Aku's POV
Envy. I envy him. There is nothing to hide. I'm jealous of this boy, Sam. I do everything in my power to not feel hurt by Jaci's ignorance towards me but, she just sometimes does things, which infuriates me. Like now. Not that Sam was calling her but, she intentionally went and sat beside him, to avoid me. I sighed and look away, not able to see them laughing at each other's joke and sitting so close, her breasts are literally pressing his sides, when he hugs her sideways.
Fuck! I want to rip her away from him but, I know, it will only make things worse than it already is. Isn't this what I wanted? To make her happy. To bring smile on her face. Then why does it hurts so much to see her happy. Waya placed a hand on my shoulder to bring my attention. "Uncle...Umn..I want to tell you something." he said shyly, scratching his head. I nod my head for him to continue and also thankful for the distraction from Jaci, for the time being.
"I..Um..I thinkNinaisexpacting."I furrowed my head in confusion. "come again." I asked. He took a deep breath as if about to confess his crime. "I said, I think...Nina is expacting. She didn't tell me but, I don't remember her going through her cycle this month and she is puking now and then." he said, worried. I gave him a big blown smile and pulled him into a hug, patting his back. Then I got up from my place, getting everyone's attention. "Nina?" I called my neice. She left her group of friends and walked towards me.
"What is it uncle?" she asked. I wanted to confirm the news with her first before making an announcement to my people. When I wishper asked her, she fiddled with her hands and smiled at a smirking Waya, then nodded. I pulled her to me and kissed her forehead happily. "My people, by the grace of moon god, Nina and Waya are expacting their first child!" The crowd erupted into happy chatters and everyone came rushing towards the newly blessed couple to congratulate, followed my Sam and my mate.
Sam looked happy but confused. Ofcource he didn't understand what are we celebrating but, Jaci looked excited and thrilled. Now, that's suspicious. I know, she was pretending to not understand our dialect but, she's definitely going to blow her act if she comes closer to Nina. As aspacted, in excitement, she forgot the cover-up and hugged Nina. "Congratulations! Finally. I want this to be a boy baby." she said, with a cute pout. I got instantly hard by looking at her lips. If she wants kids, I can give her tons. She just have to except me.
Nina thanked her and hugged her back. "If you so much want a baby, I'm sure Aku is ready to give you one, right brother." Baku has to go there, right? I turned towards Jaci and smirked when her face flushed like tomato. I wanted to reach her and stroke her blush but, I don't want to embarrass her any more. Just then Grandma and other women came out with food. Nina wishpered something to Jaci, which made her head snap towards me. She blushed some more, if that's even possible and averted her eyes.
I noticed that my mate was being harassed by many women, which made her more flushed. "What is it?" I asked, no body in particular. Grandmother came and stood beside me. She hold my hands and smiled at me. I did the same but, my smile flustered when I saw Sam and Jaci's hand intertwined with each other and they look...Happy. A sudden pain filled my heart. Did I make a mistake, allowing him to stay here. They look closer than ever. Idiot. I scolded myself.
"My people." grandma addressed everyone. "Today is a very blessed day. First, We heard that Sam is ready to become a part of our tribe, by taking bath in the moon cave and engraving his body with our moon mark. Then we found out that, Nina was expecting, which is the first blessing after the full moon. But, what more touching is..." she looked into my eyes. "Aku, be ready to reward your mate, because she has taken a step ahead and cooked first time for the entire tribe, especially you, to express her gratitude." her words filled my heart with pride, for my mate.
