Page 103 of Surprise Mother Pucker

I cocked my head. How could I respond to that? “I'm not sure, honestly.” I shrugged.

“Look, no offense, but there's no way in hell that Storm Sanderson would be dating a single mother unless you had some truly epic moves. No alpha wants to play daddy to a baby that isn’t his.” The grin never faltered as she spoke. Did she think she was being friendly? Weirdly enough, I thought she was, in her own warped, twisted way.

“Look, I can’t tell you how I did it. I was just myself.” I desperately wanted to get out of there, but since they surrounded me on both sides, the only way to escape would be to shove one of them out of the way. If they didn't move soon, though, I wouldn’t be opposed to doing exactly that.

The blonde’s grin dropped. “Why? What do you have that we don't?” she asked, pointedly raking her eyes over me.

I shrugged again. “I can’t tell you. All I know is that my pack and I are happy.”

“Wait, the entire pack?”

One of her friends snorted. “Right there is what she's doing. She's fucking the entire pack because she's an omega and they like that.”

I glowered at her. “So?”

“I don’t know about you, but I couldn’t fuck that nerdy one. He’s just not my type.”

Was she talking about Eli?MyEli?

I snorted. “Are you fucking blind? You're calling him nerdy, simply because he wears glasses? That man has a better body than half the hockey players.”

I didn't think Eli would be mad at me for complimenting his body in front of these women. Plus, for a brief moment, I wanted to make them jealous.

Her face fell, and anger replaced it. “Look, you're more than welcome to him. We just want to know what you did to get Storm. We all know you're not going to keep his attention, so why can't you be nice and let us know what you did? Is it because you're knocked up?”

The blonde nodded. “That explains it. If that’s Storm’s baby, he’s probably staying out of some fucked-up sense of duty. Gosh, that’s horrible of you to do to him.”

I resisted the urge to pinch the bridge of my nose. All I wanted to do was get home to my pack and my baby.

Had I done that to Storm? He wasn't only with me because of Charlotte, was he? Several times, he had made his thoughts about me quite clear. Even then, my relationship with Eli and the other guys was solid. I had never felt so loved and adored in my whole life.

“This baby isn't Storm’s.” I smiled serenely.

The blonde broke out in another grin. “You've managed to get him to take credit for a baby that isn't his? God, you must have a magic pussy!”

“Well…” I said, tapping my chin thoughtfully. “It could be Storm’s. That's the thing about being with a pack. We do everything together.”

“But you aren't part of that pack…”

“Yet. They’ve asked me, and we decided to wait until after the baby.” I grinned, liking the way her face cracked at my words.

“You can't join that pack. Once you join the pack, there’s no going back.”

What she meant was that, once Storm was bonded to me, there was no way in hell he would ever want to sleep with her.

“You can’t. I won’t let you!” she said, her voice rising.

“I know this may be a hard concept for you to grasp, but you have no say in me and my pack bonding.”

“I do, considering Storm and I are a thing!” she growled.

My stomach dropped. They couldn’t be, could they? I didn't want to doubt Storm, but I knew the way he’d been before he found out about Charlotte. There was still that little niggling doubt in the corner of my mind.

The blonde noticed my slight wavering and jumped on that. “Look, I'm just trying to be a girl’s girl, but Storm and I see each other pretty regularly. I think it's noble that he wants to take credit for your child and look after you, but he's not a good guy. Incredible in the sack, but not a good guy.”

“That’s bullshit,” I growled. There was no way, especially after the way Storm had dismissed her at the game.

“It’s not.” She smirked proudly while her friends all nodded and muttered in agreement.
