His Nanny Mate By Eve Above Story

Chapter 174: Emergency Care

Moana

That night, I tried to fight the tears. But no matter how hard I fought and tried to keep my head up, I couldn’t entirely stop myself from crying just a little bit.

After all, I had just discovered that Edrick not only knew all along that I was his mate, but that he also still didn’t plan on ever being with me despite this. The thought of it made me feel incredibly sick, and I felt helpless. All I ever wanted was to give my baby the happy home life with two loving parents that I never got to have, and yet I had somehow managed to be the fated mate of someone who simply couldn’t even bear the thought of being with me. Was there something wrong with me? Was that why I had such bad luck in love?

My wolf, however, was surprisingly quiet throughout all of this. Even though she supposedly released her scent and that was what made Edrick “lose control” and kiss me passionately, I didn’t feel much from her. In fact, when I reached out and tried to talk to her for some guidance, she seemed different than usual.

“Mina?” I called out in my mind. Even though it had only been a short few months since I had discovered that I even had a wolf, talking to her telepathically was becoming more and more natural. I rarely ever accidentally spoke out loud, and it felt much less awkward now to talk to her in my mind. In fact, on occasion I even felt as though I could picture her whenever we talked.

“Hmm… Yes?” she responded. Her voice sounded like a distant echo. There was a sleepy, almost giddy quality to it. It almost sounded as though she had too much to drink, although that was just a silly thought.

It was a bit worrying to hear my wolf sounding like this, and I had noticed that she seemed to be acting a bit off lately. But I decided that it was likely just from the pregnancy, or maybe the stress of the incident with the Rogues. Either way, I thought for sure that it couldn’t be anything serious. I decided to let her rest that night; besides, I was getting tired as well. Even though I wanted Edrick by my side, I was still
