Rachel POV
On the Road
Bella made breakfast sandwiches for the road. She made enough for me, Nathan, and even Art. I wasn't sure what to expect for a trip with two Alphas though I was certainly grateful for the food to keep everyone busy in the beginning of the trip.
We got off to a rocky start since Art insisted Nathan drive and I sit in the backseat. He pointed out it was safer for me to be in the back which settled Nate down. I was still surprised he had refused to drive. Who knew an Alpha Inspector would admit to not being able to do anything at all better than everyone else? Art was a strange one.
Interstate traffic dropped off dramatically as we left the city. I lost track of time as the car sped up from a crawl to a steady cruising speed. I was happy to find out I had no motion sickness on the road. I hadn't been sure how pregnancy would affect me on a long trip.

Art POV Interstate Rest Stop We had covered a third of the distance to Moonglow Pack territory when we reached the most isolated rest stop I had been able to scout out on our route. "Stop at this rest area. Pull into a parking space. Don't get out." I knew the men following us worked for John Wright. I wasn't sure what their purpose was other than to annoy me and give me a grating headache as I tried to track them while also keeping up with our itinerary into enemy territory. They didn't appear to be much of a threat, but I was all too aware appearances could be deceiving. After all, it hadn't been a bulky Alpha who had cursed me and brought me low. I'd landed in my current circumstances courtesy of a tiny woman. Magic came in all shapes and sizes. Who knew what the pair behind us were capable of in a match? Plenty of animals fought back the most fiercely when they were cornered which was exactly what I was doing with them.
Nathan POVOn the Road"Cursed? You're cursed?"I had no idea what Art was talking about where telekinesis was concerned. I knew I'd never heard of wolves who could move things with their minds the way characters did in comic books. I also knew magic was something people might mention in passing, but no one really did it."Can we get a little more explanation on that, please?"Art snorted again -I was really starting to hate that sound- and shook his head, "No. Not a chance. Can't you crazy kids just keep yourselves busy for the rest of the trip? Daddy needs to take a nap."Faint lines of tension accentuated his eyes and mouth in a way I'd not seen before. I had a feeling he really did need a little bit to rest even if I had no idea how he'd mentally muscled those goons around in the parking lot."Sure, Dad. Can we play Twenty Questions?""How about the Quiet Game? Daddy has a headache."Rachel suddenly
