Zions' P.O.V. As Rain and Jessica look around her new office, I link Ms.Blanch, asking her to get someone to bring their planning folders and any more papers they may need to her office. She says she will get one of the new assistants that Jessica and Rain hired to bring everything over for me. I close the link after thanking her and then turn my attention to my mate and her sister. "Ms.Blanch will have one of the new assistants bring the planning folders and everything needed to finalize the plans. They should be here soon." I tell her. "That's great. Thank you." She says with a smile, walking around her desk and sitting down in her new chair. "You look comfortable," I say with a laugh. "Well, what did you expect? You did an amazing job with everything." She replies with a giggle. "Thank you for the high praise, my Queen," I say. "We'll let y'all get settled in while Orian and I get some work done in my office. We'll come to get y'a
Rains' P.O.V. After Zion and Orian leave my new office, Jess and I sit around talking and looking around while we wait for the folders to finish the plans for the orphanage to arrive. Ten minutes later, Amiliea, the new assistant Jess hired to help Ms.Blanch around the orphanage, knocked on the door. Jess lets her in, and she greets us with a smile. I ask her how everything is going in her new position. "It's great. The kids are all so adorable and so much fun to be around. I've even decided to adopt one of the teens." She says with a huge grin. "That's great!" Jess and I say in unison, overjoyed by her news. "Tell us about them," Jess says. "Her name is Isha. She's fifteen and full of life." Amiliea says with excitement. "Do you need any help with anything for the new addition to your family?" I ask her. "No, but thank you for asking, my Queen. My mate and I have everything almost set up. We haven't told Isha about the adoption yet
Zions' P.O.V. As Christian and I discuss how things will work while we find a replacement for the Alpha position, I hear Rain and Jessica giggling about something, but before I can ask what they're planning, Orian walks back into the office with a smile. "Looks like Nick might have to skip the council meeting." He says with a laugh. "I kinda figured that. Did Mia introduce him to Annie?" I asked Orian. "Yup, then she took him to her room." He answers with a sly smile making me laugh. "Who is Annie?" Christian asks us. "She is Mias' daughter." Orian answers and Christian nods his head in understanding. "The meeting is about to start. Annie says she'll have snacks and drinks ready in the meeting room." Orian says. *********************************** Rains' P.O.V. We make our way out of the office and down the hall into a big room with a large table
After talking to Lord Demetrius about Odett's aging process and mating situation, I think Zion and I both felt better about everything. But at the same time, it makes me sad that I would only have a few years with her as my baby girl before she becomes an adult. She'll always be my baby, but I won't be able to hold her like I do now. As if sensing my discomfort with my thoughts, Zion kisses my cheek, pulling me from my thoughts and back to reality. "Are you okay, my love?" Zion asks me. "Yea, just thinking about the future with Odett," I answer. "And it made you sad?" He asks, confused. "The thought that I just found my baby girl and only have a few more years with her as my baby girl makes me sad," I say. "Everything will be okay. Odett will always be our baby girl, no matter what." He says with a smile as he runs his fingers through my hair, and my anxiety instantly melts away. "You're right. I think I'm overreacting." I tell him. "It's okay, my love. There's no
Zions' P.O.V. As we discuss the idea of my cousin Eithan becoming the new Alpha of the Blue River Pack and Mias' transfer to be with her mate Nick, Orian links me to let us know that they are all packed. I tell him we will meet them at the front entrance, then I link Stephanie, asking her if they are almost here, and she says they will be back in less than ten minutes. When I tell Rain, she nods and stands up, but her face goes pale as he body goes limp, and she begins to fall to the ground. I catch her quickly before she can hit the ground, holding her close to me while Sam, Christan, and Mathew jump to their feet quickly. "Are you okay, my love?" I ask her, and I can't tell if she is shaking or if I'm shaking since my nerves are sky-high at the moment. "I'm okay. I just got a little dizzy." She says, but I can tell she's worried as well. "Maybe we should go see Doctor Jameson," I suggest. "I'm okay." She says as she shakes her head
Rains' P.O.V. After Doctor Jameson explains that Dosha's tiredness and my dizziness could be symptoms of the twins growing faster than normal werewolf pups, he tells us that he will give me some extra prenatal and that I will need to eat more protein-enriched foods to help with the dizziness. When he leaves the room to print off the new sonogram pictures, I look over at Zion, who looks nervous. When I tell him that everything is going to be okay, he nods as he pulls me close. "I know, my love. But I can't help but worry." He says, and I wrap my arms around his waist. "I don't know what I would do if I lost you." "You won't lose me, I promise," I say as I pull away and look him in the eyes. "How do you know?" He asks, and I can hear the emotion in his voice. "Because I choose to believe the goddesses planned for us to bring these amazing pups into the world. They wouldn't give us such an incredible gift and then take everything away.
Zions' P.O.V. After Rain and I get back to our suite and get her comfortable on the couch, Odett comes running into the room. They decide to watch a movie while Sam links me to let me know Orian and Jessica have arrived at the Blue River Pack and are waiting on me to call them. I tell him I would meet him in my office in a few minutes. I tell Rain that I have some work to take care of, and she asks me to bring her a smoothie on my way back, followed by Odett saying she wanted one, too. I asked what flavor and Kissed them on their foreheads after they said strawberry. I told them I loved them and left our suite, heading for my office. "How's the Queen feeling?" Sam asked as I walked into my office. "Tired. Rain's putting on a strong facade, but I know she's scared. The twins are growing faster than they should be, and the doctor believes it's a mixture of our royal bloodlines and her being a hybrid. Honestly, we don't know anything about hybrids
Rains' P.O.V.After talking with Zion for an hour, Odett began to stir on the couch. I approached her, massaging her back to wake her up, and told her Zion had brought her a smoothie, which I handed her. She grinned as she sipped the smoothie through a straw. I returned to the table with Zion and patiently waited until she finished. When she's done, I ask her to come sit at the table with us. "Zion and I have to take a little trip out of town," I say as she sits at the table. "We need you to stay here and help Stephanie and Sam." "Yes, ma'am." She says as she smiles at the mention of Sam's name. "You want to help me pack?" I ask her, and she nods excitedly. "Okay, let's go." We jump from the table and race to my closet, making Zion laugh. She becomes excited as she starts looking through my clothes. She holds up different clothing items for me to choose from, and I can't help but think of Jess. They're so much alike that it makes me lau
