## Synopsis

#### Ch 1 - COLTON

Colton fights off five guards and sees Porter and Rowena fight off three guards as well as Tefirna's magical attacks. He looks for Maya worried that she's hurt and tries to mind link with her without luck. He continues to fight until he sees her in the corner where he left her. Then, he notices a blast of magical energy take out Porter and Rowena, which shakes the ground so hard that he falls over. This gives the guards attacking him an advantage to jump on him and use their silver chains to pin him to the ground. He then sees Tefirna start toward Maya; he tries to mind link her to run away. But, the guards are starting to wear him down and he watches as Maya starts to glow until a bright flash of light with a surge of energy fills the room and zaps through him. The guards are knocked off him and when he tries to look for Maya, he finds Tefirna dead on the ground. He calls out to Maya and finds her laying down on the ground, the water barriers disappears, and the final round of guards attacks him. He feels recharged after the blast and manages to take them all out. He shifts back to human form and runs to Maya. He asks if she's okay and how she was able to reproduce the bright light effect from the compound. She tells him she doesn't know and he tells her that it killed Tefirna. Rowena has regained consciousness and heads towards them. He's afraid that she might be angry at them for killing her mother while Maya tries to explain that it had to be done. However, she thanks them, stating that Tefirna was never a mother and more like a captor who tried to control her. Maya asks what they are supposed to do now and Colton states they should be able to relax for once. But, Rowena tells them that's not possible because the supernaturals will feel the void of Tefirna and those who want more power will start to come and seek it. That Tefirna had a lot of enemies and those enemies will smell the blood in the water and come hunting.

#### Ch 2 - TEDDY

Teddy's short and unadventurous life flashes before his eyes while Wren straddles him, prepared to stab him. He tries to beg her not to kill him because they were friends and tries to ask for a compromise. He promises to help her get a new start, but she refuses to listen to him. She tells him that he has to die as payback for ruining her power and purpose. That him and Maya ruined everything and they both will be punished. She laughs and raises the knife; Teddy believes that it's the end for him when he realizes that she has stopped her attack because Gemini has 'inhabited' Wren. When Gemini leaves Wren's body, she jabs her knee into Teddy's testicles before smothering him with her weight. He asks Gemini, now in her own body, to help him get Wren off. When she does, Teddy stays on the ground trying to catch his breath, but she yells at him to move. When he complies, she tells him that they now have to talk about payment.

#### Ch 3 - MAYA

Maya is angry that even though they finally defeated Tefirna, they now have to deal with other villains. Porter tries to defend Rowena, which sends Maya's hormones into higher gear, and she accidentally blasts him with her mysterious power. Rowena goes to check on Porter while Colton gets excited with her new ability. Maya is stunned that she had done something to Porter and realizes that the power is coming from the baby - that it's protecting them without caring who it perceives as a threat. Colton gets even more excited and wonders what other powers his child may have. He pretends to be aggressive towards Maya and when nothing happens, he gloats that he knew he would 'pass' and that the baby has his instincts. He goes on to claim that the baby forcefield gives him some relief that he no longer has to worry about guys getting too close to Maya. However, Maya is internally freaking out about not having control over her body and what this could possibly mean. She tells Colton that it's her body and choice to go find professional help because not being able to control the force inside her could be potentially dangerous. She asks Rowena if she can help. Rowena tells her that pilgrims used to come and ask Tefirna about many things, and one that she remembered was a supernatural doctor. Colton is suspicious that Rowena, as a witch and Tefirna's daughter, may be leading them into a trap. Rowena insists that she could have killed them if she wanted to and Maya thinks that she will temporarily give up her search for Wren for the sake of her child. She tells Rowena she wants to find the doctor, and Rowena corrects that it's actually a supernatural OBGYN.

#### Ch 4 - TEDDY

Teddy wonders what kind of payment Gemini could want, hoping that she will ask for cash and not a body part. He tells her that she never disclosed that her services would come at a cost nor did he have a chance to haggle, and really, he never asked for her help in the first place. She tells him he owes her for saving his life and for taking her score. He tells her that he thought they were friends, but she clarifies they are not. She tells him that Cerberus was supposed to be her kill and he stole it from her. He insists that she take the prize if she wants it, but she states that's not how it works. He insists that he doesn't know how to harvest souls, so she can take the demon dog and the sacrifices it had taken over the years. She gets upset that he's not listening, and slaps him. He tries to give her a hug as a thank you as a last resort, but she pushes him away. She tells him that she agreed to this mission only because she was supposed to get something out of it. She explains that she's a succubus, or a sleep demon, that gets her powers from entering dreams. Cerberus' dreams would have given her a power boost and he is now indebted to her by needing to obtain three supernatural souls to replace the ones he took from her. He wonders how he's supposed to help her gain three souls when he just learned about his jinn powers. They suddenly hear a noise and realize that they don't want to be caught by cult members who have yet to discover the dead demon dog and a knocked out High Priestess. Teddy tells her that she doesn't want cult member souls and that they should escape with Wren. Gemini suggests she take Wren's soul instead, but Teddy refuses. He carries Wren and leads Gemini to someplace that she's not going to like the smell of.

