Hiding the Alpha’s Heir

Chapter 78: Hormones’ Fault



I felt Hazel’s presence when she settled beside me after the morning meal. Our pups were playing in Luna’s Garden while Desmond and Harvey had to settle in the northern borders. “They are looking great, right?” she said in a whisper. I didn’t answer her when she looked at my stomach growing. “Congratulations, Luna.” Her tone sounded like she really didn’t want to congratulate me.

“Thanks.” I sounded like I also didn’t want to say that.

“You see…” I glanced at her. “You should have not returned. You ruined my plans for my twins. I have been trying so hard to coax Alpha Desmond to accept them but you ruined everything.” She smiled bitterly.

This bitch…

“How did I ruin everything? Shouldn’t you suppose to thank me because if I did not speak with Desmond, until now, you wouldn’t even dare to meet your twins with him?” How dare this bitch accuse me of something that I did not do?

Hazel snorted. “Alpha Desmond is better off with you.”

“Says who? You?” I smirked. “Desmond chose me, not you, Hazel. You might have slept with him but remember his purpose and why he did that. It is because he was worried about my welfare of not getting pregnant with our pup. Who would have thought that I would ever get pregnant even though Anderson told Desmond that I was infertile? How ironic, is it?” I couldn’t help myself feeling my blood boil just by conversing with her again.

Hazel and I had never been on the same page even before. She already disagreed that I would be staying in Desmond’s pack when I was captured by his people. It turned out I was his mate.

I knew from a long time ago that Hazel liked Desmond but he never paid attention to her until the time he wanted her to be the surrogate mother.

“You better off dead.” I heard her say before she looked at her twins. “Harolyn, Hezekiah, let’s go.”

The twins looked disappointed. “But we are still playing with Brother Sander, Mother,” Hezekiah said with a frown.

“Let’s go,” Hazel said through gritted teeth.

“They are still enjoying playing with Sander, Hazel. Why are you-”

“Did I even ask you?” Hazel raised her tone at me. “Harolyn! Hezekiah!”

I didn’t react when her twins were frightened of her. They looked at Sander with a melancholy expression before they followed their mother who had already left.

“Mama, Hazel is frightening them.”

“I know, baby.” I hugged him. “You should go now to the library. Your mentor will arrive any moment now.” Sander nodded and kissed my cheek before he left.

I decided to go to the nursery room which Desmond finished renovating and designing. I couldn’t help smiling and seeing the cradle settle in the corner.

I also remembered Desmond bestowed me a sewing room where I already made some baby clothes for my baby pup.

I went on my way there but I happened to make it past his chamber. I smelled his scent there and my baby pup and I wanted to go there.

I couldn’t help myself going there and went to his bed, smelling more of him. I didn’t know if Desmond noticed me secretly coming here but he never confronted me. But I think he knew it just as how he confronted me when we were in the vacation house.

Just by smelling his scent in his bed, I couldn’t help myself thinking some carnal thoughts. Ever since I got pregnant, my arousal heightened which was why I stayed here and then left before Desmond came back.

I buried my face in his pillow. I slept beside him and I tried so hard not to inhale him so much. His smell made me remember how we made love so many times in this very bed.

How I wished I could still feel him again inside me…

I pressed my thighs together, closing my eyes as I thought about Desmond and me making love and how he would call me his slut. It was such a turn on.

“Desmond…” I moaned when I reached for my clit and massaged my breast.

Desmond would be gone for how many days this week. He had to go to the royal palace so I would even have more chances to be here.

When Desmond had finished packing up his things, he locked himself in his study room to finish some of the duties that needed to be paid attention to as soon as possible. I was worried for his welfare because of the rogues that made him alert more than ever.

I asked Sander if he should go to sleep when he bid him a good night since Desmond would have to leave at dawn. I brought Desmond a tea in his study room when he ordered Elron to bring him one.

“Seraphina?” He looked surprised when I came in and bestowed him his tea. “Aren’t you supposed to sleep already?” he asked while he was fixing his spectacles.

“I can’t sleep. And… I want to see you actually,” I said shyly.

Desmond looked surprised at my words before he smiled. “Is this the time around that you are craving to see my face?” he asked in his teasing tone as he stood up. “I see that you have been wandering around in our chamber.” My eyes widened, gasping at him. Desmond grinned as he approached me. I shivered when he tucked a few strands of my hair behind my ear. “It’s alright, Seraphina. My chamber is still your chamber.”

I couldn’t help myself blushing at his words. I cleared my throat. “S-Sander is going well with Hezekiah and Harolyn,” I said to divert the topic. “I’m afraid for Hazel, that shall not be the case.”

His face contorted. “She’s still delusional…” He shook his head. “Have a seat,” he said and took the tray from me.

I sat on the couch. I was expecting that he would sit across from me but I was surprised when he sat beside me.

I ignored the tension by serving him his tea. “What are your plans for the twins, Desmond?” I asked and bestowed him the teacup.

Our skins brushed so I inhaled sharply. I thought that Desmond was affected by it but he was acting as usual and thanked me.

