Long Awaited Mate Is A Baby novel Chapter 38

"Why?" Allie whispers, shifting on my bed to try and come closer to me. I instinctively flinch back, and I catch a flash of hurt shine through my mates perfectly clear blue eyes. It hurts me more than her, I'm sure.

"Allie, baby," I sigh. "I want the same things you do, believe me on that. But my wolf... And maybe even me... I don't trust myself right now. I don't trust myself to be careful around you in that kind of way,"

She slowly stands up, making her way to me again. I try and move back again, but there's no place for me to go. I'm already presses against the wall.

"But why can't you kiss me? Can't you at least do that?"

I shake my head immediately. "No, I can't. I won't be able to stop once I start, and I know you're not ready to be fully mated. You may think you are, but I know you aren't, baby,"

"Are you?" she questions.

"In... Some ways. I'm ready to be fully mated, but I'm not ready to have pups. And I have Alpha's blood in me, so you'll have a higher pregnancy chance that other she wolves will,"

Allie sighs and through herself back against my bed. "That's... Irritating,"

I scoff. "You think,"

Despite herself, a laugh breaks out through her lips and I can't help but join her. The situation isn't very funny, but I Allie's laugh is so contagious, it's impossible not to laugh along with her.

Silencing my wolf and pushing him to the back of my mind, I walk over to Allie slowly, sinking down onto my bed and reaching out to hold her.

She understands my intention as soon as I make it clear, and she climbs over to me, leaning her body against my chest while I keep my arms secure around her. She sighs.

"I feel like I could fall asleep like this," she murmurs. "I'm very tired,"

I chuckle lowly, pressing my cheek into her hair.

We must sit like that for several minutes, a bubble of calm seeming to surround us.

But all too soon, that bubble pops when John runs into my room.

"Kaden," He's out of breath. "Luna Allie's mother is on the phone. She says she needs to talk to you,"

"What does she want?" Allie asks as I run down to my office.

My once pale face flushes with rage. Who is she to tell an Alpha what to do?

"I don't have to listen to you, Lucy. I don't know who you think you are-"

"Kaden," she growls, cutting me off. "Unless you fancy the idea of having a corpse for a mate I suggest you do as your told. I don't have time for games,"

There's an underlying tone of dominance in her voice that makes me listen to her, though it's the last thing I want to do. But if it'll keep and Allie and my friends safe, I'll do what she wants.

"John, Jack," I say. They lift their heads up to look at me. "Please take my mate away from here for now. And stay with her, she's not to leave your sight,"

They nod at me and each take one of Allie's arms. She tries to pull away from them, but they're too strong, and all she can do is wriggle in their grasps.

"Kaden!" she yells. "What's wrong? What are you doing?" Jack and John pull her out of the door. "No! Kaden!" The door slams behind them.

"Good boy, Kaden," Lucy says, her tone mocking me.

"What do you want, Lucy?" I growl. "They're not in here anymore, you can tell me,"
