Revera led her mate to the far reaches of the den. The cool night air sang in her ears but it did nothing to calm her. She hated crying. She hated weakness and not being able to look someone in the eye and yet here she was practically cowering before her mate.

Sigurd moved up beside his mate, nuzzling her neck fur. "Are you alright? What's wrong?" He said, watching her with a very concerned look on his face. "Revera, you can talk to me about anything."

Revera shook against his the warmth of his fur. Her eyes were streaming now. marring her pretty face with muddy tears. "I'm scared Sigurd. I don't feel right. I'm winded and emotional and I don't know what to do!" The alpha muffled her voice against his wintery fur.
"You're mad at me for not letting you go to the Kings. There is new wolves and Kit's sick now I'm sick but there are so many others to treat and all I want is to close my eyes and make it go away!"
"It's selfish and stupid and I know I sound like a whelp but I can't help it Sigurd. Something just isn't right here." She was trembling by the end of her confession. She couldn't meet her mate's eyes. This was the most humiliating thing she had ever done.

Sigurd licked his mate's tears away, nuzzling her neck once again. "Easy, Revera. Just calm down and take a few deep breaths. Tell me what's troubling you, in a slow, complete though." He said with a grin, licking her cheek and smiling.

Revera laughed through her tears. "I thought I had." The smile wilted from her face as soon as it arrived. "So are you mad at me Sigurd?" She just managed to meet his eyes as she barked.

"Not at all. Why would I be angry at you? You haven't done anything wrong. You did give me the full thought. I just wanted to try and make you laugh." Sigurd said, nudging her cheek gently.

"When you came back you didn't even look at me...." She gulped unable to stay on her paws. Her stomach twinged painfully as if something small and sharp were digging inside her. The ground was cool against her overheated skin.
"But there's something else. Something more pressing than I've ever dealt with before." She motioned her mate closer to her and whispered in his ear.
"I think Alpha and Beta may have... blessed me. Blessed us." Her eyes locked with his own. How would he react to this news?

Sigurd licked her cheek. "I was deep in thought. I'm sorry I made upset." He looked at Revera, a curious look on his face. "What do you mean blessed, my Love?" His eyes searching hers with a quizzical look growing on his face.

Revera watched the confusion spread across her mate's face. With one heavy sigh she gathered her words. "I mean, that you are going to be a father." Her words were soft as a doves feather on the wind.
It felt so strange to say these words. She'd been 'Mom' but never by blood and then there was Kit. How could Revera love her properly when she was going to be weighted down by her own pregnancy.
she only hoped Sigurd would sooth her frazzled nerves.

Sigurd looked at her, the realization setting in quickly. "Really?!" Excitement tearing through him as he licks her cheek and nuzzles her neck. "That's great news, Revera! I can't believe it! Blessed we are indeed."

Revera shook her head against his excitement. "But Sigurd look at the facts. This the worst time for this to happen. We're in the middle of the war. Everyone's sick and now I won't even be able to stay in this den with my pack. It's bad luck to give birth without the sound of running water in your ears. I have to go back to the abandoned den and leave everyone undefended!"
Her voice rose loud enough to flick a few ears. The alpha let her voice fall low again. The stress of the situation was making her shiver. She felt like she might be sick right there.

Sigurd nudged her reassuringly, licking her cheek. "Hey, its okay. We can appoint a temporary Alpha, and you and I can go to the old den. And it can be just you and me, Revera. They can send a runner to notify us of what's going on."

Revera gazed up at the male she had chosen for her mate. Could she really do this? Let someone else stand in her stead? Hold everything she would die to protect for somthing so precious that it must be carried right next to her heart.
"It will be Rayne. She will take my place as alpha until I return. The sooner we move the better. I'm liable to lash out again like I did to Myria. Oh and one more thing. I know that Kit is old enough to take care of herself but I've always loved her. I want you and I to adopt her. Would that be okay if she agrees?" Her eyes flashed from her mate's eyes to the pretty gray white wolf resting off to the side.
It was then that Revera realized Kiba and Rayne were not in the den. It was late and Kiba was injured. Where could they be.
"Sigurd, Kiba ran off. I need you to go find him and bring him back. He can not leave this den in his condition. It cold kill him!"

Sigurd nodded slowly. "But leaving you in your current condition without a guard to get you what you need... You're the back bone of the pack. But I will go and try to find him. I'll start at the den and work my way from there." He said, licking her muzzle before leaving her side, and padding slowly to the entrance. "I'll be back as soon as I can." He said, looking back at his mate before leaving.

Revera watched him go. Her worried eyes gazed around the den. She trusted Rayne completely but this pack was more her family then anything she'd ever had. It was hard to think of someone else protecting it and watching it.
Her eyes landed on Kit. The young wolf had fallen asleep and Kovu guarded the den like a good warrior. Miranda was tending her herbs. Her beta's were out working long into the night all to accomplish the great unity that was a pack.
"Take good care of them Rayne." The alpha whispered to herself.
