Their Secret Obsession by Pippa Moon

Chapter 112: You Are Family!

Lottie POV

Sliding my fingers through Kane’s while Knox squeezed my other tightly, I smiled as I looked down at my mate’s hands, entwined with mine, offering me their protection and loyalty. I felt a lump form in my throat, wondering if, after tomorrow, I would ever feel THIS happy again. To have my mates by my side and our future growing inside me.

“I won’t let anything happen to you,” Knox whispered, his lips pressing to my temple as if sensing the gnawing fear that had taken root within me the fear of the unknown, of the challenges that awaited us as parents.

“The three of you,” Kane added, squeezing my hand. Nodding, I kept my eyes forward as we made our way up the stairs to the Alpha wing. I wasn’t ready to voice my thoughts on the revelation that I was not only pregnant but with twins. And not just because it meant I was going to balloon like a whale but because this morning, when Knox had teased his mother, saying I could already be pregnant, I had felt that sheer panic rush through me. I had no idea what it was to be a loving parent; it wasn’t like I had much experience in that department.

“You need to calm your thoughts if you plan to hide how you are feeling from our boys!” Sage advised as if coming from nowhere.

“Where have you been?” I seethed, wishing she had been there with me

earlier.

“I was with you, but Selene wanted you for herself.” Sage whimpered.

“Do you believe her?” I asked, referring to the pups I supposedly carried because I was doubting her intentions.

“I do.” Her only reply, but I could hear the conviction in her tone. The weight of uncertainty hung heavy in the air, casting a shadow over our every step.
