Chapter 46
A permanent smile is plastered on Donovon’s face since we found out that we are having a pup. While on the other hand, I am still in a slight shock... extremely happy, but shocked.
Nobody knows until now, but Donovon’s extreme protectiveness might be a giveaway even before we can share this news with everyone.
The changes in me and my scent is only visible to Donovon, others will not notice this until a few more weeks.
When a she-wolf gets pregnant only her mate can sense her pregnancy in her initial weeks. From what I have heard it has something to do with the protection of the unborn baby and creating a bond between the father and the baby.
It is a gift from Moon Goddess to all the fathers. Since the baby is growing inside the mother’s womb so in this way it will create an equal special connection between father and baby, too.
Even I will not be able to hear my baby’s heartbeat until a few more days, only Donovon will be able to hear it.
I politely smile at the pack member who makes a way for me, by moving to the side, as I step into the pack’s main office. There are two offices from where Donovon works, one is in the packhouse and the other office is in the center of the pack which is the main office. Since Donovon has asked me to come to his office in the evening so I have come here to meet him.
Donovon’s scent becomes stronger and stronger as I get near to his room’s door which calms me in a way that is indescribable. However, even before I can knock the door, the door opens and I am pulled inside. He slams his lips against mine at the same time I hear the click of the lock.
Grasping his arms I steady myself as his lips are moving against mine like he is claiming me. By the time, he leaves my lip I am already feeling heady and breathless from the kiss.
“Hello.” My voice comes out breathy while my lips curve into a smile.
“Hello.” He smirks and again captures my lips in a small kiss.
He nuzzles my neck and pressing his nose against my neck inhales deeply. Low growls come from within his chest which sends involuntary shivers down my spine.
He starts pressing kisses on my neck as he moves to my mark. Sucking the skin, he lightly nibbles it, at the same time, he opens a few buttons of his shirt enough to reveal his mark. While I already know what he is about to do.
“Stop biting me.” I weakly complain and placing my palms on his chest I slightly push him away.
Holding my wrists in his hands, he presses his body against mine caging me against the wall as he continues to suck and lick my mark ignoring my protest.
Since the Luna ceremony, he marks me every day and sometimes even more than once in a day. I can’t deny the feelings which you experience after the initial pain are wonderful. The warmth that engulfs your entire being and the love which swells inside your heart is something that can’t be express in words.
However, as much as this is true, another truth is that it hurts. No matter, how many times you have been marked, the pain remains the same. It extremely hurts when the teeth sink into your neck, breaking the surface of your skin. Before any pleasure, you feel like your entire body is burning like somebody has set your body on fire. After a moment or two, calmness takes over your body and then the pain fades away gradually.
“Donovon, no.” I try to free my hands from his iron grip.
He growls while pressing his teeth down my skin, warningly, making me still my movements. Since last night, when he found out that I am pregnant, this is the fourth time he wants to mark me.
Holding the back of my head, he brings it near his neck slightly tilting his head to reveal his mark. The urge to mark him gradually swirls inside me as I place my lips on his mark which makes him groan.
Lifting my head up, I gasp in pain when his teeth pierce through my skin. Quickly, holding my head he pushes it back towards his neck while digging his other fingers in my hip, silently asking me to mark him.
Swallowing the pain, I clamp my teeth down his neck on his mark. Soon, the pain dies down as my body relaxes against his as now all I can feel the humming of our bond and the warmth that is spreading throughout my heart.
We both lick and close each other wounds, after retracting out our canines. Donovon peck my lips, intensifying the tingles which I am already experiencing by his touch.
Kneeling down in front of me, he lifts my shirt and rubs his nose on my belly then peppers kisses on my skin which melts my heart.
He gazes my belly with so much love and affection as if somewhat he can see our pup. Wrapping his arms around my waist and rests his ear against my belly while a fond smile is playing on his lips.
“Her heartbeat is much stronger than the last night.” He glances up at me, pride swirling in his eyes.
“Her?” I lightly laugh while running my fingers through his hair as he whispers something against my skin.
“Yeah, that is my girl in there.” He kisses my belly again and smiles at me.
“Donovon, you can’t tell that now.” I laugh at his stupidity, “We haven’t even had our first ultrasound, yet.”
“I don’t need an ultrasound to tell what my baby is.” He shakes his head, “I know we are having a beautiful baby girl.”
Werewolf’s pregnancies advance quickly than humans. As werewolves babies grow faster than normal babies. So, by the end of the fifth month, I will be ready to deliver this baby.
In less than five months, I will have my baby in my arms. This thought brings a smile on my face.
“Thinking about our baby.” Donovon stands up and traces my smile with his finger as I nod my head.
“Even I can’t wait to have her in my arms.” He sighs happily.
His eyes slightly widen as he checks his watch.
“I have already informed Dr. Marvin that we will be coming to the clinic.” He buttons up his shirt and finger combs his hair to settle him down, “I have strictly order her not to reveal anything about our visit to anyone.”
“Let’s go, we are getting late.” He smiles holding my hand as we walk outside the office.
When we reach the clinic, Dr.Marvin is already waiting for us.“Alpha, Luna.” She nods at us with a smile.
“So, what brings you here?” She asks as we take our seat.
“She is pregnant.“Donovon glances at me, his lips curve into a smile.
“Congratulation, Alpha, and Luna.” She smiles widely.
“Thank you.” I return her smile.
“Okay, Luna, why don’t you change into the gown so I can do the check-up and run some tests, then later we will have an ultrasound.” She raises her eyebrows as she looks at me.
“Okay.” I nod my head while feeling giddy from inside.
After all the weird examination now comes the part for which I have been waiting for anxiously and by the look on Donovon’s face, even he can’t wait to see our baby for the first time.
Sadly, still, I will not be able to hear the heartbeat as for initial weeks only Donovon will be able to hear and sense the baby. And even ultrasound can’t catch early heartbeats.
I can tell that Donovon and our pup has already developed a strong connection. As he told me he was feeling the strong pull from inside me, and his need to be near me all the time was driving him insane, but that time he didn’t understand why.
But now we know that our baby wanted him to be near.
Clenching my eyes, I hold Donovon’s hand as my heart is wildly thrashing inside my chest due to the excitement when Dr.Marvin rubs the cold gel against my belly and moves the ultrasound probe across my skin.
At first, I don’t understand what I am seeing even Donovon’s eyes are fixed on the monitor with a small frown on his face.
“See, this is your baby.” She points at the tiny white image. I look closely at the image which loosely resembles like a.... curved tadpole?
“My baby looks like a tadpole?” I frown.
But when Donovon starts chuckling, I realize I have said this out loud. Whereas, Dr. Marvin attempts to cover her laugh with a cough.
He plants a kiss at my head, as he quickly blinks trying to dry the moisture from his eyes which is not due to laughing. His whole face is shining with happiness as he looks at our baby, even though it looks like a tadpole.
My precious, beautiful tadpole.
“Well, I can say you are three weeks pregnant as the fetus looks around six weeks.” She gives me some tissue papers to clean myself.
But Donovon takes them from my hand and wipes the gel while lightly caressing my non-existent bump.
“How soon we can know the gender of the baby?” I ask looking at her.
“It’s a girl.” Donovon confidently says, helping me down the table.
“Well, we can determine the gender in your next ultrasound.” She nods her head, “But if Alpha thinks it is a girl, then it is. Because mostly fathers can sense this due to their connection with the baby. So there is a ninety-nine percent chance that Alpha is correct.” She hands us our first baby picture with a smile.
“We are having a baby girl, mate.” He smiles fondly as we both look at our baby girl.
