Chapter 51
  TristanWatching her walk away from the car after saying everything was fine and something snapped inside me. For five days I had been living in a different kind of hell. One of my own making.I fucked up, royally.It seemed that even an Alpha had a mental breaking point and I had found mine. The battle with the northerners had been terrifying, not because I was scared of war, unfortunately it was a hazard of the job and one I had become accustomed to over the years, but because the entire ride back to Blackrock I had known that Cali was there facing them alone. The woman was stubborn and hard-headed and determined to prove something she had no need to.I knew her strength, I saw it every day that she climbed out of bed knowing that the day ahead was likely to be more difficult than the last. She was fierce and loyal, brave, and beautiful. There weren’t many women on this earth that would run towards dang

  CaliThe doctor took more samples of blood before leaving to rerun the tests. The educated part of my brain knew that it was pointless, that the tests had been right in the first place and that the results would be exactly the same this time round, but the emotional part of me just wasn’t willing to accept that.Shifter pregnancies were a little more difficult on the mums than normal human pregnancies, I mean we’re not aliens or anything, things still progress at the same rate and full term is 40 weeks, but growing a shifter is a little harder than growing human. They zap more energy. So, being pregnant would certainly explain a lot.The last couple of days had been hell, I was constantly tired, and the lack of appetite and sickness was just about killing me, although I had put it all down to the emotional upheaval of everything else that had happened, pregnancy would also be a viable cause. It would also help to explain w

  TristanWell fuck! I mean I knew I had screwed up, but I had thought giving her time and space would help, never did I imagine that she was thinking the absolute worst through the week. I also found myself a little hurt that she even considered it a possibility that I would have her killed in order to get out of our bond, but I couldn’t exactly blame her.Not when I had been so consumed with everything going on outside of the pack house that I had barely given her any attention.I backed away from the bed and dropped into the visitor’s chair as I really thought about our relationship. For the first time I looked at it from a distance and ignored anything else in my life.Maybe she was right to be feeling the way she did and thinking the worst. I had barely made time for her at all in the months we had been together, I had expected, apparently wrongly so, that she would come to me if she needed anything, but I had ne

  FreyaTristan was hovering.We had been home for less than an hour and he hadn’t left my side once. He had ignored his ringing phone, and kept asking questions that I really wasn’t used to, did I need anything, was I tired, hungry, in pain? I get that he was trying, but it was a little bit annoying, I just needed time to think, to try and wrap my head around all of this.“Tristan, honestly, I’m fine. Romans called you four times, call him back. I expect its important.”“He can wait.”“I appreciate that you are trying here, but don’t let the pack suffer at my expense, please.” I stated from my seat on the sofa in the small sitting room in the east block. “I’m just going to relax and read for a while.” I stated, indicating the book on the side table that I was halfway through.“If you’re sure?” He asked s

  CaliTristan kept his word and was back less than two hours later with bags of Chinese food that he spread out on the table in the living room and plates and cutlery that he set down beside it. His expression however was not a happy one and I twisted on the sofa, placing my book back on the end table.“What’s wrong?”“Huh, oh nothing. Nothing that can’t wait. Do you want to pick a movie while I go grab us some drinks?” He queried but still his expression betrayed his words and I stopped him with a hand on his arm.“Tristan?”“Honestly Cali, it’s nothing that can’t wait. Besides, right now you need to focus on you, the pack will look after itself, Roman and Damian can pick up some of the slack. More than anything right now I need to know that we are okay. I need us to be okay. Please. Pick a movie I’ll be right back.” He stated

  CaliI let out the breath I was holding as Tristan’s words sank in. He was right in a way, we were both to blame for the fact that our relationship hadn’t exactly gone too well. Neither one of us had come in to this open minded, not completely, we both ended up with something we didn’t want or didn’t expect. But the goddess had it right, I was sure of that. There match wasn’t the problem, we were.“Yes.” I nodded into the still room. I could just about make out Tristan’s smile in the glow from the moon through the window and felt myself relaxing for the first time in weeks. We would do better this time. I was sure of it. Besides it wasn’t just us anymore.“So a cub huh?” He asked, the smile still in place and I bit my lip.“I’m sorry, we never even talked about children.” I uttered realising the truth of that statement. I had no

  Cali“So, what’s the plan for today?” Amber asked from the other side of the table in the dinning room, her eyes flitting between Tristan, Roman and I.“I need to get Cali caught up on what’s been going on this morning. You mentioned that you had started looking at plans for Christmas?” He queried looking to me and I nodded with my mouth full of eggs.Food had never seemed to taste so good. The med the doc gave me for sickness were like a miracle cure, honestly within ten minutes of taking one the queasiness had vanished, and I felt ravenous.“It might be time we all start putting a little effort into it. It will be nice to plan something we can look forward to, besides we need to try and get a little normality back around here.” He continued before sipping from his coffee.It was nice eating breakfast together. Damian had apparently been up until the early

CaliTristan and I spent the better part of the morning going through pack business and catching up on everything that had gone on. Most of the worry in relation to the northern pack was resolved, baring the fact that not the whole pack had been in attendance. The beta, around twenty wolves, all of the she-wolves and children had stayed back with the pack.The guys couldn’t determine if they were still a threat or not, considering the whole war was based on the Alpha’s vendetta, Tristan had no idea if the Beta would continue on with the threats and attacks or if he would give it up and none of the men that were captured knew much about the beta other than that he too carried out the alphas bidding.So, for now at least the pack was treading with caution but we were optimistic that we had seen the end of the threat. Now we just had to figure out what to do with all of the captives and the leaders we had in custody.Tristan also

  CaliAs it turned out the best time to go Christmas shopping was that next Saturday, it was the only day that I had completely free in the calendar. So, with a little bit of childish excitement Amber and I arranged to go shopping with Freya and Ambers friend Cora, with two of the pack warriors in tow of course.The town was busier than I had ever seen it before, with residents all out enjoying the early winter day sopping with family, lunching with friends. Everyone seemed at ease, relaxed and happy and it was a wonderful sight to see given how life had been over the last couple of months.We visited almost every shop inn the town and by the time we sat in the dinner all three of us were feeling slightly exhausted.“Well, at least we don’t have to do this again.” Amber muttered shaking off the cramp in her hand from carrying so many bags. “Are you both sure you have everything?”

  CaliIt was strange. Almost my whole life I had wished to be able to do this, go out for lunch with friends like a normal she-wolf and one of the first times I had the chance I sat here almost the entire time wishing I could leave. I guess it really does show you to be careful of the things you wish for and that priorities really do change.I suffered through almost an hour in the dinner before the Warriors gave me the signal and I made my apologies to Cora, stating that something had come up at the pack house that required our attention.I tried not to bounce my leg for the ten minutes it took for Amber and Cora to arrange another day out and say goodbye before we all departed in different directions.“I’m sorry, I didn’t want to let on to the importance of what’s happening.” Amber stated quietly as we exited the diner and made our way to the car with eth warriors in tow. Once we
