“Pregnancy cravings.” I said, growling a little as I did so.
My mate seemed to freeze up at my growl, I felt his nervousness. I gave him a questioning look with a raised eyebrow, he let out a nervous sounding chuckle “Sorry my sweet Starlight, I think it’s just instinctual for a male to be wary of a pregnant female’s growl. He says, giving me a cautious smile. 2
I laughed, it was so adorable. How was it possible, for him to look so adorable? He was such a sexy hunky Werewolf, he shouldn’t look adorable, but he managed, and I laughed. His mood relaxed, and a loving smile replaced the nervous one that had made me laugh.
He leans over the consul and kisses my cheek. “I love you my beautiful Starlight.” He says to me. His tone and emotions through our bond telling me just how much he was in love with me.
I stopped laughing and gave him a sappy in love smile, it has become my most common expression now days. Sunny opens the door to the Jeep and hops out, bringing mine and Damien’s attention back to what it was we were here for. I hopped out of the jeep just as Beatrice and Serenity joined me. We walked into the store, and head to the bathrooms in back. First to relieve my bladder, then to get food and more drink.
I hadn’t realized how badly I needed to go until I was practically sighing in relief, Sunny actually did sigh in relief. After we got through and washed our hands we started to get food. I wasn’t the only pregnant female, and poor Serenity was right there with me when it came to cravings. She actually got stumped at the pickles, there were the traditional dills, and then there was the spicy dill.
Finally I said. “Grab both, Darien can eat whatever you don’t.”
She smiled brightly. “Thank you.” she says and grabs both.
I grab two of the traditional, then I grabbed two hot dogs with spicy mustard, onion, dill slice, sour croute, and celery salt. I also grabbed a large order of chilly cheese tots. A one liter of Pepsi to go with my food, and a bag of vinegar and salt chips and I was
happy. Although Sunny looked at thy choices in horror when I got to the check out counter. I took it that she was not a fan of my food choice combanation right now, she actually looked slightly green at it. Until she got a look
4/3
Spicy and traditional pickles, flaming hot Cheetos, a big mountain dew code red. A big thing of nachos with jalapenos, onions and cayenne pepper on top. I looked at Sunny’s haul, she grabbed a big bottled water, a plain mustered and ketchup hot dog and a bag of plain potato chips. Beatrice chose basically the same thing, only she had three hot dogs instead of just the one. The difference between the pregnancy fed choice in food, and the everyday choice was glaringly obvious right now.
The cashier, a Heartsong Clan member, looked at me and smiled. He was young, sixteen, and he had short, but a little shaggy, curly strawberry blond hair, with amber colored eyes surrounded by a cinnamon colored rim. He had dark golden skin with freckles all across his nose and cheeks. I couldn’t help but think he must have looked adorable as a pup. It most likely got him into trouble at school with both females and males. Judging by the muscle I could already see developing, he wouldn’t be a skinny teen wolf for much longer.
“Welcome back Clan Alpha!” he says genuinely happy to see me.
I chuckled, it was good to be welcomed. “Thank you…” I looked at his name badge. “Donnie, it’s good to be back, I’ve missed home.”
He looked so happy to get attention from his Clan Alpha. “Your most welcome.”
He started ringing up our purchases, gave them a curious look, then he lifted his nose and sniffed, with wide eyes and a broad smile he says. “Congratulations on your pregnancy Alpha.” he says. Then continues to check us out, I pay with my phone. With a wave at Donnie we left the store.
Walking back towards the Jeeps parked at the pumps, Sunny asks. “How did he know you were pregnant?”
“Because he could smell it. Beatrice answered. “Werewolves are able to tell if a female is pregnant by the scent.”
“Wow, that’s so cool!” she said.
My mate and the other males had finished putting the gas in the tanks, and were gathered in front talking, laughing and rough housing a little. I stopped where I was, just looking at my mate. He was so handsome when he was smiling and laughing, his eyes sparkling with joy, feeling it through our bond. It was such a wonderful feeling.
