Excerpt:
Beth stood in the
center of the room and raised her glass. “To the next generation.”
The crowd responded.
Glasses clinked then drained. More bottles of champagne appeared in the
waitstaff’s hands and glasses were refilled. So. It was going to be that kind of party. Shifters metabolized
alcohol quickly and it required quite a bit of effort, on their part, to become
drunk. From the way the guests were tossing back their glasses Angie assumed
more than one would be tipsy before the afternoon’s end.
Betty took the seat next
to Angie. “I hope you don’t mind. Since I’m mated to the pack beta I’m expected
to sit next to the mother-to-be.”
“And it’s rumored to
increase her fertility,” someone shouted from the crowd.
Betty squirmed,
looking as uncomfortable as Angie felt. The beautiful wolf shifter’s gaze
drifted to Angie’s belly, turning envious for a second before she glanced away.
It wasn’t a secret that Betty and Ken desired their own litter of puppies.
“Well, then you
better scoot your chair even closer.” Angie moved the table separating them out
of the way and gestured to Betty.
An odd game began
where Beth handed out slips of paper containing a list to all the guests. They
emptied the contents of their purses. Angie peered over Betty’s shoulder. It
was like bingo but instead of numbers people were ticking off objects. Taser,
pepper spray, jerky, and claw clippers were some of the items listed. Angie
snorted. She had been to baby showers before but they had all been for humans.
Beth approached with
an armful of brightly wrapped presents. “While they play for prizes, you open
presents. Pass them to Betty and she’ll take note of the gift and who it’s
from.” The omega handed a small book and pen to the other woman.
“Yes, ma’am.” Angie
winked. Throwing parties came naturally to Beth. She had even organized Betty
and Ken’s wedding. An event New Port would never forget.
After opening a few
gifts, Angie stared at the items. Kong dog toys as teething rings, scratch
posts for developing claws, and fire-retardant blankets were the key items that
caught her attention. She stroked her hand over her developing child. Would she
have to find a pediatrician for the baby or a veterinarian? All this time, she
had imagined a soft, pink baby in her arms. Now? A sharp toothed, scaly terror
chasing the cats within the castle. She scratched her chin. She had zero
experience with either and found both images frightened her equally.
