Pregnant After One Night With The Lycan Chapter 16
Pregnant After One Night With The Lycan By Kellie Brown
Chapter 16 He Finally Comes
Marco’s POV:
She looks so small sitting on the sidewalk. At first, all I can feel is relief that she’s safe, and the wolf
within me calms at the sight of her. Her ck hair, which she’s pined into an ornate style, drips onto her
glistening pale skin. The red dress is slick and clings to her figure, entuating every soft curve. She
shivers against the cold where she’s huddled under a tree, and I can’t help but wonder if she would
have stayed there all night, waiting for me.
I can’t help the curiosity that fills me when I think of her. We came into each other’s life by pure
ident, but I’ve never quite met anyone like her. No one has ever waited for me like that, with such
loyalty and patience. It’s foolish and reckless but… sweet, and I’m annoyed by the odd sense of
affection that fills me as I walk toward her.

Tanya’s POV:
I brace myself from the cold to be best of my ability, but water trickles between the leaves of the tree
I’m crouched under, soaking my gown in spite of my best efforts. But suddenly, the water stops, and I
look up in surprise to see Marco holding a ck umbre over my head.
My heart skips a beat at the sight of him, and he wordlessly takes off his jacket, draping it over my
shoulders and shielding me from the rain. He examines my shivering form with displeasure before
speaking.
“You shouldn’t be out in this weather. How long have you been out here, foolishly waiting for me? You
look like a sad little w*et flower.”
Honestly? I’m not sure how long it’s been. I lost track of time a while ago, and right now, all I can think
about is the fact that he’s actually here.
“I don’t know… but I couldn’t leave. I was afraid you’d show up, and I’d be gone. I couldn’t do that to
you.”
He shakes his head with disapproval, and perhaps I have behaved like a petnt child. But he came,
and he found me.
“And look,” I say softly. “Here you are now.”
He’s silent for a moment, considering my words as I look up at him, little droplets clinging to myshes.
Finally, he sighs, running a hand through his soaking hair.
“Tanya, I didn’t invite you to this restaurant tonight. Someone else sent the flowers. I don’t really
celebrate Valentine’s Day.”
My shoulders sag slightly in defeat as his words sink in. The roses, the restaurant… he really didn’t
want to celebrate with me.
“Oh… that’s okay.”
Marco sighs, unconvinced. He kneels in front of me so he can look into my eyes.
“I had no idea it was so important to you. I’ve just never cared about the holiday that much, but if I’d
known that you did, I would have spent it with you.”
Despite the cold, warmth starts to spread within me as he reaches for something, and my eyes go wide
as he pulls out a small bouquet of wildflowers. The stems are slightly crushed, but the dainty petals are
intact, and the droplets on them look like little diamonds, glittering in the night.
“It’ste, so all the shops are closed now, but I came across these a short while ago,” he says, his
voice softening. “They made me think of you, little flower. I’ll get you a formal Valentine’s Day giftter,
but for now, this will have to do.”
Little flower. I blush at the pet name. When I first came here, I wanted to look like an elegant rose for
him, but these wild, colorful delicate flowers are so much more beautiful. I would much rather be
Marco’s little flower than a luxurious rose. I take the small bouquet from his hands, touched by the
gesture.
“They’re perfect,” I whisper. “Thank you.”
Something makes the hairs on the back of my neck stand on end, and the strange sensation of being
watched makes me tear my gaze away from Marco. Between the rain and the shadows, I swear I saw
Ayana’s eyes watching us from across the street, full of contempt and indignation. But when I blink and
look again, there’s nothing there. Maybe I imagined it.
“Come on, let’s get you home,” Marco says, standing up.
I turn my attention back to him, happy to obey, but when I try to get up, my legs are shaky. I’ve been
curled up and trembling in the cold for so long that my feet have gonepletely numb, and I get dizzy
when I try to move. I stumble into Marco’s arms, hisrge hands catching me before I stagger to the
ground.
