The Unexpected Wolf

He's my daddy!

It’s been two and a half months since Tucker found Christa. Tucker’s been amazing to me and Kayla. Helping me with anything and everything he can, including holding my hair back when I get bad morning sickness. Going to all of my doctors appointments and feeling Kayla’s first movements. Even though we haven’t told anyone I’m pregnant now you can tell. I’ve got a slight baby bump, am extremely hormonal and crave a ton of spicy food. Even though it’s obvious I’m pregnant I won’t tell anyone who the father of my child is.

School has been difficult, more so now that Christa has joined. I don’t mind, I know she’s his mate but every time I see Tucker and Christa together Addy starts whining in my head. I’m not trying to blow Tucker off by staying away from him during school hours. I just can’t take the pain of Addy whining all day.

“Addy please I know it hurts but please I can’t take this anymore. Between the hormones from pregnancy and you whining in my head about Trent you're giving me a headache.” I finally told her one day “Ash I’m sorry I just really miss Trent, ever since our one run you and Tucker haven’t let me and Trent have any time together. It feels like part of me is being kept away. Can you please ask Tucker if we could go for a run tonight so I can see Trent?” She asked, trying to keep the pain from her voice. “I’ll ask after this class if it will get you to stop whining in my head.” I shot back at her.

After the bell rang signaling the end of class I went on a hunt for Tucker. I found him and Christa talking by the Gym doors. He looked up and saw me so I signaled him to come over. As he walked towards me I headed towards any empty classroom. “What’s wrong is Kayla ok, do you need anything?” Tucker started in with a barrage of questions soon as the door was closed. “Tuck, me and Kayla’s fine. I was just wondering if tonight we could let Addy and Trent out for a run? Addy hasn’t been quiet in my head since you found Christa. She’s missing Trent, and whining about wanting to see him. I said. He chuckled, goddess I missed that laugh of his. “Yeah I know what you mean Trent is missing her as well. We’ll meet up at our tree say around seven tonight. Sounds good to you?” He asked. I gave him a big hug and said “Thank you, Thank you.”

Just as I was about to pull away from my hug with Tucker the door opened up. “Tucker, is everything alright? Why are you talking to the slut? Why is she hugging you?” Christa said rapidly. As she was saying this I felt like Addy was coming forward but boy was I wrong.

I felt myself being pushed back in my head. Then I heard a little voice saying “He’s my daddy, not your mate. You’re hurting my mommy. Stay away from my daddy.” Then I felt myself biting Tucker on his shoulder where his mark is supposed to go.

When I came back to my senses, Tucker had a puzzled look on his face. Addy felt very content and I had the taste of blood in my mouth. “What the hell just happened?” I asked, very confused. “You happened, you b***h, you marked him even though he isn’t yours.” Christa said fuming mad. “I...I didn’t, I swear it wasn’t me.” I stammered, shaking my head. “Hey you slut!! Go find your own mate, and leave mine alone. Oh yeah that’s right no one would want to mate with someone who’s having a baby with an unknown father. Christa sneered

I flinched at those words, and trying to pull Tucker out of the haze he was in. “Tuck, we need to talk alone!” I stated “You need to get the hell away from my mate and leave us alone. You think I don’t see the way you look at my mate with those googly eyes.” Christa sneered, pulling her arm up to slap me. I flinched, closing my eyes, putting my hands over my stomach to protect my baby and get ready to be hit. After a minute of waiting I opened my eyes to a wide eyed Christa.

“You need to leave.” Tucker said, holding Christa’s hand back to keep her from hitting me. “Tucker, she's trying to break us up. We’re mated together, but she just marked you. You can’t possibly be taking this sluts side over your own mates can you. Christa whined. “Tucker looked at her with a haze in his eyes then in an Alpha’s voice told her to leave. Making both of us wince then Christa looked at Ashlynn saying “you’ll be sorry!” Turned on her heel and stormed out the door.

“Tucker what in the f**k happened?” I yelled as soon as she left and it was just us. “I’m not sure but I think Kayla is getting stronger. Does it really hurt you to see me with Christa?” Tucker asked with tears in his eyes. “It hurts a little bit, why do you think I didn't come around you when we were at school?” I asked, looking away from Tucker. “I wish you would have told me Ash. You and Kayla are the two most important people in my life, I never wanted to hurt either of you. You need to start being honest with me.” Tucker told me, lifting my chin to look into his eyes.

Just as Tucker was about to say something else the door suddenly opened and Alpha Jones walked in followed by a seething Christa. “Alpha Jones, that's her, that's the girl who attacked my mate and marked him.” Christa whined to him. “Is this true,” Alpha Jones asked the pair standing in front of him. Tucker looked at the Alpha “Alpha Jones, something happened that I can’t explain.” Tucker told him

“Oh how can I help?” Alpha Jones asked, surprised. Tucker turned to me “Do you trust me?” He asked. “Of course I do what’s going on Tucker.” I replied more confused. “I’m gonna talk to Kayla and see if my theory is correct to show Alpha Jones what I’m talking about ok.” “Sure but I’m still not sure what happened myself.” I replied. “Just trust me ok I’ll explain the best way I can when this is done.” Tucker said, taking a deep breath.

“Kayla daddy’s talking to you, can you come back out and talk to me?” Tucker said in his normal voice. I looked around and seen the bewilderment on Christa’s face. The look on her face when it sat in that Tucker was my baby's daddy was priceless. I wish I had a camera. “I’m going to try something else, don't be scared,” Tucker said. I nodded my head not knowing what he was going to do.

