“BABY!” Bär yells through the halls as he returns from morning training.“Stop shouting!” Ingrid laughs, leaning out of her office door. “I’m here where I always am.”“And you better be alone,” Bär breaks out into a run, making his mate giggle as he slams and locks her door. “Inner office, Baby.”Ingrid rolls her eyes and moves into the inner office.Bär doesn’t give her a chance to protest before he pins her against the door.“I need you,” Bär breaths into their kiss.“I can see that,” Ingrid says as she reaches between them and undoes his pants.Bär holds her hands above her head with one hand and pulls her thigh up to his hip with the other. Ingrid has learned wearing pants is pointless, Bär will rip them when the urge takes over. Her skirt pushes up as Bär lines up with her core.“May I take you?” Bär asks.“Please, Baby, I need you too,” Ingrid whimpers.Bär smashes his lips to hers as he enters her. He squeezes the thigh he is holding, supporting her as he moves. Ingrid pu
Ari and Anderson help Lewis get to the funeral. There isn’t time for old friends to join them. Since Bär wasn’t allowed to attend, Monty spoke about his uncle. Ada made sure to cry on cue, making Vixen gag. Jillian (Emma’s Wolf)- I can feel something is wrong.Vixen- I can’t tell you. It will hurt my human; you know our rules.Jillian- I do know the rules. We can’t hurt our humans. We can’t hurt our mates. We can’t hurt another living creature, unless it is to save our own lives. We must not give away the misdeeds of our humans. I know the rules. But I also know you are named Vixen for a reason. Vixen- If I break the rules, the goddess may not give me another human.Jillian- True. But if your human is a bad human.Vixen- Do not ask me to betray my human. I believe she can be fixed. I believe she can be helped. I believe I can help her.Jillian- May the goddess bless your endeavors.Vixen watches the Caster, Lewis, whom she loves like the father he tried to be for them.
“Mom and Bär are coming,” Emma tells Ada as they sit down for breakfast.“I think we need a spelling on that word,” Lewis sighs. “I love they love each other. Makes me miss Caleb, but only because they remind me of Caleb and I.”“I think they are trying for a pup,” Ada jokes. “Can you imagine?”“Why wouldn’t they be trying for a pup?” Duke asks her.“Come on,” Ada laughs. “Mom is old.”“She is younger than me and Ari,” Lewis says with a smirk. “Women can have babies into their late forties. Ingrid is only 37.”Ada’s jaw drops.“What?” Emma asks with a laugh.“You are okay with the idea of Mom having a baby?” Ada asks her sister.“Yeah. I’m hoping all three of us will be pregnant at once,” Emma smiles at Duke.“I’m wearing condoms for a while,” Duke reminds her.“Party pooper,” Emma rolls her eyes.“Thank you,” Ada kisses his cheek. “I know it’s for me. Thank you.”“I don’t want to bring a child into this until we are strong. I want you and I to be as strong as me and Emma,”
Bär is working in his office a week later. He has read the same email five times.Buck- Dude, what did that say?Bär- I can’t remember. I need Ingrid.Buck- She is on her period and does not feel well.Bär- How do I make her feel better?Buck- Why ask me?Bär- You can ask Liesel.Buck- Oh, good thinking.Bär- Thanks.Buck- Leisel, Baby, you okay.Leisel- Yeah, it’s Ingrid who is suffering.Buck- What can Bär do? He is worried for her.Leisel- She wants a soft touch. Soft bedding, chocolate, extra salt chips, tissues, and sad movies.Buck- On it. Bär smiles when he hears what his mate needs. He starts by heading out to the market after asking the Omegas to fix his and Ingrid’s bed for them.While driving to the market, he calls Duke.“Mindlink? I’m down the hall,” Duke answer with a chuckle.“I’m on my way to the market. Ingrid is having a bad week and Liesel told me some snacks she wants,” Bär tells him. “She also is going to want to be alone for a while. I need you to chec