#### Ch 5 - COLTON

Colton does not believe that Rowena actually knows such a doctor but Maya doesn't listen to him. Rowena tells them that they should go to Jackson Hole to ask around for Dr. Silver Delia. Maya wonders if this doctor has enemies and asking around will throw the doctor's whereabout off. Rowena tells them that it's the only option, and to look for an insignia of a baby wolf in blue circle, which is her sign. Colton is skeptical and wonders why she has a sigil but Rowena explains that it's just a sign noting her establishment. Maya breaks up their argument and tells them that Jackson is a couple of hours running in their wolf forms. However, Rowena tells them that Porter and her are not coming with. Colton gets suspicious again that they are not accompanying them, and this time Porter steps up to state they are tired of his second guessing. He goes on to explain that they held up their end of the bargain and have gone above and beyond in helping them. That they are newlyweds and are returning to the Cobalt Pack as he will be stepping in to lead the pack. Maya and Colton realize this is all true and Rowena casts a protective spell on the falls as they leave. However, Colton notices that she sneaks something into her satchel, but doesn't confront her about it. They shift and start off towards Craters of the Moon to drop off Porter and Rowena before continuing on to Jackson. During their run, Maya and Colton mind link about seeing the doctor - which Colton has a bad feeling about. He insists that they should go back to Oregon to ask Big Mac and Mrs. Smith their advice, but she insists they weren't able to help them before. She further clarifies that the Redwood Pack is not her pack, that she's a Rogue who doesn't belong there, and shuts the mind link between them. This makes Colton determined to take her back to Oregon.

#### Ch 6 - TEDDY

Teddy continues to lead Gemini while carrying Wren through the tunnels to a place he knows that cult members wouldn't willingly travel to. They get to the part of the place that smells disgusting - the cult's sewer system. Gemini looks at the place and refuses to continue through, but Teddy insists that they have to wade through a couple hundred feet of the death water to get to freedom. Gemini argues that skin absorbs things and that they can find another way. Teddy reasons that the massive amount of cult members who will be after them once they find out that Cerberus is dead and their High Priestess is missing will make this passageway the most direct way of getting out of the catacombs. They finally get into the water and gag while trying to wade through until they find the exit. Gemini runs towards a river and they dive in to cleanse themselves. Teddy tries to bring some water to Wren, who they left on the shore, but is unsuccessful. Gemini slaps Wren awake and immediately have to wrestle her to the ground. Gemini rips pieces of her shirt to tie Wren's hands and suggests they hypnotize her to undo the cult brainwashing.

#### Ch 7 - MAYA

Maya is trying to run faster to keep away from Colton, but she's still weak and tired from her previous blasting at Tefirna's. He catches up with her and mind links to warn her that they will do things her way until things go bad, which he will then take her back to Oregon. She ignores him and sets her mind on finding the doctor. She watches Porter and Rowena running ahead of her and feels envious that their relationship seems so easy. She feels the baby move and realizes that her current life of always being on the run is not the sort of environment to raise a newborn. She thinks about Colton and starts to get mad that she has started to have feelings for him while unsure of their relationship in the future. She wonders if their connection is just the mate bond or something else, and if it is love, then why was it so hard. They shift back once they reach Craters of the Moon and say farewell to Rowena and Porter. They shift back and head towards a motel and she wonders how she could ever spend the rest of her life with him or if there was a way to leave him forever.

#### Ch 8 - GEMINI

Teddy taunts Gemini to enter Wren's mind. She watches as Wren screams, bites at her restraints, and spits at Teddy. She grabs a rock but Teddy prevents her from knocking her out with it. He tries to reason that it would be easier to infiltrate Wren's dreams if she was lucid, which Gemini agrees with. She asks Teddy why they don't just leave her behind, but he refuses. She asks him why he's so loyal to her, and he explains that she was his first real friend since he was kicked out of the Arrowood Pack. Gemini tells him that she needs to know more about Wren so that she can safely enter her mind because the last time she did it was through force which has put her in her current state. Teddy starts rambling random facts about Wren, which manages to put her to sleep. Gemini uses this opportunity to enter her mind. She tries to find the cult section where she finds a memory of an old woman offering Wren a drink and repeating cult ethos to brainwash her. Gemini shoots a beam of smoke at the images to try to dispel the memory. While she is working, she hears a disturbance coming from the earthly plane and realizes that there is something wrong.

