Pregnant and Rejected by My Alpha Mate

Chapter 149

#Chapter 149- Defying the Doctor’s Orders

Selene

With every day that passes, the more worried I become that Bastien hasn’t called. I’m certain he’s alive. With our bond, I know I would feel it if he weren’t, no matter how far away he may be. Still, the continued radio silence is enough to make me fear any number of other tragedies. Is he hurt? Is he sick? Sitting in a dungeon somewhere?

Don’t jump to conclusions. Luna advises in a soothing tone. As far as we know, no news is good news.

I hate it when people say that. I reply silently, no news can be just as damning as bad news, especially when the person you’re worried about is literally facing death.

The worst part of all of this is that I know the others are worried too, but they aren’t telling me because they‘re worried I’ll fall to pieces.

I’m sick of being babied this way just because I’m pregnant. I mean, I know there are some things I probably don’t want to know, and I know I’m already under too much pressure and buckling beneath the weight of everything already on my shoulders, but shielding me from reality isn’t helping. Now I’m simply imagining a thousand horrible possibilities rather than coping with anything real.

“Mommy,” Lila begins, interrupting my thoughts.

“Yes lovey?” I prompt, pulling her into my lap.

“Will Daddy be home before da baby comes?” Apparently our minds were on the same wavelength. The sweet pup is looking up at me hopefully, expecting me to have all the answers even though I’m in the dark almost as much as she is.

“I hope so, angel.” I answer honestly. “I really do.”

“Can we call him?” She asks for the thousandth time. She’s asking less and less often, but she still asks far too frequently, and everytime she does my heart breaks a little more – for all three of us.

“You know his phone isn’t working right now, Lila. We’ve talked about this, remember?” I explain gently.

“I tought it might be better by now.” She pouts, fiddling with the stuffed elephant in her tiny hands. After thinking for a moment, she looks back up at me hopefully, and I know what she’s going to ask before the words leave her mouth. “Can you come home t’day?”

Another question that breaks my heart, and one I hear way too often.

Sighing heavily, I begin, “I wish I could sw-”
