Zions' P.O.V. After our announcement, people surrounded us, offering their congratulations and expressing their happiness for us. In the middle of thanking everyone, I look over, noticing Rain has become quiet and looks worried. I smile and finish thanking everyone on her behalf until everyone starts to dissipate. "Are you okay, my love?" I ask Rain. "Yes, Dosha has been asleep since the buffet, and I'm worried about her. She says she was tired." She answers, and I begin to worry. "Do we need to call the Doctor?" I ask. "I'm not in any pain, so I think it'll be okay to wait until the morning to call him," She says, and I nod in understanding. "In that case, I think it's time for bed," I say, pointing at Jessica, now holding a sleeping Odett in her arms. "I guess all the excitement has finally gotten to her." "I know how she feels." She says. I smile, lifting her in my arms, making her giggle, and carry her to our suite as she
Rains' P.O.V. After my small emotional breakdown and Stephanie's arrival to get Odett for their busy day, we discovered my new hybrid ability to hear better than others when I heard Stephanie at our door before she knocked. Orian suggests that I start writing them down, and I have to admit that it's probably a good idea because it's starting to get slightly overwhelming with all the changes that have been happening in my life in such a short time. Stephanie and Odett walk into the living room, dressed and ready for their busy day. "Hey, sweetie. Are you excited for your day with Stephanie?" Zion asks her as he picks her up. "Yes, sir. Ms.Stephanie said we're going to the park." She says, full of excitement. "Make sure you stay with her and listen to everything she tells you, okay?" I say before we give her a kiss. I then turn to Stephanie. "Evan will be waiting downstairs for y'all." "I will, Mamma." She says after Zion p
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.
