“I love him so much,” she said. “I can’t help it.”
I cupped her cheek and took a deep breath.
“We are going to be mom and dad,” I mumbled quietly.
She smiled brightly and nodded.
“I love you, Dimitri,” she said quietly.
I leaned in and pressed my lips against hers.
“I love you too, my princess.”
CHAPTER FORTY-FIVE – Not Funny
Dimitri’s POV
If someone would describe me as an overprotective and an over-possessive mate I would tell them that they hadn’t seen anything yet.
Now that I knew Maddie was pregnant, I would be damned if I let her out of my sight for even one second. Especially in a situation like this when everyone was here and where there was someone who wanted to take my throne. My mate and my pup were a sure way to do that. I would give up everything for them.
“Princess,” I mumbled softly as I approached her and wrapped my arms around her from behind.
I placed a hand on her lower belly and kissed her shoulder. I was holding my entire world in my arms and that feeling was so fucking hard to describe.
“How are you feeling?” I asked her. “Are you nauseous? Are you uncomfortable?”
Maddie chuckled and shook her head.
“I am perfectly fine,” she said, placing her hand over mine. “I am only a few days pregnant. I think that the symptoms will come a bit later.”
I knew that, but I had to ask. I had to do something if she was in any kind of pain. I placed a kiss on her temple and rested my head against hers.
“There will be no breakfasts or lunches or dinners without me present,” I told her as I gently caressed her lower belly. “You won’t be leaving my side from now on. Not even for one second. Am I clear?”
“Really?” Maddie asked, frowning a little. “And I was just about to ask you if I could go on a three-day hike outside of our borders. Alone, of course.”
My heart stopped beating even though I knew she was messing with me.
“Not funny, Madeline,” I grumbled, making her chuckle.
“I thought it was funny,” she said, stepping away from my embrace.
She turned around and grinned at me.
“We should work on your humor,” I said as I watched her tie her hair into a ponytail. “You suck at it, princess.”
She laughed and shook her head. “You are biased. We need a third party to determine that.”
I rolled my eyes at her and pressed another kiss on her temple.
“Hurry up,” I said as I walked out of the bathroom to finish getting ready. “Ellie is waiting for us in our office. We need to prepare everything for tonight.”
Tonight was the second challenge. I still had to choose an object or a person to be hunted during the challenge. I was so focused on finding the traitor that I almost forgot about it.
“Dimitri?” Maddie called me and I turned around to look at her.
She furrowed her brows and bit her lower lip.
