The Alpha's Mistake

08 | Expecting

*Reina’s POV*

After everyone finally left us, I looked up at him. I still had one arm wrapped around his waist. My voice was so dry from the crying, which was so not like me. I would blame the hormones, but I knew it wasn’t. I almost lost him and have been an emotional wreck ever since.

He smiled weakly at me, making me frown. “Does something hurt?” I asked him.

“No, baby.” He replied. “I’m fine. You heard the doctor and Clarissa.” He said with a glint of mischief in his eyes, making me laugh.

“Oh, silly, hubby!” She said, pecking his lips. “You are so lucky Chloe didn’t hear that. She would probably turn you into a squirrel.” I giggled.

“You wouldn’t let her, would you?” He asked with a pout.

I rolled my eyes before sitting up. “Of course not.”

“Where are you going?” He asked with brows furrowed.

“Nowhere. I just—” I took a deep breath. “I just need to talk to you.” I said dramatically.

His smile vanished as his eyes looked at me in worry. “Already?” He asked.

“Already what?” I asked in confusion.

“Are we fighting? I just woke up. There should be rules.” He sighed, making me roll my eyes.

“No, my husband gets a pass. No arguments for as long as you were—” I closed my eyes before shaking my head.

‘He is fine. He is fine.’ I told myself.

“Reina.” Alex whispered as his hand reached for the one that I had on his chest.

I opened my eyes and smiled sadly at him. His hand reached for my cheek before he trailed his thumb across my jaw and neck, making me gulp. I missed it all. The sparks. His touch. His voice. But most importantly, him. I missed him.

I was so distracted that I didn’t notice when he placed his hand behind my neck. I only noticed when he pulled my face down so that he could crash our lips together. The moment our lips touched, it was like the world stopped. He kissed me like it was the last time and I just melted. I felt butterflies like it was our first kiss.

I settled my hands against his chest as he intensified our kiss. Goddess, was it getting hot in here? Did I mention that I missed his kisses? Because fūcking hell, I missed them.

When he finally released my neck, I could barely move. I was in a daze, making him chuckle. “It feels like we haven’t done that in a while.” He said.

“We haven’t,” I said with a frown.

“Sorry, I didn’t me—” He was saying before I shook my head.

“It’s okay, Alex.” I smiled at him.

“What was it that you wanted to talk about?” He asked with a smirk.

Goddess, this man almost made me forget.

I smiled as I sat up again, making him pout. “Can’t you talk from up close?”

“No.” I smiled at him. He was such a cutie. “I want to see your reaction,” I told him.

He furrowed his brows as he spoke. “Ok-k-ay?”

I held one of his hands as I smiled brightly. I have never been so excited about sharing something with someone. This wasn’t what I had planned for us, but I learned from last time. He was almost taken from me and would never have known.

I shook my head trying to rid myself of the sad thoughts.

“So…” I started before I brought his hand to my lips to kiss them. “Do you remember being with the moon goddess?” I asked him.

“Yeah. Then you showed up. A long time later. Why?” He asked as he squinted at me.

“Do you remember the cute little girl?” I asked him with an even bigger smile.

His face softened at the memory. “Of course. From the moment I laid eyes on the little girl, it was like I had to live to protect her. What was her name?” He closed his eyes as he tried to remember.

“Regina.” I smiled. There was no way that I would ever forget that name. I have always loved the name, especially after watching Mean Girls. Don’t judge. Regina George was hilarious.

“Our little girl.” He smiled. “Can you believe it? We will be parents to a girl.”

“Yeah. I can believe it.” I told him as I placed his hand on my stomach.

I was already showing a little. It looked like I had a food baby when I had clothes on, but without clothes, you could tell even more.

He smiled at my stomach, still not understanding what I was trying to say.

“I can’t wait to start trying for babies.” He said as he wiggled his brows, making me laugh. My mate always knew what to say to make me smile and laugh constantly.

“Not that I oppose the idea,” I said, shaking my head. “But I don’t think it would be necessary, Alpha.” I told him as his eyes grew dark.

