Through The Eyes Of My Alpha

Chapter 66

Through the eyes of my alpha Chapter 66

RILEY The doctor’s visit went well. Doctor Genevieve came and did a thorough check-up on Nadia and our pup. She was already in her ninth week, which means she was three weeks pregnant when she left. Genevieve said all of Nadia’s and the pup’s vitals were excellent and there was nothing to worry about. And she was about to leave our room when Nadia asked about her heat and about sex.

I was actually planning to ask the doctor discreetly, but then again, my mate has her own ways of surprising me.

And it gave me an overview that I wasn’t the only one looking forward to it.

But I dared not voice my opinion.

I stayed quiet the whole time, like the good mate that I was.

Genevieve confirmed that she would still go on her usual heat during full moons, but it would become less and less than usual as she neared her delivery.

As for sex, we could continue as usual and she even suggested making it more frequent as her due date approaches.

And that got me excited.

But it has been three days since that day, and I am still not able to stick my fucking penis into her.

I wasn’t complaining.

I can wait.

Yes, I can.

As I said, I wasn’t complaining, but I wouldn’t deny that it was driving me and Hunter wild.

But this was far better than not having Nadia at all.

Especially after what happened on the first night she was home.

I knew at least, that I was making progress.

I slept on the couch only to wake up with my mate on top of me, her arms clinging to my neck like she didn’t want to let me go.

I moved us to the bed, and by morning, I got her to allow me to sleep in the bed with her.

Not that everything was easy after that.

My lovely temptress made certain that she would tease me, kiss me, and allow me to touch her only to cock block me once things heated up.

I knew she was doing it on purpose and I was just letting her. Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org exclusive © material.

It was a small price for everything I did to her.

But too bad, my fucking dick needed to suffer.

And I couldn’t do anything.

I grabbed the towel and dried the sweat off my face and neck as well as my body before slipping my shirt on.

I was done with my morning training and would be free until after lunch.

I wanted to spend time with Nadia, so I hurried off the training ground and walked towards the pack house.

The sun was out today, and I was thinking of taking Nadia to a private stream where she could swim and relax before I got busy again with office work later.

As soon as I entered the pack house, her scent swirled around me.

Her scent became stronger now that she was pregnant, and I wasn’t complaining because it became more enticing.

A hundred times sweeter.

My nose led me to the kitchen.

I was excited to see her, only to be disappointed to see her sitting too close to my Beta.

They were both sitting on a high chair on the kitchen middle counter with their backs to the entryway.

Although they were not brushing shoulders, it looked to me like they were having a private conversation.

“Aren’t you both too close for comfort?

” I asked in a cold tone, and both heads snapped to look in my direction.

“Alpha,” The Beta stood up and bowed at me before tilting his head to the side, a gesture of submission.

“Never sît too near my Luna again,” I told him.

My voice was clearly laced with jealousy, but I wasn’t giving a fuck.

“I apologize, Alpha.

We were just discussing something, but it will never happen again.

” “Good,” I answered him in the same cold tone before my eyes shifted to my mate, who was still sitting, elbow resting on the counter and face leaning on her knuckles, looking at me with an amused expression.

“You may leave, Beta,” I ordered.

“Alpha, Luna,” Dominic said this before I heard him walking away.

My eyes were still fixated on Nadia, and if I was being honest, I didn’t like the smile on her face.

“Was it jealousy I detected?

” She asked, licking her lips as she swiveled the chair to face me and leaned her elbows backward against the counter.

Her breasts were arching as if tempting me to look at them.

“Should I be worried about what I saw?

” I asked her, crossing my arms over my chest.

I saw her eyes dart to my arms before they went to my chest.

“Nadia…” “What?

I’m sorry.

Stop flexing your muscles.

You’re distracting me.

” “You’re trying to divert the topic.

” “Are you seriously thinking the Beta and I had something?

Quit on that.

I’m not stupid enough to cheat on you with someone close to you.

Plus…” She looked at her manicured nails before smiling at me.

“I have everything I need in my Alpha, so I’m not looking elsewhere.

” I remained in my position, arms crossed against my chest.

I trusted both my Beta and my mate, but sometimes I couldn’t help it.

“Would you like to ask what we were discussing?

” She asked sweetly.

I nodded my head.

“Let’s go to your office.

” “Why not here?

” I frowned.

“If you can discuss things with him here, then you can…” “Ssshhh…” She cut me off immediately.

“That’s the reason why we’re here.

I don’t want us locked up in a room while discussing things because you and your jealous mind might think we were doing something.

But you… and me.

We can be locked up in a room.

So, to your office now, Alpha.

” Her fingers trailed my abs and arm as she passed by me.

TOTTEN I let out a breath before a smile tugged into my mouth as I followed after her.

A dominant Nadia was alluring.

But a pregnant, dominant Nadia was something more.

I closed the door as I entered my office, while my eyes followed her to the couch.

I went to the window and leaned my side against the wall.

“What were you discussing?

” She crossed her legs and placed her hands over her knees before she swallowed and started speaking.

“First, whatever objections you have, you need to keep them for a while.

Because you need to hear me out.

I want you to be open-minded, and…” “What is this all about?

Will it hurt?

