Time went by slow and fast all the same, and it was weird.
The omega was shaking now, hugging her arms around her knees, which she had drawn up to her chest. Allie was trying to take some deep and calming breaths, tears burning behind her eyelids.His lack of response was biting at her skin. Silence blanketed them. They reached to the point where she felt overwhelmed and scared, the omega didn't know what to do or even what to think. Allie refused to move, seated in the corner of the bed with her eyes pressed shut forever, preferably.
"You're pregnant?" The Alpha croaked out, eventually, and she was rather grateful that the silence broke finally, even if the question was a bit nonsensical.
"Yes," The omega replied nonetheless, nodding her head once, twice jerkily. On instinct she dragged her right hand to her bump, softly letting those fingers caress over the t/His POV/“Lay on the bed, baby,” The Alpha whispered gruffly.Allie looked up at him with her huge doe eyes, drooping, blinking, and sleepy. He couldn’t help but rake his eyes down her body, all curves and wide hips. The light from the window casted a soft glow over her body which made it impossible for him to control himself. She looked like a vision in nothing but her red bra and panties.Desire flooded in his eyes, lips parting the more he stared.“What are you doing?" The omega raised her brows."Nothing, just admiring you."Her eyes squinted slightly, but she swallowed down any suspicions and followed through. Nate’s hand instantly reached to caress her and touch every part of her taut belly. He skimmed his fingers down, his touches featherlight and teasing until he reached the waistband of her panties whi
Allie was in the middle of putting on her shorts, adjusting them on her hips when the doorbell rang, followed by incessant knocking on the door. The omega spun around and walked the short distance between her room to the front door and opened it, revealing a very dishevelled Nate."Allie!" He's heaving for some reason. It's giving her all kinds of dirty images. "Are you okay? You texted me to come and didn't respond to my later texts. What happened?""Did you run here?" The omega asked dumbfounded.Nate shouldn't look so hot, all sweaty, dressed in joggers and a hoodie that seemed to have been thrown on in a hurry. His hair a mess of curls.The Alpha was still staring at her as if searching for any signs of immediate danger. "I did. You scared the shit out of me!" He explained, and when it's clear to him that her life wasn't in jeopardy, Nate glared at her. "What the fuck? W
Allie was only minimally surprised when there was a loud, incessant knocking sound on her door again. Even before the omega shuffled out of bed, she had a pretty good idea of who would be standing on the other side, waiting to be invited in. Her blood ran cold just at the thought of facing the Alpha.She couldn't look in his eyes and pretend that everything was alright when she had been lying to him all this time. The Alpha asked her several times before, but she dodged him every single time.Ashtons mop of hair was the first thing to have been caught by her eyes when she opened the door. He had a frown on his face."Would you look at that...my best friend is alive after all," The beta said as he pushed past her into the room and settled down on the desk chair, swirling it around so he could keep his gaze focused on Allie.Even though her friend seemed happy en
“Sorry!” Chris interrupted, closing the door behind him along with four other boys in tow. “I hope we weren’t interrupting anything.”He had nothing to apologise for. Its a locker room, and they were allowed to barge in any time. Allie took a step back, her cheeks flaming at the sudden attention. The omega should have known better to confront Nate in the locker room of all places.“Oh, no. Its nothing”When she let her gaze wander over the boys around, Allie couldn't help but focus on Nate. The Alpha, who seemed tense all of a sudden, his hand gripping onto the bag tightly, his knuckles turning white with the strength of it. There was an edge to his expression, and he was staring straight at her, eyes dark. She blinked back in confusion, wondering instantly what she'd done wrong now. Her heartbeat felt like a weird flutter against her ribcage.
