Mated to My Fiancé’s Alpha King Brother

Damien’s POV 1

The words hung in the air like a death sentence, each syllable hitting me with the force of a physical blow.

Two distinct life signatures. Two.

My legs gave out completely, and I gripped the edge of Sera’s hospital bed to keep from collapsing to the

floor. The room spun around me in nauseating circles as my brain tried to process what Dr. Whitmore had

just said.

“What the hell does that mean?” I managed to choke out, though somewhere deep in my chest, Alex was

already beginning to understand. My wolf’s excitement was building like a gathering storm, hope and fierce

protectiveness flooding through our bond so intensely it made my hands shake.

Dr. Whitmore’s ancient eyes opened. His weathered hands continued to hover over Sera’s still form,

trembling slightly with either age or the magnitude of what he was sensing.

“There’s a second heartbeat,” he whispered, his voice filled with awe that made the hair on the back of my

neck stand up. “Very faint, very new, but definitely present. Alpha… your mate is pregnant.”

The words hit me like a freight train.

Pregnant.

“How far along?” The question scraped my throat raw.

Dr. Whitmore closed his eyes again, his hands moving in slow, careful patterns over Sera’s abdomen. “Based

on the life force I’m sensing… perhaps six to seven weeks. The pregnancy is very early, but the child’s essence

is remarkably strong.”

“Is that why she won’t wake up?” Panic clawed at my chest as new fears crashed over me. “Is something

wrong with the pregnancy? Is that what’s causing the coma?”

“Not causing it, no” Dr. Whitmore’s voice carried the patient authority of someone who had delivered

impossible news to panicked families for decades. “But it’s definitely related. Your mate’s body is doing

something I’ve never seen before, Alpha, She’s channeling every ounce of her considerable life force into

protecting the developing child.”
