The Alpha's Surprised Mate (Book #1 of Silver Moon Series) novel Chapter 21

Twenty-One: Happy Surprise

Mykayla

I know Dustin is worried about me. I haven’t been eating well, and if I did, I would vomit soon after, so what is the point? While it is true the stress of everything is affecting me; there is more than just that. I started to suspect something about one week ago. I told him one day while we were working that I needed to run an errand at lunch. While it was partially true, it was also a way to make sure I was alone when I went and picked up the proof I needed. After I had taken the test and it said positive, I hurried and got rid of the evidence. I am pregnant and am scared. I am sure Dustin will be happy, but this is the worst timing. With whoever is out there watching us and everything else going on, this is the last thing we need right now. Besides, Dustin and I have only been together for three months. I went back to work and tried to act like nothing was wrong. I know he has caught on but is not pressuring me to tell him what is wrong. I am sitting in the rec room watching tv when Rye comes walking in eating a sandwich. I am not sure what is on it but whatever it is has me running to the bathroom, and up comes my lunch. GREAT, I was really hoping to keep at least one meal down today, but I guess I am not that lucky. I finally stop heaving and just sit with my back against the wall. I have my head on my knees and am taking deep breaths trying to control my nausea. All of a sudden, I can feel something placed in front of my face.

“Here these will help with nausea. Don’t worry they will not hurt the baby.” Rye says with a sweet smile.

“How did you know?” I asked with a shaky voice.

“Being a Fae means we can tell when anyone’s body changes. We are able to sense the slightest change in hormones. Plus, I can hear the extra heartbeat in your body. Like vampires, the fae has exceptional hearing.” He explains.

I quickly put one of the hard candies in my mouth, and my nausea is gone within seconds. I get up and hug him. He just laughs at me. I tell him goodnight and start climbing the stairs to my room. I am so happy that my nausea is gone, but I still have the issue of when to tell Dustin. I really don’t want to stress him out. I open the door and walk into the room. Sitting there on the bed shirtless is Dustin. He looks up at me as I smile at him. He gives me a half-smile.

“What’s wrong?” I ask worriedly.

“Wow, I must look like shit for you to ask me that. I was actually gonna ask you the same thing. Mykayla you hardly eat and I have heard you the last two mornings throwing up. Please tell me what is wrong.” He says.

OH FUCK, what do I do? I don’t want to lie to him, but I am so scared that he will not want this right now. I sag my shoulders and decide he has the right to know, even if it means the end of us.
