    Chapter 95: Baby Shower Confrontation


    Ivy.


    Two weeks passed with peace, and during that time, I had aplished getting the nursery put together


    with the help of the guys, my mother, and Kate. My mother and Kate stayed longer to be with us, and I


    was more than happy to have them here.


    It meant I was able to spend more time with them both, and with the delivery date getting closer, I


    needed a refreshing change. Something that didn’t revolve around what was going to happen and who


    wanted me dead.


    “Hey, do you think we need to add more of the vines to that wall?” Kate asked as she stood staring at the


    wall above the dresser with her hand on her chin and confusion in her stance.


    “I mean, I wouldn’t oppose it. I think that would be cute.”


    She nced at me for a moment before nodding her head. “You’re right. It’s way too cute to pass up.”


    Shaking my head, I continued to fold the baby clothes in the white basket while she had fun. I thought T


    had bought a lot of things, but after a long shopping trip with those two, these kids had everything they


    would ever need for the entire first year of their lives.


    “Ivy!” my mother called out as she came searching through the rooms until her eyesnded on me.” Ah,


    there you are. The guests will start arriving soon.”


    Guests… I almost forgot that my mother had thrown ast-minute baby shower for me today. She had


    invited the entire pack, and made it co-ed so that the guys could be present. I wasn’t sure who was going


    toe, though.


    I wasn’t exactly liked much. “Okay, okay,” I smirked. “I’ming down now.”


    She didn’t miss a beat when she stood in front of me, staring at me with her hands on her hips. There


    was no way she was going downstairs without me, and as much as I wished she would, I knew this battle


    wasn’t one I would win.


    “Go, Ivy. I’ll finish up here and be down in a minute.”


    Knowing there was no way to avoid the inevitable, I nodded, and left with my mother to go appear before


    the non-existent masses she believed wereing. However, when I walked down the stairs, I found


    myself in shock at how many people were here.


    It almost looked like the entire pack had shown up for the celebration. It warmed my heart to be a part of


    it. To see how many people in this pack came to celebrate the future rulers that would one day inherit this


    all.


    “Congrattions,” the voices called out as I walked through the sea of people towards the back door,


    heading outside to where a grand event was being held.


    “Mom, you really outdid yourself with this. You didn’t have to go through all this trouble.”


    Gazing at my mother, though, I saw the wide smile on her face of pure joy. She was over the moon with


    the turnout, and would now talk about this day forever.


    “know that I didn’t, but you are my only child, and you deserve the best. And so the best is what I n on


    giving you.” Thement warmed my heart, making me even more thankful that she was here.


    There were still unsaid things between her and i regarding how this all came about, but I knew that


    +25 Points


    one day eventually, we would have that conversation. She was my mother, and she would let me know


    things if it were important, or when the time called upon it.


    “Congrattions Luna on the arrival of your children, a woman with dark brown hair and bright green


    eyes said as she walked up to me, handing me a bouquet of flowers.


    “Oh my goodness, these are absolutely beautiful! Thank you so much. What’s your name?” I asked, a


    little unsure of who the woman was. I had remembered seeing her around a few times, but I was still


    trying to get familiar with everybody.


    “My name is Jada. I was actually going to offer you to join the mother’s circle that we have down at the


    parkmunity center. I figured it would be a great way to get to know the otherdies of the pack and


    when the children are born, a great way for them to y with other children of the pack as well.”


    The offer was more than generous and I had waited a while to have at least somebody ept me in. So


    for her to offer such a thing, there was no way that I could refuse. “That sounds wonderful. Please follow


    up with meter and make sure I get that information because I would really love to be able to join you.”


    Jada smiled at me, before bowing her head in a show of respect as she continued to walk on to let


    anothere up and speak to me. The procession went on like this for a while until every single woman


    had said their congrattions to me and delivered whatever gifts they had brought.


    Thonestly didn’t think I needed a baby shower, considering everything was already purchased for the


    twins, but some gifts that were given were a lot more personal and I loved them.


    One gentleman crafted a hand-painted ss mobile for the twins’ room with ss wolves dancing


    around a crystal moon. It was one piece that I loved the most out of everything that I had received,


    because the crystal moon replicated the color of my eyes.N?velDrama.Org owns all ? content.


    “It looks like you’ve quite made out today,” Hale said as he and Talon came walking up next to me. They


    were right. I had made out, but seeing them here with me in a coed baby shower was a relief I didn’t


    think I would have.


    “Yeah, I sure did. I don’t think we’re going to need anything for the children for quite some time. Between


    everything that we got, what my mother and Kate got, and nowhere at the baby shower, these children


    have things tost a lifetime.”


    “Ain’t that the truth?” Talon chuckled before a loudmotion drew our attention towards the front of the


    house.


    “I want you to stay here,” Hale demanded as I pulled away from him.


    “Get out of my way….” I replied as I pushed past him on Talon. Making my way towards the front of the


    pack house to see what was going on.


