Alpha's Regret: The Seventh Time was Forever

Chapter 439: Delicious torture

’Marsha, I’m not even pregnant yet,’ Seraphine argued inside her head, desperately trying to keep her cool even after everything that had gone down.

But her wolf was practically bouncing with excitement, way more hyped up than before.’Your fancy medical knowledge doesn’t mean squat when it comes to what you’re carrying now. This is the most amazing thing ever!’

The sheer joy pouring out of Marsha’s voice was impossible to ignore, hitting Seraphine like a wave of pure sunshine mixed with a little bit of crazy.

Seraphine met his gaze and gave a little nod, letting out a soft sigh. "She’s losing it as usual. Now she’s dead set on the idea that I’m pregnant."

"My dad says the exact same thing, baby."

Voren’s voice came out calm and serious, without any of Marsha’s bubbly energy, which somehow made the whole thing feel a thousand times heavier and more real.

Seraphine had been fighting hard to push the whole pregnancy idea away, convincing herself there had to be some other explanation for everything she was feeling.
