Ann sat on a secluded bench surrounded by climbing fragrant flowers in the garden near Bartholomew's office, struggling to pull herself out of the stunned silence she had found herself in..

Adam would be over the moon, although she wasn't sure his enthusiasm was going to top Maeve's.
"See? I told you! Wow! Three pups! They're going to be the most beautiful pups you've ever seen! And strong too! We can take them for runs in the forest as soon as they shift and... I wonder when they'll shift! With both parents being Alpha's perhaps it will happen even sooner! Ann do you think…"
Ann listened numbly to Maeve's chatter. She had given up trying to answer her excited yapping and quite honestly, the constant noise was giving her a headache. Although that could also be the result of the mounting stress that she was finding herself under daily.
