Chapter 99
Warren
It's been several months since we killed Brady and Dr. Stephens. It took a while, but the pack has settled into
what | guess is a more normal routine. We spar, we run patrols, Charlie and | run the pack, Yara and Noelle run
the hospital, Haynes and Laney train and manage the warriors.
Now that life has settled down, our pack is having a baby boomm pretty sure every one of my mated she-wolves
is pregnant and swho aren't mated are pregnant as well. Yara and | talked about that and we've agreed that
if both parents are fine with remaining unmated, they can. The ones who don’t agree, have to speak to both of
us so we can cto a resolution. Thankfully, now that we're having pack gatherings with Alpha Harold and his
pack, there are fewer unmated adult men and women in our pack.
Today, Yara is in the pack hospital making last minute preparations before our twins come. I'm watching Charlie
and Haynes working with Carson. It’s been a long, grueling road for him. He's struggled a lot with frustration and
anger. It made things between him and Eva strained during her pregnancy and she ended up giving birth to their
daughter a week earlier than planned. Yara said it was okay, that their baby was healthy, but that made Carson
think through his actions. He had taken a break, worked to get his and his wolf's, Dillon's, frustrations under
control. Since then, Dillon has been able to get into running patrols. He can’t run a full schedule yet, but, he’s
getting stronger and running farther every day.
“Con, Carson, you're better than this,” Laney says, coaching him through the training. He's able to hold his
own now in a one-on-one situation, so they've started pushing him in a two-on-one battle. As I've watched, I've
seen the frustration from before starting to cback. Charlie and Haynes are able to tag him one after the
other. When he spins, his prosthetic leg not moving like his leg used to, he snarls in frustration.
“Carson...” Laney begins, but | hold up my hand and step in, walking over to him. He is panting with his
frustration. | step in front of him and hold his gaze.
“Carson, first rule of battle, when your head isn’t in the fight, you lose. Your head isn’t in this battle. Your head is
thinking about what you can’t do and what you leg doesn’t do anymore. Dillon, tellI'm wrong,” | say, talking
to both Carson and his wolf.
When | don’t get a response from either of them, | nod. “Take a break, get your head in the fight. You're smarter
than this, a better fighter than this. You can do this.”
| go back to where | was standing and watch as Carson puts his hands on his hips until he catches his breath.
Then | watch as he paces, knowing that Carson and Dillon are talking, trying to get their head back where it
should be, in the battle.
When he finally stops pacing and nods that he’s ready, Laney gives the go ahead and Charlie and Haynes go at
him again. This time, he does better. He still has a long road to recovery, but Charlie and Haynes aren't able to
tag him as quickly as they had been before.
“Yes, Carson!” Laney encourages him.
| watch for a little bit longer then I get a mind link from Noelle.

‘I'm pretty sure she’s in labor, Alpha, but she’s not listening to any of us.’
‘I'm on my way,’ | say, and begin jogging quickly over to the hospital. | expected our twins to cearly. They're
large, and it’s common for twins to cbefore their due date. | know Yara is feeling the pressure of being away
from the hospital for
a couple of weeks while we adjust to our little ones, but she can’t stop our pups from coming, if that’s what's
happening.
When | walk in the door of the hospital, | can hear my mate mumbling.

“I don’t think you have a couple more days, my love. Our pups are coming and no matter how much you're in
charge of this hospital, you can’t control when your body is ready. Let's get you into a room.”
She growls at me, an uncharacteristic from my mate. Who told you?”

Rather than answer her, | scoop her into my arms and begin carrying her. Noelle points to a room.
“I think the more important question, Yara, is why didn’t | hear from you?” | ask her, unperturbed by her anger.
She huffs. “I don’t have tfor this today.”
“Then let's see if you're really in labor. I'm going to guess that if you thought there was any chance that you
weren't that you'd have checked. Since you haven't, I'm betting my twins are coming and my mate is going to
have to accept that,” | say, laying her down on the bed.
“Warren, there's still so much to do..."
| take her face in my hands as Noelle and Piper cin and begin getting things set up. “Your right Yara, there is
a lot for you to do. Delivering pups is no easy task and you have two to deliver. Stop worrying about the hospital.
If the others need anything, they can ask you. You're not going anywhere, you just won't be working for a couple
of weeks,” | tell her, keeping my voice calm even though I feel anything but.
My pups are coming. My pups are coming!!
“I'm here!” a breathless and very pregnant Savannah says, pushing through the door. From just outside the
room, | see Franklin. He must have driven her over here.
Yara growls again. “They called you, too?”
“Oh quit your snarling. I'm pregnant too and feel like | have a fucking watermelon in my stomach. | don’t need

Savannah gets around you. How every unbecoming of a Luna,” Savannah says, giving it right back.
When the monitors start beeping, Savannah looks at them and then turns to Yara, raising going to wait, Luna?

“You make a damn good, Beta, Savannah.”
“Thank you. My pack says the same,” she says with a hint of a smile.
“What
| do to help?” | ask.
“Stay out of my way and help your mate to stay calm and breathe. We're going to be here for a while.”
She wasn’t wrong. It was well into the night when Savannah told wara that she could start pushing. It was
another hour after that before my first child, my son, was born. | got to look at him moment while | was cutting

side of my mate’s head and wrapping my arms around the two of them as Arric pushes forward and we both look
over our son.
“Did you decide on a name?” | ask her. We've narrowed down our list of names for both our son and daughter,
but we hadn't actually decided. Yara said she wanted to see them first so we could decide which nfit them
