Through The Eyes Of My Alpha Chapter 64
Through the eyes of my alpha Chapter 64
RILEY. A heartbeat. I stayed still on my knees, holding her hips for a while longer, basking in the most beautiful sound I’ve heard in my entire life – the beating of two hearts, Nadia’s and our pup’s. WA Nadia wasn’t saying anything. She wasn’t holding me either. She was just standing with her hands on her sides.
But I understand, and I wasn’t complaining.
I slowly tilted my head and looked at her, and found her looking at me.
“You’re pregnant.
” O “We’re pregnant…” She corrected me before biting her lower lip.
A smile tugged on my mouth, loving the way she emphasized the word ‘we’.
“Is that the reason why you came back?
” I asked in a low voice.
She nodded her head before she spoke, “Can you stand up?
It’s so awkward looking at you kneeling there.
” Her hands held my arms as she urged me to move, and the sparks became more explosive.
Her touch made everything in my body come back to life.
I rose to my feet and just stared at her.
I wanted to touch her, but I didn’t want to be aggressive or cause her to move away from me.
I know I should be sad that the only reason she came back was that she was pregnant, but I didn’t give a fuck this time.
The important thing is that she’s here.
I could start from here and make up for fucking up everything we had.
“Uhmm…” I smiled at her.
I wanted her to speak because I didn’t want to say anything that would make her leave.
“I was wondering if the room I used before, at the far end of the hallway, is still available for me to use while I’m pregnant.
And then after I gave birth….
” “Are you leaving after you give birth?
Are you leaving the baby alone with me?
” My voice broke as my jaw tightened and my chest heaved.
I wasn’t sure if I could take it if she said yes.
“No, no…” She shook her head.
“I would never do that.
I will never abandon our baby or take the baby away from you.
” I let out the breath I was holding, and I couldn’t stop myself anymore this time.
I wrapped my arms around her and pulled her into my arms.
“Nadia… Thank you.
” “I was thinking, even if it doesn’t work between us, we can still both be there for our baby.
So after I give birth, maybe you can help me find a house nearby where I can live.
” It will work.
It has to work.
“No… please, stay here with me.
I will take care of you and our baby.
I promise I’ll be better.
Just one more chance.
” “You hurt me, Riley.
I don’t even know what I did wrong.
” “I’m sorry.
Let me make it up to you.
I will never do that again.
Jealousy just ate me and I thought, maybe…maybe…” “Maybe what?
” She placed her hands on my chest and pushed her body away from me.
“Maybe you didn’t really love me and were just using me, because… because I’m nothing special.
” Now, this reason sounded so fucking stupid to me.
.
“Nothing special?
” Her eyes narrowed at me as she placed her hands on her hips.
“You’re too big and powerful, and you’ve scared almost everyone, and you still think you’re nothing special?
Stop with your self-pity, Riley.
We’re having a baby soon and I want our baby to grow up idolizing his father, so you better step up your game.
If I don’t love you, I won’t give myself and my all to you.
You’re all I have.
If you keep throwing me away, I might snap and just jump off the bridge…” I shook my head and held her arms in my hands.
“I will not make the same mistake again.
I’ll be better this time around.
You will not regret giving me another chance.
I will be the best mate and father our baby will be proud of me.
I promise you that.
” She sighed and turned away, walking towards the door.
“I’ll think about it.
” “What do you mean?
” My brows frowned as I watched her before I followed her out of my office.
She was heading for the stairs.
“I’ll think about it if I should give you another chance.
For now, I just want to rest.
” “You’ll stay in our room.
” I nodded my head, slipping my hands into my pocket.
“No.
” “Yes.
” “I want to be sure you’re okay, especially at night.
Please let me be there for the baby.
” “Fine.
For the baby.
But I want the whole bed to myself.
”.
“Copied that.
” “And you can’t snore.
” “I’m not sure I can promise that one.
” “I don’t care.
You’re not allowed to snore.
” “Okay.
” I gave up.
I wouldn’t win over her.
I just had to make sure she was fast asleep before I went to sleep so she wouldn’t have to hear my snoring.
“Nadia…” My voice came out raspy.
“Yes?
” “Where are your things?
” I asked her, we’re almost to the fourth floor.
“In our room,” she answered nonchalantly.
“Do you have a problem with that?
”HA “No.
Of course not.
” I suppressed the smile that was slipping on my face.
I thought she wanted to use her old room, but then I didn’t tease her.
At least I knew she wanted to be in the same room as me.
“Have you seen a doctor for a checkup?
” I walked beside her, making my best not to brush against her skin.
