Mated to Her Alpha Instructor (Eileen and Regis) novel Chapter 246

Chapter 246

I laughed softly. “I’m more worried about her chewing on your combat leathers.”

“Our daughter has excellent taste, then.” I felt his smile against my temple. “We’ll-”

Pain.

Sharp and sudden, lancing through my lower back and radiating forward. I gasped, my hand flying to my belly.

Regis went rigid. “Eileen?”

“I don’t-” Another cramp seized me, stronger this time. This was urgent. Real. “Oh no. No, it’s too soon, we’re not-”

It’s time.

Lumina’s voice echoed through my mind, apologetic but firm. The battle took too much from both of us. I’ve been holding her stable, but your body needs to recover, and she’s not getting enough through the bond anymore. She needs to be born now, or we’ll lose her.

So that’s why Lumina had been silent when I awoke–she’d been using all her strength to keep our pup alive.

“No,” I whimpered, even as another contraction rolled through me. My wolf whined in distress, torn between fear and instinct. “Not yet.

I’m not ready-”

“Eileen, what’s wrong?” Regis’s hand pressed against my belly, and I felt him go still. “Is it the pup?”

I could only nod through the pain.

Something fierce flashed in his eyes–his wolf rising to protect its mate and young.

“Breathe.” His voice steadied, hands finding mine. “Look at me. Breathe with me.”

I forced myself to meet his eyes, to match my breathing to his. In. Out. In. Out.

“Easy for you to say,” I panted, my nails digging into his palms. “You’re not the one–ah!”