Suddenly, Nate, had Brent pressed against the logs, the weapons around falling from their post at the impact of his body slamming into the wall. The Alphas hand was wrapped around the man's throat, his knuckles white and hot, his jawline becoming more prominent and deep. Allie noticed the veins in his neck were protruding as his eyebrows were furrowed together to create a crease, eyes low but piercing into Brents angrily through long eyelashes.The other Alpha’s face was beginning to turn blue under the cut off oxygen, his hands gripping Nate in an attempt to get Nate off him. But the football Captain barely moved a muscle or even flinch. He stood there, his body as rigid and powerful as Allie ever witnessed before.She didn't understand how they got in the situation initially, but as she began to put the puzzle pieces together, the omega realised. When Brent touched her, Nates inner hellhound must've reacted in a w
It felt like an eternity of racing before Allie had to stop to catch her breath, cheeks red and mouth partly falling open. She ran away. Again. Maybe it's something she did when faced with harsh reality. Resting her sweaty palms on her knees, the omega bent over, the air in her lungs burning as she inhaled the stinging cold.She couldn't hear the Alpha anymore from beyond the trees, and there was no light as far as the eye could see behind all the obstacles of nature. It was dark and quiet, producing an eerie feeling to seep through the cracks in the tree bark or to rise from the mossy floor.Alina heard stories.Stories of omegas claimed by the Pure Alpha Hellhounds against their will. Allie had the misfortune of having heard stories of abuse and violence; omegas kept barefoot and pregnant and nothing more than pretty baby-makers and subserviently doting to their Alphas. Especially when they we
/His POV/There was border diving each pack from the territories to avoid conflicts. The walls were high –made out of the most robust materials and, of course, the witch spell. And on top of them were very thin strings that Nate could see extending up in the trees.From the vantage point, the Alpha stood with Sal, one of the beta guards overlooking the strange wolves –could easily smell them, but there were much hiding up in the trees. What did they want?Werewolves and Hellhounds are always crossing each other paths, needed each other to produce the strongest breed but still never got along. The need for that seemed to be arising now that Nate got Allie pregnant with his pup.Staring at the werewolf Alpha standing on the other side of the gate, surrounded by his men, Nate followed his two guards, impressed by the pack security. It wasn’t his first rodeo with the w
Allie was about to climb into bed, dressed in a pair of shorts and a loose tee because it was so hot in the room, and she couldn't figure out the air conditioning system. The omega was so ready for some sleep that she barely recognised the guilt that overcame her for ruining the meeting. Nate refused to hear her out, choosing to storm out. She had no intention of making things complicated but they got out of hand so fast, so soon.The omega skipped the Pack dinner because the last things she wanted was to face Nates parents. They were figuring out ways to accept her and their future grandchild.As soon as her mind was brought back to the baby in her tummy, she couldn't help but choke. Allie didn't want this baby, not like this and not right now, so much was true. But still — the thought of getting rid of that tiny pup inside her didn't sit directly with her.The omega needed to see a shrin
As soon as he stepped out of the field, Nate was hounded by the reporters. He opened his mouth, but before he could say something, they all crowded him. From the corner of his eyes, he noticed his manager urging him to speak. The Alpha no choice but to stand there and answer the questions.The reporter opened her mouth, undoubtedly about to dig a little deeper. He turned away from the reporter, his eyes scanning the joyous faces of his teammates, Coach, trainers and co-trainers, medics and a dozen assistants, smiling broadly. Winning indeed bought a different kind of energy around the stadium."Congratulations, Mr Harper!"The Alpha nodded his head. "Thank you.""Are you here alone?""Yes"Why did they care? He still scored the winning goal, and their team won. What if no one came to see him? The reporters always asked him ridiculous q
As soon as the injured Alpha gave up, Allie rushed towards Nate. He was fighting so many of them on his own, which didn’t sit right with her. She noticed that Nates pack was exhausting their resources, sending the pack soldiers in front as much as they could. They also had to defend the packhouse from being raided and protect the safe room.Nate twisted the arm of the attacker, turning his head towards her. “Allie, why are you here? You need to go back!”“I don’t want to leave your side”, She yelled over the commotion, kicking the person who tried to swing by.The injured attacker pushed himself backwards to travel in her direction at a faster pace. She was overconfident and ignored him.The omega didn't expect the attacker to reach up, grip her forearm, and extract his claws to pierce deeply under her skin. Allie hollered in sharp p
