Even in such a new environment it didn't take her long to sleep all thanks to his embrace, it simply felt like home between his arms.Wren woke up to her mate playing with her hair, it felt so peaceful so warm and satisfying, she snuggled into his chest mumbling a 'good morning'."Good morning beautiful, did you sleep well?" Wren nodded with a smile, "Go freshen up we have to leave soon." he ordered."Why?" she asked in frustration, she liked the place and she wanted to spend more time there."You need to eat breakfast princess, and you want to visit the spring, you forgot?" he reminded her."Oh you're right." she smiled sheepishly and left to get ready and wear her dress back.handing him his shirt, "i don't need it, you need a ride therefore i'll be in my wolf form." he clarified."Wolf? am i going to meet your wolf again today?" she asked nervously."yeah, i told you i need you to get used to him.""Will he hurt me or something, i mean..." "How could he hurt his mate, relax princ
While Zanthus, Eram and Sam sat in the spring calmly talking about some political issues, Wren and the others kept on playing with the water splashing it everywhere, laughter is heard from the end of the hallway outside the spring."I dare you do it again." yelled Ethan."Or what?" commeneted Rebecca splashing him with more water, Wren laughed and did the same."I told you many times that i won't go easy just because you are girls huh." he warned."Show us." teased a laughing Rebecca.Ethan splashed both of them with water non stop trying to get his revenge.While Rebecca didn't get fazed and splashed back, Wren lost her balance diving in."Ethan." Warned the Alpha King making him stop immediately. The young Luna emerged from the water coughing the water she inhaled out."No more playing, come here." ordered the King."But please." she begged giving him the puppy eyes."No." he simply responded warning her with his eyes.Wren sighed in frustration, she looked at her friends' sad faces
Wren woke up to an empty bed, remembering what happened yesterday she smiled shaking her head at how silly her husband can be.After all the drama he did to get her to call his name, he helped her into his shirt saying it's more comfortable than her sleeping gown and proceeded tickling the hell out of her until she gave up and called his name.Wren stood up carefully, freshened up then walked towards their living room. She remembered that he doesn't have work today yet he's nowhere to be found. The young Luna walked towards the next room that happens to be his study and that's where she found him."Good morning princess, did you sleep well?""Good morning your majesty, yes, how about you?" she responded standing at the door."Oh God, Wren we're still stuck there?" he sighed in frustration confusing her in the process."Yes i slept well. Come in." he added knowing that she understood nothing."Am hungry." Commented Wren."Breakfast on the way." he informed."Are you mad?" spoke a cauti
Zanthus looked at his innocent mate sleeping peacefully next to him, she would frown from time to time whenever she moves, he guessed it was because of her muscles aching.It was dawn already, yet the previous night was divine. Zanthus could swear he has never experienced something better than it, he felt blessed he loved every inch of his Luna.He could tell how nervous and scared she was yet he knew she was emotionally ready for him, he felt her every emotion through the bond, and he loved it.The Alpha King got surprised he can actually be gentle and caring, he took it one step at a time, stopped when asked and slowed when needed, and as much as he hated the tears in her eyes at first he knew he will satisfy her at last. She was too fragile between his arms he had to restrain his nature, Zanthus knew it was her night not his, and her pleasure mattered more than his yet he knew they were mated for a reason for his mate was nothing but pure bliss, forget all the mistresses he bedded
Sitting on the dining table for breakfast, Wren felt uncomfortable.The whole pack felt her new found aura, she oozed power and smelt a lot like the Alpha King.After the mating the pack felt more connected to their Luna and so did she, however she couldn't really figure the strange feeling."Eat." she heard her mate's command, Wren simply nodded and continued her breakfast.Rebecca looked at Wren winking, while the young Queen blushed and looked at her plate waiting non so patiently for breakfast to end so she could leave the dining hall..."You're coming with me." he spoke taking her soft hand in his."I'm feeling something strange, it's overwhelming." she commented after a long silence from the dining hall towards his study."It's normal, the bond between you and the pack is becoming stronger that's why, also let's try mind-link." he informed."How?" questioned a confused Wren."Think about something you want to tell me." he explained."You can read my mind?" she asked in panic.
