One week later
Every morning, I’ve woken up and gone to the bathroom to throw up. Today is Saturday and I’ve gone to the pack doctor to see what’s wrong with me. Dr.Bennett was surprised to see me.
“I have a problem.”I said. She nodded for me to continue.
“I’ve been throwing up every morning and I’m having weird cravings.”I explained. She sniffed the air.
“Well your scent has certainly changed.”She patted the chair thingy and I took a seat.”Madeline, do you think it could be possible that you’re pregnant?”
I stared at her wide eyed.
“I don’t know.”I stuttered.”I mean Kyle and I had sex once but..”
“It takes one time to get pregnant but we don’t know for sure. You have to take the test.”She said and pulled out a box. She handed it to me and told me what to do. I nodded and went to the bathroom. I followed the instructions and waited. After 5 minutes, I picked up the stick and looked at it with wide eyes. I walked outside, into the office.
“I’m pregnant.”
“That’s great news.”She smiled.”How are you going to tell Alpha Kyle?”
“I don’t know.”

6:59
The clock read. In one minute Kyle would be coming home. I’ve spent the whole day crying and wondering. The bedroom door opened and I glanced at the clock.
7:00
“What wrong?”He asked, worried.I stood up and walked over to him. I was a foot away from him.
“I have something to tell you.”I sighed. He nodded and took a seat closer to me.
“Go on.”I took a shaky breath.
“I’m pregnant.”
He stood there shocked. I waited for him to say something. He broke out into a wide smile and pulled me into his arm. He kissed all over my face and hugged me tightly.
“I love you, Madeline.”He pulled me into a kiss. I kissed back as I felt him smile against my lips. Our lips moved in sync. My hands were tangled in his brown hair and I pulled him closer to me. We pulled away smiling.
“I love you too.”Tears came out of my eyes. He placed his thumb on my cheek and wiped away my tears, pulling me into another passionate kiss. Ever since that day, my life has been upside down.
Kyle has been alert and more protective over me and the baby. We go to the appointments every month. I’m two months pregnant and a tiny bump is starting to show. I haven’t seen my baby yet and I already love it. We have decided on some names but we could never agree on any of them. If it’s a boy, Kyle is naming the first name and I’m naming the middle name. If it’s a girl, I am naming the first naming and he is naming the middle name. My parents are a little upset that I’m pregnant at a really young age but they accepted it. The pack was so happy when they heard I’m pregnant and they have been protective. I have people with me every hour to keep me safe. Just because of this little baby. My baby.
“What are you thinking about?”Kyle asked as we stood in front of the mirror. He wrapped his hands around my waist and rubbed the bump. He would do this everyday. He seem to love the baby more than me.
“The baby.”I answered. I turned around and pecked his lips. He smiled and led me to the bed. It was 10:01 and we went to bed. I laid down and he laid down next to me expected he put his head on my stomach. He whispered something and kissed the bump.
The next day was normal. This time Kyle let me go to school. Just because I’m pregnant doesn’t mean I can’t go to school. I hummed as I took a shower. After my fifteen minute shower, I walked into our room. I changed into light washed jeans and a white floral tank top with some sandals.4
I walked into the bathroom and put a bit of mascara and eyeliner. I put on a pink tinted lip balm and walked out of the bathroom, seeing Kyle fully dressed. He smiled once he saw me and grabbed my hand. I picked up my bag and slung it over my shoulder.
We walked through the house, saying hi to some pack members. We got inside of the car and sped off. Not really. Kyle had to make sure I was in my seat perfectly and he drove so slow. He didn’t want to drive fast because he thinks he’ll crash with me and the baby. Once we were at school, he hopped out and opened my door like a gentleman. I smiled as he closed the door and grabbed my hand again. We got a few stares from people. Everyone heard that I was pregnant. Rumors started to spread.
“Madeline!”Grace hugged me, gently. I smiled and hugged her back. She looked at my stomach with a smile.
“How many months?”She asked.
“Two months.”Kyle pulled me close to him and kissed my forehead.Grace squealed.
“I think you guys should name the baby Mars. After it’s uncle.”Mars grinned. Kyle rolled his eyes.
“No. I think we should name the baby, Corbin.”He said. I hit his chest, lightly.
“We don’t know if it’s going to be a girl or boy.”I pointed out. The bell rung and everyone ran to there class.
“I’ll meet you in class.”Grace whispered and walked off with Mars. I looked up at Kyle. He had a serious look on.
“Make sure to stay with Grace and call me if anything happens.”He ordered. I nodded and walked away. He pulled me back and gave me a hug.
“I’m serious, Madeline. I don’t want anything to happen to you or the baby.”He whispered. I felt tears well.He was too sweet.
“Mm.”I hummed and wiped under my eyes. He pecked my lips and brought me to class. I took a seat next to Grace and the teacher began the lesson.
“Pop quiz. Take one and pass it back.”Mr.Smith announced. The class groaned and I was nervous. I waited until the quiz was passed back to me. I took one and passed it to the person behind me, not looking at them. I looked at quiz, biting my lip. I didn’t know any of this. I wasn’t good at History. I wrote my name on the top right hand corner and tried to answer some of the questions. After thirty minutes, the teacher came around and took the papers.
“You may have free time for the rest of the period while I grade these papers.”He said and the class cheered. I tapped my pencil on the desk as Grace gave me a worried glance. Thirty minutes passed and the bell rung. Everyone raced out of the classroom including me. I met Kyle by my locker. He smiled.
“How was the test?”He asked, putting his arm over my shoulder and pulling me close to him. I sighed and nuzzled my head into his chest.
“I probably failed.”
He frowned and rubbed my back, soothingly. We walked to gym which we had together. He walked my to the bleachers and I sat down.
“I’ll be right back, okay?”He kissed my forehead as I nodded. He ran to the boys locker room. A couple of girls came up to me. One of them was Daisy, who looked like the leader.
“Are you sure it’s Kyle’s?”She sneered. I rolled my eyes.
“It is Kyle’s. I’m not a slut like you.”I said. She took a step closer to me.
“I am not a slut. You stole my mate!”She yelled. I flinched at her loud voice. I stood up.
“When will you get it through you thick skull, I didn’t steal your mate. It’s not my fault your mate is a crazy stalker.”I hissed. She growled and grabbed my neck, squeezing it. I gasped and grabbed her hand, trying to remove it.
“It is your fault! He rejected me for you!”She shouted. She was pulled off of me and onto the floor. Kyle was there, growling at her. He grabbed her arm and pulled her up. She stood there in fear. His eyes changed to black as he glared at her. She whimpered as his grip tightened. I could see the he was on the verge of shifting.
“Kyle.”I said softly. His eyes snapped to mine.”Just let her go.”
He released her and she dropped to the floor.
“Leave now. Next time, you bother her I won’t hesitant to snap your neck.”He said calmly but his voice was still scary. She nodded and ran to the other side of the gym. Kyle held my chin, gently and looked at my neck.
“Is there a bruise?”I asked. He let got of my chin and nodded. I could see that he was trying to stay calm. I stood on my toes and kissed him. He responded immediately and held my waist. I pulled away and put my head in his chest, sighing.
