With the meeting over, the pack dispersed and returned to their respective matters. Thanks to news on Ellie's pregnancy, the werewolves have calmed down somewhat, no longer tense about news and possibilities of there being a possible traitor amongst them, especially from the authority werewolves. Although, it may be more because of the 'example' William made out of Lector- who was sent to the dungeon after the event. Regardless, things were as peaceful as can be now. Ellie was back in her humble abode, lying in bed, gently rubbing her tummy. While she was not expect her child to feel... well, anything from the action now, she hoped it would at least sense the comfort she was giving it. Its birth may still be far off, but she still wanted to do something motherly for it before them. Before... they are forced to be separated... 'Is this what a mother's instincts is like?' she wondered. 'Even though I shouldn't and don't want this kid... Even though I can't be with it... How stupid do

In Ellie's house, Ellie had been doing nothing but cleaning around the house. Since she couldn't do anything strenous- as ordered by Samantha- she had been feeling restless doing nothing all day. Thankfully, she was allowed to do some cleaning, at least, especially as she was still in her early stage. It was not that she liked to clean- in fact, she rarely did any of that back in the Hermit Pack- but it was still a workout in its own way, and thus relieving her of her restlessness. "Alright, I think that should do for cleaning for now," she sighed, wiping away a bit of sweat from her forehead. She looked around her small home, taking in the sight of her clean work. "I wonder if it's because I've clean this place up a lot of times already. It looks much brighter than before." Spending the past week to clean her small abode? Ellie did not clean the place once or twice, or even three times; she cleaned about a dozen times now. It was also not as though she had been cleaning daily either

William dashed in the woods with Ellie on his heels. To his pure confusion, instead of being in her wolf form as any werewolf would in a hunt, the girl was running with her human form. When in wolf form, a werewolf's speed drastically increase, as would their sense of hearing and smell, thus raising their chance of finding a good prey to hunt down. So why didn't Ellie turn?'And so my suspicions of her grew,' William thought, narrowing his eyes at the girl behind him. 'Guess you made a good call on this hunt after all, Liam. Who'd have thought it truly does have its perks?'The whole idea to hunt with Ellie was really Liam's idea. After failing to get close to Ellie- to their baby- for the past several days, William was at his wits' end. He grew tempted to even try to calm the girl down by force if he had to, force her to be submissive if it meant getting to his pup.Ironically enough, Liam was against the idea, wanting to instead go about approaching Ellie in a more peaceful manner,

As soon as they were done with their meal, William and Ellie returned to the pack, with the Alpha seeing the girl back to her house."Thanks again for letting me out on that hunt," Ellie thanked."Don't mention it. I just don't want you to get stuffy and give birth to an unhealthy baby," William told her.'Because the sooner I give birth to a strong, healthy baby, the better it will be for you and Jen...' Ellie solemnly thought in understanding, feeling a little hurt from the reminder."Yeah... Well, good night." Without another word, she entered her house to retire for the night.Upon seeing her enter with that false smile on her face, William did not know why, but he felt the need to reach out and stop her. It did not take long for the Alpha to realize that this must be what his wolf was actually feeling. A feeling that proved to be dangerous for him, for if a werewolf's wolf was to ever feel strongly about something to the point that the werewolf's body was to take unintentional ac

William arrived at Samantha's place, where he found the healer working away with some medicine in her office. "Samantha."Upon hearing his call, Samantha turned and was more than happy to see him, rather than surprised. "Oh, Alpha! I am so glad you're here! Please, have a seat."Taken aback by those words, William walked over to her and sat in a seat opposite of her. "Why so happy to see me here?""Well, I know you've been seeing Ellie lately, and you know I have been seeing her on a weekly or semi-weekly basis to see how she and the fetus are doing," she began already setting some slight alarms in WIlliam's head."Get to the point."At those words, the smile Samantha had on her face left, replaced by a conflicted expression. "With the baby starting to show in the middle of her second trimester- and I don't mean any disrespect to you or Beta Jen- but to ensure a smoother growth for it, you will have to spend more time with Ellie."William raised a brow at what his healer was suggestin
