Linda, Avery and I had dinner in the office, and Avery seemed a bit ill.

I did not want to get her hopes up, but I felt it would be best to take a pregnancy test because she had been acting funny.

She had been very emotional, and her eating habits had changed. It might also be the hormones because I knew she was taking fertility meds.

Regardless, I thought it was best she checked herself, but I kept it to myself.

We finished what we needed to do in the office and returned to our bedrooms.

Sylvester was not in the bedroom when I returned, and I was too tired to look for him. So I showered and went to bed.

“I want to sleep,” I linked him.

“I will be with you shortly,” he replied, but I didn’t want him to feel pressured.

“Take your time,” I said and let it go. Slowly sleep came, and I fell into dreamland.

I woke up feeling energised and nervous the following morning.

We went to the arena early and sat in our primary booth.

I was surprised to learn that Kyle and Max won’t be playing rugby, so our men decided to pull out.

I hoped the two douchebags had given up and decided to move on.

I had yet to find out what happened, but I hoped Avery and Linda would tell me soon.

We were watching the ball game in our booth when three northern Alphas came to see Sylvester.

They looked distraught and worried; I did not need to guess why.

I fought the urge to smile and looked at Avery and Linda.

Linda looked away, and I knew she was going to giggle.

To hide, she buried her head in Theodore’s chest, making a romantic gesture so she could laugh, but we all knew why she was laughing. I felt like laughing, too, but I dared not pull the same stunt as Linda; she had beat me to it.

“Your Eminence, Sir Sidorov, Sir Orlov, Sir Volkov,” They said, greeting our men and Dominic. Then they went to greet us.

“Lady Volkov, Luna Volkov, Luna Sidorov, Luna Orlov,” they said, greeting us. I was referred to as Luna Volkov, while Stephanie was Lady Volkov, a position that would soon be mine.

“What is the matter, Alpha Christian?” Sylvester asked the alpha that seemed in charge.

“My Lord, we need help,” he said, sounding frantic.

“Yesterday, our mates and children were kidnapped, and we have traced them to the west.

My Isabelle is all I have. I am afraid they will hurt them. I do not know how powerful or broad their network is, but it is more extensive than what my pack warriors can handle.

The west is under you; please have them return our mates,” He said, and I realised we had hit the jackpot because they were so scared that they had forgotten they were working against Sylvester.

“Did you have any altercations with anyone?” Sylvester asked him, looking concerned, and the man could not answer.
