Erica’s POV

After spending a wonderful morning with my mates I am now standing on the front steps of the pack house tears streaming down my face. While I slept the brothers decided that Ace and Bryce would head to the West pack with my father to arrange who would be in charge of the pack. My bottom l*p is pushed out in a pout as I watch two of the men I love and my father drive away.

As the car disappears down the driveway, I turn on my heels and storm back into the pack house without speaking to my mother or Chris. I am sure that I am acting childish but I do not appreciate being left out of the decision of who went to the West Pack. If I had my way I would have sent my father alone and kept my mates here with me.

The door of the pack house slams behind me and I know that my mother is following me up the stairs.

“Erica,” I hear my mother calling my name as I storm back up the stairs. “Erica, you come down here this instant.”

I roll my eyes at my mother’s attempt to chastise me. I am the Luna of a pack now she can no longer treat me like a child.

“What?” I growl as I spin around letting my angry emotions fill the air around me.

My mother takes in a sharp breath and steps away from me. “Erica,” she changes her tone slightly.

“You are acting selfish. You aren’t the only one that is without their mate. We are all making sacrifices.”

“Don’t you think that I understand that?” I scream at her. “Everyone is making sacrifices because of me.”

“You cannot be angry at all of us just because you are special,” my mother continues to reprimand me. “You aren’t making this easy on anyone.”

I can feel my anger begin to dissolve, leaving nothing but sorrow in its place. Once again my mother is right. My shoulders slump over and I can feel nothing but dread budding in my chest.

“Mom, how am I supposed to live without two of them?” I begin to cry. My mother rushes up the stairs and takes me into her arms.

“You still have Chris here by your side and I am here too,” my mother gently shushes me. “We will make sure that you are taken care of.”

“Plus,” Chris says as he walks up the stairs. “I have a surprise for you.”

Turning around I basically jump into his arms and he catches me in the air with a bright smile on his face.

“What kind of surprise?” I ask like a little child.

“Follow me,” Chris says with a smile on his face. “Ace and Bryce wanted to be here when we showed you but we were a little busy this morning.”

Chris winks at me and I blush at the thought of what we did this morning. It would appear that the only cure for my morning sickness is the tingles of the mate bond while we are in the throes of passion.

Grabbing me by the hand, Chris walks me up the stairs, and much to my surprise we stop outside of Ace’s bedroom. Chris opens the door and I expect to see the disaster that Ace left in his room just a few nights ago. But I am shocked when I see that the room is completely bare. The whole room has been stripped of everything.

Walking into the center of the room, I turn around with a confused look on my face. “I don’t understand.”

“This was our nursery when we were babies before it was Ace’s room,” Chris tells me. “We thought that you would like to decorate it for our baby. We thought that could keep you busy while Ace and Bryce are gone.”

“What about my Luna duties?” I ask, trying to contain my excitement.

“That is what I am here for,” my mother says from the doorway. “I will help you to get situated in your new position. We both know that I did both the Luna and female Beta roles when I was in the West Pack.”

As I walk over to hug my mother, my foot slips on a piece of paper that is on the floor. Bending over I pick the paper off of the floor and turn it over in my hands. I freeze as I look down at the paper in my hands.

It is a message that is written in pieces of cut-up magazine letters.

I am coming for your son.

“Is this some sort of joke?” I gasp as I look at Chris.

“What do you mean?” Chris says with his eyebrows furrowed together in confusion.

I thrust the paper in his direction and I immediately begin to shake uncontrollably.

Chris looks down at the paper and his eyes grow wide with shock. “Erica, you know that we would never play a joke like this on you.”

“Where did this come from?” I ask shakily while I hold my stomach. “How do they even know that it is a boy? We don’t even know what it is yet.”

Chris pulls his phone out of his pocket and immediately calls someone. “You need to get back here now,” he yells into the phone. “Someone is threatening our mate and our baby.”

“What the f**k are you talking about?” I hear Ace growl through the phone.

“Just get back here as soon as you can,” Chris screams at his brothers.

“What about the West Pack?” Bryce asks with concern in his voice.

“f**k the West Pack,” Chris growls before he hangs up the phone and places it back in his pocket.

Chris pulls me close to his body and I realize that he is shaking too. “It is going to be okay,” he says. “We are going to figure out who left this here.”

“What if they take my baby from me?” The shock finally begins to wear off and tears stream down my face.

“That isn’t going to happen,” Chris says before he k****s me on top of my head. “We won’t let it.”
