Page 39 of Sold to the Alpha Wolf

And then I scented it.

Senna’s hormones had shifted. They hadn’t returned to their pre-heat state. They were still slightly elevated. She felt warmer as well, only faintly, but it was enough for me to take notice. I pulled back from her, gazing down as I studied her even harder.

“What? Why are you looking at me like that?” Senna angled away, a blush creeping up her cheeks.

But I could also see the quirk of a smile tugging at her lips, one she was trying to fight back.

“You’re…are you…”

I couldn’t find the words, even though I knew what was happening. My pulse sped up as my entire being felt like it was soaring into the stratosphere.

“Jet, what’s wrong?” Senna just continued to smirk at me. “Wolf got your tongue?”

She giggled, her eyes ducking down to the floor as she smiled.

“You are, aren’t you?! Yes?”

I swept up next to her, taking her hands in mine and squeezing lightly. My being hummed, the energy welling up through me nearly impossible to contain. The brightness of our bond intensified, and I could sense Senna’s ‘yes’ before it even broke the air.

She nodded.

Immediately, I pulled her into my arms, kissing her delectable lips as emotions too unfamiliar to name swam through me, flooding my nerves with such excitement, such joy, that I could scarcely breathe.

“Senna!” She yelped with laughter and flaring hormones as I ran my lips across every inch of available skin. “You truly are. You’re pregnant.”

I knew my voice was a thin whisper into her hair, but she nodded again before slipping herself back and taking my face again.

“Yes, Jet. I’m pregnant. You’re going to be a father.” Senna’s lips hovered over mine, floating them there as she whispered, “You’ve bred me, Alpha.”

My wolf howled against my bones, a subtle shift taking my eyes and teeth. I lapped at her mark, the faint pink lines on her neck matching the shape of my fangs as I nipped gently at her.

“Gods, Omega. I’m…I’ve never…ha!” I yanked her up into my lap, seating her right over my thickening cock, right where she should be. “I’ve never been this happy before.”

Glossy tears formed in Senna’s eyes, and she lowered her head to my chest. “Neither have I.”

An easy silence spread between us as I held her, and as I cradled her head against my pec, my other hand found her lower belly. I stroked my thumb up and down the smooth plane of her body, imagining it stretched round from bearing our child.

“They, whoever they are, they might not…” Senna’s voice was muffled as she spoke, and I pulled her up to look at me.

“What, sweetness?”

She shook her head, a tear slipping free as she tried to smile. “I’m sorry. I shouldn’t be thinking like this. I just…never mind. It’s stupid.”

“Nothing you could ever feel is stupid. I can sense your worry. Talk to me.”

Senna sighed. “That’s kind of annoying, you know. How am I supposed to be able to keep anything from you?”

I sneered playfully at her, rocking her hips back and forth against my straining length as she pouted.

“You’re not. Now, come on. Spill.”

With another long breath, Senna moaned lightly as I adjusted myself against her, bucking my hips just a bit to resettle her.

“What if they have no wolf?” She met my eyes, the obvious effort she was making to focus tickling me.

“Then they have no wolf. You’ve learned now that it’s usually a part of something grander. Wolf shifter or Völva, I will love them—and you—forever.”

Melting into me, the tension clinging to Senna faded away, and she sank down onto my lap without keeping herself screwed up tight this time. She was seated properly, her arms draped around my neck, and I gazed up into her eyes with the biggest fucking grin on my face.