#### Ch 9 - COLTON

Colton watches Rowena and Porter leave them and notices the item that Rowena had taken from Tefirna's. He decides not to say anything and ends up comparing their relationship to his and Maya's. He decides that in the end, as long as Maya has his back, it was enough. Just as long as she doesn't come at him - unless it's in bed. They shift and head to the motel, reaching Jackson Hole by dark. They shift back and get dressed before heading into town. Maya tells him that she's tired and wants to get some sleep before they start looking for the doctor. They get to the motel, who only has one room with a king bed available. Colton is excited to share a bed with Maya, but tries not to show it. In the room he wants to talk things out with Maya, but pretends to rest on the bed while Maya sits far away from him. He tries to start up their conversation but they end up arguing about him leaving her after he finds out she is pregnant. Maya gets upset and tries to tune Colton out by turning on the TV, which makes him want to annoy her into talking to him. He asks if she has forgiven him for leaving her but she tells him she doesn't know; and asks if he would forgive her if their roles were reversed.

#### Ch 10 - MAYA

Colton thinks about Maya's question and tells her that if their roles were reversed he probably wouldn't ever forgive her. She tells him this is exactly the issue and he thinks it over. Maya starts panicking that they are about to have an intimate conversation and she would rather avoid it right now. She tells him that she will try to forgive him but for now she's angry and doesn't want to talk about it anymore. Colton agrees and asks her what she wants to do. She tells him she just has too much angry energy and he suggests she hit him. She hits him in the face, then in the gut, which gets him laughing and taunting her to continue. When she tries to punch him again, he grabs her fist, and pins her against the wall. However, she kicks him and tries to take him down by the neck, but he manages to toss her on the bed. She fights him off of her and gets into a fighting stance insisting they fight. They start to physically fight, Maya jumping on his back and swiping claws at Colton's face. He retaliates with two kicks to her left shin and holding her in a half nelson facedown. They both get up laughing and Maya pounces on Colton, knocking him onto the bed and cracking the frame. They start to get intimate, dirty talking and being rough, with Maya taking the lead. When Colton takes the lead in their lovemaking, Maya realizes he's being gentle and sweet. She's about to climax when Gemini pops into her mind. Gemini tells her she has a message about Wren needing her.

#### Ch 11 - COLTON

Colton is confused about what is happening to Maya in the middle of their lovemaking. She tells him about Gemini visiting her and stating that Wren needs her. Colton gets upset that Gemini has reminded Maya about Wren and that Maya has decided to follow Gemini's message to go to Wren. Colton tries to reason they can't go back to the cult compound, but Maya tells him that Wren and Teddy are with Gemini at a river. He tries to explain that Wren doesn't care about her and might end up harming her. They start arguing with Maya stating that she doesn't want to abandon Wren and Colton giving the ultimatum of Wren or the baby. He watches her think it over and decides to see if she will accept a compromise. He asks if Gemini, Teddy, and Wren can travel to meet them in Jackson instead of them backtracking. Before she can answer, she doubles over in pain, and Colton panics that they need to find the doctor immediately.

#### Ch 12 - TEDDY

Teddy watches Gemini turn into vapor and go into Wren's ear. Suddenly, Wren opens her eyes and begins speaking in tongues. Teddy yells that he can't understand her but she continues to speak gibberish until she gets up and starts making random movements. Teddy starts yelling for Gemini's help as he tries to redirect Wren from running into trees. Gemini speaks through Wren that she might have it until Wren slams into a tree, and Gemini's vapor comes out of Wren's ear. She tells Teddy that there's a blockage with one of Wren's memories the day Maya was kicked out of the pack, and they need Maya to help fix Wren. Teddy tries to restrain Wren again while Gemini settles to get into Maya's head. He then goes to scout the area and thinks about how he discovered he is a jinn - how he is afraid of his family finding out and ashamed if they already knew that he was different. He wanders around in though until he runs into three men by the river. He hides behind a tree and sees that they are all identical, beautiful, and wearing togas. He watches them take in the environment like they are seeing it for the first time and thinks that they are tripping out in the woods from a costume party. He turns to head back to Wren and Gemini when the men shout out to him in a foreign language.

#### Ch 13 - MAYA

Maya is tired of arguing with Colton about her sister because he will never understand her family dynamics when suddenly she feels pain that keeps intensifying from her stomach. Her vision gets blurry and she finds herself in another place, a dark pit with images of her life. She watches her memories until Gemini appears to assure her she's not dying just passed out from pain. Maya asks what Gemini is doing there and she tells her that she's trying to help Wren. She explains how they escaped the cult den and she tried to un-brainwash Wren. She found a memory that is blocking her and acts like a key, so she needs Maya's assistance to unlock it. Maya tells Gemini to come to her and Colton; that they are in Jackson Hole trying to find a wolf OBGYN because something is wrong with the baby. She tells Gemini to meet them at the Jackson Hole landmark of the antlers and Gemini leaves Maya. Alone in her subconscious, she notices a small child that resembles her and Colton. The toddler calls her Mommy and asks to play. She asks the child who they are but it asks her what she's looking for. She tells it she's looking for her family, but it tells her to stop looking because she's building a family. Maya doesn't want to believe that someone can create their own family but she goes and plays with the baby. It tells her that it's time for her to go and that it's okay if she loves him.

