(8 months later)
The guys were surprised, except for Nick and Jamie, when they heard that I was pregnant. I didn’t start having a baby bump by the time I was officially a month old. I go the weirdest crabbing like when I was three months pregnant and two weeks old, no matter what, I would wake up two in the morning force the guys to get up, (the doctors didn’t want me to be driving) drive me to McDonalds to be a Big max a large thing of fries and a large drink with half Mellow Yellow and Coke. It was such an every night thing, that the guys would be heading down the same time.
I sat on the couch munching way on the giant jar of pickles. We were watching Hot Tub Time Machine. I sat next to Jamie and Nicky.
“How can you eat so much?” Johnny asked me, “It’s like a super power.”
I shrugged my shoulders, “Well I got to feed three people so yeah, I’m going to eat a lot.” I felt a sharp pain in my heart. I’ve learned how to control the pain of him having sex with someone else. It still hurt, but I was still able to keep a poker face. I kept on watching the move. The pain came deeper. It was the worse than the first one. This one was different. I quickly put down the jar of pickles and went straight to the nearest bathroom. I felt like throwing up. I felt the feeling of bile come up in my mouth when I just made it to the toilet, I felt someone come behind me and hold my hair up for me. I grabbed some toilet paper and wiped my mouth, eyes and blew my nose.
I looked up at Jamie as she put my hair down. “Thanks.” I told her.
“Don’t worry about it, you would do the same for me.” She told me. The pain came back but not like before, it felt like I was getting hit by a train plus fifty something cars on it. I barely could breath. Jamie’s eyes grew with concern and hate, “What’s wrong? Is he…” she asked me.
“I do-“I tried to say as another wave came over me this time, I felt something we go down my leg.
“Shit!” she said, helping me back to my feet.
“What?” I asked her.
“I think he’s doing something and it’s putting you to labor!” she said. “GUYS I COULD USE YOUR HELP!” she yelled at the guys, “CODE RED! I REPEAT CODE RED! She yelled.
Nick was the first one to the door but looked pale, his face was white like first fallen snow, and “What do we do?” he asked.
“We need to get her to the pack doctor. Johnny, run up stairs and get the diaper bag.” She told him. Nick and Zack carried me to the car as Johnny ran to get the bag and Shane opened the door, getting in to the driver seat.
Jamie sat with me, and Nick held me hand. I felt the pain that he nurses told me about come, I gritted my teeth, gripping on to Nick’s fingers.
“Shit! Shane hurry up!” she yelled at Shane. Shane’s face was white as Nick’s, but he turned on the truck and stated to drive to the pack hospital. We parked in the emergency lane, Shane got out and go me in to a wheel chair. Jamie and Nick helped me in to the chair. They got me through the gates. A nurse caught attention.
“Ellis Wood.” I huffed out. Another shot of pain came through, I tightened my grip on the handles on the wheel chair.
“Get me Dr. Horne that Ellis Wood is in labor, NOW!” she yelled another nurse, she grabbed the phone and quickly started dialing. Then another nurse brought me to the labor section of the hospital. She helped me on the bed. Nick and Shane felt the need to hold my hand, and I was grateful for it.
I don’t know how long it was for Dr. Horne came in, “How far is she?” Dr. Horne wasn’t my original doctor to diagnosis my pregnancy.
“About 9.” The nurse told him.
“Get me the gloves.” He yelled at her, pointing at a box of latex gloves. “How are you doing?”
“Dandy, just dandy.” I told him, my hair was already soaked with sweat.
He clapped his hands together, “Alright, let’s get started.” He opened my legs, “Alright can you give me a push?” he asked me. I picked myself up and gave a painful push, “UH!” I yelled.
“Great effort! Give me another!” he yelled at me again. I pushed harder. “UH! AHHHHH!” I screamed in pain. I clutched their hands tighter. I heard a crack but I didn’t know what it was.
“Shit! She broke my hand.” I heard someone growl in pain.
“I see a head!” the doctor cheered.
I felt Jamie, pat my head with a wet towel. I gave another push, “AHHH!” I yelled.
“A BOY” the Horne yelled. He wrapped him up in a towel and handed him to a nurse. She rushed off with him to the thing to weigh him.
I toke a hold of their hands, and pushed. Someone switched hands with me. “AH!” I screamed.
I heard Horne, “I see a head…” I gave on more big push. “IT’S A BOY!” He said, smiling. I felt so tired I could sleep for the rest of my life.
“Huh?” I heard him say. I sat straight up, my energy levels back to about 10%.
