I rose from the bed, stretching my muscles. I’d already identified the weakest part of the wall. I knew the cell behind mine was empty from the lack of sound and scent in the air, so my quickest way out was through the connecting wall and then through the door which should be unlocked.
Almost out of chances baby.I sent her an image of my plan.
I’ll tell you. Her voice down the bond was shaky.
I waited, my fingers flexed, ready to punch through the wall.
There’s a chance I’m pregnant.
That I didn’t expect. Sudden joy flooded my body, sending my blood fizzing in my veins. My legs grew weak and I dropped back to the bed. I didn’t bother to ask why she thought it might be true. If she thought she might be pregnant, I believed her.
I sent her all my love. My hope. My joy. As much as I had already fantasised about making her pregnant, about a little girl with her green eyes, the truth that she might be pregnant already?
Best feeling of my life, bar the moment I gave her my bite. This. This was what life was about. My mate. A baby.
Sweetheart, that the best news I’ve ever received.
Her hope shone down the bond, shining like sunlight.You’re pleased?
Of course. Did you doubt me?
I didn’t know what you’d think. I magically fried my implant when I read that if I was pregnant and you were sentenced that it would give us more time. And then I forgot to talk to you about it, after my meltdown.
I couldn’t be happier baby. Truly. And you? Do you want to have my baby?
Her hope was clear, but I wanted her to tell me. I needed to hear that she wanted this as much as I did.
More than anything.
Yes!
Fuck the two-day plan. I needed to hold my mate in my arms. And if it turned out she wasn’t pregnant already, I’d keep her on my cock until I’d planted a kid in her.
Anything my baby wanted.
Tell Luc he has till tonight. I’m not spending another night away from you.
We can’t be ready by then!
You’ll be ready enough. Eight o’ clock. Now go, baby. Work out where we’ll be hiding out. Just make sure it has a bed big enough for the two of us.

Electra
My legs shook with adrenaline as I stared unseeing at the clothes in front of me.
My insane, hot, demanding Shifter mate had threatened to break out of prison just because he thought I was keeping secrets.
Slowly, I let his reaction sink into my soul. His response to my news was everything I could have hoped for. Initial shock. Then fierce joy so intense it was almost a tangible thing.
He wanted a baby. With me.
