Pregnant And Rejected

Pregnant And Rejected By My Alpha Mate By Caroline Above Chapter 98

Chapter 98 The Sate House

Selene’s POV

Drake’s grim face stares up at me from my tablet, his last words slowly sinking into my brain.

This doesn’t make any sense.

Maybe we misunderstood. Luna suggests with a whine.

We didn’t misunderstand. Drake’s words were completely clear, and I can tell from his expression that this isn’t some sort of joke. He seems every bit as confused as I am, only his first instinct is clearly to assume the worst, while I’m wallowing in denial.

Just then Bastien walks in, and Lila races across the room to greet him, “Daddy, Daddy, Daddy!”

He snatches her up and tosses her into the air, causing the pup to shriek with laughter. “Lila, Lila, Lila!” He mimics, throwing her over his head a few more times before settling her against his broad chest and kissing her hello.

“Daddy, we went to da woods! She exclaims, launching into her account of the day. The trees were so big dey touch the sky!” Lila has seen forests before but never one like this. The pup had been so taken with the ancient sequoias dominating the Novan forest that she decided to name them. By the time she was done, the list was so long I had to promise to write down all the names when we got home, so she wouldn’t forget.

Lila is rattling off her favorite ones as Bastien carries her into the living room, his wide smile disappearing when he sees the look on my face. I rise from the sofa before he can reach me, still holding the tablet.

Bastien’s eyes dart between Drake’s face and my own, “Baby?”

Glancing at Lila, I hedge, “You remember when you arrived in Asphodel, and I took Lila to stay at that house in the hills?”

“Yes.” He agrees, sounding like he doesn’t appreciate the reminder.
