Lahat ng Kabanata ng Too Late, Alpha: The Mate He Never Wanted : Kabanata 111 - Kabanata 120

Iris’s POV“This morning we’ll spar,” Lucas said once we finished stretching.I blinked at him. “I’m sorry—what?”He was already rolling his shoulders as he headed toward one of the rings.“This should’ve happened last week,” he said flatly. “But you were pathetic those past few days.”I frowned. “And now?”He gave me a look that made the answer obvious. “You’ve been better since yesterday. Still distracted, but not as pathetic. I’ll take the improvement.”The tonics Olivia had given me really were working. Since I had started taking them two days ago, after learning I was pregnant,my muscles no longer felt like lead, and for the first time in weeks I wasn’t dizzy.I was still in shock as dread crept in. I couldn’t spar with Lucas. I had been knocked unconscious sparring with Drew, an omega. I would probably get myself killed trying to land a punch on Lucas.“Time to spar,” Lucas said, stepping into the ring. “No holding back. Give me everything you’ve got.”I had seen Lucas spar with

Iris’s POVThe door cracked open and Chloe stood before us with her perfect blonde hair that made me feel self-conscious for a brief moment.The second her gaze landed on me, her mouth twisted into a sharp sneer.“Well, look who thinks she can waltz in here.” Her voice was sharp like a dagger, but I noticed that she kept it low. “What the hell are you doing at the Alpha’s office? Didn’t anyone teach you that the Alpha's office is not a place for classless people like you?”My head already throbbed from everything that had happened today. I wasn’t about to waste energy on Chloe.“I need to see Rowan,” I said flatly. “Whatever I’m here for doesn’t concern you, Chloe.”Chloe’s eyes narrowed and she gave me an icy glare. “Excuse me?” She stepped out a little, blocking the doorway with her hand. “The nerve you have. You think you can just walk up here and demand to see him?”She continued. “And it’s Alpha Rowan to you. Show some respect. If it concerns him, it concerns me. We are partners.

Iris’s POVThe silence was stretched so long that it felt very uncomfortable.Rowan stared at me with an unreadable expression.Shane shifted beside me, looking uncomfortable. Even Chloe kept quiet.I clenched my jaw as annoyance pricked me. Fine. If that was his answer, then I was done.I released a breath and stepped back. “Alright,” I said calmly. “Forget it.”My voice sounded calmer than I felt.I turned toward the door. My hand held the handle when Rowan’s voice cut through the room.“Wait.”It wasn’t loud, but it stopped me.Something in his commanding tone made the hair on my neck rise.I turned halfway, not willing to face those cold eyes. I braced myself for a sharp, cutting remark to make me regret coming at all, but nothing came.“Shane. Chloe.” Rowan’s eyes darted to them. “Out.”Chloe spun toward him. “Excuse me?” Her voice was sharp with disbelief. “You can’t possibly mean me—”He raised a single eyebrow.Whatever she saw in his face made her swallow the rest of her prot

Iris’s POVA sharp sound jolted me awake.I sat up so fast my neck gave a painful crack. My legs were numb from being folded too long, and my body ached. I rubbed my eyes, blinking at the dim light from the lamp in the room.I turned toward the small clock on the nightstand and blinked in surprise. It was nearly midnight.I groaned under my breath. “Seriously?”Had the person Rowan promised to send already come and gone? Maybe I had slept and hadn't heard when the person came? I had been so exhausted from everything that it wouldn’t have surprised me.If they had come and left, what now? Was I supposed to wait until morning?I pushed myself to my feet, wincing when my calves ached. My stomach twisted with nausea. It was almost time for another dose of the tonic.I moved toward the door, still half-asleep, and reached for the handle, then I stopped.A tingle ran down my spine, and the sleep cleared out of my eyes as I realized something.I wasn’t alone in the room.My breath caught and

Iris’s POVMy heart hammered in my chest.“I’m pregnant, Rowan.” I repeated quietly this time.Rowan was frozen. For a second he didn’t even blink. Then he began blinking too fast, like he had been hit in the head. His mouth opened, closed, then opened again.“Well… are you—are you sure?” he stammered. His voice cracked. He looked like words had failed him.“Yeah.” My voice was low but steady. “It was confirmed by a healer.”He blinked hard, like the words haven't sunk in yet. “But… how did this happen?”I gave him a dry look. “How did it happen? Well, usually when a man and a woman—”Rowan cut me off with a quick wave of his hand. “I know that, alright. I’m just—damn, Iris, I’m shocked.”He swallowed hard. “It… it’s—” He looked almost afraid to ask the question. “Is it… mine?”I stared at him, lifting an eyebrow. Heat flared in my chest. “What do you think?”His eyes widened, and he held up both hands quickly. “I’m not saying I doubt you, I just—hell, Iris, you said your tubes were t
