"" He said crossing his arms over his chest.
I looked at Jordan and gave her a pleading look.
She saw Axel and quickly caught on.
""Oh look foods here!"" Jordan yelled grabbing my hand and pulling me towards the table.
I quickly sat down and Axel grabbed the chair next to me.
He was still royally pissed and everyone could see that.
We were filling our plates when Axel whispered in my ear.
""What are you binding?"" He was starting to shake.
""You'll find out soon.
"" I put my hand on his arm and he calmed down a little.
He sniffed my neck and I froze.
Shit shit shit""¦.
"" you smell different.
"" ""Uh it's a new perfume.
"" I said trying to cover it up.
""No.
It smells more like-"" he started but I cut him off.
""Who wants pasta?"" I said grabbing the container and filling my plate with it.
""Why do you keep interrupting me?"" Axel said sounding a little bit of hurt and anger in his voice.
""Stop asking questions.
They will all be answered when we are done eating.
"" ""Promise?"" He asked narrowing his eyes at me.
""Promise.
"" ""That was lovely Sophia.
"" My dad complimented my mom.
She giggled at him.
My brothers and I all looked at each other and gave the ""˜that's so gross' look.
We busted out laughing and my mom shot us a glare.
We tried to stop but we couldn't.
""Oh that was good.
"" Spencer said wiping a year off of his face from laughing so hard.
""Couldn't have agreed more twin brother.
"" Austin said giving each other high fives.
Carter and I looked at each other and laughed at their behavior.
When we were little they would always try to act mature and polite in really funny situations, and it didn't help us from not laughing.
Carter and I would always end up laughing even harder.
Someone clearing their throat snapped me out of my memories.
I looked up and saw Amber rubbing her stomach signaling me it's time I should tell everyone.
""Guys.
I have an announcement, well great news I should say.
"" I said gaining everyone's attention.
""Bout time.
"" I heard Axel mumble.
I kicked his shin and he groaned in pain rubbing his leg.
""Okay.
"" I sucked in a deep breathe and exhaled it heavily.
""I'm.
.
pregnant.
"" I froze and saw everyone with shocked faces.

"Chapter 38: Overprotective people
Skylar
Everyone just stared at me.
No one moved, no one said anything.
I looked at Axel and his eyes were bulging out of his head.
I closed my eyes for a brief second before I heard a scream.
""My baby is pregnant! I'm gonna have grandchildren.
I was waiting for this you know.
I'm not getting any younger.
I'm so proud of you Skylar!"" My mother crushed me in a hug.
""Uh mom.
"" I said looking at her.
Her face tinted a shade of pink.
""Oh right.
Sorry, I can't believe you are pregnant.
"" ""I'm so proud of you baby girl.
Your gonna be a great mother.
"" My dad said with a huge smile while walking and giving me a hug.
""Thanks you guys.
"" I gave them each a hug back.
""We are gonna be uncles!"" Spencer yelled.
""I'm really excited.
"" Austin said.
""I know.
I can't wait.
"" Carter said with a huge smile.
""Is it a boy or girl?"" They all stared at me waiting for my answer.
I smiled.
""It's a healthy boy.
"" Everyone cheered.
""Oh my gosh.
I'm gonna be a dad.
"" Axel said with a huge smile.
Oh thankyou God.
I thought he didn't like it.
""He's gonna be so big and strong.
He's gonna be a powerful alpha, he's gonna learn how to play football, soccer, baseball.
"" And he kept going on.
I breathed a sigh of relief and gave a nervous smile.
""What's wrong babe?"" ""You took so long to answer, II thought you were gonna be upset.
"" I said quietly.
""Upset?"" He laughed.
""No.
I could never be upset about something like this.
I'm glad we are gonna have a baby.
This is huge.
I'm so excited!"" He paused.
""Oh my gosh.
I sound like a girl""¦"" The girls died laughing at that one.
""Oh shut it guys.
"" He pouted sitting back in his chair.
""Oh you're fine.
"" I patted his shoulder.
""So is this why you avoided me all day?"" He asked scared.
""Ya.
I mean, Amber could already smell it and some of the other pack members.
I told everyone it was a new perfume because I wanted it to be a surprise.
"" ""Okay.
Just making sure.
"" He laughed.
""Are you gonna have anymore?!"" My mom asked getting excited.
""Mother!"" I yelled in embarrassment.
""What?! Well can you blame me?"" She asked.
I guess she did have a point there.
""And besides, I want more than one grandchild from you.
"" She pointed at me.
""And that goes for all of you.
"" The girls' faces got bright red and the guys wiggled their eyebrows at them making them even more red.
""So we are gonna have a little Axel running around?"" Elyse asked.
I nodded and she groaned.
""Just great""¦"" ""Hey! I'm not that bad.
