Falling in love with my Ex's Alpha Chapter 130

"He-What?" I ask Jake, scared. At the same time, Kaiden enters the room.

He comes to where I am, and I forget everything around me.

I need him. *I need my mate.*

Goddess, how I missed him!

I can't see when Jake takes the tray away from me; the only thing I know is that in another second, Kaiden has his arms around my weak body, and suddenly, I feel like I'm finally at peace. Safe.

My eyes fill with tears when I feel his embrace, the warmth of my mate.

"Out!" Kaiden's voice reverberates in the hospital room, and I see Jake getting up from his chair.

"Kaiden!" I say.

"You guys have a lot to talk about," Jake says in a firm voice, but I sense from the tone he uses that he's upset about having to leave my side. "I'll come back later to see how you are."

I don't see him leave because my face is pressed against Kaiden's chest, but I hear the door closing.

The tears that were on the verge finally came down my cheeks, "I was so scared," I tell him between sobs, "I thought I would never see you again," I tighten the hug even more, even though my wrists hurt.

Kaiden doesn't say anything; he stays silently hugging me, and after a moment, I feel my shoulder get wet, and he says, "I will always find you, my little sun."

"Babe... are you..." my head moves away from his chest so I can look at his face.

I've never seen Kaiden like this, and I'm sure anyone who knows him wouldn't blame me for being surprised to see him like that. This man is like a rock.

He closes his eyes, and a few tears run down his handsome face; I loosen my arms around him, but he keeps his arms around me.

I wipe the tears from his face with my hands, his skin warm beneath my touch.

I see him swallowing hard, and his Adam's apple moves, my lips immediately go straight to his, and we kiss slowly.

"Thank you for saving me," I say after my lips let go of his.

He doesn't respond with words, he kisses my forehead as if trying to control his emotions.

I know he's not one to talk about feelings, I respect him. I don't need him to tell me anything, somehow, maybe through mate bond, I don't know, I feel exactly what he wants to say.

Suddenly, I remember that it was days ago that I was there in that hell, "Kaiden! The full moon!" I shout, widening my eyes at him.

"It was awful... Troy got feral," he responds, somehow seeming like he managed to control what he was feeling.

"I'm here now," I kiss him again on the lips, "I missed you two," I kiss his lips again, "you," I kiss his left cheek, "and Troy," I kiss his right cheek.

I smile at him, and he finally smiles at me.

Oh, Goddess, how I love them.

"Troy can't wait for you to get out of here and spend time with him," Kaiden says, shaking his head as if refusing to be the messenger of Troy's messages.

I laugh at him, and he suddenly becomes serious.

I stop laughing and look at him without understanding his sudden change, "What's wrong?"

He takes a deep breath before speaking, but, as always, he says at once without hesitation. "Chloe is dead," he informs me.

I already imagined it, but I was hoping I was wrong. I didn't heal her in time, "it's my fault," I say, putting my hands on my face, "I couldn't save her in time–"

"Stop!" Kaiden interrupts me with a serious face, "If anyone is guilty of this, I'm sure it's not you," he says firmly. "However, this issue can wait, I need to talk to you about something else."

"About what?" I ask; suddenly, my heart starts to feel tighter.

"Before she died, Chloe said that your scent had changed," he continues, only this time in a softer voice, or at least as soft as his male voice can make it, "you were pregnant."

I look at him for a few moments until I can understand everything he's saying. "I - What?"

Kaiden opens his mouth to speak, but another more important question comes out of my mouth before he can say anything, "Was I?"

My eyes fill with tears again, my hands start to sweat, and I feel like I'm suffocating.

"Calm down," Kaiden hugs me tighter and runs his hand on my back. "You still are, my little sun."

This time, he remains silent, giving me the time I need to understand my new reality.

Pregnant? What does he mean? How?

Well, I know how, but... What?!

I always wanted to be a mother, but I didn't expect it to be something so... sudden! I thought this would be something far in the future, when I was marked and after I finished my studies.

Not now. Not like that.

Oh my Goddess!