“Wh-What’s wrong?” I tried to ask him. I looked around the room for my babies.
“Well, your stomach should have gone down. But it seems…” he said. He felt my stomach. “It seems I have miss calculated...give me one more push.” He told me, getting back to place.
I gave a push, nothing happened. I gave another push. “I SEE A HEAD!” he told me. Three? How could I handle three kids? I barely have room for two!
Maybe I should get a house? I gave another push, but before I could hear the sex of my third child. I saw black spots and passed out. The last thing I heard was, “ELLIS!”
I felt like I was falling through the air. I tried to scream but when I did my, it didn’t make a sound. I kept on falling, my hair whipped behind me like crazy. I tried to try something to drag the air or something it was very unlikely for me to survive this fall. Just then I felt like as light as a feather, and then a ping! I slowly got up, I was in a glass looking jar, round with a narrow opening. I jumped trying to get hold of the rim…a grip for something. When I landed I slipped on the gown they put on me at the hospital. I got back up but to be looking at a hundred people that looked identical like me.
“Fight or flight?” they all said in unison.
Nick’s POV
“Ellis!” I screamed. As I saw her eye lids shut down. She just gave birth to three beautiful children. Mr. Horne, came rushing over. He flashed a light in her eyes, “She’s getting enough oxygen in her brain, she’s….” he began to rattle on, “has she meet her mate?” she asked me, putting the light pack in his pocket.
I looked down, “Yes, but he raped her and then rejected her…I don’t even think he even knows she’s alive or even…”
His head shook with pity, “Sham. It may be her wolf deciding to live or not, in ware wolves. When giving birth they have to have their mate…or they die…” he said. He checked her breath then the heart monitor. “It seems that her heart has speed up but that could have been from the labor…” he said, fixing his glasses and tapping the glass.
“Ellis! If you are in there, FIGHT! You have a chance to live, to see your children grow. Think about them. Huh? Do you want them to grow up with no mom and dad? Or have a beautiful caring mother?” he whispered in her ear.
Alex’s POV
(The night of the Ellis’s labor)
I toke a heavily swig of whatever bottle I could drink up. I felt a little light headed but that’s alright. I just wanted to feel numb. I was having one of my parties…again. My dad just elected me as Alpha. And this was the party the party of the century. I smiled at the thought. Someone had the bright idea to go to the store and buy one of those cheap king hats and robe for me, so to be nice, I wore them. I toke another drink when a girl smelling strongly of alcohol walked to me.
“You’re king now,” she said, “What could I do for you majesty?” she asked me, trying to be all sexy…it worked.
“I got something in mind.” I told her. I walked her to my room, I pushed her up against the wall, and picked her legs up. She wrapped them around my waist. I kissed her hard. I wanted her. I toke another drink of whatever and pushed further into her. I toke of her shirt. I began kissing on her neck. She pushed her neck towards me, “Please! Just one bite!” she moaned.
I toke off her bra, wanting more room for her neck. I licked her neck and before I knew it, I bit into her neck, marking her. She gave a soft his, the heel of her foot dug in to my back, then a moan. She pressed herself on me, slowly grinding. Then in a flash she changed. She toke off my shirt, marking me. I hissed in pleasure.
Then a sharp pain in my abdominal. She pulled her teeth away. Licking the mark. “What’s wrong? Cat’s got your tongue?” she asked me. I grabbed her and hurried her tot eh bed. I started taking off her clothes, faster than she could take mine off. The pain grew more. She moved away from me just in time, before I dug my claws in to the bed. She began to get dressed.
“DOCTOR!” she yelled.

Ellis’s POV
“Hi Ellis.” They said.
“Who are you? Where? How?” I started rambling.
“Shut up!” they all yelled at me. “You’re wolf is going to be put to the test.” They said, they rose up their hands to me. I felt like someone just dunked me in to a jug of ice cold water, they raised their hands up to the top, they raised their hands higher it felt like everything that was holding me together came out in to a pure white smoke.
“Pure.” They all purred. I watched as my wolf stayed still, in a respectful way; it wasn’t like she was drugged…before putting her one the scale.
“This is the Moon-Roman Scale. This will weigh your soul.” The scale was made entirely of silver, there was a thin line of fine blue sapphire wrapping around it. They laid her down softly but as her skin touched it, she cried in pain. I fell on my knees I clutched my chest. I felt the pain that she was felling. They smiled. They lifted their hands again, pulling her off the scale and placing her back in my body.
