After dealing with Damon and Gaia the Council decided to send another team after Damien and we were. given three weeks leave to settle in our new territory. There still isn’t a new name for the Pack, but the list is getting shorter by the day.
Umayza and Joseph both agree that there is not one suited name between them, but neither one can explain what is wrong with the names. The build of the new Pack–house is coming along just fine and so is the Hospital, something most Pack–members are happy to help with.
Ma and Asilda jumped at the chance to take care of the High–ranking Pups of the future and Joseph loves spending time with them as his parents are running around doing whatever needs their attention. Dad helped us decided where to build our new home and Umayza is starting to show already.
According to Doc that is very normal for a female carrying three Pups and she will only get bigger as time passes, she already promised us she would stay home during the last stretch of her pregnancy. The Council told her that cases could wait as she has a very strong gift and she will be able to catch up if it was necessary.
Evander asks me to hold a piece of wood in place as he hammers the nails into the board and I look around me at the home we have build with the help of a lot of Pack–members. Yara has taken Umayza under her wing and is showing her around the Pack every single day.
After they had covered the terrain that belonged to White Crescent Pack they started to walk around Dark Mountain Pack territory and Umayza has been reliving memories during every trip. The first time it happened Yara had linked us in total panic and after it was over Umayza explained to her what had happened.
It was a memory from about eight years ago and we had to ask Atlas if he could tell us who the female was after Umayza had described her. He took us to a small cottage not far from where Umayza had relived the memory and we found out it had been his Mate that she had seen the memory from.
Umayza had asked him if he could ask his Son to come over and when he showed up she told them both to sit down, “Do you know what the gift of perception is?” She had asked them and both males had shaken their heads, she explained it to them before she continued.
“Your Mate knew she wouldn’t survive giving birth to your Son and one day she sat down under a tree near the border, she was talking to you as she sat there. She wouldn’t have changed a thing if someone had given her the change, she loved both of you more than her own life.
–She wished for both of you to find happiness, she wanted both of you to enjoy every day together and to
live life to the fullest. She wanted you to know that your Father saved her life the day they met, your Grandfather had made a deal with her Alpha.
Your Grandfather was in debt with him and he wanted your Mother as his chosen Mate, but she refused because his previous two Mates had died under suspicious circumstances and if it hadn’t been for your Father she might have been forcefully marked.” When she was done telling them about her memory both males had tears running down their cheeks.
They promised Umayza to keep her gift a secret and if she ever needed their help all she had to do was ask. All memories she relived were happy memories and with Yara aware of her ability we knew she would be safe. Alpha Theseus had assigned Nestor to her for as long as we were still building our homes.
Evander and I are nearly done with the nursery and I can’t wait until we can move into it, starting to build our life with Umayza and our Pups. Mom has finally decided to stop working at the Pup–center and help Ma

and Asilda with their daycare, I know she did it so she can look after her Grandpups.

We weren’t surprised to see that the outside of our home was done within a week, after all Alpha Theseus owns the largest construction company around and he had assigned a huge team to building our homes. The Wolves and Lycans that worked on our homes had been fast and efficient and Ma had thanked them by cooking for them..
She even helped out in the kitchen at the Pack–house and Asilda had offered her help to Ademus to get all the paperwork filled. Orion and Gray had helped out at the training grounds with the Pups and so had our entire Squad, which of course caused a lot of excitement among the Pups.
We all helped out where it was needed and I am glad we decided to settle down in our birth Pack, this will be our home and that of our Pups. This is were we will build our future, our Pups won’t have to worry about getting their Mom’s ability and will be free to do as they please.
For Orion and Asilda it will be a different story, their first Daughter will have the gift and Umayza and Gray already promised them that they would help her train her gift. She will be able to help the Council like her Aunt and I know the history of the Night Shade Pack will be changed by their offspring.
“Evander, Conri.” We hear Nestor shout and we both drop what we are holding and rush out the door of our cottage, “Umayza is unconscious, Mom says she relived a memory and then she just passed out.” He says as we run after him and he points towards the cluster of trees and boulders behind the new Pack–house.
Yara is holding onto Umayza while Doc is checking her out, “No injuries and the Pups are fine.” He says and I lift her out of Yara’s arms, “Thank you, Yara.” Evander says before we rush back to Mom and Dad’s cottage and we wonder what might have happened there to trigger the state she is in.
After the longest twenty four our of my life she finally opens her eyes and before she can tell us what happened Dad informs us that all Pack–members are called to the new Pack–house. We don’t want her to go, but when she says it is probably because of her we take her to the new Pack–house.
After she explains to Amarah that she is responsible for the name on the board, we hear the reason for her passing out and I am stunned to learn she relived a two hundred year old memory. “We need to keep a closer eye on that Mate of ours.” Evander says.
I carry her into the living room to watch what the Pack–members will vote and in the meantime she tells us through the mind–link what it was like to see a memory that old. We watch as Joseph and Inti walk over to the board and when Joseph picks up the marker an older Pack–member from Dark Mountain pack grabs it out of his hands.
“You don’t get to vote, Pup.” He says and my eyes widen as I hear Griffin roar at him, Evander stays close to the male as Amarah is calming Griffin down. I chuckle at Umayza’s remark that the Pups should get a vote as they will outlive most of us.
“Thank you for your input, Umayza. You are right, our Pups will have to live with the Pack’s name a lot longer than some of us. They have a right to put down their vote as well.” Alpha Theseus says and Evander helps Joseph and Inti to put down their votes in favor of the name.
1 back to our Inti quietly slides of Umayza’s lap after she falls asleep in my arms and Evander and I parent’s cottage. I place her on the bed before we head down the stairs to ask Mom to keep an eye on her and we both head back to our cottage to get some more work done.
By the time our cottage is done the new Pack–house is finished as well, we decide to stay at our parent’s cottage to pack up our belongings and suddenly we hear the Alpha howl. A howl that notifies the Pack that their Alphas are expecting a Pup and the three of us join the rest of the Pack in their howls.
