"Then I guess we should wait for a bit and see," the doctor said with a nod of his head. I felt my throat constrict as I waited in anticipation to see whether or not my baby would transform. Everyone stared at the screen in silence, and I was scared to even breathe. Suddenly, I felt an intense movement inside of my belly and knew that my baby had just started moving significantly. My eyes widened as I focused my attention on the screen. At first, nothing seemed out of the ordinary, and all I could see was my baby kicking, moving his arms, and tossing and turning in my belly."Oh my..." I murmured before my hands flew to cover my mouth. I was so shocked that I couldn't stop staring, wondering if my eyes were playing tricks on me. "Did you see that?" Prince Leonard asked from close to me. I nodded my head as I kept on staring at what seemed to be an abnormal transformation. At first, I had kind of expected that my baby would somehow morph into his wolf form, but that wasn't the case.
**3 years later**One of the days that Prince Leonard dreaded the most finally arrived. After trying to put it off and holding the fort for a bit more than 3 years, it seems that he could no longer have his way regarding the matter."I don't want to be king," Prince Leonard muttered darkly."I guess there's nothing that you can do about that," I replied before grinning at him. I had always known that the prince did not want to become the next king. However, as fate would have it, he was not only the first prince to produce an ultimate alpha son, but he was the only one. We found out that the doctor was right about my body being able to accommodate the growth and transition of our baby to full-term. That did not mean that the pregnancy journey was easy for me. In fact, I truly kept everyone excited and on edge right up until the birth of our child. Thankfully, Prince Leonard was adamant in ignoring all past customs that were in support of natural delivery for the sake of both my safet
"I guess we can both go and talk Prince Darius into taking over in your place?" I suggested before smiling hopefully."I honestly wish that things were that easy," Prince Leonard said with a sorrowful shake of his head.As the years passed and the king grew older, there was even more pressure on the prince to take over the throne from his father. After Regina's unfortunate miscarriage, she never managed to conceive another child with Prince Florian. Around two years later, they called it quits, and Regina ultimately moved out of the palace to return to her home. I never got a chance to speak with her, but the rumors said that she was happy to move out of the palace. I took comfort in the fact that she would be away from all the politics and hoped that her relationship with Prince Florian ended on a positive note. Prince Florian wasted no time in returning to his old ways, and he refused to get into another serious relationship; marriage was also the furthest thing from his mind.Altho
I didn't like the idea of other people coming into contact with Logan unless it was absolutely necessary. It wasn't like I didn't trust them, but I felt overly protective and couldn't stop thinking about all the things that could go wrong. It took me many months for me to get accustomed to receiving help from various nurses and caretakers. In the end, I had to admit that having them around helped tremendously, and I was thankful for having that luxury offered by the prince. At least, we could take turns watching over our baby and catching up on some sleep.Our baby was a very big eater, and according to the doctors, he grew up so fast and was far above the average on the growth curve. Although this seemed like good news at first, I soon found out that my body couldn't produce enough milk for baby Logan's consumption. Trying to eat more and sleep more proved inadequate in helping me produce enough milk. That was probably the first time that I truly felt that I had failed as a mother. I
I didn't think that we would have the chance to communicate with our child so early in his life like this. I couldn't help but hope that the prince could have a conversation with our son."I'm sorry to break it to you, but it's not as easy as you think. Just as a human baby takes time to develop his vocabulary in the human language and speak it, something similar happens to wolves. Even though I can understand him, he's only saying very basic words and starting to do quite a lot at that," the prince said before letting out a soft laugh. He shot me a glance that told me it was too bad, but instead of feeling regretful, I found it entertaining and quite funny instead. "I guess our boy is going to be naturally bilingual right from the start," I said with an approving nod of my head.Raising baby Logan was challenging, yet it also felt very rewarding at the same time. I wouldn't have chosen to have it any other way. I was proud of being my son's mother and Prince Leonard's partner. Howev
I felt like there was no need for any complex ceremony to bind us together when our hearts were already one. I was already more than thankful for the small family of three that I have built with the Prince, and getting married formally didn't matter much to me."You look like you don't want to marry me," Prince Leonard said, without hiding his disappointment."That's not what I said," I quickly denied, before he would get the wrong idea. It wasn't like I didn't want to marry Prince Leonard, the idea of marriage just didn't seem so significant to me anymore now that I was sure that I had the prince's love and also baby Logan."Now that Logan has grown up somewhat, I feel like it is the right time for us to finally get married. The king, my father, also wants to grant you an official title as my wife and also as Logan's mother," the prince explained patiently before he flashed me a hopeful smile.If anything, it was probably his smile that convinced me to go along with whatever he had p
"I agree that he seems to like it. Maybe, Logan just feels that his wolf is truly a part of him," I added my own observation. "Realizing that perhaps it is possible to live without pain and fear of the wolf inside us makes me think that perhaps it isn't so bad," the prince said before grinning my way. "I hope that you are happier now," I stated my dearest wish. "I'm definitely happy, and that is mainly thanks to you. Honestly, before I met you I hated everything about the wolf world and the fact that I was a part of it. However, since we've been together, I've been feeling extremely thankful for the wolf inside of us and our fate that brought us together. I mean, I might have never met you otherwise," the prince said before he suddenly placed a kiss against my cheek. I stared at him with wide eyes because his sudden display of affection definitely caught me off guard."Let's get married, Mila," the prince proposed to me again.I wanted to respect the prince's decision but that didn
"Is this me here in the photo?" I asked, although I had pretty much guessed the answer. "Yes, that is you, and those two are your parents," the prince confirmed my suspicion. "Why are there photos of my family in here?" I asked as I started to panic inside."This is a very old book that has been passed down from generation to generation in my family," Prince Leonard explained. Countless questions rushed into my mind as I wondered how a book that was passed down in his family could possibly have photos of my family. Clearly, those photos were from very long ago, at the time when I was just a young girl. "Why are there photos of my family in this book? What does my family have to do with anything?" I asked, staring intently at the prince’s face. I knew that this was the reason why Prince Leonard decided to show me the book. Whatever the answer was, it must be quite complex and controversial because the prince had a very conflicted look on his face. "Please tell me. I really need to
