Pregnant

MALIA’S POV
I sat upright and rubbed my eyes feeling disoriented. Then after stretching, I somehow didn’t remember what Ryder had said to me so I lay back down and closed my eyes in sleep.
I heard his deep chuckle and this time, he pulled me into a sitting position and held me in place.
I moaned in protest. I wasn’t done sleeping yet and I just wanted him to go away.
“You’ve had enough sleep for now, my love. Besides, it’s time for dinner already and guess who has come to join us?” he asked.
I tried rubbing my eyes again but he stopped me. “You’re going to hurt your eyes if you’re not careful,” he said.
“And I’m going to heal almost immediately because I am a werewolf,” I replied groggily.
“You and your smart mouth,” he chortled. “Anyway, since you’re not interested in playing the guessing game, I am just going to tell you.”
After a dramatic pause, he spoke. “My sister is here and she’s joining us for dinner.”
I instantly became wide awake, remembering that Ryder and I were supposed to go to her chambers that day but I had fallen asleep instead.
He laughed at the way my eyes suddenly lit up and I jumped out of bed. “I think I need to brush my teeth and have a bath. I promise I won’t be long.”
I hurried to the bathroom without waiting for a response and made sure to use the best-smelling shower gel. Then I attacked my teeth with a brush. I knew how bad one’s breath could smell when they have been asleep for a long period.
It would be terrible if Ryder’s sister’s first impression of me was a smelly breath.
I dried my hair as best as I could within a short time and moisturized it with oil.
Ryder regarded me with a scowl as I did all I could to look and smell really nice.
“One would think you’re trying to impress a man. Besides, you never do this for me,” he grumbled and I giggled.
“Ryder Hawkins, please do not tell me that is jealousy that I hear.”
“I’m not going to tell you,” he murmured. “Now can we go?” he queried.
“Just one last look in the mirror, please,” I begged but he wasn’t having it.
My feet were firmly planted on the ground one second and the next second, I was in his arms.
“You’re going to pay for how intoxicating you look tonight with your sweat glands, every part of your body and your voice,” he growled.
“Is that supposed to be a threat, Alpha Hawkins?” I asked in amusement.
“No, it is not a threat my sweet. It is a promise,” he replied. The way he said it made me shiver in anticipation.
I smelled her before I saw her. We got to the dining room and I wriggled in Ryder’s arms so that he would put me down.
She was already seated at the table and rose to her feet when she saw us.
I didn’t know when a gasp slipped from my lips. She curtseyed and rose back up as gracefully as a gazelle. I had actually never seen a gazelle before but I knew that that phrase was meant for her.
“Malia, meet Aurora, my sister. And sister, meet my Queen, Malia.”
As if in a trance, my legs moved of their own accord to her seat. She had vibrant emerald green eyes that put the emerald stone to shame. It was as though her eyes were the original emerald and the stone was just a counterfeit.
Her rich, silky dark tresses fell to her waist in waves and framed a face that was perfection.
“The Moon Goddess must have been super ecstatic on the day that she made you.”
I didn’t realize that I had spoken aloud until I heard Ryder’s laughter.
Her cheeks stained prettily and she gave me the sweetest smile I had ever seen. It was a crime for someone to be that pretty.
“Thank you. You are very stunning yourself,” she replied. Her voice was soft like petals and silky smooth. I could listen to her speak all day and not get tired of it.
“Ladies, please let us eat. You can keep on ogling each other when we are done with our meal,” Ryder said in an amused tone.
Aurora and I giggled and I settled on the chair beside her. I just had to.
Ryder smirked. “Aurora, I might have to charge you with treason for trying to steal my Luna,” he joked.
“I wouldn’t dream of it,” she replied with a mischievous glint in her eyes.
“But I must say, Ryder, you have a competition,” I said.
“I know you don’t mean that. The things that I can do to you, she can only dream off,” he replied smugly.
“Ryder,” I gasped. I didn’t know whether to be amused, turned on or irritated. “She is just a kid. You mustn’t say such things in front of her,” I scolded.
He smirked. “She’s seventeen. Barely a kid. But you have nothing to worry about. I don’t think she understands. Or do you?” he asked, fastening his eyes upon her.
She shook her head but I could tell from the twinkle in her lovely eyes, that she did.
Throughout the course of the meal, I noticed that she didn’t speak unless she was being spoken to. She was far from shy though. Just reserved. The way she carried herself and how she answered questions revealed how intelligent and witty she was. She was just so charming. I wondered how anyone could hate someone like her. If I was her father, I would have come to claim her a long time ago.
I wondered if Ryder was ever going to let Ronan see her. My heart broke for him. I knew he’d want to see her.
If Ryder ever allowed me to go see him, I was definitely going to take a picture of her to show to him.
Dinner time ended sooner than I wanted. I just wanted the evening to go on and on. She was such a delightful company. We had to bid her goodnight anyway.
Ryder threw me over his shoulder immediately the door closed and I shrieked.
“Put me down,” I ordered.
“Of course, I eventually will when we get to the bedroom,” he replied.
