| decide very quickly that, not only are we sisters through our Guardian bond, but Cara, Angel and | would have been friends
regardless of the bond. We are all very different, but very much alike in the ways that matter.Original content from N?velDrama.Org.
| tell them about our pack and how all of the pack members havee from packs where they were mistreated. They are
shocked at our numbers and the separate number of packs where our memberse from.
“How can an Alpha and Luna allow their pack members to be treated so poorly? It’s their job to care for their pack.” Cara says.
Angel is nodding. “I agree. | almost lost it when | thought Liam was allowing our omegas to be abused. He had to rein me in
because my aura had pushed the pack to their knees and was causing them pain. It’s a partnership. As Alpha and Luna, we
have to work together. There will be times when we lose our temper or be frustrated. That’s when the mate bond is so
important, not just for each other, but for the health and safety of the pack. I’ll never understand those that don’t value the mate
bond.”
“Honestly, | never understood it. Watching my mother suffer for so long, | hated the idea of the mate bond. It felt like chains
forcing my mother to feel things that she no longer wanted to feel for a man that didn’t love her and willingly mistreated her. |
never wanted it. But then | met Eli and | realized it’s not the bond that is the problem, it’s the person. If you both ept the bond
and treat each other with love and respect, then it grows
and develops into som beautiful.” | say, thinking about how much my belief in the mate bond has changed since meeting Eli.
Cara leans her head back, rubbing her hand over her baby bump in gentle circles. “I can’t imagine anything more wonderful than
the mate bond. My father told me about it all my life.” She lifts her head up and looks at me. “Do you know, he never took another
mate. Never even considered it.” She looks thoughtful. “Now, knowing what | have with Rik, | understand. You could never have
this feeling with anyone else. There could never be anyone for me, but him.”
“I''m really d to hear you say that, love.” Rik says, walking out and chuckling at his mate before picking her up and putting her
in hisp. “How are my mate and my little Peanut doing?” He asks, kissing her nose..
“We''re just fine, daddy.” She says as Rik rubs his hand over her protruding stomach.

“When are you due?” | ask as Liames out and also picks Angel up, sitting her in hisp. | watch as she gives him an
exasperated look but doesn’tin. He just smirks at her before burying his nose in her hair. She has a lot of hair.
“I''m due in about 6 weeks.” She tells me and | turn to Angel. “I’m due about a monthter, so I’m about halfway through my
pregnancy.” Angel says,
answering my unspoken question.
“And do you both know what you’re having?” | ask, already knowing the answer. Maia can smell the babies.
Cara rolls her eyes at Rik before answering. “We''re having a girl. Rik is so proud of himself for realizing it first. He could smell
her, or so he says.” She swats his arm, yfully.
“We''re having a boy.” Liam says. “And Rik is right, | could smell him before the doctor confirmed it.”
I''m wondering where Eli is and why he didn’t follow Rik and Liam outside. “He’s putting in an application to make your pack
official. My father is helping him. He''ll fill everything out except the name. He wants your input on that.” Rik tells
