DAMIEN:"What did you say you are? Pregnant?" I ask with the intent to clarify what I just heard.She nodded. "Yes, I am. We're going to have a child soon, Damien."A smile was mounted on her face and, to be honest, I wasn't entirely sure what to feel or how to react to the news of knowing that she was with child... With my child.I'm a lot skeptical right now. Maybe even more than confused. I just didn't expect to be hit with this sudden news.She notices my expression and the smile falls off her face. "You don't seem too happy about it," she points out, her voice a mixture of hurt and confusion."Sorry, Carmella, but we've been together for over four years now. In that time, we weren't able to get a child no matter how hard we tried. I'm only surprised that you're suddenly pregnant now.""Do you doubt that this isn't your child I'm carrying?""Not at all.

There was one being I know that was capable of doing such a thing as this was the first issue of a murder happening in the pack.Instantly, I connect through to my Gamma via the mind link.'Wherever you are, I n

RILEY:"Menya didn't have any enemies, did she? Or perhaps her mate did," I bring that up to Sansa as we both sit in my room with me on my bed and her on the only chair in the room. It actually took a lot to convince her to take a seat."She didn't, my lady. And neither did her mate. I've known them for sometime and I can vouch for them."The conviction from Sansa made me rule out the option of there being a chance that someone she offended only took revenge. But to the extent of killing her? That seems way too extreme."Then what could have happened? Who did that to them?" This time I was thinking out loud.
