Chapter 0365
Another woman comes outside. She’s pregnant as well, but not as far along as Cara and Angel and not yet showing. “Oh, Lunas, Alphas. I didn’t mean to interrupt.” She says, before turning to go.
“It’s no problem at all, Willow.” Cara tells her.
“So, you’re having twins. Is there something in the water here I should know about?” I ask jokingly.
The woman, Willow, turns to me as the other four all direct their attention to me as well. “What did you say, Luna?” Willow asks me.
“You’re having twins.” I say, but as I look around my confidence wanes. “You did know you were pregnant, right? I’m sorry if you didn’t.”
Willow looks at Rik and Cara before turning back to me. Rik eyes are laser focused on me. “I just found out that I was pregnant this morning. I haven’t told anyone. other than my mate.”
“Oh, I apologize. I didn’t realize you hadn’t told anyone. Please forgive me.”
“You said twins?” She says, her voice going up an octave.
I look back at the other four who are all watching me intently. I lift my nose in the air and sniff. Definitely twins.
“Yes, two boys.” I tell her. I watch as her eyes glisten with unshed tears and her hands go to her mouth. “I need to go tell my mate.” She says before running off.
“When is Ailduin scheduled to return?” Angel asks.
“A couple of weeks.” Cara says,
“You’ll have to come back when he’s here. He will want to chronicle this gift. I think it’s new.” Rik says. “You said you knew how many hunters there were and now this. He’ll definitely want to know about this.”
“I’ll have him bring the chronicles of Maia’s Guardian line as well. I know my father appreciated reading them.”
As soon as Cara says it, the memories flood into my head and I begin nodding. “I remember. Just now when you mentioned it, I remember the chronicles.”
At that moment, Eli comes out with another Alpha behind him. I stand to introduce myself, but before I can, Rik jumps in. “Grace, let me introduce my father, Alpha Anders. Dad this is Grace Gunnar, Eli’s mate.”
“It’s nice to meet you.” I say, before turning to sit down. Before I can, Eli has pulled me into his lap.
“Eli!” I say, embarrassed as this public display.
He just shrugs. “It’s apparently the thing to do, pulling your mate into your lap.” He says,smiling and kissing the corner of my mouth.
“If he’s anything like these two, you’ll be lucky if your butt ever touches a seat. Angel laughs.
“Before we go to dinner, I have a question for you both.” Liam says. “Since your pack will be official, have you considered joining in the Tournament of the Moon Goddess this year?”
The Tournament of the Moon Goddess. I had forgotten all about it. It is the werewolf equivalent of the human Olympics. It occurs every four years and it’s where the strength of the packs are ranked and the populations of the packs are tracked. Each continent has their own since there are so many packs worldwide Even here, there are hundreds of packs that participate. I attended the year 1 turned 10 with my father, cheering on our pack. Obviously, I didn’t attend the one that occurred when I was 14 and now here it is again.
I look at Eli to judge his desire and willingness to participate. He looks at me. “We will consider it. When will it take place?”
“It will be in three months‘ time. I can give you the information on it, but it would be beneficial to have your pack attend. It would validate your pack’s existence to the other packs.” Rik says.
“Grace and I have a lot to talk about. We’ll add that to the list.”
