Chapter 48

Adrian’s Pov

‘What’s wrong with me?’

My mates question caught me off guard, the soup I had planned on making her no longer on my mind as I felt my eyes widen dramatically as I thought about what the hell I was going to say.

On one hand the last thing I wanted to do was lie to my mate, not when I had spent as long as I had gaining her trust, but to tell her that she was pregnant, with my child was something that had my wolf both purring in delight and whimpering at the thought of how our mate would react to the news.

Perhaps I should have told her right away, rather than  hidden it for her even if I believed it had been the right thing to do at the time.

Knowing it was too late to ask ‘what if’ I swallowed thickly, knowing without a doubt that I had no other choice but to come clean. I just hoped that she reacted in a positive light rather than a negative one.

Taking a deep breath, I mentally sent off an order for everyone to flee the house. They did so instantly.

Sweeping my angel into my arms I made sure the stove was off before taking her into the living room, gently placing her on what had become known as our loveseat as I braced myself for what was to come. I think it gave her an even firmer sense of belonging, to have a specific place she can call her own.

Kneeing down on the floor in front of her I looked into her rare amber eyes, adoring the uniqueness that was my mate. I loved the fact she was different, that she was special.

“You remember when we went to see Lisa,” I started before continuing when she nodded. “Well, when you left the room she told me some things, about why you have been feeling as tired as you have lately.”

Looking at me with bright and curious eyes I hoped to God that she took this well.

“She told me t-that the reason for it is because you’re carrying my pup, our pup.”

She was silent; her lack of reaction leading me to believe that she was in shock as she simply stared at me with those wide eyes of hers. She looked utterly confused, and I could practically see her mind whirling as she tried to process what I had just told her.

“Is she sure?”

I jumped slightly when she spoke, her tone laced with nervousness and fear as she curled her hands in her lap where I was still kneeling in front of her. She hadn’t said a word for what had to be at least ten minutes, her sudden question making me breathe a sigh in relief that at least she didn’t looked disgusted with the idea of carrying my young.  I hadn’t thought she would have been, but it was still an insecurity I couldn’t help but worry over.

I nodded. “I wanted to tell you before, but I didn’t want you to worry or stress, especially with everything that’s happened these last few months and…” I rushed out, needing her to hear why I had kept it from her in the first place.

I hoped she could hear how sincere I felt.

“I-“she started before cutting herself off, looking down at her lap as she played with her hands. “I know you were trying to protect me” she whispered slowly under her breath before looking up at me with pleading and hopeful eyes. “Are you happy?”
