"Are you okay?" Leland asked when he saw Sophie enter the building, looking so pale. She pressed her lips and shook her head weakly. The man became worried and quickly lifted her in his arms. "You must be sick."
Before Sophie could say anything, he strode toward their bedroom and shouted orders to Duncan to find their healers.
"I am just feeling nauseous," Sophie protested after Leland put her down on their bed. "It's the baby."
"Oh..." The Alpha's face suddenly turned bright at the mention of their baby. "Was he naughty in there?"
His voice was so gentle and soothing. There was no trace left of his rage when he wanted to kill Nicholas outside earlier. Sophie shook her head and touched his cheek.
"No. It's normal. Soon, I will start vomiting and feel so much discomfort," she explained. "It's similar to my previous pregnancy. Just ask the healer to give me some potion to help with nausea."