Memories of Kaiden talking about not wanting children invade my mind. His cold voice echoes over and over as if he's stabbing me repeatedly.

*"I don't want to be a father! When I win, that prophecy will never come true."*

He doesn't want to have children. How will we be from now on?

My body goes rigid under his embrace; he moves away from me, and I miss his warmth immediately. "However, you're very weak, you almost lost the baby, if you had stayed a little longer in that fucking place..." he doesn't finish, but I can understand.

I was in a precarious situation, without food or drink, I don't know how I survived!

My hands go to my flat belly, there's still no visible sign that I'm pregnant, but just knowing that somehow there's something in there... my eyes fill with tears again.

*You are so strong! I am so proud of you!* I think as if I were talking to my baby via mindlink while I stroke my belly.

When I wipe my tears, I see Kaiden staring at me, and I don't know what to say to him.

*"I don't want to be a father! When I win, that prophecy will never come true."*

"You need to take care of yourself," he says in a firm voice, and I swallow hard as I nod.

He seems thoughtful, and I want to know what's going on in his head, but I also don't want to impose anything on him.

Goddess, how difficult this is!

"What did you feel when you found out?" I ask him hesitantly.

*Happy*. Say happy, please.

"I don't know," he rubs behind his neck with his hand, I bite my lower lip to contain my disappointment.

"What about us from now on?" I ask and look away.

I'm not strong enough to hear him say he doesn't want the baby while he looks into my eyes.

"What do you mean?" he asks firmly. My eyes return to his blue eyes, as always so deep, enigmatic.

"You said... you said..." I can't say it, it hurts too much. "You said you didn't want to be a father..." I finally say all at once, looking into his eyes while still holding my hand on my belly, as if I were protecting the baby so the baby wouldn't hear Kaiden deny our baby without the baby even being born yet.

"I know, I said it," he responds as firmly as he commands anything, as if he wasn't talking about our baby.

I nod. Frankly, I don't know what else to say. "And... now?" I say, looking away from his penetrating gaze and looking at my hands on my belly.

"I don't want to share you... I don't want to lose you," he responds in a lower voice as if he were confessing something. I look at him and realize that he is the one looking away this time.

My hands hold his face so he can look at me, "You won't lose me. Never!" I tell him firmly, and then I smile.

"But-"

"But nothing," I interrupt him. "This baby will love you as much as I do," I say, looking into his eyes, "you'll be a great father, Kaiden, just like you're a great Alpha!"

His blue eyes look into mine back and forth, "you think so?" he asks, somehow he sounds so insecure and innocent, far from the Kaiden I know, and I feel the need to reassure him.

"I'm sure, babe," I kiss his lips.

He returns the kiss and then changes his face completely as if he has been convinced. "I mean, a few kids don't hurt."

I laugh and shake my head as he gives me a cocky smile. My hands leave his face and return to my belly, and he does the same, placing his calloused hands over mine.

Right now, I realize that I have never felt so at peace.

🐺 🐺 🐺

After we spend a few minutes cuddling up, kissing and Kaiden rubbing his hand on my belly, I feel so relaxed that I don't remember the last time I felt like this.

Even though my body is still hurting and has several wounds.

How I wish I could now have the super healing of everyone around me. And I can't use my gift on me.

However, my entire relaxed body becomes rigid when Kaiden's demeanour changes, and he brings up another subject that I had already forgotten. "Chad orchestrated this whole thing," he looks at me as if waiting for my reaction.

Frankly, I don't know what to think. I still can't believe Chad was capable of that.

"I will kill him!" Kaiden states with his jaw clenched.

"What?"

"I'm going to kill that fucker!"

"Kaiden! Wait!" He gets out of bed, and I miss his warmth immediately. My entire body, which was relaxed, now became rigid and alert again.

"There's nothing to wait for, he put your life and my heir's life at risk," he shouts at me, and my shoulders shrink at the way he's speaking.

"Please don't do anything to him," I beg.

"You've got to be fucking kidding me." Kaiden glares at me. "Are you going to defend him right now?"
