Chapter 89
Chapter 89: Assuming Information
I hadn’t expected dinner to go the way it had. But now that it was over, I was d, considering Damien
ended up blowing up into a million different pieces when the elder had conversations in the way she did.
Talk about beingpletely awkward. I was the center of the awkwardness, and it was not a ce
wanted to go back to any time soon. If I hadn’t lost it slightly in the moment, there was no telling what
Damian would have done to her.
Laying on Talon’s bed, I got hold of myself, and it didn’t take long for Talon and Hale toe find me.
Forty minutes of deep breathing and cuddling with both men calmed the internal fire within me, and now
we were caught up in small talk and sarcasticments.
“So how pissed off do you think he’s really going to continue being?” I asked the boys, who turned to me
with nothing but amusement, dancing in their eyes.
“It depends,” Talon replied. “One time when we were kids, James stole Damien’s favorite T-shirt because
he thought it was too small for Damien andpletely stained it in one afternoon. When Damian found
out, he literally held that grudge for like five years.”
“Five years over a f*****g T-shirt. That’s a bit childish, don’t you think?”
“It may have been childish, but then again, we were children. So, to Damian, that was a very big deal,”
he replied, shrugging his shoulders.
“Talon, if you’re gonna tell it, tell the truth,” Hale sighed, pinching the bridge of his nose. “The shirt was
one that our mother had given him that was our father’s. So, in a sense, it was actually a big deal to him.”
“Dude, he had, like, fifty f*****g shirts that were our dads and poor James had got none. Solmean,
realistically… It wasn’t that big of a deal? He could have given that one shirt to James. Lord knows he
had asked for it for, like, two freaking weeks,” Talon replied in a very dramatic effect.
It made sense now why James and Damian didn’t seem as close. Not just because of that, but in
general. Damian was the oldest and thought he was entitled because he was the oldest, and James was
the youngest… the baby, and he thought he was entitled to.
“I can kind of understand why Damian would be upset, you know, considering it was something
sentimental like that. But this ispletely different. I mean, the elder was out of linepletely, and
honestly, I don’t like whatever she was getting at.”

“She literally insulted Damian as an alpha tried to insult us. Lord knows, poor James is probably
devastated over herment on his cooking, and in a way, she was trying to undermine you as a Luna,”
Hale replied.
In a way, he was right, and because he was, I couldn’t deny the need to get rid of her.
“Okay, I get it. She f****d up. But I mean, maybe that’s just her messing up as a new elder. I mean, she
hasn’t really been in the position long, has she?”
Again, they both shrugged their shoulders.
“I don’t know what you’re looking to do, Ivy. I mean, she’s here for the next couple of days, and you were
the one that told her it would be okay for her to stay,” Talon rambled on. Hisments were not the help
I was looking for, and picking up a pillow, I quickly chucked it at his head.
“Well, then, why don’t we find something else to preupy our time with?” Though Damian had tended
to me a few nights before, I was equally hungry for the two of them and

the fun we had once had in the past. However, upon those words, Hale and Talon both looked at each
other and looked at me, and shook their heads no.
“Absolutely not,” Hale replied quite quickly.
“Are you rejecting me?” I said, feigning a hurt expression across my face. I couldn’t believe they didn’t
want to be intimate with me.
“No. God, no. It’s nothing like that,” Hale quickly said, trying to redirect the conversation and fix the mess
that he had started.
“Then what are you saying?”
“He is afraid,” Talon replied with a smirk of his own. “Hale thinks he is going to hurt the baby if his Lycan
comes out during sex.”
With wide eyes, I turned my gaze back to Hale, who seemed ufortable, and quickly cleared his
throat. “I mean, it could happen. I don’t want to risk it.”
“Hale, you won’t hurt your children nor any other part of you.”
“Still, I don’t want to risk it,” he said firmly as Talon pulled me by the ankle towards him, burying his face
in my crotch.
“I want it… God, how I want it.”
His response caused me tough, but irritation flowed off of Hale from Talon’s actions. “No, Talon, this is
serious. We only have like two months, and then we can f**k her however we want.”
“Hale, I’ve literally already had s*x with Damian, James, and Talon multiple times since I’ve been
pregnant. You don’t have to worry… but,” pausing mid-conversation, something he said finally clicked in
my head. “Wait… what do you mean two months?”
“You’reing up in four months in your pregnancy. Wolves are only pregnant for six months, so it’s like
you’re entering your third trimester, and to do something like that with both of us at the same time,
probably not the safest for the babies.”
Taking a moment to let what he said soak, I made a face to show my confusion as my mouth dropped
open slightly.
“Hale, did you not listen to what you said? I’m literally only almost four months pregnant. I still have, like,
what, another five months of my pregnancy. So I’m not anywhere near the third trimester. What are you
talking about? Six months.”
They sat there in silence, staring at me before Hales’ eyes fogged over, linking someone. No words
came from them, and with the silence began the slow increase of panic within my chest.
“Um, Ivy? What have you learned about werewolf pregnancies?”
The question caught mepletely off guard, especially since Talon asked me the question. When I
thought about it, I really knew little. I knew they were rapidly growing and the pregnancies typically were,
like, super painful because, you know, the babies were typically stronger and more aggressive.
I guess in the end, I didn’t know much. Not that I thought to learn or that
“Umm, well, I’m guessing that I don’t know as much as I probably should know, considering how you two
are acting. So does one of you want to f*****g exin to me what exactly is going on? Because you
know the way you’re making it sound is that I’m about to have this baby in two months and not in five.”
The door opened rather quickly, and when it did, I saw a very concerned Damian and James standing in
the doorway.
“Ivy, I think we need to have a conversation because I believe you are slightly misinformed from what
Hale said.”
There it was. The bomb had been dropped.

