help you get ready.” Emma gave her a small smile. “Sure, thank you.” Quincy stood back as the nurse set things up. She placed a monitor on Emma’s stomach, “There, that’s the baby’s
