Long Awaited Mate Is A Baby novel Chapter 44

"Kaden," she mumbles into my chest as she clings to me. "Is she really gone?"

I bury my face in her hair. "Yes, baby," I murmur. "She's really gone,"

Allie nods slowly into my chest and sniffs, her form still shaking.

"I'm sorry, baby," I whisper into her hair. I really am sorry for her, and I understand why she's upset. Her mom was just killed in front of her after all. But what else could I have done? If I didn't take action, Lucy would have, and Allie would be dead right now. I couldn't have that.

"I'm sorry she's gone," I murmur once more.

Allie freezes momentarily and lifts her head to me. "What?"

I repeat myself, speaking slower this time.

"No, Kaden," my mate says, lifting her her pale hand to touch my cheek. "I'm not upset with you, I understand why you did what you did. And besides, she wasn't much of a mom to me anyway,"

Allie looks up at me with so much adoration and love in her eyes that I almost breakdown in tears right this second.

But instead, I lean my head down into the crook of her neck, breathing in her familiar vanilla and mint scent that calms me and my wolf right away.

I wrap my arms around her frame tightly, holding on to her with every fiber of strength I have. I've come so close to losing her, so many times, but I'm determined to make this one the last. I won't let myself lose her, ever. I need her.

As a hold my mate, she shifts slightly under my weight. "Um, Kaden,"

I lift my head and lean away from her, my face slightly flushed. I guess I'm kind of heavy.

"Sorry," I mumble.

She laughs softly, and I'm sure that it's my favorite sound in the world. "No, it's fine. Its just..." She trails off, looking behind her. "Your friends,"

If possible, my face flushes even more. "Oh."

The trio at the door all laugh softly at me, and I shake my head in embarasment, walking back over to my mate.

"Thank you all for coming," I say to them.

They nod in acknowledgement.

"Of course, Kaden," Jack says.

"We left as soon as Luna called us," John continues. "I could tell you needed us,"
