I'm the Alpha's World

"I think you should sleep in a guest room." I cross my arms and mark my territory by crawling onto the bed.

He clenches his jaw before walking out of the room and shutting off the lights. I sit on the bed in the darkness, alone.

I swallow and try to make myself comfortable without having him to hold me. His words hurt me and I still can't help but think about his arms wrapped around me, protecting me. I'm acting like a stupid girl in love, maybe because I am a stupid girl in love that's also pregnant and that also talks to a goddess. No wonder why I look nuts in his eyes, mate bond or not.

I toss and turn when a sudden pain prods at my lower abdomen, almost a tight feeling. Squeezing the blankets I take my mind off of the cramp until it fades away. "It's fine, everything is fine." I whisper to myself and curl up in the blankets.

Too my luck another pain pokes at me and I clench my teeth. This time worry fills my mind and I immediately sit up and turn on the lamp resting on the bedside table. It dimly lights up the room as I gently rub my belly. "You okay in there?" I ask my baby.

Again another cramp causing me too clench my teeth. Something's wrong.

I get out of bed and hurry into the bathroom and turn on the lights. Quickly I lift up my shirt and look at my torso, noticing nothing different. Until I turn to the side.

There's a small bump, I'm showing.

My heart seems to freeze as my eyes stare down at my body, my hands running over the tiny mound. "It's too soon."

"Sebastian!" I yell. "Sebastian wake up!"

A few seconds later Henry appears in the doorway. "Where's Sebastian?" I ask, feeling somewhat panicked.

"I thought he was in here with you?" He mutters tiredly. "What's wrong?"

"I'm showing."

He smiles, "well that's great news-"

"No, I think I'm around four weeks, this isn't normal and I was having pains, Henry something is wrong."

His face hardens and he grabs my hand, leading me out of the bathroom. "I think he's in a guest room."

I rush to the doors and swing them open, revealing empty bedrooms until I come up to the last one. Sebastian is fast asleep holding onto one of the pillows. "Sebastian." I walk in and shake him. "Sebastian wake up, somethings wrong."

He incoherently sits up and stretches out his arms. "What is it?"

"I think something is wrong with the baby."

Just from my few words he immediately looks completely awake. "What do you mean somethings wrong, what happened?"

"I'm getting pains and I'm starting to show, it's too soon, something has to be wrong." I rush.

"The office is closed now but I'll call Doctor Swanson and see if she can help us."

Sebastian quickly gets up and walks into our bedroom, he grabs the phone and dials in a number. It didn't take long for someone to answer. "This is Alpha Tate... No, Evangeline is having issues with the baby and she's worr- Okay, thank you."

He sets down the phone and looks back at me. "She's one the way over."

"She's coming, at two in the morning?"

"She has too for and Alpha or Luna." He tells me. "It's even more urgent that it has to do with the pregnancy."

I nod my head and Daniels helps me walk downstairs, holding onto my arm as I make my way down each step. Henry refuses to go back to bed when I tell him too, and even though he's being stubborn, I'm glad he's by my side. "Where's Kandy?" I ask, trying to lighten the mood.

"She's staying the night at Fiona's for some time to think."

I pat the spot beside me on the couch and he sits down. "What is there to think about?"

"Not everyone can jump in feet first like you did, and I'll be okay if she needs some time to figure things out."

"Well I was more like pushed in." I laugh and Henry can't help but join in.

"That is true."

Sebastian comes in the room with a glass of water and he hands it too me. Without thinking I chug it down and lean back. "What if something really is wrong?"

"Everything will be fine, Doctor Swanson should be here any minute." He assures me and I can't help but feel like our roles have changed. The last thing I want is to prove him right, that I'll end up like his real mother.

"How come you never told me that she was your stepmom?"

He slows down and takes a minute to look at me. "I didn't want to explain everything back then, especially with her being here. Henry told you?"

"I did." Henry pipes up.

I bite my lip as another cramp tugs at me and Sebastian grabs my hand. "She's coming."

Suddenly there's a knock on the door and my muscles relax. "More like she's here." Henry gets up and opens the door for her.

Seeing Doctor Swanson without of her usual white coat and clipboard is weird. Now she looks like any other person.

Immediately she makes her way over to me. "Hello Evangeline, can you update me on what's wrong?" She knees down in front of me and I lean forward.

"I don't know, I was just trying to fall asleep and I got these cramps," I show her where with my hands, "I looked in the mirror and suddenly I have a bump."

"And how far along do you think you are?"

"Four weeks?"

She stays silent as her eyes stay glued to the floor. "Four weeks and you're showing?"

She motions for me to lay down on the couch and I do. My eyes stare up at the ceiling as I slide up my shirt to reveal the bump. "See?"

"Oh I see. I'll have to do an ultra sound but I can guess the cramps have to do with the babies growth, your body is reacting negatively towards it. But if it's just cramps I would say we're safe until tomorrow, then I'll need to see you, no running away."

"Okay." I nod and take in a deep breath. "So the baby is okay?"

"I can't confirm anything until tomorrow in the office."

Please let my baby be okay, please let my baby be okay, I run through my head over and over.

The moon goddess will take care of us, my wolf tries to comfort me, everything will be fine.

I need to talk to her right away, I have to ask about this.

Not now, we're staying with our mate, he's worried.

I'm supposed to comfort him about this, not make it worse. I scold myself.

He must know that we can't control any of this. She says to me. He knows that we are scared too, and I think that's making everything worse. We must stay strong for our pup and our mate.

You're right, we will.

When Doctor Swanson left my mind was already racing about the results tomorrow. I have to know what's happening to me, and I want to ask the moon goddess so very bad, but Ryland is right. We have to be with him right now, we have to be strong for the both of us.

I have to be strong for my baby.
