My brother's best friend knocked me up.

I don't like the way he looks at me, or his intoxicating smell.

I don't like how he follows me around and acts all protective as though he owns me.

Anything between us is strictly forbidden, and yet he manages to impregnate me…

I lost my mate, and I don't believe in second chances.

But I can't ignore his impeccable body, so close to mine.

I can't ignore his growl that says I'm his.

I need to get away before he digs his claws into my heart and tears it apart.

He won't back off and gets ever more territorial.

He's got me up against a tree and makes me endure his unbearable teasing.

He strokes a tear from my cheek and brings out my pain.

Our secret can't come out into the open, but my belly is growing with his pup.