#### Ch 14 - TEDDY

Teddy is worried that Gemini will get mad at him for running into the triplets and tries to lose them by running away in his wolf form. He runs in the opposite direction for a while and finds that they are still following him. Unable to shake them, he decides to head back to Gemini and finds that Wren is awake. He goes into the river to bathe, thinking his smell must be attracting the triplets, and sits next to Gemini. She scoots away from him to say that he still smells bad but he shifts back to human form and tells her that they need to go because he's being followed. Teddy shifts back to wolf, they put Wren on his back, and Gemini climbs on. He runs until he's exhausted and Wren demands to be taken back to her people at the mountain. Wren and Gemini argue to the point where Wren tries to attack Gemini with her hands bound. Teddy screams at them to break up their fight and informs them that the triplets have caught up to them. Gemini doesn't see them and thinks that Teddy is hallucinating.

#### Ch 15 - COLTON

Colton panics as he tries to help Maya who has gone unconscious. He puts her on the bed and tries to shake her out of her seizing fits. He plans to throw her in a cold shower to get her to wake up but is afraid she would be mad at him for doing so when she does wake up. He checks her out but is afraid to touch her stomach until it's the only thing he hasn't done. When he places his hands on her belly, she calms down. He then talks to her belly, introducing himself. Maya's skin begins to glow and feel warm, which Colton believes is the baby liking his voice. He continues talking to the baby about Uncle X, that grandfather is dead, and that he's going to try his best to be a father. He lays his head on her stomach and tells it that both Maya and him love it very much until Maya awakens and tells him that he should say nice things to her face and not to her stomach.

#### Ch 16 - MAYA

Maya watches as Colton jumps away from her, embarrassed that he was caught talking to the baby. She tries to play it off as a joke but is also really embarrassed that she found proof that Colton is actually very caring. He starts rambling about how he was bored and likes the sound of his voice, starts pacing, then tries to switch the subject to her going unconscious and not listening to him. Maya just watches him finish making a fool of himself and tells him that she's ready to find the doctor. She goes to take a shower and they leave. She notices Colton stay quiet during their journey and realizes that he will need to start manning up to his feelings for the sake of their child who will need a father who wasn't afraid of his feelings. She gets lots in her thoughts of how they were going to raise the baby when she decides not to have a deep conversation with him in public. She instead decides to talk about Cali and Xavier and asks what they would do. They start to make fun of Cali and Xavier being over dramatic about everything and make a story about the long triangle with Cali, Xavier, and Greyson until they laugh so much it makes Maya hungry. She suggests they go to a diner close by and sit down at the bar when they realize that they had sat next to Porter and Rowena.

#### Ch 17 - TEDDY

Wren comes up to Teddy and asks if he's birdwatching, but he continues to insist that there are three men where he's pointing. He describes the triplets as Greek gods complete with the toga attire and notes that they are still coming towards them but not actually getting closer. Gemini comments that they must be figments of his fantasy, which he has to clarify they are not his type, and he notices an expression in Gemini's face that leads him to believe she might not be entirely honest with him. She tells him that they need to start heading to Jackson and reminds him that not only does he owe her three souls, but a fee for the side journey they've taken to save Wren. Wren asks if she can have some water, which angers Gemini, but Teddy promises to lead Wren to a stream and they can continue on their journey in ten minutes. He leads her towards the stream when Wren decides to talk about Gemini. Teddy starts to feel like Wren is back to herself like when they used to have a good time together until she asks him to untie her. She promises that she's better now and he contemplates if he could trust her; realizing that he is only trying to save Wren for Maya as she is the one who is special to him.

#### Ch 18 - COLTON

Colton demands to know why Porter and Rowena are in Jackson after they had left them at the Craters of the Moon. He remembers that Rowena had stolen something from Tefirna's lair but did not mention it because he believed they would never cross paths again, and thinks it's suspicious that they have. Porter explains that when they went back to look for the pack where they left them, there was so much destruction from when they had escaped, and realized the pack had moved to another location. They followed the pack's trail and found that they were all slaughtered with no survivors as there groups of werewolf hunters camping around. Maya and Colton are appalled that the huge Cobalt pack had been wiped out, but Colton still finds it suspicious that they had found them at the restaurant. Porter tells him they figured they would end up there and asks if they can join forces again. Colton and Maya mind link to discuss it - Maya stating that a witch and a fighter on their side would help, but Colton insists they already have a pack. Maya corrects that Colton is part of the Redwood Pack, not her, and insists that they should allow them to stay. He reluctantly agrees, but is happy that instead of arguing they were able to come to a compromise. Colton suggests they order food and drinks while informing Porter and Rowena that Wren, Gemini, and Teddy are heading to meet them while they continue to look for the doctor's sigil. Porter and Rowena offer to help them when Maya excuses herself to use the bathroom. On her way there, she gets catcalled by a group of snow boarders, and Colton tells them that she is his pregnant woman. Maya slaps him and the ringleader says she doesn't look pregnant so she's still fair game and challenges Colton. The ringleader throws a punch but Colton catches it and slams him into the table. Before the others could join in, Porter and Rowena assist in the brawl until the owner threatens to call the police on his cell phone. They run away and stop in an alleyway to split the group in search of the doctor sigil - Maya and Colton on the west and Rowena and Porter to head to the east.