Allies eyes comically widened as those words registered. She should have known that Harold would follow through with his plan. After all, he's an Alpha with a mission. A dangerous one at that. Her eyes shifted towards Nate, who visibly tensed at Sams words. "My pack is ready!" Nate clicked his tongue. "That werewolf can do whatever he wants. We will still win." The air in the room shifted. She didn't want Nate to have anything to do with that despicable man. Just the thought of him being all alone against him made her stomach curl in fear. As if the Alpha heard her thoughts, Nate cleared his throat. "Don't worry; my pack will be helping me." Sam heaved a sigh. "Wish I could help you in some way." "You helped. We had no idea that they are ready. Now we can be more cautious." "I mean by fighting against them" His voice raised. "They threatened to kill my baby sister, and I have done nothing about it." Allie cleared her throat, placing a hand on his. Tears dribbled down her chin, v
The Alpha pheromones were the first thing she registered, the scent heady and safe. Allie roused slowly, her eyes fluttering open only to squeeze shut at the bright light. Soft tufts of hair sprawled over the pillow where she pressed her face and whined. It's then the omega realised that someone was next to her.She felt so warm. So safe.Taking a deep breath, Allie stared at the person beside her, the contact between them burning with tenderness and comfort, intense and grounding.His hand was cradling her bump, face so close that she could see all his tiny freckles marring his skin. Nate let out a soft sigh, his eyes still closed. Allie leaned back into the embrace slowly, sighing in contentment.What was Nate doing beside her?Then she recalled everything."Allie, I had no idea what to do, so I called Nate," Rachel had whispered, running
Sitting in front of her, Nate appeared calm, which she noted bitterly. The Alpha always looked collected and sure of himself. She envied that, even more now. Allie struggled to find proper words, while Nate didn't have to worry about any of it.Even though she may be glowing, according to all her friends but the omega was also sporting dark eye bags and messy, flattened hair. She couldn't sleep the night before, worrying about her talk with Nate. The next morning, Allie slept in the bed for a long time, only waking up to her afternoon alarm."Allie?" The Alpha called out, his voice cautious and hesitant.She swallowed the lump in her throat. "Sorry, I got distracted."Nate sighed. The Alpha glanced at her before tugging on his roots; eyes narrowed together. "Why did you message me, Allie?"Even though his tone was polite and unaffected, Nate appeared irked. He glanced down
The omega was supposed to be dancing. It was her haven, something she did to take her mind off things. Due to her pregnancy and lack of suppressants, Allie chose to do online classes. She had enough drama in her life already.By the end of her dance class, they switched to a different routine which Allie was well aware of. Still, she couldn't perform it. That's why the instructor called her up immediately after class to reprimand the omega more blatantly for not paying enough attention."Allie", The dance instructor cleared her throat, taking a step forward. "I heard that you're expecting"At the mention of the baby, Allie blushed, her hand automatically coming up to cradle her mini bump. It's not fully visible under her practice leotard, but there was a noticeable curve where there hadn't been one before.Rachel couldn't stop cooing about it, talking to her belly as if the ba
The moment she stepped into the frat house, someone elbowed her in the side. She blinked and turned only to find her best friend, Ashton, with a deadly glare. Her friend stood in front of her, squinting his eyes against the light."I'm shocked you remember me!" He teased her, lips curving in a grin.It indeed has been a while. Allie was so wrapped up in her problems; she barely had time to talk with him. Ashtons one of her best friends, but she was in no mood for banter. Or anything else for that matter. Her only motive to visit the frat was to see Nate and confess everything.Her best friend had his hands on his hips, like he had any actual authority around here, brow raised. "I'm waiting...""Ashton, not now", She mumbled, hostile. "I need to speak with Nate."Her best friend twisted his lips. "I heard you on the phone."
Her mouth fell open as those words sank in, mind reeling. How did he know? Was her round belly that evident? On a whim, she stared down at her tummy, which was hidden by a layer of clothes. There's no way anyone could have known without Allie telling them.Most werewolf pregnancies don't start to show till they are two months. The omegas scent becomes thicker and sweeter, alerting the people of their condition. Maybe with the mixed species baby, it's different. Her hand immediately came around her stomach.Sam made a sound in the back of his throat. "Leader! You must be mistaken. She's unmated."Allie clenched her eyes shut, breathing accelerated. Her brother was defending her when he had no idea about her condition. This was not how she planned on telling him. Tears blurred her vision as she glared at the Pack Alpha.Harold darkly chuckled. "Oh, you sweet naive boy! Your sist
Allie couldn't believe her ears. How did they come to this? Months ago, she was content doing her job along with her brother. They both targeted the Hellhounds and finished the job with ease. No one bothered them.It seemed like in a matter of months; her entire life turned upside down. She's pregnant with a Hellhounds baby, found her Alpha, but they don't live together, and now someone wants to kill her. Granted, they had a reason to be angry, but this was not what she expected from the Crescent Pack.The omegas hand instinctively cradled her belly, swallowing the lump in her throat. "What are we going to do?"Sam threw his head back again. "Do our job, I guess."Allie couldn't help but recall the devastated look on Nates face, his sobs piercing her ear and causing goosebumps to rise all over the body. She didn't want to be the reason behind that pain anymore. Holding him and sha