“Don’t tease.” He growled lowly. I knew how much it turned him on that I called him alpha, but I couldn’t help it.

We stared at each other’s eyes for quite some time while I thought of what other way of getting him to understand without having to speak the words.

“Reina.” He called me, making me look up at his face.

I released his hand as I stood on my feet. I walked towards the door, quickly locking it before turning back.

He was smiling like a kid at a candy store, making me laugh.

“Calm your horses.” I teased as I unzipped my jumpsuit.

“Goddess, I should be out more often.” He said as he licked his lips, making me growl at him.

“Don’t joke like that.” I told him as my eyes got watery. Damn water works.

“Baby.” He whispered as he tried to stand up, groaning in pain.

“Alex!” I shouted as I ran to him. “Stay there.” I told him as I pushed him down.

“No. At least move me to the couch so I can appreciate your striptease.” He smirked.

“It isn’t— whatever.” I said, rolling my eyes as I helped him up.

He followed me slowly towards the couch, before sitting on it. He grabbed my hand, bringing me down to straddle him. “Alex.” I mumbled, softly. “You are distracting me!”

“Distractions are good.” He chuckled as his lips found my neck. He licked it before placing kisses on it. It was definitely distracting me, causing me to moan softly.

“Alex. We —talk—oh, goddess.” I moaned.

“I’m listening.” He said as he trailed his kisses to my shoulders as he pulled the sleeves of my jumpsuit down.

What was I fūcking doing again? This man knew how to distract people for sure.

I pushed him away from me gently, as I tried to control my heavy breathing. I was so fūcking hot and ready for him, it wasn’t even funny.

“Please, Alex. Don’t distract me.” I growled lowly as I closed my eyes to control Aurora from taking over. She was officially back, and I was happy, but not at this precise moment.

“Okay.” He said with a pout.

I quickly pulled away, standing on my feet as I finished removing my jumpsuit. I let it drop to the ground as it pooled around my feet.

Alex’s eyes roamed my body hungrily before stopping at my stomach. His head tilted to the side as he knitted his eyebrows. His eyes met mine momentarily before looking down at my stomach again as I placed my hands on my stomach.

‘I swear for an alpha, he was kind of slow.’ I almost laughed at the thought.

“Reina?” He asked, barely blinking.

“It’s exactly what you are thinking.” I finally replied as his eyes grew wide.

“Really?” He asked in awe as he reached forward to place his hand on it, instantly feeling a spark of energy that made us both freeze in shock.

“Regina?” He asked with tears in his eyes.

“I’m almost certain it is,” I said as I wiped my tears away.

“Oh, Reina.” He choked as he pulled me into his arms. “I love you so much, baby.”

“I love you too, Alex.” I said with a smile as he tightened his hold around me as I ran my fingers through his blonde hair.

He released me before bending down and placing several kisses all over my stomach. “I love you. I love you. I love you.” He repeated to our pup, making me sob further. Goddess, I was a sobbing mess. Who am I?

He pulled me back into his lap before he helped me lay down on the couch.

“What happened, Alex?” I asked him.

“The mother of my pup needs rest. Now it’s my turn to take care of my girls.” He said as he rubbed his thumb, tenderly on my cheek.

“Alex—” I was saying before he cut me off.

“No buts, Wifey. I can tell that you haven’t taken care of yourself or the pup these last few days. Let me do it.” He told me sternly, making me sigh.

“Okay, Alex.” I replied as I pulled him down, to snuggle on the couch with me. He happily joined me as he placed one arm around my back and the other hand on my stomach, protectively before placing a kiss on my neck.

I smiled, finally feeling happy, before I let my sleep consume me.

*Summer’s POV*

It has been a few days since both of my mates have been up and I couldn’t have been happier. Since they woke up, they have been bonding with our pups. My boys couldn’t get enough of their daddies.

I cradled Jade in my arms as I walked around the room slowly. I kept glancing at all my boys with a smile. Chad was lying on our bed with Jake happily sleeping on his bare chest while he rubbed his tiny back. Brad was giving Jace his bottle, but honestly, he was just holding it because Jace already had a milk overdose.

