25. Kai

It was two a.m., and I was awake again, unable to sleep.

But it was more than tossing and turning and being overheated. I was determined to find my third mate and had to return to where I’d scented him. The house we’d inspected.

I crawled out of bed, pleased I’d told Dante to sleep in the middle so I wouldn’t disturb him by getting up to pee. The baby was pressing on my bladder, so I spent most of the night and day running to the bathroom, and the rest of the time, on my back in bed or on the couch. My bump was so big I had to peer over the top when watching TV.

Not wanting to waste time getting dressed, I pulled a hoodie and track pants over my PJs, grabbed my phone and wallet, and tiptoed to the door. But I paused with my fingers grasping the handle. My belly tightened, and I bent forward, pressing my other hand on the door.

What was I doing wandering around in the middle of the night, alone? In a city I barely knew? But I’d been to the house we inspected, and Dante had put the address in my phone, in case I got lost.

Gideon told him that was silly because 1) where would I go, and 2) if I wandered away, they would scent me. Dante gave himself a nuggie, something he’d seen on The Secret Lives of Pinedale. My friends used to do that to me, and I giggled while Gideon rolled his eyes and gave Dante a bear hug.

Out on the street, I wrapped my arms around myself. Not because it was cold—it wasn’t—but because I’d never been on Martslock’s streets in the middle of the night. Not even with my shifter mates.

There were few people on the street, but with the hoodie and my face in shadow, no one recognized me. It was odd that now, when fewer fans knew who I was, I was disappointed not to be constantly asked for autographs.

But I kept my head down, fearful of someone trying to steal my wallet, not that the city had much crime according to Dante. Maybe because in their spare time, everyone was watching TV.

I approached a taxi stand and showed the driver the address. He told me to get in. Driving through the darkened streets, I almost told him to turn around, and after five minutes in the back seat, I’d nibbled, bitten, and torn my nails.

A cramp gripped my stomach, and I grunted. The driver studied me in the rearview mirror and asked if he should take me to a hospital.

“I have a few weeks until my due date.”

He pulled up outside the house, and in the middle of the night, the house didn’t appear bright, cheerful, and welcoming. Instead, the shadows cast by the tall streets gave off a sinister, menacing vibe.

The driver peered at the house with its For Rent sign in the front yard. “Are you sure this is the place?”

“Y-Y-Yes.” But I made no move to get out until the driver opened his door and the unmistakable scent of an alpha wafted into the car. I fumbled with the door, cursing at my clumsiness and anxious to race into the house. But there was no one living in the building.

Why was I here? Because this was the only place I’d scented my third mate. It was a start and an end. If he’d scented me after I left the other day, he might come back. Perhaps he’d left a note.

“Do you want me to wait?” I paid the driver as my stomach cramped again, and I leaned on the car and waited until it passed.

“I don’t have enough cash on me.” I hadn’t thought this through and would have to contact my mates to come get me.

“I’m at the end of my shift, so I’ll stay for ten minutes.”

I thanked him and breathed through the pain in my belly. He opened his mouth as if to say something but snapped it shut, and I brushed past him.

“There’s a light on inside.”

He was right. In the kitchen. It was possible one of the realtors had flicked it on during the day and forgotten to turn it off.

I trod carefully over the grass and up the path. Did I ring the doorbell or go around the side of the house to the back door? Unlike when I met Gideon, I wasn’t afraid of the alpha’s scent but welcomed it as it drew me in. If there was no one in the house, I’d scribble a message, but I had to find out.

The scent had captured me, as if I were walking the plank on a pirate ship. There was no way back, only forward to my fate. Instead of waiting at his vehicle, the driver followed me. He was a sweetheart, making sure I was safe.

A stream of light fell on the grass, and I stepped into it, shading my eyes as I looked at the window, hoping my mate would appear. But the door flung open and both me and the driver gasped. He took my arm and leaped in front of me.

“Don’t come any closer,” the driver warned.

The man’s face was masked by shadows, but it wasn’t necessary to know his name or what he looked like, though I was curious about the size of his cock.

“It’s okay. He’s my?—”

“Mate.” The alpha walked onto the deck, but I still couldn’t see his face.

“Young people today,” the driver muttered. “Meeting their mate in the middle of the night.” He stalked toward the car, saying over his shoulder, “I’ll be going.”

“No, don’t.” I bent over, a contraction tightening my belly. Oh gods, I needed Dante and Gideon.

“I’m here.” My new mate was at my side, holding me up.

“My water just broke. I’m in labor!”

Find out what happens in the dramatic conclusion…

I was hit by a train and woke up in another world—one where I was famous!

I thought I hit the jackpot with my wolf mate. He is kind, protective, and exactly who I need in my life. And then one day—poof, I run into my bear mate and the three of us make it work. I’m happier than I ever dreamed possible.

My life is exactly how it should be.

Fate disagrees and sends me Seymour, just in time to help deliver my baby. Now I have to balance my life as a father of a newborn while I begin my life with my new dragon mate, and keep the life I have with my wolf and bear from falling apart. Easy peasy… or more likely the most difficult thing I’ve ever done.

Met My Dragon And Went Into Labor is the final book in the sweet with knotty heat, light, novel-esque MM+ mpreg romance series: Reborn In Another World. It features a pregnant omega discovering that his fated mates might be two of three, his alpha dragon mate who delivers his baby the day they meet, an alpha wolf and bear shifter ready for their new lives as fathers, and an unexpected pregnancy. This isekai style story introduces a third mate, one Kai will gladly share. While mpreg is possible in this omegaverse series and ends with a delivery or two, not all books will feature a new baby (this one will have two).
