“Did Sin ever get her birth implant?”I paused for a few seconds and then slowly continued to lower the bag to the floor. “Why?”Michel shrugged. “I’m just asking.”“No, you’re not.”Michel swallowed loudly. “David said that there are a few possibilities for Sin to want her nest.”I pursed my lips, stopping myself from mentioning what Bella told me about Kate and David. We had agreed not to mention it to Michel and Sin because we didn’t want to upset them on the trip. And what a trip it was. A damn fucking mess. “You think she’s pregnant.” I leaned against the back of the couch and frowned at him. “There are a lot of reasons for an omega to want her nest, Michel. Just because she wanted to come home, doesn’t mean that she’s pregnant.”He growled at me and then stormed out of the house. I watched him as he grabbed the last few bags from the car and stormed back into the house. Dropping them next to the others, he straightened to glare at me. “Don’t look at me like that,” I muttered.
I will not be like my mother.I’ll be good for our baby.I’ll love it and care for it. It’ll have a family with two moms and two dads.“Okay, let’s get a look at this baby.”I gripped Tyrone’s hand tighter as the doctor squirted some cold gel onto my stomach. His eyes locked with mine when he raised my hand to his lips and pressed a kiss to my knuckles. “Is this your first scan?”Tyrone looked at the doctor. “Yes.”“The baby is growing accordingly, and your weight is right on point.” I flinched when the doctor pressed the wand to my stomach and spread the cold gel around. “And there’s your baby.”My eyes stayed glued to his face. I watched as his eyes widen and his lips slowly curl up into a smile. His hand tightened. “Look at our baby, doll.”I didn’t want to look. But I wanted to look. Our baby. I slowly turned my head to look at the small screen. My heart slowed to a stop before it began beating erratically a few seconds later. There it was. So small.“Your baby is fully f
“This happened on such short notice,” Draven muttered. “If they called sooner to let me know I might have had time to get things set up.” I glanced at him from the corner of my eyes but remained silent. There wasn’t much I could say to him that would change things. The Omega Centre told me that he had been listed as my guardian. It wasn’t like I had anybody else around. My mother was dead and my father had disappeared from the face of the earth a week before she died. I was an unclaimed Omega with no family, deserted in a small town where most of them disliked me for some reason. “Shit, I need to call Lauren to let her know,” he muttered. Swallowing, I focused my attention on the passing scenery. It was a small town basically in the middle of nowhere with few shops and even fewer houses surrounded by ranches for miles. The Omega Centre was located just on the outskirts of town, newly build and fully functioning. The center had been my home for nine years and now they wanted me go
“If she refused to answer you the first time then it means that she’s not interested so why don’t you take a hike before I make you?” The Alpha scoffed and turned, giving me a view of the person who came to my rescue. “Mom won’t let you lay a hand on me.” “I don’t really give a fuck about your mother,” she said as she moved closer. “I’m sure your father—” “You know nothing so stop making assumptions. What are you doing here anyway? Is my uncle too busy to keep you occupied?” Her eyes narrowed on him but she didn’t answer or back down when he turned his full attention on her. Rolling her eyes, the woman moved closer. She walked around him and surprised me by moving in front of me. Her presence made some of the fear fade. “You have a very nasty habit of sticking your nose where it doesn’t belong,” she hissed. He smirked. “What are you going to do about it, Bella? Run to daddy?” She growled and took a step forward but at that moment, Draven and his mate appeared. “What’s going o
“You know that it’s not only my decision, princess.” I glanced up at Michel as he entered the workshop with his phone pressed to his ear. Our eyes locked for a moment before his eyes darted away. Frowning, I turned off the machine and straightened. “Hold on, I’ll put the phone on speaker,” he muttered. Pulling the phone away, he pressed something on the screen before he placed it down on the table so both of us could hear clearly. There were a few minutes of silence before Bella spoke. “Is Ty with you?” “I’m here,” I told her. “Good.” She sucked in a breath. “I...A friend of mine needs some help. Draven offered for her to stay here with them but Lauren is being a bitch. She doesn’t want to stay here but she doesn’t have anywhere else to go.” “You want her to move in with us?” I asked her. “We all know why that’s a bad idea, Bella.” “I know,” she whispered, “but she’s not like that. I wasn’t thinking of her moving into the house with us. There’s the cottage that has everything
I had butterflies in my stomach. It was something I had heard the other Omegas say when they were about to meet with an Alpha. I had never understood it until recently. It was supposed to be a good thing but it didn’t feel like it. This was a lot different than Draven telling me that I was going to live with them. I had gotten to get to know him over the years but now I was going to meet an Alpha I had never met before. “Are you sure we shouldn’t have waited for Draven to get back?” I asked Bella for the third time since we left.She waved a hand at me. “I’ll call him once we get home.” I nodded, but her words did nothing to ease some of the worries I felt. We left early because Bella said that it was best to drive before it got hot. Nobody had been awake when we left. “He’ll worry,” I muttered.“I’ll text him, okay? Will that make you feel better?” she asked me.“Yes.”We drove in silence for a few minutes. Being close to Bella felt nice. The only scent that clung to her skin wa
I stood back with a smile, but it instantly dropped when I took in my handy work. Letting out a growl, I stomped forward and ripped the curtains from the couches. The living room wasn’t going to work because there were too many windows and the bedroom was too small. Letting out a huff, I glanced around. My brows dipped into a frown when an idea hit. It was a long shot and there was no guarantee that it was going to work. Gathering the curtains in my arms, I hurried down the hall into the bedroom. I dumped them on the bed and walked over to the closet. Pulling open the door, I studied the space with a critical eye. It wasn’t going to work either! Letting out a growl, I spun and studied the room again. The bed stood in the middle of the room with little space between it and the wall on either side. I stared at the window for a moment and then at the bed. The windowsill could be used along with the bed to hold the curtains up. With the picture forming in my mind, I hurried into the ki
“How’s everything going?” “Fine.” I turned my head to stare out the window again. Draven had asked Bella to give me a lift into town. The ride had been silent and slightly awkward. I had stared out the window for the whole drive but I hadn’t missed the glances Bella gave me as we drove. Had her alpha told her that I bit him? “Sin, can you look at me?” Draven asked softly. I sighed. “Everything’s fine. I only talk to Bella and sometimes her Alpha. They don’t bother me and they always make sure that I have everything I need.”“I spoke to your doctor.” My eyes snapped over to him. Draven stared down at the table top for a few minutes before he looked at me again, but with narrowed eyes. There was no need for me to ask what she said because based on the way he was looking at me, I already knew that she told him what she had told me. “This isn’t something you can ignore, sweetheart.” I flinched. Pushing the chair back, I stumbled to my feet and made a beeline for the exit. Draven g
