And is pregnant.
With his baby.
The words circle my head, angry birds that peck at my thoughts and rip me apart.
I have no right to be this upset. Of course Iris was seeing someone else. I shouldn’t have fallen for her without discussing what we were to each other.
And mostly, I shouldn’t have fallen for her. She was never going to be mine.
She’s a human.
I’m a wolf.
I need to find a mate, another shifter, in about five months, or I will lose the ability to shift.
And my pack will lose their alpha.
I haven’t slept since I found out. It’s been somewhere around twenty-four hours since I saw her with all the pregnancy tests at her house, and I still can’t believe it.
When I first heard her explain her process, I wanted to chuckle. My Iris is nothing if not thorough, so the fact she went through fourteen different pregnancy tests feels so... her.
If it hadn’t been in the context it was, then I would have been entertained. Oh, Iris. Of course you got fourteen tests and took two every hour.
But it’s not funny.
Because Iris is pregnant.
With another man’s baby.
I’m staring at absolutely nothing on my desk when Evander, followed by Josh and Adrian, who usually does our accounting, walk in.
I blink at them. “Hey.”
“We’re here for the quarter three financial meeting,” Evander says, clearly re-stating since I seem to have no fucking clue what’s going on.
“Oh. Yeah. Okay. Let’s do it.”
Evander nods, and the other wolves sit. Adrian hands me the financial report, and I leaf through it. Everything looks in order to me, but Adrian’s the accountant. “Go,” I snap.
He gives me an odd look, and Evander and Josh exchange a glance. However, Adrian starts talking. He runs me through the financials, and I nod along, noting where there are discrepancies from what I’ve noticed before.
Finally, he wraps up. I glance at the clock: we’re almost ten minutes early.
Excellent.
This meeting could not be over fast enough. Now, I can dismiss them and get back to my regularly scheduled programming.
Thinking about Iris, and trying to decide who the fuckhead is that got her pregnant.
I glance down at the packet, slapping it closed on my desk. “Okay. Looks good. Thanks boys,” I say to the group. I’m about to dismiss them when I feel like Evander has something else to say.
I tilt my head. “Anything else?”
Evander glances at Adrian and Josh. “There’s another thing we were hoping to talk about today.”
“Okay,” I lean back.
“It’s time for you to find a mate.”
