Mated to Her Alpha Instructor (Eileen and Regis) novel Chapter 34

Chapter 34

Eileen

Mira froze for a heartbeat, then burst out laughing. “Pregnant? You don’t even have a boyfriend! Did you hit your head? Or maybe you’ve got a fever?”

She leaned forward, hand reaching for my forehead.

I pulled back slightly. “I found my mate.”

Her brows lifted in mock surprise. “Oh really? And who’s this mysterious mate?”

My cheeks warmed. “Vane… Instructor Vane.”

She snorted. “Right. Just like half the girls here ‘found their mate‘ in the gorgeous instructor. You’re just fangirling, admit it.”

I sighed, got up, and walked over to the small sink in the corner. “Okay. You want proof?”

I turned on the tap and splashed cool water over my neck and wrists, washing away the faint layer of scent–masking balm I’d applied that morning.

Within seconds, the air shifted–subtle but unmistakable. A warm, sweet note threaded through the room, carrying a pulse of life that only a wolf could sense.

Mira’s smile faltered. She blinked once, twice, and then her eyes went wide. For a few seconds she just stared at me, completely still–until the realization hit.

“Oh gods! it’s real…” Her sharp gasp turned into a full–on squeal.

“He wants to keep the baby, I interrupted, and watched her fury transform instantly to shock. “He said… he wants me too. He’s offered to help with everything–housing, school, all of it.”

Mira’s hands slowly released my shoulders as she sank back down beside me. “He wants- She seemed to be having trouble processing. “Eileen, do you understand what this means? You’re going to be Vane’s mate. His actual, bonded mate. You’re going to have his child. Her voice held something between awe and disbelief. “This is like something out of those healing romance stories Mom reads. The powerful Alpha and the overlooked healer, brought together by the moon’s design.”

“It’s not a story, Mira. It’s terrifying.”

“I know.” Her expression softened and she pulled me into a gentler hug. “But you’re not alone in it. That’s what matters, right? He’s stepping up. He’s taking respor.sibility. She pulled back to study my face. “Does this mean you’re moving in with him? What about your classes?”
