Chapter 149: A Miracle
Penelope POV
The doctor's words were bouncing in my head
"You are pregnant!" he said with a grin
Apparently, pregnancy was a celebrated thing in the werewolf world
While Kimberley had squealed saying, "We both are gonna be mums at the same time!" Steven couldn't stop himself from smiling all the time
He boasted to his beta, "My sister will be having pups of the strongest Alpha in North America!"
I was surprised that the whole house was under a sort of celebration mode. Steven hastily called Drexel and informed him about my pregnancy
All I heard from the other side was a grunt followed by loud instructions on keeping the bird ready for him to fly to the Gold Crest pack
And me? I was still staring at the stick that showed two lines which confirmed my pregnancy. How was this possible? Drexel had used condoms. It was only during marking when he didn't. To be honest, I was surprised, though I should be feeling shocked. I looked down at my tummy and placed my hand over there but I didn't feel any movement. That worried me as hell. A pup was inside me and it wasn't moving
"Penelope!" Kimberley came bouncing inside
my room with hot tomato soup. "Girl,
congratulations!" She gave the soup to me and hugged me tightly. "You have given such wonderful news to us. Did you know Steven has announced to his pack that we both are expecting and he is planning on hosting a grand dinner when Drexel comes!"
"Kimberley," I said with wide eyes. "Why isn't my baby moving?" Dread had crawled inside my chest like sharp thorns and I felt so protective about my pup. Again I couldn't believe that I was feeling so protective and helpless about my baby when I should be angry
Kimberley frowned at my question. She stared at me for a moment and then burst out laughing
"Silly, it is too early for you to feel the pup's movement. You will get the early signs of movement in four to five months."
"Oh!" Thank goddess. Now that was a relief but it brought me back to the same question. "How is 1t possible that I have become pregnant so fast?"
Kimberley's lips curled up as she sat next to me
She picked up the stick and placed it on the bedside table. "Penelope, werewolves are extra virile when they are marking their females. It's like they can't stop having sex with them when they are marking. Most females are not on heats when they are marked, so they don't become pregnant. But you had just finished your heats and your ovulation cycle had begun."
"So what?" I countered. "We were using protection!"
Kimberley sipped her soup and urged me to have mine. She asked, "Did you use protection the day he was marking you? You can't, right? Because that's the essence of marking. His body was producing more semen than normal because it was a full moon night, he was marking you and his wolf had smelled that you were on heats. Can you imagine the effect on him? Even if he must have tried to control, his wolf wouldn't have let him control."
I pursed my lips as I listened to Kimberley's words. It was as if everything that day conspired against me. Like it was destined. I remembered that we had had sex like six times and my Alpha was still roaring to have more even though I was tired "All the stars were aligned right for you and
Drexel," she concluded. "But why are you so shocked?"
"Lam not shocked," I said. "I am surprised

Because I thought I will have pups later..." But Ria was jubilant. 'I will be a mom' I couldn't stop myself from smiling at her happiness
"Are you angry with Drexel?" Kimberley asked
me cautiously. "It isn't his fault exactly."
Steven came into my room and he too growled, "Yes, Drexel isn't at fault here! You cannot say a word to him!"
I jerked my head back at my family. They were all against me or in favor of Drexel? I chuckled
"Okay. Okay!"
Kimberley ordered a special lunch for me in which she made sure that anything that triggered my smell wasn't prepared. All the time she gave me instructions on how to take care of myself and what all I should eat or not. Steven was one proud Alpha because both his wife and sister were pregnant and his family was going to increase manifold. At least that's what he thought of
The whole day went like a whirlwind and it was in the evening that I came out for a stroll alone. I needed this alone time
Pregnancy. It was a new day, a new start and a new sense of normal. It was as if the feeling of
my reality was about to shift on its axis. I hugged myself, wrapping my shawl tight against me as I exhaled roughly. 'Ria, are you there?'
'Yes, Penelope,' she replied immediately. 'Don't think much about it. It is a miracle.'
I smiled because I too was feeling the same. My hand went to my belly and I caressed it. There was a life growing there. A piece of the man I loved the most. 'Yes, I didn't know that pregnancy can be so beautiful.' A growing sense of motherhood was beginning to rise in me
My mind went to my adoptive mother Willow and a disgust rose in my throat, but the feeling was soon dispelled by a whirring of chopper wings. In the distance ahead, I saw Drexel's
helicopter landing. I stood in my place as I watched him climbing down the steps. Our gazes locked as soon as he was on the ground
And Drexel came running towards me. He came to stop in front of me and we stared at each other for a few seconds before he picked me up, his chest heaving, his eyes moist and emotions swirling in his eyes and on his face
"Oh Penelope, you have made me the happiest man alive on this earth!" he murmured. "Thank you so much!" His gaze darted between mine to search about my emotions. I could sense that he was afraid
I wrapped my arms around his neck and said, "Alpha Drexel, I love you." I pressed my lips to his and he opened up for me. It was that possessive, predatory, primal kiss or feeling that
I was seeking from him and he let me feel him
When I ended, I rested my forehead against his, breathing heavily. "I am happy for us, my Alpha."
He carried me inside in his arms. When we reached in, he set me on the ground and intertwined his fingers with mine. He placed his hand on my tummy and his eyes gleamed with pleasure. "My pup..." he murmured. And at that instant I knew that he was going to be a great father to his pups, unlike his own
We met Steven and Kimberley who congratulated him and by goddess- Drexel was so proud that his cockiness had no end. "I am sure I will have two pups, Steven," he mentioned with sass
