THE ALPHA KING'S MATE ( BOOK)

CHAPTER 15

Jillian stopped Edric before they left the room.

"Edric, I would rather not tell anyone right now."

"Why? It is great news," he grinned at her.

"Yes, but how would my parents react if they found out, and I am not technically married?"

He stopped. "You are right I suppose. We should have a proper wedding.
When do you want it?"

"Let's wait a month. I don't want my parents thinking we got married too quickly, that I do have Stockholm Syndrome," she teased.

He chuckled. "Okay, one month, but they will wonder about you when you have the baby before we have been married six months.”

“Six months?”

“Yes, pups are born earlier than human babies, unless you have a human,” he mused. “I guess we shall see, huh?”

She nodded. “I just hope that I can carry him or her to full term without a miscarriage.”

“Oh, why do you say that?”

“My mom miscarried a lot, that is why she only had me,” Jillian shrugged.

“At least that is what she told me.”

“Well, we shall just have to make sure you take it easy so that you don’t,” he told her.

“I can still go to school though, can’t I?”

“I don’t know why not.”

“Thank you,” Jillian said, then yawned.

“I’m suddenly tired. Can we go home?”

He nodded and they headed to the waiting room.

"So?" Warren asked.

"What's going on?"

"Not sure," Edric shrugged.

"The Doc can't figure out Jillian's blood. He is going to run some tests and get back with us."

"So, she's not truly human after all," Emerson teased.

"Should have known."

"I wouldn't mind having another werewolf friend," Kimberly smiled.

"Not sure it's wolf," Jillian told her.

"He said it was different."

"Hmm, what could it be then?" Emerson asked.

"I wonder if the doc would let me look at the blood sample."

"You could ask him," Edric replied, "but I need to get my Luna home, she has had a long day, and I need to call her parents and cancel dinner."

He could tell she was exhausted. He was sure it was because her body was trying to heal, and now she was pregnant, she would be a lot more tired.

Jillian was glad he was going to call her parents, she wasn’t up to seeing them, and she didn't want them to know what had happened. They would insist on her moving back home, but she didn't want that. She liked where she was now.

Once in the limo, Edric called Jillian's mom.

"Mrs. Everett? This is Edric, look I called to cancel dinner. Jillian really isn't feeling up to it right now. Can we make it another day?"

"Sure," she replied.

"Just call and let us know. How is she doing by the way?"

He looked down at Jillian, who was fast asleep, leaning against him.
