The King's Heir

Chapter 11

Aldren

I try to mind link Reid but he doesn't respond. My shoulders shook. Whatever was in the drink was only affecting my human part and not my wolf. Osc was alert but he is calm, not flapping his ears or wagging his tail. Just calm. 'Are you sleeping?.' I asked but Osc doesn't respond. It's unlike him. He retorts instantly.

'Osc...buddy...why are you so calm? Say something' I tried again.

'Hey, you there?'

'Osc, what is happening?' No response.

I trip on my own feet. I had a bad feeling about this.

I try to steady myself and walk out of the room, and I see Reid is nowhere in sight, and Blake is busy with a girl on his lap. Jackson is talking to Laura whose eyes are on me now. Brandon and Ethan are playing... ping pong! And Stacy is earnestly waiting for me. I groan inwardly.

I walked towards our table, and Stacy stood, handing me a glass of whiskey.

"You took a long time." She said batting her eyelashes. I took the drink and gulped it in one shot. "I am here to relax," I slurred.

"Then, let me help you relax," she said kissing the side of my neck while tracing my arm with her fingers. I wanted to moan, but I bit back. I pushed her back "This is not right", I paused "Find me, Reid", I said.

I took a seat at the nearest vacant chair. I grabbed the bottle of whiskey and drank from it.

"Careful there," she says as she tries to take the bottle away from me, but my hold is strong. She leaves the bottle and sits on my lap. Slowly, she starts grinding. I hold her arm, stopping her action, "What are you doing?" I ask my voice barely a whisper, my eyes too heavy. I am trying to clear my eyes and mind. She leans forward, captures my lips, and kisses me deeply. I kiss back fervently. We were breathless after a few seconds; her hands started moving all over my body and stopped at my groin. She started massaging it over my pants. I groaned.

I tilted her head, kissed her again, and bit her lip, drawing blood. She gasped, and I pushed my tongue, tasting every corner of her mouth. By this time my mind was foggy. My body was not in control.

I picked her up in bridal style and without wasting time, I dashed into one of the rooms. Thank the goddess, the VIP area of the pub had rooms. People could enjoy and pay for it.

When I threw her on the bed, I hastily removed my pants first and groaned. Then I started to unbutton my shirt. With my fumbling hands, I couldn't unbutton them fast; I heard a chuckle. I gritted my teeth and took off my shirt, and hovered over the figure lying beneath me. I pulled the drawer of the side table to pull out a condom. The stupid drawer was stuck; I tried to open it, but the side table, along with the bed, started to shake. I huffed, and I tried one last time before the heaviness in my eyes consumed me, and I fell into a deep slumber.

After the office, Brianna and I left for the hospital. It was the 3rd day after my IVF, and our doctor's visit was scheduled. These two days, Bri hasn't allowed me to do anything. She was my chef, my server and my maid. She even got me a bath and scrubbed my back. She took the doctor's every word seriously. She had made a makeshift backrest with pillows while we watched movies in our living room, so I could stretch my legs comfortably. It was really funny.

We parked the car and walked out of it towards the entrance of the hospital when Brianna asked

"Can you walk? Shall I pick you like... bridal style?" I laughed and punched her arm.

" Ouch! What was that for?" she asked, rubbing her arm.

"I am good, silly," I said, and she clung to my arm.

"Are you excited?"

"Very. I can already feel something." I giggled.

"What? Isn't it too early?"

"Not that Bri...I...I just feel positive."

"Hmm...Hope the results are positive too," she said, crossing her fingers.

'I hope so,' I thought. We reached the doctor's room. And we were waiting for the doctor. After two more patients, our turn came. We walked in, greeting Dr Lancaster. He was my doctor in charge after the procedure. We greeted each other as we took our seats. He is quite old, maybe in his late 50s. He examined my reports.

"So it's your third day. I see," he says, and I mumbled "yes".

"It's too early to detect the pregnancy via urine test but blood test can help." He closes the report and looks at me.

"Ms Stevens, let's do a blood test and see where we are. From the blood report, we get to know whether the egg is fertilised. We can proceed based on that." He called up a nurse and instructed her to draw the blood. He scribbled something on the report and handed it over to her.

"The nurse will coordinate with you regarding the test report. Please follow her to the lab. See you soon Ms. Stevens. Good luck." He says as the nurse asks me to follow her. I feel a bit disappointed because there was no way to know the result instantly.

We both followed the nurse to the lab and she asked us to wait as a queue was already waiting. Later, she drew my blood and repeated the same words as the doctor had told me.

We drive back to our home in silence. Bri tries to cheer up my mood by making lame jokes and it works. We freshened up, prepared a light supper, and watched TV while having it.

After some time, I heard light snores from my left, and I turned to see that Bri had fallen asleep. She must be tired, doing all the work and running around me.

I heard my phone go off; I slowly crawled to the table near the TV and picked up the call. I glanced back at Bri to make sure that she was still asleep before greeting the caller.

"Am I speaking to Ms Stevens?" the lady asks, and I reply, "Yes, you're".

"Ma'am, this is Lily Myers from Lifeline Hospital. The test reports are available, and they are positive. Congratulations, you are pregnant," she says.

"What?" I ask in a bit higher tone, unable to believe my ears. Meantime, I hear the shuffling, and Brianna stands in my line of vision, asking, 'What happened?' I gestured to her holding my index finger up, mouthing '1 minute', and she waited as I listened to the lady on the other line.

"You can collect the report on your next visit and that would be in 15 days from today. I will book an appointment for the same. Good night, Ms Stevens; take care." she says and hangs up the call.

I looked back at Brianna, and she understood immediately; we both held hands and squealed, 'We are pregnant', and jumped like crazy before we realised and stopped our madness.
