- We want her to prove she's worthy. - One of them said.

- What do you propose – Thomas questioned.

She must rage and be pitted against multiple wolves to prove her worth.

- She is pregnant. Thomas said.

- This is not an excuse, if you don't do it now, you will be removed from your level. - One of them said. - You didn't say she's an Amazon, nothing better than proving your bravery. - He said.

Lili said, as she approached, putting herself between the men.

- I don't see any problems. – The Amazon said.

- An unborn baby will not stop me. - She said.

The arena was already ready for the next day.

The woman had what she wanted, armor, which was only to protect her belly, the rest was with her strength and a common sword, where she kicked the ass of anyone who was placed in her path.

Stray dogs ran out, yelping and crying, as she punched and kicked each one of them.

That hour, when they were literally being kicked, was the defining moment in which she was accepted into the clan, over 15 stray dogs kicked out of the arena by a pregnant woman.

Even so, that did not stop the advances of her rival, Amanda even if she was at that time, like the shadow, where Lili walked, she was behind, at her side was Arthur, monitoring the events, being a period of peace, in that time, when they were going through a troubled moment, when Lili, without knowing it, was poisoned...

Being that she had drunk something that was sneaked in by Amanda, which made her go into labor making her feel sick, at that time, she got nervous, her water broke.

- What happened? – Thomas questioned, it was New Year's Eve, when he thought the baby wouldn't come before spring, it was only six months pregnant.

He called the priests and doctors who were there, with the representative of the clan of dragons, the avatar of ruin, called the Nemesis Delphos who were there for a meeting.

She was taken to the council hospital, where midwives and doctors were prepared.

Surreptitiously, someone who knew Amanda, overheard the conversation with Arthur and Amanda who wanted to kill Lili and the unborn baby.

She thought about telling Thomas or someone on the council, but due to the growing influence of the two on the guard and the council, he tried, when he was threatened by Amanda, but, what he didn't know was that a priest of Zarathanis saw it, while instead of telling Thomas, he headed towards Nemesis and the priests.

- If I cure her and she lives, then, she will suffer persecution, she can be killed. – Nemesis said.

- Let's talk to Lili. - A priest said.

- What do you propose? – Nemesis questioned.

- Let's make her a proposition. Selenian said.

"We'll move Thomas away so he doesn't know when the time is right." - He said.

At that time, the nurses and doctors who were members of Um-Mu's clan, took both Thomas and Arthur away.

They went back to the hospital's ICU room, at that time, when Lili was almost dead, when she would still give some answers.

- You have to protect yourself and the unborn child. Selenian said.

- What do you want from me? - She panted.

- Accept your prize, become a vampire, this will pass a charge of energy to your daughter. Selenian said.

- She will die. - The woman said.

- No, she is strong, if she doesn't bite anyone in the next 18 years, she will live as a half-breed, a wanderer, she will be mortal until she meets a werewolf who will be her companions, she will only die when she turns 18, then will be embraced by two companions, one being a wolf and a half-vampire. - He said.

-You promise she won't die? - She begged.

- Do you promise that you will accept that we lied about your death? – He questioned her.

- All for the sake of the baby. - She said.

At that time, she was bitten, the vampire of the clan, embraced her, passing a part of the venom of the vampires and a dose of immortality through her blood, veins and umbilical cord.

The woman gasped, giving one last bite scream, amid the urgent ceremony, as she screamed, then, she died, before reviving...

Rumors of his death spread to Arthur who were on duty at that time, when he learned of the death, the dead body of two beings who were going to be taken to the ceremony.

Thomas wept, half-screaming, as he rocked the bodies in his arms.

The burial was without him, and he couldn't get himself together, this made him curl up in fetal form a few hours after being ripped from dead Lili's arms.

The burial was quick, it was in one of the distant temples, when everyone said goodbye, at dusk, when they left, the priests and Nemesis Venus returned there, to help unearth the woman who came back to life, being taken wobbly to the other side of the temple, starting the ceremony;

About that.

Thomas like every man found relief in Amanda's arms, who gave herself without any shame, going into her tent, crying, and having sex.

Amidst this, they began to have a secret relationship.

- You can assume me. – She tried, this was not the first time she tried to make him accept the woman, even though five months of constant sex had passed, in which he did not accept the woman, even though she got pregnant the first time, the pregnant belly was evident.

- I'm expecting your child. – She said, it wasn't the first time.

Thanks to the wolf community, there was no law there that would force a wolf to take over his child, nor pay child support, until he took over, his offspring would be nothing more than a bastard.

- I do not accept, you are just an opportunist, sex with you is just relief. - He said.

- You know what I can do to you by revealing this to the council.

- You know what everyone thinks about you, an opportunistic whore. - He said.

– All you can do will be just a grain of sand in the desert.

- With that belly showing, nobody will take you for truth, just a whore that serves to be eaten. - He said.

- How dare you. – She tried to slap him, for her mother to be able to.
