Chapter 145: Hide and Seek 288 iVouchers Chapter 145: Hide and Seek Sophie I’m so excited that my friends are coming to visit. I was fine spending time with Jocelyn, even if she’s angry and feels betrayed by me for finding my mate, but it will be easier with my friends and fellow Lunas here. It will also take some of the pressure off of Kinsley, who I think felt badly that Lucas was upset about her being the only one who knows something of what Jocelyn is going through. The Alpha call is later today, but this morning, Hunter and I are going to see Dr. Felicity to check on Huntington, my little Hunt, as I’ve started calling him. I haven’t said it out loud but since my mate is always listening in to my thoughts, I’m pretty sure he’s heard me calling our son Hunt. And since he hasn’t complained, I guess he doesn’t mind. “Why do you always wake up with so many thoughts in your head,” Hunter grumbles as he rolls on his side and pulls me against him. “If you don’t want me to wake up thinking about life, you should make sure that I wake up thinking about you,” I say, sending him an image of him between my thighs, looking up at me with eyes that are nearly black with desire. “Mmmm, what a great idea, but instead of you being on the bottom, let’s shift that. Little Hunt is getting a bit too big for that position,” he says, rolling onto his back and pulling me over his body to straddle him. 0.00% Chapter 145: Hide and Seek 288 iVouchers “So, you do like the name?” I ask as he maneuvers me to straddle his face. “Is that really what you want to talk about right now?” he asks me before latching onto my clit. I’ll admit that I forgot all about my son, his name, and everything else that is pressing on my mind

for at least an hour while Hunter made sure that I focused solely on him and us. Then, just as my brain was kicking back in, he took me in the shower, distracting me yet again. When we finally get out of the shower, Hunter drops to his knees in front of me. “Sorry little man, daddy will always make sure he comes first in my mother’s mind, but you can be a close second,” he says, kissing my stomach and standing before kissing me too. When I catch the tenor of his thoughts, a third, a fourth, and a fifth, Hedda begins purring loudly, loving the idea of giving our mate so many pups. “Let’s get dressed and go see our pup,” Hunter says excitedly. We walk downstairs, hand in hand, just as the warriors are walking in from training. “How’d it go?” Hunter asks Lucas, looking at Jaime. Lnotice several of the warriors are limping slightly and grumbling more loudly than usual. ‘Jaime’s a natural. He pushed our warriors hard today,” Lucas says proudly. “Penny did too. It wasn’t just me,” he says, smiling over at his 14.99% Chapter 145: Hide and Seek 288 Vouchers. mate. “Penny is tough, but she’s no drill sergeant like you are. Seriously, Hunter, you have to come to training tomorrow,” Lucas says. “I will, but this morning we’re going to see our pup,” he says, smiling down at me. “Oh that’s exciting! Kinsley and I have our appointment next week since we’re a bit behind you two in the baby department.” “Not by much,” I say, watching as Leah walks to Brutus, smiling up at him. “Where does my big warrior hurt?” she asks him. “Right here,” he says, pointing to his bicep muscle. Her smile widens as she kisses his muscle. “And right here,” he says, pointing to his chest. She watches him as she reaches up to kiss his chest. “But it mostly it hurts right here,” he says, pointing to his lips.

I chuckle as she leans up to give him a peck, but Brutus pulls her to him, kissing her deeply. “I hurt too,” Lucas says as Kinsley walks up, making her laugh. Lucas’ smile is huge at seeing his mate happy and he pulls her in for a hug. “Let’s get you some food, Sophie, and then we can go.” “What time is the Alpha meeting?” Lucas asks as we get our food and sit down. 16:05 Chapter 145: Hide and Seek 11 288 Vouchers “Two o’clock. I’m going to bring Sophie in with me, in case my mate has any more genius ideas that I didn’t think of,” he says, leaning over to kiss me. “I’m not sure I’ve ever had a ‘genius’ idea in my life,” I say, rolling my eyes. “Hey, my mate is brilliant. Never underestimate her,” he says seriously, before kissing me to take the severity out of his tone. I know he means it. I know he thinks I’m intelligent and intuitive. I try to be. I try harder because I know that he loves and respects that part of me. “Besides, I’m planning to play hide and seek with my son. He’s getting bigger, so hiding is getting harder for him,” he says, .smiling as his eyes go unfocused. I get the flash of joyful emotions as he thinks about playing with our son later. Goddess, I love this man. He, of course, catches my thought and leans over to kiss me again. ‘He loves you too,’ he says in the mind link as he kisses me. When we’re done, we walk hand in hand to the pack hospital. Pack members consistently stop us to say hello to us, let their pups say hello, or wave at us from farther distances. Everyone, the entire pack, feels settled and happy, with the possible exception of the survivor’s center. There is a constant state of sadness from that part of the pack. When we get inside, I see Brooklyn, talking to a couple of the nurses.

