The White Wolf Series Book 4 – CHAPTER FOUR – Our Child

Drake & Amy (Amy’s POV)

“We should make another one,” my mate said, looking down at our little boy.

He was the surprise of a lifetime because we thought that he was a girl up until I gave birth to him a few hours ago.

He was carrying him around, refusing to put him in his crib. I enjoyed watching him with our pup, and if the birthing pain weren’t still fresh in my mind, I would have him put another pup in me right now.

“Sure,” I said, smirking a little. “Will you be the one to give birth to the next one?”

Drake looked up at me and smiled.

“I would if I could,” he said. “But I can’t, so you will have to.”

I chuckled and shook my head.

“I want a girl,” Drake said, looking back down at our baby. “I was preparing myself to be a girl dad. I don’t want that to go to waste.”

I laughed quietly. Drake wasn’t kidding. He was so excited to have a little girl.

“We can revisit the subject after I forget the pain,” I said, making him look up at me.

He approached my bed and bent down to k*iss my forehead. “I am so sorry, princess,” he said. “If I could, I would take all of your pain away.”

I looked up at him and smiled.

“I know,” I said softly.

He placed a small k*iss on my l*ips, making me greedy for more.

“How about you put our pup in his crib and come lay next to your mate for a while?” I asked, grinning at him.

“You don’t have to ask me twice,” he said, walking toward the crib.

He placed a soft k*iss on our pup’s cheek and put him down.

He walked back to me, and I made room for him in my bed. He laid next to me and pulled me into his arms.

I sighed contently. The pain lessened as soon as I was in his arms. “Thank you for making me the happiest man alive,” he mumbled as he tilted my head up.

I smiled and pressed my l*ips against his.

“What are we going to name him?” I asked, chuckling.

We wanted to name our baby girl Halley, but that was obviously not happening anymore.

“How about Hayden?” Drake asked.

He placed a small k*iss on the tip of my nose. I smiled and pressed my b*dy closer to his.

“I like it,” I said. “Alpha Hayden.”

Drake smiled and pressed his l*ips against mine.

“What did I do to deserve you?” he mumbled as he took a deep breath. “Your soil had a fungus, and your agronomists couldn’t figure it out,” I answered, making him laugh.

“Thank Goddess for that fungus,” he said. “I don’t know what I would have done without it.”

“You would probably still be drooling after Emma,” I said, smirking. His eyes widened. I chuckled.

“I never loved her,” he mumbled, and I could hear the fear in his voice. “I was in love with the idea of her.”

I smiled and caressed his cheek.

“I know,” I said.

“I didn’t think you knew,” he mumbled quietly.

I smirked and nodded.

“She is my best friend,” I said. “Of course I knew.”

Drake g*roaned and leaned his forehead against mine.

“F*uck,” he mumbled. “I never loved her, Amy. I never loved anyone the way I love you. I never wanted her the way I wanted you. She was just an idea I fell in love with. She is made for Logan the same way you are made for me.”

I chuckled and tangled my f*ingers into his hair. I pulled his head up so I could look into his eyes.

“I know that,” I said. “You don’t have to worry.”

Drake sighed and caressed my cheek.

“Do you know when I realized that I wanted you?” he asked me.

I smiled and nodded.

“I was slowly falling in love with you while you were here helping with our soil issue,” he said. “I didn’t realize it, though. Not until I saw you at that Alpha gathering at Logan’s pack.”

He placed a small k*iss on my l*ips before he continued.

“I was staring at Emma, and Josh kept telling me to stop it because she was a married woman,” he said, chuckling. “I realized that I wasn’t staring at her because I wanted her but because I wanted a mate. I wanted that kind of love she and Logan had.”

He placed a small k*iss on my cheek, making me smile.

“And then you came to talk to me,” he mumbled. “My whole world lit up in a second. I remember thinking how beautiful and smart you are.”

“Yes, I am,” I said, making him chuckle.

“But then you started talking to that guy, and I was pissed off,” he sighed, rolling his eyes. “I knew that I couldn’t let anything happen between the two of you. I knew that I had to do something before someone else took you from me.”

I smiled and pulled him in for another k*iss. “I am so happy that you stopped me from going out with that guy,” I said as I stopped k*issing him. “I had the biggest crush on you, but I would have never admitted it.”

He furrowed his eyebrows.

“Why not?” he asked.

I sighed and caressed his cheek. 

“I thought that I wouldn’t be good enough for an Alpha,” I said quietly. “I thought that I wouldn’t be good enough for you.”

Drake sighed and pulled me into a hug.

“It’s the other way around,” he said. “I am the one who is not good enough for you, princess.”

I slapped his arm playfully.

“Stop saying that,” I said. “You are the best thing that has ever happened to me.”

He chuckled and k*issed the top of my head.

“I love you so much, princess,” he said.

“I love you too, my Alpha,” I said, smiling contently.

Our son started crying, making us chuckle.

“I got him,” Drake said as he let me go and stood up.
