Alexei's POV

Cara is beautiful. I could see her baby bump as she slid into the shower ahead of me. I can't stop myself from wrapping my arms around her waist after I entered and lacing my fingers together in front of our baby. I am so excited about our baby, but it makes me even more fearful about losing her. Correction, losing them. That jerk is coming for her. I can feel it. Robert was just as anxious about Saoirse. Saoirse and Cara still had some power, just not as much as before.

I enjoyed starting our days like this. I quickly turned Cara around and leaned down to capture her lips with mine. I groaned as I felt her open her mouth to grant me access. Cara was just as excited as I was by the kiss. She wrapped her arms around my neck and leaned closer to me. I could feel her nipples touching my chest. It made me almost feverish with want for my mate. I had to force myself to calm down. The doctor said we could have sex but that I needed to not be quite so vigorous for at least the next month.

Cara had a minor incident where she was spotting yesterday after we made love. I had carried her straight to Dr. Gurin. We were both so worried that something was wrong with the baby. Cara had been so embarrassed when he had asked what had proceeded the spotting, but I told him exactly what had happened. We were both happy that the baby was fine. I have to control myself in the future, which is more challenging than you would think.

If I am being honest, it is almost impossible. I have waited for someone to love for centuries. To me, Cara is perfection. I didn't want anyone else, it is only Cara for me for the next several centuries until our time here in the world is up. I know that she was considering becoming a vampire. I didn't want her to feel like I was forcing her to do it. It is hard to become one of us. She can ask Cheryl about that.

When I think of the pain that she will have to go through to do it, I don't want her to. I am so worried about her transitioning. There is a possibility of her death during her transition. If there is any way around it, I am fine with it. Witches live for hundreds of years, too. She finally admitted that she was worried that she would eventually get so old that I would no longer be interested in her. She is wrong, but I will go along with whatever she decides to do. It isn't just her appearance that draws me in. It is her kindness, love, and care for her family-how she refuses to accept defeat. There are so many reasons for me to love her.

We quickly showered, and I helped her dry off. I am not putting her at risk for shower sex anymore. I don't want her or our baby to get hurt. "You don't have to treat me like glass, Alexei. I won't break," Cara teases me as I lay her on our bed.

"I am aware of that, love. I can't help myself. I am glad that I got most of my work done yesterday. Today is just a half-day," I teased her as I lay beside her. I enjoy all of our time together, but especially lying next to her in the bed. Anton has been busy asking Cara about how she wanted her home to be. He is designing it specifically for us. We have already cleared some trees so our home will be built near his.

I am very excited knowing I will become neighbors with my brother and his family. The fact that our children will grow up together makes All of my dreams come true, and it is all because of the woman who is lying next to me. I had to calm myself down by reminding myself that Cara was still in the early stages of her pregnancy. I was using my fingers to bring her to her first orgasm. I didn't want to cause her any more issues. She needed to be wet to be able to take me. I don't know how I will go slow with her when everything about her excites me. I am already aching, thinking of the pace I knew I would have to use today.

Cara was breathless as she came down from her orgasm and said, "I want you inside me, Alexei."

She wasn't going to have to ask me twice. I was all ready to cum right now. I had been since the shower. I should have stayed in the shower to deal with this growing problem while Cara dried off. I will have to remember that for the next time.

The moment I slid into her, I had to bite my lip to keep from moaning. She was wrapped tightly around my cock, and the feeling was intense. The need to pound into her until she cried out my name was hard to resist. I braced myself on my forearms and continued my slow pace inside my mate. I lowered my head and started kissing Cara. She held my jaw in her hands and kissed me back with fervor. I caught her moan of pleasure as I slid into her again. This pace had some merit to it. It brought you up to heights, much slower, but I would do anything to protect my mate and baby.

I knew I was getting closer to going over. I was waiting for Cara to cross over first. She was enjoying this slower pace. She stared into my eyes, and her nails dug into my back. She was very close. I planned to chase after her when she caught her release, but she suddenly surprised me with a request.

