Alpha's Regret: The Seventh Time was Forever

Chapter 499 - The beginning is always the hardest part

’Bloodfang... what’s going on?’ The question echoed through Voren’s mind, heavy with concern.

For the first time since Seraphine came into their lives, Bloodfang sounded completely worn out, his voice lacking that usual bold confidence.’That pup is far more powerful than we ever expected,’ he said slowly, like every word took real effort.

’Think about it. Your parents didn’t have black and white wolves. Neither of them carried the kind of overwhelming power you and Seraphine possess.’

Voren’s eyes widened as everything suddenly clicked into place. It wasn’t just his bloodline. Seraphine’s was just as extraordinary. If their pup inherited the full strength of both of them, the possibilities were beyond anything he could even begin to imagine.

’Then don’t waste your strength talking to me,’ Voren answered quietly.’Sera is the most important person in my life. Save every bit of energy for her and our pup.’

For once, Bloodfang didn’t tease him or complain. He simply went silent. Voren couldn’t help missing his wolf’s usual playful attitude. The heavy silence only proved just how exhausted Bloodfang truly was.

Ending the mind link, Voren turned toward Seraphine and gave her a reassuring smile. "I think our pup is going to be stronger than both of us put together." His eyes softened with wonder. "He or she may inherit both of our powers."

Seraphine rested a hand gently on her stomach and nodded. "I’ve been thinking the same thing." A faint smile crossed her lips. "It’s only the first trimester. This is when the pup’s body is being formed. The months after this are mostly just for growth and development."

She looked at him lovingly. "The beginning is always the hardest part." Her fingers intertwined with his. "We just have to get through it together."

"We will," Voren said with a warm smile before his expression slowly turned playful. A dramatic groan escaped him as he let out an exaggerated sigh. "You know... I had a completely different plan for tonight." One eyebrow lifted teasingly. "But I guess I’ll have to let it go."

Seraphine couldn’t help smiling, knowing what it was. If their wolves were the ones keeping her strong, then the least she could do was reserve her energy to not completely wear them out. "You’ll survive."