#### Ch 19 - TEDDY

Teddy is in wolf form with Wren and Gemini riding on his back heading towards Jackson. He recalls to her begging to be untied and his refusal and guilt to not trusting her, plus her reminders of being mad at his decision by often digging her heels into his back. He realizes that sticking with Gemini and Wren has put him in a leader's position and that he would rather be in the back seat while someone else led the way. After a few hours, they make it to Jackson, Wyoming and he shifts back to human form. He notices Wren look a little out of it and asks Gemini what's going on with her. She admits that the was digging in Wren's mind and is impressed that she is still standing as most people are out of days afterwards when Wren falls over. Teddy decides to untie her and Gemini gets upset; but he insists that Gemini just said she should be out of it for a while. Suddenly, Wren head butts Teddy and she runs away. Gemini and Teddy watch her run towards town and chase after her through a crowded strip mall. They start to lose her and fear that she might shift when they suddenly see someone come out of the shadows and jump her.

(*Note: Teddy had just shifted from his wolf form to human form when they reach Jackson, so it's assumed he put on clothes before he decided to run after Wren through the crowded streets*)

### Ch 20 - MAYA

Maya and Colton are looking for the insignia and are getting tired of not getting anywhere. Colton suggests they ask around but Maya thinks that’s too dangerous and suggests they check close by hospitals. She asks about Dr. Silver Delia and gets nowhere, and finally decides to try baby stores. In the store, Colton picks out a pink skirt and comments how it’s cute and matches it with a blue bow tie and Maya points out Daddy’s Little Girl onesie which he dislikes. He then picks up a horn to blow on but Maya informs him it’s a breast pump and he throws it away. They banter and play around which makes Maya feel better and visit a few more shops before they started closing up.

But he insists by forcing her to look at him and asks if she meant it when she said she loved him.

### Ch 22 - COLTON

Colton is afraid of what Maya might say but is determined to get the truth out of her. On one hand he wants her to say that she didn’t mean it so they could go back to how they have always been. He knows how his brothers have changed since they have fallen in love with Cali and is afraid of what they might do to him. But he also wants her to say she loves him and that there is something between them. He wants to be able to settle it before she runs away again and they don’t get another chance to deal with their feelings before the baby comes. Maya does admit it and his heart beats faster as he asks why she was acting like nothing happened when she tells him he’s being weird.

He’s happy to see her until he sees movement behind her and believes the toga guys are still following them. Gemini offers to keep Wren restrained while he talks to Porter and Rowena, and he gives them a hug while they discuss what happened after they had split ways. Teddy finds out that everyone is in Jackson Hole, Wyoming. Gemini suddenly scream at them because she senses something isn’t right in the air.

### Ch 24 - MAYA

Maya doesn’t feel confident about meeting Drakanos but before she can say anything they are transported suddenly into another world. The centaur gives them a tour, mentioning Marie’s Makings as a location for alternative lifestyle wares and warning them of kale ale. They are surprised at the other creatures they see until they reach the bazaar and Maya asks about magical medical care. He offers Felix’s Fangs Dentistry run by a vampire, Ghouls Gallbladder Removal, Vera’s Visionworks run by a cyclops, Dr. Pointdexter that runs Puppy Pregnancy & More, and mermaids that do medical stuff. Before she can ask anything more, Drakanos is pulled away by another creature. She decides that she wants to try seeing if Dr Pointdexter might know more about Dr Silver Delia when she realizes Colton is gone.

### Ch 25 - COLTON

Colton had not been listening to the centaur talking during the tour and had been distracted by all the sights and sounds of the place. After Drakanos is taken away, which he thought was rude, he is distracted by a salesman with cologne because he wanted to make Xavier jealous. He checks out the cologne and realizes he doesn’t know what the currency of firelings is, so he tries to haggle. He manages to get a cheaper price but still doesn’t know what a fireling is when Maya shows up furious. She drags him away despite him wanted to do some more shopping at other stalls. She finally brings him to Puppy Pregnancy & More building and tells him she can’t do it.

