Chapter 47: His annoying pregnant ex.-2

She said, "I don't want to be your mistress, Damian. You promised..."

I said, "Beth,I don't know why you've been so difficult." She said, "It's the pregnancy hormones. I need you now more than ever. I feel alone, being pregnant and alone in everything. My father cares more about the political privilege this brings him than me." I felt guilty because it's true – her father has never shown concern for her, only what he gains from it

I said to her, "Look, I'm sorry I haven't been there for you, and I will make it up to you. I'm going to be there for you throughout this pregnancy and after. I'll be very involved in my child's life, and I'll make sure you're well taken care of."

She replies, "Do you know that I'm a princess of Bearmont? No elite will want to marry me because I've given birth." I told her, "Anyone who truly loves you will marry you regardless. You shouldn't think too deeply about it. Maybe, who knows, you might actually find your destined mate very soon."

Mentioning "destined mate" changed her mood. She said, "enough of this mate thing already..." I told her we could go to the hospital for a scan to find out if it's a boy or a girl. She smiled, saying that was a good idea. I gave her my hand to help her stand up, and we headed out of the house and drove to the hospital.

"We finally arrived at the hospital, and the nurse led us to the scan room. As Doctor Lucy began the scan, I was overwhelmed with excitement, hearing our baby's heartbeat. After a few moments, she smiled and said, 'Congratulations, you're expecting a baby girl!' I beamed with joy – I was having a daughter!

She squeezed my hand, her eyes shining with happiness, 'Look at our little girl, she's so tiny!' We both looked at the screen, beaming in joy at this moment.

The doctor continued the scan, explaining that since we're unsure if the baby will be a wolf or a bear, they'd be extra cautious. Wolf pregnancies typically last seven months, while bear pregnancies can go up to eight months – we just had to wait and see.

After the doctor's appointment we left the hospital headed home but she suddenly started craving something sweet, and I knew just the place. I took her to a cozy café where Galilee Sandra's famous cakes awaited. She ordered chocolate cake and a smoothie, and when it arrived, she said with a grin, 'Devour it!' It was great to see her carefree and happy just like before.

After eating, I asked if she wanted anything else, and before she could answer, my phone rang. It was Sofia, and her voice was really down. She sounded sad and asked, "Where are you, Damian? Why can't I mind-link you?" I said, "Sorry baby, I put my block up, I’m with Beth.

I explained to her that we went to the hospital for a check-up to see how it's going. She said okay and asked if everything was fine with the baby, I replied saying the baby is fine and growing well.

appreciating the fact that she’s so understanding and caring.

and I asked her how the talk with her father went. She said it went well. She was heading to the lake alone to relax. I told her to be careful because the rogues were still disturbing. She told me she could handle herself.

"I decided to surprise her with her favorite vanilla and chocolate cake . Maybe it'll put a smile on her face. I know she wouldn't tell me about her conversation with her Dad on the phone, but I figured something sweet might help lift her mood. I'll always be here to listen whenever she’s ready to talk.

We ended the call and I looked at Beth. I told her we need to head back now; Sofia needs me.

immediately her mood changed and went back to being annoying again. She said, "We've not even spent up to two hours together, and she's already calling you. So I don't get to have my pups' father around me."

I didn't feel like arguing with her, and I told her we needed to leave. I helped her up, and we headed towards the car. We were driving back to the house, and we passed a small store. She tapped me, and I said, "Pack, pack, pack, pack." I asked her what the problem was, and she just said, "Pack."

I packed, and she said, "Look, I saw baby things there. Now that we know we're having a baby girl, maybe we should pick up a few things and start decorating the nursery." I thought it was a good idea and said, "Spending another thirty minutes with her won't be that bad."

We came down from the car and picked out a few things for our baby girl. After shopping for about two hours, she couldn't decide what she wanted or which color to go with. She said she didn't want pink for the nursery because it's the typical color for girls, and she wanted purple with black. We argued about it for an hour, finally deciding on purple and black.

We headed to the car, packed, and loaded up everything we got. We got into the car and were driving back when I felt a slight pain in my chest. My phone rang – it was Josh.

He said, "Hello," and I said, "Hello. Where are you, Damian? We've been trying to reach you, but your block was up." I said, "Yeah, I'm spending time with..."

He cut in, "You need to come back to the pack ground it’s Sofia." I said, what's wrong with Sofia?"

He responded saying, "She was attacked by rogues." My heart sank, and panic kicked in. My heart was racing, and I felt like I'd been punched in the gut. "What?!" I exclaimed, my voice shaking.

Beth looked at me, concern etched on her face. "What's wrong?" she asked, but I didn't answer. I couldn't. My mind was racing, and all I could think was, "No, no, no. Not Sofia. Not my Sofia."
