Chapter 32.-3
He had, but this was the first time he’d seen me naked after hearing about my psychological scars. I felt more vulnerable than ever. “You don’t have to be here for this,” I muttered. “You don’t have to
be here for me. I’ll do this myself.”
“The exam?”
“The rearing of the child,” I snapped. “I absolve you of fatherhood. Or better yet, I lied. You’re totally not the father. I banged ten other wolves that same night.”
Rhyson just leaned against the wall and watched me quietly. When Tessa returned, she squeaked.” Uh… Rhyson, you probably shouldn’t be here.”
He didn’t move, and the door opened and Saul came in, and he also frowned. Rhyson looked at him
coolly. “I’m not leaving.”
“You, sir, are absolutely leaving if the lady requests it. We believe in privacy here,” Saul thundered.” And I believe your own healer has requested that you leave. Please step out.”
Rhyson straightened and looked at me. “I’m getting awfully tired of people telling me what to do.”
I knew what he meant. He could make every wolf here do what he wanted and kneel before him. I
swallowed hard. “Join the club.”
Growling, he turned to Saul. “Is there any way to tell the paternity of the baby now?”
For fuck’s sake! The door was still open, and his voice carried. I wanted the earth to open up and swallow me whole. Closing my eyes, I willed away the tears.
“There is a procedure, but it is incredibly painful for the mother,” Saul said calmly.
His sentence was met with silence, and I opened my eyes. Enough was enough. “Do it,” I muttered.
“I had hoped that was enough, but it is also incredibly dangerous for the baby, and I will not perform it, nor will I allow it to be performed in my clinic.”
Rhyson turned and left without a word. The door closed, and I knocked my head back and blew out my breath. “Is that true?” I asked. “Or did you just want to get rid of him?”
“It is true,” Saul said cheerfully. “I will let your healer perform the exam, and then I am going to teach her several techniques she might be able to employ to keep an eye on the babe while you are without the equipment. How far along are you?”
Time had lost most of its meaning since we’d come to the mountain. How long had we been here? “Eight weeks, I think.”

“Excellent. Would you like to know if you’re carrying a boy or a girl?”
Clam
A boy or a girl. Would that make it more real? Tears welled up in my eyes, and I nodded. Saul took my hand and squeezed it ently. There was so much fucking kindness here in the middle of
nowhere. It was actually starting to hurt.
“Then let’s not keep you waiting.”
