Sinful Mates 1-3 novel Chapter 65

　　I looked back at Caroline fear consuming every cell in my body paralysing me as she gazed back with tears in her eyes. “They must never know Imogen not until your baby is due. They find out they won’t hesitate to change you.”

　　“Don’t they want kids though? It would be one of their kids. I don’t understand why they wouldn’t be happy about this” My voice coming out just above a whisper. I was confused. If they loved me like they claim to, why would they hurt me in such a way?

　　Caroline seemed to hesitate for a minute unsure if she should answer.

　　“You’re hiding something. What aren’t you telling me, this is good thing I don’t see how they would think it was bad.”

　　“You have been given a deadline, Imogen. Three days. I may be able to push it out to four but that’s delaying the inevitable, this is the only way” I had a feeling she wasn’t telling me something, I knew it couldn’t just be that. After spending so long at trying to hide in the shadows hoping for a human life, how could they turn down the thought of having a child.

　　“That’s not it, you’re hiding something. Either tell me the truth, Caroline, or I will ring them. I can’t believe you would try to lie to me. I know we haven’t known each other for long, but you know how I can’t stand the lies and the secrets they keep. So please just be honest with me” I tell her feeling suddenly emotionally exhausted, everything would be easier if everyone, would just speak the truth instead this back forth yoyo effect they do trying to cover up their lies. It was really starting to bug me that every supernatural creature I have met has out right lied to me, time and time again, then they scratch their heads and wonder why I have trust issues go figure.

　　Caroline sighed. “I worry you may change your mind,” she said thoughtfully.

　　“If this is my only chance to have a child before my life ends believe me, I will take it,” I told her truthfully. She nodded and sat down on the stool at the island bench.

　　I sat across from her waiting for her to answer.

　　“You’re human Imogen, we don’t know which of my sons fathered this child” I was confused what’s that got to do with anything we are all mates. I don’t think they would care who was the father biologically.

　　“Your point?” I asked trying to figure what she was trying to tell me. She looked away not meeting my gaze before she sighed.

　　“If the baby is werewolf, it will kill you, they won’t take that chance,” she said her voice coming out shaky before she turned her eyes back to me.

　　“I don’t understand, you said werewolf and human babies come out for the most part human, with only a few advanced abilities but not enough to distinguish between them.”

　　“Yes, that is true. But no human has ever survived giving birth to a werewolf baby. They may not be able to shift or anything, but in utero the baby will literally tears itself out of you.”

　　“How when they can’t shift you said it yourself that werewolf babies born to human mothers, can’t shift and don’t carry on the traits of a werewolf”

　　“Yes, because after the child is born and the child grows the DNA that makes them a half breed slowly loses its essence if you like, in utero they are half Lycan DNA. It’s not until the child hits about four when they lose majority of the Lycan DNA or venom if you will.”

　　“And if it’s a vampire baby?” I ask now hoping this child is actually Theo’s and not Tobias’s.

　　“Nothing you will crave blood during your pregnancy, but the child would be born like any other human baby and they will be human, it would weaken you because the baby will be feeding off you more than a normal child but won’t kill you” She stated. This whole procreation shit was giving me headache. Everything was so confusing.

　　“They won’t take that chance with you Imogen they find out you’re pregnant they will change you without even considering what you want. I know my sons. They won’t risk losing you.”

　　I nodded in agreeance and Caroline suddenly stood up.

　　“I will come back Tomorrow; I can’t risk staying now. Your emotions have been heightened and they would be able to feel your distress. I actually wouldn’t be surprised if they are on their way here already.”

　　“But what do I do?” I asked suddenly frightened.

　　“Don’t give them any reason to expect anything we have discussed, I will bring a friend Tomorrow and we will come up with a plan, No one must know Imogen. I can’t even trust Josiah with this secret. Be careful with what you think around them. Theo will snoop if he becomes concerned, just keep them distracted until Tomorrow then you and I are leaving.”
