Angels POV

　　As Henrik began to chant, I watched as my entire body began to fade. Closing my eyes, I pictured Jake standing there in all his glory using him to calm the ball of nerves that formed in my stomach at the thought of them dealing with the new threat without me. As I felt my feet touch the ground, I opened my eyes. I was standing in my office, Rose sitting at my desk her eye's fixed on me.

　　"Welcome back Luna" her tone one of an unimpressed mother.

　　"Rose" I nodded my head in return.

　　"Was it worth it, running off like a child throwing a temper tantrum all because you couldn't handle something"

　　"Rose, your clearly upset with how I handled the finding of my Aunt Marie. But may I remind you that I am the Luna of this pack, the mate of your son. You will talk to me with respect"

　　"Angle I have very little respect for someone that runs away from their problems, instead of facing them. You are not Luna material that much is become clearer by the second"

　　"Excuse me. I didn't run away. I headed to the Kingdom to deal with Jason myself. I would rather die trying to defeat him then my pack losing members all because of him. Do you know what, I really do not need to explain myself to you. You are no longer the Luna of The Moonlight Pack, you hold no authority over me. Do not talk to me like that again. Oh and one more thing do NOT let me catch you in my office again without my permission"

　　Turning my back on Rose I left my office slamming the door shut. As I walked down the hallway heading to the exit of the packhouse I walked past several omegas all who bowed their heads as I walked past. What was going on they never bowed their head in passing before I thought to myself.

　　"It's the power your aura is omitting" Star spoke standing proud in my mind.

　　"What do you mean" I asked her

　　"The moment our father regained control of the Kingdom; the entire wolf species felt a shift in power"

　　"But he hasn't been re-crowned yet. How is that possible?"

　　"It's our blood-line Angel. The power it holds it's like nothing else. I feel the extra strength flowing through us, don't tell me you haven't noticed it"

　　Star was right, the moment Jason's heart stopped beating I felt a surge of strength flow through me. The look on Jakes face at the time told me he had felt it too but didn't know what it was. Leaving the pack house, I headed to the community center to begin my planning for Alice's baby shower. After what happened to her when she protected me as my heat hit, this was something I not only wanted to do, but something I needed to do for her.

　　As I was now Luna, I was able to mind-link anyone within the pack whenever I liked, using that advantage I called out to Sally. Sally was one of the omegas that helped around the pack house, she had a good eye for decoration and knew all the best suppliers; we had used her contacts to decorate the pack house for Rita's anniversary celebration. Once she arrived, we got to work, Sally had contacted an interior design specialist that she swore were the only ones she would use for this kind of party. Agreeing to take her on her word I began to blow up the dozens of pink balloons that we had purchased before attaching them all to form an arch. We were placing the arch in front of the stage; it would act as a frame to which Alice would be the center piece.

　　After a few hours, the hall was ready. The interior design team worked their magic transforming the entire room into what looked like a barbie paradise. I never knew there were these many shades of pink. But hey, it looked amazing, and I was sure Alice would love it too. In the short time I had known Alice I was quick to notice that she wasn't a girlie girl, though she would have to get over the baby shower theme as her pup was going to be a girl and I was the one planning it. Leaving the hall I headed to the hospital, after texting Benson instead of mind-linking him so Alice wouldn't become suspicious he confirmed she was about to be discharged. The baby shower was due to start in an hour and I wanted to give the guests a chance at arriving secretly before we returned.

　　"Benson, I swear to the f**king goddess if that nurse smiles at you like that one more time, I'm going to claw her god damn eyes out" Alice screamed from her room, loud enough that I could hear her from the corridor.

　　"Wow calm down there, I come in peace. Put the claws away" I chuckled as I entered her room holding my hands in the air showing I meant no harm.

　　"OMG Angel your back. Does that mean its all over?" She screeched as she pulled me towards her pulling me into a hug.

　　"Not quite, a lot is going on but its something we can deal with after I promise" I assured.

　　"After?" Alice asked raising her eyebrow.

　　"You will see, just come with me and keep your hands by your sides as we walk past the nurse's station" Benson chuckled while holding Alice's arms by her side, Alice growling in response.

　　Leaving the hospital was harder than I thought it would be, Alice tried several times to attack the young nurse that she swore had been flirting with Benson. I had heard pregnancy hormones were a nightmare, but not once did I imagine them making someone go bat shit crazy. The further from the hospital we got the calmer I could feel she had become. Since Jason died, I also came into a new gift. I was able to tell what a wolf was feeling whether they were from my pack or not.

　　Alice's POV

　　The moment Angel came into my room I felt myself relax just the slightest. I hated hospitals at the best of times, and the fact that the stupid tall slim blonde tart of a nurse had the audacity to flirt with Benson, made me want to shift and tear the whole place apart. I knew Benson thought I was over exaggerating about the nurse, but I wasn't. He said it was her job to be friendly and that if she was mean she wouldn't be a very good nurse. Kind to me yes, I was the patient for crying out loud, yet was she kind to me? No, she was not. Yet she constantly asked Benson if there was anything she could do for him.

　　As we left my room all I wanted to do was show her who the f*ck she was messing with but neither Angel nor Benson would allow me. Angel had to practically command me to stop in order for us to leave that stupid place.

　　"Ok, so where are we going? My back hurts and don't even get me started on how swollen my ankles and feet are" I tell them.

　　"Aww do you have kankles?" Angel chuckled.

　　"What are kankles?" Bensons asked while giving me a look.

　　"Seriously? Ok, wow. It's when you can't tell if you have ankles or not because everything is swollen" Angel explained.

　　Before I had a chance to call her out on her piss taking, we stopped in front of the community center. Using my enhanced hearing I could hear hushed voices coming from inside and knew immediately what was going on. As we headed inside Benson pushed open a door to reveal a room that was engulfed in pure darkness. Angel switched on the light as everyone inside shouted 'congratulations' in unison. My eyes burned with tears as I took in the theme of the room. Everything was pink and each table had baby bottles on them with what looked like different kinds of drinks.

　　"Do you like it?" Angel asked as she stood behind me watching my reaction.

　　"Yes, I do. Thankyou so much Angel, this is just what I need to take my mind off things" I told her pulling her into a hug.

　　As the afternoon went on I had so much fun. We played games like guess what was in the nappy, pin the dummy on the baby and guess my drop date. It was safe to say would defiantly be sleeping well tonight. Before the shower ended, I was called on stage and asked to unwrap the gifts that the pack members had so kindly gotten me. I was so overwhelmed that I suddenly just burst into tears. I cried so hard that I literally felt myself leak all over the floor. I thought I had wet myself until I was floored by the worst pain I had ever felt.

　　"Benson, get Alice to the hospital she's gone into labor" I heard Angel shout from the other side of the room followed by gasps from the pack members present that just watched my waters break.

　　Everything became a blur after Benson carried me out of the hall. I felt myself become dizzy and lightheaded before going in and out of consciousness.

　　"Angel this isn't normal she's bleeding" Benson's voice tainted with fear as I felt him run towards the hospital me in his arms.

　　"I've got Dr. Jones on the phone; she said the blood could be a result of the placenta becoming dislodged. We need to get her there and quick" Angels voice was the last thing I heard before falling into darkness.
