"Yes," Leo said with a nod. "It was definitely an accident. You weren't supposed to get in on the...action, if you want to call it that. According to Brayden, the father of the children I'm carrying, due to the cycle of the moon it currently is, the moon is so strong that friends and familt members of people like me get the scent of the female I shot and killed on them, causing people like you to get involved like you did. How the rest of my family didn't get involved is beyond me. Maybe they knew about the cycle and planned it. I don't know."

Leo sighed and shook his head.

"I dunno Trevor. I really don't," Leo said in honest uncertainty. "I could resume trying to live a normal life as a human with my human family after the babies don't need me anymore, but I won't be able see the babies very much if at all if my family has their way. I could remain with the pack and raise the babies with the pack and Brayden...and any others I end up having if any. Or I could just leave and go it alone once the babies no longer need me, searching out Brayden whenever the moon cycle forces me into heat again."

Leo sighed again, this time in sadness.

"Right now, I just want to make it to the end of the pregnancy and make it through the birth. I'll decide what I'll do once the babies no longer depend on me for their survival."
