Alpha’s Virgin Stripper

THREE DAYS LATER

Jojo:

“Get the candles, Ley!” Mel screamed from where she stood. Frankly, I did not understand why we had to put candles on the “Welcome to this world, baby Lucian” cake, but for reasons best known to her, Mel insisted – and I mean vehemently – that we put nine candles on the cake to signify the nine months he spent in my womb.

What did I know? I had to listen of course! Besides, it was cute seeing her, Valerie and Mrs Smith carefully plan preparations for Lucian’s “welcome to world” party, as they liked to call it.

I sat beside his cradle, breast feeding him. I noticed that my baby had a very large appetite, he was hungry for over sixteen hours in a day and I had to be available to breastfeed him over what? Ten times a day? It always stressed me out, but once his toothless gums attached themselves to my nipples, I always felt closer to him. Infact, I wanted nothing more than to breastfeed him all day.

The party was only going to consist of our usual crowd – Mel, Valerie, Mrs Smith, my mother, Anthony and I. Oh! And a new addition – but Mrs Smith made more than enouhb appetizers and desserts to feed the entire Ten! Okay, that was an awful exaggeration, but I’m sure you get my point.

She made me taste all the samples of appetizers and desserts and constantly made me taste the cake mixture before it was put in the oven. If I did not know better – which I was not sure I did, to be honest – I would have thought they were planning a secret wedding along with the party. No! Do not tell me my thoughts are running wild. If you had a best friend like Mel and an aunty like Mrs Smith, not to forget a sister like Valerie Wyatt, you would know that they could do anything, and I mean anything.

Mel and Valerie had gone shopping the previous day and got me a very pretty sky blue dress. It really warmed my heart because sky blue was my favorite colour. The dress had flowers all over it, and clung to my skin, tracing my curves down to the sole of my feet. The sleeves were made of a netflike material, and my hair as held up in a neat bun above my head. She let two lose curls fall to the front of my face and adored my hair with a matching sky blue hair pin, shaped like a butterfly.

Standing in front of the grand mirror in Mel’s room, I looked and felt like a fairytale princess, with my prince charming in my arms. Who is my prince charming? Who do you think! No one other than my pretty boy, my baby Lucian.

Mel made him a matching sky blue shirt and pants. His round black eyes continued to stare at me while I watched myself in the mirror. From the voices I could hear downstairs, I could tell Ashley and Anthony had arrived.

Yes! Ashley was my new surprise guest.

I called her two days ago to let her know I had given birth, seeing as she was not aware of my pregnancy when I left Rush pack. I could not remember telling anyone there, apart from the doctor who gave me my test result, that I was pregnant.

“Jojo! Are you serious? Oh my shivering spines! I am so happy for you! You mean, you’re the mother of a beautiful baby boy now? I mean, you’re all grown up and all! Does the alpha know? They are all going to hide their faces when they find out you’re the mother of the heir to Rush pack? And Zita! By the goddess, she would smash her head on a rock! Just wait till I tell them you…” She was so excited, I had barely had time to cut in and stop her from putting me into trouble by spreading the news of my pregnancy around Rush Empire. The fewer the people that knew of my son’s birth in Rush, the better. I knew I could not hide Lucian from Rush since his father was currently the alpha, but it was better everyone was kept in the dark, at least for now.

“Hold on, Ash.” I had cut in.

She scoffed.

“Are you kidding me, Jo? This is your ticket to making everyone bow at your feet! You’re what now? The new luna?!”

“No, no. I’m not the Luna, I am never going to be the Luna queen and I need you to be as quiet about this as possible. Do not tell a soul, Ashley. I mean it. Promise me you will stay silent about this.”

She was hesitant, believe me, but I soon managed to convince her to give me her word, it was necessary. I also used that oppurtunity to invite her to the party, so I could tell she had arrived when I heard her voice.

Immediately I was ready, I walked down the stairs with Lucian in my arms. Mrs Smith helped me hold him while I went forward to embrace Ashley. She held me tight, so tight I could barely breathe.

“Oh my goodness, Jo! I am so happy for you! You look so pretty! I have to hold baby Lucian, I really do.” Just like that, she dashed away from me. I could tell she had rushed to Mrs Smith to carry him.

Next on the line was Anthony. He held a wrapped gift box in his hand and placed it on the sofa when he saw me. A small smile formed on his face, and I returned it eagerly. I had barely seen him, but I know he had been coming around often. Mrs Smith always told him I was resting, and she was not wrong. But, I was glad to be able to see him now, it really sucked not being able to.

I walked closer to him and he pulled me into his arms and wrapped his hands firmly around me. I was taken aback, but I soon relaxed. Anthony always had a way of making me feel comfortable, but it was nothing compared to the way my heart skipped in the arms of the alpha.

Shit! I shook my head firmly, as though it would cause the thoughts to disappear.

He placed a soft kiss on my right cheek and sniffed my hair.

No butterflies danced in my stomach.

Seriously, I had to stop.

The comparison was unnecessary and unhealthy, especially for me.Published by Nôv'elD/rama.Org.

Once he released me from his grip, he looked over me and was about to speak, but I did not need him to. I did not think it was good to be around him now, not with his feelings for me and not with whatever it was I was feeling with the alpha – not that it was anything to be worried about. I was already very clear on the nature of our relationship.

“Let’s just enjoy the party, shall we?” I cut in.
