Fated is overrated
Chapter 185

It remains quiet for a few agonizing seconds, and I turn my gaze towards him unwillingly. His mouth is agape, and he is just staring at me perplexed. "Dame?" "yeah... I heard you... I am going to be an uncle?!" he almost yells. "Shhhhh! I don't know... Just get me the

test, please?". "OK. But erhm.. But where the hell am I supposed to get that here?!

You could have better asked your mates, or Xena". I sigh "I don't want them to get their hopes up. But.. Maybe you can ask Xena? And say it's for your girlfriend or something?". Damon snorts "we haven't even..." before stopping mid-sentence, with a blush on his face. "Never mind. Hold on, I'll be right back!" he leaves the room. Second turn into minutes, and it feels like I have been waiting for all eternity already. 'We couldn't replace anything, baby. Where are you?' Zane links me, and I have to come up with an excuse. Fast! On the toilet, I'll be down in a minute'. 'OK baby. Let me know if you need help'. My little brother needs to hurry the hell up, I can't stay "on the toilet" forever. Having all this time to think, and to worry, isn't doing me any good.

And I need to shield my emotions from my mates, so they don't come looking for me. What if I am pregnant, then what? I didn't even think I wanted pups. But I would never harm an innocent life, especially not life I created myself. I am brought back from my reverie when the door opens, and Damon is barging into the room looking sweaty and out of breath.

"Geez. Next time you ask for a favor, make it something easier, will you?". "To access the complete chapters for free, visit J o bnlb.com. Yeah yeah, where is it?" I hold out my hands eagerly, while Damon reaches into his pocket to retrieve a small package. "Would you like me to stay?" Damon asks hesitantly. I snatch it from his hands swiftly and run to the bathroom, while yelling "yes!".

I pull out the test and read what to do quickly, before performing the actual test. The 5 minutes I have to wait now are pure torture, and I have a hard time shielding my emotions from Zeke and Zane, as they are so overwhelming.

I pace around the bathroom anxiously, making sure not to look at the test until the time is up.

After what feels like ages, my timer goes off, and I swallow thickly when walking towards the bassinet. I was expecting it to say "not pregnant" or "pregnant", but instead it is only showing a + sign. I should have read the damn manual all the way through. I quickly open the manual and scan to where the results page is.

My heart and breathing stop, upon reading that a + sign means pregnant. This can't be, right?! I thought she wolves could only get pregnant when marked and only during heat?! I am still staring at the thing, when I hear a knock at the door, and Damon's soft voice comes filtering through "are you OK, sis?". "Y-y-yeah" I answer unsteadily, before swallowing the lump in my throat. Pregnant. PREGNANT.
