THE ALPHA’S LITTLE ROGUE

Chapter 130

A month later. Alessia’s POV It’s so hard to keep p it a secret. I’ve been hiding the fact that I’m pregnant from Caden for a few weeks now. I want to tell him as a gift on his birthday which is just a week from now. It is hard to keep such a thing a secret when I’m sharing the same space with the man 24/7 but I want to believe that I’m doing a very good job. Right now, we’re laying on the bed with my head on Caden’s shoulders as he plays with my hair. “What do you want us to call our baby?” I ask then quickly add, “I mean, it isn’t bad for us to start thinking of names now. Not that I’m pregnant or anything.” I cringe after I’m done, wishing that I had just kept quiet from the very beginning. It will be a miracle if Caden still hasn’t figured out what’s going on here. “I was thinking Anna. It’s after my mother, Caden answers, twirling a piece of my hair around his fingers. “It would be nice if we could name our daughter after her.” “Anna,” I repeat, trying the name out for a spin. “It’s a lovely name.” The fact that it holds a sentimental value to him makes the name more beautiful “And if it’s a boy, then I’m thinking Caden Jr. I don’t need to crane my head up to know that he has a stupi d smirk on his face. I scoff and hit him on his chest -something that I’ve taken great pleasure in doing now that his wound is completely healed “I’m not going to be calling our son Caden Jr,’ I say, rolling my eyes. “He needs a name of his own.” “Well, we have a long time to think of a name for him or her. It’s not like they’re going to be here in a few months.” Caden’s fingers slide through my hair to my back and he wraps his arm around my waist, pulling me closer. I stiffen at his words. “It wouldn’t be terrible if we had a name now though.” I try to smoothen it all out with a casual shrug. “Is there something that you want to tell me?” Caden asks suspiciously. His finger slides under myNôvel/Dr(a)ma.Org - Content owner.

chin and tip my head up to meet his gaze. “What are you hiding?” He asks with an arched brow. “Nothing.” I say hurriedly and swallow around a lump in my throat. “I’m not hiding anything, I add for good measure. “You do know that you’re a terrible liar, right?” He questions with an annoying smile on his face. “I can smell it all over you.” Now, I’m just starting to get annoyed. “I’m not lying,” I object defensively, leveling Caden with a glare and pulling away from him. He drags me right back into his arms. “We’ve been living together for months, Alessia. Do you really think that I wouldn’t notice that something is going on with you?” “You know?” I ask in disbelief. “Probably before you even figured it out,” he brags. 1/2 Dreame 2/2 Chapter 130 Groaning. I cover my face with my hands and bury my face into his chest as it burns in embarrassment. To think I thought I had Caden fooled for weeks, while he was probably laughing within himself as he watched me. “Why didn’t you say anything?” I accuse, hitting him on the chest again because he deserves it for making me come across a a fool He groans, clamping my hand in his and acting as though that little punch actually caused him pain. “It was cute to watch you try to hide it to surprise me.” He smiles down at me. “I also didn’t want to spoil your plans by ruining the surprise.” “Then why did you just admit to knowing about it?” His birthday is a week from now. He could have just kept mute and let me continue to believe that I had him fooled. It would have saved me from feeling like an idiot. “I don’t like pretending that I can’t hear you throwing up every morning in the bathroom” He gives

me a tender look that has my heart singing. “I want to be beside you to hold your hair over the toilet and force you to eat the meals that you keep picking at.” I blink, stunned into silence. “I thought that I could hold on for one more week but I can’t keep silent when you need me.” He smiles apologetically. “I’m y for ruining your surprise. I’ll make it up to you.” My eyes water at his words but I’m going to blame it on the hormones. “That’s so sweet, I confess, raising up and placing at kiss on his lips that deepens into a make-out session Soon. I’m straddling Caden’s hip and rocking into his hard- o n. Caden’s hands gripping my hip stop my movement. I look at him in confusion. “How do you feel about us moving out of the pack house and into our house?” He asks. I still, my heart soaring. You mean that?’ I love this pack house but I have to admit that it will be fun to have a line that we could call ours. “Yeah, I do.” He cups my face. “It will just be me, you, Lucy, and our baby.” I grin so hard that it feels like my face is going to split into two. “I would love that. Do you have a place in mind?” “I was thinking of the house where you had your first heat. Then he hurriedly adds, “We could always build another if you don’t like it. It will take a long time and we might not be able to move in before the baby arrives but-” I recall the calm and quiet house with a lake on the side and I remember the memories we shared in that same house. “It’s perfect,” I say, silencing him with a kiss. It will be the perfect place for us to start a home together and I can’t wait for this next chapter of our lives. The End. Thanks for joining Caden and Alessia on their journey to finding love.
