Four days later...

"Come on, Thierry! Move faster!" I heard Electrique bellow through the megaphone as she rode on the tailgate of one of her hunter ally's truck, smiling widely as I was running in my wolf form as the adrenaline rush flowed through my veins.

Since the night that I was formally mated to Matt and Luciane, I was officially embracing the supernatural world as a werewolf/vampire hybrid (I had also unlocked my vampire side, who was also Kristoff) and becoming stronger thanks to the combat training. The morning after I was claimed, I had opened my eyes to discover that my body was more athletic and domineering, frowning in dismay as my clothes from last night couldn't fit (while my Alphas chuckled to their amusement before Matt allowed me to wear some of his clothes). And when the witches saw my new form, they were gagged beyond belief before rushing me to the nearest shopping center to find some new clothes and take me to the nearest salon to become more attractive to my mates (surprisingly, it worked to my advantage since neither of my mates could leave me out of their sight and would stay by my side whenever another visiting Alpha came to visit). 

Of course, it also meant that it was time to amplify my combat training and physical regime since I was now a hybrid and the direct descendant of Druscilla (who insisted that I call Her by Her name or use "Mom" since I was Her son and all that). Not only that, the number of abused loners and exiled omegas were rising and my sisters were now in alliance with the ferals and the rebel hunters. With the blessings of my mates as well as my in-laws-to-be, Ariana and the witches gathered some of the toughest hunters that obeyed the code as well as some warrior shifters to make sure that I was at the top of my game. And much to my surprise, I was a faster learner than I was before my transformation and mating.

And you already know that I made sure that I stayed on top of my homework and tests when it came to my grades, not to mention learning more about all the supernatural communities and ancestral lineages from all over the world.

In short, I had to make sure that I left nothing to chance when it came down to the incoming war. And I was not going to waste another second of time.

And now, here I was in my wolf form finishing off another run in the deepest part of the woods, a few other shifters passing me by as I was reaching the final stretch of the run with Electrique and her crew cheering me on.

"You can do it, Thierry!" the transgender mage cheered as I caught sight of my mates waiting for me alongside Ariana and Landon at the edge of a nearby clearing. "Just a few hundred yards left!"

Don't strain yourself, Kristoff reminded me as we continued to thunder down the grassy running trails of the forest. Keep at an easy pace, yet remember to not slack off.

Thanks, Kristoff, I replied in my head as I finally skidded to a stop in front of Matt, taking a moment to shift back to my human form (grateful that I was still fully clothed since shifters could transform without stripping out of their clothes). "What a run," I breathed as I accepted a bottle of water from Landon.

"I'll say," replied Matt, giving me a small pat on my back. "You're doing fine with your running speeds, love."

"But you're still trying to overexert your body," Electrique pointed out, giving me a knowing stare. "Maybe it's because you think that you need to keep your body in tune or you just want to make sure that you're not slacking off, but remember to pace yourself and-"

She was interrupted as I suddenly raced past her and began vomiting the large lunch that Andretta made for me alongside the last of the breakfast from this morning.

"What the hell?!" Luciane said, racing to my side as I kept myself steady. "Thierry, are you feeling okay?"

"I-I think s-so," I stammered, my stomach churning. "It's probably just something wrong with my stomach since I ate a bit too much."

Ariana frowned, her eyebrows furrowing deeper. "How long has this been going on?" she wanted to know.

I took a deep breath, accepting my bottle of water to cleanse my mouth of the bitter taste. "I think it started yesterday morning," I answered. "I also had some strange cravings lately- roasted peanuts covered in caramels, strawberries and balsamic vinegar, apple pie topped with cheese. Not to mention a migraine or two."

"Shit!" Landon hissed, his eyes widening in shock as he looked around.

"What? What's going on?" I asked confusedly. "Why is everyone so worried about me all of a sudden?"

"I don't know about y'all, but I think it's time for Thierry to see a doctor," commented Mr. Rosseaux-Yanez, giving me a look full of concern. "And we need to get him to the hospital right now."

