Taming the Alpha

Chapter 28: Apologizing

"Well then. I welcome your help. Thank you"

**

"You should sit up and let me have a look at you." Vadee ordered when they were alone together, and Gulf nodded weakly glad when the world didn't immediately spin. Sitting up he carefully investigated the beautiful face of his adopted mother his cheeks burning bright red when she tugged off his t-shirt and placed a hand over his stomach sniffing the air around him. "A week pregnant?"

"Yes." Gulf answered not questioning how she knew that. The females of the species could always tell what was happening through scent just sniffing around could tell them illnesses and how long they'd been suffering it was why a lot of female werewolves ended up working in hospitals as doctors or nurses.

Vadee had never gone down that road, she had married Sangngern almost as soon as they had gotten out of college and had had Joss a year later, but she had always used her noise to tell when he was sick or had been beaten. Even if he had tried to hide it, she could smell the blood forming the bruise under his skin. It was that which had prompted the Joss' to take him in altogether.

"With an alpha's baby."

"I'm sorry." Gulf hung his head trying hard to flinch back away from her, but Vadee's fingers continued to gently move over his stomach poking and prodding him until she seemed satisfied urging him to roll onto his front.

"You shouldn't be apologizing. He should. He caught you when you were on your heat?"

"Yes. But... He's different. I think. He's nicer." The omega sighed closing his eyes wondering how this was soothing away the sickly feeling that he had been carrying all day. It seemed like such a simple act, not even a massage, but the sickly feeling was going. "He seems to genuinely care."

"I see. And do you genuinely care about him as well?" Vadee chuckled and Gulf knew that if he was looking at her, she would be lifting an eyebrow and grinning at him. Knowing that he purposely kept his face buried into his pillow knowing that his cheeks were flushing as he admitted weakly.

"I think that I'm starting to."

"I'm surprised. But, I can't say I'm all together shocked. He is rather cute. And very powerful." Vadee gave a laugh as Gulf spun around so quickly that his head spun again. "What? Just because I'm married, I can't appreciate cuteness or power? Though I doubt he would be interested."

"You wouldn't be either really. You like Joss too much." Gulf grumbled and Vadee shrugged with a wary laugh tapping him on his nose before bringing her hands up to play with his ears. It was something that she had always done since he was a small child and had first made friends with Joss and now, like then, he closed his eyes smiling with contentment.

"Have you bonded with him?"

"No. Not yet. He said that I didn't have to until I was ready." Gulf admitted almost shyly as Vadee settled herself in beside him pulling him into hug against her chest her cheek resting against his. It was overly familiar, but it was perfectly normal for a werewolf mother to with a sick child. It had taken Gulf a long time to get used to.

"And yet here you are bearing him a pup. Which is why you're so sick. The baby inside you is strong. Stronger than you who fights with their wolf side as if it was an illness." She murmured in his ear relaxing him completely as she rubbed his stomach "You need to either accept him or accept yourself and I'm not completely sure if you'll ever prepared to do either."

" I think I might able to...accept him. I think. Eventually."

"You're going to have to make sure that it's sooner rather than later. Now where is that alpha, I need to talk to him."
