Pregnant And Rejected

Pregnant And Rejected By My Alpha Mate By Caroline Above Chapter 114

Chapter 114 Honeymoon

Bastien’s POV

The Eclipse Festival sprawls before us, a whirlwind of lights and colors so overwhelming I can feel my mate leaning close to me for comfort. It’s not only the size of the event and deafening noise around us unsettling her, it’s also the attention. We’re still in the VIP section, and wherever Selene and I walk people turn to stare, and I can’t help but notice how different things are from the past.

Four years ago these aristocrats would have been whispering behind their hands and curiously eyeing Selene’s unmarked neck. Tonight there’s a sense of reverence in their attention, an admiration and respect my sweet mate is still struggling to get used to. Even though it’s the proper response, I can’t help but feel angry it took my pack this long to see Selene for the treasure she is. They should have been bowing down to her from day one.

“How are you doing, little wolf?” I murmur as we enter a shining pavilion, pausing to nibble her earlobe and relishing the blush that bursts across her cheeks.

She peeks up at me from beneath her lashes, “I could use a distraction.”

“Oh?” I reply, moving my tongue to the soft spot behind her ear, “What kind of distraction?”

“This is working fairly well.” She admits, turning to face me completely and closing her eyes as I continue to taste her. “I can almost forget they’re all watching.”

“It’s just a little while longer.” I promise, glancing up at the moon. It’s almost completely obscured now, a huge red orb rimmed with a crescent of pearly light. As soon as the eclipse is complete we’ll go out to the main festival stage and kick off the fireworks. I’ll make a short speech, and then we’ll be free to go.

Just then a chirping noise sounds from the vicinity of Selene’s hip, followed by a soft vibration.

She pulls her phone from a hidden compartment in her gown, flipping open the notification center and scanning the contents. Then Selene looks up at me with a brilliant, contagious smile. “Drake finally told Sophie!”

“And?” I ask, grinning back at her.
