Enjoy this chapter?

There was once a girl

And that girl met a wolf

They found living as a pair

Was a life full of hope

These two happy lovebirds

This couple, this pair

Were snug in their warm bed

But they thought it was quite bare

So they cuddled up closer

Made room in their tree

And their joy overflowed

When two became three

-Adapted from Ally Pally Poems

"Luna, you shouldn't be worried about Master Milos, he will be fine," Petra reassures Wanda. The former had woken up a few hours ago only to discover that Milos and a few pack warriors have gone out of the Territory to lay in wait for some Rogue wolves who are trying to invade the territory. Milos got to know about this from the pack guards at the East Coast of the Territory, and he had risen at dawn to lay ambush and capture them as subtly as possible.

Wanda is pretty worried about the safety of her husband and the father of her child. As she voices out her fear and perturbation to Petra, she gently rubs her growing belly. On her last visit to the clinic, the clinician made her understand that her gestation period is coming to a close and that she will give birth any time from then. Milos has increased the security detail around her. He has also become extra protective of her, always making sure that she is alright. Wanda enjoys the pampering but is still apprehensive about all that the future has in store for her. Is she really going to bring forth a girl child?

Is she going to survive the process of childbirth? What if the pack rejects her and the baby?

Wanda snaps out of her thoughts at the sound of Mira's voice. Mira is one of the pack maids. She is in charge of the laundry and occasional outfits of every member of the house. Despite her miniature frame, she is in her mid-forties and has gathered enough experience in laundry matters. She has a commandeering voice that makes her subordinates get things done at the snap of her fingers. She is arriving from the Pack Laundry house when she sees Petra and Wanda in the garden. Petra is plaiting Wanda's hair into cornrows. The former had insisted, even though Wanda did not feel up to it. However, now that she is holding a mirror and can see what Petra is doing to her hair, she can't help but smile at how beautiful she looks.

"Hey there, how goes it?" Mira asks as she approaches the duo.

"We're good, Mia" Petra answers, and Wanda nods in agreement.

"Luna, are you okay? You are downright flustered. Is it the heat, or the baby?" Mira asks, clearly bothered.

"Mira, I am healthy and fine, it's just that I haven't seen Milos since I woke up this morning. Now, it is not that I am oblivious to his whereabouts, I only fear for his safety. I really hope that no harm has befallen him and the other warriors who went with him", Wanda finishes, her brows knit with pessimism.

"Oh, Luna, you stress too much," Mira says, dismissing Wanda's worry-filled statement with a wave of her hand, "The Master is fine, trust me."

Petra and Wanda ask in unison, "And how on earth would you know that?"

"Well, let's just say that I saw the Master and his men at the garrison, returning from their expedition."

Wanda shifts in her seat. "When was this?"

"As I was leaving the laundry house" she announces, clearly pleased with herself.

"Woah, I am so relieved," Wanda says, sighing deeply. "I better go and check for him"

As if on cue, Petra drops the last cornrow. She is done plaiting Wanda's lustrous curls.

"Of course not, Luna. Let's go back upstairs and get you a cold bath and some fresh clothes, Master Milos will surely come to see you" Petra advises.

With this statement, which is a stroke of genius, Wanda follows Petra up the stairs, and soon, she has a refreshing bath, with a relaxing body massage, courtesy of Petra. With Petra beside her in bed, she waits for Milos until she drifts to sleep.

Thanks for reading, I love you all.
