“You’re with child my child.” She says to me all relaxed.
OMGoddess..
I was pregnant.
“I’m with child? It’s only been a few hours! How can you tell?” I ask her and she laughs.
“You are aware that it takes 6months for a wolf child to be born right? You have the scent too but it’s not too strong. I’m not even sure if Max will let you fight if he finds out” my mom jokes.
“Oh goddess. I’m not even sure if it rained mother. Does this mean my child is not blessed?” I ask her.
We stay quiet for a while both lost in thought.
“You are carrying a powerful child in there and people are aware you completed the mating with Max. If it had rained, you’d be in even more danger. That child could be taken from you.” She speaks.
That’s right. Reginald’s brother wanted me for the same reason, to give him strong pups.
“Mother, what am I going to do? I don’t even know what to think!” I speak.
“You’ll be fine. I’ll be here, Nana will be here, Max will be by your side. You’ll be fine.” She says and pulls me in for a hug.
I’m pregnant. I’m pregnant.
“You’re pregnant?” I hear Max ask me over the mind link.
Oh boy…
Max burst through the door running to me. He pulls me away from my mother and in his arms. He rests his head in the crook of my neck and takes in my scent.
“You are carrying my child” he says to me. He was sure of it now.
“You’ll still let me fight right?” I ask him. Male wolves are very protective of their pups and Max is a Lycan alpha. I don’t think I’ll be lifting a finger for the next 6 months.
“Baby, I’m a smart man. I’m smart enough to know that if I say you can’t fight, you’ll put yourself out there. Although it’s pretty reassuring that you’re the strongest one in the pack.” He says to me then kisses my forehead.
It feels so good to feel him holding me. All those sparks all over my body. Within seconds, the door bursts open and Josey runs in.
“You’re pregnant???” Josey squeals running into the room, followed by her mates.
“You want to scream any louder for everyone in the pack house to hear?” I say dryly.
“I’m sorry I just got excited when I heard Max after I followed him up here when he ran out of the kitchen.” Josey says. See what I mean when I say she lives for drama??.
“We need to keep this between the family. Nobody else is to know.” My mother says pointing a finger at each of us. We all nodded in agreement.
Athena and I will have to work hard at masking my scent for some time.
‘I’m already on it’ Athena says to me. Of course. I expect nothing less from her.
Josey had already linked Cj and dad to Max’s room. We were all laughing and joking around with each other. Having my mother was the cherry on top of it all.
My mother. I never thought she’d be here.
Heck, I never thought I’d be a mother so soon either. This war had forced me to grow up so soon. I lost my virginity just last night on that bed and here we were talking baby names with the family.
Now I had my own family to protect. It wasn’t just Max and I, there was a little alpha growing in my belly and we had to protect him.
If I had any doubts before finding out I was pregnant, they are long gone. I’m going to fight for my little one.
Athena agreed with me. We were willing to kill. This time, we take no prisoners. They attack us, they die.
