The packs had been peaceful ever since the underground rogue attack, so Valerie was not expecting any negative news.
"Val, Ashley gave birth in the shower," her mother said excitedly. Ashley's labor and delivery were among the fastest anyone ever witnessed, and her mother continued to speak with the same height of excitement.
"Val, I wish you were strong enough to come to this pack. Ashley has a son, Cairo. Your father already spoke with Denzel, and he refused to allow you to travel," Luna Alma said with remorse.
She was there and was capable of taking care of her pregnant daughter, but as far as Denzel was concerned, pregnant women were fragile, and he was not going to endanger Valerie through any means.
The pack was the safest and should be left so.