” “What are you scared of?

What will hurt you the most, Riley?

” “You.

Leaving me.

” She smiled warmly at me before she shook her head slowly.

“I won’t be leaving you.

So nothing to be scared of.

” “Speak…” “When I was in Atlanta, I met someone…”.

A low growl vibrated from my chest and I found it hard to breathe.

Did she meet someone she liked?

“Do you like him?

” I asked, almost growling.

She shook her head.

“It’s a female.

And no, I’m not into females.

And this is not about me “You’re confusing me.

” “Can you let me talk?

Hold the growls and the jealousy, please.

” I didn’t answer this time, my lips pursing into a thin line as I steadied my breathing.

“I saw your mother, Riley.

I met Zahra.

” My head snapped to look at her as my eyes dilated.

“This discussion is over.

If you still have communication with her, I’m asking you to sever it.

I don’t want anything to do with her, not me, not you.

” “Riley,” She stood up from the couch and walked towards me.

Her hands went straight to my chest, and my heart started to calm down a bit.

“Listen to me.

Can we not give Zahra a chance to explain?

” “What lies did she tell you?

Don’t let her brainwash you.

” “What if those were not lies?

” “I don’t fucking want her in my life!

” I moved away from her and walked to the liquor cabinet.

I grabbed the decanter and poured rum into an empty glass.

“But I do!

I want her in my life and our baby’s life.

” “No.

You’re asking for an impossible thing.

” “What I’m asking you is easy compared to what you’ve asked of me.

You don’t even need to welcome her back into your life, but just give her a chance to explain.

” “No.

This conversation is over.

” “Fine.

If you want to go that way, then it’s your choice.

I’m laying out two options here.

If you take me, then you’re taking Zahra with me.

Without her, then I’m out of here too.

” “Fuck Nadia!

Can you actually hear yourself?

” “Yes.

Take it or leave it.

Forget all about me.

And once you’re ready to be a part of our baby’s life, you can find me in Zahra’s home.

” Was she fucking serious?

My jaw tightened as I watched Nadia walk towards the door with her head up, but I could see her eyes glistening, tears pooling in them.

I sat my glass on the table, and in a few strides, I was already in front of her, blocking her way.

“Nadia.

.

” My voice came out desperate as I wrapped my arms around her, pulling her into my chest.

“Don’t walk away.

Let’s discuss this.

” “It’s non-negotiable, Riley.

” “Ask me something else.

This is the hardest thing you’ve asked me.

” She wriggled free from my arms.

She placed her hand on my chest as she tilted her head and met my eyes “How about me, Riley?

What was the hardest thing you’ve asked of me?

But I accepted it all because I love you.

” “She ruined me, Nadia.

” “She didn’t.

It’s your idea of what she is that ruined you.

That’s why I’m asking you to hear her out first.

If you doubt her words, roll out your Alpha command.

I know you hated using it but used it to get the doubts off your head.

” “I will never use an Alpha command for something like that.

” “Bullshit, Riley!

You almost used it to Jenny!

You’re willing to use it to someone who was loyal to you but not to someone you don’t care about?

” She snapped at me.

“Relax!

Can we talk calmly?

” I brushed her arms with my hands, regretting riling up her emotions.

“I want our baby to grow up with a family, a complete one.

And I can’t give our pup a grandmother anymore, but you can.

So I’m counting on you.

” “Nadia… You’re asking too much.

” “And I will never ask anything more, Riley.

” I let out a deep breath, not knowing what to say more.

“This is for you, as much as it is for our baby.

I want you to stop thinking that the first female in your life didn’t want you.

” “She brainwashed you.

She can deceive anyone she wants.

She’s good at it.

” “That’s not how I see her.

I saw a female longing to hold her son.

“She’s that good, huh?

She can make you believe things.

” “Stop judging her.

When you judge her, you judge all mothers, including me.

How could you possibly think I would abandon my baby?

My own blood and soul?

” “Nadia, not all mothers are like that.

” “Maybe she’s part of the ‘not all others’.

So, Riley, please… for me.

” Nadia’s eyes were pooling with tears, and I saw the pain in them.

I couldn’t hold her gaze any more.

I rested my forehead against her as I closed my eyes.

I was slowly losing my stance.

No matter how much I hated Zahra, I hated more the pain I saw in Nadia’s eyes.

“You had no idea how much I was willing to trade places with you to have a chance to see my mother, even my father.

Please don’t waste yours.

” Her voice was breaking, and it pained me more.

I knew how much she missed the mother she never had.

“Meeting her won’t change my mind.

I knew her and what she did.

” “You know the female, your father made you believe that she was.

I’m not saying your father was a bad man, but maybe he saw things differently.

Maybe it’s time to see the other side too, not just your father’s.

” I withdrew my forehead from her and pressed her head into my chest.

“For you, Nadia.

I will meet her.

I will try.

But I can’t promise you that I will forgive her.

” She nodded her head as her hands coiled into my shirt, clinging to it tightly.

“It’s good enough for me.

Thank you.

” “My father, he left me a letter before he died, but I didn’t open it.

My heart was too cold to even grieve for him.

I told my Beta to keep it back in his safe.

I want to read it.
