Chapter 96

"We have to come clean. We have to tell her—we have to tell everyone. Oh my God we did a bad thing," she lamented, hyperventilating. He approached her and grabbed her shoulder. She calmed instantly before he even spoke because his eyes just told her everything she needs to be assured of.
 
"We are going to be fine, okay? We didn't do a bad thing... we just... we should've told everyone about us before it happened," said said calmly despite how dead scared he was of her father.
 
She nods her head. "We should tell Elise first, right? And see what she thinks. I mean, my father has been talking about finding a mate nonstop. I choose you."
 
He smiled at her, his eyes searching hers. How could he be this lucky? "We tell Elise first. I am so sure she'll approve of it."
 
"I totally agree," she said, giggling. "Oh, I can't wait to go public. It's so hard to not hug you or kiss you the way I want while we're in public." She pursed her lips, making his smile to grow wider.
 
"I love you, Kayla." Last year, if anyone told him he'd end up getting the Beta's daughter as his mate, he'd call them crazy. He'd laugh in their faces because she's out of his league and her father was the second strongest werewolf in their pack. He doesn't even stand a chance. But here he was, leaning to kiss her. His mate.
 
She gets this knot of excitement in her stomach when Sam leaned forward and presses his mouth to her, like he doesn't care that someone might walk into the cave and see them.
 
He hugs her close and kisses the top of her head. They stayed that way for couple of minutes. "What exactly do we tell our parents? Your father? Is he going to accept me as your mate?" Sam was a little bit worried for them. It's always the other way around in this kind of situation—the male is mostly the powerful one whereas the female is the omega. In their case, it's the other way round.
 
"He's... he'll learn to adapt. My father is a very understanding man. He'll approve of us. I choose you. You're my fated mate."
 
Her words gives him courage. It gives him confidence and makes him stronger that he is. He hugs her tighter, stroking her back. They're fated mates and they'll make it work. They have to make it work—for the thing they've done.
 
"Elise would be here any moment," Kayla murmured and he knew it was time to let go.
 
He nods and lets go of her. He guides her to the side of the water and settled down while they wait for Elise.
 
"But what if she says it's a bad idea? What if she doesn't approve of us? You know I can't do what Elise isn't pleased with—she's my best friend and she knows what's best for me."
 
He stares at her for couple of seconds before returning his eyes to the crystal clear water. No matter how much they'd swim in it or throw stones into it, it always stays clean and clear.
 
"I don't think Elise would ever say no to our relationship, especially now that you're..."
 
"Hey guys." Just walked in, interrupting him from finishing his sentence.
 
They both tensed up, making Elise smile to fade. She tilts her head and raised her eyebrow. "Everything alright?" She asked, looking between them.
 
Kayla and Sam shared a look and it got her more anxious than she didn't know she was feeling. Her smile entirely fades at the look at their faces.
 
"There's something we need to tell you. Just promise you'll be honest with us. We want your complete honesty," Sam told her. She swallowed hard and nodded as though her heart wasn't beating against her ribcage wildly.
 
Kayla sighed, approaching her. She grabbed Elise hands and rubbed her knuckles with her thumbs. "Sam and I are..." she halts and looked back at him.
 
Elise mouth was slightly parted, trying to register what they're trying to tell her. It took her a whole twenty seconds to comprehend what they meant.
 
"Oh..." she was never expecting that to happen. Her breath halts for several seconds. She can't move, she can't blink. "Oh..."
 
Kayla's eyebrows shoots up worriedly. "Oh, good? Or oh, bad?" She asked with full hope.
 
Elise looks at Sam—he's looking at her with pleading eyes. She can't say no to them. Its something she wasnt expecting but this is the greatest thing she'd ever heard in so long.
 
Her shocked expression turns to a huge smile. She nods, she keeps nodding. Kayla breathes out the air she's been holding. "Yes?" Elise nods again.
 
"She said yes," Kayla squealed, jumping up and down.
 
"Hey, hey careful," Sam said worriedly as he approached her. Her lays his hand on her back. She chuckled softly. "Sorry, I almost forgot."
 
Elise shoots them a quick distrustful look. "Forgot what?" She has one thing in mind. Sam just told Kayla to stop jumping. He looks concerned. It could only mean one thing...
 
"I'm pregnant," she announced.
 
Elise didn't even know how to react exactly. She hasn't even recovered from the first shocking news because she was worried about them. She was worried about Sam the most. Kayla's father may or may not approve. And they just made things harder for them by getting pregnant.
 
When she doesn't say a word, Kayla's face falls as her eyes became glassy. Her hands began to tremble because of the look on Elise's face.
 
"I was afraid of this. You don't think it would work out right? God, Sam why didn't you pull out!" She yelled at him, making him for frustrated.
 
Elise grabs her by her shoulders and shook her head. "No, no, Kayla. I'm so happy for you both. I'm happy that my best friends are in a relationship. I'm happy that you're going to have a baby. I'm just... your parents. Do they know?"
 
Kayla face darts down and Elise knew better. She heaves a sigh. "Well... you'll be fine, both of you. I'll be here to support your effortlessly. I'm really, truly happy." She extends her arms and the fall in.
 
"You're going to be okay."
