“I missed you.” He whispered in my ear, making a shiver run down my spine. I become so weak in his arms, love just takes over.
He let me go and greeted Katy and Jackson.
What am I supposed to do? I can’t just not tell him, that has to be against some relationship rule right? I don’t even know if the baby will make it. Just that one thought brakes my heart. I don’t want to say goodbye to my baby, I want to be with him or her, I want to help them when they need it, and kiss they’re booboos.
“Hey, Anna are you okay?” Katy whispers to me while Tyler catches up with Jackson. “Look, Anna, you don’t have to tell him now, just wait until you’re ready, okay?”
I nodded thankfully and plastered on a fake smile.
“Who’s hungry?”
~•~
“So Tyler how was the meeting?” Katy asks him while relaxing on the white couch.
After eating dinner, well I more like inhaled it, we gathered in the living room to hang out. I feel horrible for not telling Tyler yet, but like Katy said, I should wait until I’m ready. But when will I be?
“It was boring like every other meeting.” He groaned and pinched the bridge of his nose.
All I wanted to do was release his stress, make him comfortable. Goddess my wolf would do absolutely anything for him. But that makes me more vulnerable.
We continued chatting until we all became drowsy. I didn’t think that being pregnant messes with your body and emotions so much. I almost cried because I was getting frustrated, about how tired I was. Acting normal in front of Tyler won’t be as easy as if thought.
Jackson went home and Katy went to bed. Tyler headed upstairs, I told him I would be up in a minute. I was thirsty.
I pulled open the fridge and grabbed one of the chilled water bottles. I took a couple sips.
I couldn’t help but notice my head slightly spinning, and pounding. I grabbed the counter in a panic to steady myself.
It was probably because I haven’t let my wolf out in weeks, I should go for a run tomorrow.
I took the water bottle upstairs with me and carefully made my way to the bedroom. The lights were off so I’m guessing Tyler’s sleeping. I slipped into the room, trying not to wake him up. After I brushed my teeth, I snuck under the duvet.
Now that Tyler’s back I’ll finally be able to get some sleep. I curled up under the covers waiting for Tyler to pull me close to him like he always does.
But he didn’t.
Worry overcame me and I reached out, combing my hand through his smooth hair.
But it’s like he didn’t notice.
“How could you not tell me.” His voice sounds pained.
“What do you mean,” I whisper back confused. What is he talking about?
“Did you think I couldn’t tell?”
What is Tyler talking about?
“Tyler I don’t know what…”
“When a she-wolf is with child her scent changes.” He breaths out.
I was motionless.
The room started spinning, and I wanted to hide under the bed.
How was I stupid enough to not think about my scent changing. I mean it changed when I got my wolf when Tyler and I fully mated, and it should obviously change if I’m pregnant.
My mother told me about this. I asked her one day when we found out our Beta’s mate was pregnant. I asked her all about mates and pregnancy and the future.
Tyler knew right when he got home, during dinner, in the living room. What am I supposed to say? That I’m scared?
I shouldn’t be scared, I should be strong.
“I’m sorry,” I whispered gently with a shaky voice. “It’s just… I’m scared.”
Suddenly I was engulfed in his big arms. He pulled me onto his lap and I snuggled my head into the crook of his neck. “I’m sorry, I didn’t know what to say.” I apologized again, almost crying.
“Shh.” He chanted in my ear. “I love you, and everything is going to be okay.”
“I’m sorry.” I glance up at his chisel face.
“I know Anna-”
“No, I-I don’t even know if… you want this…” I mutter and stumble over my words.
“Don’t you ever say that.” He looks down at me, into my eyes. His thumb gently wipes a tear from my cheek, and I lean into him.
