Pregnant and Rejected by My Alpha Mate

Chapter 117

#Chapter 117 – Travel Plans

Selene

Bastien is watching me when I wake up. Propped on his elbow and tracing patterns across my bare belly with a goofy grin on his face. Shivering in the cool morning air, and less than amused to have my covers stolen from me, I roll towards my mate, “Bastien I’m cold.” I whine.

“I’m sorry little wolf,” He chuckles, snuggling me close, “I couldn’t help myself.” “You know it’s very creepy to watch someone sleep.” I grumble sleepily.

“I’m the Alpha, I can do whatever I want.” He counters smugly,”even if it’s creepy.”

Breathing in his familiar scent, I try to calm my stomach. Suddenly my late night snack is seeming like a very bad mistake. My insides are roiling with sour acid, and I can feel my gorge rising in my throat. For a moment, I think I might be able to ease the sickness, but I quickly realize it is not hope. Rolling out of Bastien’s arms, I dart for the bathroom, my hand clasped over my mouth.

I can hear Bastien following on my heel, and though I try to close the door behind me, he forces his way through anyway. Slamming the toilet seat up and miserably emptying my stomach into the porcelain bowl, I drop to my knees on the cold tiles. My mate’s large, warm hands pull my hair back from my face and rub up and down my back. Bastien makes soothing, sympathetic noises, and as much as I appreciate his affection, I can’t help but think he’s going to have to get used to this.

Closing the lid and resting my forehead on my arm, I glance up at the concerned wolf, “This is nothing.” I moan. “Just wait.”

“Poor baby.” Bastien croons, stroking my hair. “Is there anything I can do to help?”

“Just keep doing that.” I murmur pitifully.

“We need to get you in to see a doctor.” He muses, surely they can prescribe you something.”

I nod, “I’ll make an appointment.”

In the distance I hear Lila calling me, and Bastien’s lips graze my temple, “I’ll go.” He assures me, “Do you think you can stomach any breakfast?”
