Pregnant And Rejected

Pregnant And Rejected By My Alpha Mate By Caroline Above Chapter 118

Chapter 118 Dr’s Appointment

Selene’s POV

Frowning at my reflection, I try to focus my attention inward, reaching deep to try and access the well of my powers. I’ve been working at it every day, wanting to learn how to do more than send out a few random energy bursts. I want to figure out how to do all the things I read about in Odette’s books, and Bastien has been encouraging me to practice as much as possible so long as stay far away from the pool.

I’ve turned the lights down low, staring determinedly at the shadows and begging them to bend to my will. Of course they don’t budge one bit, they remain stubbornly fixed in the nooks and corners of our walk in closet.

Grumbling with frustration, I try to take a few deep breaths and reset, but Bastien rounds the corner before I can, no doubt summoned by my disgruntled noises. “What’s wrong, little wolf?” He asks, not stopping until I’m completely wrapped in his arms.

“I’m trying to bend the stupid shadows and it’s not working. It seems like everything I try today is just bound to fail.” I complain.

I’m expecting a speech offering support and encouragement, instead I find my husband’s brow furrowed in worry. “Sweetheart, I think you should hold off practicing your powers for a while.”

“What?” I question in surprise. “What happened to, the more you’re able to defend yourself, the better’?”

“We don’t know how any of this might affect the baby.” Bastien answers simply. “I don’t think we should risk it.”

I hadn’t thought of that. I admit to Luna, suddenly awash with anxiety.

I’m sure it’s fine. My wolf answers. The powers are a part of us. So is the pup. Surely they can’t harm it.

I’d like to think that too. I agree, but I know so little about all this… Bastien’s probably right.

“We can ask the doctor.” I decide, rubbing a hand over my cloth covered belly. My appointment is later this afternoon, and Bastien cleared his schedule so he could come along. I had been looking forward to getting my first ultrasound, now I’m overflowing with eagerness to find out if I can continue training.

“No.” Bastien replies sharply, bursting my bubble. “I don’t want anyone outside of the family to know about your powers, Selene.”
