All Chapters of The Alpha and his Awaited Mate: Chapter 321 - Chapter 330

LucasI am freaking out. We are sitting in the waiting room for my OB appointment. I have already given urine and blood samples. Marcus gently settles his warm hand on my bouncing knee.”I’m here, love…” he murmurs softly and leans closer to peck my cheek.”Alright, Lucas, we are ready for you” the midwife comes into the lobby.We get up, and I feel so nervous I am actually a bit nauseous. I feel terrified about this pregnancy. And I feel terrible that I feel terrible. Guilt is gnawing at my insides. Some people never get the chance to have their own baby, and here I am, with an accidental pregnancy, not wanting to go through it. I am a terrible, terrible person. I feel tears stinging my eyes. Marcus senses my inner turmoil, and his steady hand comes to the small of my back.”Okay, so if you could just lie down, open the button of your jeans, and lift your shirt, please” the midwife instructs me. I lie on the crunchy, paper-covered examination table, open my button, and lift my shirt.

XanderThe high school gymnasium is absolutely buzzing with the chaotic energy of hundreds of teenagers, and we have been slammed since the moment the doors opened. We are standing proudly behind our Air Force recruitment booth, dressed in our crisp, official uniforms.Both of our service jackets have BEAUMONT spelled out in bold letters across the chest name tapes. The only difference is the rank insignia. Alex's sleeves feature the heavy, impressive stripes of a Master Sergeant, while mine are completely blank, reflecting my status as a trainee. It is a subtle detail, but to anyone in the military, the hierarchy is clear. To these high schoolers, though, we just look like a team of giant, intimidating men in blue.There are literally dozens of students waiting in a long line just to get to our table and ask their questions. I am completely in my element, grinning like a kid on Christmas, handing out informational brochures, and answering everything they throw at us.And let me tell

I let out a long, shaky breath and turn my body toward the passenger seat.”Xander…” I begin, my voice raspy, raw with vulnerability. ”I need to explain. Ten years ago, when he broke the bond, it shattered me. It tore a piece of my soul out. When he walked in today, it wasn't that I wanted him—Goddess, no—it was just the sheer, suffocating shock of the trauma catching up to me. My body froze before my brain could process it. I am so sorry I left you to fight that battle alone. I never wanted you to feel threatened by my past.” I explain earnestly.I look at him, my heart hammering against my ribs as I brace myself for his reaction. I expect confusion. I expect uncertainty, anger, or maybe a flicker of jealousy.To my utter, absolute amazement, Xander isn't angry at all. There isn't a single trace of doubt or insecurity etched into his beautiful features. He just sits there, his blue eyes incredibly calm, reflecting a profound, immovable peace. He reaches across the center console, w

Aiden”Julie, babe, I love you, but if you pack one more textbook into this box, we are going to need a forklift just to get it down the stairs!” I groan, wiping a mock layer of sweat from my forehead.We are currently buried under a mountain of cardboard boxes and packing tape inside her tiny dorm room. It is absolute, beautiful chaos. Moving into our new apartment is supposed to be a serious logistical operation, but with Julie around, it always turns into a competitive sport of playful banter and distraction.”Aiden, those are my important books, those are my psychological thrillers and advanced statistics journals!” Julie retorts, popping up from behind her desk like an adorable, chaotic badger. She brandishes a roll of packing tape at me. ”They are structural supports for the entire foundation of my future career. Lift with your legs, Wolf-Boy. You’re supposed to have super strength!””Super strength doesn't protect my lower back from the weight of human academic ambition” I ru

I jolt awake. It’s the middle of the night. Ashton is not in bed. Actually, I am not in bed either. I’m lying on grass. I sit up and look around. I think I know this place. I keep glancing around. Yep—the flowers, butterflies, rainbows, and serene atmosphere.”My child…” a celestial voice calls from somewhere.”Hello?” I stand up and look around, but I can’t see anyone.”Sebastian… love…” another voice now calls. Ashton?”Yes?” I answer, still not finding any being around me.”Daddy!” a small child exclaims. I keep turning around, trying to find the person the voice belongs to.”Son…” Now that’s my dad.”Hello?” I shout, and still can’t see anyone.”What is this? Where am I? Why am I here?” I ask, and start walking towards a pond. Once I reach the pond, I finally see someone sitting on a rock.”Hello?” I approach the figure.”My child…” It’s the Moon Goddess.”Hello” I bow a little. She smiles at me.”I’m glad you are here” she says, turning her head to look at the water. I don’t k
