“Congratulations, Alpha Theo, Lady Kaia is pregnant”

When the doctor said these words, my head turned to Kaia sharply in disbelief.

I couldn’t believe it. I held Kaia’s hand and kissed her knuckles. She nodded weakly, and I couldn’t stop shaking with joy.

“She needs to get some rest to recover her strength,” the doctor suggested, but Kaia insisted on celebrating the pack run night with everyone.

Kaia didn’t want to stay back, so the doctor allowed it. After the doctor left. I took Kaia out to celebrate the pack run night and the new moon with everyone.

The thought of becoming a father was itching away at my soul, and I badly wanted everyone to know that Kaia and I were expecting.

When we stood in front of my pack, I looked at Kaia, and she let me tell them the good news, so I did.

Everyone was happy for us, and they took turns congratulating us.

Before the party ended, Kaia became too sleepy, and I took her to our room, where she fell asleep immediately.

I was sure it was the sedative working; a little must have slipped in while she was talking to the doctor..

I covered her with a blanket, and I stayed with her. Afraid of leaving her alone for even a second.

My precious mate is expecting our most precious gift, and now she is even more sensitive. I have to make sure she’s comfortable in every way possible.

Half an hour later, I heard a knock on the door, so I went to open it. I didn’t want Kaia’s sleep to get disturbed.

I wasn’t expecting anyone, per se. Zane was with Justine at the party, and Lucien wouldn’t come here.

Speaking of Lucien, I hadn’t seen him the whole day; it was rare.

When I opened the door, Kingsley was standing there with a smile on his face, and I knew why he had come.

I didn’t want to let him into our room, even though we had squashed our beef and were trying to move forward; my hear still hadn’t fully recovered from everything he did to me.

And now that my mate and I are expecting, I don’t want anything to disrupt this journey.

Begrudgingly, I stepped aside and let him.

“How is she doing?” He asked, looking at Kaia, who was sleeping soundly.

I looked at her as well, and my heart rippled.

“She’s recovering. The doctor said she will be fine after resting for a few hours,” I replied. “He gave her a sedative, that’s why she fell asleep suddenly”

“She’s a lucky charm, isn’t she?” he asked, and I looked at him, unsure what he meant. “I mean, everything has been going so well since she came into our lives”

“I agree,” I said, smoothing invisible wrinkles on my shirt. “My life took a turn for the better when she came into it. I will

forever be indebted to her for giving me a chance at life”

Kingsley patted my shoulders lightly. I saw his eyes brimming with emotion.

“You know,” Kingsley cleared his throat. “When Mariela told me she was pregnant with you, my world bloomed. Everything we knew became more and more beautiful by the day. Your mother and I couldn’t wait to meet you”

He looked into the distance as he recalled the past. I saw tears brimming, but he didn’t let them.

“When you were born, you became the centre of our lives. We showered you with love and affection, we couldn’t live without you,” he said, and I wondered why he was suddenly telling me this. “I thought I couldn’t live without you, but I was wrong. When Mariela died, I stopped living”

“Overcome by grief for my dead mate, I allowed myself to live without you. I let distance take everything we had, and years later, I can never bring back the moments and love I took away from you.” Kingsley pinched my shoulder, and I looked at him. “Son, don’t make the mistakes I made in my life. No matter what you go through in life, don’t shut the doors of your heart to your kids; it’s not their fault, so don’t make them pay”

Kingsley looked away, probably feeling embarrassed, and, true to my words, he was.

“I’m sorry, I’m in no position to teach you anything about being a father,” Kingsley said. “I wasn’t exactly a good father to you. But, I hope you allow me to teach you the little I know, please”

“I’d need all the help I can get, Father,” I muttered. “The feeling of becoming a father is exciting and scary at the same time. I don’t know what to say”.

“I know that feeling, son,” he chuckled. “I felt that I was going to burst with emotions when Mariela was pregnant with you. I felt every emotion that she felt” Kingsley returned his gaze to Kaia. ” All Kaia needs right now is your love and support. She will be very fragile, vulnerable and wrecked because of her hormones. Be there for her”

“Will she be fine?” I asked, fear suddenly gripping my heart when I remembered my mother. “She won’t end up like mother, right?”

Kingsley looked into my eyes and saw the fear basking there.

He pulled me himself and patted my back while I struggled to get a hold of my emotions.

“Kaia will not end up like Mariela, trust me”, he said with concern. “We won’t let anything bad happen to her. We will not allow what happened to Mariela to repeat itself. I promise you, Kaia and the baby will be fine”

I nodded vigorously, as if I needed to hear that to be assured nothing would happen to Kaia.

