“Which would you prefer? A boy or a girl?” I ask and my voice breathy with my need for him.


    He’s curled up behind me and his fingers begin working their magic, strumming my body like it’s his


    guitar while he murmurs in my ear, sending shivers all over my body.

    “One of each? Maybe more than one of each. Knowing how much I want you every minute of the day,


    we could end up with an entire pack of babies if you want.”


    “Well then, Guardian mine, you’d better start practicing.” I love that my mate takes his practice very


    seriously.


    The next morning. I’m a bit tired after Clint kept me up most of the night. But my body feels amazing, if


    a little sore. We agreed that Calista and I would stay near Este when the Alphas and their packs


    arrive. As soon as he exits his car, I can see that Alpha Benjamin is still angry at not having his chance


    to take me as his mate. His barely contained snarl shes across his face when he sees Anders and


    Clint standing near Leander.


    However, when he approaches, he’s the epitome of a perfect Alpha. “Alpha Leander, Luna Este,


    what a pleasure to see you. I’m honored to have received the invitation to meet your son and heir.” He


    says. looking down at Liam. If I wasn’t watching Este so closely, I wouldn’t have noticed her body


    tense Alpha Benjamin looks at Liam and gently runs a hand over his head.

    “The pleasure is ours, Alpha Benjamin. Have you met my Beta, Daniel? He and his mate, M will


    show you and your pack members to your rooms.” Leander says, effortlessly putting himself between


    Alpha Benjamin and his mate, steering him away from his son.


    There are eight additional Alphas and pack members that arrive, including Alpha Christopher whose


    human mate, Emily, recently learned she is pregnant with their first child. Alpha Eric also arrives. He


    still has not found his mate. I can tell theck of a mate is starting to take its toll on him. Theughter


    and


    flirtatiousness I saw in him several months ago, is gone. His eyes have begun to look haunted, and


    they’ve lost the light that used to shine in them. He’s very close to going feral. He smiles and says all


    the


    right things when he approaches Leander and Este, but I can see the need in him, feel his desire to


    find


    his mate and have a child of his own. My heart breaks for him.


    At dinner that night, I watch the other Alphas. Leander was right about Alpha Benjamin. There is


    something shifty and underhanded in the way he watches Este. I can tell she feels his eyes on her,


    but she does an excellent job of hiding it. There is something to be said for women meant to be Lunas.


    I would never be able to sit quietly and maintain myposure while someone outwardly seemed to


    be plotting against me and my child. But she does, and I know if Cali was in this situation, she would be


    doing exactly the same thing. The Moon Goddess doesn’t choose her children and their mates lightly


    and she doesn’t make mistakes. It makes me wonder about Alpha Eric and why he hasn’t found his


    mate yet. It makes me wonder if she was killed or is being held against her will somewhere, keeping


    him from finding her.

    Alpha Leander put the four of us on his floor in the packhouse. Clint and I are next door to the nursery


    and Anders and Calista are across the hall. I asked Este for a spare baby monitor, just to have in our


    room so I could make sure we didn’t miss anything. Clint and I have both noticed that, since our


    marking and mating, our senses, strength and just about everything that makes us Guardians has


    be enhanced. So, while I don’t need the baby monitor, it makes me feel better knowing I have it.


    In the middle of the night. I hear a shuffling sound. Iy in bed, listening to the sound, trying to make


    sense of what I’m hearing. It isn’t until I hear the cooing of the baby that I jolt up in bed. I told Este


    that if she went into Liam’s room at night, to quietly let me know. That way, if I heard anything, I’d know


    it was her. I didn’t need to bother, the entire time she’s in with Liam, she coos and sings to him.


    However, ther is no sound other than the shifting of clothing.


    As I move to get out of bed, I feel Clint climbing out behind me. I turn and look at him, but he’s listenin


    intently as well. Someone is in Liam’s nursery and there can only be one reason. Someone is nning


    kidnap or kill him.
