She didn’t answer, so he cupped her face and tilted her head until she looked at him. She didn’t look scared or frightened, she looked angry. “What?”

She pursed her lips and he used his thumb to rub along the seam. She blew out a breath and said, “We’ve only been together for a week. You’ll think it’s silly.”

“I promise I won’t.”

“It’s just…I don’t want any single females in this house.”

He didn’t know what to say to that.

“Would you want to have single guys hanging around me?” she asked.

His wolf snarled in his head. The hell that would happen!

She hummed. “I thought so. But the point is you’re not unmated anymore, you have me. And you said that your house is mine like mine is yours, and I wouldn’t let a single guy come into my house unannounced. She had a key and everything!”

“It’s not silly to feel possessive of the house. To be honest, I didn’t even think about it. The omegas who clean for the high-ranked males have keys to their houses, it makes it easier for them to come in when no one is home. You’re right, though, I wouldn’t want an unmated male in your house either.” He looked past her to the flowers. “I take it she interrupted something you were planning?”

“Yeah, damn it. It looked so nice in there.”

“It looks pretty damn nice right here, too,” he said, lowering his head and kissing her. She melted into him the way he loved the most, as if she couldn’t even stand up straight when they kissed.

“I…” she murmured against his lips.

“Want me to ravage you? No problem.”

She laughed, and he nipped her bottom lip with a smile. Her eyes were bright and glittering with humor. “Yes, but first, I actually think I know why I was feeling so possessive just now. At least I think so.”

“Oh?”

She led him into the bedroom and she climbed onto the bed, settling in the center on her knees. The blanket was still wrapped around her, and she fiddled with the edge of the fleece. He joined her, inhaling the sweet scent of the flowers.

“Did you make these flowers?” he asked.

“I did. They were in your yard.”

He arched a brow. “There aren’t flowers in my yard.”

“There are. They’re buried deep in the ground and I coaxed them out with my power.”

“Are they still out there?”

“No, I sent them back underground.”

He took her hands and kissed the inside of each wrist and then twined their fingers. “Your powers are so amazing.”

She smiled. “I have some news, but I’m not really sure how to say it so I’m just going to blurt it out, okay?”

He chuckled. “Sure, sweetheart.”

“I’m pregnant.”

Kismet stared at Ren, her words hanging in the air between them. She was very sure he hadn’t blinked or even breathed once she’d told him about her pregnancy.

“Ren? Are you okay?”

He shook his head and blinked a few times, and then he grinned so broadly his eyes crinkled and a dimple she hadn’t noticed before formed in his cheek. He grabbed her close and said in a low voice, “Sweetheart, are you sure?”
