Daryn cringed a little when she said call the clan people for the party. "I think it is too soon. Already I know that there are resentments amongst them according to my report, so if I were you, I would wait."

Dawn cocked her head to the left and said, "Daryn, don't you think that I am aware of this situation? But somehow I feel that I need to strike their chords sooner because the more we wait, the more time we are giving them to ponder over the incident the more they will find faults with us. If I meet them now perhaps their qualms about me are going to wither away. I know it's a long road to come in their good books, but Daryn, if you want me to be a strong Luna of the Silver clan, then you have to let me take my decisions and let me fly solo. I want you to give me the confidence to fly as you become the wind beneath my wings."

​​

The way she said, Daryn could only feel pride swelling in his chest. His little neotide had come a long way. He sidled up to her and held her close in his embrace. Kissing the crown of her head he said, "I am only worried about their treatment with you."

Dawn kissed his neck in return and said, "I know hubby, but maybe they will open up to me. And if that happens, it is going to be absolutely wonderful. So this holiday let's celebrate with your clan. And I am going to personally do all the preparations."

Daryn chuckled. "Sure dear, but don't over-stretch. Plus you have your ultrasound on Friday, so you have to be prepared for that."

"Mhmm... I am going to take care of myself darling," she said and kissed his forearm. He worried a lot for her but she needed him to let her be free.

"What do you think will be the baby's sex? A girl or a boy?" asked Daryn, although he wanted at least four babies and all girls and all of them should look like Dawn and all of them would be named Dawn Junior, Dawn Junior One, Two and Three. Damn! He was so excited at the thought that he imagined them playing with him in the garden, in the mud and then he also imagined how he would protect them or perhaps gut their boyfriends.

"Whatever it is, I am going to be fine, though I would prefer a Daryn Junior."

"Hell no!" Daryn retorted. "I want baby girls."

Dawn giggled.

"Also there's one thing I would like to say now itself!" he said mulishly.

She freed herself from his embrace and leaned back. "And what is it?" What was it that her hubby was so keen about that he was almost threatening her?

"I want to have at least four babies Dawn. It is very important for me." He wouldn't let even a single child of his imagination suffer the wrath of his woman.

Raising an eyebrow, Dawn almost stopped herself from slapping his chest. "Are you insane? I am human, not a child producing machine!" Ah well, she couldn't stop herself. She slapped his upper arm. "And don't even think about having more than two babies!"

"Hell! I knew that you would murder my babies in my imagination. Woman, you have no right to decide the number of babies I want. I want four girls and that's it!" His face was almost red with anger.

"Then you have come to the wrong place my dear husband," she said. "If you like you can go to your old flames and demand babies from them. I won't be giving you more than two babies. After the first two, I am going to make sure that you wear protection for life!"

Daryn stared at her with narrowed eyes. Then the protection or the condoms are going to get punctured by him. No woman was allowed to stop his seed from hitting her. He didn't reveal his plans of puncturing the condom packets but he did give her an arrogant stare. He watched her getting up and going to the bathroom. These days she was going a lot to the bathroom and he knew that was because of pressure on her bladder. His thoughts went to Pia on how she used her scent of pregnancy for her advantage. He shook his head. How could that woman be so vile? How could she blame his wife for something she wasn't even aware of? He shuddered from the inside.

Next day Quetz communicated with her right in the morning. 'We need to continue with exploring your powers Dawn. When will you come next?' He sounded pretty frustrated.

'I will be there for the weekend, for two continuous days,' she said.

'You better keep those words.'

'I will,' she replied knowing that she had delayed it a lot. There was something about Sedora she really wanted to know and it was itching under her skin.

When she went downstairs for breakfast, she noticed how usual the household looked. All the members were at the table eating and talking loudly. Well, what would you expect with only men in the house? Gayle was talking about how Daryn had to now even look after the overseas business in Caleb's absence. Cole was busy spreading butter over jam on his bread, fully dressed to go to the school.

"I might be late today," he said. "We have the rugby sessions going on and some new kids have come. The coach has asked us to stay there after school."

Daryn munched on his fruit salad. "You know you should totally meet Ileus. He can teach you the tricks of the game. He is just too good!"

"Maybe I can go to visit him. I also need a break!" he gave a side glance to Dawn.

Dawn didn't reply to him. She still wanted to see if the threat from Lily Wyatt was off. She looked at Daryn and said, "How about we go to the Wyatt golf course? It's been a long time since I have played."

Daryn flinched. "Umm… we can go there, but I won't allow you to play. Not until the doctors give a green signal."

"Come on Daryn!" she cried.

He shook his head. There was no going back on this decision.

She mentally communicated with him. "I am going to Ensmoire forest and practicing magic with Quetz. Playing golf is nothing compared to that."

"With Quetz you are safer, okay? And I will not argue on this point, so this matter is closed. I will play golf there and you will watch me play!" he replied stubbornly like a dominant alpha he was.

Dawn sighed and gave him a puppy look, but he wouldn't listen.

Gayle looked at the three around him. The family was so composed, so normal that it felt like a dream. There was always a threat looming large on him as to when Sedora would strike with her evil schemes, but now with her gone out of the picture, things looked happy. However, on the back of his mind she still posed a danger. It was kind of a writing on the wall. He shook his head to shove those thoughts away and immersed himself in the conversation.

Sitting in her office, Lily Wyatt was looking at the company's finances.
