CHAPTER 25
Emma glared at Celina and hit the table hard.
“If you think that’s the case then why not come up with a solution in two seconds” Emma dared.
“Let’s not fight over this. Celina, if you have an objection to Emma’s suggestions then come up with your idea before protesting others” Alpha Devon uttered.
“The Luna’s suggestions don’t sound like a bad idea either. Since we can’t rely completely on technology so we might as well keep guard in case of any uncertainties” Kent said and Celina furrowed her eyebrows as she looked at Kent.
“Kent how can you call that a good idea? Your idea sounds more realistic though because it’s something I can handle with ease” Celina said.
“Celina, you can’t get involved in this. You’re still with Kent on your request to the Mayor town and you can’t get involved in any other project till it’s settled” Devon reminded.
“But how’s the Luna supposed to stand against robbers? She has never gotten into a real fight before” Celina protested.
“Don’t worry about that. This is also a great opportunity for Emma to put your training into practice and her powers have been awakened, we’ve got nothing to worry much about” Devon said and Celina frowned.
“Wait a minute sir, since Luna is into modern technology isn’t it wise to send her to the Mayor of town alongside beta Kent? I think she stands in a better position to convince them” Celina suggested and everyone looked at Emma.
Emma notices the gazes on her so she cleared her throat.
“I don’t think it’s time for me to get involved in real political kinds of stuff. Handling the safe home suits me better” Emma uttered and suddenly her stomach hurts.
“Ahhh!” Emma winced holding her stomach.
“Emma, what’s wrong?” Alpha Devon asked curiously.
“It hurts so much, I can’t help it” Emma winced as she bite her lower lips in pain.
“Kent call in for the healer” Devon ordered and Kent placed a call across to the healer.
“Emma let me take you to your room. Can you be able to walk?” Devon asked curiously as he stood up and ran to Emma.
Emma tried to stand up but it felt like the pain stung even more.
“Oh no, this isn’t good” Devon exclaimed and he bent over to carry Emma and Celina stood up in a hurry.
“Sire, don’t worry about it, I will escort Luna to her room,” Celina said as she walked to Emma.
“I can’t let you do that when I’m here. I can handle this” Devon uttered and before Celina could utter another word he carried her in his arms already in a bridal style.
“Ahhh!” Emma winced as she shot her eyes.
“Kent where’s the healer?” Devon asked anxiously.
“She’s on her way here” Kent informed.
Alpha Devon carried Emma to the room and immediately the healer arrived.
“What’s wrong with the Luna? Is it something serious?” Devon asked curiously and the healer stood up from her seat.
“I think milady took in something new to her system and it’s showing some effects but she will be fine if she rests for a while and again,” The healer said and paused.
Everyone looked at her anxiously.
“Congratulations milady. You’re pregnant” The healer announced and everyone’s expression went blank.
“The Luna is what?” Celina asked curiously.
“The Luna is pregnant. She’s six weeks pregnant” The healer announced again and Emma’s jaw dropped in shock.
“What!” Emma gasped in a low tone.
What will happen to my plans of conquering alpha, Devon? What the hell did this have to happen now of all time? Emma questioned in her head frustratedly.
Alpha Devon wore a half smile after putting little thoughts on it.
“You will be back here tomorrow right?” Devon asked.
“Yes sire, we need to get daily medications for the Luna henceforth,” The healer said and Celina walked out of the room as she hide her tears.
“Where’re her manners? She couldn’t even congratulate me” Alpha Devon said coldly.
“Congratulations sire,” Kent said and then ran after Celina.
“Celina, hold up for a minute” Kent uttered and Celina stopped walking.
Celina sniffed.
Kent walked to her and turned her around angrily.
“I told you not to fall for the Alpha. How silly of you to think of him in that way? You know how professional the alpha can be when it comes to you” Kent said seriously.
“If you came out to say all that then I don’t think I should be standing here either. I will rather take my leave” Celina muttered holding back her tears.
“I hope this news shows you, your place in the alpha’s life. Don’t take things seriously, let go of the past and serve Luna sincerely” Kent advised and Celina scoffed.
“Did you just say let go? You think it’s that easy to let go. Do you have any idea how long I’ve been waiting to be with the alpha? I’ve been patient and diligent in everything I do but he didn’t notice me even once. Emma being pregnant doesn’t change anything and I’m not giving up that easily so if you can’t stand my guts then stay out of my business” Celina said seriously and walked away.
Kent sucked his teeth sharply and shook his head before heading back to Emma’s chambers.
He got to Emma’s room door and Devon was coming out.
“You don’t have to go in. Let’s head to my chambers instead. Emma needs to rest right now” Alpha Devon said calmly and they left for his chambers.
“Oh no, I can’t believe this. This isn’t just a piece of good news, it’s great news” Alpha Devon said excitedly and Kent sat down as he watched the Alpha walk around excitedly.
“Are you that happy? Did you know she would be getting pregnant anytime soon?” Kent asked.