It has been a week already, Wren kept on accompanying her mate on a daily basis. She learned a decent amount of information and skills and she felt all the more productive not just a consumer.Zanthus on the other hand was more than happy to teach her new things and show her life around the castle, their bond grew stronger and none of them liked staying away for a long period of time.It was night already and after a long day spent in his study Wren felt weary, she walked towards their bed in her silky nightgown and threw herself face first, sighing in satisfaction. Nothing could beat the contentment of when your body is relaxing after a long day.Wren didn't fight sleep, as a dreamless slumber consumed her, she couldn't even find it in herself to cover her shivering body, the fireplace was lit but the nightgown did nothing to provide some protection against the harshness of the weather.The young Luna felt a presence behind her, yet she didn't have to turn around to find out who it w
Taking off her hood, Wren ran towards the fireplace.Zanthus double locked the door to the cabin and proceeded walking towards his mate who sat happily on the couch facing the only source of heat in the room."I see you are happy, don't you like the castle or what?" he smiled patting her head.Wren shrugged, locking eyes with him she responded " I don't like staying in one place for a long period of time. I mean the castle is beautiful, extravagant even but i wanted something different tonight." she smiled knowing that he understood her very well.The young Luna put her head on his right thigh as she turned into a little ball on the couch, the flames lit her face and she looked simply ethereal. The Alpha King's thumb caressed her cheek without a thought as he looked at the fire, he felt blessed. His mate between his arms, safe and sound. She even got used to him and no longer denied him his rights. He wanted to give her the world and yet it wouldn't be enough for such an angel.Wren s
It has been a month, there was nothing other than the hustle and bustle around the castle's corridors.The King was on top of his duty, so was the queen. Nothing out of control other than emotions, wild emotions.The Alpha was never resilient to show his female how important her existence is in his life, and Wren grew fond of her mate; more than ever. She saw the good in him, the way he treats her, the way he handles her and her feelings.Until one eventful night, the Alpha king received a letter sent with a messenger stating that his father's kingdom is under attack and the rebellion is getting way out of control.To Zanthus it seemed like a strategical attack."What are you going to do?" asked a pale mate; she found herself aching to touch him or have any physical contact.Wren nestled her face in his neck as she straddled him only the velvety red sheets covering her frame."I will protect my father's kingdom at any price Wren." He spoke deep in thought."I know." She whispered his
9 years later 'oh for goodness sake Knox,' Sophia grumbled angrily, watching her mate stalk an 11 year old boy who had given their daughter Grace a rose from the gardens,'try Dante,' Venus scoffed, remembering how her mate had growled at a boy who called Athena pretty and complimented her dress, she remembered how she had to pull her mate to the side and give him a full scolding for being so overprotective,'at least you have one girl, I have two and a possessive crazy beta wolf to deal with,' Sophia grounded out, the couple now had another 3-year-old baby girl, she was the exact replica of her father but her features were soft, Nina, as Knox insisted they name her also had her fathers characteristics, 'where are they now,' Venus murmured, they were all out in the gardens, having a little picnic, their mates and kids had wandered off somewhere playing hide and seek, James and Gabriel said they would join them in a while because they had some work to do.'wow vee you've worked up
Searing pain gripped his entire being, his chest was heaving, his breath coming out in short uneven pants, and a vicious growl escaped his chest he felt like his lungs were on fire,he felt the bond break, and he felt his Lycan whine out in pain before he vanished, he heard screams around him but they fell deaf on his ears.Dante looked up, his vision blurry, all he saw was a nurse pulling the doctor back to the operation room, Knox trying to get him to stand up while James slipped to the floor unconscious.His senses were dulled out but the pain in his chest didn't, his head lolled back and rested against the wall, Sophia and Knox tended to him while Gabriel was with James, 'tell her to come back to me,' he rasped in pain, as Sophia gently cupped his cheek and cried, Knox's shoulders dropped in defeat, his friend just lost his everything, 'Dante please please get it together please, the babies-,' Sophia sobbed out, trying to get him to zone back in, gently shaking him but his eyes
2 weeks had passed since that incident, the air between the alpha and luna was tense but even a fool could tell they'd die for each other in a heartbeat, when problems would arise they'd put their differences aside and be there for each other to the fullest, because that was what love meant, to hold onto each other even when the storm is at its loudest, threatening to rip them apart.'i swear he's so dumb like its right behind you,' James screeched angrilyVenus giggled and continued to munch on her snacks while Sophia shook her head at them, they were watching a new show that Gabriel had suggested, and anything Gabriel suggests is always a must-watch,'i feel like the girl is the killer for some reason,' Venus muttered, she was due in a week and today of all days she felt better, she had the energy to sit at least and not feel like she was about to pass out every few minutes,they were waiting for the healer to arrive to give Venus her potion, Dante, Knox, and Gabriel were in the r
