The Alpha's Special Mate novel Chapter 21

Jace's POV

I was out helping the patrols deal with the increase in rogue attacks. I have been out here fighting and helping deal with them and then all of a sudden they just stopped almost like someone called them off which was weird especially for rogues. Since they were gone I was finally able to go back to the pack house and shower all the mud, dirt, and blood off of me, I noticed that Skylar wasn't around when I saw a note on the bed letting me know that she went for a drive to the mall and would be back soon. I shower and get dressed in some black jeans, a grey t-shirt, and some black high top shoes, as soon as I was dressed I get a mind link from Skylar for me to meet her in the clearing behind the pack house. Once I got that I basically ran down the stairs and bounded across the back yard heading for the path that led to the clearing.

Once I get on the path I slow my pace a little bit excited to see my mate and to find out why she wanted me to meet her out here when the clearing comes into sight I can see Skylar sitting on a fallen log in a beautiful simple blue sundress with blue wedges on staring out across the little pond that was in the middle of the clearing. After I stood there admiring my gorgeous mate for a little bit longer I decide to finally walk over to her and grab her into a big hug and kiss her on the cheek.

"Hellos gorgeous how was your day?" I ask her turning her around so I can gently kiss her plump pink lips.

"It was productive and eventful" She says kissing me back with a little more force then I did.

"Eventful huh. So why don't you tell me what was so eventful about it darling" I ask her out of sheer curiosity. She pulls away blushing as she starts to fidget with her fingers.

"Well I do have some news for you and I also have a gift for you as well" she says staring at the ground

"Okaii well what is the news then darling, you know you can tell me anything: I reassure her grabbing her hands in mine.

"I know baby but before I tell you the news I want you to open the gift I have for you first." She says to me finally looking me in the eyes. She makes me sit on the log before handing me the mystery gift as she kneels on the ground in front of me. I look at her curiously for a few moments before I start taking out the tissue paper and putting it on the ground beside me and then I pull out a little pair of booties, then a little pair of mittens, followed by some weird looking pictures, and finally I pull out a piece of black clothing that I turn over and unfold seeing that the front of it says 'Daddy's Little Monster' on it with a little monster on it. I look at Skylar who has a giant smile on her face as she looks back at me with so much love and happiness swirling around in her beautiful eye's that are on the verge of tears.

"Darling does this mean what I think it means?" I ask her so quietly I didn't think she heard me but she did.

"Yes it does baby, I'm pregnant. You're going to be a father." Skylar says to me nodding her head in happiness as the tears start falling down her flushed cheeks. I smile so wide that it hurts and I grab her and spin her around laughing. As I put her down and hug her close I kiss her so hard with happiness she starts to cry even more. When we finally pull away I realize the most obvious thing in the world that I was surprised that neither of us caught on to it before.

"So that would explain why you kept getting sick over these past few months" I say looking down at her

"Yeah I guess so. I just thought it was because of the full moon and the transformation that the possibility of me being pregnant didn't even cross my mind" Sky says resting her head on my chest. I gather up all of our things and we hold hands as we head back to the pack house agreeing to keep this between the two of us for a little bit before we tell the pack since we will be going back to our pack in a couple of days since our work here is done and since Skylar is now pregnant I want to be at home where I know I can protect her better from this unknown threat.