“I warned you. I bet you thought I was kidding,” he said as he threw me on top of the bed.
I tried to crawl away but he caught me and I screamed in excitement.
“Yeah babe, that’s it. But I promise you, you’re going to scream louder than that when I start with you.”
My dress was ripped off my body faster than I could blink. My panties were ripped to shreds and he was soon on top of me, devouring my breasts just as his fingers travelled down to my slick entrance.
He pumped his fingers hard and fast inside of me and I screamed at the top of my voice.
If the whole palace didn’t hear me the other day I was being fucked, I was sure that they did now.
I came hard and while I was still trembling from the intense orgasm, he took off his clothes and plunged himself deep inside me, nearly driving me to a climax.
I wrapped my legs around him and grabbed his butt, urging him to go faster and harder.
The next orgasm hit me so hard that I was certain that I saw stars.
He climaxed seconds after and I guess it felt so good because his eyes turned red and he sank his fangs into my neck. Ouch!
We fell asleep right after and didn’t wake up until the sunlight shone through the gap between the curtains and hit our faces.
I groaned and got up to close the gap before returning to bed. “We have to get up,” Ryder murmured and my toes curled at how sexy his voice sounded.
“Do we?” I asked, snuggling closer to him. I allowed my fingers to travel to his already hard dick and giggled when it moved.
“Yes we do,” he answered, gently moving my hand away. “If you don’t stop doing that, I’m going to fuck you again. All day. We’re going to end up not getting anything done.”
“What if I don’t want us to get anything done?” I quizzed.
“I’m not going to allow you to tempt me you little minx,” he replied, rolling out of bed.
I groaned at the thought of getting out of bed but I knew I had to. I had to start my training.
I entered the bathroom immediately after he exited but not before spanking his ass.
By the time I got dressed, breakfast had already been served.
He pointed to the larger portion with a smirk. “That’s yours.”
I scowled at him as I sat down and began devouring my meal. I asked for some more but he told me I could eat all I wanted not before training but after.
“I don’t want to risk you throwing up all over yourself, or worse, all over me.”
I made a face at him. “You’re just so cute,” he said with a grin, “but cuteness is not what is going to defeat the enemy so let’s go train.”
He stood up and walked out the door without even turning to check if I was following.
We ended up doing a training session in a wide clearing in the forest that was quite close to the river.
Ryder, unsurprisingly, turned out to be a very good teacher. Far better than Lucien. I did not have this opinion just because I was in love with him but because, in truth, he was a masterful teacher.
We trained for about an hour and went for a swim afterwards. I ended up bruising Ryder while we were in the water but it was totally his fault.
I had kept my eyes closed and gotten quite lost in the soothing feel of the water when I felt something poke my butt. I had thought that it was a shark so I acted on my instincts and kicked hard.
“How could you have mistaken me for a shark?” he queried as he got dressed.
“Oh please. Tell me that it wasn’t your intention to make me think that way,” I returned.
His lips were pressed into a thin line but his eyes danced with laughter. I should have hit him harder. The bruise was already nearly healed.
“Let’s just return to the palace. I have to sort out some things as regards your coronation ceremony which is in a week’s time,” he said.
I rolled my eyes and followed closely behind him as we made our way out of the forest.
We arrived at the palace and Ryder left his chambers soon after he had his bath. I was left all alone again. I had to train myself to get used to it in order not to be seen as being too clingy or needy.
My eyes brightened as I thought of going to Penelope’s. I just had to tell her about Aurora. But no amount of words could perfectly describe the lovely creature that was Aurora. She had to meet her in person.
As expected, my bodyguard was outside waiting for me. He gave me a bow and I merely nodded to acknowledge his presence. Whatever moment we had the previous day was to be buried and forgotten.
I knocked on the door and a pink-stained cheek Penelope opened the door. She seemed a little bit breathless.
“Am I interrupting something?” I asked and she shook her head.
“Don’t just stand there. Come on in,” she said and I narrowed my eyes in suspicion.
It was when I got in that I realized she had been practising some yoga moves.
“Since when did you start doing yoga?” I queried as she folded her yoga mat and paused the yoga video that had been playing on the television.
“Well, since when I realized just how much flexibility could improve sex,” she replied.
I giggled. “I didn’t think you loved sex that much. You’ve always struck me as a prude when it came to sex. I bet you were even a virgin before Damien. Or am I wrong?”
She scoffed. “No comment. You can choose to believe whatever you want to.”
“Don’t worry. I know I am right,” I said.
She snorted. “Just give me a few minutes, I’ll be right back.”
I watched as she sauntered to the bathroom and commented on how cute her ass was.
She paused to jiggle it a little bit before disappearing into the bathroom and I burst out laughing.
“Please tell me you have seen her,” I began as soon as she stepped out of the bathroom.
“Seen who?” she asked with her eyebrows furrowed together and made her way towards the walk-in closet.
I followed her in and she gave me a pointed look.
“What? It’s not as if this is the first time I’ll be seeing you naked,” I said.
She smirked. “But this is the first time you’d be seeing me pregnant.”
