Xander’s POVIt was his turn to be surprised. “How was I supposed to know? She barely smells like a mated wolf.” I’ve been trying to understand why she doesn’t smell so much like a mated wolf at first I thought the issue was from or maybe it was nose or something. “I know. I didn’t find out from her scent. I had to run tests after I found her.” He passes me a paper.“It’s the test result,” he clarifies.I stare at it, and there it was—she was, in fact, pregnant. I read the results a few more times to be sure.The anger that had consumed me was nowhere to be found as excitement took over. I’m going to be a father. I feel my wolf pacing with joy within me.I’ve always dreamt of becoming a family man with a lot of kids. I’ve always had this affinity for kids; they’ve always loved me.I’m finally going to become a father. The thought alone made a smile creep up on my face.“She is pregnant,” I whisper, staring at the test results once more.“But you didn’t notice any changes from her?” L
Aria's POV"Eight months," I whisper-yell the words, causing my head to throb."Fuck," I mutter, placing my hand on my head to subside the pain."Easy," Xander smiles, placing his hand on mine squaring it in a comforting manner. "Are you sure it’s been eight months? It shouldn’t have been that long. Does that mean they’ve gone along with the plan with the poison I made? So I wasted days of my life making it just for them not to use it because I was out.""Sunshine, I was just joking," he must’ve noticed the horror expression on my face. I took a deep breath."Are you sure?" I inquire. He could be lying just to get me to calm down. What if I lost the chance to avenge my parents? What if he didn’t get to kill v victor, what if he survived and his currently an enemy to the pack. What’s if it has been years not months, and Xander is just trying to calm me down?But he still looks the same, hasn’t been a major change in his looks. I take a deep breath, my head throbbing hard. "Look over
The second time I'm glad to be back home, it doesn’t smell like disinfectant, herbs, or anything nauseating. But for the past two days we've been back, Xander has been a little too overprotective and a bit cranky. He gets mad at me for trying to do anything other than sleeping, taking a bath, or eating. For some weird reason, he keeps asking me if I have something to tell him. When I say no, he simply nods and looks a bit disappointed, then goes back to doing what he was doing before.Each time I try to bring up the poison or anything associated with the plan on Victor, he dismisses it or tells me we'll talk about it later.I know I'm supposed to be a little glad he's been home for two days straight, but I wish he'd go busy himself with work like he always does, but he isn't. He's been all up around me for the two whole days; the only times I get to be alone is in the bathroom.But something about the way he’s been treating me nuts doesn’t seem right to me and I plan on uncovering t
Arias povThe little discussion with Xander almost turned into a fight, I tried to make him understand. If where to be pregnant I’ll be the first to know not some Lucas who might’ve mess the result with someone else’s. “I can’t believe you’re making us do this” i say shaking my head with a little smirk. “Making us do what” Xander flashed a smirk of his own. “Making us, go back to the healers, I know I’m not pregnant because I don’t feel pregnant” I laugh. “Well… only time will tell, wait until after the test then we can tell you aren’t pregnant” his eyes were focused on the road this time. “Aren’t. I know I’m not” i cross my arms on my chest staring out the window. Poor Xander is going to be disappointed, I don’t what possessed Lucas to come up with a test result like that. The rest of the drive to the healers was silent. I stared out the window while Xander focused his attention on the road. “Do you have any murder tendencies?” I ask when he opens the car door for me. He arch
**Aria's POV** I opened my eyes to an amused yet smiling Xander. I followed his gaze to the screen and saw something like a tiny bean displayed; it was the baby, very small. "There is the baby," Lucas said, motioning to the screen. My cheeks heated up a little, embarrassed for doubting the test results for the first time. After a few minutes of checking, Lucas wrote down some things in his notepad before turning off the machine and gave me a tissue to wipe off the cold gel from my stomach. "We'll get you a few pictures of the ultrasound to take home," he said before excusing himself from the room. "Hey," Xander started, "are you okay?" Concern covered his face. I didn't know my eyes were tearing up until I felt a stray tear roll down my cheek. "I'm fine," I quickly wiped the tear away from my face. I don't know what to feel; finding out I'm pregnant is still a little shocking to me. How the heck was it possible? I should've been the first person to know I was pregnant, so how
Aria’s POVIt's less than a month to Victor's wedding, and Xander still hasn't said a word about the plan or how everything is going to go off.And I know why he’s doing it; he’s trying to keep me away from everything since I’m pregnant that’s is the only reasonable option I could come up with. But I want to be in on it, want to go to the meetings, and I want to be involved every step of the way. Plus Victor caused more than enough damage to me. He killed my parents and I feel like his blood should be mine to spill. I run my fingers through my hair when I feel a wave of frustration. I take a deep breath to calm my nerves. I’ve been feeling so uneasy for the past few days. I don’t know if it is because of hormones or if something bad might be happening soon. I stare into the mirror at my wannabe bump, patting a hand on it. My T-shirt is doing a good job of showing it. I pull my hair into a messy bun before heading down the stairs for my second or third lunch o don’t even know, it’s
Aria’s POV I wake up with a start, feeling a tight pain shooting through my chest. I try to breathe, but something stands between my airflow."Hey, breathe." I don't know how or when he got there, but his voice was in my head."Breathe, sunshine." He pulls me into his arms, rubbing a hand on my back. While I try to breathe, it doesn't seem to be working; a tear rolls down my cheek.I don't know why it's hard to breathe, but a few distracting words from Xander helped. It felt as if the pearly gates just opened up for me."That's it, baby, breathe slowly." His hand motions up and down, and I follow, taking a breath one after the other.I wrap my arms tighter around him, tears rolling down my face. "I'll go get you some water," he stands to go to the kitchen, but I tighten my hold on his shirt."No, please don't," I hold him tighter. "You can't go, you can't leave me alone," I sob."I won't leave; I'm staying right here with you." He hugs me back. Even with his arms around me, I can't
Aria's POVXander pushed me behind him. “Don’t move,” he ordered. The way his body tensed, I wouldn't move even if he didn't ask.My ears picked up the sound of rumbling again, this time with footsteps drawing closer to us.“I'll be right back, don’t move a step,” he kissed my forehead before lunging at the bushes. My ears picked up the sounds of steps and a loud thud.A few moments passed, and he wasn’t back. The silence felt weird and a bit disturbing, standing here all alone.“Xander,” I whispered, not trying to attract the wrong audience.I called out a few more times, and when I didn’t receive any reply, I decided to follow after him.I trudged through the bushes, making sure to be as quiet as I could be, scanning my surroundings for Xander.The sound of someone wincing grabbed my attention, and I turned in the direction of the sound. With each step, the sound grew louder.I stopped behind a pile of bushes when my nose picked up the scent of fresh blueberries and sandalwood. Not
