Alpha Nicholas novel Chapter 107

Alpha Nicholas

“I’m sorry, sweetheart. Can you say that again?” My mate hiccups as she tries to calm herself down and control her breathing. “Lottie, She said that you don’t want any more children. She said that you have never wanted any other children aside from her.” What the fuck is my daughter playing at?

While I know that my daughter isn’t innocent because let’s be honest, no children are, I still can’t imagine her ever being mean to Bonnie, especially over a baby, and her baby brother or sister at that. Growing up, she had always wanted a sibling, so why would she react like this now? Whatever her reason, I’m fucking angry and my pregnant mate is completely heartbroken, and I want this shit sorted out right now!

‘Where is she?” I growl. I’m trying to keep my anger under control, but it’s so fucking hard right now. “I don’t want this to… …” Before she can finish her sentence she breaks down crying once more, and I swear that every single tear that she shreds feels like it tears at my heart.

As much as I want to hunt down Lottie right this very second and figure out what’s going on, I quickly realize that my mate needs me more right now and there are a few things that we need to clear up.

I gently rub my mate’s back as she leans on my chest with her head buried in my shoulder. “Bonnie, baby. Look at me.” She doesn’t say a word or make a move, but I do feel the tremor in her body starting to lessen, so I decided to give her a few more minutes while my anger continues to boil over.

“What the fuck is she playing at?” Storm growls in my head. He’s.just as angry as me right now and it’s a lethal combination. Usually, when we’re both this worked up, we take it out on the person that’s pissed us off, but this is my daughter and no matter what she does or how much she pisses me off, I would never hurt her, never lay a single finger on her and neither would storm.

“Of course, I wouldn’t. But we do need to speak to her. We need to know what the fuck she’s playing at!” He growls once more. “Oh, believe me, we will be!” She may be my daughter, but right now she’s in a fuck load of trouble.

Soon I can feel that Bonnie has completely calmed down, and I thank the Moon Goddess for that. All that upset and stress is no good for her or the baby. “Bonnie, sweetfeart. Can you please look at me?” Finally, she slowly lifts her head until she’s sitting up and straddling my lap.” Before we go and get this sorted out with Lottie, I think we need to chat.”

She gives me a nod but once again that determined look appears on her face and I fucking hate it because I know what she’s thinking. Well, she can think that stuff all she wants, but it doesn’t mean that it’s happening. No fucking chance!

“So first off, the baby… are you happy about being pregnant?” She looks a little taken aback by my question but, in my defense, her reaction has left me more than a little confused. “Of course, I’m happy.

Granted, I wasn’t expecting it to happen so soon, but I don’t care about that. While I was waiting for the results, I realized how much I wanted it to be positive.”

The more she talks, the bigger my smile gets. “Fuck, I’m glad. I’ll admit that I was worried that you wouldn’t be happy about it and, while I can understand that, I’m insanely grateful that you’re happy about having a pup.” Unlike me, she’s not smiling and starts shaking her head, but before she can say anything, I put my finger on her lips to stop her.

“I’m not sure what’s going on with Lottie, but I want you to know that l am so incredibly happy about this pup. And while I can see why it would be easy to doubt my words, after what Lottie has said I’m going to let you in on a little secret.” I pull my finger away from her lips and rest my hand on her hip as she nods for me to continue.Today, hours before I guessed that you were pregnant, I was thinking. about us and pups. Something happened, I can’t remember what it was exactly, but for some reason, the desire to have pups with you just hit me out of nowhere. I realized that I wanted them with you so badly and, after years of assuming that I wouldn’t ever have any more children, it was a shock, but in no way did I regret thinking it.

In fact, I was planning on talking to you about it once things had calmed down. Then, after I started putting all of your symptoms together and convinced myself that you were pregnant, I could’t-wait to get up here and see you. I want pups with you, Bonine, and more than anything, I want this pup with you.” I place my hand on her stomach and gently rub as, finally, finally, a smile appears on her beautiful face.

“What’s going on? Is everything OK?” He looks between Nick and me, but I remain quiet, hoping that Nick will take the reins and thank the goddess he does. He gives Robbie a quick rundown of what happened and a look of confusion quickly appears on his face. “Why would she do that? I don’t get it!””That makes the three of us,” Nick grunts. “Is she in there? We need to talk to her and figure this out,” He asks Robbie white pointing at the door. Robbie nods and follows us as Nick pulls me through the door.

Lunch is now technically over and the hall is basically empty.

Aside from Nick’s parents, Shane and Lottie, the place is empty and the moment that Lottie spots us, the colour drains from her face, and she looks instantly worried and, despite how she acted towards me, I still hate to see her like this. The need to protect her runs deep in my veins, but this, what happened, can’t be brushed aside and forgotten about because there could be a reason behind it that needs dealing with and if there is, then I want to know, and I want to help if I can.

Nick storms into the hall holding my hand as he pulls me behind him and, while I can’t see his face, I’m guessing that it isn’t good, as his dad stands up instantly on guard while his mom looks worried. “Son, what’s going on?” His dad asks as he goes to step around the tablet. “You can sit down, Dad. It’s Lottie that I’m here to see.”

He sounds calmer than he did just a few minutes ago, which is good. I know Nick and, despite how angry he is right now, he’s a good dad and will give Lottie a chance to explain before letting any of his anger out.

“Lottie, why? What’s happened?” He asks as he turns his attention to a worried-looking Lottie. “Are you OK, darling?” She gives him a small smile, but not one person in this room can miss the guilt that’s covering her face.

“Would you care to tell your grandparents and uncles what the problem is, Lottie?” Despite Lottie being her name. Nick very rarely calls her that. Sweetheart, pumpkin, baby girl. They are the usual names that he calls her. Lottie is usually reserved for when she’s in trouble and everyone in her family knows it. “Oh dear girl, what have you done?”
