Chapter 23:

Brooklyn's POV:

Ella slept off the allergy medication for the entire day. As she slept I sat right beside her and watched her intently. Trying my best to ignore the raging hormones that grew inside of me. I began yawning and the lights came on and that is when Ryder stepped in.

"Brook." He said and I blinked slowly, my stomach lurched forward and clenched tightly.

"Hmm?" I moaned.

"It's eleven o'clock, princess." He said walking over to me. My eyes opened hazily.

"She will...wake up soon..." I said tiredly. He grabbed my hand and pulled me up and lifted me bridal style. I groaned at the skin on skin contact but my eyes shut.

I groaned as the sun shone in through our window. I rolled over and hit Ryder and he shifted and put his arm around me.

"What are you doing?" He said huskily.

"I feel fine." I said bluntly.

"What do you mean?" He asked rubbing his eyes.

"I...I'm not hot...I'm not sore or sex crazed." I said confused.

"It's over." He said.

"I had a heat for one day?" I asked confused. He shrugged but still kept his eyes shut.

"Ryder...did you...did you use a condom?" I asked hesitantly. His eyes shot open and my heart rammed in my chest as he leaned over and dug through his side drawer.

"What are you looking for?" I asked.

"I always put the wrapper in here." He said shuffling things around. I heard of heats where women could have intercourse once and boom you're pregnant. Werewolves have fairly good eggs and some are better than others.

"We may have a situation." He said tsk-ing. I sighed falling back and covering my eyes.

"Ryder!" I said angrily.

"I'm so sorry." He apologized kissing my temple.

"You can't just say sorry I could be pregnant, Ryder!" I exclaimed.

"What? You don't want to have kids with me?" He asked hurt.

"No...I do. Just not right now." I sighed.

"Why? You're twenty-two? Some girls are pregnant before this age." He said.

"Ryder I would make a horrible mother!"

"Are you kidding?" He asked sitting up.

"What?"

"Did you not see the four year old snow elf downstairs who calls you mom? How she looks up to you? She loves you, princess. She would be dead if it weren't for you." He assured. I stared at him studying his face when there was a knock at the door.

"Alpha?" Andrew called. Ryder stood up and opened the door and Andrew came in.

"Sorry to interrupt. Brooklyn, your parents are here." He said and I sighed heavily. After being away for another trip they were finally back home. They didn't know of Ella and they were not going to find out.

I jumped out of bed and rushed into the closet. My parents are high royalty I had to look respectable at all times. I shoved on black slacks and a white button up blouse, I stuffed on my grey blazer and black heels. I took out my bun and allowed my hair to fall in waves. I walked out as Ryder buckled up his pants. As I saw his bare chest a pain wracked through my body. I bent over clutching my stomach.

"Ow." I winced closing my eyes. He came over and helped me sit down. I took a deep breath as the pain subsided.

"What was that?" He asked buttoning up my dress shirt.

"I don't know. But hurry up." I said.
