The Alpha King’s Human Mate

Bonus Chapter – Clark & Griffin (4)-3

The room cleared in moments, leaving me alone with my mate. Griff spent several more seconds sniffing my neck, his eyes closed like he was listening.

My anxiety only increased.

“Griffin,” I said firmly, “Tell me what’s wrong.”

His eyes opened, and I expected to see concern or worry, but he looked…happy?

One of his hands came to cup the back of my head and the other settled on my stomach. “Little fox,” he murmured, his voice full of emotion. He looked like he was on the verge of tears. “You’re pregnant.”

It felt as if every bit of air left my lungs all at once.

“What?”

“Your scent has changed. I could smell it the moment I pulled you into my arms.”

“You can…” My brain felt like it was full of white noise, one word playing on repeat: pregnant. Baby. Mini–Clark or mini–Griffin.

I stared down at my belly as if I might suddenly see little hands or feet poking out, but there was nothing.

Not even a bump to indicate the life that Griffin was sure I was growing inside me.