“I can’t wait to give Mom back this job,” Emma rolls her eyes as they go through emails.“It’s hard doing both this and our job. We should divide and conquer. I’ll do Mom’s job, you do ours,” Ada offers.Emma looks over at Ada.“You okay with me working alone with our mate?”“Emma, we have to share. You go ahead,” Ada waves her away.Emma smiles and heads to the office she shares with Ada and Duke.“Hey, Little Duchess,” Duke smiles. “I wanted to come get you both, but I know you have double work like I do.”“Is My Duke stressed?” Emma asks with a smile.Duke looks up with a smirk.“How can Little Duchess help with my stress?”“Oh, I think I have ways,” Emma reaches behind her and unzips her dress. As the fabric falls to the floor, Duke takes in her body.There are curves, her lace bra is bludging to hold back her breasts. Her tummy is tone and tight. The lace thong is also see-through.“Are we good?” Duke asks, standing up.“I want you,” Emma answers.“Bend over the desk,” Duk
“I want to thank our Pack,” Bär announces at dinner. “You all acted well, and I appreciate the time I got to spend with my mate. Our Grand Duke and his Duchesses plan to travel on behalf of the Royal Pack. I am pleased he can report on how our pack behaves. Long has the Royal Pack been the example of how Packs should behave. Thank you for setting the bar so high.”Everyone bangs on their table in applause as Bär sits down.“We are traveling?” Ada asks Duke with glee.“We are traveling to several packs in Europe, America and we will end at Conrad,” Duke tells them.“I can’t believe it,” Emma giggles.“I thought you girls would love the plans,” Ingrid smiles at them.“Mom, did you help set it up?” Emma asks.“I had to do something over the past two days,” Ingrid laughs. “Although, being pampered and loved was perfect.”“Every month for as long as we need to,” Bär smiles at her.“Hopefully, there will be a break soon,” Lewis comments not thinking.“Not too soon,” Bär gives a dry la
“ONLY DUKE!” Ada lays naked in her bed. She blacked out after her sixth orgasm and Duke gently carried her to their bed. Her face is stuck on Duke’s bare chest and Emma is on the other side. Ada looks around and realizes it's the middle of the night.“I feel you moving,” Duke says.“Sleep,” Emma moans.Duke kisses Emma's head and moves her to the side before turning to Ada.“Feeling better?” Duke asks her.“What you did was….” Ada looks into his eyes. She sees pain. She put it there. “It felt good.”“I didn’t use protection,” Duke tells her. “I may have gotten you pregnant.”Ada nods.“I understand,” Ada sighs. “I could hope Bär choses my child as his heir.”“It will never happen, Ada. If Bär doesn’t have a blood heir, Emma’s child will be heir,” Duke tells her.“You called me by my name,” Ada’s chin trembles.“I realized when you screamed his name, I will never have your heart. I won’t reject you, but if you want to reject me, I will accept it.”Ada starts to cry and shak
“Be careful,” Ingrid tells the girls as she hugs them again.“I’m sorry about last night, Mom,” Ada says, holding her mother.“Me too,” Ingrid says, holding Ada extra tight. “I love you.”“I love you too, Mom,” Ada pulls away and hugs Lewis next.“Bär not coming down?” Emma asks, not seeing him.“He is on a call,” Ingrid tells them. “Have fun!”Duke pulls his mates to the car.“They will have fun,” Lewis tells Ingrid.“I really hope Ada and Duke seal their bond,” Ingrid hugs herself.“You don’t think you can compete with your daughter?” Lewis teases her.Ingrid laughs.“I just hate seeing my daughter get rejected so much. Bär loves me, and I love him. Nothing will ever change that,” Ingrid says.It was a short flight to Paris.“We are in Paris,” Emma starts jumping up and down.“I can't believe we are here,” Ada looks out the window and sees the Eifel Tower.“We are meeting Alpha Jean and Luna Michelle,” Duke tells them.“We know,” Emma laughs.“Mom gave us the briefing books,” Ad
15 years later“Oliva,” Alexander calls after his daughter.“No Daddy,” Oliva yell back. “You will not take me to New York. I am staying here. You want to go back and be Mr. CEO, Mr. BigShot, Mr. Boss, GO! I’m staying with my family!”“I am your family too. I’m your father,” Alexander yells as she runs to Bär’s office.“Poppa,” Oliva yells not caring that Marya and Julia are there. “Don’t make me go.”Bär stands up and hugs Oliva. “What is going on?”“I want her to go with me back to New York,” Alexander tells them.“This is her home,” Marya says running to her Niece and hugging her.“You suck,” Julia says to Alexander.“Julia,” Bär calls her down. “Show a little respect.”“Sorry Uncle Alexander,” Julia says before sitting down.“I want to finish high school here with my friends,” Oliva tells him.“I know that,” Alexander rolls his eyes. “I mean for college.”“She is going to Conrad with us,” Marya says. “We are going to rule that school, with a Dear Friends and fellow Supernatur
