Have you ever wondered what happens to a shifter when they are pregnant?

In the Werewolf Wars Series, a pregnant female cannot shift. The transformation would be harmful to the child. However, the entire pack provides protection for the mother and her unborn child.

Here is an excerpt from Out of the Shadows, Werewolf Wars #1
 

Ducking under the mat, Lark slammed her fist into the red pad in Devon’s hand. Her knuckles ached and were raw from the force she was using, but she continued the brutal assault on the red hand held punching mats. 

    The past two-and-a-half weeks had only fueled her frustration towards him. They had a hot and cold relationship. One minute they were friendly, the next they were shooting snide comments at each other. The pent up tension between them was reaching a boiling point. It seemed she was constantly fighting the urge to pummel or straddle him. The way he made her feel was infuriating.

    These training sessions were a great way to unload her irritation. She grabbed the back of Devon’s hand and drove her knee up into the pad. His other hand lifted and she swung a right hook connecting with it. It was a grueling pattern of punches, kicks, followed by bobbing and weaving. It was also a great workout. Her breathing was erratic. Lark’s pulse spiked and her muscles burned. Surprisingly, she felt good.

    “Harder,” Devon said, clapping the two pads together.

    Lark lunged, thrusting her fist harder into the cushioned material. After establishing she used proper technique, they now were working on speed and impact. 

    “One more time,” Devon pushed her on.

    Crouching down under his swinging arm, she jumped up into an uppercut. Her fist connected with the tip of the pad and the corner of his jaw. Pain exploded in her hand and ricocheted up her arm, she cried out in surprise. 

    “Oh my god, I’m sorry,” Lark exhaled, flexing her hand. She hadn’t meant to actually hit him. She reached out to touch him, but he stepped away.

    Devon gave her a perturbed glare. His hand jutted out, grabbing her around the waist. He spun her around, pushing her into the wood wall of the barn. Her back thudded against the wood planks as she gasped for breath.

    “Don’t apologize and never let your guard down,” he scolded, leaning into her. “You want to catch them by surprise, not the other way around.”

    Lark shivered, as tingles shot through her from his close proximity. Her body overheated, warmth crept across her skin. His arm slick against hers, chests pressed firmly together. Arousal rolled through her at his scorching touch. 

    “I think we’re done here for tonight,” Devon stated his hazel eyes churned as their gazes locked.

    “Okay,” Lark whispered. She gulped unable to tear away from his piercing glare.

    Devon pulled back after another long moment, letting out a long puff of air.

“You did well tonight. You’re getting faster.”

    Lark chewed on her lower lip and leaned her head back on the wall. “Thanks.”
