Samantha's POV



The safe house had nothing to do with the palace.

It was so small, yet elegant. It had something comfy about it, it looked so much like home.

When we got in we all were surprised to learn that the Queen herself had built and decorated that home.

“It’s something like a different family home. I spent many years here” Cole admitted to me.



What I was surprised to find out later was that, even though it was kind of small, it still had many secret passages and places for guns and other weapons. Cole and the rest of his new found warriors were at his father’s safe house office where they were going to make up a plan and see if those weapons his father holds are enough.



I on the other hand, was helping the women of the house. We had to clean it up a little, make it a little less dusty. We didn’t know if we were going to stay here for long. The men had to make the plans and we were just going to follow. Well, not me. I had to know, I am the Queen after all.



We were currently finishing the food.

Apparently, the Queen had some servants bring food here once a week. “I always knew that this house was going to be useful” Elder Elizabeth said, as we were putting the dishes in order at the two tables we had placed together.

“It is marvelous” my mother commended. They started talking about the house as I was thinking about the state our kingdom was.



Our enemies had taken over the place.

Two strong arms wrapped around my waist. From the tingles I knew it was Cole, he placed a kiss on my shoulder and I leaned my head back against his firm shoulder.

“What are you thinking about?” he asked me, “The kingdom” I replied.

He sighed, “I know, baby” he whispered. “What are we going to do?” I asked him, “We are going to talk about this later” he said as he pulled a chair out for me.



We sat down and ate our dinner. Cole arm was around me constantly, his fingers usually touching my skin, like he was making sure I was actually there.

There was a weird feeling in the air, I knew what it was. Worry, we were all worried about our people.



Later, when we had done the dishes we all went to sleep. The house was not large enough and some people had to sleep on the couches though, Cole and I had our own room. The perks of being the King and Queen.

I was laying on my back, staring at the beige ceiling over me. Cole was in the bathroom taking a much needed shower. Something inside me was telling me that this was not going to end well.



This bad feeling was eating me inside and I didn’t know if I should take it by notice or if it was just me.

“Everything will be alright” Cole’s voice pulled me out of thoughts; I took a good look at him.



He had a towel wrapped around his lower half and he was bare chest. He looked like a god. The perfect kind of god for me. “Having a good time?” he asked me teasingly causing my face to turn red.



He chuckled sexily. I was so jealous of his way of feeling carefree, even with those enemies over our head.



“Don’t be so uptight. Calm down” he whispered, I shook my head showing him I couldn’t.



“Well, then I can help you” he said.

“That was-“I begun to say.



“Amazing” we both finished.



We were both breathing hard, his hand found mine and held it tight. I received it as a gesture of his saying. Everything is going to be okay!

I smiled sweetly at him and snuggled closer to him.



“Everything’s going to go back to where it was. Everything will be like before” he whispered to me. I looked up at him, he was looking at the horizon, and the determination in his eyes was crystal clear. His wolf and he wanted our peach and quiet.



I wanted to talk about it, but I decided against it.

Maybe I should leave him be for a while and discuss everything tomorrow morning.

“Let’s not talk about this right now” I told him.



“You are right, let’s get lost on each other” he said and went for round two!!!





The next morning I woke up to an empty bed.

I looked around and saw an outfit on the chair near the bed. I smiled thinking Cole probably put the clothes out. From where, though?

I took a shower and put my clothes on. I got downstairs; some people were at the living room, other at the kitchen and other were sitting on the table talking. Cole was nowhere to be found.



“Good morning” I said to the people in the kitchen, “Good morning, dear” my mother and Elder Elizabeth said while the rest of the people said “Good morning, Luna”.



I took a cup of peach tea, my favorite kind of tea.

“Where is Cole?” I asked them, “In the office down the hall” everyone replied, we all burst in laugh realizing how synchronized they sounded. I walked down the hall and knocked on the door, “Come in, baby” Cole’s voice sounded.



I got in and saw him sipping from his cup while looking at some plans in front of him. “Good morning” I told him while leaving my cup of tea on his desk and taking a seat on his lap.



He chuckled and kissed the side of my neck. “Good morning, sweetheart” he said sweetly.



“What are you doing?” I asked him.



I took a good look at what was standing in front of him. I realized it was the plans of the castle and the strategy we would follow in order to take our palace, back.



“Preparing” he answered to me,

“Those are the plans?” I asked him, “Yes” he answered.



“Do I fit into them?” I asked him hopefully, “As much as I would love to tell you no and make you stay on the safe house until everything is clear, we need you” he said kind of moody.



