cracked several eggs in a glass bowl and proceeded to beat them so hard, the
whisk made a squealing sound against the sides.
I watched him add the other ingredients for pancakes, as he prepared

I looked on closely.
“We
could have done this ages ago!” He
sounded annoyed with himself. “Just imagine
what it could have been like, if this happened 273 years before. We could have started a family then, if I let

“Our baby will be the world’s first half Lokoti and half European Werewolf.”

We
exchanged surprised glances before we departed the room to find our medical
practitioner, his scanner and his ‘medicine bundle,’ were gone.
“Oh.”
I said taken aback. “I guess he thought the emergency was over.”
“That

Declan
grinned like an idiot – a tearful idiot – but an idiot nonetheless.
“Since
you said ‘daughters’ and not ‘daughter’, it means I’m let out of the doghouse
sometime.” He tried to joke.
“Lucky
me.” I said flatly, as I turned back

“This child will be part Lokoti Werewolf too.”

“Tell
me again you don’t have a bad feeling about this?” He rasped out, as if he were
having difficulty breathing. “Tell me
how you’re gonna live through this?”
“As
Aunt B said, this child will be part Lokoti Werewolf too.” Ki reminded.

has finally achieved her hearts desire in the form of her pregnancy. Since Declan swore he wouldn’t create any
