this is what you want. You do have options, but ultimately it is your choice. It’s your body.” (1
“I’m going to lose my job,” I whispered, my hand splaying over my flat belly. “What am I going to do?”
“You don’t lose your job. You might still need to be put on leave for now. You’ll still get paid. I’ll make sure of it. Let me talk to Sampson and
“I’m not ready for him to know yet,” I blurted. “Can we just keep this betweenusfor right now?”
She frowned.
“You want me to lie to my mate?” She asked, almost astonished, her eyes wide.
I flushed at her question.
“Not lie… just don’t tell him. I mean it’s not your story to tell. It’s mine. I’ll tell him I’m ready, I promise. Just don’t say anything. Please, Lucy.”
“That’s kind of a big thing though,” she said, cocking her head. “He’s the Alpha. It’s hard to hide something like that from him.”
“You hide things from him all the time,” I remind her. “Like when you leave the packhouse without guards.”
She rolled her eyes.
“But I don’t expect him nottofind out. That’s the fun of it. I loveitwhen he gets all possessive and growly. It’s hot, and the makeupsexis incredible. It’s never malicious, though. I’d never keep something from him that he wouldn’t find out immediately.”
“Lucy,I am asking you as my friend to please let me tell him when I’m ready. That’s all,”Isaid, myeyesbig with worry.

She stared at me for a long while, and then she sighed; I’ve come to know that sigh. She was relenting.
“You have to promise me you’ll tell him soon,” she said, narrowing her eyes. “I’m still Luna, and I worry about you, Judy. I don’t want you putting yourself or your baby at risk by working yourself sick.”
I nodded.
“I promise, I’ll be careful.”
She nodded in return.
After we finished at the doctor’s, we returned to the packhouse with some of the Gammas appointed to keep the Luna safe. Alpha Sampson greeted us; his brows pinched together as he studied me.
“Is everything okay? How was the doctor’s appointment?” He asked, folding hisarmsacross his chest as he stared at me.
“It was fine,” I told him a littletooquickly. “Just a stomach bug. He gavemesome medicine and sentmeon my way.”
“So, you’ll be okay to take your post?” He asked, cocking his head to the side.
I glanced at Lucy,who kept hereyesaverted, beforeIreturned my attention to Sampson’s questioning face.
‘Yes, I’m ready to take my post. I’ll head there now.”
He studied mefora moment longer before nodding,effectively dismissing me.
My post was ontheother side of the pack. There was a small wooden perch on top of one of the tallest trees,perfectlyhidden in theleaves. That was where my main post was. Before I made the climb, I made sure I had all my supplies.Before entering theforest, I stripped out of my clothes and shifted into my wolf. Her tracking senses wereonpoint,andshe could sniff out any lingering threats that may or may not be following or watching. I hadn’t caught anyoneyet,but with the threatofthe rogues and how they took out so many innocent packmates during the overnight, I wasn’t taking any chances.
Iwantedtomake sure my post was cleared before I made the climb to my perch. Iletmy wolf take on full control as we searchedtheperimeter.Oncemy wolf deemed the areasafe,she relinquished her control backtome.Ishifted back into my human form andquicklydressed,putting on my gear as I did so. I staredupattheperch; I was satisfied that I couldn’t see any signsofSpencer,whowascurrentlykeepingwatch of mypostuntil Irelievedhim. That meant theperchwas still unseen;Icouldn’tevensmellSpencer,which meant he was usingthemaskingspray.

AsIbroke through the clearing of thetreetop, the woodenperchcameintoview. Atfirstglance,it looked almost empty.But I knew better than that;Spencerwouldn’tjustleave thepost. I whistled,mimicking a bird, as I neared.Itwasa soft whistle;itwasoursecretlanguage.
The whistlereturnedtome,and I grinned whenIsaw his hand outstretchedforme. I didn’t need hishelp, but I tookitanyway. Spencer,being asstrongas he is, pulledmetherestoftheway up until I was resting on the wooden perch beside him. He was hidden in theshadows,but his blue eyes,with ahintofgoldfromhis wolfeyes,were shining through.
“Tookyoulong enough,”he teased.
I rolled my eye’s as Igotmyself settled.
“Sorry, I had an incident. Hadtogo tothepack hospital,”I told him.
His eyes grewwide,and suddenly,he was no longer in the shadow region, but rightinfront of me.
“Are you okay?”He asked. “Whathappened?”
Spencer was oneofthe first guys on theforcewho actually respected and befriended me. He was kind; he had a large build and shaggy brownhairHe had adorable dimples on his cheeks when he smiled and always had this boyish quality about film,but he was good at his job. He stoodupfor me when the others rallied around to push me out during their haze.Thehaze usually lasted a few weeks, but thanks to Spencer and becauseIprovedmyselfpretty earlyon, the haze only lasted a few days.
I was grateful to Spencer for his friendship.
“I’m fine. It was just a stomach bug,”Iassured him.“But you’re wanted at the packhouse,soyou shouldn’t keep them waiting.”
Spencer rolled his eyes.

“They can wait. Seriously, Judy. Are you sure you’re okay?”
I nodded, giving him a bright smile, though I knew it didn’t reach my eyes.
“I’m sure,” I assured him. “Let me get situated. You don’t need to stay any longer. We’ll talk more later.”
He studied me for a long while before he sighed; he draped his fingers through his hair and then gave me a short nod.
“Okay,” he said softly. “I’ll see you later.”
Not before long, I was left alone with my thoughts and a baby in my belly.
