Gigi's aghast expression was the stuff of nightmares. The sheer terror painted on her face froze me to my core.

I suggested.

I tried to console a near sobbing Gigi. I could tell it wouldn't take much for her to begin to cry, and she had every reason to do so. Anaxi had just been taken for reasons only the Goddess probably knows, and we've no clue where they've taken him or who has taken him.

Gigi took a deep breath in, and placed her hands on my shoulders.

She spoke, confidence oozing out of her words. It was these qualities of hers that really pieced her together as a Luna. She managed to pull herself together at times when it was confusing to understand what should happen next.

With that, she ran down the corridor, off to Balaj's office where he likely was. I did as told, I shut all of the doors and the windows of all of the many rooms in the first floor. After that, I started going downstairs into the living room as Gigi had instructed. On the way down, I spotted an anxious Gigi, walking down the grand staircase by herself.

Ironically, by the time we both made it down the stairs, Balaj walked out of the kitchen, munching on an apple.

He smirked and winked at Gigi.

Balaj finally caught up to the fact that something bad had happened.

Balaj pinched the bridge of his nose in anger and annoyance.

Spoke Gigi, frustrated and exasperated and I was glad she wasn't blaming me like Balaj. I had genuinely thought that those were maids.

Balaj just chuckled, causing Gigi to give me a shocked glance, I reciprocated her confused glance with one of my own. Even I couldn't understand why Balaj was acting like that.

Queried Gigi, who remembered seeing a younger sister of Balaj prance around the pack, back when Gigi hadn't been rejected. Vaguely, I can remember Gigi telling me about Balaj's younger sister, but I'm not sure. My recollection must vary.

Balaj explained.

Say what now?

I reminded him.

Balaj grit his teeth towards the end of his long explanation. At first he chuckled off the actions of his sisters and their friend but now he seemed irked at what they had done.

Gigi trailed off, sounding a bit surprised that no one had ever mentioned her mate's sisters to her.

Balaj explained.

Gigi asked.

Balaj cleared.

Balaj paused to give us time to let all that information sink in, before continuing.

That...was a huge plot twist. I was not expecting that. Don't get me wrong- I'm beyond glad that Anaxi is probably in safe hands but there's always a part of me that assumes the worst. I try and focus on the good, but a portion of me always reminds me of every worst case scenario possible. It does help in some situations. But mostly, it makes matters worse. So all in all I can tell that the three of us are really relieved.

Balaj walked us over to his hummer and as the three of us buckled in he began explaining that his parents had bought his sisters a house in their pack lands. It was a grand size, and decorated in such a cute and artsy way. It was modern yet also riddled with the history of the Nebula Pack, with photos and artifacts being displayed here and there apparently. His parents had it renovated when his sisters were born. It was refreshing to see a pack where the leaders weren't complete misogynists. Usually a first born girl isn't treated well. The Alpha heir is traditionally viewed as a boy. If you're a Luna and your first born child is a girl...good luck for you and your kid, you're going to need it.

We left the car and walked right in. All Balaj had to do was fish for a key in one of the cute, little, pastel coloured gnome flower pots and voila - we were in.

If the house was stunning on the outside, wait until you see the inside. It gave strong cottage core vibes from the outside, but from the inside it was completely modern and futuristic. From where I was standing in the hallway, to the far left of me was the kitchen. Granite stone covered the counter tops, fox grey cabinets were all lined up, there were magnolia tiles in one section and a mild grey flooring in the other. I could describe their house for days but I was stopped when Gigi ran over to the living room, where Anaxi was sat on their furry mauve rug. The four of Balaj's sisters sat around him, making silly faces and placing newly bought, chunky Lego blocks in front of him.

She scooped him up in his arms and kissed him all over. Anaxi, too, seemed overjoyed to be seeing his mother. He babbled in delight and pointed over to his aunts.

One of Balaj's sisters began introducing herself before she was interrupted by a fuming Gigi.

Gigi lashed out, although I could tell that her wolf was partially responsible for her anger. Wolves don't take it well when someone does something like this to their pup. Gigi's anger was just her and her wolf's maternal instincts being angered at what Balaj's sisters had done.

Said Dua. She was really pretty, as a matter of fact, all of Balaj's sisters were pretty. Their family had a nice gene pool. Dua had silky blonde hair and green eyes. She was wearing a tiger print silk dress and had her hair tied up in a clasp.

Another one of Balaj's sisters spoke. This one had black hair and green eyes. All of his sisters had green eyes, but their hair colours did differ. Two had blonde hair and two had black hair.

Calmly uttered Balaj, anger oozing out of his words.

