'So in a way, it's your first kiss,' James said, as he helped Venus fix her closet.While Sophia sat on the bed, leg over the other, her skirt riding up as she sat, revealing her slim model-like legs, and Venus stood in a towel with her hair dripping."In a way," Venus mumbled, recalling how gently but firmly Dante had kissed her, opening her mouth with his to slowly thrust his sinful tongue into her mouth and slide it against hers, then nibbling and sucking on her lower lip, it was as if a starved man was allowed food after a wait that lasted for eternity.The truth was, Venus was shying away from him."Bitch you better call me when shit like that goes down mhmm," James said sassily, cocking his hip out.Venus then changed into her a pair of grey sweats and a plain white fitted shirt, And since their mates were out for a pack meeting they decided to be productive and bake some brownies and cookies. As they blasted Post Malone in the kitchen and tried to get Venus to loosen up, they
Venus woke up to the sun glinting through the windows, lazily she opened one eye while yawning and rubbing the other, stretching lightly, she felt like she had been ran over by a truck.Just then there was a knock on the door and the packhouse cook, Elsa, a wonderful lady in her 50s, peeked through the door and smiled warmly at Venus."Good morning darling, how are you feeling?" She asked, patting Venus's cheek in a motherly way."I'm good Elsa thank you," Venus said smiling."Well darling go freshen up and get ready, I've cooked breakfast for you, come down then before it gets cold," Elsa said."Wheres Dante?" Venus asked"Oh the alpha had some meetings to attend to, he told me to make you breakfast and make sure you have it to fix your disposition from last night," Elsa said, walking out of the room.Venus then freshened up and wore blue shorts and a soft colored yellow tee.She then had her breakfast and went to grab a book to read, as she sat in the living room with a warm mug of
"Attach the oxygen mask,""Install two drip bags," "Heart beat monitor fluctuating,""Luna stay with us,"A rush of voices heard but a muscle not moved, she lay still on the hospital bed once again, wanting to blink and move but her body didn't allow it.Her wolf was back, she felt it.Her memories were back too and she felt as if she was floating amongst its abyss, her body numb and cold. Yet something- someone was calling out to her.Her mates lycan was beckoning her to regain consciousness, to come back to her and she heard the call like a siren, mustering up all of her energy she twitched her eyes, her body wanted to shut down but her wolf was pushing through, needing her mate."Dante," she spoke but her voice came out hoarse.In a flash her hand was encompassed in a large rough one, sparks ignited and she heard the fast beeping of a monitor, her heart beat.It was as if someone was giving her strength.Her wolf was out with the touch of her mate.Dante watched Venus's body twitc
"I don't know she was freaking out she wouldn't tell me over the phone,""She said nothing at all ?!""Not a word, but her voice was shaking, something is very wrong with her Venus I'm telling you!" James exclaimed.As Venus and James got into the car to drive over to Sophia's place after getting a distressing call of her sobbing but not stating what was wrong."Goddess help," Venus mumbled, worried for her friend.After the car ride filled with tense silence both the friends upon reaching Sophia's house sprinted out of the car and towards the main door, James practically barrelling through it.They went in to see the house was a mess, broken chairs, photo frames on the floor, shattered glass and pillows everywhere. Now the intense worry kicked in, they picked up her scent, she was in her room upstairs.They ran up and into her room to see Sophia curled into a ball on her bed, sobbing."SOPHIA," they both exclaimed and embraced their friend into a tight hug, as she held onto them both
"It would be better if sophia and Knox talk about this alone," Dante said, his eyes giving a knowing look to Knox whose jaw was ticking all the while as he stared at his mate who was wringing her fingers together out of nervousness, not looking up at him."N-no, I don't wanna talk to him alone, had he been civil he would have sorted everything out with me then, he took it to this level, if he has something to say he can say it right now," Sophia said, trying to look brave but she silently shook under her mates penetrating gaze, as he gave her a 'we shouldn't do this here' look."Sophia, baby it'll be better if we talk about this alone," Knox stated, this time speaking gently, his grey eyes now assuring, but Sophia stubborn as always refused her mate's request and looked the other way."You wanna know why I did what I did?" Now it was Knox's turn to lose his temper, as his handsome face turned dark and his eyes became cold."You wanna know why I didn't want you pregnant??"BECAUSE MY M
'Try again love you know i have you exactly where i want you to be,' he whispered huskily, giving her a devilish smirk, flashing his canines.She bit her lip and contemplated what to do next, he had her trapped."You're at my mercy amour," he teased again"Can you shush please im trying to concentrate, i dont know what to do next," she said hesitantly, bent forward."Anything you do, I'll love," he said suggestively, as Venus frowned at him and then caught onto the double meaning, giving him a horrified look and threw a chess piece at him."Monster!" She burst out, smiling at him"Just because you're losing love, look I have your queen cornered," Dante pointed out innocently, watching her huff and puff in frustration.Venus made the next move that cost her the game, her jaw dropped when Dante announced checkmate, furious that she lost, she pushed the chess game aside and tackled Dante to the carpeted floor, as they wrestled on the ground in the living room and with Dante thoroughly
"Dante please," venus moaned out, as she tossed to her side in their bed, the alpha stood next to the foot of the bed and shook his head, unable to see his mate in pain."Hush venus, have the painkiller please," Sophia cooed, "That's not gonna work soph and you know that, unless they complete the mating process she's gonna be going through this, how about we put her in an ice tub, that will take her heat down a bit," James suggested.As Venus looked at Dante through the tears in her eyes, he clenched his jaw, hating that he wanted to take her pain away but he couldn't, she wasn't ready.While Venus in her mind was crying for herself, she thought Dante didn't want to complete the mating process because he wasn't ready to finish the bond, that maybe he was having second thoughts about her.A while later they had venus settled into the ice tub, her pain waves went down a little because of it while Dante threw himself into work, she was looking at him earlier in a way that broke his hea
"Don't you ever think I'm not ready, that I'm not ready for you Dante, you mean everything to me, you're my soul mate for goodness sake," venus rushed out, throwing her arms up in frustration, as Dante bit back a smile at how adorable she looked when she was frustrated."Anything else madam," he teasedVenus realized he was enjoying her rant and was teasing her over it, she gave him an accusing look, huffed, and crossed her arms over her chest, a pout on her lips.Dante laughed out at her antics and yet again captured her lips into another kiss, the last one venus started ended with them both getting too overheated.After he lifted his lips off hers she didn't let him move, keeping her forehead pressed to his, her arms around his neck and his still around her waist, both breathless from the kiss."I love you,"Dante froze, they had said it to each other before, but every time felt like the first."I love you more," he husked out.Venus slowly blinked her eyes open to see her mate look
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
