His Blue Moon Princess
His Sunshine Baby Chapter 66

"Will it take long?"

"Just a couple of tests, sweetie," says Abigail. "I just want to confirm since your blood pressure is a bit too low." "Sylviana said something as well. That Elena needed to be careful."

His mom sighs and sits in front of me.

"Elena, she's right. Once you've had a miscarriage, you're more likely to have another one. If you force too much, it will be hard for the baby as well. You have to take things easy from now on and get lots of rest, sweetie, okay? It is for your child's sake, sweetie." I nod.

I get it, keeping the baby safe. I'm not losing another child... Danny puts a hand on my knee, with a big smile.

"Don't worry, I'll keep you in check. I know how you tend to get yourself in trouble sometimes..."

I chuckle. I'm glad he's here to support me... as always. Abigail smiles.

"You better watch the future mom. Elena, no more fighting or shape-shifting from now on. You have to be twice as cautious, for your daughter's sake. She will do her best to grow, but mommy has to do the most of the job, all right? I will monitor you often, too. You need to come every two weeks."

"Every two weeks?" I ask, surprised.

"Yes, sweetie," she nods. "This is a high-risk pregnancy, Elena. So, every two weeks, and if you feel anything wrong, you call me right away, okay?"

Her question is for both Daniel and I, but now, I'm even more worried. Is it that bad? I feel fine, honestly, so fine I had no idea I was pregnant until yesterday. But Abigail is a known doctor of the Pack, and one of the few people aware of my previous miscarriage. I have to trust her.

"Who is the father?"

I turn to my cousin Iris, shocked by her question. Since when is she so blunt? Daniel clicks her tongue.

"Seriously, Iris? Why do you ask?"

"I don't know. I replace it strange that Daniel accompanied you here instead of Levi..."

"I wanted Daniel here, he's my best friend."

"You should start paying attention, Elena. This kind of lie won't get you anywhere."

What is wrong with her? She sounds almost jealous! I've never seen my cousin act like this. Daniel growls at her, annoyed by her sudden attitude, and she leaves the room, still visibly upset. I can't believe Iris just talked to me like that!

Even Abigail looks a bit taken aback. I turn to Danny.

You think she knows something...?

How could she?

I don't know, but her reaction...

Ignore her, babe. She probably was just in a bad mood for some reason.

Why do I feel like there's more to it? Abigail makes me go through some more tests, but I can't shake off that weird feeling I've had since Iris' words. She's right in a way, the list of my lies keep getting longer, and harder to hide...

A while later, I'm done with all of Abigail's tests. Her recommendation is still the same, and she gave me some diet restrictions or tips, along with a bunch of vitamins I'm apparently supposed to take daily. Back in the car, I check everything we got from the Pharmacy, completely lost. "Wait, so Iron once a day, the pink ones twice a day and..."

"Those two in the morning, two of each daily too, Babe," says Daniel. "Don't worry, I'll make you pretty sticky notes before you intoxicate yourself."

"Elena is probably the only woman who could get herself a vitamin overdose," laughs Levi.

"Hey, how about you concentrate on driving?" I reply back, a bit offended.

The brothers laugh, while I sigh and just throw everything back in the bag for Danny to handle. This is too much organization for me. I take out the envelope and look once more at my baby's picture. I can't believe she's so big already...

I tried to remember when I could have gotten pregnant, following Abigail's calculations. Probably that night at the Rain... Or at his flat later the same night. Damn, I kind of hope my daughter wasn't conceived in a nightclub bathroom! "So? When are you going to tell him?"

I sigh at Daniel's question. I know who he is talking about, of course, but still...

"I have no idea..."

"Elena, you should hide your pregnancy the longest possible," says Levi. "If Xavier knows, he will give you hell. And I'm not even talking about your ex."

"I know..."

I'm freaking out about Diego knowing. I can avoid my uncle and my pack's suspicions for a while, but if I don't shapeshift into my wolf form for weeks, or if my belly starts showing, it's going to be harder. It's a very small bump for now, but according to Abigail, I'm already almost on my second trimester... I'll hope the oversized sweaters will cover it for a while.

"Okay, so, for now, only four people know. Levi, Mom, Iris and I. Do you have anyone else you..."

