Faye was lying naked on the bed, waiting for Princess to join her. The room was quiet, except for the faint sounds coming from the other side of the door, where the Alpha was putting their pups to bed.
She had been staring at the ceiling for some time, her thoughts wandering back to their visit to Pali's shop. Her mind was much calmer now than it had been earlier, but the things he had told them were still sitting heavily in her chest.
Their unborn pups.
Faye slowly lowered her hand to her stomach, spreading her fingers across the tummy. She tried to feel something beneath her skin, some little movement that would remind her they were still there. However, there was nothing. Just the familiar warmth of her body and the steady beat of her heart.
The thought of losing them scared her more than anything.