“Brooklyn,” Hunter calls out. She turns, smiling and after saying 16:05 Chapter 145 Hide and Seek 288 Vouchers goodbye to the nurses, she comes over. Hunter smiles at her. “What’s this I hear about a new mate mark?” Her smile only gets wider as she pulls the nursing scrubs away from her neck. “It’s beautiful. Dr. Caspian’s mark looks very good on you,” Hunter tells her, making her beam with happiness. “Hers looks good on me too,” Dr. Caspian says, walking up and showing off his mark. “Very nice,” I say to him. “Alpha, when you have time, I’d like to talk to you about Brooklyn and I travelling around to the other packs. Luna Allison, Luna Nikki, and Lunas Tiffany and Tammi are all pregnant. I’d like to go check them out.” “Allison and Nikki will be here in a week, Dr. Caspian. We can make sure that they get time to see you. But I’m sure we can do without your services for a short while if you go to Alpha Dutton’ pack,” Hunter says. S “Maybe you could stop in and see Amelia as well?” I ask him. “If she’s willing, I’d like that. I don’t need to be the premiere doctor for the Lunas, or in your sister’s case, Alphas. Obviously, you’re seeing Dr. Felicity today, but I know not every doctor has the obstetrical background that I do.” “I’ll talk to Amelia today and see if she’s willing,” I say, making a note to ask Amelia before the Alpha call starts today. 56.92% 16.95 Chapter 145: Hide and Seek 11 228 Nouchers

When I get to our room and settled on the bed, Dr. Felicity comes in, smiling broadly. “I can’t wait to see our Alpha heir. Benefits of being a doctor, I get to see all the pack’s babies first,” she says. This time when she runs the ultrasound over my stomach, the outline of our son is clear. We don’t need her to tell us where his body parts are, they’re all very obvious. I squeeze Hunter’s hand as I feel his strong emotions blending with mine. “Doctor, can I try something?” he asks. “Of course,” she says, starting to pull away. “No, no, leave that there,” he says, watching the monitor intently as he reaches out and puts his hand on my stomach. Instantly, our son responds, moving closer to his father’s hand. Hunter smiles widely as he moves his hand and little Hunt follows him. “It really is hide and seek,” he says, turning to smile at me, before turning back. I reach out and rub my mate’s back, feeling the surge of emotions inside him. He leans down, putting his mouth to my stomach. “I love you, Huntington. We can’t wait to meet you,” he says, and we all watch as our son moves, pressing himself closer to where Hunter is talking to him. Shaw begins to purr loudly, the sound reverberating through the room and my body. My little Hunt presses himself against his father’s mouth, as if he’s curling up against him to fall asleep. It’s the sweetest thing I’ve ever seen in my life. “Soon, little man. Very soon I’ll be holding you in my arms and purring you to sleep,” Hunter whispers. 16.05 Chapter 145: Hide and Seek 288 Vouchers When he pulls back, I realize that I’m crying and I’m not the only one. Dr. Felicity is also crying, and Hunter has tears in his eyes. “That’s the most beautiful thing I’ve ever seen,” she says, wiping her eyes. We all watch as Hunt settles back into my stomach and Dr. Felicity gets tissues for me and her. “I’ll get the pictures printed before you leave,” she says, quickly exiting the room as if embarrassedConTEent bel0ngs to Nôv(e)lD/rama(.)Org .

that she’s crying in front of us. “That was incredible,” Hunter says, helping me off the table. “It really was,” I say as he pulls me into a hug. We stand there a moment, just enjoying this moment is silence and peace, just the three of us. When we step out of the room, Dr. Felicity hands us our pictures. Hunter takes them excitedly and begins to look through them. I watch from beside him and gasp when he gets to the one where he stops. Dr. Felicity took a picture of Huntington leaning against my stomach, trying to get to his father as he purred at him. “I want this one,” he says softly. “You can have them all,” Dr. Felicity says. “He was talking to me,” I say, smiling at Dr. Felicity. “He wants this one in his office.”
