“Wolves can only get their mates marked or fated pregnant. I’m assuming that’s not the case with dragons?” I asked him. And he shook his head.
“If we couldn’t get anyone else pregnant, I probably wouldn’t have worried about protection.” He told me.
“And you didn’t slip up once while using protection?” I asked him, but he didn’t answer.
“This can’t be happening.” He whispered.
Matt came to sit with us when he was all packed.
“Boss, I made a few calls. I’m having the hospital send over her records, and I’ve asked Dylan and Kyle to monitor her until we figure this all out.” Matt told Derek, and I thanked him. I don’t even think Derek was listening.
“When was the last time you slept with her?” Matt asked him.
“I don’t know. It was before our mission,” Derek answered.
“Okay, so about six weeks, then?” He asked. And Derek nodded.
“Why is she just contacting you now?” I wondered out loud.
“I can’t answer that. I haven’t spoken to her since I left on our mission.” He ran a hand through his hair, cursing.
“Did she try calling?” Matt asked, and he shook his head.
“Derek, Ashlyn will forgive you. But I think you should wait to tell her until we have all the information.” I told Derek and Matt agreed.
“There’s no point in getting her upset if it turns out not to be yours and causing her to worry over nothing.” Matt said, and I nodded.
When the others came into the living room, I explained we were not to say a word about this to Ashlyn, until we had all the information and Liam wasn’t having any of it.
“When she finds out that we all knew and she didn’t, she is going to reject us all.” He growled. And we were definitely all fucked.
Grabbing our bags and the boxes full of files, Sage opened a portal in the council building garden. My father was waiting for us at the front door and stomped his way over to us when he saw us.
“Someone better start explaining now?” He demanded, crossing his arms over his chest.
“There was a misunderstanding at home,” I told him, and his frown deepened.
“Where is she?” I asked before he could ask me anymore questions. He sighed.
“She’s in the library with the Fae Princess.” He told us.
He filled us in on what happened when she ended up at the building and why she was now in the library with the young princess.
“She met Jordan?” Sage asked, and the King nodded.
“Your father and brother still haven’t arrived, but I’m expecting the vampire Kings any minute now.” He told Sage, and she nodded.
“Did you know about Ashlyn?” My father asked, and I furrowed my eyebrows.
“What about her?” I asked him.
“That she shifts back into a gorgeous dress, wearing a tiara?” He clarified.
“I knew about the dress, but the tiara was new,” I told him.
“Dad, wolves can only get pregnant by their mates, right?” I asked him and he lifted an eyebrow.
“Yes, but only when the female is in her heat. Why? Has Ashlyn gone through a heat?” He asked.
“No, just asking.” I shrugged. He gave me a pointed look, but said nothing. How did Ashlyn get pregnant, if she hadn’t had a heat yet?
“Sage, how does a witch’s pregnancy work?” I asked her, and Brandon started choking while she started laughing at him.
“Why would you ask that?” Brandon choked out.
“I’m wondering if, because Ashlyn has magic, maybe it’s affecting her body differently.” I told him.
“Witches are pregnant for about 30 weeks and we can get pregnant anytime. Does that answer your question?” Sage said.
“No, now I have more questions.” I sighed.
“Like?” she asked me.
“Ashlyn didn’t get pregnant during a heat, she hasn’t had one yet.” I told her and my father gasped.
“Ashlyn is pregnant!” He exclaimed, and I shushed him.
“She miscarried.” I told him quietly.
“That’s awful. I’m so sorry to hear that, son.” My father gave me a hug.
“Thanks father, maybe when this is all over with, we’ll try again.” I told him. I didn’t even know if Ashlyn wanted kids.
“And Derek, how do you feel about all of this?” my father asked when he pulled away from me. Poor Derek looked like a deer caught in headlights.
“Father, we haven’t had that discussion yet.” I told him and he nodded.
“Fine, but I would like at least one grand baby and I’m sure Victor would also love one.” He said, and Derek started shaking again.
“We are going to head in. We’ll see you at dinner.” I told my father before I led Derek inside to get him away from everyone.
I went to the front desk and got our room keys before showing everyone where we would be staying. The council building is more like a castle. It has five wings and all the wings have living areas and about 10 bedrooms.
The key card worked for the door to enter our wing, and then everyone could take a bedroom. We all eat in the dining room with a long table that easily fits 60 people. There’s also an industrial-sized kitchen, a library and a pool. There are a few pack houses behind the castle for staff and warriors.
I led everyone to the Wolf wing and opened the front door with the key card. I gave a card to everyone and then told everyone to take a bedroom except the one with the double doors. That room was for Ashlyn, Derek and I.
I walked into our room, and Derek followed, closing the door behind him. I put mine and Ashlyn’s bags down on the couch. And turned my attention to Derek.
“I don’t think I can do this? I should go stay in the Dragon wing.” He told me and I shook my head.
“It will all be okay, but wait for Matt to receive the report and we can tell her together, okay?” I told him.
“Why are you helping me? I thought you’d be happy that she’d most likely reject me.” He asked, confused.
“I don’t want our mate to be hurt. This isn’t something to gloat over. This is our lives and a child’s life.” I told him. And he sighed.
