those were the exact words the witch said before she took her dying breath. Lora baywood was her name. she was one of the few sears in my coven, she was 93 and those were her dying words. they were words about my unborn child, words that made my baby out to be some sort of monster, and what for. was it because my child would be a hybrid, or did they all really think my baby would bring some sort of ruin. 

Unfortunately what Nathan said was true.except not only wolves would be after my unborn child but also witches. if I wanted to keep my baby safe I would unfortunately need Nathan. weather I liked it or not he was the father. 

"Are you crazy!" my brother said shocked looking at me. "There's no other choice Jackson" I replied crossing my arms and leaning against the wall. "We have our coven who can protect you amber!" he said pacing back and forth. "your talking about the same coven that's now split in half because of my baby right?" I asked sarcastically. I sighed. "Jackson, Nathan is the babies father, and Chris is my mate, Nathan just wants to protect the baby and Chris just wants to keep me safe, there common goals" I explained. 

"No!" he said looking at me annoyed. I smiled "they will both be here in a half hour to talk about what comes next" I said. "Amber you can't just..." "I'm a fully grown woman Jackson, I can do whatever I please" I interrupted. he was silent. "now you can stick around and help or leave that's completely up to you" I said standing up straight. "Now if you'll excuse me, I'm craving pickles for some reason" I said as I walked towards the kitchen.

"Ah I hate pickles" I cried as I began to shoving them into my mouth one at a time. 

"By the time Nathan and Chris got to the apartment I had finished eating my pickles. 

all 3 of them, my brother, Chris, and Nathan just stood there glaring at each other. "all right that's enough you three" I said crossing my arms. "you all know why you're here and it's not to fight" I continued.

they all then looked away from each other. "where's your mate Nathan?" I asked. he was silent as he avoided eye contact. "I suggest you tell her, it's not right to hide this from her" I told him and he nodded. "I want you to come back to my pack with me" Chris said looking me in the eyes. "they already know about you and about the situation at hand and they're willing to follow you as their Luna" he explained.

"Chris..." "if she's going to anywhere it's with me my child remember" Nathan interrupted. "she's not going anywhere with any of you members of our coven will be coming here to help protect her and the baby" my brother said. "enough" I snapped "like my brother said I am staying here, I don't need your packs to protect me if something happens we'll deal with it one step at a time" I told all three of them. "and Jackson I don't want anyone from our coven coming here, we don't know who to trust anymore" I continued.

that was the day I made sure everyone set aside their differences. I had a feeling from now on things would not go as planned.

and so 3 months passed and I was now 7 months pregnant.

"you know Sarah you don't have to be here" I said as she helped me sit up on the bed. "of course I do" she said. "it's kind of my way of making amends to you" she Continued as she sat on the edge of the bed. 

I was now 7 months along in my pregnancy, and as big as a house. my doctor told me I had to stay on bed rest until the baby came, and since then there was always at least 2 people with me, Sarah being one of them.

after Nathan finally told Sarah I was pregnant and that we had been sleeping together before they met, she began to understand a lot of what happened, she then apologized to me and explained why she had freaked out that day, it was mainly because of her wolf. Apparently for the first year after they find their mate there wolves are extremely possessive. 

"you don't have to make amends" I replied. "yes I do, your baby will be my stepchild and Nathans heir" she said looking down. I sighed. "Sarah I don't want it to be Nathans Heir" I said honestly. she looked up at me "What but why?" she asked. "honestly because I want that to be a discussion for the future after you and Nathan have kids" I said. "this child will have enough to deal with growing up" I continued.

"but Nathan said.." "I don't care what Nathan said" I interrupted "from before it's even born it has the world out to get it, to destroy it I don't want it to grow up thinking it has to protect a pack to" I explained. "I get it" she replied. 

"Oh Ambeeeeeeeeer" I heard a voice yell from another room "F**k" I said "Ah here you are" Martha said poking her head into my room. "Martha how great it is to see you again" I said awkwardly. "Oh I see you have a guest" Martha said looking at Sarah with annoyance. 

"Why don't you be a dear and go little wolf I can take care of our dear amber" she said snobily. Martha was an older woman in her early 50's, though you really couldn't tell by looking at her. she was also a complete and utter bitch. 

"I want her to stay Martha" I said glaring at her. "but I dont and you know how I hate wolves dear" she snapped back. "Well I suppose it's a good thing your an uninvited guest in my home isn't it" I replied. 

"How dare you speak to an elder like that you ungrateful brat" she said offended. "you know what Martha do me a favor and F**k off" I said annoyed. "somnum modicum lupus" Martha said with a light wave of her hand, and Sarah fell unconscious. 

"mittent..." "ah I wouldn't sweety you shouldn't use much magic before the birth of the child" Martha said with a sweet smile.