"" Elyse gave him a ""˜are you serious look.
' ""Right?"" He asked turning to me.
""Uhh-"" I paused looking for an excuse.
""Sure mom.
I would love to help you with the dishes.
"" I said practically running into the kitchen so I don't get caught.
""What.
I'm not that bad people.
Jeez.
"" Axel said shaking his head.
""Whatever floats your boat babe.
"" I said giving him a peck on the cheek when I walked back to where they were.
""So if we have little me running around, will we have a little you running around in the future?"" He asked sweetly.
I blushed at his comment and he chuckled.
""I don't know.
It would be nice to have a boy and a girl.
But if we don't then it's okay.
I just want our children to be perfectly healthy.
"" ""Me too.
"" He said and gave me a quick peck on the lips.
""But I want a niece in the future little sis.
"" Austin said pointing a finger at me.
I laughed and nodded.
""Ya that way I can kick any guy's ass if they flirt with her.
"" Carter said with an evil smile.
""Same here.
She won't be allowed to date until I say so.
"" Axel said agreeing.
""Guys.
She will need space.
And that's if I have a girl in the future.
"" ""Don't worry.
We will.
"" Axel said with a smile.
""And when you do, I'm gonna spoil her.
I'm gonna be her
favorite uncle.
"" Spencer said proudly.
""Oh my gosh.
How did we become mates?"" Jordan asked herself.
Spencer growled and she laughed.
""You know I'm kidding.
te quiero.
"" She said pecking his lips.
""You better.
"" He said wrapping his arms around her waist.
The rest of the night was spent talking about the baby boy and what he will do in the future.
We are planning on telling the pack in a couple of days.
And I have a feeling that Axel, the guys, and the girls will be a little overprotective of me from now on.
This will be fun""¦.
note the sarcasm.

"Chapter 39: Fake pregnancy craving
Skylar
""Axel.
Axel.
Axel.
Axel.
"" I kept saying his name over and over agin until he woke up.
He chuckled and grabbed my finger.
""Yes kitten?"" He asks in his morning voice.
Which I do have to say is pretty sexy.
""I want icecream.
"" I pouted.
He groaned and looked at the clock on the nightstand.
""It's 7 in the morning.
Can't you wait till noon or something?"" He asked pulling me closer.
""No.
"" ""Why?"" ""Because I'm craving icecream and I want some now.
"" ""Okay okay.
Don't get your pregnant hormones in a twist.
"" He said getting up from the bed.
""Thankyou babe.
"" I smiled sweetly at him.
""Ya ya.
I'll be right back.
"" I smiled and laid back down.
I fell asleep for about 10 minutes until I heard someone walk in.
I look up and see Axel holding a chocolate and vanilla icecream come.
""I know how much you love chocolate.
"" He said pecking my lips.
I giggle and nodded.
I eyed his cone and laughed.
""What? I wanted some too.
"" I rolled my eyes and grabbed my icecream.
I finished and my eyes started dropping.
""Come on.
Lets go back to bed.
"" He wrapped his arms around my waist and pulled me close to his chest.
""But I'm not tired.
"" I protested while yawning.
""I beg to differ.
You need to sleep, it's heathy for you and the baby.
"" ""Axel.
I'm only like 5
Days pregnant not 5 months.
"" ""I know but still.
I want him to be as healthy as possible.
"" ""Ugh fine Mr overprotective alpha dad.
"" I said giving him a soft kiss on the lips.
""And I am proud of it.
"" He pulled me back into a kiss and wrapped his arms around my waist and rested them on my lower back.
I pulled back and rest my head against his chest and felt my eyes close.
""I love you kitten.
"" ""I love you too.
"" I mumbled before falling into a deep sleep.
""Should we wake her up? It's noon.
"" I heard a voice say.
""I wouldn't if I were you.
"" I heard a deep voice say yawning.
That was Axel.
""Why are you so tired dude?"" Another guy voice came in.
""She made me go get her icecream at 7 in the freaking morning.
"" Yep that was Axel.
""This pregnancy is gonna be fun.
"" He teased.
My wolf growled at that.
""You do realize she is just messing with you.
"" I heard the same girl voice from earlier.
""She's smart.
I can't believe she used the fake pregnancy craving trick.
"" ""Wait what?"" ""She just wanted icecream and she was too lazy to go get it.
Duh.
Even I knew that.
"" He growled.
""So you're saying she woke me up just because she wanted icecream?"" ""Ding ding ding! We have a winner!"" ""Ugh Elyse, you aren't helping.
"" ""I didn't come here to help, I came here to get her up for lunch.
She needs to eat.
"" ""Okay.
Come on Mark, you can wake her up.
"" ""Ya.
.
uh how about no.
She's pregnant and you're her mate.
Why don't you do it.
"" I heard Axel groan.
""Fine.
