Chapter 0442
As the days progress, the hunters begin to make their move. Eli has told me that Liam is terrified that they will come while Angel is pregnant. She was pregnant during the vampire war and he had to go days not knowing if she’d survive. Now that she’s nearly ready to give birth, he’s worried for both her and his little girl.
Thankfully, her delivery day arrives, and I get a mind link from Liam that momma and baby Leana Estella are happy and healthy. I announce the birth of their baby girl to the pack and later that night, our own Amber goes into labor and the next day, I’m announcing the birth of our Beta couple’s baby boy, Dillon Ricardo. They decided on Dillon because it also means hope.
Interestingly, the sprites don’t seem to have a problem carrying wolf babies. Although, they will be sprite/wolf hybrids, none of them seem to struggle with the shorter gestation period of the wolves, like humans do. I guess Ailduin was right, sprites and wolves make good mates.
Later that week, I’m heading back to my room after learning that now Fanella and Christopher are expecting a child, when a sudden wave of nausea hits me and I race to the bathroom. I barely make it before everything I ate for lunch comes up. I sit back after I’m done, breathing heavily.
Where did that come from?
“Baby, are you okay?” Eli mind links me.

“Yeah, I think I ate something bad. Are you feeling okay after lunch?”
“Yes, do you need me? I can stop work and come take care of you.”
“No, I feel better.” Sort of.
“Why don’t you take the rest of the day and rest, love. You’ve been driving yourself so hard lately and I know all the baby stuff has been affecting you.”
“Did you hear about Fanella and Christopher?”
“Geez, those two as well?”
“We have baby fever here in Safe Haven.” I try to hide my sorrow, but he feels it.
“Baby. It will happen.” He says gently. “We can try every day, as many times a day as you want.” He says, making me smile, which I know was his plan.
“I love you, Eli.”
“I love you more than anything in the world, Grace. Never doubt that.”

The next couple of days, I continue to feel ill. I cover it as best I can as we’ve heard the hunters
are on the move. We’re reinforcing the pack bunkers and safe rooms, doing drills to make sure
everyone knows where to go and that all of our pregnant mothers, young mothers, elderly and
pups know where to go and we can make sure that as new pups are born, the safe rooms have
the supplies needed if they have to stay in lock down for several days.
Since Amber and Sirona will be in the safe rooms, they are leads of their rooms, checking to make sure everyone arrives and letting me know if there are any additional supplies needed. We’re putting all the pregnant moms that are close to delivery in the room with Sirona, in case they go into labor while we are fighting. Lelani, Lolana and Tula also agreed to be leads in their rooms and in true sprite fashion, their rooms miraculously have beautiful flowers growing in them.
It’s after one of these drills that I have torunto the community bathroom on the first floor of the
packhouse to vomit. I’m just finishing up when Sirona walks in.
“We’re going to the hospital and I’m checking you out, Luna.”
“It’s nothing Sirona, just stress.”
“Don’t lie to your doctor, Grace. I’ve been watching you for the last couple of days. You’ve been
vomiting at all hours of the day. Either come willingly with me now, or I’m going to Eli.”
I glare at her. “He has enough on his plate.”
“Exactly. So, let’s do this my way.”
I reluctantly follow her to the pack hospital. She sets me up inaroom and takes blood, has me pee in a cup and hooks me up to some devices that monitor my heart rate and blood pressure.
It doesn’t take long before she comes back into the room, smiling from ear to ear. “Well, Luna.
you’re exceptionally healthy.”
“So, it’s just stress, like I thought?” I ask.
She looks me in the eye. “You’re pregnant, Luna. Congratulations!”
I’m pregnant. It finally happened. My hands go to my stomach, a huge smile stretching across my face. I can’t believe it. I’m ecstatic for two seconds before reality comes crashing down on me. The hunters are coming, anyday.
I look at Sirona. “Don’t say anything to Eli. I want to make it special.” I tell her. But I also know that if Eli finds out I’m pregnant, he won’t let me fight, and they need me.
I won’t risk losing my mate. I won’t let my pack fall because I’m pregnant. I can’t fail them.
Three days later, the hunters arrive.
