Calla POV

Bryn and I stared intently at the plan for what seemed to be an eternity. Finally the results appeared. I looked at the results and I realized my worst fears had come true. Byrn and I extanged looks of horror and shock at the same time.

"Oh Byrn. What am I going to tell Ren?" I let small tears escape my eyes. This plan was full proof. There's no way that this could be wrong.

"Calla. Relax. We don't have to tell Ren right away. It can wait until you're comfortable with talking about it. Just don't wait too long. otherwise, trust issues might develop. Know what i'm saying?" I looked at her and knew that she was right. But would I ever find the right time to tell him? All of a sudden there was a knock at the door.

"Calla? Are you in there?" Ren's voice came out from behind the locked door. The door knob jiggled like he was trying to open it.

"Yeah. Bryn and I are in here having a private disscussion, so we'll be right out in a few minutes. Ok? I tried not to sniffle because he might break down the door to get to me and see whats wrong.

"Thats fine. I'll see you down stairs, Lily." I felt a shiver run through my body at my pet name. Its like I found my name a special term of endearment. It really hurts deep down to know that I can't tell him my deepest secret. Just how long can I keep this from him?

"Look at me, Bryn." I sniffled a little " I'm suppost to be a fearless, strong leader, but I can't even tell my own pack or my mate the truth. Whats happening to me?" I buried my face in my hands to hide the shame of what I'm becoming.

I felt Bryn's hand rub the back of my shoulders in a best friend comforting way. I felt better, but I just couldn't wrap my head around the fact that I can't even fill my own promises as an Alpha. "Cal, Its going to be okay. I promise you that. I'll be by your side as long as we're a pack. For better or for worse; I got your back." I smiled at her. She really was the best friend I've ever had. I lifted my head and gave her a hug that expressed my thanks to her.

"Come on. Lets get you cleaned up so that you don't look like you've been snotting yourself to death." She gave me her hand and helped me up. I looked in the mirror and BOY! was she right. I look terrible. I blew my nose and washed my face, applied a little make-up and fixed my hair. Well, at least I looked like my self again. Only thing I couldn't fix was my red eyes. I turned and looked at her and she gave a small nodd of approval.

We left the bathroom and headed downstairs to find that everyone was outside on the patio by the gardens; just chatting amongst themselves. I had came down just in time to, because the new pack and just arrived at the door.

Opening the door, Bryn and I were being stared at by 12 pairs of eyes 2 pairs, I assume are Alphas. "Alex, nice to see you again. Please come in." we step aside to allow them entrance to our home.

"Thank you, Calla. You have a very lovely home. This is my mate, Shaylene." He gestures to the dark-haired girl standing next to him. She was very beautiful. Long brunette hair and amber eyes that told a haunting story. Her story. She wasn't born a guardian. She was changed. But she was just about the same as the rest of us.

"Nice to meet you, Calla."she extended her hand in friendly greeting.

"Like wise."I took her hand and gently shook it. "We will be meeting outside in the gardens for drinks. Its right through those double doors to the left of the table." They all nodded and gave friendly smiles to Bryn and I. They all went outside, except for Shaylene. She lingered behind in the kitchen. Running her hand along the smooth marble counter, she gave me this look of cold hard ice. Her eyes were amber, but they could have been mistaken for ice.

"I saw the way, Alex was looking at you. What happened the night he came to the club and met you?" her voice was like stone, but I could hear the fire behind it. \

"What do you mean "What happened?" we sat in a room with my mate and the Keepers and had a chat about how you guys would be staying in town for a while." I was shocked that she was all of a sudden mad about something that she didn't even know.

"Bullshit!"she slammed her hand down on the counter. "Don't play with me. Tellme what happened." she was pissed now. I could see the fire burning brighter and brighter.

"I just told you what happened so calm down." I was getting a little mad too. How dare she accuse me of flirting with her mate.

"If you are mated where are your marks?" My marks. She wanted to see the marks that made me a mated Alpha. "Fine. Come with me." I took her to the bathroom and shut the door for privacy. I pulled off my shirt and revealed the exotic markings that Ren had left on me and the ones that had developed later. "Satified?"

"Fine. I'm sorry. I guess I was just a little jealous that he looked at another woman. I am a very jealous person. I really am sorry about that huge ordeal I just made back there." She seemed apologetic. But looks can be decieving. It could just be an illusion to cover her real self. I put on my best acting performance of my life.

"Its alright. I feel the same way about Ren. He is such an attractive person so it can't be helped. So now that this is behind us, shall we go and join the others in the garden?"

"That'd be great." she smiled and left the bathroom after unlocking the door.

