Chapter 66

Stronger

It took only an hour for her to get delirious.

“Evilllll, she’s evilll,” Jessica mumbled in a sing song voice.

“Tell us who you spoke to,” I demanded.

“Evil, evilllmmmmm,” she mumbled again. “He doesn’t love you,” she whispered.

I rolled my eyes. “Who did you speak to!”

“I don’t know,” she cried. “I don’t knowwwww,”

Lilianna walked forward from whine me and slapped her across her face. “Who did you give information

to,”

She cried out again. “I can’t tell you, he’ll kill me,” she whimpered.

“They can’t get to you,” I told her.

She let out a long whimper. “I only told them little things,” she breathed out her words like it would save

her..

“You won’t get any help until you give us what we want,” Lili growled.

She shrunk up and cried before huffing. “No!” She shouted and she laid down on the floor her eyes

heavy lidded.

“Then die,” I shrugged.

I walked out of the room and left Lili with her to torment the traitorous b*tch for information.

I went to his office and walked in on heated conversation between him and Matt.

“Not once have you ever questioned my loyalty and now you are?” The beta shouted.

“It wasn’t easy for me to do but I have more than myself to worry about now,” he nodded to me.

All we knew it was a member of the council now we know It was just a horny Leon but you have no

right to be upset when we have everyone’s lives at stake,” I reminded him.

“I am your sworn protector and your best friend I need to know if there is anything I’m missing?” He

straightened.

“As your other guard I believe I would like to know as well,” Elizabeth pursed her l*ps.

“You will know when I say you know,” Grayson stood up in frustration.

“If we don’t know the important things, bad things will happen Grayson,” Matt shot back.

“Everyone but Elizabeth and Matt out,” I called.

“Excuse me,” Aarron turned to me with harsh expression.

Grayson slowly stalked toward him. “You heard her,” he told him when he was about six inches so

Aarron had to look up to see him.

“Leave,” Amaria stood from her corner.

Leon, Amaria, and Aarron all left. They closed the doors and I heard Amaria ushering them down the

hall.

“I trust them Grayson. With my life and his,” I told him.

He dropped his head into his hand. “Netta,”

“You trust them too I know you do,” I pushed.

“Alpha I swear I would rather die than betray the people of our pack,” Elizabeth pleaded.

A twang of jealousy hit me at her emotional tone, but he was her Alpha she like everyone else craved

his respect.

“Grayson please it’ll keep me safe,” I grabbed his arm..

“I suppose you’re right,” he k*ssed my cheek.

“Alright, well….I’m,” the words caught in my throat and I realized if I told them I could never take them

back. Still I trusted them. “I’m pregnant,”

Elizabeth broke out into a bright smile. “Congratulations this child will be a strong Alpha,”

Grayson smiled softly.

“Gray that’s amazing.” Matt hugged Grayson and clapped his back.

“Thank you,” he nodded and this time he smiled fully.

“Luna I’ll get you whatever you wish,” Elizabeth promised me.

“Thank you Elizabeth,” I laughed.

I felt a great swell of happiness enter me after telling people I was pregnant. It gave me an itch to tell

everyone I saw but I stomped it out as soon as it sprouted.

“What’s been making you ill?” She asked me.

“Pork is the big one, but tomatoes and milk are iffy.” I told her.

“I’ll remove them from your house and make sure to have none of them on the menus for dinner from

now on,” She nodded to me.

“You understand that you cannot tell anyone not a soul about this. If this enemy hears they’ll stop at

nothing to kill this baby in her belly,” Grayson turned dark and came over to me. “I won’t let that

happen,”

“We cannot let anyone else know until I’m farther along for his safety,” I explained to them.

“We don’t know if it’s a boy,” he teased me.

“I’m sure it is,” I poured slightly.

“I know,” he laughed slightly,

It had been a game of ours he was certain it was girl and I felt it in my bones it was a boy. I’m more

sure he said it was a girl only to see me flustered and frustrated.

“That’s also why I’ve been so exhausted lately,” I went on.

“The more tired the mother is while pregnant the stronger the pup will be,” Elizabeth nodded to me

earnestly.

“I take it you both will see to her needs and protect her with all you have. And you won’t tell a soul,” he

glared them down.

I rolled my eyes at him.

“Not a soul,” Elizabeth nodded.

“Of course Gray, Matt shook his hand.

A knock came at the door, “Well she didn’t tell me who she spoke to but little b*tch was crafty, here,”

Liliana handed me a hard drive. “She stole some info from the informant,”

“Out,” Grayson ordered.

We went over to his computer as they all walked out. I plugged it in and downloaded only three files.

“Not enough in my opinion,” I mumbled,

“They only trade in lumber?” Grayson stumped.

“What?” I gasped.

He licked on their trade report to the province and there it was all export lumber. They cut and milled

their own trees, planted more and cut more down.

“I think I know what we can do with this,” He smirked.

Every time we played a move fear slithered through me, I thought of all that would go wrong before I

was ever able to calm down and see the bright side.

They headed out the next night all their cars filled with gas, lighter fluid, and one or two blow torches.

It was going to take them a couple of days to get to the enemy pack, they weren’t close by. I knew he

was going to

un them down. Force them into poverty, take away their jobs, their income.

“They’ll retaliate in force you know,” Lilianna told me as I sat in my living room that night.

“Do not stress her out, “Amaria shushed her. “She has a life to make, she does not need someone to

tell her her problems,” Amaria tisked.

“She’s fine mom, I am worried and I know what’s to come,” I patted Amaria’s hand.

“Exactly all you need to do is sit there and eat this,” She placed a tub of chocolate ice cream in front of

me, chocolate had been my craving of the week.

It must be thrilling having a bac inside of you,” Lilianna looked at my stomach, part wistful part envy.

“Steven and you have tried?” Amaria raised her brows at Lili.

“Goddess no,” she chuckled. “He is not even close to ready to be a father, I haven’t even thought of

trying,” she softly

smiled.

“Why are you with him?” I blurted.

Lilianna laughed joyfully. “He says stupid things that much I know, but I want for nothing, I am a Luna,

and even when he says the most ridiculously stupid things, I know he’d never purposely hurt me,”

I thought to myself of how she hadn’t said a word of love, she seemed comfortable with her life, and

she didn’t have contempt for her husband, but she didn’t love him. I looked at my stomach, this baby in

my belly was loved so greatly and he wasn’t even here yet.
