ALEXANDERI've been pacing around these halls for nearly an entire fucking hour. After Ellie's water broke when she was fucking washing the dishes, like I fucking told her not to do, I was lucky to have Elijah and Vera there watching over her in case something happened. He'd linked me up and told me right away what had happened. I was in a meeting then, discussing pack negotiations, alliances, and rogue sightings type of shit. I didn't expect my pup to come at the only day I was forced to attend one of these meetings. Other alphas were becoming upset at my decreasing appearances. If Elijah had not convinced me she'd be safe with him and Vera this morning, I wouldn't have left. And I fucking wished I hadn't. Then I wouldn't have arrived late and had to get Elijah to take my place, and Vera wouldn't fucking let Elijah go anywhere by himself. Those two are inseparable.I felt something touch my shoulder and I whipped around ready to tell whoever this fucker is to leave me the heck alone
