Page 99 of The Pregnant Wolf Omega Next Door

“It’s so fucking hot,” Emre added.

“What?” Zenith frowned, trying to make sense of this. “Sweetheart, I might’ve just given you athirdbaby.”

“Well.” Emre shrugged a little. “When you’ve already got two, what’s one more? The thing is, when wolf alphas and wolf omegas mate, they get alitterof pups. I’ve been getting them one at a time because these pups are mixed species.”

Zenith gaped again. “You’re... taking this much better than I am.”

Emre frowned and cupped his belly. “You don’t want this baby?”

“No, of course I want this baby too! It’s just... Sweetheart, you never got a chance to recover fully from Bean’s birth.” Gods, Zenith felt awful. He had promised to be responsible for Emre’s health and safety, and he’d gone and fucked up at the first opportunity. He should’ve checked the damn box of condoms before using any.

And yet, in his secret heart of hearts, he felt a kernel of pride. If Emre had conceived two pups so easily, then it meant that this heat would likely lead to a third child.

Zenith’s own baby, planted inside Emre.

He hung his head. “I’m a terrible alpha.”

Emre frowned. “Why do you say that?”

Zenith bit his lip, burning with shame. He didn’t want to admit the truth, but he had to, to even the scales somehow. “Part of me likes that I... that I might have just knocked you up. I’m sorry.”

Emre continued to stare. Then his confusion cleared up, and he reached over to pull Zenith into a hug. “This is already way more than what the other alphas have given me.”

“I don’t want to be another bad example!”

“No, that’s not what I’m saying!” Emre scowled and bopped Zenith on the nose. “You care. You’re providing for me, and you like having the pups around. In my opinion, that’s agoodexample.”

Zenith relaxed slightly.

“The way I see it, you never got to experience most of my pregnancy with Bean,” Emre said. “Now you’ll get to help me with the rest of it.”

That... was a better way of thinking about it. Zenith sighed. “Okay.”

“Especially the morning sickness,” Emre added.

Zenith sagged. “Fuck. And you were looking forward to not being bloated, too.”

“Well, you can make it up to me,” Emre said.

“I will.”

It was different,watching Emre carry his child.

Sure, Zenith had promised to provide for Emre and protect him no matter what. But there was an extra sense of responsibility now that hadn’t been there before.

He had gotten Emre into this situation; he would get Emreoutof it too.

It was maybe starting to stress him out a little.

“Are you sure you’re allowed to eat that much raw meat?” Zenith said worriedly.

“I’ll be fine,” Emre said.

“But—”

“Zenith.” Emre took Zenith’s hand, looking him in the eye. “I grew up in a wolf pack. I’ve been pregnanttwice.I think I know enough to avoid making mistakes.”

Zenith’s face grew warm. “Sorry. It’s just... I’m nervous.”
