Lahat ng Kabanata ng Alpha's Dirty Secrets: Kabanata 131 - Kabanata 140

The pack at large slept significantly later than they normally would have slept. There was almost no one interested in breakfast. Cullen actually opened his eyes at roughly the same time he normally would have. But he growled at himself, wrapped Aislinn more tightly in his arms, and went back to sleep as he listened to her purr and breathed in her scent.Around noon a few of the omegas knocked on the main door to the alpha's room. If the bedroom door hadn't been left slightly open on the sitting room they probably wouldn't have heard the knock. An annoyed growl from inside almost sent them away but then Aislinn called come in. Cullen grinned without opening his eyes. He liked the fact that she was getting confident enough to speak up like this was her room as well as his.Aislinn sat up, holding the blanket over herself to see who it was. Cullen growled and tried to pull her back down in the bed. "Whoever it is it can't be good. You should have let me scare them away."Aislinn sighed.

After a reasonable amount of time and mingling the four alphas headed down a guarded hall. There were betas stationed at each door in the hall. Cullen knew that if he walked outside he would find a similar lineup of betas by the windows as well. Due to the fact that the rooms ended up being used as prisons the omegas that would have been in this hall were sharing rooms in a different wing. It had been incredibly inconvenient considering the number of extra guests they already had and the fact that they had to have guards. But the feds hadn't shown up this time and there had been enough high ranking lycans to watch them. So it worked out, if not well.Cullen looked at Cadifor. "I just thought of something. Did you call the feds off?""What?"Cullen got a concerned look and Aislinn sighed in frustration as she understood what he was concerned about. He could feel the 'I told you so' coming from her. But she didn't say it. "I usually get a call from Stevens when there's any commotion. Th

Aislinn helped Sarah make most of the arrangements this time and she seemed okay if not pleased with all the fuss. That had been one more area of her alpha duties she had taken to relatively well. She was the one who kept pointing out that the two of them wouldn't get a chance to do anything in a small way. With Makeda around doting on Aislinn and Sarah pretty much using her as the right hand the rest of the pack had stopped questioning Aislinn's rank and motivation. It was as if she had been part of the pack all along. She had decided to put off dealing with her druid half until after the mating was finished. She wanted to make sure she was accepted by the lycans before exploring anything that would make her seem more distinct than she already was. The only druidic thing she did was take a couple trips out to the reservation to speak with Brinah.Cullen put the last of the papers aside and pushed back from his desk. He had been feeling a bit disappointed that there had been no phone

A goofy grin started in the corners of his mouth. "You're pregnant? That's what's got you worked up?"Aislinn didn't say anything. But she dropped the block she'd erected in her head. Cullen felt the uncertainty. Mostly because she understood human pregnancy and human babies, but the idea of having lycan babies, a litter of lycan babies, was terrifying. Although she had gotten used to the fact that she had a learning curve in the pack environment, she didn't feel like a baby was something a learning curve was allowable with.Cullen stood up and moved around the table into her side of the booth. Aislinn could feel his happiness through their bond and it was helping a little. He put his arm around her and pulled her into his arms. He kissed her forehead and hugged her. "You will be an incredible mother," he said though his smile. He didn't know what else to say. He couldn't believe she was pregnant. Already.Aislinn started to wonder if he was going to get up out of the booth and start

Cullen felt the pain start even through the fog. "What the muin is happening," he growled. "She's in pain."The others watched him and then stared at the circle. "What can we do," Cadifor asked. "Is there a way to pull her out of there.""No," Cullen paced angrily and then roared as he walked into the stone circle and around it.When Aislinn crawled out from between the stones all of the others were already on guard and waiting for the worst. Jenna took one look around at the number of lycans there and turned and ran into the woods.Cadifor immediately changed and started the chase. His group of guards went with him. Cullen ordered Sarah to stay with Aislinn and then led the others after Cadifor. Aislinn remained on the ground holding her head. A bloody tear streamed out of one eye and down her face. She had no idea what had happened.Cullen was on Cadifor's heels but they were still losing ground. When they realized that they weren't going to catch Jenna the group pulled up. Cadifor
