Rejected Mate
Chapter thirty: a pregnancy time of year

The minute we reach the pack boundary, I sit up in my seat more in readiness for what will comenext; as we cross the border, I hear all my pack members voice welcoming us home after they feltmy presence enter the pack property.

I watch as we slowly get closer to the packhouse, making my nerves hick in; please, everything beokay, I think to myself before Hazyn takes his hand off the wheel and grabs my thigh, giving it areassuring squeeze that everything will be fine.

I know Ben can look after the pack. He's done it plenty of times before, but I don't want the pack tobe destroyed when I've just taken over, and at times we couldn't contact the pack at all while away,which didn’t help my nerves.

I notice the packhorse in the distance approaching faster than before, still intact after our time away;I let out a sigh of relief, knowing that everything is okay with the pack.

As we pull up to the pack, I jump out of the car and rush to my office, where I notice ben bent overmy desk asleep.

“Hello, sleepyhead”, I giggle, making him open his eyes and jump up out of my seat.

"Alpha, how was the trip?” Ben questions making me shake my head

"Good up until the end; that was just complicated but never mind that what's going on here?” Iquestion, making ben flip through the paperwork.

“I caught up on all your paperwork and have sent it all away. Everything here just needs to be filedaway; we had a rouge enter our lands for a slip second yesterday but got spooked off immediately,so ran back into no man's land, and Ashley wants to see you in our room at some point today to tellyou what's going on with her” ben smiles I nod my head

“I'll go there now and see what is going on; thank you, ben” I smile great-fully before leaving theoffice and heading towards their room.

Once I arrive at their door, I knock twice, waiting for Ashley. Once she opens the door, I am grabbedby my jumper and pulled into the bedroom

"What's up with you" I laugh out, confused about why she was in such a rush to pull me into theroom

“I have some news, and I'm not ready to tell the pack yet, but I need your help”, Ashley responds. Isit down on the end of their bed and look at her expectantly wonder what's going on.

“I'm pregnant, but I was so excited to tell you, and then I heard you come home. I rushed to thetoilet so we could go do something after I told you, and I noticed I am having some bleeding,”Ashley cries; I jump up and hug her.

“Let's get you to the doctor” I smile reassuringly.

“time skip*

“Is she okay” I question Carol as she exits the room.

“I can't tell you much, but yes, she’s okay” she smiles before motioning me into the room.

"What's going on?” I question as I rush into the room.

“Everything is fine; I'm having twins”, she smiles, making me look at her in shock. Before I can sayanything else, Ben rushes into the room.

“I'll be in my office if you need me" I smile, taking my leave.

I can't believe we're about to have twins in the packhouse; I'm actually excited about this. 08
