Chapter 63

**Approximately 5 Months Later **
**Winter**

I feel huge, exhausted, and cranky. It is hard to move, and Cole must help me out of bed. At least I haven't been nauseated for the last three months so that is good. I have made a ton of progress with the females in the pack and today is my last day of training for a while.

I am delivering the boys her soon in the next two weeks or so and I need to focus on getting stuff ready for them. I still am so pleased we are having boys. They are the future of our pack. I know Cole is over the moon. We still have not decided on names, so we need to really hash that out.

But all I can think about at this moment is my peanut butter and honey sandwich waiting for me. Marie has been making them every morning since I found out I am obsessed with them. I finally eat and head out to the training arena.

All the females are there doing the stretches to warm up. I am so glad that Shelly is already there warming them up. She as Marcus's mate and Beta female has really been an asset with my initiative on getting females in the pack more involved.

I have seen tremendous progress in fitness with the she wolfs and a lot more shifting. It has been great I knew once they got out of that shell, they would really embrace the fact they are not weak females but stong werewolves. I am helping and encouraging and building them up. I am much more of a bystander at this point seeing as I am huge.

**Cole**

I am in the office and just filling out some paperwork. I have so much on my mind the boys are going to be born soon. We will be mobilizing to take out Gerrard soon as well. Not to mention I am going on barley any sleep. Winter had been having nightmares for five months just about and it is wearing me out.

I cannot imagine what she is going through. I know when the boys get here it will still be lots of sleepless nights as babies are a ton of work but at least the nightmares my mate has been having have prepared me for sleepless nights. It is almost always the same night terror either flashbacks or something happening to the kids.

Even with all the sleepless nights I am so excited to meet the little guys. I remember when we found out we were having boys. We both were so thrilled. It establishes a future for our pack. Which is something I had been concerned about for a long time.

Before I met Winter, I was worried I would never encounter my mate and that our pack would not be able to rely on me to give them an heir. That the future would fall to Marcus line. Not that, that would be bad, but I do have an obligation to the pack.

While looking over some business papers I get a mind link from Shasha, my sister-in-law, “get to pack hospital.” Dante chines in telling me our mate is in trouble. Without a second to lose I bolt and head to the packs medical center.

**Winter**

“Okay tell me what happened Luna.” Doctor Harrold asks. “Well, my wolf, Athena, was trying to force a shift during training. She is on edge and I am having a hard time controlling her. She is antsy and acting out. My hands started to shift, and I had to force Athena to stop which I don’t ever do. But after I forced her back, I passed out for a minute or so and then Sasha rushed me here.”

Doctor Harold just stares at me till he finally speaks “well.... we can...” just then Cole rushes into the room. He is acting all irrational and starts yelling “What the hell happened? Are you okay? Are the babies, okay?”

“Alpha I was just about to check on the babies, but it seems everything is okay. Luna just passed out which can be normal in pregnancy, but I am concerned with Lunas Wolf. She doesn’t seem to have a good hold on her wolf and like I have told both of you before this is dangerous in pregnancy. Now Luna are you bleeding at all?” Harold asks as he gets the Doppler out to check on the boys.

“No doctor Harold I am not bleeding. It is just I am still having to force Athena down seeing as she is still currently trying to shift, and it is very tiring. I am trying to get her to calm down, but she won't.” As I say this, I can feel my skin prickle and I know yet again Athena is trying to break through the surface and take control.

Doctor Harold looks at the screen and shows us the boys. “They look good the heartbeats are still strong. You are almost full term so we could induce you now, but I do not think that is a good idea seeing as your wolf is currently fighting for control.”

“I am going to prescribe bed rest and a sedative that you are to take. It won’t necessarily knock you out, but it will calm you and your wolf, Athena. Also, I am going to give you a no sex rule so Alpha you are not to sleep with Luna for the remainder of her pregnancy.”

The listened into Cole's thoughts when Doctor Harold said this. Granted I normally try not to invade his personally feelings and thoughts as I feel it is an invasion of privacy, but I could not help but be curious. What I found when I listened resulted in me laughing so hard, it caught everyone off guard.

What Cole was thinking was “How dare this doctor try to keep me from my mate. I do not care if he says not to have sex, she is my mate and if I want to fuck her and she is willing I am going to fuck her. I mean has he seen Winter. Even now with her large belly she is freaking hot. Her breasts are even bigger. Man, Goddess I just want to take them in my mouth right now. Fuck this no sex rule. I am the God dam alpha, and she is Luna, and no one can tell me I cannot fuck her what an ass hole.”

“What is so funny?” Doctor asks. “Maybe you should ask your Alpha. I mean I don’t think you’re an ass hole, but he may after that no sex rule.” Coles face just turned beet red. He knows I had heard his thoughts, and he was embarrassed. All I could do was smile and keep chuckling.

We finish up and pick up the prescription and head back to the pack house so I can crawl into bed. Per the doctor's orders of bed rest. But as we are about to head back Cole tries to convince me to let him push me in a wheelchair home. My response is “Fuck no I'm not an invalid.”

This results in him picking me up and carrying me back to the packhouse and putting me in bed. He sends a mind link to house staff saying “Luna is on bed rest so please adjust to this new information in your services. Thanks.” I take the sedative prescribed and am exhausted from the mornings events and drift off into a nap.