"Alexei, drink from me," Cara panted out. Her breathing was getting more rapid, and I knew that it would just be a matter of a minute before her orgasm ripped through her.

I couldn't resist her request. I had heard about drinking from your significant other before, although I had never done it personally. I usually don't drink from anyone, but Cara is my mate, and I would do anything for her. I allowed my fangs to descend and pierced her vein. I felt a wave of pleasure like I had never felt before rush over me. I could barely keep myself from releasing in her right now. Holding out was a painful pleasure that I had not experienced before. I felt my member swell up even more as Cara screamed my name out.

Her orgasm was still tearing through her as she continued to moan out my name. I released into her, amazed at the feeling of it. I swear that it has never been so intense for me ever before. I cried out as well, with rope after rope of cum continuing to release into Cara. If she weren't already pregnant, I am sure she would have been after that. I fell over onto my side as I tried to catch my breath. It has never felt like that before, never. Anything having to do with Cara has always been better than with anyone else I slept with, hands down. I leaned over, licking her small wound clean, and tried to wrap my head around what had just happened.

"Cara, how did you know about that," I asked.

"Girl talk," Cara replied with a smile. She was still shaking in the aftermath as she continued to come down.

"Well, whoever you heard about it from, please thank them from me. I have never felt that hard of a release before. I can't wait to try it again," I nipped her mark before getting out of bed to get dressed. I wanted to start the day so I could return to Cara as quickly as possible. It was hard enough leaving her each day. Thankfully, she was safe with my brother and his wife. Otherwise, it would be even harder to leave.

Cara hated to go. She would much rather stay home and spend time with her mother, but she seems to be enjoying her time with her sisters. Sasha and Emerson, as well as Tatiana, have been coming to visit. Dmitry wanted her to be safe while we worked, too. Everyone is aware that Anton's home is the safest place in the whole pack. The home he is making for us will also be incredibly safe for my family.

Cara was dragging her feet, but she got dressed. Before she put her shirt on, I kissed her stomach and said, "Be good today, baby. Don't give your mother any problems."

I do the same thing every day. I enjoy speaking to the baby. Cara likes it when I do it. I want my baby to know who I am when they finally arrive. I am so impatient to meet them already. I wish they could get here next week, but I knew we needed to build our home and ready their nursery-so many things to do before they arrive in a few months. Cara will be pregnant longer than Brenna will. Brenna was pregnant first, and with her and Jaxon having the Alpha gene, the baby should arrive around the four-and-a-half-month mark.

Kevin arrived yesterday with Luna, and they stayed at Anton and Cheryl's home. Kevin was in the house with them, which was also a comfort to me and Jaxon. He was working on his laptop on pack matters that his Betas, Liam, and Dexter couldn't complete. They were Jaxon's younger brothers and could handle everything for a day or two. I hope that it wouldn't take any monger than that. I was ready for this whole thing to be over with soon. I was going to kill Clay myself. He will never be a problem for us again.

I dropped Cara off after she teleported us to Anton's home. I kissed her goodbye, which always tugged on my heart, leaving her. I wasn't taking a chance by walking through the woods. We all knew Clay and his men had been testing the perimeter lately. They managed to evade the patrols by leaving the same way they came. They never come here during the same time, and frankly, I am getting frustrated. I wanted this over and done with. I'm not particularly eager to wait for Clay to come here.

Dmitry and Ivan tease me all the time now. Usually, I tell everyone else to calm down or be patient. I can see now that saying that is annoying. I made a mental note not to do it anymore. We had a plan in place and were waiting for them to strike. I arrived at my office to see Dmitry and Ivan standing just outside of their offices, waiting for me.

Ivan had the cordless phone in his hand and held it towards me the second I walked up. I didn't know who it was, but this had better be good. No one ever calls the landline. I didn't think it worked anymore, as we all used cell phones. I answered the phone, "Alexei Fedorov," and waited for a response.

A man's voice came through the phone. "Clay plans to attack the Black Adder pack at eight p.m. tonight. I just wanted to warn you. Pass it on to Alpha Jaxon."
