"Mom, is this really you?"
"Orson, I don't have a lot of time. Where is you father,"
"Not sure mom, Orson, get a paper and write down this address tell you father to come and get me bring lots of help. Papa needs to use the plane." I gave him the address. 
"Don't call this number back. I love you, son."
"Love you, mom, we are coming."
I hung up the phone and gave it back to Marta. We sat quiet for a while, and then she turned to me.
"Werewolves have airplanes?" She asked.
"Some, my father is the Alpha of a very large pack that has been around for hundreds of years."
"When you're not a wolf, you look like a normal human?" I nodded my head.
We sat and talked about life as a werewolf. She was surprised that four of my children had just passed the bar, and three were going to medical school in Paris. 
"Marta, you have to act normal until they get here." 
"But I'm scared, Emma,"
"You have to try,"
There was knocking at the bedroom door.
"Tell him you are sitting with me because I’m not feeling good," I whispered as this time, the knocking was louder.
"Matra, are you in there?" Thorn yelled.
She got up and went to the door and opened it.
"Yes, I'm sitting with Emma she is not feeling well. Why are you pounding on doors?"
"No one seen you. I was wondering what was going on."
"You give me a charge of a sick pregnant woman, and you wonder where I am. You saw me making a cart for her in the kitchen. I'm trying to get her to sleep. Your pounding on doors is not helping."
"I'm sorry Marta, I was just worried about you." Well, off you go, I would like to retire at some point myself. Though I my have to stay here if she keeps being sick to her stomach. I hope your goons did not give her anything that would make her this sick!"
"I told them not to,"
"Well, you better check she has been throwing up all afternoon. And it is not flu or morning sickness."
"I will check to be sure I'm sorry I disturbed you. Good night."
She closed and locked the door. 
"Do you always talk to him like that?" I asked.
"Come to think of it, yes I have for over ten years now."
"You sure you want to leave." I asked.
"Why would you ask that, I want to see my children and grandchildren." Marta was almost in tears.
"I'm sorry, I just noticed he has a soft spot for you. You boss him around like his mate would." I told her.
"Ok, now I'm going to be sick for real."
"Come on, sit with me. I hope it will not be much longer. When they get here, stay with me and stay out of the way."
"What is going to happen?"
"They may come in human or in their animal form. There will be a lot of wolves and bears fighting. I don't want you getting hurt."
"Your wolf is gone, so you can't fight?"
"I can and will fight. Just stay close to me so I can be sure you are not hurt."
"Emma, I just noticed your hair."
"What about my hair?” I asked.
"It is starting to get pure silver streaks in it."
I ran to the mirror and looked why I was not the silver wolf anymore. I went back and lay down. I was confused. 
"Emma, can you hear me?"
"Emma, now you're ignoring me." I was afraid to say her name.
"Dawn? Why do I hear you?" I asked. 
"Forgive me, Emma, please, I begged the Moon Goddess to give me back to you. But you have to accept me."
"Dawn, I can't control you."
"Emma, I will be the perfect wolf, I will never force you to shift. I will listen to you. I could not be happy there without you. Please, Emma, accept me back."
"You will never overpower me or lock me in my mind again."
"I swear never again. I will be the wolf you need me to be. Even when I was not here, you got hurt because of me."
"How do I do this, Dawn?"
"Pray to the Moon Goddess tell her you accept or reject me." Well, Marta was going to think I was crazy. 
"You have to protect Marta when we are getting out of here."
"I will, I promise." Dawn said.
"Moon Goddess, hear my prayer, I Emma Heart-Ray do accept Dawn back as my wolf forever." There was a great light that took over the whole room. Marta looked frightened.
"It is ok Marta, don't be scared." I told her.
"What just happened?" She asked.
"I was given back my wolf."
"Will she hurt me?" Marta asked.
"No, Marta, she is me, and I am her. She will protect you as we leave."
"Can I see her?" She asked.
"Dawn, can we shift in here?" I asked.
"It will be tight, but yes," and so I shifted to Dawn. Marta reached out and touched her. Dawn nuzzled into Marta like Marta was her mother." We heard someone in the hall. I shifted back and went to the bathroom.
"Marta, is everything ok in there?"
"Yes, Emma just ran to the bathroom to throw up again." 
"Give her ginger tea"
"What do you think I have been doing. Go to bed, your grouchy, " Marta said
"Good night." Thorn said. Seeing him like this, I almost regretted that I was going to kill him.
Marta and I settled down and waited for Ben to arrive.

DWAYNE'S POV 
I was sitting on the porch with Cherity trying to figure out where we would find this Sir Henry guy when the children all came running out of the house all talking at once.
Ben let out a loud growl, and they stopped.
"Dad, what is wrong with you and your phone?" Alaska asked.
"Nothing, why?" 
"Mom called you three times, and it went to your machine." I started to pull out my phone, and then it hit me what he said. 
"Who did she talk to?"
"Me. You need to take papas planes and go to this address. mom is waiting with another woman for you to come get her." Orson said, passing Cherity the paper. We took off to my office, getting Razer, Francis, and Maz to come. Orson and Alaska were right behind us. Ben stopped.
"You boys go back to the house."
"No, we are coming to get mom. We are men, not children," Alaska said. I nodded, and we got to my office quickly. The warriors were already to the plane with Marlene and Old Joe. I coordinated with the pilot where we were going and the landing area. By the time we got there, the planes were ready to take off. We were in the air five minutes after we boarded. Hang on princess daddy is coming I said.