### Ch 26 - GEMINI

Gemini tells the others there something up on the supernatural plain that she noticed a few days ago. She tells Teddy that they need to take cover because they are out in the open with ethereal commotion going on. They don’t listen to her, or don’t understand her warning, which frustrates her. She locks eyes with Rowena and knows she also feels something odd when she mentions they have rented a room they can stay safe in while the psychic storm calms. Wren starts screaming again and Gemini threatens to enter her mind again until she quiets down. They go to the Lamplight Lodge where they’re staying and Gemini has a feeling about Rowena that she doesn’t trust. Teddy continues talking and finds out that the Cobalt pack was slaughtered. In the hotel room, Porter goes to get ice while Teddy ties Wren to the radiator. Gemini feels something off with Rowena’s aura bur is unable to penetrate her mental block so she riles her up enough to let her lose focus and enters her mind.

### Ch 27 - MAYA

Maya is panicking about finally finding a place that might have answers for her that she might not like. She psychs herself into leaving but Colton refuses. She tries to make excuses about going back to the pack house but Colton insists they need to know why she glows. She starts to have a panic attack and admits to him that she’s worried that something might be wrong. Suddenly there is a loud boom that freaks her out even more, and when a second one happens Colton shoves her into the building to protect her.

### Ch 28 - TEDDY

Teddy tells Gemini to quit fighting with Rowena, thinking that Gemini looks like she’s gotten bigger for cowering over the witch. He tries to intervene as Gemini interrogates Rowena about liking to use her powers to inflict pain on people and killing her mother. Teddy is surprised to hear this news and goes to comfort Rowena, telling her if she had to harm her mother there must’ve been a good reason for it. Rowena explains that she had to protect Maya and the baby. He gets angry at Gemini for causing his friend pain but she insists that she’s there to collect power and Rowena is her target. She reminds him he owes her and before he can do anything, Rowena uses her magic in Gemini. Gemini vaporizes while they fight and Teddy tries to uselessly get the to stop. Finally a sonic boom manages to catch Gemini and throws her against the wall while Teddy complains about incidental fees in the room that was placed on his credit card. But Rowena is horrified about what she did.

### Ch 29 - COLTON

Colton is on high alert to protecting Maya that was having a panic attack and was starting to flow before the booming sounds happened. They hold each other in the middle of the room until someone asks if they are going to take a seat. He realizes it was a pregnant pixie who directs them to the receptionist. She explains the boom are what kelpies do when they’re excited a sacrifice has come to them, much like fireworks. He leads Maya to the reception desk and rings the bell constantly until she gets annoyed and tells him to sit down and wait for her. He thinks it’s a test but realizes she’s serious. He peruses through the magazines and pamphlets and decides to stop when he reads about fang sharpening for vampire babies. He sees a sign that says they’ve been in business since 8 A.D. and all the media types that show pictures of the babies that have been delivered. A mother and her toddler walks in and he decides to play with it, but doesn’t know how to play with the toy it was offering to him. Suddenly the baby turns into a rabid wolf trying to bite him and he holds it while looking at the unfazed mother about what to do. Instead he tries to get Maya’s attention to the tiny wolf.

Colton is panicking about entering the exam room with Maya and tells her he did his part by helping to get the appointment. She gets upset and tells him it’s also his responsibility. He reluctantly agrees and follows her and Nurse Matty inside exam room one. He explores the posters on the wall until Maya mind links to pay attention. He asks if Maya can shift while pregnant which she says it is until the final month when they are bed rest.

Maya asks about the glowing before she gets Dr Pointdexter and the nurse gets fidgety and leaves them wondering if that is not normal.

### Ch 38 - MAYA

Maya starts to panic when Dr Pointdexter comes in who tries to joke with them but they are serious. He tells them about the symptom of glowing being unusual and rare enough to only be something he’s read about. He goes on to say it only happens when there is strong Alpha blood in the fetus. Colton explains that he has Alpha blood with his father and twin brother Alpha of their pack (note: Xavier becomes interim Alpha of the Redwoods by a vote during the battle of Letifer when Greyson is compromised by a witch mark placed by a revenant in Book 16). Maya thinks about how strong her baby is and that if it’s a boy would be the one to inherit either Colton’s Redwood Pack or her grandfather’s pack, but she was not a member of either pack. The doctor wants to continue with the exam when Colton gets suspicious and Maya mind links not to make a scene. The doctor then asks if they want to hear the heartbeat.

Teddy tries to fight him but Wren also blocks him. She has both hunters and tells them they need to get info out of the which Gemini thinks is a smart idea. Teddy asks why they need two but Wren tells them they need to check the stories against one another. Teddy tries to get the hunters to talk by threatening to use the taser.

### Ch 40 - MAYA

The moment she hears it, her life is changed and she knows she will do anything for it and love it unconditionally. Until Colton speaks and ruins her epiphany. She looks at the doctors face and starts to get worried because he looks worried. She asks him what’s wrong but he doesn’t answer and she starts to get tearful and afraid when he says he has to go check something and leaves the room telling her he needs a more accurate reading.

