Chapter 102 The Fear Beneath My Heart

• BRIANA
• Curled up on my bed, I rest a hand on my stomach, my thoughts spinning in circles. Could I really be pregnant? A small part of me hopes Drake was mistaken, but deep down, I know he wasn’t lying. The look in his eyes when he told me… that wasn’t something you could fake.
• Drake has been so protective lately—possessive even. And ever since he said the words you’re pregnant, something inside me changed. The mate bond between us, the one that had been broken for so long, suddenly came alive again. I can feel it now, humming faintly under my skin like an invisible heartbeat. It feels whole again, as if he never rejected me in the first place.
