(Creed)

A baby.

I had not thought of that. It never occurred to me that I would have one, especially with Elianna whom I originally thought was a human. There was a very low percentage of a human conceiving an alpha’s baby that’s why I did not think of using protection. No, that was bullshit. Most of the time, after one kiss with her, I found it hard to think. At all.

Now that I had time to mull it over, the thought of a life growing inside Elianna’s body brought me… an unspeakable joy. An immense pride and honor.

Elianna sobbed harder as she held onto her stomach protectively. “Do you mean that? But you don’t want the baby.”

“Do you?” I asked.

“I was very surprised. The baby was certainly not a part of my plans, but after the doctor confirmed my pregnancy. I realized I can’t give him up.”

Him. She sounded certain it was going to be a boy.

Elianna’s watery eyes turned fierce. And I knew right here and now that if I was going to have a baby, there was no one else I would want to become his mother other than this woman who suddenly looked at me as if she would snap my neck if I were to say the wrong word about the baby.

Our baby.

“I’m going to keep him, Black, even if you don’t want to-”

“Who the hell even said I don’t want to?”

“Don’t lie to me, Black,” she sniffled. “I’m just pregnant. Not blind. You froze. And you don’t freeze. Ever. You didn’t look happy-”

“I was processing, Eli. It’s not every day a man gets news like that,” I said while stroking her cheeks. I lifted her chin, made her meet my eyes, and let her see the sparkle there at the thought that she was going to be stuck with me for good because she was pregnant and I was the father.

“What part of I was yours didn’t you understand, Vicious? The fact that you even thought I didn’t want the baby was

offensive.”

More tears flooded her cheeks. I kissed each of them away. I thought it was her that was against having my heir, given the expression she had while delivering the news. And it killed me. I didn’t say anything because I wanted to be supportive of whatever she decided she wanted to do with the life growing inside her even if it would hurt.

It was her body to decide after all.

But seeing Elianna become fiercely protective of it renewed me.

“You want the baby?” she confirmed.

“How could I not? He is my son, my own flesh and blood, my future heir. My little joy, my little ‘you’ I am going to love him as best as I could, Elianna, not only because he is mine but simply because he is yours. I love you and everything that comes from you.”

Didn’t she see me worshiping her body? Didn’t she feel me licking every single drop that came out between her thighs whon she came? Didn’t she see my mood changing depending on hers? On what she felt? Didn’t she watch me turning feral for

I had never loved before and when I finally did, it knocked me on my feet. It surprised me every day how passionately and strongly I could feel for somebody. I was hopeless when it came to Elianna and every single thing about her. How she could assume I was not going to accept her pregnancy just showed how clueless she was about the depths of my feelings.

away.

Then again, maybe it was better that Elianna did not know how utterly insane I could become for her or else, she might run

“I know as early as now that I am going to do anything to protect the baby, Eli. I would cherish him, provide him home, be his mentor and best friend, even die for him, and give him all the love I could offer.”

Although nothing and no one in this world could rival the love I had for his mother.

“You haven’t held me since that day,” she whispered, looking convinced about the baby this time.

“I thought you didn’t want me near you. After everything that happened, you were oddly quiet. I thought you wanted space.”

A space I could not even provide. The maximum space I could give her was a couple of steps away from her. The thought of not being in the same room with her, especially at night, drove me on the edge of my sanity.

Elianna had been calling Richards’ name in her sleep and because I was a jealous motherfucker, I wanted to keep showing my face in front of her to assure myself and my beast that she was not going away. I had been sticking by her side these days because I was worried she might forget me if I didn’t or that she might disappear if I were to leave even for just a few seconds. Hell, I was researching the mages’ most sacred spells in the same room with her, something that would have gotten me punished if they found out.

“I didn’t want space. I only want you.”

I carried Elianna in my arms. She immediately wrapped her arms around my neck, her thighs around my back. “You should have told me that, Vicious.”

She pouted. “You didn’t ask, Black.”

“Right. My bad.” I dropped wet kisses on her throat, making her moan. “Will you forgive me?”

“Just this once. Because you’re handsome.”

She sniffled adorably once more and I grinned. How was it possible to fall in love many times a day? And with the same woman over and over again?

I carried her back home, back to our room. I missed being inside her. And I was going to have my fill of her. Today. She wanted me to hold her and I would do more than just that so she would never doubt me again.

I would fill her with my cum again and again and hope that her bond with Richards would allow him to feel her pleasure, to hear her scream for me, and feel her come only for me. Because he would never be able to do any of that anymore.

Before stepping into our room, I dialed Dale’s number. “Gather all the best chefs in the city.”

“The chefs? Not the soldiers?” he clarified, sounding puzzled as hell.

“Yes.”

“What for?”

We were in an emergency, but no dragons could stop me from celebrating my mate’s pregnancy after she bravely chose ‘us’ in the middle of the chaos.

“I need them to prepare a feast,” I grinned. “I’m going to become a father.”
