Chapter 69
While the men all gather at the dining room table, Alex included, Lily takes my hand and guides me outside. “They can fill you in later,” she says with a smile. “You have more important things to
learn right now.”
We go outside and sit on the stairs of the porch. Neither of us say anything for some time, when I finally decide to break the uncomfortable silence between us. “Can I ask you something? You may
not even know the answer,” I ask, dying from curiosity.
“Of course,” she says with a nod.
“How is it that most Royals and Alphas have such difficult pregnancies, but that’s not an issue out
here?” I ask her, completely confused.
She laughs a little. “You can thank Benjamin’s first wife for that,” she says with a smile. She came from a line of herbalists, and they had a few tricks. Don’t worry. When the time comes, have the
information for you, if you want it.”
“Really?!” I ask, looking at her, as she smiles and nods. “Thank you”.
“You’re thinking of kids, already?” she asks.
I nod and smile. “Yeah. Most wolves meet their mates younger than we are.”
“That’s wonderful, Molly,” she says. “You should know though, pregnancy can make your magic
become unstable.”
I look at her, a fearful expression on my face. “It’s not exactly what I’d refer to as stable now.”
“What happened?” she asks, taking my hand in hers and looking at me intently. It’s a little
intimidating, to be honest.
“Seth and I were hiking when he smelled Stevie. I was trying to mind link Albert to get more help
because we couldn’t see Stevie at first.” I begin to tell her, her eyes never leaving me. “You can’t link since you’re not a wolf, can you?”
Lily shakes her head at me and I realize I need to explain in more detail. “I’ve just really learned. I was only able to link my dad when I was younger, and then my brother when he became Alpha,” I tell her and realize I said my dad and brother. To her credit, her face doesn’t indicate that it upset her, so I continue to tell her about what happened. “I have each person in something like a mental box, and I can open or close it as I need to reach them. I was trying to find Albert in my mind, but a tree kept appearing, blocking me. I couldn’t see around the tree, no matter how hard I tried.”
“The tree in your mind, correct?” she interrupts to ask me, trying to understand.
