Zora’s POV
“You need to prepare for yourself, Zora. The Northern Alphas are infamous for being very stubborn. Besides, most of them are very proud men,” Nellie jokingly warned me, which made all of us chuckle.
“The east isn’t that different compared to the north,” I responded to Nellie while Eloise chose this moment to comically imitate Cruz.
“Well, you’re a woman. What do you know about these issues? Leave these to the men to take care of them,” Eloise said, making us laugh again.
“I can see how well they took care of the problems the moment the Northern warriors called for war against us. They would just shove us in the Northern faces because they were afraid of these Northern men,” the woman said again bluntly as it was exactly what happened to her.
While Eloise, Kara, and mine packs had managed to kick the Northern warriors from our regions by making alliances in the south to go against the north. Nevertheless, our former husbands refused to listen to our advice about the idea of alliance. Only then us she–wolves were given to the north as peace offerings, except myself. Even though the former Lunas of our pack didn’t commit the crime, we eventually had to pay for it.
“You won’t be involved in much trouble thanks to Darius. My

son loves you very much,” Nellie made a remark that made me smile.
“Anyway, how are things going with Raphael?” she asked
Eloise, making my friend look away because she knew that it was her fault for bringing that up.
“Well, the women in the harem were talking about both you and the Gamma. That’s why I know about your relationship with him,” Nellie explained to my friend as Darius‘ mother kept smiling.
“Both Marcel and Raphael come from influential families. Their fathers used to be in their current positions, so did their fathers before them and so on. The rules that’s applied to Darius are also applied to them too. While they haven’t quarreled or fought anyone about the idea of marrying Kara and Eloise, they’re also going against the tradition too. Their families aren’t that excited about the idea. But it’s truly not important as long as those young men are pleased,” Nellie commented as she sighed softly.
“Goodness, why am I telling you this?” she then asked before she let out a slight smile as if she could guess what Eloise, Kara, and I were thinking.
“It’s because I’ve never seen men as devoted to their women
as these men are to the three of you. The ones that came before them were all just assholes. They were so bad to us she–wolves that we, their mates, agreed to their harsh treatment being rules here. The former top–ranking wolves were involved in any kind of orgies and torture. We didn’t dare to speak or complain. Our tasks as their wives were already clearly explained, so we were forced to stay only within those barriers. Otherwise, we would be in a huge problem. When I

saw Darius by your side, Zora, I couldn’t help but wish that Collier loved me the way Darius loved you. Yet, the truth isn’t like that. At the end of the day, I was merely a tool for him. That’s why I’m telling you this, Eloise. Don’t ever throw away a good thing. While I do know what happened to the three of you in the east, I can testify that my son and his friends are adequate men for you. They’re not jerks. They respected us she–wolves. Indeed, they were heartbroken in the past. But it’s a happy thing to see them try to find love again. So, don’t force Raphael to pay for what he doesn’t do. The only crime he does is loving you. He wants to erase the pain you have, Eloise. I can see it in his eyes. I can see how he looks and treats you. Recently, his mother had been pestering me about you. I only had good things to say about you which is true. I beg of you, please, move on from your past. Let yourself look into the future,” Nellie lengthily talked as she caressed Eloise’s hands gently.
“I do know that you’re not drinking, but do your best to try to drink alcohol for tomorrow night,” Darius‘ mother said as she smiled widely this time.
The middle–aged woman then rubbed Eloise’s palm as she kept her smile.
“Besides, it won’t be good for the baby too,” she continued, prompting all of us to gasp at what she just said. Immediately, I took a look at Eloise. That was when I noticed that she seemed to be shocked by this revelation as well.
“Well, Tused to work as a midwife. There are early signs of pregnancy in you from your pigmentation, mood changes, extra sensitivity to any smell, and consistent tiredness. If you don’t trust me, you can test it yourself,” she calmly said, but I still found it hard to believe that Nellie was able to say it only

from seeing it..
I couldn’t help but feel a bit jealous because I wished it was me who got pregnant. Eloise was such a baby magnet.
“I do have some pregnancy test strips that you can use if you want to test yourself,” Kara told Eloise.
“I bought them because both Marcel and I are trying,” Kara truthfully confessed.
After that, Nellie turned her attention to me as she looked at me. “What about you and Darius?” Nellie asked me, causing me to smile.
“I’m very jealous of Eloise right now. It’s because both Darius and I are also looking forward to this happening to us,” I eventually told her my feelings.
This time, Nellie smiled softly.
“Yeah, me too. I’m also looking forward to it. It’ll be lovely to have mini Hands running around this whole place. After all, children always find a way to make home much livelier.”
“Do you all mind staying there when I test myself out?” Eloise asked.
From her voice, she sounded a bit nervous. All of us were fine with it. If Nellie wasn’t being an overprotective mother, she clearly would make a great friend for me. While Eloise used the toilet, the three of us were waiting in Kara’s room. Not long after, Eloise came out of the bathroom with tears streaming down from her eyes.
Initially, I thought that the result was negative. However, I

quickly realized that her tears were tears of joy. Eloise was indeed pregnant. I almost couldn’t believe that. Somehow, everything that was taken from her was now being restored to her again. At least, her baby now would have a good father instead of some cowardly warrior who couldn’t even fight to keep the woman whom he declared to love.
All of us congratulated Eloise. After that, both Nellie and I went back to the Alpha’s wing. Throughout the way, I felt a bit deflated. I couldn’t help but be scared that there might be something wrong with me. However, I just kept it to myself for
now.
