“Your mother wants to have breakfast with you and you’re ditching her for your girlfriend? Eat with your mom, and then go to your girlfriend,” who does she think she is talking to me like that? I watched her as she pulled out the chair for me and pointed at it without looking at me. “Sit,” and yet, I felt compelled to listen to her.I skipped the chair she had pulled out for me and she smiled, shaking her head. I sat down and crossed my arms over my chest. She giggled and covered her lips, my eyes immediately looked at them and I sighed annoyed.“You’re such a big baby,” she laughed and my mother joined her.“He is my big baby boy,” she said as she kissed my cheek and I groaned, wiping my face.“Mom!” I whined and Amanah laughed even harder. “And I’m an Alpha, not a baby,” I said and Amanah nodded her head.“Yeah, a baby alpha,” she said and they laughed even harder, it was kind of nice listening to them laugh instead of complaining, for once ever since she got here, I didn’t feel so
I sat on the couch waiting for Miall to arrive, my knees bobbed up and down as I sat on my hands bored, Nyleve couldn't wait with me because she had a pack meeting to get to which Miall could be excused for because she’s there.This packhouse was weird, it was divided into two sections, Nyleve’s house and the literal packhouse. She said she wanted it that way because then she would be able to have access to everyone who would need her, she was such a mother to everyone and it was cute.“I hope I didn’t keep you waiting long?” Miall said as he walked in looking frustrated already.“No?” I asked getting up, I smoothed down my skirt and put my arms behind my back looking up at him. “Mom went to the pack meeting,” I said to him as he looked around.“Oh, the pack meeting,” he whispered, threading his fingers through his hair. “I totally forgot about that,” he said and I had no idea how to respond to that.“She said she will fill in for you,” I said slowly, this was awkward. Just because I
“You don’t like him?” I asked her and she shook her head.“No, I love him but ever since he started hanging out with,” she leaned down to my ear and whispered, “Willow, he’s been unbearable,” she said and I smiled, I guess it isn’t only Nyleve and Malakhi who see it. “And I’m assuming he’s the reason you were crying?” she asked, looking sorry and I shrugged.“It is what it is,” I said and she shook her head. “I’ll get over it soon,” I said and she held my shoulders.“You will because you just made a new friend,” she pointed to herself. “Me, I’ve been in here a bit too long, I’ll see you out there okay lovely?”“Okay, Anin,” I laughed and waved as she left me in the restroom alone. I wiped my eyes once more and took a few deep breaths in before leaving to join Miall. I sat down with a seat between us, just like he did this morning, and of course, he told me to stop hanging out with Orion, so I guess that also applies with him too.“Are you okay?” He asked leaning towards me, maybe I sh
“Wow,” Nyleve said again for the umpteenth time, she sat on my bed blushing over the scans, it was the first time I was seeing her smile like this.“Would you like to keep that one?” I asked her and she looked at me surprised.“Really?”“Yeah, you can keep it,” I said smiling.“I’m going to frame it!” She said excitedly. “I’m sure Miall is looking at it right now,” she said looking at the scan.“He didn’t take one,” I said to her and she turned her head.“What? Why?”“I don’t know, but he did ask me to stop hanging out with Orion because he’s in love with Willow and whatnot,” I said, waving my hand as I prepared to go to bed.“He said what!?” She got up and I shrugged. “He should be spending time with you, does he not know how important it is for vhafunwa to be with each other at this period! I’m going to have to talk to him.”“Nyleve, it’s alright. I respect his decision and it just shows he’s serious about Willow, you should be more understanding, she’s going to be your daughter in
Two weeks passed like a breeze, I hadn’t seen Miall since then nor Orion, I was actually surprised that he did respect Miall’s decision. To be honest, life was peaceful now even though it was kind of crappy in the beginning, I adjusted.I put my hands on my waist as I looked at the wall we had just finished painting with Malakhi, Nyleve had graciously and excitedly given me another room for the baby, and I obviously couldn’t wait to start filling it up with everything for my baby’s arrival.Luckily I had Anin, Malakhi and Nyleve to help me with everything, it kind of sucked that Miall couldn’t be here for this but Nyleve and Malakhi did say that he was working, the only two people in this house that actually got to see him.“Where do you want me to put these?” Malakhi asked carrying the rocking chair and the bassinet crib at once. I pointed to the wall closest to the door and he placed them down.“Ooh you’re so strong aren’t you? Carrying everything at once,” I teased and he chuckled
This part of my day felt sane, lately, I felt like I’ve been losing it. Things haven’t been the same since I cut off the connection between Orion and Amanah, I haven’t even been around to see her and the guilt has got me by the neck.That isn’t even the worst of it, sometimes, I wake up right outside Amanah’s room and I know that it’s Orion who takes me there, it’s as if he’s torturing me just to see what my reaction would be, he knows I can’t see her because I feel bad for what I did.He hides the memories of the things he does when he takes over, but he never fails to always play the memory of Amanah crying herself to sleep, he plays it over and over again, the moment I feel peace, I see her staring at the ceiling with her hands placed over her belly as the tears stream down her skin. If I’m ever with Willow, the picture of Amanah is plastered all over my head and I can’t think.“What are you thinking of?” My mom asked and I looked at her and smiled, I am so grateful she’s here with
“As long as it’s my baby you’re carrying, you belong to only me. You’re mine,” I stared at Miall, shocked at what he had just said, and why the hell is it exciting me? Can he hear how loud my heart is beating against my chest? I must be dreaming because he would never say that, ever!“Anyway, your girlfriend was here looking for you,” I said, playing it off as I walked away to the baby’s room. I'M SHITTING MY PANTS, HE SAID I'M HIS! Wait a minute, Miall hasn't been around for two weeks and now he thinks he can pull this male authority, territorial, possessive stunt on me? “You know, if you’re going to disappear on her you should at least tell her where you’re going, I hate being bothered,” I rolled my eyes as I pushed open the door.“Well, I’m here with you now aren’t I?” He leaned against the door smirking, and can we all take a minute to appreciate this man in a suit? I mean I did the first night I met him but it ended up on my apartment floor. Looking at his neck and the exposed c
I wasn’t angry with Miall anymore, in fact, I liked the fact that he came to spend the rest of the day with me, even though in the beginning he acted like an ass but it was nice being around him.I finished bathing and getting dressed, walking into my room, I found Miall sitting on the bed looking at the scan, I climbed behind him and peeked over his shoulder. “What gender do you think it is?” I asked him and he looked at me and shrugged. Is this what people mean when they say someone took their breath away? Staring at Miall like this felt illegal, his scent wafted through my nostrils and I had already fallen into a trap laid by his eyes. Why do they look so soft today? His canines cutely showed as he smiled, he genuinely looked happy and it made me feel like I was falling for him, why does it feel okay for me to want him even though I know he could never be with me. Perhaps I'm just too close to him.“I don’t know, whatever they are I want them despite what the pack says about it,”