“Of course, I knew. This is the only way, I can hold her back from going to someone else. I’m sick and tired of rivals like Grayson showing up and disrupting things for me and I need an heir as well for me to be able to approve Emma’s importance of being the Luna” Devon said with a blank expression.
“Are you planning on doing something dangerous soon? Isn’t it a bit early for Luna to be pregnant? If she’s pregnant she can’t be able to use her powers or transform” Kent reminded and Devon looked away.
“We can’t help it. It’s something I’ve been expecting and since it’s here already, we just have to compromise till she put to bed” Alpha Devon uttered and then sat down.
“What about the issues in the safe home? You handled the situation into her hands and now what?”
“Celina will just have to take over from here. I can’t endanger the life of my heir and Emma. The robbers seems to be quite dangerous, I would have loved it if you handled the issue yourself” Devon said seriously.
“Don’t worry about it. I will handle pretty fast, just let Celina rest up for some days. She doesn’t seem to be well” Kent uttered.
“She doesn’t seem to be well or she’s unhappy about Emma’s pregnancy” Alpha Devon said coldly and Kent looked at him.
“You noticed?” Kent asked.
“It was obviously written on her face, how can I not tell? I get it that Celina dislikes Emma but the situation is changed now. Emma is now part of grey pack since she’s carrying my heir. This gives her similar rights to me”
“That’s a bit too much. I don’t think you should give her that much right. We have no idea what she might do to it. She doesn’t look happy about the news either. She wore the same expression Celina had” Kent pouted out and Devon looked at him seriously.
“And that’s why she will be on 24/7 watch. She can’t do anything reckless or stupid. She’s meant to be here and she can’t stop that from happening” Alpha Devon said coldly.
“Do you think she still has the plans of rebelling soon?” Kent asked.
“I guess she is and she thinks I don’t know of it, it will be low of me if I can’t even tell that” Devon said bluntly.
Kent shook his head.
“So brave of you Devon. You sleep on the same bed with one who plans on taking your life”
“Just like I said to uncle. I’m not giving in until I avenge mother. I will fish out each and every accomplices involved” Alpha Devon said coldly as he clenched his fist.
“You told me to put a hold to the investigation, I guess elder Crick saw this coming and that’s why he advised you lie low. We can’t endanger the lives of your family” Kent said with a half smile.
“But your visit again to the Mayor town, you taking Emma with you, I think she stands a better chance of convincing them” Devon added.
“Isn’t that a bit risky? I don’t think other packs will be excited on hearing the news of her pregnancy and you expecting an heir” Kent muttered.
“And that’s why you’re with her. You will protect her with everything you have” Alpha Devon said seriously.

Days later at the silver lake pack.
Alpha Grayson was seating at the pack’s garden on his wheelchair.
“Do I have the right to even enjoy the view when everyone’s busy trying to put things back in place. I should have take wolfsbane potion instead” Grayson sighed and Max came to the garden and sat at the bench next to Grayson.
“Enjoying the view is the only thing I want you to do right now. All your life you’ve never gotten the opportunity to enjoy the view at this garden because you were always busy” Max said sadly.
“Did you come all the way here to comfort me or torture me because your words sounds like torture to me” Grayson uttered.
“I’ve got even greater torture news for you” Max uttered and Grayson looked at him.
“I’ve heard worse news so far so I don’t think this will make any difference”
“This will definitely make a difference” Max blurted.
“What is it time around?” Grayson shrugged.
“Emma is pregnant” Max announced and Grayson looked at him in shock.
“What did you just say?” Grayson asked breathlessly.
“I just heard the rumors this morning. I’m pretty sure other packs have probably heard of it as well. That bratty Alpha must be so happy now, he has Emma all to himself now” Max scoffed.
“Max can you take me back to my chambers now. I wish to rest a bit, I suddenly feel tired” Grayson said almost in a whisper.
“But you’re fine right?” Max asked curiously.
“I’m in the mood to talk so let’s just head to my room” Grayson said with a blank expression.
“If that’s what you want. Alright I will do just that” Max said and stood up.

Grey pack….
It’s night already.
Emma is in her chambers when a call came in her phone.
“Yes” Emma uttered on taking the call.
“I’m sorry princess for reaching out suddenly but we haven’t gotten any feedback from you. Did you succeed on your plans?” One of shadow pack’s chief asked.
“It’ll be tonight so you don’t have to worry much about it and wait for my feedback” Emma said confidently then hung up.
They haven’t heard yet about my pregnancy or they’re acting not to have heard. They’re really persistent. Is this for the better? Emma questioned in her head.
Alpha Devon came into her room.
“How are you feeling now?” He asked with a smile.
“I feel normal. You don’t have to keep showing up everyday, I don’t need to you to shower me with this kind of care. I can look after myself” Emma said coldly.
Alpha Devon walked to her and bent over.
“I can’t help it. I’m totally into you and my heir” Devon said with a smile and Emma’s heart skipped a beat for the first time.
