CHAPTER 5

Dr. Rayne Davis was a smallish brunette with large eyes and a wonderful bedside manner. She was not only a Werewolf, she was one of the Pack’s top physicians, and Charley’s OB/GYN. She replaced the ultrasound wand and wiped the jelly off Charley’s exposed stomach with a tissue.

“Well?” Rafe’s face was grim with worry.

He’d been turning himself inside out with thoughts that something he’d done could have harmed his son or daughter. They’d decided early on to keep the sex a surprise.

Charley had thought it was because he was old-fashioned. He didn’t have the heart to tell her it was because, unfortunately, so many supernatural young didn’t survive birth. He wanted to ease any suffering she would surely feel if they lost the young by keeping it as clinical as possible. Nothing would stop the pain, but our mate is strong, his Wolf said in that corner of his mind’s eye reserved for his other half.

“Listen, is that his heart?” Charley smiled.

“Yes, he or she sounds perfect,” the doctor nodded.

His mate was so beautiful and fragile. His Carlotta sat against the examination table, swollen with his child, and he’d never wanted her more. He could kick himself for making her think he didn’t desire her. Hell, he couldn’t stop himself from touching her if he tried.

True, he’d sought the advice of the Pack elders without asking her, and he’d been told that sex wasn’t a good idea when your wife was pregnant. It could hurt the baby. However, the temptation of his luscious wife was almost too great for him to handle. Especially now that she carried his young. The truth was, he wanted her all the time! That was why he started sleeping in his office. And she thought he wanted to get away from her! As if!

He’d have to make it up to her. After the baby was born, and both mother and child were safe, he’d show her just how much he wanted her. Always.

He just needed them protected. His Wolf growled at the thought that they could be harmed. He had to work to reign in his beast.

Now that the Curse of St. Natalis, the one that had kept Werewolves from their beasts on all nights save the full moon for thousands of years, was close to being broken, Werewolves had to learn all over again how to control their Wolves full time. The moon still held sway, but not so much for Rafe. He figured it was because, as Alpha, he was the strongest in his Pack. Still, it was new, exciting and terrifying to feel his other half so keenly when the full moon was still weeks away.

His Wolf’s instincts to protect, honor, obey and love his mate was awesome, but the man needed to remain in control. Yes, Charley craved that explosive physical contact that was so strong between them, but Rafe spent the last few months fighting hard against it.

Sleeping next to her sweet, soft form last night had damn near done him in.