The doctor comes back and tells her she’s having a boy and a girl - twins!

### Ch 41 - MAYA

Maya and Colton think the doctor is making another bad joke about them having twins but he insists they are having fraternal twins. He explains that having a pregnancy with twins means that she might deliver earlier and experience sharper kicks because they are trying to fight for dominance in the womb. He tells her she has to be on bed rest for the last few weeks but she tells him that’s not going to happen. The gnome comes over the intercom about centaurs having contractions now and the doctor rushes off. Colton is in shock but after sitting with Maya in silence he tells her not to worry because he can do the shopping for both babies and can build their cribs.

Gemini is about to ask another question when Porter, enraged at the news their target is Rowena, slits their throats. Gemini yells at him but he insists he doesn’t need to hear anything other than the fact they threatened his wife and he took care of it. Wren tells them they have a problem and points to the window curtain that was knocked open to show a balcony of people who just witnessed what happened.

### Ch 43 - COLTON

Colton is confused because he started to come to terms with the news of twins and wonders why Maya seems so sure about it not being true, like she can’t just say it and it will be so. He tries to argue with her that she’s in denial when she explains it’s because of the vision she had in Tedirna’s lair. She tells him she was shown one baby named Remy and he gets upset that she kept everything from him. He decides to step up his game so that she can trust him enough not to go through this alone when the nurse comes in to kick them out. Maya tries to tell the nurse she has more questions but the doctor left but the nurse doesn’t care and tells them to process it on their own time. Maya refuses to leave and demands more testing and Colton threatens the nurse. She tells them she will do what she can but the doctor is in delivery with a centaur and those take a long time. She suggests they stay somewhere close overnight and return the next day to get some tests and Maya agrees.

Maya slaps the hot dog out of his hand and it rolls on the floor, which he has to end up paying for, and he eats it anyways. They go around until the thirty minutes is up and go to their room to binge on snack food while relaxing on the king sized bed watching Greys Anatomy. Maya pouts when she realizes he’s engrossed in the show and doesn’t answer her, and he finds that she must have a craving for lemon lime soda since she’s had four cans.

They toss her into the dumpster and narrowly miss the cops searching the area. They overhear them discussing where they should head to next and that all roads out of town were blocked. When the cops leave they discuss what they should do next. Wren tells them they should leave and Rowena agrees because Maya and Colton aren’t their pack or people they don’t have allegiance to.

She explains that the three warlocks that were trapped in Cerberus as a prison for bing too powerful are after Teddy as a new host. She can also try to wait for him to relinquish their power to her.

She decides to use her persuasion powers to talk the group to stay and tells them there is strength in numbers. Everyone starts to discuss this except Wren and she wonders if she’s on to her.

He sees a picture of a family and realizes that if people in the books were having problems then what would it be like for them. Maya asks him if he’s happy about this and he feels it’s a test so he really thinks about it. He feels like they are being brought together under the circumstances and she gets upset the the is taking too long to answer. He tells her it’s complicated because he didn’t want this and she jumps at him before he can explain. He tells her she has to be willing to listen to his whole answer.

Teddy doesn’t know who to believe and feels strange, thinking that the others must be feeling tired too. They argue about going back or not and who is to blame die their situation.

Unfortunately, he tells her that if it’s a girl he wants to name her Megatron - Meg for short. Maya refuses and tells him that they both should make a list of names they can vote on but would be better if they just met the child first. Colton agrees and tosses out names like Sue and Maya tries Aurora. Colton then says Nutella or Pistachio which Maya refuses and tries Lacey. Colton asks about Hairy and Maya asks about Dean. They decide to look up baby names on the phone and he thinks Remy for a girl or boy would be good. But Maya is reminded of Tefirna.

Teddy starts to think that Maya and the baby were in danger of the man and his followers, that they might want to steal the baby. They look for the baby doctor and enter the clinic where Teddy goes to check out the receptionist. He argues with the gnome he refuses to give out information about patients. Teddy insists that the person he is looking for could be in danger and finally gets the info that Maya was in earlier and will return tomorrow - by looking at the calendar. They agree it’s good news and decide to track them to a hotel in the area. Teddy pretends that he’s Colton and forgot his room and gets the number 114. They joke pounding on the door and barrel themselves into the room when Colton answers. They greet each other and Teddy asks dibs on the shower when Colton tells them they can’t stay.

