ANNABELLA’S POV
The car halted the moment I flipped my eyes open. I scanned around and realized we were back to the pack, and it was already morning.
” Good morning.” I tried to pull up a bit in my seat but froze when I heard the familiar voice whisper.
I let myself relax when I saw the two excitement lingering in his dark blue eyes. I didn’t know what I was expecting, but seeing his handsome face early in the morning beside me made me feel at ease. I nearly thought last night was a mere dream but it turned out to be true.
I was really with him, Roman and I spent the night together in his car. My eyes watered, realizing how much I had been craving him.
How much I have missed him the past few days. Taking a closer look at him, he was the same as before, but I think he was much more handsome than before. His eyelashes seemed longer, and his eyes appeared a bit brighter.
Staring at his disheveled short white hair, I wish I could run my hand through it. I wondered how it would be to run my hands through them; they seemed softer and very attractive. ‘ Didn’t you do that last night?’ Eve asked sarcastically and I frowned. ‘ I did?’
‘ Yes, you did. I understand if you don’t remember.’ she mocked, her tone dripping with sarcasm.
Did I? I was trying to recall it.
” Last night….”I bit on my bottom lip as the wild scene from last night visited my memory. It overflowed, and I suddenly recalled the whole scene; I indeed ran my hands through his hair just like Eve said.
“You want to say something?” I pulled my bottom lip into my mouth.” Are you still angry with me?” staring back into his eyes, I finally understood him. I knew he did all that for my good, I shook my head immediately. How could I be angry after all, everything he did was to protect me.
And I was grateful he didn’t let any harm come to me and the little wolf inside me.
I haven’t even confirmed my pregnancy yet!
” I can arrange for a medical test if you want.” He suggested and I nodded.” That will be great.” I needed to confirm it first before making any plans, not like I didn’t trust his instinct.
I rubbed my hand on my flat belly.
” I will take you to see the pack doctor.”
” I don’t think that is necessary.”
” Are you scared?” He grabbed my hand, and I immediately felt the tangles shooting through my veins and crawling on my skin.” I just want to confirm it myself first.” he frowned, his eyes staring at me as if waiting for further explanation.
” I will use a pregnancy test. I don’t want it to seem like a big deal. ” I was expecting him to say no after all, pregnancy tests were not as reliable as hospital tests, which go deep to give a final result.
” But it’s okay if you still want me to see the pack doctor.”
” I will get you the tube.” he unbuckled his seat belt, but I held his hand. ” You know?” I didn’t know why I was asking him that, but the moment he nodded, I felt a sting in my chest.
Did that mean he has used one before……
” I recently found out about it when I was doing research. Carolina suggested a few ways to confirm pregnancy.” He explained, and I raised a brow, feeling relieved.
Silly, I overthink things again.
” Are you okay?”
” I’m fine.” I was feeling a bit of pain in my neck area but nothing I couldn’t handle..” we can visit the pack doctor if you are not.” as if he knew I was lying, the worry in his gaze made me smile; having his love and full attention was the best thing I have ever achieved.
” Nothing can happen to you.” He leaned closer and clapped his palm against my belly.” Is he moving?” I was curious.
” He is still forming.”
” How did you know it’s a he?” I frowned. ” He is my blood, remember?” yes, an alpha! I almost rolled my eyes.
A sudden knock came on the window and Roman rolled it down a little.” We waited the whole night.” It was Vincent, his gaze settled on me and a small smile formed on his lips.” Luna Bella.” He acknowledged me before his gaze went back to Roman who immediately rolled up the the glass window.
” What are we doing here? ” I asked and Roman leaned in to place a kiss on my forehead.” I will drop the meds and drive you back right away.” He rubbed my face, his thumb creasing my cheek.” Meds?” I was confused; what kind of meds, and why was he the one delivering them?
” The hospital needs them.” He didn’t say much, but I recalled what Madeline said, and I immediately knew they were for the injured warriors.
” Is it serious?” I grabbed his hand, stopping him from stepping out. Instead of replying to me, he got hold of my hand and raised it to his lips before leaving a tender kiss behind my knuckles.” I will get you home in no time.” He assured.
Even though that wasn’t the reply I was hoping for, I felt joy in my heart with the new wave of excitement that blew inside me. His gentle kiss and the tender look that appeared in his eyes each time he stared at me made my inside throb in excitement.
Maybe Madeline was right, I misunderstood him. Roman wasn’t as bad as the world believer he was.
I stepped down from the car in his black leather jacket.” Alpha Roman…” Carolina’s lips hung open the moment she saw me, especially in Roman’s Jacket, not the kind of expression expected from a pack doctor, though.
I was sure his scent was all over me but who cares? I was his fated mate.
” How are the warriors doing?” Roman asked, his tone was different from when he was talking to me.
Did I just say differently?
It took me a long time to see beyond the physical, but it was not too late.
” A lot better and I think they will recover in no time.” Vincent was the one who replied.
” I don’t think you have anything to worry about now that the meds have arrived. All emergency treatment will start immediately, I assure you that.” Carolina added and couldn’t help but admire her professionalism which I hoped she would maintain because I wouldn’t tolerate any unnecessary closeness.” Let’s get you clean up.” He turned to me, grabbed my hand, and whispered to me in a voice only I understood.
My core throbbed underneath me, and I suddenly felt the urge to kiss him, but he did that before I could make a move.
He dropped a soft kiss on my forehead and effortlessly carried me in his arms.” Aren’t we visiting the warriors?” I asked but he didn’t say a word and only walked over to the car.
He dropped me in my seat and helped me tire the seat belt.
He started the car engine.
The drive back to the main pack house was quiet but not boring. His hand didn’t let go of mine, not like I wanted him to let go.
It turned out that a long shower was what I needed; I felt a lot better after spending almost an hour in the bathtub.
I thought Madeline was going to assist me with the test since it was my first but I was surprised when I saw Roman holding the new test result in his hand. I hurriedly got off the toilet seat and pulled my dress down.” W-why are you here?”
” I will assist you.” he stepped forward, and I shut my eyes, feeling a bit embarrassed.
I thought I called for Madeline so why was Roman here instead? I stared back at the urine. I just pee in the toilet.” I will do it.” Before I could react, he went down on one knee and dropped the fresh test in the toilet, and after a few seconds, he pulled it out.
I stared anxiously at the test in his hand, waiting for him to tell me what the result was because the expression on his face didn’t explain muck.” Here,” he dropped the test in my palm and the two lines on it had turned red, which indicated I was indeed pregnant!
With Roman’s heir!
” I want us to have more kids in the future.” he pulled me into his embrace, his forehead resting against mine after he pulled away.” I want five kids, and I want to have them with you.” his warm breath fanned my face.
” Five?”
” What, are you scared you will grow tired?” he cubbed my face in both palms. ” I’m here for you, I will always be here alongside you.” he kissed my upper lip gently.
” I can consider the number if you think it’s too, much,” he spoke, his hand slipping down to my thighs.
” Let’s go have breakfast, you need to eat.” he kisses the tip of my ears, leaving me shaking in my spots.
We cuddled each other on the large sofa in the living room after breakfast. He promised to spend as much time as he could with us.
The day was going great until a sudden call came through his phone, disturbing the quietness in the room.
