After the meeting is over and Sinclair and I are safely in the privacy of our bedroom, I start to remove my dress. _ _ _ As soon as the delicate fabric is wrapped around my feet , my ninjanovel.com mate walks up behind me , sliding his arms around my bare waist . ” I can’t decide what I’m most proud of. ” He growls in my ear, “Watching you put all those Alphas in their place over the humans, or watching you go after James like that. ”
I lean against him with a satisfied sigh, turning my head so I can rest my boch*cha against his hard chest. “I don’t like people criticizing you when all you’ve done is serve and sacrifice for your people. ”
He purrs, dropping his lips to the crook of my neck, “Leaders who can’t take and accept criticism are worthless, little wolf. ” _

‘ I don’t mind . I sniffle, resting my hands over his where they rest on my stomach. The baby is sleeping, but her heartbeat is strong and regular. “You don’t deserve to be treated that way. ” _
He laughs, “Your wolf is really pissed off, isn’t she? ” _
“Can you blame her? ” I answer harshly . “After you’ve been gone for so long and then all these cold- hearted alphas and attacks? That would ninjanovel.com content drive anyone to the edge of the abyss. ”
Sinclair kisses my shoulder as his wolf tries to appease my cantankerous canine in our shared mind space, lavishing her with snouts and kisses. __” Such a feisty fellow. ” He raves, “Your spirit has always been one of my favorite things about you, but it’s not good for the baby that you get so excited. __ I can’t let you avenge my honor if it means putting stress on your body and the baby. ”
“Well, I don’t want to stress Rafe either. ” I reply, feeling my mood shift abruptly, leaving me feeling guilty and dejected. Tears

Sinclair goes very still, and then I’m being turned around, his strong hands guiding my body to mirror his. He takes my face in his huge hands, and I bite my bottom lip, not wanting to look him in the eye. I don’t think I can bare to see his disappointment right now. “Look at me, little wolf. he instructs firmly, and my gaze jumps up reflexively – even though it’s blurred with tears. “Now listen to me very carefully. Sinclair continues, gentle but stern. “You are not weak. You are performing a miracle in the midst of the apocalypse. _”
I sniff pitifully, and their purrs renew. “You need to give yourself a little grace, honey. I know this is easier said than done, but I’m not going to take that kind of talk. Sinclair declares fiercely, his deep voice filled with emotion. ‘You are incredible . You are the strongest wolf I have ever known and this pup is very lucky to have you as a mother. Not to mention I’m the luckiest man in the world to be able to call you my mate. _ _ _ ”
“But I can’t even keep our baby safe and he’s not even born yet. I counter, feeling myself start to spiral despite his love and reassurance.

‘ You too . Sinclair responds. _” We overcame our struggles independently, because we had no other choice. We didn’t know what the future would hold for us, and so
