BRINLEY.
It's been a week since my visit with Dr. Gram. I've been working up the nerve to tell Xander about the baby. But I'm not sure how he will react to the news. There is only one way to find out for sure.
I grab my phone from the nightstand with trembling hands. I dial Xander's number. I've tried to call him before, and he never answered. But, of course, he probably won't now, being 3:00 am.

Xander looked like he always did with his long black hair, bright silver eyes, and five a clock shadow. The way his jaw clenched and unclenched was hot as hell, and I found myself gawking at every perfect of his profound body. The way his shirt strained against his muscles and his jeans tight around his thick thighs.
***********************CHAPTER TWENTY ONE***********************BRINLEY.(TWO MONTHS LATER)I haven't seen or talked to Xander since our fight two months ago, as hard as it was. Xander hasn't tried to contact me either, so it's fair to say we're both upset. Xander telling me he didn't love me hurt, hurt like hell. My heart breaks every time I picture his face that day.My belly has grown round, still not full-blown, but enough to tell that I'm pregnant. An

I chased after Xander, His fist tightly in a ball as he stomped down the hall. I grabbed his arm, jerked him back, and stood in front of him.3"It isn't what you think," I said, shaking my head. "You're pregnant," I nod, "Yes, I am. But not with Knox's baby,"

Knox glances at me and shakes his head as he moves closer to his brother."Xander.""I don't know." Xander says, shaking his head, "The curse has never skipped anyone.""But, your mate is Brinley,""Yes," Xander nods.

**************************CHAPTER TWENTY-FIVE.***********************BRINLEY."You're coming with me,"My lips part at Xander's words; if he thinks I'll go with him in his right mind, he is insane.I cross my arms over my chest and on top of my growing belly, Xander's eyes zeros in, and I frown and look down. Since I became pregnant, my boobs have grown about a cup size, and my arms only push them up, exposing them from my shirt.
************************CHAPTER TWENTY-SIX.*********************BRINLEY.After dinner with Kelsy and Ryder, I sent Delores off to bed. She looked worn out, so I told her I would clean up, and Kelsy offered to help. At the same time, Xander and Ryder stepped out into the backyard. I washed while Kelsy dried the dishes, her lips formed a thin line, and I knew she had something on her mind."Spit it out,"A frown formed on Kelsy's face. "Why didn't you tell m
***************************CHAPTER TWENTY-SEVEN************************BRINLEY."So, did you make him fall in love?"I arched my brow and looked at Kelsy as if to say, 'Are you fucking kidding me right now?'"No, I told you I won't force him to be with me. I didn't force Gabriel when he wanted to reject me. I accepted it.""Would you accept it if Xander was to reject you?"
