The Lycan Kingpin's Captive: A Baby For The Beast
BITTERSWEET PART 2 - PANZER AND DEMI

Liam

After almost three weeks of being without her and the second I smelled her scent, everything fellaway. This woman is everything to me. I never realized just how much she actually does mean to meuntil I went away.

I never want to fucking leave her side again.

I scoop her up into my arms and carry her back to her home. She lays her head against my chest,her hot tears slipping down my skin, but I don't ask her why she’s crying...because I feel the samefucking way.

Walking towards her ensuite bathroom, I regulate the water in the shower and put her down on thetiled floor. She peers up at me with that innocent smile and I feel my heart pounding in my chest.“It's good to know that my smile makes your heart rate pick up,” she says with a giggle. “I thought Iwas the only one affected.”

I shake my head and pull her into my arms. “You've had me the first moment I cornered you in theforest; I just didn’t realize how much I needed this at the time,” I say, before leaning down andplacing a kiss on her lips. “Fuck Demi, I never want to leave your side again.”

That gut-punch smile of hers is still there, but now she looks even more mischievous. “Well, my dearmate, that mark on your neck is there for a reason, don't you think?”

"Hmm," I say, as I pull her into the shower with me. The hot spray hits our cold skin and when I hearher moan, my cock twitches. “Gods, I will never tire of hearing you make that sound.”

“Liam!” she exclaims, a blush forming on her cheek, and I can do nothing but shrug. “You might justhave to give me a few minutes to recuperate after that, because that tree scratched me more thanyou did.”

She turns around and I notice the red marks on her back. Feeling guilty for fucking her so hardagainst a tree, I lean in close and place kisses all over her back.

Demi chuckles at this and makes a cross over her chest. “It's our little secret,” she says and lifts herglass to her lips. “As long as you get something sweet to keep my silence.”

“Deal,” I say, and she gives me that gut-punch smile again.

It's been a glorious few weeks with her being mine. I never understood the allure of a mate bonduntil I had one who claimed me as hers. Now I don’t ever want to know what it will feel like withoutone.

She’s my morning, afternoon, and evening; I want it to always be like this.

"So... have something to tell you,” she says with a coy smile playing on her lips. “But please promiseme you won't freak out.”

I raise my eyebrow at her. “Telling me not to freak out is a surefire way to get me to freak out,” I say,leaning back in my chair. “But sure, go ahead, beautiful.”

She still blushes when I call her that, and it looks as lovely as the first time she did it.

Reaching over the table, she takes my hand and looks into my eyes. “I know we didn't plan to haveanything happen, but I think we might have slipped up somewhere because...” she says, biting herbottom lip. “I'm pregnant, Liam.”

Everything around me falls silent, and the only thing I see and hear is her. She looks at meexpectantly, and before I know what I'm doing, I leap to my feet and scoop her into my arms.

She squeals when I spin her around, our happiness and excitement intermingling through ourseparate marks. I never thought about being a parent one day because I didn't want to bring anychildren into this fucked up world.

In fact, I didn’t know I wanted kids until a few minutes ago before Demi said she was pregnant withmy child. Now, I can see everything I want with her. The future is as clear as day and I want to spendevery waking moment with her like this.

“I love you, Demi,” I admit, saying the words we've both been tiptoeing over. Then I take her facegently in my hands and my voice shakes with emotion. “I love you so fucking much and I am sosorry for not admitting this sooner. You make my world a better place just by being in it, and Iwouldn't want to spend the rest of my life with anyone else.”

Tears slip down her cheeks as I bare my soul to her, finally admitting what she does to me.

“I love you too, Liam,” she says in a trembling voice, and I pull her close so she can feel my heartbeating so close to hers.

I breathe out a sigh and close my eyes, envisioning my future with her, but as soon as I open them,my heart fucking stops.

Behind us, Levi is standing across the way at another cafe with a smile on his face as he leansagainst a tree with his arms crossed over his chest.

He's grown out his hair, and it's hanging over his shoulders and he's wearing a fitted suit. His eyesflicker to a younger woman getting up from a table and walking over to him. When she sees him,she rolls her eyes as if he's an annoyance and he pushes away from the tree to follow her while sheprotests.

Then he nods his head at me before turning around and walking away.

Everything in me tells me to run after him, but I don’t know why he’s here or under whatcircumstances, it looks like he’s come to be a bodyguard of some sort. So I can do nothing but wishhim well in my heart and hope I'll see him someday again.
