Pregnant And Rejected By My Alpha Mate By Caroline Above Chapter 149


    Chapter 149 Defying the Doctor’s Orders


    Selene’s POV


    With every day that passes, the more worried I be that Bastien hasn’t called. I’m certain he’s


    alive. With our bond, I know I would feel it if he weren’t, no matter how far away he may be. Still, the


    continued radio silence is enough to make me fear any number of other tragedies. Is he hurt? Is he


    sick? Sitting in a dungeon somewhere?


    Don’t jump to conclusions. Luna advises in a soothing tone. As far as we know, no news is good news.


    I hate it when people say that. I reply silently, no news can be just as damning as bad news, especially


    when the person you’re worried about is literally facing death.


    The worst part of all of this is that I know the others are worried too, but they aren’t telling me because


    they‘re worried I’ll fall to pieces.


    I’m sick of being babied this way just because I’m pregnant. I mean, I know there are some things I


    probably don’t want to know, and I know I’m already under too much pressure and buckling beneath


    the weight of everything already on my shoulders, but shielding me from reality isn’t helping. Now I’m


    simply imagining a thousand horrible possibilities rather than coping with anything real.


    “Mommy,” L begins, interrupting my thoughts.


    “Yes lovey?” I prompt, pulling her into myp.


    “Will Daddy be home before da babyes?” Apparently our minds were on the same wavelength.


    The sweet pup is looking up at me hopefully, expecting me to have all the answers even though I’m in


    the dark almost as much as she is.


    “I hope so, angel.” I answer honestly. “I really do.”

    “Can we call him?” She asks for the thousandth time. She’s asking less and less often, but she still


    asks far too frequently, and everytime she does my heart breaks a little more for all three of us.


    “You know his phone isn’t working right now, L. We’ve talked about this, remember?” I exin gently.


    “I tought it might be better by now.” She pouts, fiddling with the stuffed elephant in her tiny hands. After


    thinking for a moment, she looks back up at me hopefully, and I know what she’s going to ask before


    the words leave her mouth. “Can youe home t’day?”


    Another question that breaks my heart, and one I hear way too often.


    Sighing heavily, I begin, “I wish I could sw”


    “Your wish has been granted.” Aiden announces out of nowhere, striding into the room as if he’s on a


    mission, “We‘re getting you out of here, Selene.”


    I can barely believe my ears, “What?” Drake strolls in behind the beta, an odd look on his face. “Did Dr


    Kane say it was okay?”


    “Nope!” Aiden quips matter-of-factly, “He did not. And that’s why we’re leaving.”


    “I don’t understand.” I murmur, “What’s going on?”


    “We’ll exinter.” Drake promises, looking down at my pup, “You hear that little bean Mommy’s


    coming home!”


    “Yaayyyy!” L cries, bouncing up and down in myp and unfortunately making my stomach roil.


    Seeing the expression on my face, Drake quickly gathers her up and offers me the trash bin.


    After emptying my stomach, I watch in a daze as the men pack my bags and call for the nurse to


    remove my IV. She’s still in the middle of the process when Dr Kane appears in the doorway. “What’s


    the meaning of this?”


    “We‘re taking Selene home.” Aiden deres, his countenance so cold I’m taken aback. The beta is


    normally the friendliest of shifters, I can’ trecall ever seeing him look so fierce outside of a fight.


    “I thought we discussed this.” Dr Kane says to Drake, she’s not ready.”


    “Selene,” Aiden says abruptly, turning to me, “Are you ready to go home?”


    “Yes!” i nod vigorously, not understanding what’s happening, but knowing exactly where I stand on this


    matter.


    “See,” Aiden tells Thomas curtly. “She’s ready.”


    “Wanting to go and being ready are not the same thing.” Dr Kane growls.


    “And your orders are technically only rmendations.” Drake counters with his own re.


    What on earth is going on!


    “Selene can sign herself out of her own volition.” Aiden finishes the Eros Alpha’s thought. And that’s


    exactly what she’s going to do. You can’t keep her here.”