If anything happens to her, I won’t live anymore.

“She’s pale,” I muttered after calming down.

“The doctor said she’ll be fine, right?” Kingsley said, and I nodded. “Then, don’t worry, she will be fine”

Kaia was fast asleep, and it didn’t look like she would wake up anytime soon. I like that. She needs to rest and recover fast.

“Would you like to grab a beer?” Kingsley suggested, and I nodded.

He and I had never shared a beer before; this was new, and I wanted to experience it.

I hesitated, looking at Kaia.

“It’s okay if you want to stay back with her,” Kingsley said.

“No, it’s okay. Let’s grab the beer,” I said. “Kaia won’t wake up until the morning because of the sedative”

“Okay,” Kingsley led the way.

We sat on the balcony, looking at the bright moon while sipping beer.

I felt a burst of happiness engulf me, with everything it came with.

The party had ended, and Zane told me that the guests left while he and Justine returned to their wing to rest.

“You know, we should have done this earlier,” I said, raising the bottle of beer. “I mean sharing beers”

“Oh, right,” Kingsley said, and sadness filled his eyes. “I was too busy being a coward then. I didn’t even realise you started drinking”

“The first time I drank beer, Zane made me do it,” I recalled, my eyes glistening with joy. “We went to a house party in another town, and he dared me to drink a bottle of beer, and so I did. At first, I didn’t like it, but then I gradually realised it was good and I wanted more”

“Haha! It must have started awfully at first”. He said, and I laughed, recalling how I thought it started funny and weird at the time.

“You and Cara, how did it happen?” I found myself asking.

He breathed deeply into the wind.

“After your mother’s death, I was mad on the verge of going feral. I was invited to an alpha crowning ceremony in Moonshine pack, that’s when I smelt someone so intoxicating I almost couldn’t breathe without finding her. When I saw her, my wolf called out to her. We had found our second chance mate, a widowed she-wolf with a young son, just like you. We quickly got attached and spent the night together, then I brought her to Shadowclaw, and the rest was history”

“That’s epic,” I commented, then sipped my beer. “Your meeting and second chance to live and love again”

“I wish that were true,” Kingsley sighed. “Cara used to be a sweet woman. I wonder what went wrong”

“Nothing went wrong, you weren’t just paying attention earlier,” I muttered, more to myself than to him.

We fell silent. I wasn’t ready to elaborate, and he was too ashamed to admit he had been too blind by his love for his mate that he turned a blind eye to everything she did.

Moreover, there was no use talking about it now.

What is done is done. It won’t change anything.

“Lucien,” I said. “What plans do you have for him? I can’t keep fighting with him over my pack”

“I should have done something a long time ago, but it’s not too late. I will do something about it soon”

“Please make it quick, my mate is pregnant. I don’t want anything that would disturb her peace during this time,” I found myself talking like an overprotective mate and father.

I wanted to laugh at myself for the sudden change.

“Don’t worry, Lucien will not harm Kaia”, he said.

“I’d hope so because I wouldn’t know what I’ll do to him if any harm comes to Kaia and our baby because of him”, I warned, gritting my teeth seriously.

Kingsley nodded silently. I couldn’t tell what was running through his mind.

After a while, he cleared his throat.

“About Nightshade, what have you decided?” He asked me.

“What else is there to decide?” I asked. “He invited me, and I’m going with my mate to participate in the games as we should. Uncle Mathew’s beef is with you, not me, Dad. I’m not opting out. Besides, Kaia is eager to go too”

“No! No!” Kingsley remarked. “I wasn’t expecting you opt out, I was just worried you’d feel awkward there, but if you’re fine with it, then it’s good” Kingsley sipped his beer, looking away to avoid my eyes.

“Why don’t you talk to uncle Mathew and Aunt Morgana once?” I suggested, and he turned to look at me sharply. “It’s been years, why don’t you explain yourself and apologise to them?”

They once had a great relationship. I don’t think whatever happened was too big for dialogue to mend.

After all, if they still check up on me after all these years, it means they don’t hate him that much.

Just mad at him for something he did.

Kingsley breathed hesitantly. “I will try my best, son”

“If your best is not enough, try harder”, I added.

He nodded thoughtfully, and I knew he was going to give it a shot.

After we finished our beer, he returned to his room while I went back inside and climbed into bed with Kaia.

I leaned in, kissed her forehead, and slept by her side.
