~Tamia~
Everyone was elated by the news except for Sylvester. I could see he was happy, but he squeezed my hand gently.
“Thank you, doctor, but why is she ill? Linda is pregnant, and she isn’t ill,” He said, and I could understand his reaction to the news.
“People experience pregnancy differently, but I will still take her blood sample to test for other things. If there is anything, she is already recovering from it. I will give her a mild sedative to help her relax and sleep it off, but there is no cause for alarm here. She will be alright when she wakes up; she just needs to rest,” He said.
“I will administer a mild sedative to help her rest”, he added.
The doctor administered the medication and left. Leaving Sylvester, Avery and me in the bedroom.
My eyes became heavy, and I fell asleep.
I woke up to see Sylvester lying beside me in bed and working on his computer. I groaned, and he looked at me and smiled.
He put his computer on the nightstand and kissed my forehead.
“If you were a child, I would have said you were grounded,” He said with a tinge of anger, and I understood.
His eyes were teary, and he was fighting his emotions.
“Anything could have happened to you out there, Tamia. Anything. Why would you keep something so significant from me?” He asked, and I gradually sat up.
“Had I told you I was throwing up and feeling feverish, you would not have allowed me to go, and I did not trust the council to do your bidding in the west,” I said, and he bowed his head and then looked at me.
“How are you feeling now?” He asked and placed his hand gently on my belly.
His touch felt good against my skin, and I wanted his hand to linger.
Kaira was silent because she was ashamed of what we did and what she almost allowed to happen. I understood her shame.
“Don’t do this again. Always tell me what you are going through, Tamia. We will get through it together no matter how terrible it is,” He said, and I nodded.
“So we will be parents soon,” he said with a broad grin, and I smiled at him.
I felt like shit.
How would I tell him I saw Devin and we made out? How would I tell him he was my fated, but I rejected him? How?
“Please don’t,” Kaira pleaded with me, afraid.
I understood her fear because making out with Devin and almost allowing him to claim us felt like a great betrayal.
“How were things over there?” he asked, and I told him everything Alpha Jake told me about the attack.
He took off his shirt and snuggled into bed beside me to hold me.
I felt at peace when he wrapped his arms around me and enveloped me with his scent. I held him resting my head on his chest, and looked up at him.
