Mated To Alpha Kessler

Chapter 78



Lyra’s POV

The time spent at Northville has been incredibly memorable. It’s been a much-needed break from everything that’s been weighing on my mind. My cravings for peace have been beyond words, and thankfully, my three companions have been supportive.

What’s even more heartwarming is that they don’t require me to lift a finger. Despite being CEOs in their respective field, they prefer to spend their time together, just being there for one another.

There are moments when I can’t help but feel a deep connection to them, due to the way they circle me, offering support. It’s as if we’re somehow related.NôvelDrama.Org (C) content.

Sometimes, I forget that I’m a trust fund baby. Despite Jack’s cruel demeanor, he hasn’t stripped me of my privileges; his focus remains solely on power and expanding his territory.

My mind drifts to Kayla, I wonder how she must be feeling now that Jack is in the dungeon, possibly facing trial. They appeared happy together, and the turmoil surrounding his downfall must be weighing heavily on her.

Finally, my online course has come to an end, and I’m filled with gratitude. I’ve already started laying out plans to kickstart my dream of launching an event and catering service.

Conor has been incredibly supportive throughout the process, especially in helping me find the perfect space. I refuse to let my pregnancy confine me to laziness at home; I’m determined to get everything in order before launching my event and catering services.

Meanwhile, Holly received exciting news as her firm selected her as a representative for their upcoming partnership. It’s all coming together, and I am thrilled.

I was skeptical about staying alone with three men, but she put my mind at ease by assuring me that they would protect me and be there for me during my pregnancy. True to her word, I haven’t been disappointed, and to make things easier, she arranged for a live-in maid named Emma.

Lost in my thoughts, Conor’s voice snapped me back to reality. “Earth to Lyra, flopping down on the couch beside me. “You need to stop zoning out like this; it’s written all over your face.”

I playfully nudged him. “Don’t you have a girlfriend to bother? And why are you home at this hour?”

“To answer your question, one, I don’t have a girlfriend,” Conor replied with a smirk. “And two, I run my business, so I can choose to stay back at home whenever I wish. And three, today is your first appointment at the clinic, and yes, that’s the reason I’m home.”

Realizing my forgetfulness, I exclaimed, “Oh, Conor, you’re a lifesaver!” I hurriedly stood up, planted a quick peck on his head, and dashed off to change. My mind had completely forgotten about my first appointment at the clinic.

As I rushed away, Conor’s toothy grin followed me, and he warned, “Careful, Lyra!”

I headed to my room and changed into a lovely double-breasted floral gown that fell just below my knee. Opting for light makeup and a messy bun, I took a moment to admire myself in the mirror. I noticed I had gained a bit of weight all around, and my skin was glowing. Pregnancy certainly suited me, and a grin spread across my face.

As I descended the stairs, I found Steve and Kaden in the living room. They both looked up as I approached, and each gave me a peck on the cheek. “You look beautiful,” they both remarked in unison.

Feeling a bit shy, I replied, “Thank you.” Truth be told, these displays of affection were still new to me, but I decided to embrace them as they came.

“What are you two doing at home?” I inquired, curious about their unexpected presence.

Kaden smiled warmly and replied, “The baby in your stomach is our godson, and we wouldn’t miss your first appointment for anything. We’ll be going with you.”

I gazed at the three brothers, overwhelmed by their care and support. “Thank you,” I managed to say, feeling a lump form in my throat. I knew that if I said anything more, I might burst into tears of gratitude.

As we walked out the door, I had my bag in hand, and Conor kindly opened the car door for me. I thanked him, and soon we were zooming off towards the clinic.

Upon arrival, I noticed Steve had brought an umbrella to shield me from the bright sun, while Kaden took hold of my bag. Conor remained close behind me, adopting a protective stance.

“I’m being spoiled silly by these men,” I chuckled to myself as we made our way inside. To my surprise, they were allowed to accompany me into the examination room. I guess they are familiar with the clinic.

“It’s nice to meet you, Lyra. I’m Doctor Rose,” she greeted me with a warm smile, instantly putting me at ease.

“Nice to meet you too, Doctor Rose,” I replied, returning her smile.

We got down to business and she instructed me to lie on my back on the bed. Following her guidance, I raised my clothes while she applied gel to my stomach and used an ultrasound probe to examine the baby’s development.

As Doctor Rose pointed to the screen, revealing different parts of the growing bundle of joy inside me, I was filled with awe and wonder.

Then, she posed the question, “Should I reveal the gender, or would you prefer it to be a surprise?”

Before anyone else could respond, I hurriedly said, “A surprise.”

The three brothers, Steve, Kaden, and Conor, all looked disappointed, their expressions turning somber. I remained firm in my decision, choosing not to say anything further.

“Very well then, everything looks good,” Doctor Rose remarked as she handed me a tissue to wipe off the gel, which I promptly did.

As I held the printed ultrasound in my hands, I couldn’t help but reflect on the past few days. Surprisingly, thoughts of Kessler hadn’t been at the forefront of my mind lately. It seemed that the caring nature of the three brothers had a way of making me forget his existence. However, whenever I gently rubbed my stomach, it served as a gentle reminder that there was a life growing inside me, a life connected to Kessler.

After thanking Doctor Rose, the brothers gathered around to have a look at the ultrasound.

Feeling hungry and a bit tired after the appointment, we decided to head to a nearby restaurant for a meal.

As we sat down and placed our orders, I noticed the waitress stealing glances at me. I could almost read her thoughts she was probably wondering how I ended up with three attractive brothers all to myself, and perhaps even wondering about which one of them was responsible for my pregnancy.

With a knowing smile, I met her gaze, and she smiled back before walking away to attend to other customers.

After returning home, feeling tired, I quickly made my way upstairs to my room. Followed by a refreshing shower and soon I drifted off to sleep, entering the realm of dreams without much delay.

However, the grumbling of my stomach disrupted my slumber, rousing me from my peaceful sleep. “Hungry again, darn this pregnancy,” I muttered to myself as I made my way downstairs to the kitchen.

As I approached, I realized that the guys were in the midst of an argument. Curious, I halted in my tracks, trying to discreetly eavesdrop on their conversation.

Straining my ears, I could easily recognize Conor’s voice among the arguing voices. His tone was noticeably heated, and I wonder what could have sparked such frustration and anger in him.

Intrigued and a bit concerned, I made my way downstairs to where the argument was taking place,

I stopped in my tracks as I realized who Conor was arguing with. The sight before me was unexpected.