Maeve and Leyla both had black hair, which meant the only other blonde was Hazel.

Balaj spoke, crossing his arms across his chest and using his Alpha voice, which didn't work on his sisters as they were all of Alpha blood.

Gigi rubbed a soothing hand over Balaj's tense biceps and it seemingly worked in calming him down.

Questioned Hazel, bouncing up and down on the spot in pure excitement and glee.

Gigi smiled which was followed up by 'awwwws' by Balaj's sisters.

Balaj looked pleased at the interaction between his mate and his sisters. He was happy at the fact that they liked his pup and his mate. It was so obvious, the guy was smiling so much I just know his cheeks feel like they're about to fall off.

Although the interaction between them was heart touching to watch, I still felt like I was intruding. This was a private moment and my presence would only make things awkward and strange. So I signalled to Balaj that I was going back to the Alpha house. Balaj responded with a point towards Gigi and an angry face, likely proving she'd be angry at me if I left. But I assured him I'd be fine, and had packing to do.

The walk back was short yet peaceful. Since high school, when I'd get late for the bus to school, is when I began speed walking. Using Lena for stuff I could easily do myself didn't sit right with me, so I only used Lena and her abilities when I really needed to get somewhere. On days I had math first, I'd work slower than Lycan-ly possible. Those days were fun. Thinking back to those days makes me tear up- they were such easy and stress free times. Well excluding the stress of exams and all, but I'd rather have to stress over an exam rather than over my unborn pup, who I'm supposed to be raising completely by myself.

I went upstairs and made sure my packing was finished. Gigi had placed many little bags of shopping for me and for the baby, and I didn't know how to thank her. Yes the sentiment was really sweet, but how was I supposed to carry all of these with me to where ever it is I'll end up going?

Too busy stressing over packing, I was almost deafened to the tumultuous growls of my famished stomach. Dinner was set exactly like it was before Balaj's sisters came and whisked Anaxi away, so all I did was warm up a plate and dive in.

After eating a great deal of food, I went back to the guest room to sleep. Tomorrow I'd leave this place. Tomorrow is when I'd start my new life with my unborn pup. Tomorrow...gave me anxiety but tomorrow...also gave me excitement. All I can do is hope that better days lie ahead of me and my pup.

Morning came by quicker than expected. My day started with me rushing to the toilet and vomiting insane amounts straight into the commode. After brushing my teeth, brushing my hair and freshening up, I made it downstairs for breakfast, where Maeve, Hazel Leyla and Dua were busy feeding Anaxi, with Balaj proudly smiling down at Gigi and rubbing her shoulder. Things were quite visibly working out between Balaj and Gigi and I couldn't be happier for them. The Moon Goddess needs to keep them together this time.

I smiled and Gigi ran over to hug me.

During breakfast, which contained all sorts of delicious foods, I explained to Balaj's curious sisters about what had happened to me, and where I was going.

Hazel admitted, causing a confused Balaj to choke on water and frantically question her how she knew anyone from the human world, despite the fact that he knew she had been to the human world in the past.

Dua had to jump in to get Balaj to quieten down and listen to what Hazel was trying to say.

Prodded Balaj.

Concluded Balaj.

Spoke Hazel, poking around at her breakfast. Out of her siblings she had the smallest appetite.

Hazel smiled up at me and I was both grateful and surprised at her help. She didn't even need to help me, yet here she was, having everything figured out for me.

It's true, both had helpful, sweet personalities and both were the youngest and no doubt spoilt.

Breakfast was over before I knew it, and it was time for the final check over of all my bags. Gigi gave me another, much bigger, brown faux leather suitcase and helped me shift all the stuff that wouldn't fit in my own, smaller suitcase, into the new and bigger one.

Each of Balaj's sisters got a goodbye hug from me, and Anaxi got several kisses on his cheek. He was such a sweet child, I'd really miss him. Maybe when my own pup is born, I could bring them around to play with Anaxi.

Gigi and Balaj came with me to the airport, straight through until the boarding gates.

Gigi handed me a phone, and a purse full of various stuff, I didn't have the time to see or go through.

Gigi and Balaj were swiped into a hug by me and I couldn't stop saying thank you to express my happiness at their gifts. The two had really gone above and beyond for me. There's no way I could ever repay them, no amount of money or gold or diamonds could ever pay off their massive debt to me.

A squeaky announcement began blaring throughout the terminal, announcing that the final call for the boarding of my flight was taking place.

Gigi hugged me, and I truly felt like she was the sister I've never had.

Even Balaj side hugged me and gave me a nod. He was more of a brotherly figure now, as opposed to him being broody and judgemental to me before.
