Built To Be Stronger

Chapter 30

"Excuse me?" Xerxes says standing up with his fists on the table, leaning into them making his skin turn white. He didn't look happy about this, I was more confused as to why he wanted it done so soon. I said maybe I could be with him, he must think it's inevitable.

"We are having a baby, Xerxes, I don't know about you but I would like to make sure she becomes Alpha of my pack." I don't know why but my heart swelled up with pride, knowing that Thyrus would make sure our little female would get the tittle no matter the circumstances.

"But that means you have to get married before-"

"I know, I'm not going to force her into that Xerxes. Why don't you try letting her decide something-"

"Boys! Not here." I interrupt, making eye contact with some of the teens and older males that had got some breakfast. Growling they both sigh and look at me, Xerxes hated Thyrus's guts. After everything he's done to me I wouldn't blame him.

I roll my eyes and start to walk upstairs, to which they followed closely behind. I didn't need the pack knowing of our personal business and as two Alpha blood lines they should know better. Then again males only listen to their testosterone when another one speaks up against them.

Opening the doors to the office I gag as Noah's scent broke through into my mouth like I could taste it. Backing away I cough it out with Thyrus planting his hand on my back rubbing it so I could get the scent out of my lungs.

"Are you okay? What happened?" He asks frantically as I look forward at the empty office.

"It's Noah's scent, it's too strong," I look as Xerxes gives me a confused look and walk into the place. Sniffing around not smelling anything, or at least he looked like he didn't. "You can't smell it?" I ask and he shakes his head, standing up straight I try to take a step forward but my stomach turned and I stepped back.

"What's going on? How can his scent affect you?" Thyrus asks very concerned as he took his hand off of me, seeing my discomfort. I didn't want him touching me in front of Xerxes, it killed him seeing any affection between us.

"I'll call Penelope she seems to know a lot." Xerxes says pulling out his photo from his front pocket. I place a hand on my forehead remembering how she reacted to feeling my little girl last night. It wasn't a good sign and I'd make sure I got my answers.

"Well while he does that do you want to talk?" He asks and I nod, walking down the hall to my bedroom, him following in toe. I leave the door open after he enters, not wanting anyone to get the wrong idea.

"So that was your wonderful way of proposing huh?" I ask and his eyes go wide with nervousness, it made me smirk from his reaction.

"W-well it just k-kinda made sense... you know?" He jumps all over the place avoiding my stare that was turning into a testing gaze. Wanting to see if he actually thought I'd even consider him after he just announced it in front of everyone.

"Explain maybe." I say with a sarcastic tone, meaning he better damn well explain himself.

"Look, you got married to Noah, without knowing much about him. I wasn't saying that we would just get married and be a happy little couple... but if she's born without a pack? Considering you are rogue right now with Noah kicking you out of the pack... I just want-"

"Okay." I say cutting him off getting his point, these packs needed to be truly united. Having one ruler over two separate packs would be hell. And I too wanted this girl to have a normal life if that's even possible. If I took his last name then she'd be his heir, and his point of me having a pack would be best too.

"What?" He asks amazed that I just jumped on board that easily, with a horrible explanation as to why.

"I'll marry you, but I want this to be a proper wedding, and I don't know about you but a girl would like to actually be proposed to." His face lit up like the Fourth of July, jumping towards me his hands pick me up by my hips and he swings me up around in the air laughing. Dropping me down to the ground in a soft motion placing a long lasting kiss on my cheek. For sure rubbing Xerxes scent off of me.