    It wasn’t exactly the greatest of ideas to put myself in the middle of something in my condition because


    the babies could be here within two weeks. But if something was going on, it was my responsibility to see


    what it was.


    Coming around to the front of the House, three ck cars came into view. All of them carrying security


    guards from the council’s chambers. My heart dropped to the pit of my stomach.


    “What in the hell is going on?” I asked as my crystalline eyes showed clear and bright to anyone who


    was currently in my presence. They had grabbed Damien, who was pushing them off as James was held


    back from whatevermotion was taking ce.


    “Luna Ivy, the ancient one. It’s a pleasure to see you,” replied a dark-haired older man who stepped out


    from behind the shadows of his security guards.


    He didn’t look like the type of man that would particrly be a council member, but as he stepped closer,


    something inside of me snapped. There was something wrong with him, just as there had been once


    before with the elder Harrison, and I wasn’t sure what it was.


    +25 Points


    But it was something I would not let anywhere near my children.


    A deep growl left my throat as I bared my teeth at him. “Do not step any closer to me. I demand that you


    unhand my mates. For everyone’s safety.”


    “Are you threatening the Council, Luna?” the man asked in a very stern voice, as if he was trying to


    intimidate me.


    “There’s no need to threaten you. If I wanted you taken care of, you would have been dead the minute


    you stepped forward, however… that is not the case. I demand you unhand them and exin to me why


    you’re here ruining my baby shower.”


    He stared at me for a moment, beforeughter quickly left his lips, and he gestured with his hand for the


    men to allow Damian and James free.


    “We are here because two weeks ago, one of our council people disappeared. Later on, they were found


    completely torn apart, as well as the son of a fellow alpha. Now, the alpha’s son, we have no idea why he


    was where he was, but the elder wasst seen here…”


    “Yes, I’m aware that the elder wasst seen here,” I replied, as if it was the most obvious answer there


    ever had been. “But what do you mean that she’s dead? She was literally just here two weeks ago.


    When she left, she told me she would love to ept the invitation toe to the baby shower. If you


    check our cameras, you can see that she had taken off. We have security cameras at the guard shacks


    to monitor whoes in and out. I can assure you she left in her vehicle.”


    There was a slight pause as his gaze drifted from mine to Damien’s and then back to me. “You are a lot


    more cooperative than your mate is. He wouldn’t allow us to obtain anything, but you’re telling me you


    can show proof from footage at your guard shack that Elder Harrison did indeed leave by herself in her


    vehicle from your property?”


    “Why yes, I can. Actually, if you would like, I can have that information sent over to you this afternoon. Of


    course, I hope you would be considerate of the current events going on and allow us to continue my


    shower and then have that information sent over afterwards. There’s only about two hours left,” I replied,


    smiling sweetly at him.


    I knew the footage was there, and it was the only footage I could give him because it was the only


    footage that didn’t implicate us. However, his eyes gazed up at the camera at the corner of the roof of the


    house and swirling ideas seemed to develop in his mind.


    “I’d like the footage from that camera as well. Do you think you might manage that so it shows she got


    into the car in one piece?”


    “As much as I would love to give you that, I can’t,” I replied with a frown. “And why can’t you? Are you


    guilty?” he sneered at me as his eyes narrowed.


    “No,” Iughed. “While Elder Harrison was here, we had construction going on. We were having some


    remodeling for the new nursery, and the people who were remodeling hit an electrical line, and it fried


    some of the circuit.”


    “I see. That sounds very convenient because of the current situation,” the gentleman said. “Do you have


    proof of this?”


    “Of course I do. I can actually send you a copy of the invoice from the day that it was called. The


    situation that had happened, and when they actually came out to fix it, if you would like.”


    Taking a moment, he thought over everything I said as he ran his tongue crossed his teeth. He quickly


    nced back at another man that was with him.


    “It seems the Luna and her mates are more than willing to helping us figure out what happened to the


    elder. Isn’t that correct, Luna?” he said before turning back to me. “Just to clear things up, could you tell


    me where you were that night?”


    “Of course, I can. My mother and my best friend Kate actually came that very evening. They’ve been


    +25 Points


    ere for thest two weeks. They’re from a neighboring pack down in Georgia.”


    No matter what the elder asked, i had an answer for everything. I was surprised Damian himself Hidn’t


    speak up. Instead, he stood quietly with a stern re across his face and his lips tightly met.


    “Brilliant. I do apologize for the misunderstanding. I have no problem waiting. As soon as your shower is


    over, if you could please get that information to me, that would be much appreciated, and I hope that you


    will offer your services. Of course, in order to help us find out exactly who had done this.”


    Knowing he had nothing else to ask. He was quickly wrapped up in the rest of the conversation, standing


    unsteadily on his feet as he gestured for the men to get back into their vehicles.


    “Of course, I will make sure to get everything to you this afternoon.”


    “Very good.” Turning his attention to Damian, I watched the man re before letting a look of amusement


    pass over him. “I will see you around, Damian.”
