Pregnant And Rejected

Pregnant And Rejected By My Alpha Mate By Caroline Above Chapter 133

Chapter 133 Waiting

Selene’s POV

It’s been three days, and still Bastien hasn’t called.

I’m trying not to be an alarmist and avoid jumping to conclusions, but I can’t help but feel a sweeping sense of dread. Something is wrong. I know it. My mate wouldn’t let so many days go by without checking in, if not for Lila’s and my piece of mind, but for his own. I know how worried he was for our safety when he left, he wouldn’t just stop calling.

Luna has been beside herself since Bastien left, but now she’s really starting to lose it. Her agitated energy is combining with my own nerves and constant nausea in a very unpleasant way, and I’m starting to think all this turmoil will drive me completely crazy. There’s only so much a she wolf can take.

What makes it worse is that Lila has been asking on a nearly hourly basis when Daddy is going to call, and the best I can tell her is that I don’t know. Drake and Sophie have been a big help, distracting her and keeping her busy when I’m working on the cafe transition. Of course, they can only do so much, especially when they’re distracted themselves being so newly mated.

“Come on.” I tease Drake when we’re alone after dinner, “Out with it, when’s the wedding?”

“Who says there has to be one?” He answers slyly. “We’re already mated. I’ve never seen the point of weddings when the mate bond is so much more powerful than a piece of paper.”

“Maybe because you’re going to have your own hormonal mess to deal with before too long.” I tease, only half joking. It’s true some she wolves can go through a heat cycle with their mate and not end up breeding, but that’s quite an uncommon outcome unless contraception is being used.

Drake grunts in acknowledgement, but I can see the corners of his mouth twitching. Oh yes, he likes that idea. Typical man they get to have all the fun watching the miracle happen while we have to suffer through it. At least, most men get to watch Bastien missed seeing Lila come into being is he going to miss this baby too?

“Hey, stop it.” Drake orders in his usual, bossy fashion. My friend always has had a habit of mind reading. Not only that, he’s always been under the mistaken impression that he can somehow dictate the thoughts of others. Only an Alpha. I think ruefully.

“I can’t help it.” I moan. “I can’t stand this. Lila is so confused, I feel like hot garbage and my mate is thousands of miles away, probably trapped in that psychopath’s dungeon!”
