Chapter 79

Eero managed to find his room and pulled the dusty bedding off the bed before falling down on the bed. Eero does not know how long he was passed out for when he woke up but felt half better.
“Where am I?” He asked himself out loud, taking in his surroundings.
‘Wedding. Ami. No, not Ami, prince Andre,’ Eero recalled and got up from the bed. He caught his reflection in the mirror. ‘I look like crap,’ he thought, looking at his messy hair and bread that has not seen a shaver since the day he found out that Stella was carrying his child. ‘Stella is not pregnant,’ he reminded himself. “Stella is not pregnant,” he said out loud, letting it sink in as tears of joy ran down his face.
Eero walked over to his wardrobe and was glad to find all his things as he left it. He took his shaver and walked over to the shared bathroom that used to be the Hunters. After cleaning up and looking like a human again he went back to his room with just a towel around him. ‘I have to win Ami back,’ Eero thought and pulled out his best suit. ‘Hope they don’t mind rocking up at their wedding reception,’ Eero thought and got dressed.
Eero opened his bedroom door just as Ami was about to knock. “Ami,” Eero said and wrapped his arms around her.
“Where are you going all dressed up?” Ami questioned, pulling out of his embrace.
“I was going to attend the ceremony,” Eero said.
“You clearly don’t know what time it is,” Ami chuckled.
“Party over?” Eero chuckled and pulled her into his room.
“You look better,” Ami smiled and pulled away from him.
“Stella lied. She is not pregnant,” Eero said with a big smile and tried to reach for Ami again.
“I found my fated mate,” Ami said, stepping out of reach.
Eero swept her hair away from her shoulder. “You are not claimed yet,” he said, relieved. “You can un-mate. You and I are meant to be.”
“I am the last royal were-owl princess,” Ami said, feeling sad. “If the two of us get together, the royal bloodline will end with me but if I am with Wynn there is a,..”
“Wynn? He is a lycan or a shifter. How can he be your mate?” Eero questioned, shocked.
“He is a shifter and therefore able to be my mate or any other species for that matter,” Ami said but seeing Eero again made her doubt all her plans, and Wynn that was already sleeping woke up feeling the betrayal of Ami’s feelings for Eero.
‘Babe, where are you?’ Wynn mind linked her, looking over to the empty space next to him. He placed his hand on her side of the bed.
‘On my way,’ Ami mind linked him back.
“I have to go,” Ami said and walked towards the door.
“Ami, wait,” Eero grabbed her by her arm and pulled her, forcing a kiss on her.
Ami slapped him. “Why did you do that?” Ami questioned and ran out of his room fearing that Wynn will get the wrong idea even though she had a feeling that her mixed emotions betrayed their fated mate bond.
Wynn sat up at the betrayed feeling of the kiss. ‘Ami?’ Wynn mind linked her and got out of bed.
‘I swear it was not me. He kissed me,’ Ami jumped on the defense, running to get to Wynn fearing he will go after Eero or even worst, Eero after him.
“Babe, please,” Ami met him halfway back to Wynn’s room. Wynn almost sped past her.
“Where the fuck is he?” Wynn spat, furious. “You told him that you have a mate now?” Wynn yelled at her. Wynn could feel her fear.
Ami found herself fearing Wynn and flinched at his yelling.
“I am sorry,” Wynn said taking her by her shoulders. “You still have feelings for him?”
“I, I don’t,” Ami stutter.
“I felt it!” Wynn shouted again, feeling she was lying to him.
“Hey! Let her go,” Eero shouted, running towards them.
“No, please. The both of you, walk away,” Ami pleaded in a soft voice but neither one of them listened to her. Ami looked on as Wynn sped over to Eero and was about to punch him when out of nowhere prince Deacon jumped in between them shifting into his wolf form making Wynn crash into him, sending the both of them sliding across the floor and stopping against Eero.
“Get out of my way!” Wynn growled.
‘Are you nuts? He could kill you,’ Deacon mind linked Wynn.
Eero stepped away from them, glad that Wynn didn’t touch him.
“Ami?” Eero yelled when he saw Ami fell to the ground, mid shift.
Both Wynn and Deacon also looked over to Ami.
“Babe?” Wynn sped over to her, beating Eero to her. “Talk to me. What is wrong?”
Ami retracted her wings, clutching her belly. ‘I am pregnant,’ she mind linked Wynn, looking into his eyes. ‘That is the only reason why I felt a sharp pain when trying to shift.’
‘Just lycan females that gets reminded that they are pregnant before shifting?’ Wynn questioned.
