Garrett
His eyes moved over her and landed right on her stomach as Huntley roused inside his mind,
at the excitement that was starting to build inside his human, which was now filtering into his
beast; it had woken his wolf, and he was curious himself and wanted to look Harmony for himself, when he realised why Garrett was so very happy, all of a sudden.
Yes, she was definitely pregnant, and Garrett could smell it now, pick it up for what it was, now that he understood what was going on with her. How sweet she smelled to him. He felt
Huntley focus solely on that particular thing; her being pregnant.
Garret was shifted all the way to the back of his mind, as Huntley pushed forward to take full
control of him, a second later. Garrett prayed that Harmony wouldn’t regain consciousness
while his beasts‘ brilliant green eyes stared down at her, assessing her for what he thought was their own pup growing inside of her. He didn’t want her to wake up and see his beast on
the surface and become scared of them.
Huntley lifted her face all the way up to his, as his head tilted a little ‘What’s wrong with her?‘
he asked as he realised, she was not conscious.
‘She threw up and then fainted is all.‘ Garrett told him. ‘Stated wasn’t feeling so well.‘
He watched as Huntley assessed her himself, her heart rate; it was good and strong and her breathing was regular and even, she had simply just fainted; pregnant women were known to
do that.
He moved his face right to hers and looked at her for a long moment. Then he just leaned
down and buried his face right into her neck and smelled her all long and deep, trying to scent
the truth of the matter. She smelled soft and sweet like a cinnamon donut to his beast and he
purred just a little as he detected the scent of his own pup.
His hand moved gently over her abdomen slowly, almost as if caressing it, and he could feel the steady and furiously beating heartbeat, the warmth that radiated off of the fetus inside of her, indicating it was wolfen and not human, their body temperature ran hotter.
Then, after just a moment of standing there, all his wolfen senses listening, smelling and feeling the growing fetus inside of Harmony, he growled softly ‘our pup. Before receding to the
back of Garrett’s mind once more.
Garrett stared down at Harmony, still unconscious in his arms, and a smile touched his face

as he looked at her. She was so very lovely, and their one night of pleasure had seen them conceive his pup. A soft chuckle escaped him at the thought of it, as he pulled her body up against his, and he held her to him.
That smile turned into a full–blown grin as he just stood there and cradled her in his arms. He
couldn’t scent her out as his Mate but that didn’t mean Huntley wouldn’t have picked something up just now, smelling her all deep like that, ‘Mate?‘ he asked his beast.
‘Unknown, but that is definitely our pup growing inside of her.’
His eyes moved about the room as he wondered what to do with her, and he realised it was
now Christmas Eve, as his eyes saw the clock on the wall, it was three in the morning.
Harmony was giving him, Alpha Garrett: a baby for Christmas. It was the best damned
Christmas present he’d ever gotten.
He was allowing his mind to wander a moment later as he leaned back on the bench behind
him and just let her body rest on his, one hand on the small of her back, and the other up at
the base of her neck, to hold her to him. ‘
He thought about all he had seen with her over the past few days, and he understood right in that moment, all the things he’d seen, the way she’d gripped her lower abdomen at her desk,
and stated she had cramps; that was growing pains.
Ryan had stated she wasn’t feeling well, was tired; how quickly she had fallen asleep in his
office. That was her body needed proper rest, to allow for the growth of their child. She was carrying an Alpha pup, which would grow rapidly compared to that of a human child.
She was going to feel exhausted at times and have more cramping sensations, possibly even
pain at times. But that sweet smell about her, that had made him want to eat a donut this
morning, that was the scent of her carrying his pup. Sweet and delicious to him, like his favourite treat. He did enjoy a good cinnamon donut. He could eat half a dozen of them at
times. He liked not only the smell but the taste as well.
‘Wyatt.‘ He mind–linked to his Beta, and he didn’t even try to keep the excitement out of his
voice.
‘What is it?‘ came back the reply.
‘Harmony is pregnant.‘ Burst out of him with a half laugh.
‘What?‘
He could feel his Beta on the move now, and quickly so with the pack tether, and then just 10
seconds later he was standing in the cafeteria doorway staring at him wide–eyed “Who’s?” he

