All Chapters of Carrying the Lycan Alpha's baby.: Chapter 51 - Chapter 58

CAROLINEMy life becomes routine.I wake up every morning alone because Salvatore always leaves before sunrise. Sometimes I find the faint imprint of him still lingering on the sheets beside me. Sometimes his scent still clings to the pillow. Sometimes I wake up reaching for him before remembering he’s already gone.Every single time, disappointment settles heavily in my chest.Then I go to work.The hospital no longer feels foreign now. The wolves still stare sometimes, but not as much as before. Some of them even greet me in the hallways now.The virus ward is getting worse. Patients are arriving faster now. Symptoms are mutating. Wolves heal incorrectly after infection. Nothing about it makes sense, which means I spend most of my time buried in work, surgeries and research.Then, after work, Sage and I lock ourselves in the archive rooms downstairs, surrounded by old medical records and forbidden supernatural texts she definitely is not supposed to have access to.Science and magic

CHAPTER 53CAROLINEHe kisses me harder, sliding his hot tongue back into my mouth. I wrap my arms around him desperately, needing him closer. My desperation for him shows, and I do not care about that. I just want him. I want his hands all over my body. I want more. I have missed him so much.Easily, he carries me and places me on the kitchen counter.He pulls away and stares at me with a hooded gaze. “Do you want to take this to the bedroom?”A smile pulls at the corners of my mouth, “What other option is there?”“We can stay here and continue what we’ve started, but we’re not home alone, and I do not want to scandalise your friend.” He flashes me a dirty grin, and I feel it all the way to my toes.“Then, you should probably take me to the bedroom.” I shrug, as my belly tightens with need.“Will you be quiet? You have to be quiet.” He carries me as if I weigh nothing, and I wrap my legs around him.I inhale sharply when I feel his hard dick between my legs. I know I shouldn’t, but I

CHAPTER 55Infected.CAROLINEThe first time it happens, I think I’m imagining it. The patient’s hand twitches against the restraints, fingers curling too tightly, and his nails scrape skin that should already be healing. The fever has pushed him into delirium, but that’s not unusual. What is unusual is the sound. A low, wet fracture under the skin.“Hold him steady,” I order, already moving closer.Nadia hesitates. “Doctor Blake, maybe you should –”“I said hold him.” My voice is calm. My moment of peace was with Sal, and now I am back to work. I need this whole thing to be over. I hate that I am missing so much of my pregnancy.The monitors spike, and his temperature climbs again, sharp and unnatural. Then his back arches violently against the bed. The restraints creak, and his skin ripples. Shit. I freeze for half a second. His spine is changing. What the fuck? A jagged distortion moves beneath his skin like something trying to remember a shape it was never meant to hold.His finge

CHAPTER 57CAROLINEThe room expands and collapses around me in slow, violent pulses. The walls are too close, then too far, then too close again. I am awake for all of it, and it is the worst part. There is no escape into sleep, no soft break between moments where my body forgets how much it is suffering. I am being unravelled from within, as if I am being rewritten. It is one thing to try to heal someone with the virus, but it is another thing to suffer from it because I know exactly what is happening to me. I know what awaits me, how painful it is going to get.My life flashes before my eyes, and I think about how I got here. All these began a few months ago because I decided to come here for a vacation. Now, I’m not only carrying a baby, but infected with a mystical virus.Everything is too loud. I press my palms against my ears until my fingers hurt, but it doesn’t change anything. The sound is not outside me. It is inside my bones. It is inside my teeth. It vibrates behind my e
