Pregnant With Alpha’s Genius Twins – Chapter 248
Victor wakes the next morning with Evelyn curled in his arms, her head tucked neatly under his chin.

Usually, the last thing he’d want to do is get out of bed when his mate is wrapped soft and warm in his arms. But today is…special. Or at least, he intended it to be. Doing his very best not to wake her – Evelyn being asleep was actually a pretty big part of the plan – Victor slowly moves his body away from hers, his mouth pulled into a grimace as he silently prays that she doesn’t wake up.
