the terrible week of funerals , the pack began the slow process of rebuilding. We had to fix several homes, the back of the packhouse and the bunker.
Liam refused to let me assist and he also refused to allow me at training, so instead, I started training with Sarah. Since werewolf pregnancies are much shorter than human pregnancies, five months instead of nine, I only have a couple of months before my stomach will be too big to do anything.
I went with Sarah to see Dr. Phillips. After letting Dustin mark her immediately after the war, she wanted to know if she could have his children. She had extensive testing and Dr. Phillips decided that any human would struggle with the shorter gestation of having a wolf pup. The scar tissue would cause problems. with getting pregnant, during the pregnancy and delivery, but since she would put Sarah on bedrest anyway, it should be possible.
Sarah had told Dustin that they could have pups but that she would have to be on bedrest during the gestation. He was tentative, but they started actively trying to get pregnant. Sarah had gotten over her fears of having a sexual relationship and that was a huge step for them.
I speak to Cara at least once a week. When we got the news very quickly that Donovan’s Guardian spirit was found, we were both surprised and happy. It was good to know that we had found her, not him, which was its own surprise. We haven’t met her yet, but we hope to in the near future.
I’ve settled into a routine, Sarah as my official Beta female. Liam hired a new assistant at the office with Sarah’s input so she’s officially in her capacity as the Beta female in the pack.
It’s during one of these regular days that I get a mind link from Liam. “Little Angel. I’m coming to your office. I need you to come with me to the borders.”
He’s in my office in a couple of minutes. “ Liam, what’s going on?”

“I’m not sure, but I need you to join
“We entire fleet of warriors waiting for us. “Liam?”
He picks me up, carrying me bridal style. “They claimed that they needed to see you or Cara. They have refused to tell Rik and I what this is about. They’ve been here all day, just outside our territory insisting that they speak with you, since Cara is still on bedrest.”
When we get to the border, I see that Rik and many of his pack warriors are there

as well. What I see beyond our borders has my blood running cold. I stiffen in his
arms .
“Don’t worry, I won’t let them near you.” Liam says, his arms tightening around
He sets me down, standing slightly in front of me. “I’ve brought my mate, the ” Guardian you’ve requested to speak to. Now, what do you want?” Liam says to the group of vampires.
The leader, who is obviously vampire royalty, lifts his nose in the air. “Custos. Regni.” He doesn’t say it in the disgusting way that Keenan did. It’s said with respect.
I step forward, Liam putting his arm out, holding me to the spot next to him. I’m the Guardian, my name is Angel. What do you want?” I ask him.
“I am King Urien, Guardian. I understand that you have had a bad experience. with some of my brethren.”
“Those ‘brethren‘ are dead.” Liam growls at him.
Urien nods. “I want to express my regret at my fellow vampires‘ lifestyle. Not all of us live the way that Keenan and Dimitri lived.” He spreads his arms around to include all of the vampires with him. “My coven and I are not like they are, or were. We prefer to live our lives among humans. There are plenty of humans who are agreeable to being used as feeders that there is no reason to force them.”
