CHAPTER TWENTY-SIX

  Within an hour's time, everyone was prepared for the big meeting. Diana had told Alex about the period issue which left him mortified up to that moment. Bella on the other hand was feeling nervous about the big announcement that had to be made.

  She knew that when they would present her as the pregnant werewolf, there would be much attention drawn to her and she did not like that. All her life, she had been hardly noticed by anyone and she had gotten used to that lifestyle. But she knew that was about to change and she was terrified, but Achilles had assured her that everything was going to be alright and she trusted him.

  "Are you alright?" Achilles asked Bella as they all arrived at the door which led into the meeting hall.

  "I feel like I'm going to faint, Achilles." She responded, breathing hard and fanning herself with her hands. "I'm hyperventilating right now. Must I really be here. You can make the announcement without me"