"No, Danny. The fewer the better," I sigh. "For now, I want to make sure I... WOW! Levi, what the hell??!"

"Sorry, some a*s wolf just..."

But we all shut up as three other wolves suddenly run in front of the car, headed north, and I recognized at least two of them. What the heck is going on?

Levi parks quickly and we exit the car, kind of lost about what is going on. We are almost back into the Opale Moon territory, but so many wolves are running past us and headed north. I immediately mind-link my uncle. Xavier, what the hell? I just saw...

VAMPIRES! VAMPIRES ATTACK ON THE NORTH!

I exchange a horrified look with Danny and Levi. They probably know, too. s**t, a vampire attack! Why now, of all times? We start following everyone's direction, Levi shape-shifting immediately and running in the front. Elena!

I stop walking, surprised to hear Nora's voice. Looks like someone has improved her mind-linking skill already. How did she get good enough so fast? She's probably miles away! Nora? Where are you?

On the sea with Damian. What's going on? There's too much agitation at...

North End, I know! I'm headed there now, we're under attack!

Rogues?

No, damn Vampires!

She cuts the mind-link, and I want to resume walking, even running to follow my pack, but before I can do another step, Daniel holds me back.

"Elena, hell no!"

"But, Danny, the..."

"Are you kidding me? Mom told you not two hours ago! No f*****g way, girl, back off!"

I bite my lip, but s**t, Daniel is right, I can't go...

Elena, where the f**k are you! There are dozens of them! Get here, now!

My uncle's voice keeps yelling in my head, along with many others. I can sense the attack going on a few paces away, all of my peers fighting hard to protect our territory.

"Come on, Elena, let's go!"

Daniel pushes me to the west, and we abandon the car to start running in the streets, not so fast but still at a good pace. s**t, shit.... Moon Goddess, why now! We cross path with dozens of people from our pack, headed North, and humans trying to flee the scene. It's like a movie scene, with people crowding the streets in panic. I have to stay close to Danny not to lose him, and I focus extra hard to keep track of what's going on.

Chris get the right side!

Here, three more!

Watch out for the daggers! Silver!

Orpheus, here!

Got this one!

Anyone seen Isa?

Look out! You okay man?

Help, jayce is hurt!

Someone catch this one!

I'm hearing so many wolves voices, I almost can't keep up with what's going on in front of me. I didn't realize Daniel's caught my hand until he suddenly pulls me on the side to avoid a collision with a gigantic brown wolf. "Wait, was that...?"

"Boyan's sister, yeah. The Blood Moon is there!"

Wasn't that a male though? Damn, I can't...

"Yeah, the Sea Moon too!"

Elena! Come here you traitor!

My uncle's voice is like a knife piercing my head. I try to shut it down as he keeps calling me, yelling my name. My eyes tear up. It's so frustrating! I can't reply back, I can't do anything but follow Daniel across the havoc.

But the fight is catching upon us. I can feel my pack's voices coming closer, people yelling to watch out for the west.

"The Sea Moon wolves are here!"

I see them, running from the waterfront towards us, ready to attack. Not because of those wolves, but because I realize we are going to be caught in the battle whether we want to or not. Daniel's probably realized this too, as he keeps looking at all directions with panicked eyes.

"Babe, we really gotta go..."

"Nora's at the waterfront too."

"Nora...? Okay, better go this way then," he says, pulling me to the West.

We try to follow that direction, where I can hear Nora's wolf, but as we feared, it only takes a couple of minutes until a vampire suddenly runs our way. I jump in front of Danny, and sends that damn blood-sucker away with a high kick in his face. "Elena!" Screeches Daniel.

I know, I know.... But I can't just do nothing! What's the point of not fighting if I get killed so stupidly anyway?

Actually, Danny stops protesting soon enough, because there is no other choice. Right after the first one, more vampires rush our way, obviously ready to attack. My wolf is ready to fight, but she also knows our baby comes first. I grab an iron pole to defend myself, but even in my human form, I'm actually a good fighter enough to keep them at bay. Vampires are fast, but werewolves are vampire killers to begin with. And I'm a damn good warrior, too. Using my fists, feet, and pole, I send them to the ground or flying one after the other.

Elena!

