Pregnant And Rejected

Pregnant And Rejected By My Alpha Mate By Caroline Above Chapter 129

Chapter 129 Bastien Runs Into An Old Friend

Selene’s POV

Having Drake here is an absolute Goddess send.

Not only is he precisely the kind of familiar and loving face I needed to help soothe Lila’s overwhelmed nerves, but he was with me throughout my first pregnancy and knows exactly how to make me feel better.

When I crave something sweet, the Eros Alpha knows what brand of cookies to buy. When I turn green and make a run for the bathroom, he knows to turn up the air conditioning and pour me a glass of ice water. When I start to cry over nothing, he knows which jokes to tell in order to make me laugh.

Still, as relieved as I am to have my friend close by, his sudden appearance makes me uneasy. “I don’t understand.” I admit once the initial excitement has died down, “when did Bastien call you?

Lila and I are seated on the edge of the bed in the guest suite, watching Drake and Sophie unpack. It’s sort of strange to see them together, but both look happier than I can ever remember seeing them. I grin every time Drake catches Sophie’s eye and a bright red flush works its way up her cheeks. In fact, they’re so preoccupied with each other, Drake almost misses my question.

“In truth he called me before he left.” The Alpha admits, “we were going to come in a couple of weeks, but then…” He trails off, glancing at Lila.

“Then he met his welcoming party and asked you to come sooner?” I surmise, censoring my words for the sake of my pup.

“You guessed it.” Drake agrees, pausing to ruffle Lila’s hair. “But that was fine by me, I wasn’t sure I’d survive another week without seeing my favorite little bean.”

“Uncle Rake, I’ve so much to show you!” My daughter replied eagerly. “We have to go to da forest, and Mommy’s new cafe and da museum.”

“We’ll go to all those places and more, munchkin.” He promises, pausing when he sees the exasperated look I shoot him. “Assuming your Mommy agrees its safe.”

“Why wouldn’ be safe?” Lila inquires, cocking her head to the side, “dis is Daddy’s city.”
