Skye's POV
It has been two hours since I woke up and still I have not said a word.
How could I be pregnant?
My wolf told me who the father was and told me to be strong. I thought having a mate is all I would have to worry about, but now there is a child on the way.
I stared out my window, it was already morning and no one knew where Elijah had gone.
Eric stayed with me the whole time while Elijah was gone.
Will Elijah leave me for good?
I still hated him for kissing Ashly, but that does not change the fact that he is my mate and I still want and love him.
The thought brought tears to my eyes. I love my mate and I need him now more than ever.
Eric saw my shoulders shake slightly and kissed my forehead. It calmed me slightly, but only my mate would be able to completely calm me and love me.
"Skye, you have nothing to worry about." Eric's voice sounded strained.
"What if he doesn't want me?" I asked, my voice betraying me. I am scared and if Elijah decides to reject me, I would be broken.
"Elijah might not be the perfect mate, but he is a good guy and he will do right by you." Eric said and smiled. "He just needs to cool down for a bit. Knowing him, he is most likely blaming himself."
I simply nodded.
After a few minutes I decided that I needed to get out of the house.
"Eric, I know I am pregnant and all that but can you leave me alone for a bit. I want to shower and get dressed." I said, not really wanting to be alone but needing it.
"Okay, just call if you need anything." He said as he got up and headed to the door.
As soon as the door closed behind him, I got up and headed to the bathroom to shower.
After a long and relaxing shower I put on jeans and a blue top. I tied my hair in a ponytail and put on my running shoes.
Thinking for myself, is best done while I am running.
As soon as I got out of the house I ran and just kept on running, blocking out everything. I didn’t care about where I was going.
I figured it out. My wolf told me. Eric is the father of my child. Eric is Elijah's cousin. Eric is a good guy, but having a child with someone that is not your mate is not right.
I stopped running and started to cry.
I felt arms wrap around me and the familiar scent of my mate calmed me.
"I am so sorry," I cried and held onto him for dear life.
Elijah lifted my head so that I could look at him. "We are going to work through this. I love you."
I smiled and pulled his head down to mine, so that our lips were just about touching. "I love you so much." I said and kissed him.
The kiss was the most ardent one we had ever shared. The moment could not have been any more perfect. I could feel exactly how our kiss was making him feel.
I pulled away from him. "Take me home," I said a little breathless.
I did not forget about him kissing Ashly, but I forgave him. I love him, more than I have thought possible.
Elijah picked me up and ran to the pack house. My legs wrapped around his waist and I was kissing his neck and chin. The man was definitely focused, even though he moaned whenever I bit his lip and he kept on groaning as he was running, I was surprised he did not trip or run into anything.
Elijah's POV
Skye was asleep in my arms.
I would have marked and mated with her right there when she kissed me near the lake. I wanted her more than ever before.
Eric smirked when he saw us run in, but then he looked as though someone took something from him. I ignored it and just about made it to my room. I gently put Skye down on the bed as we kissed.
"I want to mark you and make you mine forever." I said it felt more like I was begging her for permission than telling her what I was going to do.
"Then do it, because I want everyone to know I belong to you."
I kissed the side of her neck, where my mark would go. "And I belong to you." I said and marked her, biting her neck where my mark belonged. She bit me too and everything felt incredible.
After that we mated and were going at it for hours. My mate surely is incredible.
Now with the moonlight highlighting my mate’s features in the dark, I knew I would do whatever it takes to keep her safe. Even though she is pregnant with another’s child, she will always belong to me.
I fell asleep with that thought in mind.
The next morning I woke up alone in bed, I looked around for Skye, but could not see her. I got out of bed and looked for something to wear.
Just then Skye walked in with a tray. She frowned when she saw me standing. "You know, you can't have breakfast in bed if you are not in bed." She said, but then licked her lips as she looked at me from head to toe.
I looked down and saw that I was still naked. I got back into bed slowly and watched her as she made her way towards me. She was only wearing one of my t-shirts that just about covered everything; I smirked when I knew that if she bent over just a little I would be able to see her delectable ass.
I sat up in bed and she put the tray on my lap.
She fed me the pancakes she made. She would let syrup drip on me and then would lick it up afterwards. It sent shivers down my spine each time she did that. She knew exactly what she was doing.
Damn my mate is hot!
After breakfast we showered together and went down to the living room.
Eric was sitting there just watching the sports channel. Skye pulled me with her so that we were standing in front of Eric.
"Morning, you two got up late." Eric commented. He was looking only at Skye.
He saw the mark on Skye's neck and growled. He got up from the couch and his eyes went completely black.
"Calm down, you must listen to me." Skye said, now that we have mated the power behind her words felt stronger than what they had before, which meant hers was probably the strongest Alpha voice in the world.
Eric's eyes turned back to normal.
"Eric, you are the father, I know you feel the bond." Skye said, she had tears in her eyes but carried on speaking. "This is going to be a challenge for all of us. I need to know if you are going to be a father to this child or never let this child know you are his father?" Skye asked.
I wanted to add my input, but Skye was handling it.
"Skye, I want to find my mate." Eric said he looked torn and unsure if he said the right thing.
"Eric, go find your mate. You can decide if you want to be a part of this child's life. Pack your bags and I will inform the other packs that you will be going through their packs." I said, knowing full well. That he will need his mate to help him.
Eric nodded and gave me a hug. "Thanks man." He turned towards Skye, "I am sorry I cannot give you an answer now."
Skye just smiled at him and gave him a hug and kiss on the cheek. "Just promise me you will come back when you find her."
Eric nodded his head and ran upstairs to pack his bags.
I wanted to be happy, but I now felt what Skye felt. It hurt her to let him go. The bond between her child and Eric is strong and it will always affect her.
