The Alpha

Chapter 60: EPILOGUE

Scarlet's POV

The surface I'm laying on is so soft and warm. Why do I feel so cozy? Where am I? My eyes begin to flutter as they find the light streaming in. My hand is trapped and covered in tingles and I know it must be because of Ethan. I finally manage to force my eyes open and find myself in a hospital bed. Ethan's head is resting on my covered lap as he sits in a chair pulled up next to the bed. One of his hands are clasped around mine and his eyes are closed. His breathing is slow and steady and it is obvious that he's asleep.

Carefully, I try to sit up without waking him, but I'm unsuccessful. As soon as I move an inch, Ethan's head shoots up and frantically looks around. When his gaze lands on me, a huge grin immediately spreads across his handsome, chiseled face. His beautiful blue eyes light up but I can tell he's tired and his face is covered in stubble. How long have I been out? Oh goddess! What about the baby? "Ethan..."

My voice comes out worried and it's like Ethan can read my mind as he speaks softly, "Our pup is fine my love. It's only been a couple days. You just needed some rest."

I let out a sigh of relief as Ethan reaches out and lightly strokes my cheek and I nuzzle into his hand, savoring his touch. "And Cassia?"

"She's fine too. Just woke up this morning."

"And what about everyone else?"

He sighs and scratches the back of his head before answering, "There were a few casualties, but not many. There were some injuries. Caleb got a chunk of muscle torn from his thigh so he's in the hospital right now healing. And Will got a broken arm but he should be all healed within a week or so."

I nod and he tucks a lock of hair behind my ear as his eyes continue to watch my face. It's like he's trying to memorize every single detail as he stares at me lovingly. Butterflies flit around my stomach and my heart flutters in my chest. "I love you," I state to him and he moves to the bed to sit beside me, cupping my face in his hands and giving me a deep, languorous kiss that leaves me feeling breathless.

When he finally pulls away from me, he replies, "I love you too angel." He sits there for a moment before taking my hands in his and letting them rest in my lap. His gaze drops to our entwined hands before coming back to meet mine with a questioning look. "Why didn't you tell me you were pregnant? How long have you known?"

"I just found out when the battle was starting. Cassia could somehow tell and had told me. I didn't really have the chance to tell you," I answer.
