“Of course, nephew. I thought that was what you would’ve wanted. I will see you at dinner.” He bowed a little too dramatically for my tastes as he left. Rolling my eyes, I turned to the leaders, still on their knees with their heads down.
“Rise, you don’t need to do that. I’m not my father. If my uncle tries to do that again, let me know as soon as possible. Luckily Beta Harlen was able to get to me in time.” I motioned for them to get up. It always unnerved me the way my father wanted them to bow to him. Some of it made me think it was my uncle feeding it to my dad in his ear.
“Yes, Alpha.” They spoke in unison as they stood. Each one had been with my father for as long as I could remember, and each one was good at their job.
“You’re dismissed. Thank you.” I turned with Harlen at my flank and headed back to the packhouse.
The walk was silent as we headed back. It was always nice to walk with my Beta. His knowledge and years helped me this past year, and I knew it would in the future as well. I never had to worry about him making decisions on his own without letting me know first.
When we arrived back in the dining room, Kalila and the beta female Bella were sitting there talking with each other at one of the tables. I was glad that they got along. “She’s with pup.”
I spun to stare at him, trying to find out which one he was talking about. He laughed and then slapped my back. “My Bella, she’s with pup. I’m hoping it’s a boy this time.”
“That would be fun. A mini you running around?” I laughed as I returned my gaze back to Kalila. What would she look like round with pup? Maybe one day I would find out.
Kalila turned to me with a smile. I could live with that smile for the rest of my life. Choosing her was the right thing to do. I could feel it in my soul. Sitting beside her, I leaned over and kissed her temple before grabbing her hand in mine. “Were you able to handle the problem?”
“Sort of. There will have to be something done before it gets better. But let’s eat. We will talk about this later.” I kissed her hand before grabbing my glass to take a drink of the dark liquid.
Kalila nodded as we waited for the food to come out from the kitchens. I had a strict rule that the kitchen staff ate first and then the patrols since they were just coming in and going out. Everyone seemed to like that arrangement, other than my uncle, of course. He thought that since he was of the Alpha bloodline he should eat first.
After dinner and a shower, I stepped into our room and spotted Kalila sitting on the bed, her hands in her lap and her head down. Going up to her, I pulled her into my arms and took a deep whiff of her scent. It had slightly changed. I didn’t imagine it. There could be two different times when a female’s scent changed. When she was in heat or when she was with pup.
Kalila hadn’t gone into heat since we had mated; with her going into heat, it would be easier to get pregnant. But that was something we hadn’t talked about yet. Kalila nuzzled into my bare chest as I sat on the bed with her straddled on my lap. Her silk nightie riding up to her hips as my hands played with her thighs. The towel keeping us apart. “Kalila, are you going into heat?”
She jerked from me, her hazel eyes wide as she stared at me. Kalila pulled her lower lip between her teeth and softly chewed on it. I had noticed that it was a nervous tick with her. Chuckling, I caressed her cheek and ran my hands through her blonde hair. It had gotten longer since she had been here. Almost touching her shoulders.
Kalila used her fingers to trace the lines of my muscles. I loved her touch and how it made me feel as she slipped her hand beneath the towel. She gripped my cock, using her other hand to undo the towel. Her mouth mere centimeters from mine as she nuzzled my nose. The silk nightie grazed my chest.
Slipping my hands up to her ass, I realized that she wasn’t wearing any panties with it. Kalila knew this was what turned me on. That and her sleeping on her stomach with her leg cocked up. Mhmm. I flipped her underneath me on the bed and the towel fell to the floor in my haste to change position. “Love, you didn’t answer me. I need to know. Because we haven’t talked about pups. And I don’t want to assume you are ready.”
“Well, that worry would be a little too late, Fin. You’re going to be a daddy.”
I stopped mid-kiss to her neck and jerked up to see her face. My heart racing in its cage. Kalila’s brows furrowed, and she chewed her bottom lip again. Did I just hear her correctly? Did she just tell me that I was going to be a dad? “Say that again.”
“You’re going to be a daddy?” She shrugged as she started to chew the inside of her cheek.
“You’re not joking? You’re carrying my pup inside you?” She nodded, a small grin forming on her lips as she stared at me. I pulled her flush to me and hugged her. This was the happiest moment of my life. “Kalila, you’ve just made me the happiest wolf in this pack!”
Chapter Three
Iwoke up just as the sun started to rise above the mountains. Kalila was snuggled against my side. Her soft breaths fanned over my chest as I lay there thinking back to last night. The thought of being a dad was amazing. It made me feel lighter than I had ever been in my life.
What I wanted to do was get up from this bed. Go to the balcony and shout it out to the pack that an heir is coming! That’s what I wanted to do. But I was content to wait until Kalila told me to announce it. I pulled her in closer as I took in her scent. It was changing even more as time went on.
Planting a kiss on her forehead, I got up from the king bed. The silence in the packhouse was pleasant as I stared at myself in the bathroom mirror. I didn’t look any different, but today was. It was the beginning of something new and would change my life as I knew it.
Kalila’s arms snaked around my waist as I stood there. I smiled, covering her hand with mine as she nuzzled into my back. “Are you okay, Fin?”
“Of course. Why wouldn’t I be?” I glanced up as she came into the mirror with me. Her bright hazel eyes shining back at me. Turning to her, I picked her up and sat her on the counter. Wedging myself between her legs. Our naked skin touching, making me want her before we went about our day.
“Because, like you said last night when you thought I was in heat. We hadn’t talked about pups, and then I told you I was pregnant.” The worry in her hazel eyes flowed through me as I stared at her.
“No, love. You’ve made me the happiest wolf in this pack. I don’t care what anyone says. We were fated to be together. If we weren’t then why bless us with a pup? We will have to tell my parents though. Your scent is changing quickly.” I nuzzled her nose and then kissed the tip. Making her giggle. I loved the way she giggled.
“When are you wanting to tell them?” Kalila nuzzled me back, her hands roaming my arms. Sending goosebumps following her hands.
“I was thinking today at lunch since I have a meeting with Rhyolite and Quartzite Alphas tomorrow. You think that would be okay?” Kalila nodded and smiled. I kissed her lips, pulling her ass to the counter’s edge.
