Long Awaited Mate Is A Baby novel Chapter 43

"Please, take your time. Whatever you say can't change the facts,"

I growl loudly at her, but direct my attention back to my whispering mate.

"Even if what she says is true," Allie murmurs. "She can't become Alpha. She has an older brother, I've see pictures in my house. If the title belongs to anyone but you, it's him,"

It takes a moment for Allie's words to sink in. But when they do, I realize what this means, and I've never been more thankful for my mate than right this second.

"Lucy," I start. "I believe what you're saying,"

"Good." She nods.

"Though it may seem a little far fetched, I don't doubt your words," Lucy smiles widely, and I can tell she thinks she's won. If only she knew... "But, my title still isn't your's, and you still aren't going to be Alpha,"

Lucy's smile melts away as fast as it came. "What do you mean?" she glares. "It is mine. It's in my blood,"

I smirk. "Sure, of course it is. But it's also in your older brother's, and by law, he has rights to power over you,"

Lucy snarls, stepping forward as if she's going to lunge at me. But she changes her mind last second.

"No he doesn't," Lucy roars. "He's dead, the power's mine!"

At her mother's outburst, I feel Allie press herself farther into my back. It'd scare me to see my mother in this state, too. Even if I am a grown adult.

Despite her obvious fear, Allie mumbles her thoughts out loud.

"No, he's not," she whispers. "I know he's not dead, Dad was talking to him not that long ago,"

Lucy bares her teeth. "How do you know that, you little brat?" She again makes a move to come closer to me, or rather Allie, but a stop her in her tracks with a loud, forceful growl.

"Touch her and you're dead." I threaten powerfully.

Lucy takes the warning and backs away, even if it's just a step.

She takes a second to close her eyes and breathe deeply, looking as if she's calming herself. I take the moment as an opportunity.

"Allie," I whisper quickly, just barely turning my head.

She raises her glimmering blue eyes to me in question.
