I sat on the edge of our bed, nerves rushing through every part of my body, while Asher paced the floor in front of me before he looked down at me. In the whole time since we had officially become a couple, this was the first time I had felt so worried. I did not know how he would react when I told him the news, but now he was as nervous as I was.

"Are you sure you did the test right?” he asked, his voice wobbling a little.

"Can you do them wrong? You pee on it and wait, right?" I attempted to joke, but I genuinely didn't think I had done it wrong. I just hated the wait...

I had not felt right for a couple of weeks now, and had put it down to a virus going around school. It had not taken me long to go back to work after leaving the hospital after all the drama of the incident with Miles. And soon Asher and I had fallen into the routine of a couple, and I loved it. It was like we had always been together.

His late night working sessions were a thing of the past; he rushed out of work each day to come home to me, or would often come to meet me as I finished work, which always brightened my day. Fresh flowers would often await me, and chocolate was always stocked up too, which made me smile. Asher was far from the dark and moody guy I had first met and was always smiling now, and showering me with love and compliments, as well as the fun banter we had going on which always had me smiling, and amused Akira greatly.

But this feeling of constantly being tired, and persistent sickness had made me begin to feel a little suspicious, especially as it never seemed to ease. It had led me to buy a pregnancy test, which, admittedly, had sat in the bag on the shelf in the bathroom for a little while until I had found the courage

to do it. Terrified about what Asher might do if I was pregnant, as we had never actually planned for a baby just yet.

But, the moment he found the test,

he was as nervous as me, but he had an excitement about him that had melted my heart. But he wanted to do the test immediately the

moment he looked in the bag.ne

saw it. Patience clearly not h

not his

strongest point... Which meant we were going to be running a little late today...

"Bai, is it time to check it now?" Asher looked at me, his face full of expectation, and I glanced at my phone, nodding. He offered me his hand, pulling me up from the bed as I took it, and we walked over to the dressing table where the test now sat. Together we leaned over it, and my heart raced at the sight.

"There is nothing there." Asher whispered.

'Isn't he meant to be smart?' Akira giggled.

"I have to turn it over." I told him, realizing it was faced down. And as I did, there was no denying the answer, as the word 'pregnant' sat inside of the little screen.

Asher gasped in surprise, before wrapping his arms around me. “Oh Bai!" he snuggled his face into my neck. "We are having a baby!" his voice told me all I needed to know, as I felt every bit as overjoyed as he did.

There was a sudden knock at the door, telling me we were already late. "I bet that will be Marc and Morgan." Asher grumbled. "Marc already mindInked to say they were ready to leave."

Today was the day Ellis would officially become Alpha of the Lotus Shadow Pack, and we were all invited to join them, as were Eden and Caleb, as Alpha and Luna of a nearby pack, so, it was a day to visit family, as well as a day to celebrate.

Miles would not be there, so visiting my home pack was not so much of a chore now. Miles had long since been detained by the Werewolf Council, and was now awaiting a formal trial for his attempted murder of Harley, and for the murder of his former bride's boyfriend. They had said they would attempt to bring charges for the attempted kidnap of me too, but I held no hope of that one. But, it was expected he would be locked up for a long time to come, and when or more like, if he was released, he would have all ranks taken from him and be forced to join the Werewolf Council defense force army.