“Actually… I don’t know… The twins have never been part of my future plans, Seraphina. What I also have in my mind is you and Sander only.” My heart raced rapidly at his words. His eyes darted at the ceiling. “Perhaps, once I might think about that being in the royal palace. But my agenda that I am willing to earn your trust is still there.” He glanced at me. His eyes looked hopeless as he held my hand. “I know that you don’t trust me anymore but I am not going to give you up, Seraphina.”

“Um…” I didn’t know what to say. I had told him that so many times. I strongly believed that I wouldn’t be able to trust him again but there was this part of me that I still wanted to give Desmond a chance.

I inhaled slowly when his thumb was caressing the back of my palm, causing me to have delicious sensations crawling to my skin.

To distract myself, I coerced a smile. “My wolf will be able to give you that but if you are going to ask me, I… don’t want to believe in you anymore.”

Desmond looked melancholy but still nodded. “I will be patient…”

We were enveloped with silence as he was taking his tea while my hormones were raging wildly when Desmond was not leaving his hand on mine. I didn’t have the heart to remove it since I was liking the part he was holding my hand.

Was I a hypocrite that I missed this?

I knew that we were friends but… Was it being his friend that made me trust him, right?NôvelDrama.Org is the owner.

And why the hell Desmond was so close to me?! His scent was strongly lingering in my nostrils. It felt ticklish.

“As a friend, will you miss me since I will be away for a while?” Desmond asked after a long moment of silence.

I wasn’t certain if he wanted to imply something but since he asked that it was a platonic relationship, I nodded. “Yes. I will be missing your scent as well. My sense of smell heightens ever since I am pregnant with our second pup.”

Desmond smiled. “That’s reassuring then. I will miss my little pup, too.” He caressed my stomach. “I won’t be that long, my love. Papa will come home as soon as possible so Mama won’t miss me.” I frowned at what he said but he only smiled sheepishly.

I tried to yank my hand back but he didn’t allow it. “Desmond…” I glared at him.

“No.” He leaned his forehead to my shoulder and sniffed me. “My wolf cannot stop to smell you. Your scent smells so good, Seraphina…”

I felt the same way… I wanted to say but I bit my lower lip. I suddenly wanted him all of a sudden and I think I couldn’t help myself anymore.

“Desmond…” I leaned forward on his chest which shocked him when I straddled him.

“Seraphina, what-” I placed my forefinger on his lips to hush him.

I inhaled and exhaled, wanting to be close with him. “Desmond… This is the fault of my pregnancy hormones but… I have been feeling horny ever since the day I turned a month pregnant.” I couldn’t help myself being bold to him.

I had been wanting to be satiated by Desmond. It was only him who could make me calm down about this arousal I had right now.

“Is this the reason why I keep smelling your arousal whenever you are with me? Do you want me, seraphim?” His eyes sparkled with lust as he drew his face closer. His hand was on my cheek, bringing shivers down my spine.

I couldn’t help nodding. The way his lips moved made me want to lunge at him right now. When I looked at him, he caught me looking at his lips which made me look away.

“What do you want me to do before I leave? I will be gone for days, Seraphina. Tell me now.” I held my breath hearing his sensual voice. “You know that I am not going to take advantage of you unless you invite me in your…” he paused when his nose traced the slenderness of my neck. “… escapade.”

I released a soft moan which surprised me because it was an automatic response from it. I clutched his hair when I drew closer to him.

I couldn’t hold myself when my lips landed on his cheek down to his earlobe. Desmond gasped and held my buttocks with that movement.

“Spend one night with me, cinnamon…” Mentioning that endearment again made me want to submit to him. “I want you to please me just like before…” I sucked his earlobe which made him groan.

“Once you begin this, I am going to look for it, Seraphina…” His chest was rising up and down. “You cannot say no once I start pleasing you. If I return from the royal palace, I will keep wanting you more. So, halt this now.” There was control in his tone.

I was expecting that he would halt my hands but he didn’t. His hands had been wandering around my body which bestowed me with some delirious feelings.

That made me want him more. “You are not going to please me?” I asked as I found myself grinding the clit to his bulging crotch. I looked at Desmond and met his lustful gaze.

“Are you prepared for the consequences?” He was challenging me.

I gulped. Was I prepared for this? Did I even consider the consequences?

I pulled down the straps of my chemise and revealed to him my healthy, growing breasts. Desmond growled immaculately as his mouth was salivating.

“Mine…” he said possessively as he groped them like it was his possession.

I leaned backward. “Cinnamon, please…” I moaned softly and forward my chest to him.

He had a huge grin on his lips while his fingers were busy rolling my nipples. “Do you really want me that much? Are you really prepared for the consequences, seraphim?” His tone changed into a sensual yet firm tone. His dominant side was showing.

Biting my lower lip, I nodded. “Yes, cinnamon. I am prepared for the… consequences.” His mouth latched one of my nipples which made me moan so loud. “Fuck, cinnamon…”

I almost closed my eyes when he distanced a little and held my chin. “I am glad that you do not forget how to address me, seraphim. You are such a good girl, hmm?”

I shivered in delight, grinding myself more to him. “Please reward me…” I pleaded. “Please use me, cinnamon…”

“Do you really wish that?” I nodded. “Well then, show me your obedience. Strip.”
