Book TRK
Chapter 200
Avery’s pov
Mom and I spoke some more and the tension between us from earlier is slowly but surely slipping away. She smiles, tucking some of my blonde strands behind my ear. You’re going to be a mom, I still can’t believe it.’
I try to smile back but it comes out a cringe. “A mom with a whole army of threats looming over her head. My baby isn’t even fully developed yet and I am already failing,” my voice breaks and mom grasps my hand tighter.
Don’t say that, don’t you ever say that again,” she says firmly. ” You’re already doing everything you can to protect your baby,” she smiles at me reassuringly.” You have an entire pack behind you and you have me. You are not in this alone, you have many who love you,”
I needed to hear those words, especially coming from her.
As my gentle smile graces my face a sudden sharp pain pulls on my lower stomach. I hiss, my hand flying to my stomach to cup. Mom’s eyes widen in alarm. ” Avery what’s wrong?!”
I shook my head, unable to understand what was fully happening but I knew it hurt. “I don’t know,” I gasp as another wave of pain rocks me. “It just hurts.”
Her worried eyes stare at me. “I will get Xade,” she says urgently, trying to get up but I grasp her hand. ” Wait no,” I tell her. “He’s in an important meeting with his dad and brother and I don’t want to disturb-
Before I can even finish that sentence the door bursts open and Xade’s worried and anxious eyes fall on me. He rushes over just as Xadeon and Xaden reach the doorway and looks at me with concern.
“What’s wrong baby?” Xade asked urgently, kneeling down, grasping my hand and scanning my body for any signs of injuries. ” Where are you hurt? What hurts? What’s wrong-This content provided by N(o)velDrama].[Org.
My tummy,” I cut in his anxious words. ” It suddenly pains.”
His eyes drop to my stomach in panic and he looks back at his dad. “We need to get her to the pack doctor!”
Xadeon shakes his head. “We can’t risk her being spotted out right now, the pack doctor will come here instead.”
Xade nods. “Fine. Tell him to hurry up and get here urgently,” he hiss and turns back to face me. My brows furrow as I recall how he barged in. How did you know I was unwell? You came in here already worried.”
” I could feel the stress in the bond, the pain you felt,” he stands up to sit down on the bed, lifts me in his arms and pulls me on his lap to hold me gently. “I couldn’t pinpoint where exactly you were having the pain but I knew,” he begins to rub my tummy.
“Oh?” I ask, both confused and surprised. ” You can feel that?”
There seems to be much to learn about the werewolf world, especially being mated to Xade.
His touch is soothing and calming and despite the pain still present, I lean into his touch, comforted by his warmth. ” The bond between us connects us in more ways than one,” he responds softly. “I can sometimes feel your emotions, the stress, even your pain when it’s too intense.”
Oh,” I whisper, wincing as the pain tugs at my lower stomach. “Will I also be able to feel your emotions and stress too?”
Xade nods, kissing my cheek. “Of course, when you fully turn into a werewolf you will be able to even mind link the entire pack.”
A sudden shocked gasp flutters through the air and I look up to see that it’s mom, standing beside the edge of the bed. “You’re turning into a werewolf?” her face pales.
