The Alpha King's Human Mate Bonus Chapter - Clark & Griffin (4)-3 The room cleared in moments, leavingalone with my mate. Griff spent several more seconds sniffing my neck, his eyes closed like he was listening.
My anxiety only increased.
"Griffin," I said firmly, "Tellwhat's wrong." His eyes opened, and I expected to see concern or worry, but he looked...happy? One of his hands cto cup the back of my head and the other settled on my stomach. "Little fox," he murmured, his voice full of emotion. He looked like he was on the verge of tears. "You're pregnant." It felt as if every bit of air left my lungs all at once.
"What?" "Your scent has changed. I could smell it the moment I pulled you into my arms." "You can..." My brain felt like it was full of white noise, one word playing on repeat: pregnant. Baby. Mini-Clark or mini-Griffin.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtI stared down at my belly as if I might suddenly see little hands or feet poking out, but there was nothing.
Not even a bump to indicate the life that Griffin was sure I was growing inside me.
"Can you hear a heartbeat?" I asked.
He shook his head, looking at my belly with an expression I'd only ever seen him look atwith.
Love.
"There's no heartbeat yet," he explained, "You must be early. Probably only a few weeks." "And you're sure? My scent change or whatever...you're sure it's pregnancy?" He nodded. "I'm sure. A pregnant woman's scent always changes when she's expecting. It's what happens when her scent mixes with the baby's." The baby.
In my head, I tallied up all the signs I'd apparently missed of an impending pregnancy: tiredness, morning sickness...even my period. I'd been feeling so crummy that I hadn't realized it'd been over a month since my last period "My birth control," I suddenly remembered. "I was so supposed to get a new implant like six months ago, but we were traveling and it just slipped my mind. That must be why this happened." Griffin's eyes were gleaming with joy. "You have no idea how happy am, little fox." "You are? Even though it was unplanned?" I asked. “We haven't talked much about a timeline for having kids or when we'd be ready for that step." "I'm ready," he toldwithout hesitation. "I've been ready since the day I met you, little fox." 1/2 Bonus Chapter - Clark & Griffin (4)-3 I swallowed, Was I ready? 0 Griffin and I had gotten married, I'd graduated college more than six months ago, and I'd settled into my role as Queen quite well. There were no milestones left except...
This one.
My hand cto rest over Griffin's, over the life growing inside me, "I'm ready," I said, and nearly squealed when Griffin spunaround, his lips pressed to mine.
"You have just madethe happiest man alive," he said and then pulled back just enough so I could see the intense emotions swirling in his dark eyes. "There's something I need you to know, little fox." I nodded for him to continue..

"My biological family was always a ne," he said "never disappointing one," he knew my mother, and my father...well, you already know.
He paused, his thumb caressing my cheek Since I was a boy, I've dreamed of a family-One I couldn create. And when I met you like I was the most precious thing in the world. "I hoped you dreamed the sthing. I would've been happy a life just the two of us but the chance to grow our family..." "It's okay, Griffin. I know."
"No," he said, "I need you to know that I will do everything in my power to protect you and our and our child. You have every part ofhave had every part ofsince I met you but now, we have something of us." His eyes strayed to my stomach. At a loss for words, I kissed him.
I knew he was telling the truth.
But more than that, I knew I felt the sway about the baby growing inside me.
