The White Wolf Series Book 4 - CHAPTER FOUR — Our Child

Drake & Amy (Amy’s POV)

“We should make another one,” my mate said, looking down at our little boy.

He was the surprise of a lifetime because we thought that he was a girl up until | gave birth to him a few hours ago.

He was carrying him around, refusing to put him in his crib. | enjoyed watching him with our pup, and if the birthing pain weren’t still fresh in my mind, | would have him put another pup in me right now.

“Sure,” | said, smirking a little. “Will you be the one to give birth to the next one?” Drake looked up at me and smiled.

“| would if | could,” he said. “But | can’t, so you will have to.”

| chuckled and shook my head.

“| want a girl,” Drake said, looking back down at our baby. “I was preparing myself to be a girl dad. | don’t want that to go to waste.”

| laughed quietly. Drake wasn’t kidding. He was so excited to have a little girl. “We can revisit the subject after | forget the pain,” | said, making him look up at me.

He approached my bed and bent down to k*iss my forehead. “I am so sorry, princess,” he said. “If | could, | would take all of your pain away.”

| looked up at him and smiled.

“| know,” | said softly.

He placed a small k*iss on my I*ips, making me greedy for more.

“How about you put our pup in his crib and come lay next to your mate for a while?” | asked, grinning at him. “You don’t have to ask me twice,” he said, walking toward the crib.

He placed a soft k*iss on our pup’s cheek and put him down.

He walked back to me, and | made room for him in my bed. He laid next to me and pulled me into his arms.

| sighed contently. The pain lessened as soon as | was in his arms. “Thank you for making me the happiest man alive,” he mumbled as he tilted my head up.

| smiled and pressed my I*ips against his.

“What are we going to name him?” | asked, chuckling.

We wanted to name our baby girl Halley, but that was obviously not happening anymore. “How about Hayden?” Drake asked.

He placed a small k*iss on the tip of my nose. | smiled and pressed my body closer to his. “| like it,” | said. “Alpha Hayden.”

Drake smiled and pressed his I*ips against mine.

“What did | do to deserve you?” he mumbled as he took a deep breath. “Your soil had a fungus, and your agronomists couldn’t figure it out,” | answered, making him laugh.

“Thank Goddess for that fungus,” he said. “I don’t know what | would have done without it.”

“You would probably still be drooling after Emma,” | said, smirking. His eyes widened. | chuckled.

“| never loved her,” he mumbled, and | could hear the fear in his voice. “I was in love with the idea of her.” I smiled and caressed his cheek.

“I know,” | said.

“| didn’t think you knew,” he mumbled quietly.

I smirked and nodded.

“She is my best friend,” | said. “Of course | knew.”

Drake g*roaned and leaned his forehead against mine.

“F*uck,” he mumbled. “I never loved her, Amy. | never loved anyone the way | love you. | never wanted her the way | wanted you. She was just an idea | fell in love with. She is made for Logan the same way you are made for me.”

| chuckled and tangled my f*ingers into his hair. | pulled his head up so | could look into his eyes. “| know that,” | said. “You don’t have to worry.”

Drake sighed and caressed my cheek.

“Do you know when | realized that | wanted you?” he asked me.

I smiled and nodded.

“| was slowly falling in love with you while you were here helping with our soil issue,” he said. “I didn’t realize it, though. Not until | saw you at that Alpha gathering at Logan’s pack.”

He placed a small k*iss on my I*ips before he continued.

“| was staring at Emma, and Josh kept telling me to stop it because she was a married woman,” he said, chuckling. “I realized that | wasn’t staring at her because | wanted her but because | wanted a mate. | wanted that kind of love she and Logan had.”

He placed a small k*iss on my cheek, making me smile.

“And then you came to talk to me,” he mumbled. “My whole world lit up in a second. | remember thinking how beautiful and smart you are.”

“Yes, | am,” | said, making him chuckle. “But then you started talking to that guy, and | was pissed off,” he sighed, rolling his eyes. “I knew that | couldn’t let anything happen between the two of you. | knew that | had to do something before someone else took you from me.”

| smiled and pulled him in for another k*iss. “I am so happy that you stopped me from going out with that guy,” | said as | stopped k*issing him. “I had the biggest crush on you, but | would have never admitted it.”

He furrowed his eyebrows.

“Why not?” he asked.

I sighed and caressed his cheek.

“| thought that | wouldn’t be good enough for an Alpha,” | said quietly. “I thought that | wouldn’t be good enough for you.” Drake sighed and pulled me into a hug.NôvelDrama.Org © 2024.

“It's the other way around,” he said. “I am the one who is not good enough for you, princess.” | slapped his arm playfully.

“Stop saying that,” | said. “You are the best thing that has ever happened to me.”

He chuckled and k*issed the top of my head.

“| love you so much, princess,” he said.

“| love you too, my Alpha,” | said, smiling contently.

Our son started crying, making us chuckle.

“| got him,” Drake said as he let me go and stood up.
