She nods and hurries out of the room.
‘You should have told her.’ Nyx mutters ‘I’m fine.’ I mutter back ‘Just because you are ignoring the pain in your body, it doesn’t mean that you are fine!’ ‘I’m carrying twins. It’s just uncomfortable.’ ‘Raven’s a doctor!’ Nyx argues.
‘I know and she is caught up in the whole new mate bond stuff I will be fine will get something to eat.’
I swing my legs over the bed and push myself up. It took more effort than I expected but as soon as I am up, I made my way out into the hallway. Now I had thought about food, I realized I was starving.
Heading towards the stairs, my legs give out from under me, plummetingdown each step. My head hits something and everything goes dark.
“Ow!”
I mutter, stretching myself out. My hand automatically goes between my thighs. No blood, thank fuck for that. These pups were stronger than expected.
There’s a knock on the front door.
“Cin.”
I mutter from the floor.
“Shit. Are you alright?”
Unfamiliar dark eyes appear and a hand slides into mine, helpingup.
“You must be Damien?”
I mutter, noticing his neck tattoos while rubbing the back of my head. If I had a wound, it would have probably healed by now anyway.
“I am, though this was not the way I intended on introducing myself. You should get checked out.”
“I’m fine.”
“You are pregnant though. I can smell it.”
“I will be fine.”
I spit out the final word He nods his head atas I sit on the bottom step. “You may think so, but you should still get yourself looked at. You are the female Alpha.”
I roll my eyes at him. “Is that why you are here? You are looking for someone to lead you?”
“I’m looking for the only person that can lead us.”
His dark stare is intense. If I didn’t know better, I would say he had learned it from Dane. But something tellsit was the way he always looked at things, even when he was human. “And I want to offer you my protection.”
Nyx snorts and I almost do too. But his face is serious. “From what?”
“Whatever is coming.”
“What is coming?”
I ask He just stares at me. Dark and mysterious. Exactly how Dane was when I first met him.
“And what about Raven?”
“What about her?”
“She’s your mate.”
I mutter “I am aware.”
“Are you going to reject her?”
“I don’t know her well enough to make a decision.”
She didn’t go to him like I suggested. Maybe I could force them together. “Actually, can you taketo the hospital? Maybe I should get checked out.”
He walks with me, stopping when we are just outside the hospital doors. “Is something wrong with Raven?”
He asks with a frown.
“No, she’s the pack doctor.”
His face is unreadable, but he still followsinside.
“Ne….”
Raven’s voice fades off to a squeak as she focuses on the man who is her mate.
“I fell down the stairs.”
I mutter and explain to her about the pain. She beckonsin for a scan and m Damien follows. He stands in the doorway watching, but now and again, his dark eyes would move to Raven. Raven tried her best not to look at him, so much so that beads of sweat were forming on her brow.
The heartbeats of the twins flood the room just as Dane comes charging in. He pushes past Damien with a frown and presses his lips to mine. “Sorry, we were cutting Roan’s fingers off. Are you okay?”
I nod.
“Tell Nyx to stop blocking me.”
“She needs to rest.”
Raven snaps at him “Both boys’ heartbeats are om strong. But you must rest: It is still a it your risky pregnancy.”
Raven warns me.
“And I don’t want to confine you to the bed just yet.” “Out of curiosity, can you tell what they are?”
It was Damien’s first words to her. “Wolves or Lycans?”
“No.”
Her answer is far more abrupt than usual. Was she annoyed with him? Ashburn
Damien She was a pretty little thing. I thought that the moment I first laid my eyes on her. My mate. A Wolf. Though she didn’t deserve someone like me. I watch her move around the Alpha. She is quick and thinks on her feet.
Her dark hair is loosely pulled back into a hair bobble with a few escaped hairs at the top of her neck. As her dark eyes catch mine, I notice a fleck of light brown just under her left pupil. She quickly looks away, returning all her attention to the Alpha, smiling as the heartbeats fill the room.
Her happiness makes her scent of strawberries explode and for a brief second, I wondered if she would taste of them too.
I barely notice Dane pushing past me. I just watch her lips move as she scolds them both When the all clear is given, I finally ask the question that had been playing on my mind since I first scented Neah’s pregnancy.
Raven shoots daggers at me, like I had asked the worst question in the world. She givesa short and sharp “No!”
Dane’s strange red eyes find mine and I remember what he toldearlier. Raven isn’t a fan of us. Maybe she hated the idea of being mated toI step outside the room, leaving the three of them alone. Though I don’t leave completely, standing guard over her room instead. I will protect the Alpha even if she doesn’t wanttoo Dane steps out, closing the door to the room. “The question you asked, it’s been asked multiple times by the asshole in my dungeon. That’s why she is so short with you.”
“Sorry.”
I wasn’t the type of person to apologise, but he had to know it was a genuine curiosity, nothing more. In theory, if I don’t reject Raven. they becmy nephews too. They becmy family.
“The guy in the dungeon, he’s the one who wants the pups?”
I ask He nods his head at me. “He was also the one who had Jess removed from the house. It was his brother that you left for the Rogues.”
“Right.”
“Thanks for convincing her to be checked out.”
Dane mutters. “Just give my sister time, she was rejected by her first mate.”
“You know?”
I ask surprised. My intention was to keep it quiet. at least until I had figured out if we were compatible.
