Positive….
All freaking positive…. every single one of them….
I’m pregnant… I’M PREGNANT!
I can feel the unmistakable budding of excitement in my chest as I looked down at the tests in front of me, but the anxiety…was also unfortunately sparking…
Is this a moment where I should pop a smile? I can’t even bring myself to do that much.
Fuck. I keep thinking about whether he’ll like this or not. Well…I mean, he needs his heir to take over, so obviously he’ll want a child. But will he be ‘happy’? As in, does he really want a baby with me? Like Lora said, he might not even be fond of it.
Or am I thinking too much?
“Oye! Get out if you don’t want me to come get you.” A shout came from Ash along with the sound of fists banging against the bathroom door.
I sighed. She’s the last person I want to know about this, but the situation has already gone bad.
I slid the tests off the counter and into the trash bin beside it then sluggishly washed my hands at the sink, sighing for the second time.
I’ll throw those away soon.
When I pulled the door open, Ash was there with her hand on her hip and a glare in place. “How much time do you think we have to waste? The test literally takes less than five minutes, you’ve been in there for half an hour!”
“I didn’t ask you to wait. Besides, I only called for my brother, not you.” I pushed past her and went to plop down on the edge of the bed. I stared up at the ceiling, sighing again for the umpteenth time.
“So?” Lucas rose a brow. He was still sitting in the armchair, eyes trained on me. “Which is it?”
“Can’t you tell?” She butted in with a grin. “Her face says it all. You’re pregnant, aren’t you?”
I rolled my eyes.
“Is that a yes? Well then, I guess we have two pregnant women here!”
“Huh?” I blinked. Two pregnant women? Did I hear her right?
I looked between them both, astonishment swallowing my features. “Mom?! She’s literally in her late forties for fucks sake!”
“I’m talking about me, you shit! Me! Am I not a woman?!”
“Eh? You?” My jaws slackened, dumfounded.
I looked to Lucas, catching the light coat of red on his cheeks as he avoided my gaze, not a single word leaving his lips to refute her claims.
It’s confirmed, she isn’t lying!
“Well, I’m… totally shook!” My gaze swept over to her clothed stomach. “I honestly thought you didn’t like her…at all. I’ve literally never seen you both get along for more than five minutes! How the hell did she get pregnant?!”
“The same way you did.” Flipping her hair, she proudly pranced over to Lucas, sliding her hands down his shoulder. “Sex. He put his **** in my **** and he **** and **** …until we ****! Then he **** an—” Lucas flew up faster than I could toss my bedside lamp at her face and thankfully slapped his hands over her mouth, his face growing redder than a tomato.
“WHAT THE FUCK?!” My face scrunched up in disgust, “I didn’t need to hear all that! Lucas, why her?!”
“T-That…” He muttered, still not meeting my gaze, “…I didn’t plan for any of it…”
I’ve never seen him embarrassed before. I might puke, seriously!
“Ash, keep quiet.” He held her by the waist then sat back down in the chair, pulling her down with him and caging her in his lap with his arms.
She laughed, holding her arms up in surrender, “Fine fine. I’ll be good~”
My scowl deepened. This is an unpleasant scene for my eyes.
“So…” Lucas cleared his throat, “Congrats, I guess? But are you sure the Alpha doesn’t know?”
My brows pulled together. “How would he know? I don’t have much preggo signs yet and he’s barely around these days anyway. Ash, you got those?”
She tilted her head in thought, “Not really, but Lucas knew I was pregnant before I even took the test. I think it’s a werewolf kind of thing?”
“Huh? How? Lucas, did you like…sense it?”
“Sort of? I think? If you are really pregnant, then I think the Alpha already knows. You should talk to him.”
Wait… so, he knows…? That means he fucking knows?!
So then…why, why hasn’t he…said anything…? Does he really…not want it?

Around an hour of keeping me company, I managed to push Lucas out of my room and naturally, Ash followed behind him. He didn’t want to leave until Kasan got back but I really don’t like people seeing me in a shitty mood, especially those two. Ash would’ve definitely annoyed the heck out of me, and Lucas doesn’t know how to hide his pity.
Anyway, it’s dark out now and Kasan is still nowhere to be seen. If he doesn’t get here in the next five minutes, I’m gonna ham–
“DARLINGGG!”
On cue, a familiar enthusiastic voice sounded from outside the room along with footsteps rushing down the hall.
Speak of the devil.
A click was soon heard and the door slid open, Kasan waltzing in. He held up a few plastic bags dangling from his fingers as a broad grin sprouted on his lips. I didn’t return his energy but that didn’t stop him from bouncing over on the tip of his toes.
“Did you eat, babe?” He settled them on the chair in front of me, before leaning over and pecking me on the lips, “I bought almost everything they had on the menu so choose whichever you like. Fuck, I’m late, aren’t I? I’m almost finish handling things but I told Lucas to check up on you. Did you miss me?”
Almost finish, my ass! He’s been saying the same thing for a week now. Does he think I still believe that?!
Glaring, I drew my legs up to my chest and leaned back against the headboard, watching him as he took off his shoes. “Handling what exactly? What else have you been doing?”
“Just stuff, you know. There’s a lot to do.” He kicked the shoes aside and proceeded to pull his shirt over his head. Then to my utter surprise, the second he did…my nose happened to pick up on an unfamiliar scent.
Humans… women to be exact.
Of course, it isn’t a surprise that he has someone’s scent on him since he likes terrorizing anyone he sees like some tyrant, but women? He never smells like women.
Where the hell was he?
‘Mate’
My wolf whimpered at the back of my mind and suddenly, I could feel my head throb as she scratched at my consciousness, like something grating against my skull. She was practically begging to seize control, but I felt no violent tendencies from her this time, today…there’s nothing but unease and restlessness.
She is much like Ash when I think about it; violent and savage but soft and vulnerable when it comes to her mate. The unfamiliar scent on him might’ve caused her sudden mood. And she was already restless because he has barely been around us. Now, she’s pushing harder to get out.
Who’s scent is it? What have they been doing that it’s glued to him like this? This prick! I was already having a headache now he’s making it worse!
“Did you mingle with humans? Women? I can smell it.” I glared at him.
“Sort of. I just had some stuff to deal with.”
He’s being vague again…on purpose.
Why…? Where the hell has he really been?!
