Chapter 100 An extra marital affair… is it?
100\. An extra marital affair… is it?
Aura's POV
My entire body hurts. I feel exhausted all the time. It is difficult to pull myself on my two feet which are swollen and red till my ankles. Once I have dinner, I would not leave the bed at any cost as it is very bothersome. I can't hop out with this big belly blocking my front view.
"Damien, I want to pee." I tried to get on my feet and hit the washroom.
He looked up from his laptop with a tired look. I pity my poor husband. There are double responsibilities burdening his shoulders ever since I entered the eighth month of my pregnancy.
He has to take care of me and his business side by side. If not me then his work is bothering him. He is frustrated half of the time since he started working from home.
It makes me love him more and more though. He is pissed and loses his mind to some extent but he would never let me be alone.
"Why are you so quiet?" I kissed his nose as he came to pick me.
He would not smile. His golden eyes lack their usual luster and I know my pregnancy is taking a toll on him. He is grinding along with me. The baby is in my womb but he can feel the pain as I can't help but call for him whenever I feel a kick or get hit by the mood swings.
"Nothing, I am just sleepy while there is a whole lot to finish before calling it a night." He said while placing me on the floor in the washroom.
Before I read his expressions, he turned around and stood facing his back towards me. It is not needed but Damien always moves around each time he brings me to the washroom to empty my bladder. He is so gentlemanly of him. I have told him it is not needed, he would not listen to me. He says that even though I am his, he would never interfere with my private space.
Once I was done, I flushed the toilet and pulled my maternal pants on. I got up and was about to call Damien. But he does not seem to be in his senses. He is zoned out. Or else there is no way my wolf husband could not have heard me flashing or stretching up my pants to my round belly.
A devilish idea clouded my mind. I discarded my clothes and stood in my spot holding my baby, "I am done."
He would not move. It made me growl and call his name louder, "Damien, I am done."
Swiftly he swung around after flexing his shoulders. My heart fluttered as I watched his eyebrows rise and the corner of his lips go under a painful clasp of his teeth.
"Oh, come on, you are not doing that with that round belly of yours, are you?" He ran a hand through his hair and looked away.
That's so like my sexy Damien. The shine in his eyes and color in his face was back. He was bright and amused.
Damien dragged himself step by measured step across from me. His warm hands tickled my waist as he placed his hands around my curved belly and snuggled my neck.
"I dare you to do this when the baby is out of your bag, my kangaroo." That was nasty but I can't help laughing.
He kissed my neck and bent down to share some love with our baby. He hugged my waist and pressed his cheek on my tummy. Damien lingered there with his eyes closed. My fingers trespassed in the thick forest of his hair to massage his scalp. This was lovely.
"Ouch!" The baby kicked me again.
Damien looked up, poured and then dropped a kiss right above my popped out belly button as if sharing my pain.
"That hurts a lot, doesn't it?"
"You can't even imagine." I reply and soon I am in his arms.
The helpless kick in my stomach sucked out all my naughty mood. All that I wished for was the comfort of the bed with Damien's hand acting as my pillow.
"I love you a lot, sweetheart. You are my heartbeat and that little pumpkin is my heart." He smiled before my heavy stuttering lashes.
I mouthed a small 'I love you too' and closed my eyes to the sight of his body laying down on the edge of the bed on my side as he caressed my hair. Under the relaxing strokes of his fingers, I drifted off to sleep.
Damien very smoothly slipped his hand out from under Aura's head. He covered her with a duet and left the room without making any noise.
Having come to his study, he decided to give a call to Brian. But just as he picked his phone he got a message from Brian:
If you are thinking of calling me, don't do it. We are still trying to track the sender and his location. I'll tell you when it's done. Still working on it.
It was sent with an emoticon depicting Brian's weariness. The mail received had put all of them (who knew) in a position where rest and sleep were the last choices they desired to opt.
Damien let out a broken sigh and opened his laptop. He was supposed to focus on his work but the logo of the mail caught his eyes. Unwillingly he opened it and accessed the email he'd received. The more he read, the harder his shoulders stiffened and the heavier his breaths developed.
Who would want to hurt his child and mate? There was no particular name coming in his mind.
All the risky enemies had been taken care of long ago after he discovered he was expecting a baby. Damien had made sure all the risks and their sources were eliminated before he began his life as a married man with the love of his life. He could think of no one out there in the open who would mean harm to his happy life.
Peter... Even he was evaluated under the dungeons. His condition was pathetic. With a broken ankle and half of his fingernails removed, he was helpless. That fcking molester was living a miserable life. Two of his ribs were also ripped and he was punished to live with that damaged body. Damien's eyes of suspicion hardly ever stared at him.
Rest other perilous enemies were either in dungeons or sent away. His head hurt as he stressed as to who it could be.
Just then his cell phone buzzed. Damien quickly closed the laptop and picked the call, "Yes, Mike." It was the guard watching the iron gates before his empyreal mansion.
"Alpha, there is a lady requesting your presence. She claims to be someone closer to you." He said.
It caused the Alpha's mouth to hiss and then sigh, "Did you ask her name?"
"Yes Alpha, she goes by the name Maria Nixon." Alpha Damien's eyes widened as he felt his stomach clench.
He froze like the leaves of a tree being hit by stormy cold winds. Color from his cheeks was replaced with dead paleness as he tried to breath.
"Should I send her away, Alpha?" The guard's voice rang. Damien also heard a soft feminine voice in the background and his rigid shoulders tightened even more.
"No, don't. I'm coming out to see her. Ask her to wait." He said urgently and cut the call.
Tbc...