This time, it's my cousin Chris. I feel relieved to hear his voice among the others.

Are you okay?

They just keep coming! Hundreds of them!

I know, they are already on the harbor! I'm... In the middle of the Sea Moon pack, I think.

I can't even recognize anyone but Danny. I was so focused on defending myself, I didn't realize so many wolves and vampires had gathered around us, in a raging battle. I keep fighting and mind-linking my cousin, worried for everyone.

O... Okay! We got two... No, three other packs helping us here, I think. But seriously, Elena, their number...

I know.

It's the biggest vampire attack I've ever seen. No matter how many I fight, it just doesn't stop, they keep coming at us in numbers. Where the hell do they come from? Vampire clans are never so big in the first place!

Next to me, Daniel is at his wit's end, too. My best friend tried not to shapeshift for the longest, but Danny is not a fighter like me, or an Alpha. He's getting tired and can barely keep up with his surroundings. "Danny, shapeshift before you get killed, you i***t!" I insist.

"I'm... not... leaving you alone!" He yells, out of breath.

That i***t! I'm about to yell at him again, but a sudden new attack keeps the words stuck into my mouth. I don't know if they understood I'm the strongest in that area, but several vampires suddenly aim at mine, fangs ready to bite and daggers in the air. "ELENA!"

But before I get in position, a gigantic wolf suddenly flies over me and takes out two of them in a flash. "Boyan!"

The huge brown wolf keeps fighting close to Daniel, and I suddenly realize what a death machine his size is capable of. It's like sending a tiger in a battle. Boyan's got the size of a bear, but he's much more agile and faster than he seems. I'm starting to get why he's usually Nora's bodyguard.

"Blondie?"

This time, it's Tonia, his sister, looking at me in surprise. She doesn't stop, though, and keeps running towards the harbor, probably headed to Nora's direction. But to my surprise, when her younger brother is about to follow, Daniel suddenly grabs his fur and holds him back, whispering something to his ear.

What the...?

I want to ask why the hell he is exchanging secrets with his lover in the middle of the fight when a new bunch of wolves suddenly appear in a distance. Opposite to the harbor we have been pushed to, they are running in the streets, among the buildings, headed south.

"Was that the Rising Moon pack?" Asks Danny

"Yeah, and the Gold Moon too!"

If they are headed south, it means the attack is even bigger than we thought! I hear some distress wolf's yelps around us. The Sea Moon Wolves are losing ground with us. I try to reach out to my peers from the White Moon and Opale Moon to check the situation in the North, but before I can decide on someone, Nora's voice resonates clearly in my head again.

Elena, are you there yet?

On my way. But my friends told me there's a lot of them. Really a lot.

Is your pack ok?

Moon Goddess, if only. I wish I could be with them! Right when I'm about to answer that, five or six new wolves join us. This time, I recognize them. They were at the Jade Moon's turf, on Nate's side, the first time I saw Nora.

For now. Our head Clan the White Moon is there too, and some of the Sea Moon pack warriors joined as well. But those damn vampires just keep coming.

The Blood Moon is on their way.

I figured so. Nate's guys just arrived too.

What about the other clans?

They have to watch out for the other sides of the City, this might be a massive attack. I just saw some guys from the Gold Moon and Rising Moon packs heading south.

I'm starting to think Nora might get seriously good at this mind-linking thing, I feel like she's right next to me, talking to me! I have to focus though, the battle is raging around me. Boyan and Daniel are both staying close to me, our trio fending off the vampires the best we can, trying to keep your position.

Damn, they just keep coming. I don't even understand why they keep trying to go west as if they were aiming somewhere specific. We are just at the beginning of the harbor, but more and more keep coming. At this rhythm...

Suddenly, I hear screams from the Vampires. Many wolves turn heads the same way too. I can feel it before we can see him.

Holy f**k, is that...

Yeah... the King.

The huge, ferocious black wolf appears suddenly, his Alpha aura oppressing everyone like a dark hurricane. Many wolves completely forgot about fighting for a second just to get out of his way. He storms through the battle, killing the vampires within his reach one after another in front of our eyes. He tears them apart like freaking puppets, their limbs flying all ways. It's a horror scene.

Thank Moon Goddess that monster is on our side...
