“Congratulation’s beauty, we just created a miracle.” She bursts into tears and jumps into my arms, I return her embrace and hold her close, slightly panicked as to why she is crying so hard. I give her a few minutes to let it out before pushing her back and asking. “Are you crying happy tears?” She laughs a watery laugh and nods.
“A couple of months ago, I never thought I would ever get to kiss a boy, not to mention ever…ya know.” A growl slips from me and the assholes behind me snicker, she smiles up at me and winks. “So, the thought of having a baby was never on the cards for me, it hurt, but I was slowly coming to terms with it, until I met you.” I smirk smugly down at her. “You changed everything for me, I can go outside and be near people without my head feeling like it will break open. You have given me the greatest joy of my life Ro; you made the impossible,possiblefor me. I want this baby with you––.” I don’t let her finish, I’ve heard enough. I smash my lips against hers and pour all my joy and love into this kiss, so she will know that I… that I… I love her.
I pull back and search her eyes for a moment before saying the three words I thought I would never say again.
“I love you, Gabrielle.” Her eyes widen to the size of saucers, more tears streak down her face.
“I love you too.”
After apologizing to Creed and filling him, Cole, Callie and Z in on the news about Belle being pregnant, we have all gathered in the living room. Callie has been doting on Belle nonstop and making sure she is comfortable; Cole has even been less of a prick and hasn’t made any smart-ass comments. Creed had asked if he could call Jess and inform her of the news, I agreed. My sister is over the moon and so excited that she and Belle are both going to have babies around the same time, I’ll admit, I’m excited as fuck about the prospect of being a father. Creed told us that we can get Belle in with the pack doctor when we get back and have an ultrasound done to find out how far along she is and our expected due date.
I hate that the joy of our baby is clouded by this shit, with the council and the one person I wish I could share this joy with, isn’t here. I need my right-hand woman back, Sky is a badass and I don’t doubt that she would be fighting each day she is with them, but with our lack of knowledge about witches and how many there actually are, we are going in blind. I filled everyone in about my meeting with Alexander this morning, I tried to call him twice, but he isn’t picking up. Something isn’t sitting right with me; the man can’t stand the sight of me, but he has never not answered my calls and it’s making me feel uneasy.
“What do we do now?” I run a hand through my hair and meet Hunter’s gaze.
“I…I don’t know, and I hate waiting. Our options are limited though, Montana is too big of a place for us to shift and try to find her scent.”
We’ll find her.
When Bex? It’s been fucking weeks and still we are no closer to getting her back.
We have one option.I growl at him in my mind.
Not going to happen.
She is stronger than you think!
Fuck!
I scrub a hand down my face and try to shake off the thought that Bex is right. I don’t want to risk her or the baby by asking that of her though.
“What did Bex say?” I look to the side and smile at her, she is so in tuned with me already.
“It doesn’t matter.”
“It matters to me.” The innocence in her voice shatters me, I’m going to hell for doing this to her. I twist my body so I can face her head on, the relaxed easy going look on her face changes to trepidation.
“If you were to try, are you be able to find Sky’s location and––.”
“Jesus Christ!” I snap my gaze to Blake who is staring at me with hatred in his eyes. “You want mypregnantsister, who is carryingyourchild to put herself and the baby at risk to find your side piece?” Before I can even defend myself, a lamp goes flying toward Blake’s head, he dodges it just in time and it shatters on the wall behind him. I’m on my feet in a second and turn toward where it came from and find a seething Callie standing there, her eyes––They are turquoise, and fur begins to break out on her arms. Creed and Cole rush to her, but she snaps her teeth at them and growls. Everyone knows that both Reeves brothers are pussy’s when it comes to their baby sister having a meltdown and clearly right now, is one of those moments.
“Call her a side piece again…I dare you.” Blake’s eyes are wide, Cass moves to block his brother from Callie’s sight, and it earns him a growl from the she-wolf. He raises his hands as if surrendering.
“He meant no offense to your…mate.”
“You don’t get to speak to me.” A look of hurt crosses the big fuckers’ eyes before he masks it. The fuck is going on between these two. The tension between them is palpable and I have no idea why.
“Then don’t throw shit at my brother, you have a problem, you take it up with me! I agreed to help you find her, but I didn’t agree to let you take your anger out on my family.” Okay, I know I have pissed Cass off––a lot. But he has never spoken to me with so much disdain in his voice like he just did with Callie.
“Someone’s here!” I spin back toward Creed and see he has his gaze on Belle. “Go to the room and stay there, Callie, go with her and don’t come out till we say.” I can’t help the growl that slips out, Bex doesn’t like him ordering our mate around.
“Sorry.” I say with a sheepish smile, Creed shakes his head and ushers the girls to hurry up and move. I place a quick kiss to Belle’s lips and say.
“Hide, do not come out whatever you hear.” She nods, I place my fingers against my lips and then lay them on her stomach. She gasps but I don’t meet her gaze again as I hurry out the door after Creed, if he dies, my sister will fucking kill me! Z and I stand shoulder to shoulder as we scan the drive, Creed and Cole stand slightly in front of us with the three Wilder brothers blocking the entrance to the house.
“There!” Creed points toward the tree line, two figures come toward us and that’s when I notice that one of them is injured with his arm around the other. Bex pushes forward to allow me to use his sight, but it isn’t needed when I catch their scent. I rush over to them with Z at my side and the others behind me. I screech to a stop when they’re mere feet between us, I dart my gaze between them and notice the blood that coats his mid drift is still coming out and not healing.
“The fuck are you doing here Vince and who the fuck is that?” Cole asks, the unease in his tone is clear. I meet the injured man’s gaze and answer for him.