"" ""You touch me you die.
"" I stated before opening my eyes to look up at them.
""Were you awake this whole time?"" Axel asked me narrowing his eyes.
""Yup.
"" I replied with an evil grin.
He crossed his arms and pouted.
""Aw is the big bad alpha wolf pouting?"" Everyone laughed until Axel growled.
""No.
You just made me get up at 7 in the morning to go get you icecream because you were too lazy.
"" ""So.
"" I smiled innocently at him.
""Whatever.
I'm going to be downstairs.
"" He huffed and walked out.
""Okay.
Mark out.
Skylar, Jaz, and I are going to the mall.
"" ""Good luck getting passed the guards.
"" He said with a mischievous smile.
""I heard the word mall.
So count me in.
"" Jaz said walking into my room.
She saw Mark and gave him a kiss.
""Sweet.
So out of the way Mark.
"" Elyse said trying to push him.
""Nope.
Sorry sis.
I don't think you guys could go to the mall if someone would have told Axel that his pregnant mate is leaving the house WITHOUT him.
"" He put an extra emphasis on ""˜without.
' That little jerk.
""You wouldn't.
"" I said stepping forward.
He just smiled and kissed Jaz's cheek and turned around walking out of my room.
""Quick.
5 minutes to get ready then we leave ASAP.
"" ""Got it.
"" They both said and ran out.
I quickly put on some jean shorts and my favorite red tank top with a white anchor and infinity sign.
I threw my hair up in a cute, messy bun, and grabbed my white sandals.
I ran downstairs and saw Elyse and Jaz looking around.
""Lets go.
"" I said in a whisper.
They nodded and we walked out the front door very carefully.
""Full on ninja mode.
"" Elyse said laughing.
We made it too the garage and opened the door.
""Hello Luna, Jaz, and Elyse.
"" Busted.
I turned around and saw a guard.
He was one of the guards Axel used to keep me and Elyse on house arrest before awhile ago.
""Hello.
"" I smiled sweetly at him.
""Where are you ladies off too?"" He asked eyeing the set of keys in my hand.
""Uh just taking the Lamborghini out for a test run.
"" I lied.
But I was taking the Lamborghini out to the mall.
So it was half of the truth.
That counts, right?I think he could tell we were up to something.
""Does alpha Axel know that his pregnant mate is leaving the house without him.
"" ""How did you know?"" I asked in confusion.
""I'm one of the best trackers in the pack.
I help with leading groups, so I could smell it.
"" He laughed.
""Oh.
That would explain a lot.
"" We laughed.
""So does Alpha Axel, Ryan, and Beta Mark know you guys are leaving?"" He asked us with a huge smirk on his face.
""Pfft.
Ya.
"" Elyse laughed nervously.
""So if I called them, they would say it was alright.
"" Crap.
""We would love to stay and chat.
But we gotta go.
"" Elyse said.
And with that we ran towards the car.
I got in the drivers seat and started her up.
""Hold on.
"" I shouted.
I put it in reverse and flew out of the driveway.
""˜I'll give you girls some time before I tell them.
Give ya a head start.
' I heard him say.
""˜Game on.
' We said.
""˜Good luck ladies.
'""˜Thanks.
' Elyse said.
""Lets do this.
"" Jaz said in a deep voice.
""Oh my gosh! So many shoes!"" Jaz yelled running into some show store she saw.
""Wooh horsey.
"" I joked.
""Well sorry.
"" She stuck her tongue out at me.
""I was deprived of shoes.
"" ""Okay okay.
We are going to go sit down on the bench.
"" ""Okay.
"" She said still not looking at us.
""So Elyse.
How long do you think it will take before they come to the mall.
"" ""Well.
Not long.
"" She pointed behind me.
I turned around and sure enough, there was Axel, Mark, Ryan, and the guard from earlier.
They must have made him go along because he knew where we went.
They were looking around, but they didn't really seem upset.
But you could tell they were kinda mad.
""Come on.
Lets grab Jaz out of her shoe la la land and book it.
"" ""Right.
"" We made our way into the store and saw Jaz paying for about 10 pairs of shoes.
Wow girl""¦""Jaz we got to go.
They are here.
"" She groaned but nodded.
""Excuse me miss?"" ""Yes?"" The lady at the counter said.
""Could you please hold onto these shoes.
I'm gonna go shop some more and I don't have any place to put them.
"" ""Of course.
"" She took the bags from Jaz and place them behind a curtain.
""Thankyou so much.
"" The lady bowed her head towards us in respect and went back to working.
""Okay.
So the parking lot is on the other side of the mall.
And we are on level 3.
So that means we have to somehow manage to get down to level 1 and run across the mall, get to the cars, and head home before the guys can find us.
"" I stated simply.
""Okay.
Sounds like a good plan to me.
