Unbelievable (Sequel to Unexpected)

More

A deep uneasiness had settled between the two of them. Again.

Something in Charlotte told her to be cautious, extremely now that she knew why all of this happened. In the back of her mind she knew everything that happened since that night wasn't because Lana's family just wanted her to have a mate. She knew, god she knew there had to be some other reason. That reason now settled itself deep in her body and would join the real world in a few months. And if the poor thing later presented as an Alpha, Charlotte knew she'd never see them again. That's what this was all about and it infuriated her. She was just a body to be bred as far as Lana's family was concerned.

But she would be damned first if she let them go anywhere near the pup.

Charlotte's thoughts overwhelmed her that night. When they had gotten home, Lana made sure no one was around and suggested an early dinner and going to bed right after. Charlotte had been too tired and on edge to disagree. Now, she found herself tucked under Lana's comforter and on her side as she watched the Alpha move around her dark room. Well their room, Charlotte realized as she hadn't slept in the other room in over a week and she was sure Lana wouldn't let her anymore. Not that she wanted to sleep there anymore. Over the week, Charlotte had gotten more than use to sharing a bed with Lana and woke up more than often content to be tucked against her Alpha's side. If things were normal, she could let herself be completely use to it. But, something else was wrong and Lana wasn't telling her. She needed to know. Especially, if things were going to go how she wanted them to tonight.

"I'm not leaving." Charlotte looked up at Lana as she spoke. The other turned from where she had been pacing near the door. Lana's amber eyes met hers and Charlotte repeated herself. "I'm not leaving. Here or you or the pup. I don't know why you think I plan to because I'm not leaving and you're stuck with me" Lana's worried face softened and Charlotte could see the sadness in her eyes. "Please come to bed. I'm tired, you're tired. There's no point to be pacing or worrying more than you need to be. You can worry in the morning when I'm at school." Lana seemed to contemplate for a few seconds before moving away from the door and to the bed. She climbed under the blanket and Charlotte moved closer to her. Lana welcomed the contact and laid on her side, pulling Charlotte flush against her. This is okay, Charlotte thought nervously, I can do this. She moved even closer till her head was pressed against Lana's neck.

Lana didn't seem fazed by this and sighed into the movement. Charlotte could feel how tense the Alpha was. She gently pressed her lips to tan skin and moved one arm to grip Lana's hip. This felt odd for her to do, but Charlotte had a plan for tonight to make sure no one would get their hands on her or the pup. She just needed to get the nerve to do it. "What are you doing, Charlotte?" Lana sounded like she was warning her. The Alpha pulled away and even though it was dark, it was clear to see her eyes had darkened considerably.

The Omega bit down on her lip and looked to the side, embarrassment covering her like a blanket. "Nothing. Forget it." She tried to turn onto her other side. Quickly, she realized she wasn't able to as Lana had tightened her arms around the girl's tiny frame. "Lana, please." She didn't exactly struggle but tried to move away only to be met with resistance.

"Charlotte." She nearly keened. Lana was looking at her with such intensity she'd drop to her knees if she wasn't laying down. She could clearly see the inner Alpha in Lana coming alive; the voice she'd used was enough indication. Gently, she felt Lana's hand come up and cup her cheek. Her eyes were forced to look at the other. She wanted to shrink back and plead for whatever the Alpha would give her all at once. "What's wrong?" The shift in tone could make her cry. Instead of the demanding Alpha, Lana was back into a soothing tone she used whenever Charlotte was upset. The Omega hated and loved it. Lana's thumb traced along her cheek and she sighed into the touch.
