Selling Myself To The Alpha
Chapter 85

Liana

POV

I am lying on my side and staring at a sleeping Axel. Sometimes I must pinch myself to make sure I am not dreaming. This gorgeous god of a man is mine and he loves me. It has been four weeks since I moved in with him and my life is a fairytale - literally. I have my prince charming, the kind king and the evil stepmother. Well, in my case, mother-in-law. She still has not warmed up to me. Sure, she is polite, and I cannot fault her for her manners, but the room's temperature drops to zero when she walks in when I am present. There was a moment when I thought we broke through the barrier when we told her I am pregnant, but as soon as she heard about the blood transfusions, she turned cold again. In her eyes, I am simply not fit to be a Luna, and my difficulty keeping this baby is proof to her.

Fortunately, Grant adores me and is doing everything to help me and make me feel welcome. He is the one training me for my role as future Luna when Axel is at work.

Quitting my job was not my first choice, but I did not even argue when Axel asked me to resign. Not only is it for the safety of our baby, but I also need to step it up as Luna. And I did not like the stares and whispers when I went to work after we became public knowledge. But it was my choice to stop the art classes. Axel and Luther might have talked things through, but it is still a little awkward for me. Posted by Ebookex.com; visit us for more free novels.

"Why are you awake?" Axel asks groggily and reaches for me.

"Did you forget what day it is?" I laugh as I nestle closer to him.

"It's Wednesday, isn't it?" He yawns and I lay my head on his chest.

"You did forget," I pout and roll away.

"No, I haven't," he chuckles as his arm goes around my waist and he pulls my back against his chest. "Our appointment with Michelle, but I'm not getting my hopes up again. Wolfie refuses to reveal his gender." "Today will be different," I insist. "I just know it."

"I care to know," he mumbles in my neck as his hand glides over my breasts to my stomach where a little bump is starting to show. "But I don't mind waiting."

"I know," I sigh contently as I allow myself to get lost in his touch. "But it's nice to be excited about normal things like the baby's gender instead of worrying if he'll survive."

"Michelle said we're past the worst," Axel pulls me onto my back and leans over to softly kiss me. "You and Wolfie are fine."

"All thanks to your super blood," I grin as I throw my arms around his neck. "I haven't had a single symptom since that night."

"No symptoms?" He gives me a wicked smile and rolls away to stand up.

"Don't you dare," I grab his arm and pull him down onto his back.

"No symptoms, but one," I say as I straddle his lap. Since I reached the second trimester, I am downright horny. There is no nice way to put it.

"And I love the symptom," he chuckles as his hand slides up my thighs, over my stomach and settles on my breasts.

"Enjoy it while you can," I glide my hands over his muscular chest, and he sits upright to kiss me.

Without breaking contact, I lift my hips and slowly lower myself onto him as I revel in the exquisite feeling of him inside me. His hands roam my back and I tighten my grip around his neck and push closer to him. I move my hips faster as my desire builds higher. The friction of our bodies ignites sparks all over my skin and I moan softly as I feel my o****m getting closer.

Axel pushes me slightly backwards and I place my hands on his knees behind me to support myself as his lips trail down my neck towards my cleavage.

"Ah, yes," I gasp when he takes my nipple into his mouth.

"Axel," Grant knocks on the door.

"Just a minute, Dad," Axel shouts and frustrated beyond measure I lean forward and rest my head on his shoulder. I am about to get off his lap, but he gets a firm hold of my hips and continues our rhythm. Surprised, but happy, I bite onto my bottom lip not to make a sound as I get closer and closer to release.

"I don't want to come in," Grant replies. "I was just wondering if Liana would be okay if I join you for the doctor's visit today?"

"Ah! Yes!" I yell as my orgasm hits me hard, but I do not stop moving until Axel replaces release.

"Thanks, Liana," Grant replies.

"You're welcome," I mumble as I lay trembling against Axel's chest.

"Now that was an enthusiastic yes," Axel chuckles before claiming my lips.

"Ready?" Axel asks patiently when I walk out of the bathroom.

"Let's go," I smile as I pick up my handbag.

Hand in hand we leave the room and join Adele who is already waiting for us in the hallway.

"My phone," Axel stops dead in his tracks. "I left it in the room, I'll meet you at the car."

