Semua Bab Pregnant For My Alpha Lord: Bab 31 - Bab 40

I chewed my bottom lip. Jesse was awesome and I didn’t want to let him down. I wasn’t sure what the rules were exactly for this sort of thing, but I didn’t want to lie to him when he’d been so nice to me.I might as well come clean now. “Listen, I’m not sure if I’ll even pass the Luna Trials, but I’m only here because my Alpha is forcing me. I’m supposed to help his son through the games. The whole mate thing isn’t even on my radar. I didn’t come here to find a match.”“Is that all?” Jesse blinked. Not the response I was expecting. “Half the girls here are in it for the money or to keep daddy from setting up an arranged match.”“Who?” I sat up straighter, thirsty for some tea to be spilled.“Stylist/client confidentiality.” He bopped me on the nose. “But as for the mate part, I’ve seen crazier things happen on the show. Let’s see what your wolf decides. You can trust your beast to protect your heart. And I’ll take care of your face.”Jesse left the room with a swagger no normal being

“What is it with you Alphas?” Aspen huffed as she marched into the hall. Her scent drifted by me, tantalizing and teasing, as I let the door swing shut.“What do you mean?”“I mean that you need to learn how to take no for a solid sentence.” She spun around, pointing her finger like she meant to lecture me.I bit down on my lip to hide the laughter that wanted to come out. Something told me it would not be well received. “You’re mistaken. I understand the word no. But I also know when to ignore it.”Her cheeks blushed that crimson color again, but this time from anger and not from shame. “You should never ignore when a woman says no.”“No?” I arched an eyebrow. “What if she says ‘no, don’t stop.’”“That’s followed by a second command.” Exasperated, she threw her hands in the air.I could do this all day. “It was a misuse of the word in the first place and should have been ignored.”“I…” She narrowed her eyes. “You’re screwing with me.”“Not at all,” I tried to make my voice sincere an

The hospital CEO walked in just as the camera crew finished placing us in the right lighting to orchestrate the perfect shot.“Mr. Stockett.” Edith greeted him first. “On behalf of Tulia Pack, please accept this donation.”She handed him a check and the old man’s eyes glazed over as he took in the amount. He professed his gratitude and shook her hand again. I clutched the sweaty wad of bills in my pocket.“On behalf of McCaw Pack, please accept this donation.” Fallon gave him another check, not bothering to raise her sunglasses as Mr. Stockett thanked her. I made the mistake of glancing at the amount and got a little nauseous.“And this donation is the start of a monthly allotment.” Cindy smiled at the cameras as she shook the CEO’s hand. “Frazier Pack will be in touch to set up funding to extend for the rest of the year.”Vomit rose up the back of my throat and I swallowed it down as the old man turned his grateful, tear-filled eyes to me.“Thank you for coming today.” He held out hi

21Ranger“What is Ivan doing here?” Fallon slammed the door to the penthouse suite.“Hello to you too,” Ivan said. He looked at me for permission to leave and I waved him away. If I had the chance to avoid this conversation, I’d take it too.“I want answers.” Fallon crossed her arms over her chest. “And you owe them to me. Starting with, why did I have to keep Aspen occupied for the last hour?”“There was something I needed to take care of,” I said as Ivan hurried out of the room, away from the coming fight. Smart wolf.My sister looked to the door as it closed after him. “Something that required keeping Aspen busy?”I arched an eyebrow, waiting for her to come to her own conclusion.She smacked her hands over her face. “Oh Goddess, what did you and Ivan do?”“Security,” I explained.“Ranger, listen to me,” Fallon pleaded. “Aspen is not the kind of female who is going to appreciate a male going all stalker on her.”The words gave me pause, but I shrugged them off. “I don’t need her t

The video reels played on a drop-down screen beside Jay and I chuckled a little, seeing Stef scowling as she cleaned out cages at the animal shelter.“Don’t you dare laugh,” she growled next to me. “At least I didn’t kick one of the rat dogs.”“Someone kicked a dog?” My eyes popped wide open at the image on the screen.There were a few gasps from the contestants as we all looked at Karen whose face was flaming red.Jay tsked and the videos kept rolling.Warmth filled me as I saw the clip of that two-year-old boy going through chemo who snuggled my wolf on his bed and read me the red train pop-up book at least ten times.Totally worth it.“Contestants aren’t allowed to fully shift during the trials for the safety of our crew,” Jay explained to the cameras.Which was bullshit if you asked me. We were just as strong in human form and partially shifted, but I guess there was a little speciesism going on here.I twisted my hands in my lap, preparing for the worst.Jay smiled. “But the prod