She put up one hell of a front, but now I can she her for what she is. I wonder what else her packs' hiding? I followed her outside and found my pack chatting with the other pack in sheer amusement and joy. At least their getting along fine.

"Ren?" I called for him and in a heartbeat he was at my side.

"Yes, Lily?" he smirked and kissed my cheek while putting his arm around my waist.

"How about you help me grab the drinks and then we get this meeting started?" I caressed his hand with my own, lacing our fingers together.

"Sounds good. But i'd rather skip the meeting and have some fun in the bedroom with you." his comment brought up the feeling from earlier.

"I know you would, but we need to talk about something later. So just bear with me and wait." I began hoping that he didn't think I was rejecting him. But he just smiled and gave me that same smile I saw the night of the union. Kind and understanding; it was everything that I loved about him.

"Come on, beautiful. Lets go grab those drinks." he opened the door for me and led me inside to the kitchen.

We grabbed a silver platter from the cupboard and put several wine glasses on it along with a bottle of some red wine that we had from previous nights. It wasn't cheap, but it wasn't the really expensive stuff either. Ren carried the wine glasses and I held the bottles of wine. Opening the door for him, we set the glasses down on the table and waitied for everyone to quiet down before we filled glasses.

"Everyone please have a seat. Before we start this meeting. We should get introductions out of the way. My name is Calla and this is my mate, Renier. Also our second in commands Bryn and Dax" They both nodded to the other pack. "And the rest of the pack is Sabine, Fey, Cosette, Neville, Mason and Ansel." It was time for Alex to introduce his pack.

"I am Alex and this is my mate, Shaylene. Our second in commands are Raven and Gina. Along with Allison, Jack, Patch, Ciciline, Jason and Caroline." Heads nodded at each of their names. Each one of them was as beautiful or handsome as the next.

"Very nice to meet you all." I spoke for the rest of the pack that remain silent as stone. "Now that we have ranks and introductions out of the way, we shall start this meeting. So all of you will be staying in town, so there are a few things that need to be addressed. First and foremost, we do not make specticles of ourselves and only if nessecary may you shift into your forms. But there better be a damn good reason for it as well. Keeping our kind alive is important considering only how many of still exsist. Hunters have been seen around our town lately, so take caution in using your gifts."

"Calla's right."Ren finally spoke up. "We do not need attention drawn to ourselves. Be respected for kindness, not fear. Also, we train everyday so if you all are interested in seeing what we do, you're more than welcome to come and train with us in the mornings."

" Secondly, keep yourselves low key. Not many people in this town are used to seeing new faces around town; let alone a new pack of wolves. They might become suspicious of us and question us for different reasons. We already had an 'issue' with the humans earlier and that could have ended in bloodshed. We do not use violence for useless reason. Also do not go out and kill humans. The last time a new pack came to town, we had to leave because the pack was causing trouble for us. They went out on a spree of killings for fun and it made the headline news.

"She's right. But not only did they kill, they transformed humans into guardians for some bizarre reason. I'm not saying to not go out and have fun, but do not get to rowdy and show the animal inside." Eyes went wide with shock and heads nodded in understanding. Not many of us would like to be driven out of town by guns and other weapons.

The rest of the meeting was just all of us talking about our histories and getting to know eachother better. We just sat and drank wine while talking about the pointless topics that were so often ignored. Finally after sevreal hours, Alex and his pack left to go back to their temporary residence in town and the rest of our pack cleared out and headed back to their houses.

Now, it was time that I tell Ren what was happening to me. I found him waiting on the balcony of our bedroom, where he had given me my ring. He stared up at the moon. His face and body bathed in the soft glow of the full moon. I stepped out on the balcony with him and stared up at the moon, admiring the beautiful, mysterious glow it held.

"What is it you wanted to talk to me about, Lily?" his eyes found mine, just as his hand found mine.

"I'm not quite sure how to say this, so i'm just going to come out and say it." Can I really do this? How will he react?

"What is it? You can tell me anything and I will never think anything less of you. Remember when I told you that I loved you." I nodded "Well, I still do. Nothings going to change how I feel about you. Not now. Not ever."

"Ren, I'm pregnant." His eyes widened in what I depicted as shock.

A/N: So this is the end of my story, so I hope you all liked it and thanks for reading... JUST KIDDING! What kind of person would I be to leave you hanging? PSHHH. A terrible one, but thankfully i'm not. So WOW! She's gonna have a baby! YAYYY! So I will be back later with the new chapter that gives Ren's reaction to Calla being pregnant. As always Rate and Review and I shall see you all later my lovlies3!
