Chapter 209 Two Weeks Later
Andrei POV “Just break it down; why is she hiding from us?” Donnie snarls in my head. He had been trying to get Sierra to listen to him for the last week; both were in denial, and Sage was still mad.
I banged on the door again; I was becoming annoyed as she continued ignoring me. “Open the door, Sage,”
“I’m fine, it is just that stupid coffee, we need to switch brands” She gasps out. I rolled my eyes; it was not the damn coffee. I have been trying to get her to see the doctor for the last week, but she refuses. She insists she is not pregnant, but Donnie and I could smell her scent, smell the changes, and until she confirmed it, not only will Sage not believe us, but Donnie won’t stop keeping me awake sniffing her while she sleeps. I shake my head.
Last night was humiliating as he forced control, only for Sage to wake up during his sniffing fest while I looked like some creep. Donnie forced control and decided t
“I am not using our son, and then what? Pin her down?” I ask him. He appeared to be considering it, and I huff, turning to look at Jonah
“Is mum alright?” Jonah asks as I hear her puke again. Jonah walks over and bangs on the door.
“Mum?” Jonah calls through the door.
“Go get ready for school. I will be down in a minute, “Sage groans before puking again. Jonah looks up at me with a worried look on his face.
“Go see Uncle Malik and see if he can bring the car to the front of the house for me and wait in the car for me,” Itell him.
“Why? Is she ok?” Jonah squeaks.
“She is fine; my keys are on the hall table. Give them to Malik for me,” I tell him, and he glances at the bathroom door quickly before rushing off. I could have mind-linked Malik, but I needed Jonah out of the room so I didn’t scare him. Sage was going to lose her mind in a second. I listen as he drags the chair to the panel to unlock the doors. When I hear the door open, I turn back to the bathroom door.
Donnie force ontrol and decided t o jam my nose into her belly button. If he was going to be a creep, he could at least d o it in his form, so she knows I am not the perverted one sniffing her while she slept, and it was my bizarre, domineering wolf that had the sniffing belly buttons fetish the look she gave him, well me. I facepalm myself trying not to relive the memory.
“It isn’t a fetish; if she went to the doctor, I wouldn’t have to sniff-test her to make sure she is progressing,” Donnie spits at
“Just be grateful she didn’t wake the first time when I sniffed her-“I growled at him, cutting his words off. I didn’t need the reminder of how perverted he can be.
“Ah enough, don’t remind me, you are bloody deranged,” I tell him.
“Please, Sage, open the goddamn door,” I tell her while pinching the bridge of my nose in frustration. Jonah walks in, stopping at the door, and looking toward the bathroom one.
“Use him; that will get her to the doctor, make him fake sick, kids do it all the timet o get out of school,” Donnie tells me.
“Sage, you have three seconds to open this door,” I warn her, and she growis at me.
“One”
“Just go away.”
“Two”
“Andrei, stop it, help Jonah get ready for school.”
“And that would be Three, “I tell her before booting the door. The door bursts open, banging against the wall, and Sage shrieks. Walking in, she is on the ground next to the toilet.
“Was that necessary?” She snaps at me as I reach for her.
“Well, no, but you wouldn’t open the door, “I tell her, reaching down to grab her. She tried to slap my hands away, she looked pale, and her attempts to stop me were weak
“What are you-?” She screeches as I scoop her up, going stiff as a board in my arms as she tries to escape me.
“Put me down,” She demands.
Put me down,” Sne aemanas. “Bend, stop being difficult,” I tell her before poking her in the ribs with my fingers; she squeals. So ticklish. I crush her to me, and she kicks her legs, trying t o get out of my arms.
“She needs to eat more; she feels like she has lost weight,” Donnie tells me, and I roll my eyes as I start stomping down the steps toward the front door. Between her and Donnie, they were going to send me insane; Sage’s wild mood swings and Donnie’s odd behavior making me look like some freak was enough to send anyone crazy. Malik’s mouth falls open when I walk out the door with his kicking and screaming Luna in my arms, but he rushes over to the back door, opening it for me.
“Thank you,” I tell him.
“Duck, Sage,” I warn her.
“You bloody duck, you bloody caveman,” She says, smacking me in the side of the head, Malik chuckles before rushing to the driver’s side.
“I haven’t even got shoes on,” she shrieks but ducks her head into my chest

shrieks but ducks h nead into my chest while growling as I sit down in the back with her. She instantly moved off my lap, about to lose her shit; I recognized the look on her face. She was about to teach m e who the Alpha was, and for the last week, it sure as shit hasn’t been me with her moody behavior.
“Ah, settle down, there are children present,” I tell her, and right on queue, Jonah sticks his head between the seats, looking back at us.
“Himum,” He says, beaming at her; Sage’s face flushes red.
“Jonah, where is your school bag?” Sage asks him as Malik starts the car.
I put it in the trunk,” Malik lies, knowing exactly where I want to take her.
“Well, I don’t have any shoes; you will have to sign him in,” Sage says, folding her hands in her lap and closing her eyes a s she rests her head back on the seat.
“Am I going to school?” Jonah asks through the Mindlink. “No, we are taking mum to the doctors, so shh,” I tell him, and Malik glances at me i
shh,” I tell him, an alik glances at me i n the rearview mirror.
Sage fell asleep on the drive; if she wasn’t throwing up, she was sleeping, yelling at me like a banshee or eating. Sage barely leaves the house anymore because she has been too tired the last week. She refused t o believe us, saying it was impossible, and I even asked Kat, who said she wasn’t sure because she hadn’t gone to the temple to check. She had been having issues with Marabella and told me she would check
soon.
But she didn’t say no either, but still, in Sage’s eyes, that meant it was impossible. Donnie and I, however, knew we were right. No one else could smell the changes in her, but we could, her heat, yes, but not the subtle changes to her overall scent. W e were so in tune with her scent we could pick up the slightest changes even if she couldn’t.
The drive takes around an hour to get to Kat’s pack. I messaged Kat to tell Mathias t o be ready, and she assured me he would see her today. As we pull into the bustling town, I look down at Sage, where she had managed to lay down with her head in my
“No, you have gone too far now, Andrei,” Sage rants, and I see kat walk out the doors just as Jonah reaches the steps out the front. Jonah spotting Kat rushes over t o her, and she picks him up and hugs him while he tells her something animatedly. My sister makes enthusiastic exclamations as she listens to him. I chuckle, turning back to Sage, who was glaring at me, and I sigh.
“Always, no matter what Doc says, Jonah i s enough. You are enough; that will never change. Please, do this, just this once” She worries her lip between her teeth, her eyes glistening with unshed tears,
“Wait, why are you embarrassed? He hasn’t, he wouldn’t” She couldn’t bring herself to ask, and I wouldn’t lie to her if she did. I look away again, unable to meet her eyes.
