Pregnant With Four Alphas' Babies: A Reverse Harem Romance Chapter 73: Rose First and Forever

*Mark*

“What the fuck, you wh–” I start saying to the annoying female shifter form in front of me, but then I catch a glimpse of Rose slipping to the floor.

Eli is fast enough to catch her before she hits the ground. I shove Emily to the side, and she falls to the floor with a little scream. I know I didn’t push her that hard, and this is all her overacting. I actually wish I had put my back into shoving her.

“Oh, Marky. I think I hurt my ankle,” she cries after me as I rush toward Rose.

The other Alphas are right behind me. We all crouch beside her as she lies in Eli’s arms.

“Is she okay?” I ask Eli.

He raises his eyes to me. They seem to be shooting invisible arrows into my face. “Does she look okay?” he utters.

This is all my fault. I wanted to get information from Emily, but maybe there was a better way to do that.

“Did she hear what Emily said?” I ask.

“She’s pregnant, not deaf, bro,” Tristan spits sarcastically.

I run my fingers through my hair and just want to collapse beside her. I put the back of my hand in front of her nose. “She’s breathing,” I say, relieved.

“Yeah, I’ll carry her back to her room,” Eli offers and starts to lift her up.

“Please let me do that. I want to be with her,” I offer as I grab Eli’s arm.

Eli shifts Rose’s weight into my arms. I gently lift her, cradling her to my chest before standing up.

“Lift with your legs,” Tristan demands.

“Fuck off!” I growl at him.

He smirks but grabs my arm as I start to walk away. “Take care of her, bro. Make things all right, please.”

I nod and proceed toward Rose’s room.

“So none of you are going to carry me to my room?” I hear Emily ask as I walk away.

When I get into Rose’s room, I gently place her on the bed and cover her with a blanket. I take a chair and sit beside the bed, watching her. Stroking her hair, I stare at her gorgeous face. I love how radiant her face is looking due to the pregnancy.

“You are gorgeous,” I say, but I wonder if she can hear me. I inch my face closer to hers and kiss her forehead. “I love you.”

She stirs just a little, and my heart leaps as I wait for her eyes to open, but they don’t.

“The first time I saw you, my one question was, ‘Who is that girl?’ I’ve met lots of girls in my life, but something special about you drew me in. When I found out that you were the one who’d be carrying our children, I was overjoyed.

“When we raced in our wolf forms to have you first, I ran as though my life depended on it. It did, really, because I wanted to be with you your first time. Not just because you were a virgin, but because I wanted to personally make sure your first night would always be memorable, not some duty you were forced into, but an action to transform you into a woman. My woman. My life.”

I take a deep, shaky breath and look around the room. I find talking to myself a bit awkward, but this is the best time to pour out all these feelings I’ve kept bottled inside of me.

“Do you believe in love at first sight, baby? Well, I think I loved you from the very first moment I laid my eyes on you. From then on, I knew there could never be anyone else. I didn’t sleep with Emily, and I don’t want her. I only want you, now more than ever. I’ve just been afraid of hurting you or the babies; that’s why I stayed away. I knew that if I got close to you, I wouldn’t be able to keep myself from touching you. I also couldn’t admit to anyone that I, Alpha Mark, am afraid. I’m not good at displaying my weaknesses.”

Clear liquid trickles down my cheek, catching me off-guard. I swipe at it and chuckle.

“Speaking of a weak-ass man, look at this. I’ve never cried for a woman, you know? I just love you so fucking much it hurts and scares me. I would never want to hurt you. If I do, please know that wouldn’t be my intention. Emily had intel that I needed, and since she wouldn’t give me the intel she had, I played a role. The role only involved me spanking her, but that’s where it ended.”

I lean on her arm and allow the tears to flow freely. “Please be okay, baby. I’m sorry. I’m such an idiot and a fool, a fool in love with you.”

I feel more tears hitting the bedding underneath Rose’s arm.

“I’m glad you can’t see me crying. Who knew Alphas cry?” I whimper as I nestle my nose under her arm.

