Chapter 115-2
“It’s nice to meet you as well, I have been looking forward to it,” he told her. My dad had his arm around my shoulders, watching my mom and Finlay as well. I leaned my head on
his shoulder.
“You have done good for yourself, pumpkin,” he told me. I just nodded. “Finlay,” he said and held out his hand when my mom finally let go of my mate.
“Ron,” Finlay said and shook my dad’s hand. Then he looked down at me and I saw how happy he was for me, mixed with a small part of worry.
“I’m fine,” I said. He opened his arm and I stepped away from my dad and let Finlay pull
me close to him.
“Sure you are,” he agreed.
“How long have you known?” my mom wanted to know.
“About a week,” I said.
“And you didn’t tell me?”
“I thought it would be more fun this way,” I confessed.
“I already knew,” Elder bragged as he came walking with Becky, holding a little boy on his
arm.
“What?!” Elder locked eyes with our mom and I sensed they were mindlinking. “Oh. Well, that was a good decision,” my mom relented.
“Congratulations to the both of you,” Becky told me. She looked genuinely happy.
“Thank you,” I told her. Both she and my brother kept a little distance between us. It was
sweet that they didn’t want to cause Finlay to worry.
“Mino, this is aunt Amie,” Elder said to his son. The boy looked at me with my brother’s
eyes and I gave him a huge smile.
“Hello there, Mino. I have been looking forward to meeting you,” I said with a huge smile

as I took a couple of steps towards him. I reached my hand forward and after waiting a moment, he took my hand in his little one and we shook. Mino seemed to get a case of shyness after that and hid in his dad’s neck. I didn’t mind. I was just happy to see him, and my wolf added his scent to her memory. Becky gave me a hug. “Was the journey okay?” I asked her.
“Yeah, I’m happy it wasn’t as long as the one to the Games. How about you? I’m impressed Finlay even let you come.” There were chuckles coming from my pack members.
“Let’s say we have made a tour of all the rest stops between here and the pack land,” I told her and giggled.
“Amie, congratulations. We are so happy for you.” I looked over to the group of people on the deck and saw uncle Mark standing there with Joy. I had been too focused on my parents, I hadn’t looked at the rest of the group.
“Thank you, uncle Mark,” I said and felt Finlay put his arm around my waist and pull me tight to him. I knew he didn’t fully trust the former Alpha and I wasn’t going to object. This trip was hard on him and I was perfectly fine with him being overprotective toward anyone who wasn’t family.
“Luna Amie, Alpha Finlay, congratulations. It is truly a blessing for the pack when the Alpha couple are expecting,” James said. Finlay pulled me even closer and I could feel how close he was to growling. I put my hand on top of his that rested on my hip.
“Alpha James, thank you. Sorry for keeping you waiting, Finn insisted we take regular breaks along the way,” I said.
“As he should,” James said. He sounded fine, neutral. I relaxed a little. There was a hint of something, maybe sorrow or regret, in his eyes, but he kept it contained.
“Let’s get you inside. The Alphas and Betas can discuss the fine prints and we can have some tea and talk,” my mom said. Inside, the cabin had an open floor plan on the first floor. To the left there was a kitchen and to the right a living area. My mom took me over to the couch with Becky and Mino close behind. Joy came walking with a woman I didn’t
know.
“Luna Amie, this is Carol,” Joy introduced us. I said hello to her and had to admit I was a little curious about her. There was a pause and everyone looked over my shoulder. I
looked as well. While most of the men had either secured the perimeter or sat down at the kitchen table to talk about the agreement, Sam stood behind me.
“Oh, don’t mind him. Sam has always taken his Gamma duty as my bodyguard seriously. Now that I’m pregnant, I can’t seem to get him to stop hovering,” I told them with a laugh. Carol’s eyes moved to my stomach and then quickly moved to James.
