I gulped and took a deep breath.

“Nathan?” I called him quietly.

“Yes, Jenny?” he asked, giving me a small smile.

I had to tell him. I couldn’t keep it from him any longer. This news had nothing to do with our current problem. It was only a matter of time before he figured it out. I was surprised that he didn’t notice it yet.

“I am two and a half months pregnant,” I said quietly. “It’s a boy. You are going to be a dad.”

His one good eye widened, and a huge grin spread across his face. He looked down at my belly and sobbed.

“I am going to be a dad?” he asked, looking back up at me.

I nodded, and he pulled me into a hug immediately.

My heart skipped a beat. I was so happy that the news made him happy.

I still needed time, though. I needed time to process everything that happened. I needed time to accept it all.

CHAPTER THREE – Hunter

Nathan’s POV

I was looking at my beautiful little boy, who was sleeping peacefully in my arms.

He was perfect. He was a perfect combination of his mom and me.

"You are going to be the best Alpha one day," I told him quietly. "I will be there for you every step of the way. I am not going to do what my father did, I promise. I will be better. I will do better."

When my pup was born, one of my greatest fears was that I would be a bad father. I didn't have the best role model growing up. I was so scared that I would turn out just like my father did.

But Jenny convinced me otherwise. She made me realize that I was different. She was there for me, and she supported me every step of the way.

Unfortunately for me, she was only there for me as a friend.

She said that she needed time. I understood it, and I tried to support her.

It was so fucking hard, though. I wanted my mate more than anything. I wanted to kiss her, and I wanted to hold her. I wanted to mark her. I wanted to make her mine.

But I knew she needed time. I knew that I fucked up.

"How is he?" I heard my mate's voice.

I turned around and smiled.

"He is sleeping peacefully," I said, looking back down at him.

I bent down and placed a soft kiss on his forehead.

"I can't believe he is three months old today," Jenny said quietly. "Time is going by so fast."

My heart clenched.

She was right. Time was going by so fast, and I still didn't have her. My family wasn't complete yet.

Jenny approached us and smiled. She looked at our pup and caressed his little cheek.

"He is so cute," she mumbled. "And I am not saying that just because he is our pup."
