The Prophecy Of The Hybrid Heir (Book 2)

Connection Complete

*A Few Months Later*

*Roman*

"Roman! Roman, will you come here for a moment, please?" I am summoned by my Luna into the bathroom. "What do you need, babe?" I ask her as I step inside. "There are no more clean towels in here. Could you bring me one, please?" She is standing there topless wearing only her shorts, holding her breasts. I can't stop staring at her growing belly. 

"Babe! Stop staring. You're making me uncomfortable." She turns away from me, blocking my view of her beautiful baby bump. "What? How could I make you uncomfortable?" I walk towards her and wrap my arms around her from behind. "I don't know. I know there's a baby growing inside of me but my body has changed so much. I'm just not used to looking like a tank." An uncontrollable laugh escapes my mouth and I immediately regret it.

She turns to look at me with a pout. "Sorry." I said, still trying to hide my smile. "That is not funny, Roman." She said with a tone that could kill. "Baby, I'm sorry. You do not look like a tank. You still look as insanely gorgeous, just as you did before a few months ago when I met you." She tries to walk out of the bathroom, and I grab her again. 

"Tell me what's on your mind." I look into her eyes and she looks like she might cry. She hesitates a moment, then speaks. "My life has changed so drastically in such a short amount of time. Just a few months ago, I was a feared warrior. I could take out a rogue wolf by myself. Now I am married to a wolf, a Luna to an entire pack of hundreds,. I have a healing power from the Moon Goddess that I still don't understand, and a baby on the way."

Tears start to fall and my heart drops. She continues. "Roman, I love you more than anything, and I regret nothing. But it is still a lot to deal with. My body is doing things it's never done before, I can't control my emotions, I either want to cry or scream ninety percent of the time, and-" She stops talking about begins to cry. 

I take her to the bed and sit on the edge. "What can I do, baby? Tell me what it is and I'll do it." I brush her hair from her face. "Just hold me, please?" She pulled herself back into the bed and laid down. I climbed onto the bed next to her and she nestled into my chest. "I love you, Roman." she said softly. "I love you too, Symone."

*Symone*

I snuggled into Roman's chest and listened to his heart beat. It seemed to be the only thing that could soothe me lately. This baby has my emotions going haywire. I meant everything that I said to Roman. Everything has been such a big change in such a short amount of time. While I would not trade any of it for anything, it has still been difficult to get used to. 

I laid there for a moment, and within minutes I found myself drifting off to a peaceful sleep. I woke up to Roman's voice talking to someone. When I opened my eyes, I realized he had his face near my belly. "Daddy loves you, baby. But could you lay off on mommy? She's feeling a little overwhelmed." I looked down at this beautiful man near me and I can't help but smile. 

The sound of his voice is exciting the baby, because I feel a lot of movement. "Babe, you're disturbing her." I said, reaching for his hand and placing it onto my belly. He gets quiet a moment, waiting to feel a kick. He looks at me with fascination when the baby kicks his hand. "Her? What do you mean, 'her'?" He looks at me with squinted eyes. "You know it's gonna be a boy." He smiles before kissing my belly sweetly. 

"I just have a feeling it's going to be a girl." He pouts a little. "But I want a boy first." he said. "First? How many do you expect me to have?" I sit up to meet his face. "Umm, five?" I laugh sarcastically. "You taking other wives? Because there is no chance in hell I am doing this 4 more times. 

He squints at me again. "Well then how many do you want?" he inquired. I ponder for a moment. "I don't know. I never really thought about it. I knew I wanted to be a mother someday, but never expected it to happen so soon. Maybe three?" Roman smiled at me. "That sounds good to me." 

Roman gets up and grabs some towels from the linen closet. I stand up, still holding my breasts since I never took the shower I was planning to. Roman growled. "Just move your hands. It's not like I haven't seen them- or played with them." A sly smile creeps on his face and his eyes grow dark. I grabbed one of the towels from his hands and walked into the bathroom, smiling. 