“Good. When are we attacking?” I asked him, “In a month” he replied.



I turned to face him. Wasn’t a month a little too much?



“Why in a month? Isn’t it a little late?” I asked him.



He shook his head and circled my waist with his arms. “No, I have to get in touch with some packs, make sure that friends are going to stick with me” he told me sincerely.



I nodded. He was, as always, right. We needed more people with us; we needed allies to help us. We couldn’t make it on our own.



“When are you going to contact them?” I asked him, “Right now. I made some phone calls; three packs are on our side. They are coming this way and are extra careful” he replied. “Do they know about the situation?”



He smiled at me, “Baby, at your coronation the word was already out that you are the new Queen. They are perfectly informed” he answered. “What about the Black Mooners?” I asked him worriedly, his eyes turned black that means his wolf was in need to get out.



“Yes, they know everything. Still, they have faith in their King and Queen” he said proudly. I kissed his cheek and rested onto his body.

After a while he started making phone calls. Pack after pack was agreeing on going into war with the Black Mooners. From what I heard, some of the packs were even aware of their existent and their purpose. Those packs were the one who said they were willing to fight until death for the royal couple. Meaning me and Cole.



After three hours of phone calls and taking the number of the fighters, Cole was satisfied enough with his doing. He had thirty-thousand fighters, without ours in. A pretty good number, if you ask me.

“I think we did well” he said proudly.



I smiled at him, but then something turned around deep inside of me, causing an un-easing feeling to run through me. I run upstairs to our personal bathroom with Cole on my tail.

I vomited and I had nothing for breakfast yet. I felt bad, I touched my forehead, but I had no fever.



“What’s wrong, are you sick?” Cole asked me touching my face.



I shook my head afraid of opening my mouth. “Lay down” he instructed me and I did as he ordered. I was in no mood to argue.



He brought me some water and I sipped a little, I was feeling slightly better. “Are alright now?” he asked me. I nodded again.

Cole being the whipped guy that he is called the older woman to check on me, since we didn’t have a doctor with us and he went call at one of the packs that were going to follow us, and request a pack doctor.



“How are you feeling, honey?” my mother asked me taking a seat beside me. “Alright” I replied, she too put a hand on my forehead, when she realized I didn’t have fever her eyes narrowed and looked at the Elder Elizabeth. She was looking at my mother with and annoying knowing look.



“What?” I asked the alarmed, I have never seen that look shared by my mother and Elder Elizabeth, though I have seen it between my mother and my father. It was the look that said I-know-something-that-you-don’t. It was a scary look, which could easily bring a criminal to his knees.

“Nothing, dear” they both said at the same time, increasing suspicion.



“I am not buying it. Tell me, now” I order them more than told them. My mother flinches, but Elder Elizabeth stayed and continue looking at me without as much blink. “Well, we think that you might be” my mother started.



“Pregnant” Elder Elizabeth, my mother and Cole said at the same time. Cole was standing at the door looking at me shocked yet with a hint of happiness. Elder Elizabeth and my mother looked at him and nodded.



“I guess you need some time” my mother said and she and Elder Elizabeth left our room. Cole continues standing there looking at my knotted hands on my belly.

“A baby” he whispers, “A pup” he whispers again. “My pup, our pup, our baby” he says louder this time at me. I look at him not saying a word; the truth is I don’t know what to say and how. I want to say something, but words fail me.



He takes a few steps closer to me, his eyes never leaving my covered belly. He sits next to me, and puts his hand on my tummy. I freeze, I don’t know why but I do. There is a moment of silence; the only thing we could hear was our hearts. “This is our baby, in there” he says again looking at me this time.



I don’t know how, but something inside me clicked. My wolf started jumping up and down full of joy, from our link I could feel Cole’s wolf full of happiness talking to Cole.

I cannot make what he is saying to him, but I can make out a few words.



Our mate… pregnant…our pup…dad…responsible…joy… hug her.!



What are you waiting for? My wolf tells me.

I-I don’t know. Now? The baby came now? I asked her alarmed and worried.

It was bound to come one day. It just came sooner, hug your mate, be happy with him.



I thought about it and she was right.

This baby will bring us joy in these hard times, but will it be safe? Will it be okay through everything?

I asked myself.



“Samantha?” Cole summoned me, “We are going to have a family” he said with a huge grin on his handsome face.

I smiled at him and threw myself in his arms.



I was determined. Whatever was bound to happen, it would happen. I will just be strong enough for all of us. I was going to be a mother after all.



That is what a mother does.





She is strong for her family!!
