Alpha Loren novel Chapter 101

Six months later and things have only got better.

Leo is still sending Hestia and her goods groceries and toys, whilst also paying for childcare so she can still work the days her Husband used to take care of them.

The Junior institute is now empty of orphans after we set up an adoption scheme for and they are now all happily homed around the pack and being monitored by psychiatrists to check they are adjusting normally.

Since the building is now unused, I am currently lobbying for it to be transformed into a training facility for the pack women. Maria and Elena's secret training is in full-swing and has already done miracles in teaching young girls how to defend themselves. Just imagine what they could do with proper equipment and finances.

Getting Leo onboard is a work in progress. 

Relative to how I found him back in October, he is now a feminist Goddess. More women had taken up leadership roles in the pack, Maria was publically celebrated as a pack hero for taking Haden down in the war, the mates of the Megestanis all now by pack law had to be actively involved in their factions too and teaching his soldiers to respect and cherish women had become one of Leo's top priorities.

But by nature, he was still fiercely protective. He said that if he allowed women to fight, next they'd be fighting battles and getting hurt and that he wouldn't stand for women getting hurt.

So it is a work in progress but I know with enough persuasion, they'll be more self-defence training at the very least.

Meanwhile, Cato is growing up fast. With all sharp edges in the house padded and every staircase, gated, he has begun crawling like crazy. Fortunately, if you take your eye off him for a moment and he wanders off you can usually just follow the giggling and happy gargling to track the little rascal down.

Every day he looks more like Leo. His eyes are the same vibrant blue and as little tuffs of golden brown waves begin to grow, their resemblance only get stronger. I just can't wait to see his personality blossom too and watch him grow up into the great Alpha I'm sure he will one day become.

I hadn't heard much from Connor but I knew he was back living as a Rogue, drifting around the country, sometimes up into Canada. I know there is never going to be a part of my family in the Stella pack or an uncle to Cato but I'm certain I haven't seen the last of my brother. In years to come, tensions will ease and things will change. At the moment, Leo and I don't bring Connor up much. But with the news we may receive in three minutes, it could be time for that to change.

"Is it done yet?" Leo asked impatiently.

"It's been two minutes and it takes five, Leonardo," I replied looking at the timer on my phone.

We sat for another two and a half agonising minutes in the bathroom, a pregnancy test sat undisturbed on the side.

"That's it," he announced breaking the silence. "I can't wait anymore," he added picking up the test and hastily removing the cap.

"What does it say?" I asked anticipation devouring me.

"Positive," he replied, looking up at me, a huge grin on his face. 

I squealed and he caught me as I threw myself into his arms. 

"We're having another one!" I said kissing him with glee.

He kissed me head again and again as he swung me around,  "We sure are."

And here we go again...
