WHITNEY'S POV For some seconds, I was dumbfounded as I stared at Alpha Vicker. "Whitney, why are you looking shocked? It's just a suggestion for your son to bear my surname and it's left for you to accept or reject it. So, tell me, will you accept or reject my suggestion?" he asked. "Before I give you an answer, why do you want my son to bear your surname?" I asked. "Considering all that you suffered at the hands of Luther and his family, it will be unreasonable for you to give your son his surname which you also agree with. The second option is your son bearing your surname which I think is good. However, for reason best known to me, I want him to bear my surname. Don't ask me to tell you the reason because I won't tell you now but I promise to tell you later," he said. I was silent for a moment as I tried to guess the reason why he wants my son to bear his surname but I couldn't. Considering how much I love Alpha Vicker and my hope to be his mate someday, my son bearing hi
WHITNEY'S POV I was discharged from the hospital two days after I gave birth to my baby. Though I was supposed to be discharged the day after I gave birth, the doctor told Alpha Vicker and I that he needs to examine my baby and me for one more day. The day I was discharged from the hospital was on a Sunday afternoon. Alpha Vicker came to the hospital just a few minutes after one o'clock. I swaddled my sleeping baby in a blanket and gently carried him in my arms and we left the hospital. As Alpha Vicker and I headed to the car, Nurse Tessy who has become my friend walked closely behind us carrying the paper bag containing the remaining things Alpha Vicker bought for me. I shared the grilled chicken and snacks with Nurse Tessy. As we got to the car, Alpha Vicker opened the door to the back seat. "Whitney, sit in the back seat with the baby. It will be more convenient for you," he said. "Alright," I said.
WHITNEY'S POV Later in the day, I summoned the two new girls Alpha Vicker employed and I chose Kate, the one with the short hair to be assisting me in taking care of my baby. I chose her because I had earlier surreptitiously watched the two of them when they were working and noticed that Kate is more hardworking than the second one. Aside from that, she was calm by nature and was seemingly amiable and more polite. In the evening, I wanted to bathe my baby but didn't know how to do it. I spoke to Alpha Vicker about it and he spoke to Naomi, the cook who has three grown-up kids. He asked her to help me to be bathing the baby until I learn how to bathe him myself and she agreed. Naomi came to my room, bathe my baby, and helped me to dress him up. I thanked her and she left. As soon as she left, my baby started crying and I knew he was hungry. I sat on the bed, carried him in my arms, and started breastfeeding him. After breastfeeding hi
WHITNEY'S POV The cry of my baby made me wake up twice in the night to breastfeed him and when it was dawn, his cry woke me up again and I breastfed him. After breastfeeding him, he fell asleep and I set him in the cot. I sat on the bed and I was preoccupied. I must say that I found this new routine kind of stressful but I really didn't mind cos the love I have for my son was worth the sacrifice. Aside from that, I recall how I stood against all odds to keep my pregnancy, and now that I have given birth to my baby, I'm ready to face all the challenges that come with motherhood. I recall the conversation I had with my brother yesterday over the phone and the promise I made to him to call my parents this morning. I decided to call them. I reached out and picked up my phone from the top of the drawer and dialled my dad's number. After some seconds, he answered the phone. When I told them the news about my baby, they were overjoyed. They told me that Martin had earlier tol
WHITNEY'S POV After a few days of watching Naomi bathe my son, I learned how to bathe him myself and got used to my new life as a mother. Kate, the new maid, I chose to assist me was often in my room to help take care of my baby especially when I need to sleep during the day. All the staff in the house were treating me with the utmost respect and made me feel I am Alpha Vicker's mate. I must admit that it made me feel uneasy. Whenever I'm bored in the room and goes to chat with the maids, they always acted awkward and it was glaring they were no longer comfortable with me. The only staff that was comfortable with me was Kate, the new maid because she spent more time with me and my son. I asked Kate personal questions about her family and she told me that she is 21 years old and an orphan who has two younger siblings that depend on her. According to her, she has lived all her life in Nashville and her parents were quite comfortable financially but not rich. One fa
WHITNEY'S POV I woke up with a start as I heard a soft voice whisper my name three times in my ears. As I opened my eyes, I looked around the lit-up room with fear in my eyes. Since I came back from the hospital after giving birth to my child, I stopped switching off the light so that I can see my baby whenever I woke up. I thought I heard someone call my name or was it just a dream? I wondered. I sat up and moved closer to the cot. I leaned forward and looked at my baby. He was sleeping peacefully. I reached out and touched his chest and his heart was beating steadily. I heaved a sigh of relief. I glanced at the time. The time was 12:05 am. At that moment, I remembered that today is my birthday. Finally, I am 18 years old today. I remembered what Alpha Vicker told me and I was filled with anxiety to hear what he has been hiding from me. Suddenly, the light in the room went off and the room was pitch dark. My eyes widened with fear and I let out a gasp of shock a
WHITNEY'S POV For a couple of seconds, Alpha Vicker and I stared at each other. "Whitney, you smell like a mixture of vanilla, lavender, and jasmine. You smell so good and inviting and it's making my senses run wild," he said. "And you smell like the mixture of musk, sandalwood, and rosewood," I said in a whisper. "Oh, my goodness! Never did it cross my mind that you could be my mate," he said with disbelief. "Same with me. I'm as surprised as you," I said with a smile as joy filled my heart. "Can I come in?" he asked. "Yes, of course," I said as I stepped aside from the doorway. He sauntered into the room and I shut the door behind him. I turned around and saw him standing beside the cot and gazing at my baby with a smile on his face. "Justin is growing very fast. How old is he now?" he asked as he turned his head to look at me. "You ought to know his age. After all, you were the one who took me to the hospital and was there with me when I gave birth to him," I s
WHITNEY'S POV Alpha Vicker started kissing me ever so gently. I flung the bouquet on the bed and wrapped my arms around him. He let out a low moan and held me tightly and I clung to him. Our bodies pressed together heatedly. My soft body molded against his hard muscles as if we are Siamese twins. In a split second, our breathing became heavy as our lips pressed together and I could feel the rhythmical thud of his heartbeat. My eyes were closed as his kisses intensified. His tongue moved hungrily in my mouth and I began to moan as I savored the sweet taste of his lips. He started caressing my back as I felt his erection. His warm hands moved tenderly across my back and after some seconds, his hand moved slowly to my breasts and he cupped them. I could feel his erection pushing against my body as his hands began to fondle my breasts. After some seconds, his restless fingers on my breasts found my taut nipples straining against my nightgown. He began to use hi
