“I’m just feeling a little more tired than usual,” I said, trying to get up, but he grasped my hand right away, helping me up. My belly was heavy, and all my joints ached to death.

“Should we cancel?” he asked, peering into my face and giving me a peck on the lips. His hand rubbed my belly as I leaned against him.

“No way,” I said. I knew if I canceled, I would feel sad for the rest of the night, and all the alphas were getting ready. I stood on my tiptoes to give him a real kiss on the lips. “Stop worrying, Caleb. You’re always worrying about me, babe.”

“Because I love you,” he said, his eyes softening. “Our baby looks ready to come out.”

“Not for another week,” I groaned, placing my hand over his as he rubbed my belly. I felt my stomach tense, and I paused for moment, wincing.

“You okay, babe?”

“It’s not the real contraction,” I said. “Nothing to worry about.”

When the contraction passed, I breathed a sigh of relief. If these were Braxton-Hick’s contractions, I couldn’t imagine what the real one would feel like.

For our evening date,I wore a sparkling plum-colored gown showing off my pregnant belly. It was a light dress that didn’t cling too tight to my body. I looked into the tiny compact mirrorwhile I sat in the back of the van with Nick to my left and Dravin to my right.

“You look beautiful,” said Nick, rubbing my forearm.

I rubbed off some of the eye makeup. I didn’t know what I was thinking applying so much eyeliner. My hair was done in a high ponytail, making me look regal. This would be our last night out before the baby arrived, so I wanted to look my very best.

“He’s right, baby. You look stunning as always,” said Dravin, whose eyes were on me the moment I came downstairs to join them.

“Aww, thank you,” I said, closing my mirror and stuffing it into the designer purse by Glo-mega Nick bought me. I looked up, seeing that we were driving towards the ocean. “Where are we going? I thought we were going to a restaurant. I would have dressed more casually.”

“It’s a surprise, honey,” called Bruce from the front seat.

“You guys are always surprising me,” I said, smiling.

“Our favorite thing to do,” said Dravin, his eyes on my lips. “May I kiss those pretty lips of yours?”

I nodded, and he dove right in, pressing his lips against mine. His hand carefully curled around my neck, not messing up my hair. I absorbed his scent and cologne for the night, drugging me as I breathed in deeply. I loved my alpha’s scents even more after becoming pregnant. Most smells repelled me, but I craved to be cuddled, held, and kissed by my pack. When I pulled away, I was breathless with desire.

“I need to fix my lipstick now,” I said, pulling my purple lipstick out from my purse.

“Damn, sorry, baby.”

“It’s okay,” I said, applying a new coat.

“We’re here,” said Caleb.

Looking up, I saw what looked like a wharf. As we stepped out, I gasped when I saw a large yacht sitting in the ocean before us. It was docked with the captain in front, looking at us expectantly.

“Oh my god, what did you do, Caleb?” I asked, astonished. I had never been on a yacht before, and it looked too luxurious. The white sails flew in the wind, a stunning sight to behold. It was sleek and modern, with floor-to-ceiling windows.

“We’re going to spend the evening on that,” said Caleb, holding my left hand while Dravin held onto my right.

“This is so crazy,” I said, gazing at the water. “And romantic!”

Bruce chuckled at my words, and Caleb kissed me on the cheek.

“Shall we go?” said Caleb.

We made our way to the deck, with the captain welcoming us on board. I saw many people onboard and gasped when I saw my friends and family there. I looked at Caleb excitedly, and he winked at me. He organized all this for me last minute, and to think he gave me the option to cancel…I couldn’t imagine if I had canceled. My mom rushed over to me, hugging me with a twinkle in her eye.

She had been supportive throughout my pregnancy, coming to our place multiple times a week to cook and help out. If not for my mother and Keera, I would have felt alone during my pregnancy.

After I mated with the pack of my dreams, I could swear my relationship with my mom had gotten better. I was no longer living the life she ordained, and finding myself had strengthened my confidence. I was able to open up more, and so did she.
