Chapter Alpha’s Moon: Epilogue
Sadie
No one gives head like a werewolf. My throat is hoarse from screaming when I roll over to answer my buzzing phone. My mate keeps me more satisfied than I could have ever imagined. He put a ring on my finger, too. Even though the mating bite is all that matters to wolves, he understands that humans have their own traditions. I told him it didn’t matter to me, but Deke insisted I get everything I dreamed of.
He reaches past me to snatch up my phone, immediately alert.
“It’s Charlie.” He hands it to me.
“Hello?” I rasp, swallowing a few times.
“Sadie?”
I climb out of bed. “Charlie—how have you been, girl? I haven’t seen you around.”
“I’ve been…busy. But—”
“Are you crying?”
“What? No. Of course not.”
“You don’t sound okay.”
“Yeah, I need to talk,” Charlie chokes.
“Okay.”
“I have a teeny tiny problem. You know Deke’s friend—the hot blond one?”
“You mean Lance?” I wrinkle my nose. I suppose Lance is hot, but I don’t think of him that way.
“The one who looks like he could front a boy band,” Charlie says drily.
“He’s a bit more buff than that.”
“Okay, then, a Baywatch remake.”
“I’ll give you that. Lance does have a surfer-dude vibe going on. What about him?”
“We might have hooked up.”
“Oh. Oh my. You and him?”
“Yeah. I know. It was on a whim.”
“Good for you. I mean, it was good right?”
“Better than good.”
“I’m glad. So what’s the problem?”
Charlie heaves a sigh, which sounds like a gale wind over the phone. “It was supposed to be a one-time thing.”
“Okay.”
“Even though we really were great together.”
“Okay…”
“And now I have a problem.” She pauses, and I bite my tongue before I demand her to just spit it out.
“I’m pregnant.”