    “Listen, I’m not sure what is going on. Dr Kane hedges, holding up his palms defensively. “but I must


    urge you to rethink this decision. Selene’sbs are barely recovered and she still isn’t putting on


    weight, she needs more time and a stress free environment.”


    “There’s no such thing.” Drake sighs, “But I assure you home is less stressful for her than the hospital.”


    I’m ted that the men are finally supporting me, finally listening to what I’ve been saying this entire


    time. “Exactly!”


    “We’re going to hire a full time nurse to help her at the pack house.” Aiden ims, everything you have


    here, we can provide for her at home.


    “Except instant care in an emergency!” Dr Kane argues.


    “It’s not as if she’s at risk of a heart attack.” Drake defends, “if she gets too dehydrated and passes out,


    we just have to get fluids into her, not rush her to the OR for surgery.”


    “I am begging you to reconsider.” Thomas says, somewhat manically.


    “Dr. Kane, is there something you aren’t telling us? Aiden grumbles confrontationally. “some reason


    you’re determined to keep Selene here?


    I don’t want to share my own guess with them, especially not with the man in the room. It’s a very


    awkward thing to imagine your obstetrician has a crush on you in the first ce, let alone confront him


    with the theory in a room full of your husband’s friends.


    “I’m a doctor. She’s my patient. That’s all.” Thomas insists.


    *Actually she’s not.” Drake informs him coldly.


    “What?” Dr Kane asks, not following.


    “She’s not your patient.” Drake announces, passing L back to me and moving to tower over the


    shorter man. “not anymore.”


    “Mommy, why’s uncle Rake and uncle Aidn being so weird?” My pup whispers in my ear.


    “I don’t know, angel.” I answer honestly. My only guess is that somehow between my conversation with


    Drake and now, he figured out or began to suspect the same thing I do: that Thomas has feelings for


    me.


    “They’re really cranky.” L narrates.


    Smothering augh, I stride across the room to stand beside Drake and attempt to defuse the situation.


    “I really appreciate everything you’ ve done for me, Thomas.” I profess sincerely, “but I think this is for


    the best. I’m ready to go home, and I just think your regimen is too strict for me.


    His green eyes sh dangerously. “The Alpha would want us to be overprotective rather than under,”


    he asserts, taking me by surprise. I’ve never seen this aggressive side of Thomas, and I do not care for


    it at all.


    “I think we know the Alpha’s mind a bit better than you do, Dr.” Aiden snipes, zipping up my bag. “In


    fact these orders areing directly from him.”


    I whip my head around to stare at the beta in shock, “What?! You talked to him?”


    “I’ll exin in the car.” Aiden remarks simply.ing to stand on my other side. Together we form a


    united front against the imposing chief doctor, and though his jaw is twitching as if he wants to argue


    further, eventually Dr. Kane backs down.


    Pursing his lips, Thomas makes a dismissive tsking noise. “It’s your funeral.” He derides, stepping


    aside.


    Aiden and Drake snarl in unison, but I’m already gliding away down the hallway, practically bolting


    towards freedom just in case on of my babysitters change their minds. L is happily chattering away in


    my arms, intermittently singing. “We‘re going home!” and suggesting different activities for us to do


    when we get there.


    Aiden and Drake catch up with us after a moment, and I nce back and forth between them. “Would


    one of you like to tell me what’s going on?


    *In the car.” Aiden repeats, peeking at my out of the corner of his eye. “Why didn’t you tell us that Dr.


    Kane was your physician?”


    “I thought you knew!” I exim, “he’s the chief of medicine here, besides Odette and Drake knew.”


    “Yeah well Odette and I weren’t in the loop on everything that’s been going on.” Drake shares,


    sounding annoyed.


    “There was no reason for you to know this.” Aiden says back in the tone of someone who is already


    tired of discussing this.


    They’re really starting to get on my nerves. Luna grouses.


    You’re preaching to the choir. I answer, letting my own annoyance bleed into my next words.


    “All right boys, y nice.” I cate. Despite their odd behavior, my mind can’t help but linger on the


    single most important piece of information they shared back in my room. “Did you really talk to


    Bastien?”


    Aiden exhales heavily, “Selene…”


    “I know, I know.” Iin, mocking his earlier words. “In the car.”
