♍Andres' P. O. V.♍
I ordered the pack members to move to a new pack house a week ago. They left this early morning. It's a big house, still inside the territory, but a little far from here. This house is going to be mine and Amari's, and our children's...I mean in the future. No one would know that I live with only her.
Still, my second, third in command, and Commander in chief will be coming around because my office is in this house. And the meeting will still be held at the meeting hall (Conference room).
I went out of my room and I'm instantly engulfed by her scent, her 'oh, sweet, sweet scent.' She smells so sweet with her floral-fruity scent. It's her natural scent, not any perfume. Not even the most expensive perfume in the world could rival that.
I followed where her sweet scent is strong, and it leads me to the stairs. I fasten my pace as I saw her walk stumbling and holding on to the railing tightly. I held her by her waist as she was about to fall. I feel the static in my skin as I was able to touch her skin directly. Cliche? I know. Because her shirt was rolled up by my hand.
Where does she think she's going? She's supposed to be resting and sleeping in her room!
"Where are you going?" I asked. It came out harsh, but I don't care. "Shouldn't you be resting in your room?"
Surely, she rolled her eyes. She thought I didn't know? Hah! I can even read her thoughts. I should teach her how to block her mind. I don't want to risk others hearing her talk in her mind.
"Don't roll your eyes, love." I mused.
How did he know?
Is he a psychic?
Seriously, love?
Doesn't this person ever feel tired of coming around...why can't he just leave me alone!
I almost laugh at her thoughts. It's amusing how she just keeps her irritation to herself.
Why does she always want me to stay away from her? She must know by now that it would never happen, EVER!
She turned to me with my hands still around her. She knitted her eyebrows at me, looking cute as ever.
"What?" She looks so adorable when getting angry and irritated. I just shook my head in amusement, and a small smile went to my lips.
She jerked my hands away which causes her to lose her balance. Fear is all I felt as she was about to fall. What if she fell off the stairs and I wasn't there? She is clumsy as ever. She better be careful now that she is carrying our baby and she should stop being stubborn. I was able to catch her, gently and firmly holding her back.
"Don't ever do that again!" I scolded. I'm not going to let her be by herself again. If she's alone, she might fall off the stairs or slip on a slippery floor. She must be with me in my room and that's final! "I'm not allowing you downstairs alone again...you and our baby could be in great danger! I'm not allowing you to have your room again... you're going to share the room with me!"
Her eyes widen and talks back, "There's no way I'm going to be sleeping in the same room with you!"
She straightens up and I let go of her. She walked down the rest of the stairs and sat on the couch. I guess it's her pregnancy making her feel tired that easily. I sat on the couch next to her, but not too close.
"Will you...for awhile just...listen to me?" I pleaded like the desperate man I am. Never once, did I plead or beg anyone. It's them to plead and kneel in front of me. Only to her, I will plead and beg.
Now she's fuming in anger and trying to walk away. Only to stumble back on the couch as she stood up so suddenly. I got so worried. It is hard to be carrying a baby in the womb for nine months? That's how long they have to suffer during pregnancy.
"Are you okay, princess?" I asked her softly. The warmness of my voice didn't go unnoticed.
Is that his way of getting on my pants again, by pretending to be nice?
Yes! But I'm not pretending to be nice.
She just tried to walk off ignoring my worried question. I pulled her back recklessly causing us to fall back on the couch with her on top of me. I like it here. I locked my arms around her when she tried to get away again, but failed. You're secured now, Princess.
"What are you doing?" she asked in annoyance. I just shrugged and tightens my hold. I hope I'm not squeezing our baby. I just wanna stay like this for a little while. Suddenly, she elbowed me in the ribs causing me to shriek in surprise. Ouch! It wasn't really painful, but I wanted to be mad at her. When did she have the room for elbowing me? She crawled back on the couch away from me. Wow! She wanted to make fun of me.
I pretended to play along and clutch my ribs to soothe the pain. She thought she got me when her elbow felt like a feather.
"You're gonna regret that!" I said in a warning tone, while she gulped.