asked.
Garrett smiled right at him as he hugged her a little, “Mine. Huntley can tell, can smell it.” he looked down at her “She smells like a cinnamon donut to me.” he laughed. Then he looked back at his Beta, “I even thought that this morning, made me want to eat a donut, when I sat next to her, but I didn’t put two and two together, she’s on birth control.”
“She is I checked that myself,” Wyatt nodded “What’s wrong with her?” he asked him, stepping
into the room. His head tilted as he assessed her himself.
“She fainted.” He told him and then looked at her “Shit.” He muttered, he had been too consumed with joy to think about her state and getting her off to the pack doctor. “Better get her to the pack hospital.” he leaned down and scooped her up bridal style, and was on the
move a moment later.
They were both staring at her in the elevator, her head resting on his chest all curled up like.
she belonged right there, and he bit his lip and tried to stop smiling about it, but he just
couldn’t stop smiling, couldn’t hold it in at all.
“Your mother is going to go nuts,” Wyatt snorted, “and she’s going to tell both your sisters to
get pregnant as well.”
“What? Oh, hell no we can’t tell her.” he murmured “No, we need to keep this under wraps for
the moment, Harmony doesn’t even know we’ve slept together, she doesn’t even know she’s
pregnant, I don’t think.”
“Unlikely, Ryan would have picked up on that if she knew. I highly doubt she’s thinking it.”
Wyatt nodded. “I agree, I don’t think she knows.”
“We have to keep it quiet for now, Goddess, if mother finds out, she will have me dating her in
less than a second, with a view to Marking and Mating her.”
“Like you wouldn’t want to. You’re grinning like the Cheshire Cat right now,” Wyatt laughed and
pointed right at him, “Happy as can be, how the hell are you going to keep that smile from
your mother?”
“I don’t know.” He snorted. “Best we think about that and come up with a plan.”
“Ah, you’ve got a bigger problem than that, I think,” Wyatt murmured as they stepped out onto
the fourth floor and into the hospital.
“And that would be?” Garret asked him, a little confused.
A mind–link was established to him from Wyatt so no one in the ward would hear them, ‘She
3/5
CH 28
doesn’t know the two of you have slept together, you just stated that yourself. So she is never
going to believe that baby is yours, likely to think it’s Damien’s.'”
His eyes moved right to his Beta as he realised the man was right, she was going to think it
was Damien Blackwells child. ‘Shit.‘ He muttered, and the smile was gone from his face. That
was a dilemma that had to be sorted out and very quickly. No human was laying claim to his
child.
He had no idea how long it would take for her to deliver the child either. She was human, and
even if she was his Mate, come the next full moon, and he now would be standing right there
in front of her or nearby to find out.
He couldn’t just go and Mark and Mate her, he had to do this the human way. He certainly
couldn’t Mark and Mate her while she was pregnant, so that was going to have to be put off
into the future as well. Though he could probably mate her, maybe if he was gentle about it.
But he definitely could not Mark her at all. That would bring about her body’s need to shift on
the following full moon if she was to get a wolf herself, and that would destroy their pup. So
no Marking until after the pup was born.
He saw his doctor, Kristen, coming down the ward. “Alpha what is it?”
“My secretary passed out, I can feel she’s with child, I don’t think she knows, threw up, then told me she felt terrible and passed right out.”
“Oh, bring her this way.” he followed her to a ward and put Harmony on a bed, “How far along would you know?”
He nodded “a few weeks I’d say.” He stated but said nothing more about that, he’d already done the math, 18 days. “She’s not really eaten much or drank much today.” He stated changing the subject, as he stood watching Kristen attended to a set of Ob’s and inserted a cannula then hooked her up to an IV a moment later to run fluids.
“She does look a bit on the worn–out side.” She stood and stared up at him. “I’ll do some bloods, and we’ll see how far along she is. organise a first ultrasound depending on what she tells me about how far along she thinks she is.”
“Alright.” He nodded and grabbed a chair to sit, only to have her stare at him, and then Wyatt grabbed him by the arm and pulled him from the room. Mind–linked to ‘That will be the quickest way of your mother finding out; you have a pup on the way‘ he chuckled ‘you and Ryan are going to have to contain yourselves. We also need a plan of action.‘
‘I need to be there when she wakes up.’ he commented without much thought.

‘No, you don’t. Not unless you want your mother standing there staring at you. An Alpha sitting at a pregnant woman’s bedside. Regardless of human or she–wolf, that will speak volumes. You’re going to have to contain yourself if you want to keep this from your mother, contain. yourself for as long as you don’t want your mother to know.‘
