Wolf Bond

After making sure every pack member, along with all the other she-wolves are inside the underground safe houses, I went to my own safe room.

Donovon’s pack has different safe houses, so if there is a breach then enemies will not be able to capture all the pack members and most of the pack members can safely escape.

Jenna is with me inside the room while Gavin and Luca are guarding the room, from outside.

I don’t know what is going on out there as Donovon has blocked our bond, only low humming sensation from our bond is keeping me insane.

“Ivory, please rest for a little while, stress is not good for you or the baby.” Jenna places a comforting hand on my shoulder as she stands in front of me.

“I can’t rest, Jenna.” I sigh and rub my bump trying to comfort myself by the feeling of my pup, “It has been four hours since they have gone and until now there is no news.”

“No news is good news.” Jenna squeezes my shoulder trying to ease my worry.

I look at her and realize even her mate is out there fighting, and here she is trying to comfort me and being so strong. Why can’t I be like her?

“I am sorry, Jenna.” I place my hand on hers, “Even your mate is out there and here you are being so strong while I am a mess.”

There is a sinking feeling inside my heart like something is bad about to happen, and no matter what I do I can’t shake that feeling.

“You are not a mess, Ivory, you are a Luna and the feelings of other pack members are projecting on you.” She smiles, “The feeling of worry and anxiousness is not just yours, you are sensing every pack member’s feelings.”

“It is not just that, Jenna.” I swallow trying to push back my fears, “Something doesn’t feel right, I don’t know what it is, but I can feel it.”

“Nothing bad is going to happen, I am sure soon Donovon and the rest of the pack members will return safely to the pack.” She gives me a reassuring smile.

I wince when Ella kicks against my ribs.

“That kick was a strong one.” I rub my side while breathing out slowly.

“Ivory, please, lie down for a bit.” Jenna ushers me to the single bed, “You are putting yourself under too much stress both mentally and physically.”

“Your stress is even making my wolf anxious, so it must be affecting Fire too.” She glances at me worriedly, “You have to stay calm, otherwise, she will try to overtake and we can’t let that happen.”

My eyes widen as I feel Fire stirring in the back of my mind feeling agitated sensing my distress.

Our wolf’s primary instinct is to protect us, their human. And if they feel our pain or any kind of threat against us, they attempt to take over to protect us. As our wolf side is stronger than our human side.

However, when any she-wolf gives birth only at that time her wolf never overtakes her, as even she is going through the same pain because during that time her human and animal side becomes one.

So, during pregnancy, it is important to keep our wolf calm as the shift can harm the pup in the final stages of the pregnancy as our bones and all the organs rearrange themselves whenever we shift.

Closing my eyes, I take deep breaths trying to keep myself calm while placing my hands on both sides of my bump as if I am holding Ella in my arms.

The thought of Ella never fails to calm my agitation, whenever I feel anxious I think about the moment when I will cradle her against my chest, and gradually my nerves calm down.

After a few moments, when I feel much relaxed than before, I open my eyes to find Jenna looking at me with a soft smile on her lips.

"When you were holding her, there was a serene look on your face, Ivory." She smiles, "You looked so peaceful and calm, even I could feel the calming vibes radiating off from your body."

"She calms me." I smile and wrap my arms around my Ella, "She is my peace in this chaotic world."

I look around in the darkness trying to figure where I am. Stretching my arms in front of me I try to feel my surrounding. After a moment I realize I am trapped in some room with no door or windows as I am only surrounded by cold walls.

I don't even know how I came here, I just felt like someone pulling me here.

A slight feeling of relief washes over me when I can sense Fire in my mind. I feel grateful for her presence as I don't feel as alone as I was feeling a moment ago.

"Cherry."

"Cherry."

I hear a very faint voice of Wolfie like he is calling me from somewhere very far.

"Wolfie." I call him, as I vaguely look around, "Where are you?"

"I don't know..." His voice comes even fainter than before. "I am trapped somewhere... it is dark..." His voice growing faint with each word.

Panic starts to rise inside me.

"Wolfie, try to follow my voice and come to me." I shout, "Follow my voice!"

But this time no response comes from him.

"Wolfie!" I scream, "Wolfie!"

Slowly rage starts to rise inside me replacing my earlier panic as I can feel someone is trying to cage us here. Closing my eyes, I try to find the presence inside the room which is trying to block my connection with Wolfie.

Strangely, I don't feel scared and somewhere I know whoever it is, can't harm me or my child. But this doesn't lessen my anger as Fire is demanding their blood and even my thoughts are the same as her because they are trying to keep me from reaching to my Wolfie.

I feel someone calling my name and after a moment or two, my eyes open pulling me back from the dream which felt nothing like a dream because what I have experienced felt real. The feeling of void which I am feeling inside me confirms it was not a dream.

"There are coming back!" Jenna smiles while relief evident in her tone.

However, I can't share her relief as I know something bad has happened because I no longer feel my connection with Donovon.
