I sighed as everyone ate dinner around me in silence, the events of the morning still haunting us.

Elise estimated that I had been about eight days along, an Alpha females pregnancy only lasted eight weeks, so the fetus had just began developing.

I watched the condensation roll off my glass in beads, wetting the coaster beneath it.

I could hear my father calling my name so I looked up slowly.

He was about to speak when a loud banging sounded from the door.

I turned, seeing Vivian slapping her hands on the glass sliding door.

I am sick and tired of having to deal with people pushing me around. She's tried to hurt me and even kill me, I'm done with her and I certainly wasn't in the mood to deal with her shit. She needed to learn her place.

I stood up, opening the sliding pushing her out to the space on the porch.

"You want Kieran right? The only way you'll have him is by killing me. Come do it." I growled out.

She stood still, watching me quietly.

"Come do it, now is your fucking chance, come and get me." I said.

I watched as a look of pure unadulterated hate etched itself onto Vivian's face as she pulled a knife out and began walking towards me, revealing her true intentions.

I shifted in the blink of an eye, knocking the blade away from her as I lunged, pinning her against the ground as I growled in her face.

She was terrified, closing her eyes as she thought I was going to kill her, but I wasn't. I was so tired of death.

I shifted human, looking down at her.

"Whether you like it or not, I am your Luna and you will respect my relationship and you will respect me. This is the only chance I will give you Vivian. I am so tired of death and fighting and all this hate. I will not stand for anything except for peace. I know we will never be friends, but you are my pack member.You will act as one because you are just as important in running the pack as Kieran or myself." I said standing up, holding my hand out to her.

She took it slowly, bowing her head in respects to me.

"Yes Luna. Please forgive me." She said nodding and silently walked away.

I sighed out, not even caring about my nakedness as I walked back up the porch slowly.

Kieran placed a towel around me.

I walked inside past everyone's stunned faces.

I felt a low burn in my abdomen bloom as I put on a long shirt.

Kieran's scent suddenly became a lot more appealing and the thought of him had me unsettled.

I knew he caught my scent change because he walked in quietly, eyes dark as he breathed in my scent.

Kieran walked up to me, his breath fanning over my neck as he grew closer, wrapping his arms around me knowingly.

I desperately wanted the feel of his lips on mine, but his lips had yet to find mine.

"She made an attempt on your life and you let her live. Why?" Kieran asked.

"There's been enough death. We need to celebrate the life around us, I'm tired of dwelling on the negative. I am your Luna Kieran, I will carry myself as one. We lost something, but we have an opportunity to try again...if you wish to." I said quietly.

"Are you asking me if I wish you to carry my pup?" He asked, eyes seeking mine.

"I think there's a time for everything Kieran and I think it's time we brought some light into this world that only knows darkness. That is if you are ready to try." I said.

He smiled widely, gripping my cheeks between his hands and kissed me softly.

"Charlotte, I would love nothing more for you to be the mother of my pup. I only pray our pup inherits your ways, for it will be the sweetest and most beautiful pup in existence." He said smiling.

"I say we just continue as we have been and if it's meant to be, it'll happen." I said smiling at him.

In response he pressed his lips to mine, showing his answer.
