"Good morning, Ms. James."
"Morning," I smile up at Dr. Gram; she frowns.
"Ms. James. Have you been sleeping well?" She asks, tilting her head, waiting for my reply.
No.

**************************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?"
***************************CHAPTER TWENTY-EIGHT************************BRINLEY.Xander laid me on the bed and walked over to the black leather bag he got this ball-gag out of. He pulled out something black and something shiny.My heart rate accelerates.What is he going to do to me? And why do I want it?I involuntary rub my thighs in anticipation. Xander threw the things on
**************************CHAPTER TWENTY- NINE.***********************BRINLEY."Because I love you,"I froze, unable to move or speak. I've waited so long to hear those words I never thought he would say. I thought he was ashamed of me and hated my age, but Xander Caputo, the Alpha king, just said he loves me."Say something,"I shook my head as I looked into his eyes, "Don't say
******************** CHAPTER - THIRTY ****************** BRINLEY. Do you know that sickening feeling after eating a corn dog and riding the roaster right after not thinking about the consequences? That's the feeling I have right now as we are all gathered around Papa's bed. Tear's streaming down everyone's face, myself included. Xander's holding my shoulders as Kelsy, Delores, and I say our goodbyes to him. But what is the right last words t
********************* CHAPTER THIRTY-ONE ********************* BRINLEY. I open my eyes to see the sunlight shine through the window; Xander must have put to bed. The last thing I remember was falling asleep in the car. It feels strange to wake up in the Caputo kingdom again, but it also feels like home. I yarn, stretching my limbs, glancing around the room, then I realized I was not in Xander's room, and we didn't share the bed. I
************************* CHAPTER- THIRTY-TWO ********************** BRINLEY. "Where have you been?" Julia says, both hands on her hips. 'Taking care of your baby,' I wanted to say, but I didn't; there's no sense in causing Julia to say something that will make me slap the shit out of her. No matter how bad I want to do that. "Bane was fussy. We walked around town all day," She scoffs, "You should have asked my permission to take him into town," She says. "I didn't want to wake you from your beauty sleep," I say sarcastically. "Whatever, give me my baby," I hand Bane over to his mother, and without uttering another word, I run upstairs to my room. My phone starts ringing when I close the door and glance at the screen. Kelsy. "Hey, Kels," "Brinley, who was that adorable baby, you sent me a picture of. Unfortunately, I was busy earlier and couldn't phone you," She says, sounding exhausted. "It was Julia's baby, his name Bane," I tell her as I run my bathwater. My feet are
