Page 165 of His Sunshine Baby

“That is because I covered up her heat with my power. You feel my magic on her, and her wolf is smelling it too, that’s why she is calm. Her heat is still there, only toned down. It will stay that way until it ends, so don't worry about that.”

I can’t help but let out a long sigh of relief. I really didn’t expect that… I’ve seen female wolves having their heat a couple of times before, but I didn’t think Nora would still be a virgin. Sylviana nods, visibly satisfied, and turns to us.

“Thank you for that. It’s my first time seeing her from up close!”

“You sound like a kid going to Disneyland,” says Daniel with a frown.

Sylviana chuckles.

“Nora is somewhat special. Her aura is like… a warm fire, radiating with Moon Power. I can feel it so clearly.”

“They haven’t confirmed she’s a Royal yet,” I say.

“I strongly believe so. Her power is so pure. Your baby’s aura is the same, Elena.”

I frown. What? She never mentioned anything like that before, but Sylviana keeps staring at my belly and nods.

“It’s different from yours. I think her father’s strong alpha blood might have awakened a power that was dormant within you. Have you talked with Reagan yet?”

“No. I was confined here, remember? But I plan to. And Nate, too.”

“If Elena’s baby is a Royal, just like Nora…”

I know we are thinking the same thing. If the vampire attack was targeting Nora because of her special blood… Sylviana nods sadly.

“She will become a target too.”

“Sylviana, that vampire attack. It wasn’t just a vampire attack, right? A dark witch was behind it, and she wanted Nora. You said bad witches will target werewolves.”

She looks at me with a sad expression, and slowly nods.

“Yes. Nora’s power is very attractive.”

I start to lose patience and growl, annoyed.

“Sylviana, if you know things, spill it. I have enough things threatening my baby, I would rather have the full list now.”

Of course, she is not impressed in the slightest, and shrugs.

“It is as I said, Elena. The dark witch who attacked the city is most likely after Nora’s tremendous Moon Power… and once she knows of its existence, she might go after your daughter too. For now, it’s like having a candle next to a firepit. Nora’s aura is much stronger; she won’t even be able to notice your baby while you carry her.”

“You mean until she’s born,” says Danny.

“Yes. I can’t quite understand it, but somehow, Elena’s aura is acting as a shield and hiding her baby’s. That’s why even I couldn’t see her aura until I got close.”

I don’t know if I should feel good about that or not.

In other words, something we can’t figure out about me is shielding my baby from Sylviana and that dark witch’s powers, though we still don’t know why until I talk with Reagan.

But once my daughter is born, she will become a target. Like Nora’s firepit aura.

I take a deep breath. I’m going to need a lot of help to get through this. I need Reagan to spill the beans about whatever’s unusual about me, and finally know the truth about my parents.

But first, I need to talk to Nate.

“What’s next?” I ask Sylviana. “How much of a threat are we talking about here?”

“It will depend on how many packs Nora and the King can rally.”
