Chapter 39

Derek's POV

.

I observed the sleeping figure in my arms. I knew she was a hell of tired because of one after another thing. Instead of home, our car took the route of the airport.

Little did we know that we were going on a honeymoon. Everything was planned by our parents already to surprise us. But no surprise could be equal to the news of Stacey's pregnancy.

The best, in fact!

I had already consulted with the doctor, and there was no issue in traveling as long as she took proper rest. And I promise to let her take rest as much as she wants to. I wasn't going to allow her to do anything and take any stress.

I thought she would be awake after reaching the airport, but she didn't. Generally, werewolves never sleep in deep slumber like she was sleeping now. I believe the reason behind her peaceful sleep was that she was with me. I remembered her saying that she trusted herself with me. I picked her in my arms. She stirred a little but again hid her face against my chest.

Jason, my new beta, had already arranged everything just like his previous Alpha, Stacey's dad, had asked him to, so I didn't bother about anything. All I had to do was carry my bride, my mate, in my arms to the private jet.

Once I settled, I couldn't help but feel lucky, and I started with my mate. We didn't talk about the pup until now, maybe because we both know that it didn't matter to both of us whether the pup was with her Ex or me because in both the cases, she would be the mother. And there was no way I couldn't fall in love with a person who was related to her in any way.

'But I feel that the pup is ours.', Rex commented what he felt.

'We will figure about it after the pup's birth.'

'Yeah! There is no use of discussing this as for now because we can't stress our mate over this fact.', he muttered, on which I couldn't agree more.

A few hours later!

I didn't want to wake her up, but as per Alpha Asher, I had to maintain everything on my own on our honeymoon because there was no Beta, Gamma, or Delta to either disturb us or help us, and soon we were going to land soon.

"Baby, wake up.", I whispered into her eyes which shook her head without opening her eyes. "Luna, wake up" hearing it, she quickly opened her eyes and looked at me, and then everything around.

"Don't tell me that I was dreaming of our marriage, and right now, we are going to attend some meeting as a Luna and beta.", She asked in tension, maybe because I disturbed her in her deep slumber where she would see beautiful dreams.

She sniffed, and then her body relaxed automatically.

"I'm yours now, Luna. Did you confirm that part by sniffing?" I teased. She smacked on my arms and rested her head on my chest again.

"I got scared that everything was nothing but just a dream when you called me LUNA.", She complained.

"I apologies, MY Luna.", I muttered, kissing her forehead. "We will be landing soon.", I told her.

'And there I thought that we are not going on honeymoon.', She muttered and finally sat up. I buckled her up and handed her a bottle of water while she accepted. It looked like she had no idea how thirsty she was until then. I knew nothing about how to handle any woman in her pregnancy days but thanks to mom, who had filled slight knowledge about it. And also told me that I could mind link her at any moment for any question. As for now, I knew that I had to keep Stacey hydrated.

"We need to change before landing.", I reminded her because we were still in our wedding dress which we had worn after marking each other. We had to wear something casual.

"I can't wait to change your clothes.", She said, grinning like a cherished cat.

'I like that idea.', Rex purred.

No, this wasn't a good idea. There was no way we would be able to change our clothes by the time the jet would land because instead of changing the clothes, we would be making love to each other.

Thinking about that part, I quickly shook my head, "No. I will change my clothes on my own. While you will be changing yours."

"Derek"

"No.", I said sternly, on which she pouted. "Stop being a perv."

"Stop being a mood spoiler.", she muttered angrily. "You're no fun at all. It seems like I got married to an old man." adding this, she left from there. I shook my head with a smile, smelling her arousal which was fading with time.

'You didn't do that right.', Rex growled.

'We can have her after reaching the hotel, Rex. This is neither the right timing nor the place. Try to understand that.' I tried to make him understand. It wasn't that I didn't want her. It had been six days since I felt her juice all around me. I was just controlling myself because she was carrying a life inside her during the whole journey. Otherwise, I would have made love to her senselessly.

Once Stacey was back in her black trouser and loose light and an oversized sweater, I went to change my clothes. Soon enough, we landed, and I ushered Stacey out of the jet without disclosing the place where we had reached.

"Paris.", She gasped, slapping both of her hands on her mouth. "I always wanted to become here, but Ad…", She stopped speaking and quickly changed the topic. "I'm glad that I'm here with you.", She said, kissing my cheeks.

No matter how much I hated to hear her ex-mates name. I knew that he was the reason why Stacey was with me today. So, for that part, I could at least bear his name. Thankfully, seeing the destination where we were at that moment, she forgot about her anger, her fake anger, to be exact.

Our luggage was transferred into the car, and we settled in too. The hired driver greeted us and drove us to one of the most expensive and luxurious hotels in Paris near the Eiffel tower.

"I can't hold my excitement to visit all over the city. And you are going to take my numerous amount of pictures.", She said as soon as her eyes landed on the scenery outside the window of our VIP suite. Her eyes were glittering because of happiness.

"Sure, Baby. I don't think I can get tired of taking your pictures.", I muttered, wrapping my hand around her waist from the back. Even at night, everything was so beautiful.

She returned toward me and was about to kiss me when I stopped her. "Now what?", She asked, getting irritated.

"Are you sure that you want to kiss an old man?" I teased, grinning from ear to ear. I could see invisible smoke coming out of her ears. I thought she would fight with her, but instead, she pulled me closer, grabbed my collar, and slammed her lips against me.

"Do you…still have any… questions in your mind… about it?", She asked, panting slowly after breaking the kiss.

"Hell! No.", With this, I kissed her again, slow and passionate. Immediately I remember that she had to eat something before this. Because this could wait for a while. I reluctantly break the kiss. "You need to have something before moving forward."

"But Derek…"

"No, sweetheart!! You need to understand that there is another life inside you. I know this pup is unplanned, but this pup is a blessing to you and to us. We have to take care of him and her.", I explained calmly, but God knew why tears started brimming in her eyes? "Why are you crying?"

"I don't know. I just feel like crying.", She smiled, wiping her tears. "Okay! Let's see what I want to eat.", She said in an excited tone and picked a menu card that was already in our suite.

"But let me tell you, whatever you are going to eat, we will first consult with both of our moms.", I warned.

"Don't worry about that department. Maybe I have never been pregnant before, but I have read books on pregnancy.", She said confidently. "Like what to eat and what to avoid, and all do and don't.

"Really?"

"Hmm"

"Then I too need that book."

"Sure."

'Until then, we can purchase an ebook and go through it.', Rex suggested.

'Agree. Whenever she will be sleeping, we will read those ebooks.'

'Yep! That's a perfect idea.'

*****

I didn't cross-check with our moms about whatever Stacey ordered for both of us because I was sure that she knew what she was eating. After having our dinner, I took my time and explored each and every inch of her body and made passionate love to her, keeping in my mind not to hurt her in any way.

And unlike other times, she soon got tired as well and started feeling sleepy. Once she was asleep, I grabbed my phone and searched for the best book I should purchase. Even though those books were for humans, but I was sure that whether a mother was a werewolf or a human, they both needed to take safety measures and precautions.

"Sleep, Derek," Stacey mumbled, sensing I was still awake. I laid down and hid under the blanket, covering myself properly to use the phone. I felt like no one could catch me, but I was so wrong because, after 10-15 minutes, my blanket was snatched from me first and then my mobile phone.

"Close your eyes and sleep. In case you won't, then this phone of yours will be on fire, and you will be out of the room. Did you get that clear?" Stacey threatened.

"Yes, Luna." I nodded my head like a good boy because messing with my wife meant digging out my own grave.