"Who has baby brain now?" I smirk when he dashes towards the room as Adele and I continue walking.

"Good morning, Mrs Silvermann," I greet her friendly when we pass the living room. "Are you also joining us today?"

"Why would I want to do that?" She snorts unladylike before getting up and leaving the room.

"I know this is none of my business," Adele whispers as we walk outside. "But why do you even bother with her? If she treated me like that, I would've ignored her."

"I survived my mother," I grin. "This is nothing in comparison. And I respect her as Axel's mother. She raised a good man, surely she can't be all bad."

"No, she's not," Adele admits. "But what she's doing, isn't right or Luna like."

"It doesn't matter," I shrug. "And you must remember, her son and her husband took my side against her and supported me. That must be a bitter pill to swallow."

"You're already a better Luna than her," Adele smiles but I choose to ignore the compliment. As much as it warms my heart, I am not in competition with Axel's mother. "That's quite an entourage," I gasp when we reach the cars.

"Because you have quite a fan club," Adele laughs.

Grant, Drew, Carol, David and Nick are all gathered and look at me when we walk closer.

"What's all this?" I laugh flabbergasted. "You know I'm not giving birth today, right?"

"Support," Grant motions to Drew and Carol. "And the rest is security."

"When the alphas are moving, we are moving," David grins.

"Then get moving," Axel orders as he joins us.

Axel helps me onto the bed in the examination room while Grant, Drew and Carol stand aside.

"Dear goddess," Michelle's eyes widen when she steps into the room. "This is a lot of people."

"Are you going to make us leave?" Carol asks softly.

"It depends on Liana," Michelle looks at me.

"They can stay," I smile reassuringly. "They're all family."

"Okay," Michelle nods. "But only for the ultrasound. After that, Mom and Dad are the only ones allowed."

"We appreciate it, Doctor," Grant smiles and Michelle nods.

Axel comes to stand next to me and takes my hand. Nobody says a word as Michelle starts working. Everybody's eyes are glued onto the monitor. "Measurements are within range," Michelle reports after a while. "Heart and other organs are normal. Everything seems fine. Just like last week." "And?" Axel asks eagerly as his grip on my hand tightens.

"And it looks like a boy," she chuckles.

"I knew it!" Axel exclaims as he bends over and kisses me.

"Well done, son," Grant pats Axel on the back and looks proudly at me. "You too, Liana."

"I'm just happy the baby is fine," Carol sniffs. "And I'll buy more blue wool."

"Okay, everybody out," Michelle says friendly, but firmly.

"Gunter would be a good name," Grant says to Drew as they leave. "Strong and manly."

"Hell, no," Drew huffs. "It sounds like a German rifle. Now André is a solid choice."

"Grandfathers," Michelle sighs as she turns back to me. "They're all the same. How are you doing, Liana?"

"Honestly, I feel great," I smile as I hold out my arm for her to draw blood. "I don't even have morning sickness, fatigue or heartburn."

"That's excellent," she smiles. "You made quite a turnaround and... what the hell?"

"What's wrong?" Axel asks and instantly, my heart is in my throat.

"Nothing," she frowns and holds up the needle. "It broke. There's not even a mark on her skin. I will contact the supplier; this must be a defect."

"Has that ever happened before?" Axel frowns.

"Only with wolves but..." Abruptly she goes quiet before she looks at us with a bright smile. "It must be the blood transfusions. It's working so well that Liana's skin is now the same density as a wolf's. Regular needles won't work on her anymore." "Is that a bad thing?" I ask nervously.

"Not at all," she smiles as she takes out a bigger needle. With wide eyes I watch her insert it in my arm without any problems.

"That didn't even hurt," I whisper in surprise. "Am I turning into a wolf?"

"That I don't know," she shakes her head. "Have you noticed your hearing and vision improving?"

"Not that I'm aware of," I mumble.

"I'm going to run more tests," she replies. "But if I'm correct, you're already a wolf. Whether or not you're going to be one after birth, remains to be seen."

"What about your research?" Axel asks. "The studies you read about the transfusions, doesn't that mention anything?"

"In all the cases, the women remained human," she sighs. "In fact, in all of the cases, this hasn't happened. If my suspicions are correct, this is a first." "Fuck me," I mumble.