1 month later'stupid protective Lycan,' venue huffed angrily stuffing her 4th pancake in her mouth and chewing on it like she had all the time in the world,it's like the man didn't even know what space was, he was always after her, heck this morning he decided he wanted to carry her down the stairs after Venus had grounded out a firm no, the stubborn lycan picked her up and sauntered down the staircase.her angry outburst fell deaf on his ears, she was going to be round and fat in a week if this kept up, she was only two months along and he was acting like this, the thought of how he would be when she was a few months pregnant from now made her shudder.The first few weeks were hectic with the checkups and always being careful but she had now learned to get used to it.James and Sophia would visit every second day and they were also very protective of her, it wasn't only a friend thing but she was the luna carrying the future heir, so the protectiveness therein doubled.'hey soph,'
Venus woke up to blinding white lights, white walls, a hospital bed, and a very very fuming Dante who was watching her like a hawk, ready to pounce her, the pack doctor standing right beside him giving Venus a sheepish smile.'w-what happened?' venus asked, her throat parchedsilently Dante walked towards her, filled up a cup with water, and had her drink it, the pack doctor cleared his throat and looked up at venus smiling, 'congratulations luna, you're pregnant,'silence,silence so loud venus could hear her heart beating wildly out of her chest, blood roaring in her ears,'how long-''you're almost over a month pregnant now,' the pack doctor replied, sensing his alpha's heated gaze which he couldn't meet so he excused himself, saying he had to bring some tests back from the lab.a heavy eerie silence enveloped the room and venus could have sworn that the door Dante was glaring at would catch fire any second, or he would glare a hole through it.'say something,' Venus whispered mee
A month had passed since Knox and Sophia had their beautiful daughter and things had been going smoothly other than the fact that rogue sighting had increased a lot, this would happen every few years, rogues would reproduce amongst themselves a lot and they'd try getting into pack territory.the warriors would chase them off the territory but they wouldn't stop coming back, they wouldn't attack but they'd move around. Dante had been in contact with neighboring pack alphas to know that they were dealing with a similar situation, and dealing with all of that as well as trying to find an effective solution to the problem was had Dante busy for weeks straight, Knox would help now and then but he was mostly at home with the baby and Sophia which doubled work on Dante and Gabriel.it was after dinner that Dante and Venus finally got an hour to themselves, a soft kiss from Venus soon turned passionate and ended up with them making love right next to the fireplace in the living room,'i mi
'ARE YOU KIDDING ME KNOX,' Sophia screechedAll those wondering what happened, Sophia and Knox invited everyone over for dinner, Venus, Dante, James, Gabriel, and a few other friends of Knox and Sophia, long story short, right after dinner Venus and Sophia were messing around in the kitchen while getting desert, and Venus may or may not have jump scared Sophia which caused her water to break...it was complete havoc, to say the least.Sophia was actually a week overdue, so she wasn't surprised when her water broke, the heavily pregnant blonde was as calm as the sea but the same couldn't be said for her big mate who was knocking over chairs and decoration pieces in a rush to get the baby bag and zip Sophia to the hospital,frustrated at how her mate was sweating, INSISTING he carried her and actually swooping her up into his arms without waiting for her reply, acting like she was dying, Sophia had enough.'Knox,' Sophia seethed, trying to grab a hold of him,the big man paid no heed t
He had to find her, passing a look to Knox to take over the meeting he shifted and lunged across the room, he had to get to her.'Venus, baby where are you' he tried mind linking her but he got no response at all 'don't go anywhere and stay where you are' Pushing his legs faster he ran like his life depended on it, and it did, his life did depend on it,reaching the middle of the dense forest he tried finding paw-prints but found none, angling his head up he breathed in deeply, he found what he was looking for, her scent.Running in the direction the scent led him, after two minutes of constant running he came across a ledge, his heart sunk, this is where her scent ended and she wasn't here she coul- no no she couldn't, trying to calm his Lycan and himself, so lost in his inner battle of where his mate could be and if she was okay or not he wasn't aware of his surroundings and heart a twig snap to his right,jerking his head towards the side he stepped closer to the bushy area, ca
'what do you mean I won't be able to have pups?' Venus whispered in disbelief, her honey-brown eyes wide with unshed tears, as her lower lip trembled and the color in her cheeks heightened from the internal hysteria her body was feeling.Dante sighed and went to sit next to her on the bed, 'Venus, despite the fact that you have alpha blood running in you doesn't make you strong enough in regards to carrying my pup, I am a Lycan, a full lycan, not one part of me is a werewolf, a Lycan pregnancy is very different, its very painful and the mother has to be a lycan to be able to withstand and birth a healthy lycan pup, in this regard you cannot give birth Venus, I'm sorry, I can't stand the thought of losing my mate in the process of giving me pups, I refuse to put you through that.''b-but Sophia and Knox- e-even he was afraid to have pups but everything is oka-' Venus said in manic, her voice trembling as if trying to convince herself and Dante it would work,Dante sensing her panic
