I killed the last female that was to give birth
on the blue moon, but it was out of ignorance. I will not make the same mistake
twice,” he growled then disappeared.
    I
took a shaky breath and sat down on the bed. I rested my hand on my belly. I
felt an odd energy when he was touching me. I wasn’t sure what it was. I pushed
the thought away and walked to the bathroom. I needed a shower to clear my
head.

 
    After
my shower I felt a little better. I still had no clue what to do. I didn’t know
who to believe. Danny, one of my first friends here betrayed me. His betrayal
blindsided me and I wasn’t sure who I could trust. I sat brushing my hair when
the door burst open startling me. I jumped to my feet, but relaxed a little
when I saw it was Dominic. He didn’t speak. He just rushed over to me and
hugged me. He pressed his lips to mine taking me by surprise. “I thought you
were dead,” he whispered as he pressed his forehead to mine.
    I
scoffed. “It was your pack that tried to kill me,” I said defensively. I wasn’t
really even sure who I could trust anymore. I didn’t think Micah would let
Dominic in if he thought Dominic was a threat. The again I wasn’t sure if I could
trust Micah.
    Dominic’s
eyes widened. “I had no idea what Andrew was going to do. He acted alone. He
did not have permission from the council. I would never let anyone hurt you.”
He sounded hurt and I immediately regretted being mean to him.
    I
sighed. “I’m fine. I wouldn’t have been if it wasn’t for Micah. His connections
within the pack saved my ass.”
    Dominic’s
expression darkened. “Micah was involved in the death of the last female. You
aren’t safe here. If I had known this I would have never let you come here.”
    I
looked at him a little confused. “I am not safe in your pack either. They were
going to kill me. Did you not hear the part where Micah saved me?”
    He
scowled and crossed his arms in defiance. I knew he wasn’t going to just let this
go. “Dennis, who happens to be one of my pack members saved you. It was not
necessarily under Micah’s order.”
    “I
beg to differ,” Micah countered coming into the room. “It is obvious she is
safer here with me.”
    Dominic
scoffed. “I doubt that. She may be safe for now, but when those babies are born
what is to keep you from killing her and taking them? That was the initial plan
wasn’t it, or has that changed since your last chat with Elijah?”
    Micah
stiffened as he watched Dominic. He didn’t speak like he was trying to decide
what to say.
    “Who
is Elijah? Is he telling the truth?” I glared at Micah unable to hide my anger.
I didn’t know who to trust and it was driving me insane.
    Micah
raised his hands defensively. “I told you my initial plans have altered. You
are no longer in any danger from me. I give you my word.”
    I
watched Micah unable to speak. I didn’t know what to say to him. I didn’t
really know what to say to any of them. Dominic touched my arm and I pulled
away and glared at him as well. “Don’t touch me, both of you leave me alone. I
honestly don’t know who to trust anymore.”
    Dominic
looked at me confused. “I am the father of one of them don’t you think I want
to see them born?”
    “You
have always been about the safety of your pack. Right now I am not the safest
option so I don’t understand why you would protect me. Honestly you have more
of a chance betraying me and killing me then Micah does. At least I will
survive the birth with him,” I countered.
    No
one spoke immediately. Brayden came into the room catching everyone’s
attention. I groaned in annoyance and sat down on the bed. He was another piece
of the puzzle. I wasn’t sure what his motive was or if I could trust him
anymore than I could trust the others.
    “What
did I walk in on?” Brayden asked cautiously.
    “Kylie
is being difficult like normal,” Dominic growled as he ran his fingers through
his hair.
    Brayden
smiled. “Did Andrew put a
