Chapter 12. Disrespect

The pack was gathering this evening for a meeting. The Alpha had some important updates and announcements, so everyone was required to be there. The sun was setting, and I made my way outside. The stage was setup and most people were already gathered around. I stood quietly in the back of the crowd, wishing I didn't have to be here.

I looked over to the other side of the field and saw all the young pups running around playing. My hand involuntarily went to my still flat stomach and I wondered if my pup would look like Ranger or more like me. There was a young pup jumping around, he was about four years old, with jet black hair like Ranger's. I found myself smiling. It's been three days since I found out I was pregnant, and I already loved my baby.

"Testing, Testing." Ranger's voice pulled me out of my daydream. He was standing on the stage and his eyes scanned over the crowd.
