“Oh, Goddess,” I cried out as I lowered myself until I reached her lower belly.
I placed a hand on it and I felt my heart explode with all the love that overwhelmed me.
“Hi, my beautiful little pup,” I mumbled as I leaned in and placed a soft kiss below her belly button. “It’s your dad. I love you so much.”
Maddie stirred and sighed quietly. I felt a tear fall down my cheek.
“Maddie, princess?” I called her as I caressed her lower belly with my thumb.
She furrowed her brows a little and made herself more comfortable. I smiled and caressed her lower belly again.
“Maddie?” I called her a bit louder.
She sighed and frowned a little. She opened her eyes slowly and I could tell that she was confused when she didn’t see me next to her. She looked down at me and furrowed her brows.
“What are you doing?” she asked sleepily. “Come back and hold me.”
I chuckled and gave her a small nod.
“In a minute, princess,” I said. “I need to tell you something first.”
She laid her head back down, closed her eyes, and sighed.
“It better be good,” she mumbled. “I am not happy that you woke me up.”
I had to bite my cheek to stop myself from laughing.
“Skol woke me up to tell me that he can feel our pup in here,” I said softly as I placed another kiss below her belly button.
She froze for a second. Her eyes snapped open and she lifted her head abruptly. She looked at me wide-eyed and I grinned.
“Is that good enough?” I asked, trying so hard not to chuckle.
She gasped and looked at my hand on her lower belly.
“Is he sure?” she asked quietly. “Am I really pregnant?”
“He is sure, princess,” I said, reaching up and caressing her cheek. “We are going to have a little pup.”
I saw tears in her eyes and her emotions overwhelmed me completely. She was happy. She was excited. She already loved our pup more than anything else in this world. But she was also a little bit nervous and worried.
“There is nothing to be nervous about, my love,” I said, resting my head on her belly. “You two are my greatest treasure. Nothing will happen to you. I will always keep you safe.”
She ran her fingers through my hair and sniffled quietly. I looked up at her and saw her smiling softly.
“I know,” she said, caressing my cheek. “And we will always keep you safe. We both love you so much. You are going to be an amazing dad.”
Another tear fell on my cheek and Maddie wiped it away.
“And you are going to be an amazing mom,” I said softly. “Our pup will adore you. He is the luckiest pup in the world because you will be his mom.”
Maddie smiled and ran her fingers through my hair again.
‘I want to see him,’Skol whined.‘I want to smell him.’
‘There is nothing to see, Skol,’I told him.
She wasn’t even showing yet and she wouldn’t be for a while. She was probably pregnant for only a few days. Lycan wolves could feel their pups very early in the pregnancy. Skol felt him even before Skye did.
