Chapter 6 The News

• Azrael POV
• I was standing outside the door to Olivia’s and Marcus' room, leaning on the wall in company of Damon as we were feeling anxious, waiting for Talia to finish her check up on Olivia and finally let us inside when suddenly we heard them both squealing and crying.
• Damon and I both jumped and pushed ourselves in tandem from the wall, looking at each other for a moment before we ran to the door as I grabbed ahold of the handle and pressed it down, opening the door.
• We barged inside the room, both of us looking around the room looking for any danger when my eyes landed on Talia and Olivia, both hugging each other as tears fell down from their eyes.
• “What happened? Why are you two crying?” before Damon could ask the same question, I rushed ahead and asked them, rushing straight towards the bed, looking at them with worry while anxiously I waited for their reply.
• Talia and Olivia chuckled, seeing Damon and me crowding in the space of the room, side by side, feeling tense as not knowing what happened.
• “Will someone tell us already what is wrong?” Damon said as he eyed both of the females.
• Talia moved away from Olivia, still having that beautiful smile on her face that was making me feel confused as fuck while I stood there silently.
• “Everything is fine…” Talia giggled, looking at Damon and me, turning her head towards Olivia while she added, “More than fine.”
• They both giggled once again and I could see Damon was feeling confused just like me when suddenly Olivia turned to us, glowing with happiness as she said, “I’m pregnant.”
• Surprise washed over me as a smile grew on my face, hearing such unexpected news while Damon jumped to Olivia, picking her up and twirling her while she laughed.
• The sound of the door hitting the wall as someone barged inside, making us all look at the tall figure that was standing there, looking like a wild beast as his eyes were fixated on his mate in the arms of a dragon.
• Marcus took a step inside and said, “Damon, I swear to Goddess I’ll kick your ass, friend, or no friend of mine if you don’t put down my mate.”
• Rolling his eyes, Damon whispered to Olivia, “I always knew I’m better looking than that jealous wolf there. You should have run away with me when we had the chance.”
• Marcus growled hearing Damon’s words making Olivia chuckle as she slapped Damon’s chest.
• He placed her gently down on the bed, taking a step back. Standing next to me and Talia, Damon looked at me and asked, “What?”
• Shaking my head, not being able to hold my laughter in as I said to him, “If he kicks your ass, I won’t save you.”
• He wrapped his arm on my shoulders, saying, “I know you like me so no need to deny it.”
• Laughing as he said those words, I shook my head, watching Marcus who rushed to Olivia, worriedly checking her over, while she giggled.
• I could see she was happy and at the same time nervous. Wanting to give some privacy to them, I grabbed Talia’s hand and nudged Damon, silently pointing for them to the door.
• Talia snorted, pulling her hand out of my hold. She walked inside the bathroom making me look after her in confusion.
• I heard Marcus asking worriedly, Olivia, “What happened, love?”
• I looked over at them, seeing Marcus holding Olivia in his arms, watching her closely while Olivia nervously wetted her lips. Smiling at him, she said, “Everything is alright. I fainted but…”
• Before she could continue on, Marcus cuts her off, asking, “What? Why did you faint? Are you ok now? Do I need to take you to the clinic?”
• Olivia giggled at him, placing her palm on his cheek, she said, “Calm down, I’m ok now. And stop interrupting me when I am trying to tell you something.”
• I could see Marcus was looking at her in confusion while Damon chuckled next to me, making me nudge his arm, giving him a stern look.
• Damon looked at me and mouthed, “What? He is funny.”
• Rolling my eyes at him, I gestured for him to be quiet as I saw at that moment Talia walking towards us.
• “What I am trying to say to you… the reason I fainted is… well… we are going to have a baby.” Olivia said the last part breathlessly, watching Marcus to see his reaction.
• Everyone was silent, watching at the two and that is when we could see a wide grin showing on Marcus' face as he leaned down and kissed his mate with all the love, making Talia squeal with joy and Damon clap his hands.
• Marcus looked over at us, still grinning as he stood up and happily announced to us, “Did you hear?! We are having a baby!!”
• This time, Marcus was the one to pick Olivia up bridal style and twirl her around gently while she squealed with joy.
• “I love you, Olivia. You are my blessing and I am so fucking lucky to have you as my mate and in my life.” Marcus said to Olivia, placing her down on the bed gently, kissing her soon as he said the words.
• I was happy to witness such love and happiness of my now new family, to see how strong their connection was, made me wish I could have such one day myself.
• The reality hit me hard as I knew such faith was not meant for me, breaking my heart silently piece by piece, forcing me to live my life in the world among happy mates all around me.
• I was not jealous of them, but more wishing there was the one that is meant for me too.
• My eyes averted away, seeing Marcus caressing Olivia’s stomach, leaning down and speaking to his unborn child, “Hi little baby, I’m so happy your safe in there, so grow up well and be good to your mommy and I will wait for you until you’re ready to meet the world and your daddy.”
• Hearing his words, I looked over at Talia who was looking so happy, watching the happy couple, smiling and wiping away her tears of joy.
• Like she could feel me looking at her, she turned her head as her eyes locked with mine, making me feel breathless as a silent thought crawled into my mind.
• If I don’t have my fated mate, maybe I could have a chosen one?
• The sound of it made my heart race, as I looked at her, letting my mind bring out all the memories I dug deep a long time ago, realizing that it might be possible but the question was would she be willing to give us a chance and maybe even become chosen mate?
