Long Awaited Mate Is A Baby novel Chapter 21

But it's hard to fully convince myself of this, and my words are not reassuring in any way.

Groaning loudly, I through my head in my hands, pulling at the roots of my hair.

"Having problems over there?"

I'm startled back from the firmiliar voice that speaks to me from across the room.

I lift my head and growl on instinct. But Micah just laughs.

"You aren't scaring anyone with that pathetic growl, Kaden. Especially not me,"

His words send a strea of rage through my veins, and I suddenly can't contain it any more. He is the reason that I thought I had to mark Allie. And if it wasn't for him she wouldn't be in the hospital right now hanging onto her life by a thread.

The thoughts string together in my head causing all my self control to explode all at once.

I growl and lunge towards Micah, my intent to rip his throat out and make him suffer like his sister has to.

But he catches my intention a second too fast, and I miss him by an inch, giving him the chance to grab a hold of me and pin me to the hospital door.

My back screams in contact, the silver immediately burning through my clothes and heading straight towards my skin.

"Not so big and tough now, are you?" he snickers, laughing in my face.

I try and squirm to fight him off, but even with my added Alpha genes and strength, I can't shake him away. The silver has torn away all the strength I once had.

Micah, noticing my pain, shoves me harder against the door, and I have to force back the scream that wants to erupt from my throat.

"You see," Micah says slowly, dragging out his words to torture me. "I could kill you right here, right now. It'd be so easy. You wouldn't be able to stop me, and I'd get away before any one else found out. But... I don't want to do that. Not yet,"

He sighs, deep in thought. "And besides, my sister has seemed to take a liking to you. And even if she's not my favorite person in the world- she doesn't hold that title by a long shot- she does like you, and I don't want my parents on my back about how I killed my sisters mate. I'd never hear the end of that,"

Her skin looks to be much more durable than it was before, and it's not nearly as pale as it was just yesterday. She has a warm golden tan that almost matches the color of her hair.

Its longer, but not as long as I thought it would have been after the drastic grow up. I think that the doctors might have cut some of it off, just to help them examine her better.

With my mouth still gaping open at the sight of this new Allie, I stumble over to beside her bed, grasping her bigger hand in mine. Though it has grown, mine is still much larger, and engulfs hers.

I brush a small strand of hair that has fallen over her forehead back, and wait for her to stir in response to my touch. But she doesn't.

The thought throws me back to when I was in this position before with Allie, her lifeless and still beside me, not having a clue when she would wake up. Or if she would at all.

And at that, I'm suddenly gripped with a fear so strong, that maybe Allie won't wake up this time, and I'll be left to live without her, to run my pack alone.

Some of the pack members have been murmuring that my mate has made me weaker, that when I first took over Alpha position I was much more strict and contained. And they aren't wrong.

At first, I was strict, and forceful, and whatever I said was done, no questions asked. But that was when it was just me. I didn't have another person constantly consuming my thoughts and making it hard to focus on work.