“Duke?” Emma walks into the office an hour before the Royal Pack will honor Ariella. “My Duke, are you in here?”The lights are off and curtain is drawn. Duke is sitting behind his desk and holding a picture of his family. “I’m here,” Duke crocks out. “I just needed a minute before going in there and everyone talking about Mom.”“I remember Dad’s Funeral. All these people talked about what a loving gentle man he was. I was too young then to understand it was a bunch of bitches rubbing in my Mom’s face that they had slept with Dad. At least you won’t have any of that,” Emma sides into his lap.“That will be good,” Duke holds her. “But my concern is all the housekeepers and warriors who knew she was being abused and did nothing. What are they going to say to defend themselves. The ones who went to school with her and saw everyday what was happening but didn’t stand up. I don’t know how to face them. Luanne was one of them. So was the head chef, the several who work here. What
2 Years and 6 Months Later“Baby!” Bär screams as he runs toward Ingrid’s office after training. The new Omegas still giggle at him. The ones who have been there since the beginning smile at him with pride. Seeing the example the King sets for mates, makes all the kingdom happy.“Daddy,” Marya runs full force toward him.Bär smiles and kneels to hug her. She smiles as she throws her tiny arms around his neck. “Are you being helpful to Mommy?” Bär asks his daughter.“No,” Marya answers honestly. “Poppa!” Oliva runs to join them and Bär scoops her up as well.“Are you being helpful to Oma?” Bär asks Oliva.“No,” Oliva is also honest. “Poppa!” Julia runs to him too.“Hey,” Duke calls her attention making Julia change directions.“Daddy!” Julia hugs her father. “I help Mommy!”Bär looks at both Marya and Oliva. “So one of the girls is helping and the other two are doing what?”“Playing,” the girls say in unison. “Terrorizing everyone,” Luanne, the head housekeeper, tells him. “
Duke is standing next to Emma as she lays on the table.“You look funny with that mask,” Emma tells him making him laugh.“You feel better with the drugs?” Duke asks.“Better? I’m not feeling anything,” Emma smiles. “We will have our pup soon. If it’s a boy I want to name him something that has nothing to do with either family. Like Brian or Julian. Hell, Felix or Claus are fine too. ““I like it. Julian Felix Conrad,” Duke smiles.“For a girl Amalia or Hannah,” Emma tells him.“Or Jane, Alice, Julia,” Duke offers.“Julia Amalia Conrad,” Emma says with a smile. “I love it,” Duke kisses her head as a baby’s cries fill the silence. Duke looks at Emma who is smiling. “You okay?”“I really don’t feel anything,” Emma tells him. “If we do this everytime you can keep me pupped.”“Let’s see how you feel about this after the drugs wear off,” Duke kiss her again.“Lady Julia,” A nurse presents a baby girl to Duke.Emma starts laughing. “Bet you are regretting your playboy ways now.”“Not
“Your Grace if you don’t let her go, we can’t hook up the monitors,” The nurse tries to explain to Duke. “Please we will let you back in the bed with her once we have the monitors on. She can move around and do whatever, but she needs the monitor so we can make sure the new pup is safe.”“I’m okay My Duke,” Emma touches his pale face. “I promise I’m okay. You have to let them prep me. The contractions just started we are going to be here a while. We need to know our pup is okay. Just breathe.”Duke finally lets the nurse start their work. He is breathing heavily and looks ill to the nurses. He hears them but it sounds like they are in a tunnel. He stumbles a little. The head nurse calls for another team to come in to look after Duke.“Your Grace please sit down,” a nurse tells him. She takes his blood pressure and other vitals. “Your Grace you are having a panic attack. You need to take deep breathes.”Another nurse turns to Emma. “Do you know is he allergic to anything?”“
