I look at Lewis and his mate, walking into the living room, hand in hand. We explained to Tyler briefly what happened with them and the Bethany thing. Tyler was in shock about both.
I give Lewis a grin as he makes eye contact with me.
Don't you think you can hide what you've been up to. The smell and sound says it all.
He looks at me, smirking at my mind linked message to him and replies.
Likewise.
I bite my bottom lip, at his answer. Me and Josh didn't get to business but I guess his smell would be all over me anyway from what did happen. I turn my attention to my brother who is now also smiling at them.
I decide to stand up and apologise to my best friend's mate. I hold my hand out to shake.
"You don't realise how sorry I am about earlier... I'm pretty emotional today but I promise I'm not usually like this." I say.
Lewis rolls his eyes. "I can confirm. You don't wanna be around her today."
She let's out a small giggle and I join her. "Lexie." I say.
She shakes my hand, bowing her head slightly in respect. "Terry." She answers.
Once again, I smile at her and then sit back down with them.
"This is Tyler, my brother and Josh is my mate." I introduce. She smiles at both of them, even though she obviouslt knows Josh already.
I take that time to figure out whether I can ever trust this girl. She seems young and friendly but she's a witch and the one that made Josh have a somewhat bond to make it look like Bethany was his mate. I try not to jump to conclusions though because I don't know what Bethany did to convince her to do it.
Why are you emotional today? Asks Josh through the mind link. I look at him as he holds onto my hand. I'm so glad to know I can finally have him back. I think I learned I really can't live without him, no matter how hard I try.
You don't have to know just yet, I answer. It looks like curiosity is eating him from the inside but he doesn't mention it after.
Darcy comes in after, hungry which reminds me of the food that was left in the oven that is now burned. Tyler saves the day by his bag of McDonald's that had just enough food so that people wern't hungry.
I introduce Darcy to everyone, or shall I say Josh does. He looks really proud when he's about to call her his daughter, but I stop him remembering we haven't actually told Darcy, instead I told her the opposite.
We pack up our things and I call the land lord saying the deal is off. We all come back to Josh's pack, including Terry. Josh wasn't sure about letting her into the pack but I insisted. This would be the only way Lewis would come and I needed him.
The whole journey consisted of trying to ignore the kissing noises coming from the new pair. Tyler took Darcy in his car under the argument of 'niece bonding'.
I was happy for Lewis. He deserved to finally find his mate and be happy. I can't help the fact there was a part of me that knew I wouldn't have Lewis as a best friend anymore and I missed that already. Terry would get jealous and also Lewis just naturally won't give me any attention anymore since all of it is now focused on his mate.
I place my hand on top of Josh's which is currently resting on his lap as he steers with his other. It's something he did when he was driving on a straight road. He looks at me as I do that and stares into my eyes for a few seconds before looking back at the road. He does wrap his fingers with mine though which relaxes me a lot.
We get there around 5 minutes after, just before Tyler. A few pack members have already gathered, sensing me. I get out the car, smiling at all of them as I walked past and into the pack house. They all seemed different though. Something in them didn't seem right.
"What's happened to them?" I ask Josh, after walking into the house.
"They need you." He says, choosing his words carefully and instantly I feel guilty and like I failed them all. A pack needs supportive and strong leaders to stand and that wasn't the case from my side. It was my fault that Josh wasn't at his best either.
I walk around the pack house for around a minute, greeting anybody that's around. I turn around and pay close attention to Darcy when I realise what she's doing, walking through the door.
"Hi! Hello! Hey!" She says in her adorable 5 year old voice to everyone, looking like a diva. I watch with amusement and realise that Josh is as well as he wraps his arms from behind me around my waist.
"Well she did inherit the sass from one of us." Josh speaks up, with a joking tone. He kisses my mark after leaning in to my ear which makes my legs go jelly, as always. He gives me a playfull grin so I turn myself around and give him a very short but tempting kiss by breaking it at an unexpected moment.
Josh looks at me, defeated look on his face after what I did. He gives me a peck on the cheek and lets go of me, instantly making me miss the warmth. I decide on telling Josh about the pregnancy today, since the sooner the better.
"I'm going to go to the bathroom quickly. Wait for me in the bedroom." He tells me, a smirk playing on his lips. Then he walks the other direction. I decide to go to the kitchen to pour myself a glass of Evian when I notice a familiar girl, bowing to me.
"Luna. For you." She says, handing me a small envelope with a print that spelled my full name.
"Thank you." I reply, giving her an exaggerated smile. I want to start being a good Alpha now, like the pack deserves. She returns my smile and walks away.
I listen using my wolf hearing to find out where Darcy is. She's still with Tyler and it sounds like they're in the game room, playing bowling on the Wii. I smile to myself at how good Ty is becoming with Darcy.
After knowing that my daughter is okay, I start going up the stairs with a glass of water in one hand and the envelope in the other. When I get to the room, I place the glass down on a desk and start opening the letter. My eyes scan the small print on a long piece of paper.
To our dear Lexie L Spencer,
Luna duties before daughter and little son?
Think about this before it's too late.
Best wishes and regards,

My palms get sweaty as a million thoughts are running through my head. Who could have wrote this? A pack member? Bethany? No... Not Bethany. She doesn't know about my pregnancy, nobody does but Lewis! And son? I'm having a boy? How could anybody possibly know before me?! And it's only less than two weeks pregnancy. I can't find out the gender yet.
It wouldn't be possible for anybody to know this. And what would it mean?
I jump a little when I realise Josh has walked in. His grin turns into a frown. I casually slip the note into my back pocket so he doesn't notice it.
"Are you okay?" He asks, placing his hands on my shoulders. I block out our mind link so he can't know what's running through my mind.
"Of course." I reply, smiling at him and resting my hands on his chest.
He looks half convinced but doesn't question it because I lean in to kiss him on the lips. I bite his lower lip, teasing him and he growls, deeply. I smile at his reaction and let him take control of the kiss from that point onwards.
I try hard not to concentrate on the letter. It's definitely nothing, just an attempt to scare me. For now, I just enjoy the time I'm spending with my mate. Everything will be okay as long as I'm with him. He's all me and our children need.
For some particular reason I like this chapter, nothing major happens in it so I don't have a clue why, lol. Anyway, one problem is solved, now new ones are coming up.
Important message: Updates will now be once a week (hopefully no later) on Sundays. This is because I'm having a bit of a writers block (lets face it, we all get them) and it's really hard for me to update twice a week.
Also I've got an A Level exam in one week from a language even though I'm a GCSE student still so that's kind of stressful. Then I have the next part the week after so wish me luck on those!
Anyway, thank you for sooooo many reads and sooo many readers! And also you guys don't realise how happy comments make me! 😘 I may not respond to a lot but I do read every single one so thank you for that!
So anyway, update will be next Sunday! Have a great week, beautiful!
