Maxwell's POV

Ugh...why does my head hurt? I groaned as soon as I tried to roll over. When I noticed that I am trapped against something hard. Opening my eyes, I squint at the bright light flooding the room. Turning my head to the side, I look to see what is trapping me on the bed. What I see is my mate, Principal Summer, snuggled right up against me asleep.

Looking at his face I am flooded with the memories of last night and early morning. My hand unconsciously moved to my stomach when I remembered him telling me that I was pregnant. Tears came to my eyes as I thought of the life growing inside of me. Never would I have thought that I, a male, would be able to bear a child. Rubbing my belly, I took a quick look around my mate's bedroom.

It was furnished quite beautifully. The walls were a deep rich brown and the surrounding furniture was a dark mahogany. The curtains weren't drawn, but I could tell that they were a dark red. Everything in the room seemed to mesh well together. Even the bed, although it is my dream bed. A princess canopy bed. With elegant carvings of dragons and fairies etched on the posts.

“ To be exact, they are pixies. A couple of centuries ago, a seer told me that a bed like this would please my mate."

A squeal left my mouth when I heard his deep rumbling voice next to my ear. I would have jumped but his arm held me secure. Hearing him chuckle at my obvious fright. Made me my blush spread all over my face. Turning my gaze back to his I got lost in his intense look.

With a small smile gracing his face, he leaned in and gave me one of the sweetest kisses I have ever had. As I was about to return the kiss my bladder decided to make itself known. Noticing my squirming Carmine released me with another of his deep chuckles.

Jumping up quickly I headed to the ensuite bathroom. After taking care of my bladder I washed my hands and was drying them when Carmine walked in and headed straight for the toilet. Squeaking, I turned my gaze in the opposite direction. As soon as I heard him flush I dared to turn my gaze back to him. And when I did I noticed that he was completely naked and so was I.

This time my blush seemed to have covered from my head down to my feet. Shifting my eyes to my toes, so that I didn't have to look into his intense gaze. I didn't notice that he was already standing next to me and holding a toothbrush and some toothpaste in his hands.

Slowly taking them from his hands I started to brush my teeth as quickly as possible. Still with no words being spoken between us. We moved back to the bedroom in a comfortable silence. Standing in the middle of the room, I started to fidget seeing as I didn't have any other clothes than the ones he ripped off of me the night before.

When a hand holding a shirt appeared under my nose, it startled me so bad I jumped about a foot in the air. Taking the shirt from him with a shaking hand. I hurriedly pull it on. I swam in it. One of the shoulders slipped to the side, and it came to rest on top of my knees. A finger appeared in front of me and brought my chin up. So that I could meet his gaze. What I saw as I looked into his eyes, made my breath hitch and my own eyes water.

Carmine's gaze was filled with lust, affection and most importantly love. No words seemed to want to come forth. When a few tears escaped and a choking noise came from my throat, he gathered me into his arms and murmured soothing words. When my breathing slowed down Carmine picked me up bridal style and carried me to the kitchen.

As soon as he set me down he went to the fridge and grabbed a couple bags of blood and a few other things. Popping a bag to his teeth. He quickly set about making breakfast. The smells that were coming from the stove were quickly making my stomach growl. But when he added eggs to the skillet my stomach flipped and churned so quickly that I only had enough time to get to the back door and a few steps beyond it. Before releasing only stomach acid from my empty tummy.

A soothing hand was rubbing my back. And quiet words said above my heaving form.

“ Ok. I guess eggs are off the menu." He jokingly said.

I giggled weakly. Not having a lot of strength to stand up, he helped me back into the cabin and to the downstairs bathroom. He left me as I was rinsing my mouth out with some mouthwash, to get rid of the eggs. And to air the kitchen out. As I was entering the kitchen a knock sounded at the front door. With a soft push to one of the kitchen chairs and a command to eat. Carmine headed to the door. Snorting in amusement I just shake my head and dig into my food.

Biting into one of the sausages on the plate I heard a few voices coming from the living room. Not recognizing any of the voices but that of Carmine's I try to hurry up and finish my food. But I quickly got distracted when I forked up some of the most amazing pancakes I have ever tasted before. Moans spilled out of my mouth in utter delight.

But as I was about bite into my second piece a screech filled the air and my food was thrown against the wall. Turning my head I looked at the stupid banshee who dared to throw my food. She would have been beautiful if it wasn't for the way her face was screwed up in rage and fury.

“ How dare this filthy animal eat my mate's food!" She screeched. I just stared at her in confusion. Before her words registered in my head. With my own rage boiling, I quickly stood up making my chair crash to the floor. Unknowingly to me, my eyes were flashing silver. I got right up in her nasty face and hissed at her.

“ I am not a filthy animal, I am a Dragon. And also bitch! Carmine is my mate and that food was made for me not you." I was about to lunge at her when Carmine wrapped his strong yummy arms around me. He pressed his delicious body up against me which quickly resulted in me moaning to my utter embarrassment. Trying to shake my naughty thoughts out of my head. I tuned back into the conversation being held around me just in time to hear my mate say to to that nasty banshee.

“ Mira, you know that you and I aren't mates. Maxwell here is my mate. Not you. And coming into my home with council members and insulting my pregnant mate. Will not endear you to me. Bringing council members to mine and my mates home, to try and force a mating between us is despicable. One of the lowest things a vampire can do." As he was reprimanding her, his hands moved to my tummy and tried to sooth me by rubbing circles around my tummy. But his next words made a giddy smile stretch across my face and made the banshee's flush even more in rage.

“ Now I suggest that you leave here before I let my Dragon mate loose on you." He said scornfully at her. If steam could come out anyone's ears it would have been hers when she rushed out of the cabin. Once she was gone Carmine picked up my chair and set me back in it. A few minutes later he set another plate of food in front of me.

“ Eat pixie. Me and the council members will be in the living room when you are done."

With a quick kiss to my forehead he strode out of the room. Shrugging my shoulders I dug into my new plate of yummy food. When I got done I put my plate in the dishwasher after rinsing it off. Drying my hands I quickly walked into the living room.

As I was about to step into the room. I heard Carmine's raised voice and I was shocked to my core when I saw him so livid. Clearing my throat I asked.

“ What is going..."