“You passed. You’re pure…” they all said.
“But…” half of them started to say.
“NO! Let it be a surprise.” The other half said. A wicked smile played over them, a dark cloud came across their face, “But we will tell you this…you will have the thirst of silver when you wake up.”

My eyes opened, at first I didn’t know where I was. Then I saw my friends, sitting in their waiting for something. I let out a groan, and tried to sit back up. “What the hell.” I groaned out, I tried to stand up. But a hot shot of pain came threw me. I felt sore. I felt a need for something.
“Ellis.” I heard. I closed my eyes when a shot of bright light came through the window.
I opened my eyes, again greeted my friends…they looked shocked. “What happened to your eyes? They changed!” Jamie told me.
“What?” I asked her, quickly she dug out her makeup mirror from her purse. I held it to my eyes, they were pure silver. “How?” I asked myself, the scenes of that…trial; it was the best way to describe it. My thirst increased when I saw my eyes. Silver! Sliver! My wolf cried out in hunger.
“It’s your mate!” she told me, “He did something, it caused you to go to labor and almost got your wolf to…I don’t know what that was…” she told me.
A sudden jolly of memory came back to me, I was giving birth…to three.
“Where’s my babies!” I began panicking. Shane, Nick, and Johnny came out with my three beautiful babies, two in blue blankets and one in pink. A single hot tear came out of my right eye. I reached out with eager hands. “How long have I been out?” I asked, they were all sleeping.
“Only about twenty hours…” Shane said, questioning his math skills.
“Oh,” I said, I saw his hand it was wrapped in a white bandages and those medal thing they put on broken fingers, “What happened to your hand?” I asked him.
His eyes went huge, like I didn’t know, “You kidding me, you don’t remember? You broke my hand!” he told me, shaking his injured hand in my face. I laughed at him.
“Really?” I asked him.
“Your mate did something…” Jamie said, trying to put the mystery together, her eyes shot open with ideas, “What if …you know what let’s just figure out this later…”
“What am I going tom do with three? I only got room for two.” I thought out aloud.
“Don’t worry! We’re got enough room for the four of you at the pack house.” Nicky said.
“Thank you.” I pleaded at him.
“So what are you going to name them?” Jamie asked me.
I looked at the little infants in my arms. “Aries.” I told them looking at my only girl. She had bright blonde hair, almost silver and bright as snow. I heard a little sneeze, as her eyes opened they were a dark shade of green almost jade.
“Like the zodiac sign?” Shane asked me.
“Yea.” I laughed at him.
“How about your two Gemini?” Shane asked me.
“Damon and…Michael.” I said, glancing back to my babies. They both had dark black hair, like mine. But I could already see the highlights of their hair coming through. The only difference between them that I could find were their eyes, Damon had bright blue eyes like the sea. And Michael had dark blue like sapphire. All of a sudden my body felt like it was going to pass out again, “Silver…” I coughed out. Jamie, Shane and Johnny, grabbed my babies.
“What?” Nick asked me.
“I need silver.” I told him. The hunger felt like it had claws and were trying to claw out from my stomach. I coughed and blood came in to my hand.
“Silver?” Horne said, he checked the monitors, “Her metabolism has increased, quick get me some silver…”he told Nick and a nurse. The nurse hurried. They carry silver at hospitals?
“But won’t that just kill her? Ware wolves are allergic to silver.” Nick said, raising his voice.
“Yes, but it seems her body is craving it very dearly…” he said. He pressed a button and it spit out information, he grabbed the paper. The nurse came huffing and puffing, her arms slightly red from the silver. Horne went out heavily thick gloves, picking up the silver he handed it to me. I snatched from him, like I needed it and bit in to it. It didn’t taste like metal it tasted warm. Like summer, like sunshine…I can’t describe it.
“What the hell?” Nick asked me. You’ll have the thirst of silver when you wake…echoed in my head.

***One Year Later***
My babies are now a little over a year old. But a pack across from us, their pack house got burned down by rouges. The alpha’s mate died from it, so their pack are going to be staying with us in till they can get their pack house rebuilt. I couldn’t ever imagine what they are going through. Having to find what you have left and just move one. Your memories and everything that you had burns to the ground, and on top of that your Luna dies. When a Luna dies, the whole pack fells it…The pain indescribable, and you fell something missing…well that’s what I’ve heard. The Luna at my old ‘pack’ died a year before I showed up on those porch steps.
“Hey, Jamie!” I yelled.
I heard someone come up the stair, “Yeah.” She answered.