“No.
I was hoping you would come with me.
I didn’t want to take that moment away from you.
My heart constricted, not from pain but from happiness.
I hurt her and yet she was still thinking of me.
I didn’t know this female could make me happier than she already did, even if she was acting a bit cold towards me.
“Thank you… You can rest, but if you’re okay, I will send a pack doctor to come here and check on you today.
” “Oh, you can do that?
Thank Goddess, I didn’t want to travel anymore today.
” “Yes, we can.
And I’m sure she will be happy to check her Luna.
” “She?
Are you close to this female?
” She stopped on the stairs and looked at me, one brow arched up.
I shook my head.
“I never been close to any female, I told you that.
” “Except Andrea.
” She let out a breath and smiled, but she took it back in an instant.
“I forgot.
Sometimes, I forget things.
” “Me too.
Sometimes, jealousy clouds my senses too.
” “Who said about jealousy?
” She gave me a frown before continuing on her way.
“Uhmm.
Me, I’m talking about me.
When I get jealous, I forget to think straight, so I say stupid things and make bad decisions.
” “Hmmm… Why didn’t you approach me when you were in Atlanta?
” “My Beta told you…” “He did.
And I told him, you’re an idiot.
” “I am.
” I chuckled.
“Sometimes I wonder why I love you when there’s nothing lovable about you.
” She said it like she was frustrated with me.
Maybe she was.
“Ouch, I didn’t know that would hurt.
” We were almost to our room when I slowed down and let her go ahead of me, but I grabbed her wrist and turned her around gently.
“But I’ll take it, so you still love me?
” I asked her, my brow arching up as my mouth slowly tugged into a smile.
Her eyes widened before she narrowed them at me.
“I do… But it doesn’t mean you’re off the hook.
” “I know.
But can you say it to me?
Sometimes a man needs to hear it.
” “Not today.
Besides, you didn’t even say it to me.
I don’t even know if you’re happy that I’m back…” I didn’t let her finish with her words.
I cupped her face and leaned my head down, staring into her hazel brown eyes.
“Nadia… I love you.
I fucking love you so much that I was losing my head for the last month that you were not here.
And I thought you were happy already without me.
But I promise you, I will do everything to make you and our baby happy.
Just don’t leave me again.
I’m not going to fuck up this time.
” She didn’t say anything, but she licked her lips and was staring back at me.
My eyes darted to her wet lips, and I wanted to kiss her, but I didn’t want to cross whatever boundary she had for us, for now.
“I will be a better mate, a better Alpha to you…” I added, my eyes still looking for confirmation from hers.
“I think this is the part where you’re supposed to kiss me… Or would you rather just stare…” Fuck!
She knew how to make me fucking giddy with her words.
I didn’t let her finish and crushed my lips against her, kissing her bruisingly hard, taking everything I could from her lips to make up for the days that she wasn’t beside me.
The sparks and tingles were fucking euphorias.
I didn’t know such a feeling like his existed until she came into my life.
And I was getting addicted to it.
NADIA.
“I’ll think about it,” I told him when he said he wanted another chance.
I would have said yes in an instant, but the Beta told me to hold my ground.
The big Alpha needed to learn his lesson, and I was doing my best to suppress all emotions I had for my mate.
I missed him, and I wanted nothing but to be wrapped up in his embrace.
But he needed to learn his lessons, not to make me feel like I was trash that could be thrown away anytime he felt insecure about himself.
And I thought I was doing well in holding my ground until he cupped my face and said those words I’ve been wanting to hear.
Our faces were so close and his minty breath was running against my skin, sending tingles everywhere in my body.
And I couldn’t stop my core from clenching this time.
I wanted him My eyes darted to his lips, and I suddenly felt thirsty.
“I think this is the part where you’re supposed to kiss me… or would you rather just stare…” I was not done with my words yet when his lips captured mine, and my arms immediately wrapped around his neck.
Shit!
I lost it.
Fuck what the Beta wants.
I wanted my mate.
I would just think of another way to make him learn his lessons.
I moaned against his soft and warm lips while kissing him feverishly, taking everything I could.
I missed his lips and the way he make me melt in his arms.
I felt his hand leave my face before it trailed down my arm and my side until it cupped my ass, pressing our bodies together.
“Nadía…” He withdrew his mouth from mine only to peck it with soft kisses.
“I miss you… I’m sorry… Can we… start again?
” He asked in between peppering my lips with kisses.
I raised my hand at the back of his head and pressed him closer as I crushed our lips together, not wanting a second away from him before I felt our bodies move and my back was pressed against the wall.
