Chapter 246 Three Pups?!

Ann sat on a secluded bench surrounded by climbing fragrant flowers in the garden near Bartholomew’s office, struggling to pull herself out of the stunned silence she had found herself in..

Pregnant. Three pups?!

Adam would be over the moon, although she wasn’t sure his enthusiasm was going to top Maeve’s.

“See? I told you! Wow! Three pups! They’re going to be the most beautiful pups you’ve ever seen! And strong too! We can take them for runs in the forest as soon as they shift and… I wonder when they’ll shift! With both parents being Alpha’s perhaps it will happen even sooner! Ann do you think…”

Ann listened numbly to Maeve’s chatter.

She had given up trying to answer her excited yapping and quite honestly, the constant noise was giving her a headache. Although that could also be the result of the mounting stress that she was finding herself under daily.

Emily had sent her away from her office with a prescription for supplements to ensure the babies grew well and she didn’t fall short on any essential nutrients whilst they grew.

She couldn’t give her an exact due date as there was so little known about Alpha Female pregnancies so with her permission, she had agreed that Emily could record and chart the pregnancy in minute detail so that she could produce an in-depth clinical paper for peer review when Ann delivered her pups successfully.
