Chapter Fifty–Three
Tovi’s POV
It was a fun evening with Alphas Carter and Jacoby. They had me in stitches from laughing so
hard at all the mischief they got into when all three were kids. We took over the theater room
and watched movies in between the stories they told.
“Would you like a drink, Tovi?” Carter asked me.
“I will take water please, I told him.
“No wine, no mixed drink, no beer?”
“I’m sorry but I can’t. Not for another four months,” I explained, hinting to both Carter and
Jacoby.
“Why another four months? Could it be because of your training?” Then suddenly, Jacoby’s
eyes went wide and he jumped out of his seat.
“YOU’RE PREGNANT!” he yelled. “Dude, why didn’t you tell us when we were in the meeting
that you were going to be a dad!” He was looking straight at Greg and I was laughing.
“I was going to tell you, but I wanted Tovi to get comfortable with the two of you first,” Greg
explained.
“How do you feel about becoming a father?” Carter asked, laying his hand on Greg’s shoulder.
“I am excited but also nervous. I’m afraid that I will screw up and scar the poor kid for the rest
of its life,” he explained. I took his hand and looked at him in the eyes.
“Babe, you will be fine. There is no manual for parenting and yes, we will make mistakes. But
we will do our best as parents, raising this pup.” Tovi reassured me.
He felt better with my words, I was correct, we will make mistakes and we will fail at some things, but this pup will be protected and loved not only by Greg and me but by the whole pack. We enjoyed the rest of the evening, watching movies and reminiscing about their younger days. It was great to hang out with Carter and Jacoby and get to know the mischievous side of my mate. I just hope that this pup doesn’t pick that up.
I was getting tired and Greg felt it through our mate bond. The four of us went to our floor, said
good night to Carter and Jacoby, and walked into our suite. Mother and dad were up, watching
- TV.

Chapter Fifty–Three
“Greg, Tovi, I am going to let you know that we are going back to Ocean Bay tomorrow. I have some pack business to address and make sure that my warriors are training hard for this
battle. I will send my Beta up in a couple of days, to help you with organizing the pack for the
visiting warriors that you will be getting. Mary will be staying to help Tovi get the nursery set up and make sure that she takes care of herself. I will try to make it back in a couple of
weeks. And don’t worry about attending the Luna ceremony for your mom. We understand and
you are much safer staying here,” dad told us, giving me a hug and kissing the top of my head.
“We will be back right before you have our grandpup, so we can spoil it as soon as it arrives. Just take care and Tovi, please listen to the witches and your mate. We are all worried about your safety.” Mother hugged me and kissed me on the cheek.
“I love you and take care of yourself. I will be doing some baby shopping for you and have
everything sent here. Don’t work yourself too hard between both your training and
duties,” I could hear the sadness in her voice. I nodded my head.
your Luna
“I will have Travis, Henry, and Darren following me around, making sure that I stay safe when I’m not with Greg,” assuring both my parents. I am upset that I won’t be there for mother’s Luna ceremony, but I understand. I need to be safe and protected here in the pack. I snuck into Chloe and Siobhan’s room to say goodbye to them. Siobhan was still up and Chloe was fast asleep. I sat on Siobhan’s bed, hugging her, and telling her good night. Then I kissed Chloe on her forehead and told her to be good for mom and dad. As I was walking to the door, Siobhan
stopped me.
“Tovi, please take care of yourself and my niece or nephew. We need you to be healthy and strong for the fight. When we get home, I am going to throw myself into training and train as
hard as I can to protect you from my dad. I will miss you.”
“I will miss you, too. And don’t worry about me taking care of myself. Nana is staying to help take care of me. So, you know that I will get big as a house with her cookies.” We both giggled and I walked out of the room. I then stopped at Blade and Colton’s room. Both boys were still up, playing on their tablets.
“I’m surprised that Siobhan isn’t in here trying to sleep next to you, Blade.” I was joking with her, ruffling up his hair. “Both of you be good for mom and dad. Don’t be raising any hell. I love you both and I will see you soon.” They hugged me for a while before Blade spoke up.
“We will be good for both our parents. I know that I will be traveling back and forth between the packs for dad and Damien. So, you will be seeing a lot of me in the next few months.”
“I will be busy with training, so I won’t be here as much. But I will try to come up with Blade to
see my sister and her baby bump,” Colton whispered in my ear.

Chapter Fifty–Three
I was getting teary eyes because my family is leaving tomorrow. I understand because dad is an Alpha and has a pack to run. He and mom have been here for two weeks now and they are ready to go home. I will see them here and there in the next few months and they will be here for the pup’s birth and battle with Paul and the rogues.
I finally made it to our room and Greg had already run me a bath, with the candles lit. We will have to get me some more candles for my baths. I am so grateful that he did. I am tired and having two trainings a day is going to take a toll on me already, and on top of that, being pregnant. I walked up to Greg, kissing him deeply, and thanking him for the bath. I walked into the bathroom, got undressed, and got into the tub, leaning back, and letting all the stress go away. He went into the bathroom, got my body washed out of the shower, and poured some onto the puff that I used. He scrubbed my back and my legs with some pressure on my muscles, releasing the tension. It felt so good and relaxing. He did the same for my arms and
shoulders. I moaned, enjoying the massage.
“I think I will have to make an appointment for you to have a massage therapist come up to the packhouse and give you treatment. You are so tense and stressed out, which is not good for the pup. Right now, I will just rub your body down, make you feel better, and get you to relax.” I sat in the tub, relaxing, and enjoying the massage that Greg was giving me. I must have fallen asleep because I felt him picking me up out of the tub and wrapping me in a towel. He carried me to the bed, laid me down, and finished drying me off. When he was done, he covered me up with a blanket and went back into the bathroom. I tried to stay awake, but I couldn’t. I fell asleep as soon as he turned the shower on for himself.
