Chapter 12 - Alek

I knew something was off the minute I walked through the door.

I froze, nostrils flaring. Something was different, but I couldn’t figure out what. My skin prickled, then panic set in. Iris. Had her family somehow found her?

“Iris?” I yelled.

“In here.” Her voice came from the living room.

I instantly relaxed and let out a breath. I strolled over to the living room. She was curled up on the couch, biting her nails as she stared at nothing. Her eyes flicked to the doorway when I entered, and she gave me an uneasy smile.

“Hey,” she said.

“Hey yourself.” Her scent had changed. That was what was different. Her normal scent was there, but there was something mixed with it.

Then it hit me, and my mouth dropped open in shock. “You’re pregnant,” I blurted out without thinking.

Iris’s eyes narrowed, her brow furrowing in confusion. “How did you know?” Something like panic tinted the edges of her words. “I haven’t told anyone. I only just took the test—”

“I can smell it,” I said simply. “Your scent changed. I should have noticed this morning, but I was too exhausted when I was leaving for it to register.” I really wasn’t a morning person.

“You can smell me being pregnant?” she asked. Her face was blank, and I couldn’t determine if she was unnerved or fascinated.

“Yeah.”

“That explains why the woman at the counter winked at me when I bought the test,” she muttered, more to herself than anyone else.

“You’re pregnant,” I repeated.

Now that the initial shock had passed, the reality of the situation had hit. Iris was pregnant. I was happier than I could have imagined, and my wolf seemed just as content about it. I was going to be a dad. It was incredible.

But then, my muscles stiffened. Iris was human. I didn’t know how a human would handle a shifter baby.

I crouched beside her. “How are you feeling?” My hand went to her face, cupping it gently. “Any pain? Anything abnormal?”

“I don’t know. I don’t think so? Queasy, but that’s a given. But it isn’t like I’ve been pregnant before.” She leaned into my touch, closing her eyes and taking a deep breath. When she opened her eyes again, worry flickered there as she searched my face. “Is it going to be all right? You being a shifter, and me being a human?”

“I don’t know,” I admitted, chewing on my lip. The fact that I was going to be a dad was incredible. I couldn’t believe it, and I couldn’t believe how overwhelmingly happy I was about it. But it was marred over worry for Iris. I wasn’t going to be able to rest, much less celebrate, until I got answers. I stood.

“I’m going to call Klyte,” I said, already going for my phone.

Iris looked startled. “Do you have to?” she asked, her voice slightly more high-pitched than normal.

“They’ll find out eventually,” I told her. “And I trust Klyte. More importantly, he’s the best healer I know. I want him to take a look at you to make sure everything’s all right.