### Ch 60 - COLTON

Colton doesn’t want them to stay in their room because he wanted it to be just him and Maya. He forgot that there were others in their traveling party and doesn’t know how they found them and isn’t happy to see Wren their either. Teddy asks why they are being kicked out - more specifically why he can’t stay, but Colton tells them to get their own room because there’s only one bed. Maya tells them it’s okay and that what’s yours is ours and they go wild on the snack bags Colton had bought earlier. They tie Wren’s leg to a chair and exchange info. Colton mind links Maya if she wants to share the twins news, but she wants proof and security first. Teddy rips through the food and drinks and Colton tells him he’s going to be paid back for it all because he’s a lone wolf not a loan shark. He tosses Teddy out with Gemini going after him. Rowena and Porter tells them that they hears fanatics talking about the baby in the market and fear they might be in danger, but Colton insists it can’t be about them.

Colton agrees to lay low and suggests ordering room service again but Maya refuses and wants to go out and says Wren can come too. They all reluctantly follow her and get ready when she feels the sensation of warmth and starts to glow. Colton notices and stops her from leaving and she stops glowing. He tells her maybe the baby is sensing danger and that they shouldn’t go out and Rowena tells her there might be a spell she could do to help. It can cover the pregnancy scent and might help with the glow but Maya is worried the spell might harm the baby.

### Ch 62 - TEDDY

Teddy and Gemini head to get their own rooms. He is happy to have found Maya again because being near her makes him feel safe because she could call the shots and he was more comfortable being in the backseat. After he left the Arrowhead pack as a Rogue he couldn’t handle being on his own anymore. He thinks that if she joins a pack he would join it too but it would be better if she starts her own pack as a female Alpha. He asks Gemini how long she’s going to stick around but she tells him she doesn’t have a plan. He books them two rooms when he sees the triplets and he grabs Gemini to point them out. She looks and tells him she doesn’t see anything until she tells them she didn’t know she meant the triplets. He demands to know what she knows about them. She tells him that the three are brothers and was supposed to be her score but he took them from her.

### Ch 63 - COLTON

Colton isn’t sure he can trust a witch and isn’t sure if the potential risk at the market overrides the potential risk to the babies. Maya asks to talk to Colton privately. She tells him she’s leaning towards yes but wants his input and he’s happy that she is thinking of them as a team. They discuss the pros and cons of doing it and she believes that Rowena is in control of her magic. Colton decides to agree to go along with her as along as they find out what the catch is. He takes lead and asks Rowena what’s in it for her and she looks offended and tells them it’s a favor. Maya mind links to him that for a deal to be done they would have to state the conditions first and know that it can be called upon in the future, and Colton thinks that an unknown favor is a big risk. He tells her they agree as long as she doesn’t screw them up with the favor.

### Ch 64 - MAYA

They decide to shake on the deal and Maya is comforted by the warmth from Rowena’s hand. Porter goes to shut the blinds while Rowena positions Maya in the middle of the room. They gather supplies while Colton talks to Wren and she starts to get nervous. Rowena tells her she’s going to mess with her hormones so she might feel hot and cold flashes and nausea. Colton comes over and tries to stand next to Maya but Rowena warns it’s risky for him to do so, which he ignores once he hears the word risky. Rowena starts chanting an incantation and she feels the hot and cold extremes and a tingling power. Once it’s done Porter says he can’t smell her pregnancy anymore but Colton can - but Rowena tells him it’s because he’s the father he will always be able to smell it because the baby is partially his. They start to get ready to go out again when Maya opens the door and the glow starts again, this time directly from her belly and brighter than before.

### Ch 65 - GEMINI

Gemini is enjoying Teddy being confused and he tells her that she needs to explain the issue with the three brothers or she can leave because he no longer needs her help since he’s found Maya. Gemini thinks about it and sees it’s true they no longer need each other because her new main target is Rowena. She decides to give him the info in hopes he could distract the others so she could focus on her new mission. They go to the room and she stalls in telling him the three Grecian brothers are actually who have been imprisoned in each head of the Cerberus because they wronged a god. Now that they are released they are after him because power is never lost only recycled and are coming to inhabit him. Teddy starts to panic and tells Gemini to take them off his hands but she tells him they have to enter him and then she would have to kill him. Teddy is surprised to hear this but she assures that she doesn’t want to kill him because she’s taken a liking to him because she told him everything already and no longer plans on killing him. She laughs and tells him she’s curious to see what will happen to him once they inhabit his body when there is a knocking at the door.

### Ch 66 - COLTON

They cover ever crack with sheets to block the light and Colton demands Rowena fix it. He decides to check on Maya in the bathroom and see if she can calm down to decrease the light but finds her talking to her tummy because the glow happens when there is danger.

He decides to try jumping out the third floor window and asks Gemini to come with him. When they reach the ground they look to see the brothers at the window and starting to come down. They try to go back inside the hotel to Maya but Teddy forgot the room number. But Gemini notices the light and they go to the room where they guess what happened.

Teddy is upset when Gemini decides to help by using her mind control tricks, telling them it’s easier when they are drunk. They don’t know how to move Maya undetected so Gemini adds this to her directions and he tells them there is a tunnel system that runs under the town and he knows because he’s been there for 150 years.