 He walks in behind me and takes off his shirt while I run the water in our large step in shower. He takes a step forward and towers over me with his incredibly chiseled body. He noticed I was staring at his chest and he flexed his pecks and laughed. 

"Oh please." I turned around and got completely undressed and stepped into the hot shower. I heard a low growl pass his lips and I turn to see Roman strip down and follow me in. He backs me into the wall, my belly pressed against him. "You still turn me on so much, babe." There was a hint of Goliath in his tone. 

I gently push him back and turn to wash my hair.  Hey, what if the baby doesn't have a wolf? Will he still get the alpha title?" Roman took a step back and looked at me with almost with worry in his eye. "No wolf? I didn't even think of that." He looks troubled. 

"Our children will be hybrids- all of them. They all may not be the same but we have no way of knowing until after they become of age. Will you deny our baby his birth right if he or she doesn't have a wolf?" His look changes and he almost looks hurt by my question. "Never! I would never deny my child their place in this pack. They have a powerful human mother and alpha blood. Wolf or not, they will be strong enough to lead this pack." I take a step towards him and stand on my tip toes for a kiss.

"I didn't mean to offend you, baby. I just wanted to know." He looks at me a moment, then leans in for a deep kiss. "I denied you for being human once. I would never hurt our children that same way. I still regret doing it to you." He kissed my lips once more. 

"So, think we can do it in the shower again?" Roman said. "No, alpha. You can't hang me from shower rods right now. I could fall and hurt the baby." I turn to rinse my hair before stepping out and wrapping up in a towel. "I would never let you fall and you know it." He growled. I laughed and dried myself off before walking out of our bathroom and into the closet for a change of clothes. 

"Come on, woman! Just give me a little something to tie me over for the day!" I heard Roman growl. "Roman, you really need to relax. You sound like Goliath." He walks towards me looking perplexed. "What do you mean?" I slip on my panties and bra. "You really need me to tie you over for the day? Can't it wait? You know I have an ultra sound today."

He keeps looking at me with this confused look on his face. "How did you know I was thinking that?" I pulled on some blue high waisted pants that went over my growing belly and a white crop top. "What do you mean? I could hear you plain as day." He took another step towards me. "But I didn't say anything. I was only thinking it. 

I paused and looked at him like he was crazy. "So what does that mean? I can hear your thoughts now?" I said with a chuckle. "No, I think I mind linked you." I put on my flip flops and looked up at him. "What? I thought it didn't work because I'm human? We've been trying to for months now. Try to do it again." He got quiet and stared at me for a moment. My heart started pounding in my chest. I wanted so much to be able to mind link him but after months of trying we just gave up, assuming it wasn't possible.

"I love you, Symone." I was looking right at him and his lips didn't move! "Oh my god, it works!" I jumped into his arms. "Now you try to link me. Just concentrate on me and think." I got quiet and tried to mind link Roman. "I love you too, Roman." I thought to myself. He smiled, then picked me up and kissed me.

"I can hear you too!" I squealed like a school girl. I was so happy. I felt like our connection was finally complete. 

*Roman*

We walk to the pack hospital, hand in hand, having a full blown conversation without opening our mouths. Symone was so excited to be able to mind link that she wanted to do it the whole way there. I didn't mind though. I love her enthusiasm. Plus I am honestly just as happy about it. I will be able to check on her easier when we are apart, though that isn't very often. 

After she was taken by Alpha Stephen, I have tried to stay as close to her as much as possible. But with her running her business in the human city and training the warriors here in the pack, I cannot be with her 24/7. She is a remarkable Luna, and no one dares apposes her. Not only are they afraid to have to deal with me, but most of them are afraid to incur the wrath of the pregnant Luna with lethal combat skills.

We walk into the hospital and we are greeted by my mother-in-law, Ms. Renee. She gives us both a hug and we head back to the room with the nurse. Ms. Renee really wanted to see her first grandchild, and I would not deny her that. She took a seat in the ultra sound room and I stood next to Symone on the chair. 