‘Great, just what we need. Make sure Eero does not find out,’ Deacon said and looked up at Eero, growling at him.
“Fine, I will go,” Eero spat. “But she clearly still loves me!”
“I don’t,” Ami said, looking into Wynn’s eyes, her eyes pleading for him to believe her.
“You don’t even believe it so how do you expect me to belief it?” Wynn questioned and blocked her out of his mind before lifting her off the ground. Instead of carrying her to his room that they shared lately he took her to her own room.
“Where are you taking me?” Ami questioned when she noticed that they are not on their way to his room.
“I can’t share a bed with you when you love another,” Wynn said.
“I don’t. I care about him, but I love you!” Ami cried making Wynn stop in his tracks, looking at her.
“Please don’t reject our bond,” Ami pleaded, burying her face in his neck.
“Who said anything about rejecting our bond?” Wynn chuckled and turned around, speeding to his room.
Wynn laid her down on his bed. “How are you feeling?” He asked, putting his hand on her belly, trying to listen for a heartbeat. “I can’t pick up a heartbeat.”
Ami cried and curled up in a bundle. “I think I accidently killed our baby. I didn’t know I was pregnant.”
“Maybe you are not pregnant. Maybe it is something else that caused the pain. We did eat quite a bit at the wedding, not to mention all the alcohol,” Wynn stroked her hair.
“Take me the infirmity, there is a sonar machine that we can use,” Ami said, sitting up.
Wynn picked her up and sped her over to the infirmity. After putting her down on the bed he looked around. “I take it this is it?” Wynn questioned, walking over to a screen that was on a trolley with wheels.
“Bring it over here, and over there should be some lube and the doppler is over there,” Ami said, pointing at a shelve.
“Do you know how this work?” Wynn questioned.
“Sort of. I watched the doctors work with it several times,” Ami admitted.
“Why?” Wynn wondered, turning on the machine before walking over to the shelve to get the lube and doppler.
“Plug that in there,” Ami pointed and took the lube from him. “Help me out of this dress.”
Wynn put his hands around her and found the zipper at her back, pulling it down. He walked over to the door and locked it. When he faced her again her dress was on the floor, and he gulped at the beautiful naked sight of her wearing only a j-string as the dress had a build in bra. Wynn felt his manhood grow hard and gulped.
“Are you ok?” Ami questioned, looking at him.
“Yes,” Wynn said in a hoarse voice.
“Oh, I see,” Ami blushed, when her eyes dropped to the tent his pants were making.
“Let’s see if you are pregnant,” Wynn said, ignoring his erection.
Ami squirted some lube onto her lower belly before taking the doppler and pressing it to her belly.
“That low?” Wynn questioned.
“Yes, my womb is about here, and this baby can’t be more than a few months,” Ami explained.
“If there is a baby,” Wynn chuckled, nervous.
“You don’t want to be a father?” Ami frowned.
“What are you talking about? I am already a grandfather. Maybe even a great grandfather, by now,” Wynn chuckled.
“Really?” Ami questioned, shocked at the news.
“Is that really so hard to believe?” Wynn questioned and studied the screen.
“There,” Ami exclaimed at the dot on the screen.
“I don’t see anything,” Wynn squinted his eyes at the screen.
“I am only a few weeks and that must be the reason why you can’t hear the heartbeat,” Ami said. “Let’s just hope that I didn’t accidently kill our baby,” Ami said looking at Wynn’s face, studying him for any sign of him not wanting the baby. “Unless you don’t,” she added but Wynn placed his fingers on her mouth.
“I want a million babies with you,” Wynn said before replacing his fingers with his lips.
Wynn made gentle love with her right there and afterward sped her over to his room where he made love to her again.
The next morning Eero walked over to the were-owl wing, whishing to speak Ami but ran into queen Amirah.
“What are you doing here? Don’t you have a baby to tend to?” Queen Amirah stopped him in his tracks.
“Turns out Stella faked her pregnancy,” Eero said and tried to walk past her.
“Not so fast. Where are you going?” Queen Amirah questioned even though she knew the answer.
“Why don’t you take a guess,” Eero chuckled and walked off.
“She has a fated mate now she you are waisting your time,” Queen Amirah said after him.
“I am aware but earlier when I kissed her it was clear that she still has feelings for me so mate or not, I still have a chance,” Eero chuckled.
‘Dammit,’ Queen Amirah thought and left Eero to go look for Ami in the wrong place while she rushed over to Wynn’s room hoping that the two of them has not left for varsity yet.