“Would you mind if you watch the triplets?” I asked her, “I’m going to go get a quick run before they come.”
“No problem.” She said, looking at them. I kissed each of them on the head.
“There’s a bottle in the fridge and the dry is in the first cabinet by the fridge.” I told her at I got out, before I closed the door, she waved to me good bye as I closed the door. I quickly ran outside. The guys moved all of my things to this really spacious attic that they had. They even re-did everything in their for us to live in. I could never repay them for it.
I ran in to the thick forest and quickly changed out. I shifted feeling the colors run across my body. I grabbed my clothes into my mouth. I ran wild. I felt cold wet relief when I splashed into a nearby creek. I ran until I got to this field of golden grass. The grass was chest high, so it was a little hard to see. I wasn’t afraid of rouges anymore or anything. They also trained me, hard. Showing me how to fight. Every day they show me a new skill and I work on it until it’s perfect. Nick says I’m one of the quickest to learn. But I think that’s him being nice. Jamie figured that I was smart enough for 12th grade. She had me take several test and it scored me advanced for 12th. The school let me in and here I am. I’m still trying to figure out what I’m going to do after high school. I’ve had many college applications come for me. One from Harvard and Princeton, which are really serious schools. I walked through the giant field to this huge black bolder. I liked to just sit here and just think. I shifted quickly and got dressed I was hided from the grass…but still. I sat on the rock, I don’t even know how long I did. Just then I heard a crack, I stood up quickly to see who it was. I was on the verge of shifting when I saw surrendering hands. “Hey, it’s just me.” Said a dark male voice. “I’m new…I’m not a rouge. I’m from the other pack.” I steeped off my ground.
“Oh, sorry. I didn’t mean to-“I tried telling him before he interrupted me.
“Wow, it’s alright. You were just defending yourself.” He said, “My name is Ryan.” He said. I walked out of the field to see.
I held out my hand, “Ellis.” Is aid as he shook my hand. He had dirty blonde hair with chocolate brown eyes.
“So what’s you pack called?” he asked.
I laughed at him as we walked to the pack house, “The Crystal Gold pack.” I told him. Shoving my hands in my pocket. We kept on walking we toke a left then a right, there was a way I liked to get home, it was like a map implanted in to my head.
“You don’t talk much do you?” he asked me.
I shrugged my shoulders. I had way to much stuff on my plate to worry about guys. I had three kids and no career.
“You want to play 20 questions?” he asked me.
“Sure.” I told him.
“What’s…you favorite color?” he asked me.
“Yellow. You?” I asked.
“Me, I’m a blue. Your turn.” He said.
“Uh. What’s your favorite…animal?” I asked him.
“Giraffes.” He said.
“Uh…snakes.” I told him.
“Snakes?” he asked me.
“Yea. I love snakes, their so beautiful and cute.” I told him.
He burst out laughing at me, I punched him in the shoulder he rubbed it like it hurt, “You think their cute?” he asked me.
“Yea, I have one in my room, corn snake.” I told him, “Your turn.” I said, nudging his shoulder.
“Um…how old are you?” he asked me.
“19…” I told him.
“21.” He said.
“When’s your birthday?” I asked him…counting the game. We didn’t make it to seventeen when we made it out of the woods. It wasn’t dark yet, but there were about 20-30 cars in the parking lot.
“Wow, you must have a really big pack.” I told him.
“This…” he said, “Is only half.”
We walked in the pack house. It’s only been an hour. I walked into the living room, to see Jamie trying to feed Aries, Michael and Damon peas.
“What are you doing.” I told her.
“Trying to feed your kids.” She said, trying to give Aries a spoon of peas.
“It would be successful if you were feeding her what she likes.” I told her. Jamie has asked me in the past if she could take care of my children, she likes it. So I let her, she told me when she meets her mate she wants to be a super mom. I went to the fridge grabbing Gerber’s jar labeled “Carrots”. I toke a clean baby spoon.
“Fine, I’d like to see you feed them lunch without wearing it.” She said, folding her arms, her shirt was covered in mush green pea stains.
509Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8gr42gaG9x
“Watch and learn missy.” I told her. I sat down in the chair. Taking a small dab of carrot on my spoon, I fed her with no problem.
Jamie gapped at me, “BUT…she only did that because you’re her mom.” She said rolling her eyes.
“No, I just got skills.” I told her, giving Michael a bite. He smiled and jumped in his seat. While Damon tried getting out. I went to the sink and got a rag, wetting it and started wiping their faces. “My babies must not be too hungry.”