“I love watching him laugh, and smile, especially with knowing how much pain I caused him with my rejection.” Beatrice says beside me, her gaze on Xander.
“None of it was your fault, place the blame where it truly belongs, at Sarah’s clawed hooves. Serenity says, her tone firm. There was a bite of anger, but then everyone seemed unable to think of Sarah without being angry. My fury at her however had become a cold flame, I was able to remain calm when I thought of her. However, should she and I come into contact again…I won’t hesitate to do what was necessary…what the Goddess had given me a vision of.”Listen to her.” I tell Beatrice. “Sarah is to blame for the pain you have both been through.”
They came out of nowhere suddenly, bombs of black smoke, shaking the ground and hitting all around us, followed by bright flashes. The smoke made my eyes burn and my nose run, the sound made my ears ring, the bright flashes causing spots in my vision. I was completely disoriented, I dropped everything and grabbed Sunny, wrapping her in my arms, hoping my body could protect her from what was happeningThrough the ringing I could here muffled screams and shouts, but I couldn’t understand what was being said. I felt two deep pricks against my back, at first I thought it was shrapnel when they stayed in my back, but I suddenly went weak and fell to the ground, no longer able to hold onto Sunny. I felt paralyzed, and my head hurt where it cracked against the asphalt of the parking lot when I fell.Sunny is knelling on the ground next to me, her hands gripping my shoulders and shaking me, she was crying and screaming.
She looked so scared, wanted to lift my hand and cup her cheek, tell her everything was going to be okay, but I couldn’t even move. My vision was starting to go black around the edges, something was seriously wrong, but my mind was becoming so hazy I couldn’t figure it out.
Sunny looks up suddenly, and her eyes start to blaze gold, the green gone, out the back of her halter top her wings appeared, she raises her hands and they start glowing, she’s screaming something and a ball that looked like molten gold colored light shot out of her hands and at something. Then there was someone screaming in agonized pain.
Suddenly Sunny had two darts coming out of her upper left chest, and she fell to the ground like I had, her body limp, her eyes full of tears, frustration and fear. Then everything went dark, and the last thing I heard was a pain filed roar of “ALORA!!!!!”/////Authors Note: Sorry everyone, it was confirmed I have been sick with COVID, it has kicked my ass, I’m slowly getting better,
I’ll have moments when I’m fine and I can write, then there more frequent moments of not being able to stay awake or focus on a screen to long because my eyes are really sensitive to any light right now. Luckily, it’s only affected the adults in the house, the kids fortunately have escaped all of it.///// (17)
Damien’s POV
One moment the other males and I were laughing and joking around, in the next while our females were walking back with food and drink, there were earth shaking explosions. Black smoke filled the air, it burned the eyes and nose, making it hard to see and impossible to smell anything. I could barely hear anything through the ringing in my ears.
All I could think about was Alora and our pups growing inside her. I had to get to her. Every time I tried to step forward another bomb would land shaking the ground, and black smoke would plum out in a toxic cloud. I was able to get a glimpse across the parking lot, in the direction I last saw Alora. She was on the ground, blood pooling around her head, Sunny was on the ground next to her, and the other females.
When I tried to feel her through our bond, to make sue she was still alive, I came up against blank space. Another bomb dropped as I was paralyzed for a moment with my anguish at our bond being blank. The bomb’s plum of smoke blocked the sight of my mate, I let our a roar, calling her name. I went to move around this new bomb, only to have more start dropping.Zane like me, was desperate to get to our mate. “Let me out, let me out.” he growls, his desperation in his voice.
We transform, I let Zane out, now that we are on four large paws instead of two feet, we were more stable. We were crawling forward, Xander and Darien, Jaxon and Victor, all in there wolf forms like me, following behind. The bombs finally stop falling and we were able to work our way through the smoke to where our females had been.
“Sunny!” Asher screamed, he’d been following behind us.
