Chapter 150: She Needs Me
Drexel POV
"Penelope is pregnant!" Steven's excited voice sounded on the phone. I was sitting in my office talking to some of the warriors and Eric about getting new equipment for training purposes when he called
I was dumbstruck, unable to process what he just said. there were too many emotions swirling in my stupid brain. And the top one was whether I would be a good father or not. I always wanted Penelope to be the mother of my pups. I wanted so many pups that I would be surrounded by them day and night, but when reality actually crashed on me, I stopped
breathing. My throat went paper dry
"Drexel, you there, man?" Steven said, tension laced his voice
"Yes," I replied hoarsely. Goosebumps lined my skin. I had been so enthusiastic about having kids. I dismissed all the warriors except Eric and when they left, I asked him, "Steven, would I be a good father?" The only father I had seen in my life was an asshole who beat my mother to death. Dread crawled like a spider down my spine
There was a pause in which I knew Steven would have doubted me a thousand times. "You are going to be just fine, Drexel," he assured me
"I think right now it is Penelope you have to
think about. She is too young, had gone through a lot and now she 1s pregnant with your baby
As for you, 1f you don't show your support to her, she will... break. You both have to build a
new future, Drex. Don't bail on her."
I stabbed my fingers in my hair as tears poured out. It was me who had punctured the condoms because I wanted her to be pregnant with my pups. I tipped my head up and let out a laugh
Why was I doubting myself? "Hell! How could I be so selfish!" I murmured. She was my life support. I couldn't even breathe thinking that she would break. "I love her, man!" I said. "I love her so much that it hurts."
Steven chuckled. "I know. Get your ass here, wolf. She needs you as much as you need here!"
I laughed. I was going to be a loving father. I was going to be a pillar of support for my mate and my pups. The negative thoughts vanished as soon as they came in. "I will be there today!"
Thank Goddess. I had Steven as my brother-in-law. That werewolf was so calm and solid, despite the fact that his mother had left him and he had a stepmother to deal with. Despite the fact that his younger brother challenged him to fight with him for the position of Alpha. And despite the fact that I bought his sister and he had to fight with me all the time for her. We both had come a long way and we both were going to be fathers. I think the goddess had a plan for me. She wanted Steven by my side always, like a big brother
"Get the bird ready!" I said to Eric who looked
so amused that he was grinning. He got up from his place and gave me a tight hug
"Congratulations Alpha!"
I nodded. "Don't let the information out for now
I would like to announce it to my pack."
"Of course!" he said and then left to arrange the flight for me

Suddenly, my chest filled with pride. My Luna was going to give me heirs. Amongst werewolves, it was very important for the Luna of the pack to have children. Heirs of Alphas had strong blood in them when actually marked them as Alphas and superior to everyone else. It ensured that the pack was going to remain safe
in the future also. And my Luna was pregnant so fast! I was now getting too excited
The whole day swept by in a daze. I was too preoccupied with where I would be fixing the nursery and what all Penelope should eat or do
I had downloaded a hundred pages on what to feed her and about the same on how the pregnancy would progress each month. And it was then I came to know that she was vomiting not because of the stomach infection, it was because she was pregnant. "Damn it!" I cursed myself for not understanding the signs
By the evening I was too impatient to go to her
We were supposed to fly at 7PM after I winded up the office, but I boarded at 6PM. I was thinking about her all the way to the Gold Crest pack and as if the goddess had listened to my
wishes, I saw her strolling in the garden in the far distance. As soon as the chopper landed, I Jumped out of it and ran to Penelope. I picked her up and felt like whirling her around, feeling too excited and happy and crazy, but I didn't
"Oh Penelope, you have made me the happiest man alive on this earth!" I murmured. "Thank you so much!" I didn't realize that I was crying until my cheeks were wet
When we reached inside, Steven was with Kimberley, feeding her forcibly, complaining that she was losing weight when she should have gained it. I was going to be the same. I was going to feed Penelope. And on an instinct, I felt like shifting and hunting a bunny for my mate and offering it to her
When I saw them so lovey-dovey, I pulled my
Penelope closer and said with pride, "T am sure I will have two pups."
Kimberley laughed and Steven smiled. "Come one." Steven offered me a glass of wine and we both cheered as our girls looked hungrily at the wine glasses. "Sorry, no alcohol for both of you for the next one year!" Steven said like his words were law
"Yes, no wine!" I added and then gulped it all down
The girls sneered and then came to us. It was impossible for me to go to sleep and even after dinner with Penelope curled in my lap, sleeping like a kitten, and Kimberley sleeping beside Steven, we kept on talking. Steven was a gold mine of information. He told me what all I will be expecting in the coming days
"Why don't you let Penelope stay here with Kim for another month?" Steven said as he moved towards Kimberley and curled his hand around her waist, propping his head over her arm
I growled, "I won't be able to stay without her for so long. Besides, she would need me. There are so many things that I have to discuss with her!" I was a shameless wolf
Steven pursed his lips as if stifling a smile. "T have a suggestion for you Drexel. You should build a separate house now that you are going to have a family. You would need a private place to hang out with your wife and family with no one watching you."
I jerked my head back. I had never thought about it. The idea was... appealing
"Also, did you check on Willow? She has lodged a missing person complaint for Penelope."