Suddenly, I heard a sniffle and a loud sob. Did I say something wrong? I snap my head and looked up at her.
"Hey, what's wrong?" I asked worriedly. Good job, Andres, you made her cry! I cursed under my breath at my fault. I ran my hand through my hair in frustration. I soften, "What did I say that made you upset?"
She shook her head and whispered, "Nothing, just stay away from me. I don't know what you want from me." She whimpered as she confessed. What is she talking about? "You got what you wanted. What else do you want? You never allow me to leave, I feel like a prisoner here. Do you see me as someone you can use as a bed warmer? Well, I'm not like that!" I know she's not like that. She never likes things like that. I don't even see her like that. Is that what she thinks of herself?
Her tears are now streaming uncontrollably. I'm getting mad at myself now. I'm clenching and unclenching my fist. Even my jaws harden.
"I always dreamed my first time to be with my mate when we got married"-she bit her lip-"but what happened was the very opposite. You took my innocence in the worst possible way! I was only helping you in your bed, it turned out to be the nightmare of my life...you almost killed me! You are the worst person I've ever met...and four days ago, you tried to do it again, knowing I'm already pregnant! What do you really want from me? Is it something that Kelly told you? You believed her when the truth is I never done anything like that before? You even took my first kiss! You are a selfish man! You only think of yourself, RaPiSt!" she bellowed. I don't know what to say. Everything she said hit me. Those words that left her mouth are knives to my heart. I feel like someone is stabbing me and my heart sank. I knew that very night that it was her first time and that she really is innocent when it comes to things like that.
She sat down on the couch while crying, while I stood there like a rock.
When I looked at her, she has fallen asleep. I smiled sadly, knowing my mate is hurting and I am the cause of it. Yes, mate. She's my mate and she didn't even recognize me.
I carried her bridal style and went upstairs to my room. She weighs like a feather. Compared to my muscular form, she is tiny. Up to now, I haven't seen her transform into her wolf form yet. I bet she's tiny and cute as a wolf too.
I placed her down on the bed and slid down next to her. She started to shiver, so I drape my hand around her causing her to snuggle close to me. She is now using my arm as a pillow. I feel contented every time I'm with her. I wish she didn't experience that terrible nightmare...Maybe-never mind.
I kissed her on the forehead gently, and longer on the lips. It's so soft and sweet. I started rubbing her belly and say, "Baby, always protect your mommy when you grow up, okay? Don't be a stubborn pup. I love you... And I love you, mommy."
Amari unconsciously sighed and hugged me with her small hand, I stiffen.
"I love you so much, mia amore." I kissed her forehead.
"I love you so very much, my love." I kissed her temple.
"I love you, I love you, my little mate," I whispered and kissed her cheek.
"Please love me back. I'm crazy about you," I pleaded in a whispher voice.
I kissed her on the lips with so much hunger. I couldn't take it anymore. She moaned in protest as I pinned her on the bed, climbing on top of her. She hasn't woken up yet.
When I started to take off her shirt, I stopped myself as I realized what I am doing. I'm taking advantage of her vulnerability. I'm never doing that again to her. I hope not!
I put back her shirt properly and lay down next to her. She turned her back to me and I hugged her from behind, rubbing her belly. I can already feel a little bump.
I don't know what would be the gender of our pup. Doc Jamie said, soon we will find out. She knew about Amari and me. Only a few people know about Amari being my mate. Only Jedrick, Xander, Chase, and Doc Jamie. No one must know. Many are trying to bring me down already and looking for my weakness. My enemies just got bigger in number.
I trained for ten years. There, I created enemies. They always wanted to make me weak and even tried to kill me. Guess what! I'm becoming stronger and stronger, especially now that I have her, my Amari. Now, we're going to be a family, soon. I'll try to control my anger and be gentle with Amari. She's the love of my life after all. I wanted to wake up every morning with her in my bed.
While thinking of these things, I started drifting off. The last image in my head before I sleep...is Amari with her big tummy and I am rubbing her belly from behind, while we are in a swing.