For a moment, I’m frozen in his arms, my heart racing in my chest as my head spins. Marco’s arms are
strong around me, but I quickly struggle to regain my footing.
Whether he calls me a little flower or not, I know he doesn’t love me. Our marriage is an arrangement,
and he probably doesn’t want this kind of closeness between us.
Marco frowns after I pull away, appraising my movements. To my surprise, he kneels in front of me,
gesturing for me to climb onto his back.
“I’ll carry you,” he says, his tonemanding.
I almost protest, saying that I don’t want to inconvenience him, but I can barely stand, let alone walk
home through the rain.
Hesitantly, I wrap my arms around his broad shoulders. His muscles are hard and taught against my
skin, and I pray he can’t feel my racing heart as I gently take the umbre from him, holding it to free
his hands.
He stands up, his hands grasping my thighs. His touch is hot and firm, even through the damp fabric of
my dress. Even though we’re both drenched, I hold the umbre to shield our heads as he starts
walking back toward the townhouse. The streetmps are reflected on the rain- covered pavement.
Against the glittering lights of the night, I can make out our silhouette between the shadows. I smile at
the image.

There, reflected in the rain, we look almost like a painting or a postcard. We look like a real couple. If
anyone looked, they’d see a husband and wife sharing an intimate moment in the rain. It’s so sweet
and simple that it fills me with a cozy sort of courage. I hesitate for a while, but then slowly, I gently rest
my head on his shoulder, soaking in thefort of our proximity.
Marco notices my gesture, and he tugs slightly over his shoulder, pulling the coat that’s dr*a*p*ed
around me tightly. I bite my lower lip softly, failing to hold back a little smile. He must think I’m only
leaning against him because of the cold, but that’s okay. He doesn’t mind; he doesn’t push me away. I
know he’s not in love with me, and we’re not a real couple, but for now, he holds me closely, making
me feel safe and warm. I know I will treasure the memory of tonight long after it ends, and in this
moment where it’s just the two of us and the rain, that is enough.
When we get to the townhouse, Marco sets me down gently. Arriving here with him really makes it feel
likeing home. Once I’ve found my footing, Marco steps back to examine me, ensuring that I’m
okay and I can stand on my own. However, it’s not my own well-being that worries me but his.
There’s a strange expression on his face, and he’s gritting his teeth together as if trying to suppress it.
But it’s not just the look on his face; there’s something else I can’t really describe that makes me shiver
anxiously. There’s a sort of feral aura around him like some otherworldly beast is taking hold of him,
and Marco is struggling to hold it back.
“Marco… are you okay?”
“I’m fine!” he growls.
He takes a few shaky breaths, fighting to calm himself as fear courses through my veins. What’s
happening to him?
“Go to your room, Tanya.”
I can tell it’s an order, not a request, but I’m hesitant to leave his side when he’s in such a state.
Concern urges me towards him, and I take a small step towards him in hopes offorting him, but he
pulls away sharply as if trying to maintain a safe distance between the two of us.
“I don’t want to leave you like this. What’s wrong?” “I said I’m fine!” he barks at me, his tone fierce and
commanding.
I shrink back slightly, startled by the aggression. I can see him fighting to remain calm.
“Just go to your room,” he grunts as if it’s difficult to get the words out. “I won’t ask again. Lock the
door, and don’te out until the sun rises, no matter what.”
I don’t dare refuse him, so I quickly rush to my room and do as he says. I try to get ready for bed, but I
can’t stop worrying about Marco. I pat my hair dry with a towel and slip onto a nightgown, leaving on
my wedding ring and ruby ne like I always do.
I’m starting to wonder how I will be able to sleep when I’m so concerned about Marco when a horrible
howl tears through the night. I whirl around in a panic at the sound, my gazending on the bedroom
window as the roar echoes around me. Outside amidst the ckness, the full moon shines in the sky.
