Mated to Her Alpha Instructor (Eileen and Regis) novel Chapter 71

Regis

I stood beside the bed, watching Eileen sleep in the soft lamplight. Her breathing had finally evened out, her small body curled on its side, one hand tucked beneath her check. She looked impossibly young like this, fragile in a way that made my chest ache with the need to protect her from everything–from the cruelty of her family, from wolves like Andrew, from a world that had taught her she wasn’t worth defending.

Yet beneath that fragility, I’d seen steel. She’d walked into my rage today, knelt before my half–shifted form without flinching, and brought me back from the edge of murder with nothing but her voice and her trust. She was stronger than she knew, and I would spend however long it took making sure she believed

I’m not going anywhere, I promised, settling carefully on the edge of the bed.

She shifted closer, her hand finding mine. ‘Regis… I don’t want to wait anymore. Her voice was quiet but steady. “I choose you. Not because of the baby, not because I’m scared or alone. Because I trust you. Because when I think about my future, I want you in it.”