“KAYLA ROSE RAYNE YOU TALK TO YOUR DAD WHEN HE’S TALKING TO YOU.” Tucker said in his new found Alpha voice. Instantly I had the same feeling of being pushed to the back of my head then heard a little girl's sweet voice. “Yes daddy I’m sorry I was scared.” Came the child’s voice. “I understand baby girl but can I ask why you did this?” Tucker asked her, pointing towards his shoulder. “I’m sorry daddy, I was feeling mommy and Addy’s pain every time they saw you with her.” She pointed towards Christa ``It hurt them so much daddy that it hurt me. So once I got strong enough to do something to make mommy feel better I did it. I didn’t mean to hurt you daddy.” “I’m sorry I hurt you, mommy and Addy. I promise not to do it again.” Kayla replied. “As long as you promise me to behave little one.” Tucker replied with the biggest grin on his face. “I promise daddy, I need to go.I can’t control mommy for long without taking up all my energy.” “You can go little one, don’t use everything you have, and Kayla? Tucker said “Yes daddy?” “I love you!” Tucker said with proud tears in his eyes. “I love you daddy!” With those four little words being said I felt myself coming back.

“Tucker was that…” I started but he interrupted “Yes that was Kayla she’s strong and so sweet, and guess what else.” “What Tuck you know I don’t like surprises.” I said

getting agitated. “She’s got Addy’s golden blue eyes.” Tucker said, his face glowing. For a minute I forgot about the other two people in the room I ran up and pulled Tucker into a tight hug.

Alpha Jones coughed a little to get our attention. “I think the four of us need to go somewhere a little more private, like my office.” “Yes Alpha.” Came from all three of us. The walk to Alpha Jones’ office was quiet

each of us lost in our own thoughts. As soon as we were in his office with the door shut Christa started in ....”Um what was that, why did she (Christa pointed to me) mark you and why did her eyes change colors?”

Alpha Jones ignored her questions, and turned to Tucker . “She marked you?” He asked him. “Yes Alpha, she marked me.” Tucker replied, his head hanging low. “Let me see it please,” Alpha Jones asked

Tucker slid the fabric from his shoulder to let Alpha Jones look at his fresh mark. “Hmmm, Interesting.” Came his reply then Tucker pulled his shirt back up.

“Um, can someone please answer me.” Came Christa’s annoying voice. Alpha Jones looked at Tucker. “Would you like to fill your mate in, or would you like me to?” Alpha Jones asked. “Would you please do it Alpha? I’m still trying to wrap my head around it. Tucker replied. “Very well.” He stated then motioned for everyone to sit down then looked at Christa and continued.

“That back there was a conversation between father and daughter. I take it you’ve heard by now that Ashlynn is pregnant, yes?” Christa nodded so Alpha Jones continued. “While you may be Tucker's mate, his wolf Trent is mated to Ashlynn’s wolf Adison. Over the summer their wolves mated and now they are expecting their daughter. In a way Tucker is her father and in a way he isn’t since his wolf is her father. This child it seems, is jealous and took control of her mother to claim her father.”

“Am I hitting the right words, you two?” Alpha Jones asked, looking at us. “Yes Alpha” we both said together. Christa looked lost for words but it was my turn to ask a question. “Alpha you wanted to look at his mark, is the mark different than it should be?” Alpha Jones laughed and stated “No child, I was curious about it once I heard the voice he used to call your daughter out, back in the classroom. It seems my time as Alpha has ended and Tucker’s is beginning. As soon as he said that I felt Kayla push forward again.

“Alpha Jones, I think you miss understand my father's mark.” came her tiny little voice. “Ah little Kayla, it's nice to meet you, I can tell you're a very special little wolf.” Alpha Jones stated. I felt my cheeks heat up meaning Kayla was blushing, but she continued. “Alpha Jones, my daddy isn’t supposed to take your pack just yet, yes I gave him an Alpha’s mark and he needs to give mommy a Luna’s mark. Once I’m born daddy will become the Alpha and my mommy Luna so that I have more protection.” “I see, is there anything else I need to know about, little one?” Alpha Jones asked. “There is but I need to rest once I get a little stronger I will come find you again. Until then Alpha. “She said, nodding her mommy’s head. “Likewise I’ll see you soon little princess, I can’t wait to meet you.” Alpha Jones said, nodding to her. Then I slowly came back.

“Excuse me a second,” I said, then looked at my belly. “Kayla I don’t mind you talking to daddy or Alpha Jones. Next time try and warn me before you take over though.” I felt a kick knowing my little girl understood exactly what I just said. Alpha Jones and Tucker busted out laughing and Christa looked pale.

“Tucker,” Christa said. Stopping the laughter. “Is this true? Is this child really your’s?” She asked with tears in her eyes. Tucker turned towards Christa, his head hanging low and replied “ yes, Kayla is my daughter. I’m so proud of her and honestly can’t wait till she’s born so I can meet her. I know this is a lot to take in but I promise I will explain everything to you.” At this Alpha Jones chipped in” Christa I know there is a lot you and Tucker have to talk about, but now your ride home is waiting for you and I need to talk to these two alone for just a little bit.” “Yes Alpha.” came Christa’s reply then she looked at Tucker “will I see you tomorrow?” She asked worriedly. “Yes you will” Tucker replied then walked her to the front door.