Ingrid spends her day in her room with the babies. Bär tries to keep his head above water in the office. Emma is running, eating and begging Duke to have sex again and again.Alexander tries to work from the suite but finds he needs an office to keep himself for turning on the TV or crawling into bed. He heads down to the offices to see Bär and runs into Emma in the hallway.“Every time I see you, I see her,” Alexander says. He looks at Emma’s round belly. “Did her belly get like this with Oliva?”Emma gives him a tight smile. “Yeah, it did. I never saw her eat as much as she did when she was pregnant. She wanted Oliva to be as healthy as possible. She loved you and Oliva very much.”Alexander scoffs. “I know that is not completely true. You and Ada have the same tell when you lie. The tips of your ears turn pink. The bigger the lie the deeper the color.”“Really?” Duke asks coming into the hallway from the stairs. “I never knew that.”“I never lie to you,” Emma tells him.“
After a long night of tears, Emma has one goal. Get this baby out. She wakes up Duke to fuck her hard, then she runs on the treadmill for three miles, after which she drinks a bottle of hot sauce. “Emma calm down,” Ingrid tells her. “Mom, I need this baby out. I need to replace Duke’s memories,” Emma sighs. Ingrid looks at her daughter with sympathy. “I didn’t know you were feeling that way,” Ingrid tells her. “I don’t want to feel this way,” Emma sits at the breakfast table waiting on Duke and Bär. “I don’t want to resent Bär, but I do,” Ingrid admits sitting across from her. “He could have left Ada and Alexander alone and just let them be happy. But he and his mother couldn’t leave her alone.” Emma looks at her mother in shock. “Mom, Ada murdered a King and brought about the deaths of two others. You can’t be serious about expecting anyone to overlook that.” Ingrid sighs but stands when Bär enters the dining hall. Emma also stands, waiting for Bär and Marya. When they arriv
Ingrid stands at her window looking out over the back garden. The moon is high now and the beams of moonlight hit her face. She looks back into the room with a heavy sigh. Her daughter is sleeping in a basket next to the bed. Her granddaughter is squirming in the basket next to Marya. Bär is asleep with one arm over his head and the other hand is resting on his dick. That makes her laugh.When she turns back to the moon, she believes she sees a face in the moon and her breath hitches.“Selene, if you have mercy in your heart, find a way to accept my daughter. I know she did horrible things to those I love most. She even treated the man who loved her like garbage. But Selene she is my child. You have blessed me so richly so completely. How can I be so blessed and my daughter so cursed? I don’t understand and my heart is both full and broken. Selene, help me understand why. I can’t stop the burn of my heart for my child. She was troubled so young. Was that my fault? Did I mak
“Do we give her a funeral?” Ingrid asks as she melts into Bär. “I feel like the answer is no. I feel like we need to let this all go and try raising her daughter to the best of our abilities.”“My daughter,” Alexander reminds them. “As her husband I get a say in the next steps. I get to decide what happens with my daughter. I know you think you can bully me because technically you are monsters. But I am a father now and nothing will come between me and her.”Bär holds Ingrid close to him as he answers Alexander.“Alexander, you know the agreement. Our granddaughter stays with us. You can visit anytime you want. She stays here with her wolf family. She will need a support system without her mother. You can’t provide that for her, but we can. I know she is your daughter. And 16 days ago, I would have told you, you are nuts. But today I can understand what you are saying. If anyone said to me what I am saying to you about Marya, I would tear them apart,” Bär rubs Ingrid’s back.