“Actually, I love a man who isn’t afraid to show his true emotions.”

I raise my head and see Rose looking at me as I lay my head beside her arm. I swipe away at my tears with urgency. I open my mouth to laugh, but what comes out is a mixture between a groan, yelp, and hoarse chuckle.

“I’m so glad you’re awake,” I exclaim with a voice so sharp I don’t even recognize it as my own. “I was just about to call the healer.”

“I’m okay, and I’ve been awake for most of your speech.” She smiles with a mischievous grin.

I run my palm over my face. “You heard all that?”

“Uh-huh!”

I feel my face warm. “I’m sorry about all the emotion.”

“Why are you sorry? I loved every word. And you actually look more handsome when you cry.”

“Oh, now I know that’s not true,” I say as I feel my face’s core temperature spike.

“Oh, yes you are. You really didn’t sleep with Emily?”

“I swear on my ugly tear-stained face I didn’t. I would never do that to you.”

“So you just spanked her? For some information of sorts?”

I nod, feeling guilty about even that. I should have looked for another way to gather my information. I am such a fool.

“Promise me that you’ll never compromise your integrity again,” she demands, her eyes searching mine.

“I promise,” I assure her.

She looks over my shoulder to an empty corner of the room. “Are you repulsed by me?”

I jerk my head back. “What? Why would you ever think that?”

Rose bites her lip and looks back into my eyes. “Why, then, have you refused to come to see me and spend time with me since I became pregnant?”

“Because I’m an idiot. I want you now more than ever. I was just scared, baby. I don’t want to hurt you or the babies.” Maybe she hadn’t heard that part of my speech, or maybe she needed to hear it again to believe it.

She smiles at me and inclines her head to the side, blinking and licking her lips; the action makes my dick twitch in my pants.

“I want you, Mark. You’ve been keeping me waiting for too long. Make love to me,” she says as if it was a direct command. “I want you to touch me again and ravish me, just like you did the first night we spent together.”

I don’t need more coaxing. I’ve missed her so bad. I stand up and take off my clothes. When I remove my pants, my manhood springs forward in her direction. It’s as though it knows where it belongs and is pulling me to her. Her eyes move to gaze at it, and she licks her lips.

“Stop doing that. I’ll come undone just by your stare.”

She giggles and sticks a pinky in her mouth. I step forward.

“Touch me, baby,” I say.

She obliges, and I quickly realize this was a bad move considering it’s been so long. Her warm touch makes the blood rush to my head, causing sparks to flash in my vision.

I get on the bed and lay beside her. She shifts her body to give me enough space. I balance my weight on one arm and bend down to kiss her neck. She pushes her chin up, exposing raw flesh. I nibble and suck at it, and I’m rewarded with a moan.

When I raise my head, she has a bright red mark on her neck. I smile at the hickey that seems to be darkening by the minute.

I run my hand from her shoulder down her body, pushing away the flimsy material that is keeping me from feeling and touching her skin. As my hand reaches her breasts. I gasp at how much fuller they feel. She has quickly turned from the shy girl I first lay with to this voluptuous woman lying next to me on the bed.

I lightly squeeze the mound of flesh and flick her nipple softly with my thumb. She gasps as

I move down until I am touching lace and I trace the hem of her panties and push them to the side. She grinds against me, and I groan, the sensation causing me to inch forward, wanting more.

Removing her panties completely, I ease myself inside her warm core. Her muscles envelope and welcome me. They tighten around my rod and encircle it with moist bliss. I rock forward, and she whines, her hips meeting my every thrust with such intensity that I’m fighting to hold on to my sanity.

Moving back ever-so-slightly, I allow the tip of my cock to circle the entrance of her core, probing, teasing. She inclines her head back, her moans begging for me to take her again.

I inch back forward, and she moves her hips to meet my hungry plunge, taking me all in at once. I feel her muscles tighten around me again. Her screams further assure me of her release.

I can feel her sweet walls vibrate against my hard flesh, and I let go, completely coming undone on top of her trembling body.
