Chapter 55

The preparations for the baby shower were escalating. Dina was by the house almost every day, the shower was scheduled for mid-November and the plans were going just as they should.

I honestly didn't want a big thing but the pack seemed to disagree. They wanted it grand for their Alpha. They should have known that grand was a lot of work. Since our house did not have a very big backyard to accommodate the pack, other werewolves from the pack were brought in to clear some trees and do some landscaping for it to work.

It was only natural that I and Aiden wanted the shower to take place at our home and not some events garden where it would be difficult for us to put the pups to bed. So it had been a bust week, lots of noise around and it was making Rafe antsy.

I decided to move out for a bit until the landscaping was done with. We went to stay with Owen in the mean time. It was sad that Aiden couldn't come with us as he had to stay and look over the house while the men did their work.

The first night was a bit hard for my babies, they were so used to being with Aiden that it was so hard for them to adapt without him. Owen now understood that I was off limits and had not tried to move on me again. Now he just treated me like his own little sister. He helped a lot with the pups. I just thought that the pups felt safer in the arms of a very capable and strong male.

We had stayed at Owen's pack for about three days before an urgent message found its way to us. It was a note from Aiden saying There is trouble, you are needed ASAP.

That's it, no underlying information or hat the trouble is. Panicked, I left with Owen immediately. What if something had happened to Aiden, no I shouldn't be thinking of such things, I'm sure Aiden was fine everything was fine, I was hoping.

When we got to my pack, we were directed to the meeting hall where everyone seemed to be. There was an emergency meeting. What could have happened for there to be an urgent meeting. I was soon to find out.

Strolling in with my stroller into the hall, people stopped me to give me congratulations on the new comers. I realized that Aiden and I had been hiding from society since the birth of these little sweetings that many did not know that the Alpha's wife had her pups.

"My does she look like her father and he like you" said some woman who had her turn of congratulating me. Like she knew that she was being praised, Raven gives the woman her killer smile and coos for her. "My my, isn't she a little darling." The woman comments. I give my thanks and move away.

I honestly didn't like the way these people were looking at my pups, if at all I was a superstitious person, I would have said that these people might cast an evil eye on my babies. Gladly I wasn't and there was no chance of anyone saying that their Luna had lost it. They already didn't like me that much. I was not trying to give them anymore reason to dislike me.

But that evil eye idea wasn't far fetched I knew that, how I knew I do not know, but I felt it I just did. I finally got to my sitting place and took my seat with my babies beside me. They looked so unbothered with the noise in the hall. I would have thought that Rafe would be bothered but what he really looked annoyed with was his sister, like he did not understand why she was so happy and full of laughter. This made me smile to know that they were fine.

Soon Aiden was at the mic addressing the hall, I didn't see him come in. "Fellow werewolves, it has come to our concern that two members of our pack have lost their lives in the midst of the human community." At this people start to mummer.

Aiden continues, "by the looks of things, they were brutally murdered. We still do not know what might have happened to them but we have a team on the case to find this out. In the meantime as we wait for answers, you are all advised to be careful and maybe take some time before we interact with the humans as we do not know what or who killed our members out there. Please be safe."

That marked the end of emergency meeting. Everybody started to file out of the hall and I joined. I knew that I was going to meet Aiden sooner or later, right now he was busy.

On my way out, I overhear a group of women talking. "First it was those humans now this?" the first woman says. "I know right, I can't help but think it's that prostitute Aiden brought in's fault. We did not have such troubles before that." Says the other. "Shush, don't let anyone hear you ladies, we do not want what happened to Claire happen to us now do we." They all look back at me as if accusing me that what happened to Claire was my fault and hurry along.

Is my life in this pack going to be like this? Only if I wasn't in love with their Alpha I would have left this place, I did not deserve this treatment. But who was I to make everyone like me, you and I know it is not possible at all. So fine by me, they did not need to like me, I was still their Luna.

I was out now and into the midday sun, the sun was so faint for midday and it was breezy. Aiden found me then and we went back home, not telling him of the nasty thought people in his pack thought of me.
