The Alpha: Claiming His Enemy's Daughter novel Chapter 1020

Chapter 1020: SIDE STORY (WILL): THE BABY

In Will’s eyes, Hanna was very perfect. Even if people said that everyone had their own flaw, but for him, Hanna had none.

She was so bright and radiant. Her smile was blinding and the sight of her alone could warm his cold heart. _{freewёbnoνel.com}

Will felt like he was going crazy that he actually fell harder for her in each passing day. Their nights were peaceful, but most of them would be passionate.

Hanna was very patient with her and whenever she was around, his main focus would be her. Will would unconsciously look for her in the crowd of people and only when his eyes found her, he could be relaxed again.

He didn’t think it was possible, but now whenever Will remembered the past, he would always see her. The time during his slavery faded in the background. Hanna was all he remembered.

Her kindness, her smile, her voice, her touch, everything...

And now, Will was going insane when he found Hanna was sick. A shifter shouldn’t be sick easily, if it happened, it must be something serious and Will had been on edge when he took her to Penny, the royal healer.

"So, what happened?" Will asked. His brows furrowed, as if the frown would be permanent.

"She is fine," Penny said with a chuckle.

"How can she be fine when she has been feeling off since two days ago?!" Will didn’t usually raise his voice, but he did when he saw Penny didn’t take his mate’s health seriously, she even chuckled?

Hanna placed her hand on his arm to calm him down, but Penny didn’t take it to heart, since she knew how protective men around the king were when it came to their mate. The king was the ultimate example of how devoted a man to their woman.

"Don’t you notice something is off?" Penny asked, she seemed to have a lot of time in her hand to tease the agitated Will. "Don’t you find something different about her?"

Will was not happy with this riddle, but he indeed noticed something was a slightly different with Hanna, but not in a bad way. He noticed a little thing that changed about her, but what stood out the most was her scent.

"Her scent is sweeter..." he said absentmindedly, which made Hanna blushed.

"I don’t think my scent changed," she said.

However, Penny agreed with Will. "Yes, most of the time, a woman shifter would have a change of scent whenever they were pregnant," she said it casually, as if she was talking about the weather.

Penny enjoyed the sight of Hanna and Will when her words started to sunk in. She then burst into a laughter when she walked over and hugged her.

"Congratulation!"

Will snapped from his reverie when he heard Penny congratulated Hanna. He looked dumbfounded and probably this was not the best reaction that he had because he was silent for so long in which worried Hanna.

"Are you, okay?" Hanna asked. He shook his hand and Will only nodded. He stared at her flat stomach. No one would notice that she was pregnant if they saw her right now.

If the queen was in the capital city, she would have noticed her pregnancy right away, since she had a way to recognize it early.

"I am fine."

Hanna looked worried and Penny looked confused, because she thought Will would burst into tears, or even laughed so hard, but his lack of reaction made the two women concern.

In the end, Hanna excused herself and Will, as they returned to their house, where she sat him down, because she was not sure why Will was being like this.

"Are you, okay?" Hanna asked, she sat down next to him and caressed his head like usual.

"I am fine."

It was the same sentence.

Hanna bit her lip, she didn’t want to ask about this because she dreaded the answer, but she really needed to know.

"Don’t you... feel happy about our baby?"

Will finally lifted his head and looked at her in the eyes. "Do you think... I can be a good father?" he asked in small voice, he looked genuinely scared.

You could say that Will was one of the best warriors, he was there with the alpha during the war and had gone through countless battles and even more adversity, but right he was scared to think that he was going to be a father.

On the other hand, Hanna was actually glad that was the reason why Will was being very quiet. She was thinking the worse.

"Of course, Will." Hanna kissed his forehead. "We will be a good parent for our child."
