Still shocked on hearing the news, I turned my head to look at Azrael. Seeing her stare at the healer with slight wide eyes, not moving an inch where she stood.

Looking back at the healer, she bowed her head. "If that is all, Anassa Alpha, shall I take my leave."
Azrael snapped out of it, clearing her throat and nodded her head. "Umm, yes. That is all, you may leave."

The healer bowed her head again before silently turning and heading for the door, opening and closing it behind her.

Hearing a sigh, I turned my head back to my mate to see her sitting on the bed. Running her fingers through her hair.

After a moment, I guess she felt me staring at her so Azrael turned to look at me. Without saying a word, she leaned forward and placed a hand on my face. That's when I realize that I was sitting up.

"Why didn't you tell me." I tilted my head in confusion. "About what? That I was pregnant? I didn't know I was pregnant until now."

Azrael huffed, her thumb rubbing my cheek. "Not that, litter flower. Why didn't you tell me that you were in pain from your wolf fighting to be let out?"

I turned away, not wanting to look at her. "I-I didn't want to bother you about something so small. You're already stressed about your queen stuff and those long meetings."

Azrael sighed, moving her hand from my cheek to grab my chin. Gently forcing me to look back at her. "I wouldn't have mind if you have told me about the pain, Iris. Your well being is the most important thing to me."

Removing her hand, I didn't turn away as Azrael leaned down and placed her forehead against mine. Noses together. "And now that we are expecting, I don't want any more secrets between us, okay my love?

She placed a hand over my flat stomach, looking me straight in the eye in which I didn't look away from, reached up and tracing a finger over the scar on her lips. "Okay. No more secrets."

Azrael smiled, giving me a small kiss on my lips. "Thank you my love." She pulled back, her expression becoming more serious.

"Now, mind telling me what is going on with your wolf? Mostly on why she's fighting you so much so that you're feeling pain." I sighed, down casting my gaze and stared down at my lap.

After a moment of not saying anything, I saw Azrael's hand reached over and grabbed my own. Firmly but gently squeezing it. "It's alright, Iris. You can tell me."

Humming in agreement, I slowly began telling her. Everything. To the abuse I suffered daily, the order I received that made me unable to shift, and the punishment I received from every little thing. Ending on when I first laid eyes on her.

When all was said and done, I was at a loss of breath from speaking for so long. Feeling a weight  I didn't even notice was there be lifted off my shoulders.

But, growing nervous when Azrael didn't say anything after I was finished, I lifted my head to see what was wrong.

The Alpha's eyes were dark and her body slightly shook from anger. Like she was holding herself and her wolf back. She seemed unfocused, lost in her own thoughts as her hand holding mine tightens its grip.

Worried that she was going to destroy things or hurt someone, I slipped out from under the blanket and crawled over to her, settling myself down on my mate's lap. Looking up at her.

That seemed to snap her out of it, through her eyes were still dark and slightly hazy as she focus her attention on me.

"I'm alright now, Az. With you by my side, I have nothing to fear. I know that you will protect me from now on." I softly smiled, reaching up to play with a strand of her black hair.

Azrael tilted her head, wrapping her arms around my waist and pull me closer towards her. "Mine." She leaned down, pressing her nose against my hair, taking in my scent to calm herself. "No one will ever lay a finger on you again, little mate. No one."

I smiled, rubbing my face against Azrael's chest. After a moment of us cuddling together, a through suddenly hit me and my smile turned ino a small grin.

Placing on a hand on Azrael's chest, I slowly traced it down. Azrael shifted underneath me and her arms around me tighten as I placed my hand over her now grown bulged.

And with just one squeeze, I was suddenly on my hands and knees, Azrael over me. She growled in my ear, one hand on my hip with the other planted next to mine, keeping her upright. Her bulged now against my heat.

"Don't start anything you can't finish, little mate." She stated with that rough voice of hers that send shivers down my spine and made me wet. "You are unwell and I do not want to make it worse by," she snarled. "fucking you from dawn to dusk."

Feeling Azrael moving away from me, I sighed in disappointment. Leaning down and laying on the bed, turning over to face her. "You're so cruel."

I pouted in which Azrael growled, eyes narrowing. "I worry for your health, little mate. That doesn't not make me cruel."

"Yes it does."

Sighing, the big cruel Alpha went to lay down next to me. Pulling me into her arms and pulling the blanket over us. "Think what you want, little flower. But your insults don't affect me in the slightest."

"If our pup comes out like you, all cruel and mean, you're going to sleep on the floor for a month."