I looked at them with tears in my eyes. Tears of joy. How did I get so lucky?

“Are you okay, princess?” Brad asked me, breaking me from my thoughts.

“Mhm.” I whispered as I continued cradling Jade.

“Let me grab my little princess from you. Mommy really needs a break.” Brad told me as he removed the bottle from Jace’s mouth.

I watched him as he placed Jace in his crib but froze. I looked at him with brows furrowed before squinting my eyes at Chad. They were mind linking each other, like completely ignoring the fact that I was here with them.

“I hate when you two don’t include me in the mind link.” I muttered when their eyes glazed over again.

“Oh, it’s nothing important, Babe. I was just telling Brad that the nannies are getting the pups.” Chad replied with his heart-stopping smile.

“But it is late for them to be out. I don’t—” I was saying when we heard a knock at the door.

I squinted my eyes at them, as Brad lifted his hands in surrender. “Hey! Don’t look at me like that. It was all Chad.”

“Here. Grab Jade. You don’t expect me to open the door to the nannies with a shirtless Chad, do you?” I asked him, making him chuckle and Chad growl.

“I love it when my woman gets possessive.” He said deeply, making me instantly wet.

“You better hurry up, baby girl.” Brad growled in my ear before spanking me.

“Oh boy! We are in trouble.” I told Tasha.

“Yay! I like it when they go rough!” She purred, making me scoff.

“Yeah, right. You aren’t the one who gets the brutal twins.” I replied.

“Actually, their wolves are worse, so relax. And don’t act like you don’t like it rough, you undercover hoe.” She giggled, making me roll my eyes.

“Do not.” I replied before pushing her back.

By now, Brad had grabbed Jade and was walking towards the door to open it. I quickly grabbed Jake from Chad before smacking his arm for him to put his shirt back on.

He just stood up and walked towards the bathroom. I smiled as I watched his retreating back. Thank goddess for the witches in the family. My boys were fully healed and ready to start training again tomorrow.

“Let me know when the pups have gone with the nannies.” He said as he closed the door of the bathroom.

I walked towards the door where Brad was handing one of them our pups. She grabbed her as one of the other nannies met me halfway. “Aw. He is asleep.” She frowned as she grabbed him. She loved getting the pups to giggle happily.

“Yeah, it's late for him. Plus, he hasn’t really rested. He only got to sleep longer than two hours when my mates finally woke up.” I told her before kissing my son’s forehead.

“Good night, Gamma.” She said as she walked away with my son.

The third nanny had walked inside to grab Jace from the crib before following the other two. I pouted as I watched them leave. I hated being away from our pups.

Brad closed the door before walking to my side and wrapping his arms around my waist. “We will get them back first thing in the morning.” He promised me as he leaned down to scoop me off my feet.

“Brad!” I gasped out as I grabbed onto his shoulder tightly. “Be careful. You are still—”

“I’m completely healed, Princess.” He smirked as he pecked my lips.

He walked towards the bed, placing me gently on it.

“You can come –” I was yelling at Chad when the door of the bathroom flew open.

Music started playing, making me look out at Brad in confusion as he chuckled.

As soon as I caught on to the song, my heart rate sped up as my body trembled in anticipation.

That song. I know I have heard it before. Yes, it was from that stripper movie that Reina made me watch on one of the girl’s nights.

Oh, goddess, stripper? But...

“I’m ready to put out that fire, Baby.” I heard Chad growl above the music, making me wet.

When I looked up, there he was with the pants and helmet of a firefighter’s uniform. I gulped as my eyes grew wide.

Brad had disappeared, goddess knows where, but my eyes were a bit preoccupied at the moment.

My eyes were dark, making Chad growl as he reached me. “Sit back and enjoy the show.” He said as he bit his lips and joined Brad, who now wore a SWAT costume.

‘When the heck?’ I was thinking when Chad put the volume of the music up.

“Oh, my goddess.” Was the last thing I was able to squeak out before my mates started their performance.
