The Alpha's Breeder ✔️ COMPLETE

Forty One : Nightmares

I have come to terms with being pregnant.

Although I am still quite iffy on the topic, I don't feel as panicked as I did in the beginning. In a weird way, I was accustomed to the thought now. The more time passed, the more calmer I became.

Because I knew what I was getting into when I mated with Eros. I mean how can I not?

I was given plenty of warnings. And I have mulled over it more than once because of my tendency to overthink. Yet I did what my heart felt was right.

And oddly enough, I don't regret it. In fact, nothing that Eros and I have done is regretful. How can I regret meeting and loving someone like him?

He's everything that I could ever want in a man. If it wasn't for Eros, I don't think I would have ever gotten married. I was so shelled up inside of my protective barrier that I wasn't willing to risk it for any relationship. If I hadn't been dragged out of my comfort zone, I never would have met an amazing man like him.

In a way, I was thankful for all the things that have happened.

And I am thankful to be able to have kids with Eros, thankful for the opportunity to create a family of our own. There are many people in this world who aren't able to have kids and have to adopt instead, so for me to complain about having so many kids and what not is just ungrateful and immature.

God gifted me with them, so no matter how many, I will love them all. I will love them and cherish them the way I wasn't.

"Congratulations, Alpha Female," a familiar pack member stated out of the blue. I stiffly halted in the halls, glancing in the younger female's direction while trying to calm my jumping heart.

Everything startles me now-a-days.

And by the looks of it, I don't think I will get a pregnancy announcement or a gender reveal. Everyone already knows that I am pregnant without me saying a word and they would probably know the gender even if they don't see the 'pups'.

There goes my human sentiments, straight into an abyss. But I guess this is what happens when you live with wolves.

They know everything that you are doing.

Literally.

"Thank you," I replied with a small rigid smile, noting how everyone's attention gathered onto my awkward form.

Their noses seemed to twitch and I could tell that they were all smelling me.

Without Eros at my side, they didn't keep as much of a distance as they usually do. They openly stared at me and didn't have as much resignation as when they were in his presence.

From their gazes, I could see the sparkle of excitement in each set of eyes. They weren't really looking looking at me, if you know what I mean.

Their eyes were settled onto my stomach half of the time and I can't help but feel slightly weirded out.

Was I just a walking womb to them or something?

But then again, what did I expect?

They were all waiting for this moment ever since Eros and I mated. Every time I saw the pack members, they always looked at me with this expectant look in their eyes, waiting for the moment I was impregnated, like a kid waiting for candy.

Heaving a sigh, I hurriedly crossed the halls after thanking everyone who congratulated me in hopes of running from their hungry gazes. It was starting to become too awkward.

And from the dining room, I noticed Rora talking to Brandy when I approached.

They were fairly engrossed in their conversation to notice me.