Thad miscalcted how much I knew about werewolf pregnancies.f**k me.
“Yes, from the sounds of it, I don’t know as much as I thought I did, and I don’t see how I’ve literally made
it almost four months, and nobody has exined to me I’m not pregnant for nine months like normal
people,” I all but shouted at them in frustration and pure panic.
“Calm down, it’s okay. This is our fault because we didn’t really take into consideration that you are new
to our world. Werewolves are typically pregnant for about six months. However, it is also known that
alpha pregnancies can typically be about five months. It just really depends on the person,” James
replied with a smile on his face.
Oh, no, he didn’t. “Did you seriously just tell me to calm down?!”
James’ eyes went wide at my outburst. I couldn’t believe that he really told me to calm down. This wasn’t
something that was no big deal. It was an enormous deal for me.
Taking slow, deep breaths, I closed my eyes and tried to calm myself. It will be okay… everything will be
okay. “I’m not angry… I’m just a bit shocked,” I said, trying to remain as calm as possible.
“There is no reason for you to be angry,” Damian scoffed, shaking his head. “It’s not that big of a deal.
Just means you won’t be pregnant that long.”
My eyes flew open at Damian’sment. I couldn’t believe how insensitive he was at the moment. It
may not have been a big deal to him, but it was to me.
Jumping to my feet, I stormed from the room and made my way towards the private den created for me
in the right wing of the house.
It was a small little study with a single loveseat, small tv, and tons of books surrounding the area. It was
the one part of the house that was solely mine, and even though it was a ten-by-ten room, I enjoyed
every moment of it.
mming the door behind me, I sat on the sofa and thought about the situation. How could I honestly
forget to ask such questions? I feltpletely stupid for never thinking about asking how the pregnancy
worked, considering I was raised as a human.
Guess that’s what I get for assuming.
At that moment, the only thing I wanted was to speak to the one person who had alwaysforted me. I
had put off calling her for too long, and the time hade when the weight of my issues was too much
to bear. .
I wanted my mommy. Pulling my phone from my pocket, I dialed her number and waited as it rang. “It’s
so wonderful to hear from you, dear. How are you?” A sob racked my throat as I tried to speak. “Mama, I
don’t know how I’m going to do this here.” “Sweetie, what are you talking about? Did something bad
happen?” Taking a moment, I took a deep breath and tried to calm myself.
“No, not exactly, I just have no idea what I’m doing, and I was just told by the guys that I’m not even
going to be pregnant for nine months, that it’s going to be like five or six months. That’s literally like a
month or two away. How am I supposed to do this?”
“Whoa, whoa, whoa. Are you telling me that nobody informed you of how this works?” she replied in
shock.
“No, they didn’t. I assumed, and they all didn’t think to tell me because it slipped their mind that I knew
nothing of their world.”
“Oh, honey. I’ve been away too long. I need toe and visit you. Would you like me toe and

visit you?”
As much as I wanted to tell her I could be a big girl and do this on my own, I knew the truth. I couldn’t do
it on my own. I needed her here with me. I was terrified, and even though I had four strapping mates…
they were men, so they didn’t understand how I was feeling. Even if they could feel my emotions through
the link, they had no f***** g clue.
They were trying their best, and I appreciated everything they had done for me. But I needed somebody
else to have my back as well.
Someone who understood what I was going through.
“Can you? I mean, I know that you guys have a lot going on, and I would hate to take away from
anything that you’re doing.”
“Don’t be ridiculous, darling. You are my daughter, and I love you. If you need me there, I will be there.
ke willpletely understand the situation,” she replied, causing me to smile.
“Okay. When do you think you will be here?”
“Tomorrow evening. Now get some rest, and I will see you soon,” she replied, making me feel better than
I had.
Nodding my head as if she could see me. I wiped the tears from my eyes. “Okay, I’ll see you tomorrow. I
love you.”
“I love you too, sweetheart. Good night.”
Hanging up the phone, tears flowed down my face, and even though the guys did not knock on the door
to check on me, I knew they were standing outside.
They had heard the entire conversation, and I wasn’t sure how I was going to make this work because
the elder was here, and the only other ce I would put my mother would be in the guesthouse.
Which was upied by the elder herself.
I had to find a way to get her out of here. Especially after everything that had happened with Damian.
She wasn’t even here for the full-time she was supposed to be, and she had already outstayed her
wee.
Let’s just hope she wouldn’t cause issues for us when we made her go.