“You have kids” he asked me. Looking at the jolly threes I had.
“Yep. My pride and joy.” I said, I picked up Damon and put him in his bouncy walking chair thing. Then the other two wanted to get out, so I put them in their bouncy chairs. Aries just liked to skate with hers across the floor and Michael like to just sit in it and play with the toys attached to it. “Damon, Michael and my only girl Aries.” I told him pointing at them.
“Oh, I see you’ve met…a new fried. Nicky was so mad at you when you didn’t show up.” She told me.
“Sorry.” I told her, giving her a smile.
“Hey don’t ‘sorry’ me, Nicky is going to give you hell of a time at the gym.” She told me.
“So is Nicky your mate?” he asked me.
“NO! Good Goddess no.” I told him.
“So who is…” he asked me point at the three.
I felt my heart beat race at his question, racing I said, “You know what, why don’t we go to the park. There’s one really close from here.”
I ran upstairs to go get the three seated stroller. I heard footsteps as I got it out of the closet. It was him.
“Here, let me help.” He told me. I gave him the stroller. Hey I wasn’t going to shoot him down if he offered to carry it, why should I be the one to say no? This just means less for me to carry. It’s funny how lazy I have gotten, since not having to clean the whole damn pack and feed it. He helped me put it in the car. It was a little white SUV, with eight seats and a good sized trunk. I put the triplets in to their seats and buckled them up.
Jamie got in the passenger, I got in the driver, and Ryan go in the back seats. It wasn’t even ten minutes and we were at the park. I got them in the stroller. Then aw we got to the swings, they all go excited they loved the swings. I couldn’t even get them in the seats they were bounce so much.
“They’re we go Aires.” I said, and kissed her cheek. She smiled as I pushed her, not to high. Jamie had the twins, who liked to see one up with the other on was down.
“So what’s your pack name?” I asked him.
“The Turquoise Claw.” He said.
“Huh, that’s different.” I said.
“What?” he asked me.
“Well, it’s a unique name.” I pointed out.
“Yea.” He shrugged, “So how old are they?” he asked.
“One.” I told him, pushing Aries a little higher, it wasn’t cold yet we were in late July.
“Oh, they looked a little older.” He told me.
“I can’t believe it was a year I gave birth to them.” I said, smiling at my pride and joy.
“So who your mate?” he asked me. “It’s just rare for the women and the children to survive the without the mate.”
I frowned at his question, “No. but I had friends. The doctor miscalculated my birth, he said I would give birth to two and I got three. I think my wolf fought that, I think she wanted to be with her children and not a ghost…but it came with a price.” I told him.
“A price?” he asked me.
“My price? I have to eat silver at least every day, or I die.” I told him.
His mind slowly absorbed everything he was told, “So are there his?” he asked me. He walked behind Michael and started pushing him, with Jamie pushing Damon. She hated this past of mine.
“Sadly yes. But for the wrong reason.” I told him. Again, every time I thought of him I would think of him raping me. I couldn’t help but watch the past over and over again, it was just something I had to live with.
His face changed, “I’m sorry…I’ve got to go to my dad is trying to look for me.” He pointed to his head ‘mind link’.
“Alright.” I said, pulling Aries out of the swing. Putting her and her older brothers back in the stroller, and then in the car. They all looked so sleepy, and they didn’t fight it at all. I knew when we got to the pack house, they were asleep. When we walked in Nicky greeted us with, “Where the hell have you been?” he asked me.
“I…we went to the park.” I told him. Strolling the three I pushed the cart back and forth to feel like we were still in the car.
Nicky glanced at Ryan, “I guessed you’ve met our guest, Ryan.” They hugged like they were best friends.
“I haven’t seen you since we were like three.” Ryan said.
They broke up the hug, “This is my sister Jamie and one of my best fighters, Ellis.” Nicky said, all of a sudden his mood changed, he started sniffing.
“What is that delicious smell?” he asked us, pushing us away.
Jamie and I just looked at each other.
His eyes sparkled at the smell, I couldn’t smell anything. A girl came through the door, sniffing. She had dark black hair, piercing blue eyes and very pretty. As the girl saw Nicky, and Nicky saw her, “Mate.” They growled.
“Nick, you must meet my sister Kara…” Ryan said patting his back, “But if you hurt her, I will find you and I will kill you.”
Then Jamie and I started singing, “Nicky and Kara sitting in a tree, K-I-S-S-I-N-G…”
Nicky growled at us, “How mature guys.”
