“What do we do?” Alice asked as they were all prepared to go into wolf-hagen already but they were also worried for Valerie.Nathan carefully looked her up and down, she hasn’t broken the news to her friends and she had no idea what and how to tell them she might be carrying Kai’s baby.“You don’t look too good.” He pointed out, his eyes still searching her body for something unusual. She really wasn’t looking too good. She was unusually tired and at some point, she’d thought she couldn’t fight or do anything at wolf-Hagen.“I’m fine, I promise.” She answered with a weak smile as they all got out. Alexei had gone to see his mother again and this time he’d explained to her what he thinks Valerie might be doing.He broke the news of him being a father and she was the happiest, although she had doubts about human-wolf relationship, she was still happy for her son.They got to wolf-hagen and Valerie took a deep long breath, she would be seeing Kai and the Perez again, it was the perfect t

The drive back to Nashville was eventful as they both enjoyed their trip.

I’m fine babe, just been thinking.” She finally opened up, she’d wanted to have a deep discussion about the baby and the whole thing, was now the right time for that? She wasn’t quite sure a

**SOME MONTHS LATER**The last few months had been peaceful and also joyous for Valerie, with Alexei and the rest of the Perez family sticking around for her. She had no idea how she’d achieved all she had but she knew the moon goddess and the love of her life had helped her greatly.“Here.” Alexei said as he handed her a glass of warm milk and Valerie retched, she’d hated the milk and she had no idea why, it was probably her pregnancy hormones.“C’mon,” she sighed, “you know I hate milks.” She added and Alexei rolled his eyes so hard that he could feel it at the back of his head.“You’re heavy now and the healer recommended this, now don’t make it hard for me, take your milk like the good girl you are.” He smiled as he took her hand and placed the glass of milk in it.Valerie smiled and when Alexei raised an eyebrow, she brought the cup to her mouth and downed the content, cleaning her mouth as she belched and gave the cup back to Alexei.He’d always been there for her, when she’d fa
