Chapter 92: How did he get pregnant?
"So, you’re saying Michael might be..." Noah gulped, hard to believe it. "...Pregnant?"
"Yes, sir." Sebastian answered his expression firm as always.
"But... how’s that possible?" Noah asked, dropping his head worriedly on his hand and Sebastian cleared his throat, ready to give a fully detailed explanation to his question.
He put on his teaching glasses that glinted and drew down a whiteboard that apparently had a diagram of two people having sex. Wherever did he get it from?
"You see, sir." He began, with that serious expression on his face. "The way a female gets pregnant is when the Alpha puts his..."
"I know how a female gets pregnant, Sebastian." Noah interrupted him, and Sebastian tossed away the glasses and rolled the whiteboard away, naturally resuming his position, standing at attention with his hands behind his back.
"Then what would you like to know, sir?" He asked but Noah did not say anything and instead covered his face with his right hand and sighed.
He had completely neglected the possibility when he was having day and night intercourse with Michael.
He never once used protection and he never pulled out either. So, it was only natural for him to get pregnant, right? But why had it never crossed his mind? As if he felt it was impossible since he was originally a man.
He began to tap his index finger on the desk, thinking long and hard with his eyebrows gently furrowing and then greatly knitting together before they returned to normal and he closed his eyes.
Maybe it was because they got through his rut without any problems and Michael didn’t show signs of pregnancy thereafter.
He had given him that period without touching him because he was being cautious. He wanted to observe if there would be any changes with Michael, but there weren’t, so he thought it wasn’t that easy to get his female pregnant.
He thought it had something to do with his ’will’ to conceive a child but apparently, it wasn’t. It was just random, and the female would get pregnant regardless of whether he wanted it or not.
He hadn’t been educated on females enough to understand what was going on with Michael or how to get them pregnant.
Because of how Michael seemed ill despite his temperature being normal, Noah had asked Sebastian to look into Michael’s condition in code as he delivered pizza that day. (In Chapter 83)
He just next expected it to be something related to pregnancy.
Of course, it would’ve been better to run some tests on Michael, but at that time, he had no idea his identity would be exposed so soon, and Michael would find out the truth, so he couldn’t have a werewolf doctor check him.
But everything changed. With his identity exposed, his secret revealed, and getting back to his position, he could take him to get checked properly.
With the news Sebastian brought him, it was still uncertain but he felt it was right to have him see a doctor right away.
But... He just declared war on the elders’ circle and his father. They still had a lot of influence throughout the pack and family so he had to be careful.
He couldn’t risk putting Michael in danger.
But... He clenched his fist... He really wanted to see Michael.
He would be careful. He didn’t need to tell him about the possibility of him being pregnant just yet, so he would just take a quick look at him, hoping he was no longer mad to the point his blood would boil.
"How come he didn’t get pregnant all that time?" Noah asked with a mumbled tone, but Sebastian took it as he was asking a question out of curiosity, and once again, he put on his teaching glasses and drew down a whiteboard that now displayed a pregnant female.
(Just take it however you see it. It’s for the comedy, lol)
"So, you see," he began, and this time, Noah did not interrupt him. "Usually, it’s common knowledge that Alphas can get their females pregnant during their rut because they’re incredibly fertile at the time and ready to breed. But that’s the case for Alphas. If the female isn’t ready to conceive then it won’t work out no matter how many times you ejaculate inside them."
"So why now? Is he suddenly ready to have a baby or something?"
"As you know, sir, males that have been marked go through a full body reconstruction so that they can have a woman and be capable of carrying a child." Sebastian explained. "They suffer from a fever for more than a week or so. Some even last as long as a month. And some don’t make it through the reconstruction and die from the heat."
Noah gulped. It was a good thing Michael’s didn’t last that long. It was no wonder he had stopped breathing for a while.
But he was glad he did not die from there.
Even if he had not caught feelings for him back then, he was still worried to his bones because his only benefactor was going to die.
If he died, he would be no different from a blind wolf out on the streets, not knowing where the danger would surface.
And... Death wasn’t exactly a pleasant something.
Watching someone die... He was used to it since he had fought against a few Lycans at some point but... For someone like Michael who only thought of death as his way of escaping the world, he felt his heart ache for him.
He did not know if it was the fear that triggered his memories because it was at that moment that his memories started flooding back like a tsunami.
"After the body reconstruction," Sebastian continued, slowly taking off the glasses and putting them away in his inner pocket. "...the female is still not complete."
"How come?"
"They have to take in the Pheromones of their Alpha and also be joined through intercourse. It’s something like getting the female familiar with the Pheromones and the ’size’ of their Alpha. And so, they can not get pregnant in that process." He concluded by saying. "After that point, the female is ready to carry a child, but the Alpha has to work hard, of course. Most Alphas in this family simply visit their fully reconstructed females when their rut comes so they don’t have to bother ’trying’ to get them pregnant."
Noah was pushed into his thoughts.