"I'm calling up Aquilla and Sagittarina," Electrique commented, pulling out her cell phone and dialing away as two hunters helped Luciane help me to my feet.

"Thierry," Matt breathed as he joined me at my right. "Whatever happens, just remain calm and know that Luciane and I are by your side no matter what happens."

I only nodded, looking down at my belly as I was led into Ariana's car while two police cars joined us, Matt's mother instructing the two officers as my mentor got into the driver's seat. "It'll be okay," she told me gently before gunning the motor. "Thierry, just relax and don't be alarmed. Because if the symptoms mean what I think it is, then things are going to be more...well, you're going to need all the support you can get."

My eyes went wide at the realization as the procession began to leave the forest grounds before making the way out into downtown en route to the hospital. Oh, shit.

*********************

"Congratulations, Luna Lemieux. You're pregnant with twin Alpha boys.

Pregnant.

Eight letters. One word.

"Thierry, are you okay?"

I snapped out of my thoughts to look into the eyes of both Crystal and Kylie, both of them by my side as we were in the large doctor's office after learning of my current condition. "Huh?" I asked dazedly.

"Wow, your mind is really on overload," Kylie muttered, taking a chair and sitting right in front of me. "All right, Luna Lemieux. Spill the tea. Your mind is cluttered with all that's been going on with the incoming war and the drop of you being pregnant. Time to spill the tea and be real with us."

Crystal nodded, eyes lighting up. "It's no secret that you're worried about what might happen when Matt and Sir Moranox find out about you're carrying their pups," she piped up. "And with your sisters knowing your status as a moon wolf, you're wondering if anyone's going to be safe anymore."

"That is the understatement of the year," I breathed, already deciding to come out and speak my mind. "I mean, I'm not worried about being pregnant and all that. I'm just thinking about this war and if I'll be alive to even give birth to my children- or pups or whatever. And what about Matt and Luciane? Would they even be accepting of me carrying pups or would they-"

"If you think that either of your mates will reject you on sight, especially after they promised to keep you protected and made their vows be bound under the witness of your Grandmother Druscilla, then you ought to know by now that no one would allow them to break their promise," Kylie pointed out. "You should remember by now that a vow made under the witness of Druscilla is not to be taken lightly and to renege it could spell disaster for the person who made it. And as for them rejecting you? Boy, no one in the pack or town would allow either of the guys to be Alphas if they betrayed you like that."

"You can say that again," Crystal agreed, nodding. "And as for Ms. Vivacious and those witches, you can bet that they'll lynch those two if they go bad on you. It'll be anarchy if they dared break your heart. And you already know that everyone in the pack considers you the true Luna under the laws of all the supernatural. Even the council members know of this, and they were surprised when they learned about you."

That was true because most of the supernatural council members were part of the new generation and were blown away when they learned that I was Druscilla's last surviving descendant. They made Matt and Luciane swear under various contracts (blood and written alike) to make sure that I was to remain the true Luna under the threat of death.

"Thank you," I breathed. "I guess it's because Tiana, Fianna, and Mi'Chelle are still out for my blood and want to eradicate me for good so they can become lifetime celebrities."

The girls frowned. "And I thought that we were rotten to the core with you before all of this," Kylie said, rolling her eyes. "So what are you going to do, Thierry?"

Before I could reply, the door swung open to reveal my two Alpha mates, both of them looking apprehensive and chastened. "We know that you're pregnant," Matt began as he and Luciane entered inside, allowing the ladies to leave quietly.

I nodded, motioning for them to sit down. "So, what do we do now?" I asked hesitantly.

"I don't know," Luciane replied softly. "But we can only prepare for what's to come, Thierry. No matter what happens, just know that you are destined for greater things."

I took in the looks of my mates, knowing that there was something on their minds. And if I knew better, I had a feeling that something was wrong and I was going to be the one to pay for it all.

Child, this is when the tea is about to be spilled! And folks, Thierry is facing something tragic before he gets his happy ending.

Up next, the Gruesome Threesome is scheming away! And folks, you might hate me for what happens next!

Dedication: autheras.
