Chapter 122

56 I Have My Reasons

Eli POV

I stare at our beautiful mate as she feeds our little girl. I never thought I would be here having this second chance and feeling whole again. Losing Clara almost killed me, but I had to live for Faith. Now that I have Calliope and I know that she is carrying our pup, I feel the fear wanting to swallow me whole again. Calliope looks at me and I know despite the block I put up she can feel my concern. “Eli, you need to talk to me. We are in this together and I don’t appreciate you blocking me out. There should never be a reason that we can’t be present in each other’s minds.” I walk over and place a kiss on her forehead and then Faith’s. “I’m sorry love. I never want to keep things from you. I am just worried. I won’t block you out again.” “Good, now tell me what’s going on in that beautiful mind of yours.” I chuckle “I know that we have only been together for a short time, but I believe everything happens for a reason. You are my destiny and you make me whole. Silas just told me something and I’m not sure how you will feel about it, but I’m over the moon.” Her hand freezes in the air before it reaches Faith’s lips. She turns her head to look at me but I can’t decipher the look on her face. Before anything can be said, our daughter’s first sweet word breaks the silence. “Mama” she says and both our heads whip in her direction.

That is amazing and soon we will have another pup to love. How could I not be happy about that?” “Eli, I know you’re afraid, but I promise you that I will protect this pup just as I will protect Faith.” I hate to even speak my next words out loud but I know if I don’t tell her how we are feeling that I would be hiding something from her. I don’t want there to be secrets between us. “Silas and I don’t

Calliope POV

mamas and I’m just so happy to be one of them. I lift her from her highchair, holding her to my chest. Eli holds us like we are his whole world. I feel the same way. “Aurora is Silas saying that we are having a pup?” She looks like the cat that swallowed the canary. “Why didn’t you tell me?” “Silas and I wanted Eli to be the one to tell you. We are very early in our pregnancy”, Aurora says. Eli has let the block down and I can feel his happiness mixed with fear. I understand why he is afraid, but I will always protect our pup. “His fear isn’t just about something happening to our pup, Calliope.” When he says that he and Silas don’t want us to be involved in the fight with Grant’s pack I’m torn. I want to fight by Eli’s side,

pack but I don’t want Magnum uncomfortable when we return to visit my family. Eli has allowed me to decide his punishment. I have never dated any pack member because I only wanted my fated mate. I don’t appreciate him even saying that I would take him as a chosen mate. As we go down the stairs that lead to the cells, I see Marcus. I’m grateful that he alerted Eli of what Liam was doing or things may have ended very differently. “Marcus, Eli told me what you did. I can’t tell you how much I appreciate that you are a man of honor.” “You never have to thank me for doing the right thing Larisa. Besides I could tell that they were no threat to us.” After I introduce him to Magnum we head to the cell where Liam