She pulled her pants below her waist and waited for the doctor to come it. Only a few short moments passed before Dr. Calvin came into the room. "Hello Luna, Alpha. And who do we have here?" She turns to Ms. Renee. "This is my mother-in-law, Ms. Renee." She stands to shake the doctor's hand. "It's a pleasure to meet you, ma'am." the doctor said.

"Alright Symone are you ready? Remember, the gel is really cold, okay?" She dumps a bunch of the blue gel onto Symone's growing belly and presses the nob into it. "Okay we're going to check the heart beat first. Wanna hear it?" I feel butterflies in my stomach with the anticipation of hearing our baby's heartbeat. 

She moves it a bit and then we hear the sound. It is music to my ears. "Great heartbeat." the doctor said. I look down at my incredible mate and she is absolutely beaming. She starts pressing buttons on the machine while moving the nob around her belly. After a few minutes of silence, Dr. Calvin finally speaks again. "So it appears this baby is still growing at the rate of a human, which is good because I don't think a human's body could adjust to the speed of a typical wolf pregnancy."

"How long are typical wolf pregnancies?" Ms. Renee asked. "About 3 months, give or take. A human physically could not adjust that quickly. Based on the rate of this baby's growth, you are 26 weeks." She turns to us and smiles. "So do you want to know the s*x of the baby now or are we still holding off on that information?" 

I look at Symone and she is already looking at me. "It's up to you baby." she said with a smile. I hesitate for a moment, not sure if I'm ready to find out. "I think we will wait a little while longer." I finally said. "Of course, alpha. Alright let me get you some good pictures of your little one and get you cleaned up, my Luna."

After Dr. Calvin finishes up, she hands some pictures to me and a copy that Ms. Renee requested to her. "Please go to the front desk and set up your next appointment with me within another several weeks, okay?" Symone nods at the doctor and we walk towards the front.

"I'm starving. Let's go get something to eat, mommy." Symone leans onto her mother. "I want to, but I have to get down to the store today. The new products have been labelled and I've got to make sure they go in the right spot." She kisses Symone on the forehead. 

"Just let Angie do it. She is working today, isn't she?" I suggest. "Yes, but its Angela we're talking about. That girl is inside of a mall surrounded by good looking men all day. Do you really think it wise to trust her with actually getting it done? I mean, she's great on the register, but not much else." We all laugh. "Good point." I snickered.

Ms. Renee walks halfway with us before going towards her car. I continue with my Luna to the dining hall to get her something to eat. "Want me to get your food for you?" I asked, wrapping my arms around her waist. She gives me a side eye and I back away slowly, laughing. 

We grab some food and sit in our usual spot together and eat. Darien comes over and sits with us. "Hey you two. How's the baby?" he asked, taking a bite of a ham sandwich. "The baby is fine. We still opted out of finding out the gender though." Symone said, looking at me. "Oh come on! You're killing me here! I am dying to know if I'm gonna have a little niece or nephew. I want to start buying stuff."

Darien bellows. Symone laughs. "Well I would hold off on that. I don't think he will want to know until I'm pushing this kid out." She winks at me. "I just like the idea of being surprised." I shrug. Darien rolls his eyes. "Hey, I heard about Cesar. It's really f****d u-" I tried to mind link him to shut up but he had already said too much. "What about Cesar?" Symone asked. Darien and I looked at each other, then back at Symone. 

"Tell me." Her voice definitely meant business. "He is being executed for his crimes against us." Her face drops and her eyes water. She sits there a moment in silence, staring at her plate until she finally looks up at us. I can tell she is fighting back tears. "I want to see him." she said with a firmness. I nodded. I could not bring myself to try to convince her not to. We both had a connection to Cesar. We both cared for the old man, and he tried to destroy us. 

"We can leave tomorrow for the council if you wish." I said. She nodded. "No, lets head there now." I look at her with surprise, but I do not deny my Luna. The drive to the council is half a day's drive from Black River, so if we leave now and drive all the way through, we will make it there by tomorrow morning. I give Darien instructions on things needed to be done while we are away and then Symone and I head to our bedroom to pack an overnight bag.
