Se connecter“Breathe, Isa. The council are good people now. They have been on their best behaviour since their apology, and have been extremely helpful to the pack, like they are meant to be. You have nothing to worry about,” I whispered soothingly, rubbing her back in gentle, circular motions. She sighed, reaching out to smooth out her furrowed temples. “I know. I know I have nothing to worry about, but I just… I have been feeling very restless lately, and my instincts keep screaming at me. The fact that they sent an official missive to request for a meeting rather than just coming here like they usually do makes me even more edgy.”Isadora might not be willing to confront her feelings about why she had been restless and edgy for a while now, but I knew the reason. It was because of her pregnancy. Ever since we had that conversation about the scientist and the experiments carried out on her, she had been a little bit in her head. Sometimes, my Little wolf would just zone out in the middle of
No. They would not. Elias would not do that to me. “What did you just say?” I asked, my words coming out as a whisper. He seemed to realise that he had fucked up, that he said the wrong words. Elias paled even further as he took a step towards me. “Isadora…”I stepped away from him. “How dare you? How fucking dare you?”He shook his head, panic settling on his face. “No. Please don’t misunderstand me. That is not what I meant.”A scoff slipped past my lips. “There was no other fucking way to understand what you said.”“Isadora please. Please calm down, sit down, and let me explain to you. I would never hurt you, baby. And you know that so just give me a chance to explain, okay?”I could feel tears forming at the back of my eyes, trying to push their way to the front, but I held them back. Instead, I sniffed and held his gaze, folding my arms over my chest. “Go on.”He pinched the bridge of his nose before starting his explanation. “When we found out about the lab and the experime
“Seriously, Erina?” a sigh slipped past my lips, and it was more resigned than frustrated. My mate’s cousin eyed me seriously. “You either let me come with you, or you stay home here. With me. I am not letting you out of my sight either way.”I shook my head as I plopped back down on the couch. The fact that I thought Elias had been protective of me before was laughable. Whatever that was in the past was a very watered down version. The side of him that I was seeing now was way more intense. It was as though a switch had been switched in his brain since I told him about the pregnancy. “You guys are going to drive me crazy,” I muttered under my breath, but loud enough for Erina to hear. She plopped down beside me, offering me a plate of crackers. “I know it sounds like we are making this a big deal, but you need to understand things from our perspective. It is a very lucky occurrence, the fact that you are pregnant.”I raised my eyebrows at her words, popping a cracker into my mout
“Are you sure you are going to be okay?” Isadora asked, her brows furrowed into a frown. I smiled as I leaned down to kiss her.“Stop fussing, little wolf. I will be okay. This should not take long,” I responded. But the frown on her face only got deeper. “What if he has created another bunch of those creatures again? What if you get in contact with that awful poison again? You just got out of the hospital. Elias, you know I don't want you to go on this mission. It's too dangerous.” I sighed and sat back down on the bed, tugging her to sit beside me. “Isadora. I am going to be perfectly okay. I have already cut off all the sources of that man, and he cannot have access to enough people to create monsters again. I am going to be fine, I promise. Please stop worrying about me.”She sighed and took my hands in hers. “Let me go with you.”I shook my head. “Absolutely not. You are in a very fragile position. I would never risk your life like that. Just stay here and wait for me, okay? Er
My heart stopped in my chest. Isadora was pregnant. The dream I had was not just a dream. It was the truth. Isadora was pregnant for me. I was going to be a father. I was going to have a son. Happiness slammed into me so hard that it made me dizzy, my vision blurring for one glorious second. I was going to be a father!Someone let out a whoop so loud that it shook me out of my head, only to find out that the sound came from me. I made a noise. The whoop escaped from my lips. I grabbed Isadora and pulled her into a tight hug, then remembered that she was pregnant. I pulled back instantly, and when I met her gaze, the relief in them was so visible that it made me pause for a moment. Then something she said earlier finally made sense to me. The bit about ‘And I think it's important for you to know now so that if you do not want it, then we can make arrangements here to take it away.’“Wait a minute. You thought I was not going to be happy about the baby?’I asked. She held my gaze as
“We have to keep him here for a little while. Just enough to know that there is no poison left in his bloodstream. His nerves and muscles are also not back in their full shape yet, so we will keep him on his usual medication a little longer. But the danger has passed now, and you have absolutely nothing to worry about, Ms Isadora.”The doctor had a kind smile on his face as he spoke, his gaze trained on my mate. Isadora shook his hand. “Thank you. Thank you so much. I appreciate everything you did,” her voice dripped with gratitude, her shoulders slightly hunched as she watched him leave. When the door closed behind the doctor, Isadora turned to face me. I held out my hands.“Come here,” I said softly. She hesitated for a second. “You are not fully recovered. The doctor said your muscles are still weak from the effect of that poison.”I raised my eyebrows at her. “It's just a hug, Little wolf. Also, did you not throw your arms around me the minute you saw that I was awake?”Her ch
Ashton left with the children shortly after that, and it wasn’t until Elias walked back into the room that I suddenly found it hard to speak.I hadn’t cried since the incident, mostly because I didn’t think there was anything to cry about, but after seeing that boy, after holding him in my hands, t
Elias made good on his words over the next few days.We practically existed in our own little bubble for five whole days, and each day was a thousand times better than the last.I feared that each day would be the last, that someone would interrupt our solemn bubble, but it never came, and I’d fina
I wasn’t sure how long I was out.As I slowly came to, I couldn’t help but feel a wave of irritation at the crickets chirping outside and the discomfort of the couch.It took me a long minute to realize that I couldn’t hear any crickets, and I wasn’t on an uncomfortable couch.My eyes flew open imm
The people stared as we drove past. They didn’t even try to hide the fact that they were.I didn’t want to step out of the car at all, and I honestly wouldn’t have if it weren’t for Carlos practically dragging me out of the car.“Carlos,” I hissed as we walked through the throngs of soldiers. “I wa
