"You shouldn't be in here".

Wrapping me up in his arms he kissed the top of my head."I'll never stop you doing anything you want to do. I know it may not always come across that way but know it's because I care".

"I don't want to feel like I'm walkingon eggshells around you".

"Baby I-...".

"Your face gives you away". I turnedmy head so I could look at him.

"It's in my nature to be protective ofmy mate especially when you're earrying our pup. I'll never make any decisions for you, but I will never stop being protective of my family". His grip tightened."I shouldn't feel bad because I'mdoing something you don't like".

I didn't like the look that appeared on his face, eyebrows furrowed he brought his hand up cupping my cheek."I'm sorry for making you feel that way. I only ever want what's best for you".

"I know". My lips found his."Weshould get back before your parents think we've skipped out".

"We could if you want to". Hesmirked."Go get some ice cream". He kissed my left cheek."Stop for some snacks”. He kissed my right cheek. "Have an early night". He brushed hisnose against mine his hands resting just above my ass.

Our eyes connected my breath catching in my throat as his eyes flashed black.He was horny.

His breath fanned over my face as his hands slipped lower.

He squeezed.

"Jake". My voice barely a whisper lplaced my hands against his chest."We have to get back".

"I know". His lips found mine beforehe led me out the restroom and back to our table.

"Is everything okay?". Charlotteasked.

"We have something to tell you". Jakespoke.

My heart was racing, butterflies erupted in my stomach. I knew I had no reason to be nervous and yet I felt sick to my stomach. I also didn't miss thelook his parents shared.

"We have something to tell you bothalso". His dad added."Please, sit down".

Okay now I had a reason to be nervous.

We both took our seats waiting for his dad to continue.

"Jessica and her family won't bereturning to the pack. They were never returning but I want to be clear on something. I would never bring back anyone that disrespected and hurt my family. Orders have been given that if they trespass, they be taken out”.

Wow.

"I'd have taken her out regardless ofyour decision". Jake spoke.

I rolled my eyes. He couldn't just saythanks and be done with it.

"Watch your mouth you're not Alphajust yet son".

A laugh fell from Jakes lips as he shoved his dad's shoulder. "Any day now old man".

"Enough of the joking around".Charlotte sighed."Now what do you have to tell us?".

Jake grabbed my hand, the biggest, goofiest smile on his face.

My grin matched his asl nodded.

"Leah's pregnant".
