I woke up this morning in my own bed with the man who is my world holding me tightly. So tight, in fact, that I felt like my bladder was going to explode. When I tried to wiggle out of his arms, he would tighten his hold. I started tapping his arm, and softly saying his name, but all I could get out of him was a groan. I started laughing, “Aidinth!” He finally opened his sleepy eyes saying, “Huh?” I laughed, “I need to pee and your grip on me is about to make my bladder explode.” He chuckled, “Sorry. I didn’t mean to.” I laughed, “I know.” He let go, and I got out of bed. After using the bathroom, I turned on the water to get in the shower.
As soon as the water was warm, I got in and started washing my hair. As I was rinsing the conditioner out,

Ugh! What a long night! Supper went well, I was up late making sure the kids had plenty of food made, so that all they had to do was heat it up.Ityand Brenna took turns waking up to feed the puppy all night. They started getting a tad cranky, but they knew that it would all be worth it to have another wolf in the wild. They reallydidn’twant to see the baby die, just because theydidn’tfeel like gettingup. I woke up, took my shower, got dressed and walked downstairs. When I reached the main floor, I saw Adrien and Julien sitting with Brenna andIty. I smiled, “Hey guys! How’s it going?” Adrien replied, “It’s going great with us. Poaching calls havealmost completelystopped now, which is why we h
When we reached King Mateo’s castle, I was taken aback by just the sheer size and beauty of the area. We got out of the vehicle, and I just wanted to get an up-close look at the plants. There were massive Cypress trees all over the place, andreally prettyflowers in the gardens in front of the castle. There were purple Irises, Hibiscus, Blue Sage, and then I saw a bush I had never seen or heard of before. It had a strange-looking red flower on it. I asked Queen Judia, “What is that bush called. I have never seen that flower before.” She chuckled, “It’s called a Strawberry Bush. I had to ask about them too.” I smiled, “I’m definitely a fan.” That was when I heard a deep growl, and I knew it wasn’t Aidinth. I looked around, then heard the growl ag
All heads turned to the direction of the gunfire. King Mateo’s face immediately turned red in anger, “This is what I was talking about.” I matched his gaze, “Let’s go.” He shook his head, “Not a chance, Princess. Aidinth, Rule, and I can handle it. I’m going to drop you and my queen off right here. I can’t have either of you getting hurt.” Alpha Arnou approaches us and says, “Ladies, we have lunch set up in the dining room for you. You are welcome to it.” Queen Judia and I got off the boat as Alpha Arnou boarded it and they took off toward the gunfire. We both just stood on the dock, our warriors surrounding us, shaking our heads. I shrugged, “Oh well. I guess we really can’t argue with that. These babies are getting hungry anyway.” Queen Judia asked
As I played with Hugo, Aidinth took out his phone and started taking video of the ball game that we were playing. We had stopped playing fetch, and started playing a gamesimilar tovolleyball, except wedidn’thave a net. The onlyobjectivewas to keep the ball from touching the ground. I was laughing hard as I watched Hugo’s mouth barelymake contact withthe ball, then he would snap his jaw shut to make the ball pop up. I would get under the ball and slap it back to him. We played for two hours before he finally got tired and went to rest. I walked back to the chair next to Aidinth and chuckled as I sat down. Aidinth asked, “You looked like you were having so much fun. We need to get you a pet. I knowy
Sid got off my foot and slithered to the attached restroom to shift and put some clothes on. He came out of the restroom chuckling, “I’m used to Luna Abby and Ashina knowing who I am, I just can’t believe you know me so well, already, Princess Chloe.” I laughed, “I have heard the stories all my life, Sid. I still love you, though.” I stood and hugged him tightly. He smiled, “I love you too, sweetie. So, you are doing another event in our neck of the woods now?” I nodded, “Sure am. I’m looking forward to seeing if we can be of any help.” King Mateo heard this as he was walking by and leaned in to whisper, “Even a small improvement is an improvement, and we will appreciate it a lot.” Sid nodded, “Amen!” I smiled, “You guys are giving us too much credit, but I will take it.” After dinner, we all sat in the sitting room and talked until I started yawning. Aidinth chuckled as he stood, “Looks like my princess is ready to get some sleep.” King Mateo laughed, “It sure does lo
As I was floating away, I kept staring at everyone else as they walked to the limo. It was almost as if they were in some kind of trance. Kina told me, “Aidinth’s dragon is trying to tell him, but it’s like he can’t hear him. I had no idea where I was going, but I yelled, “Queen Winnie! I need you here!” There was no reply. Apparently, no one can hear me. Saige cried, “I am trying to reach Queen Winnie too. I’m getting nothing. All we can do is hope the spell on Aidinth stops when he gets out of range.” I finally decided to just stop struggling and figure out where I’m going. It wasn’t long before Saige got excited, “I was able to reach your brothers! They are getting in touch with Queen Winnie and will meet Aidinth and everyone else at King Mateo’s castle.” I smiled, “You’re amazing Saige.” She smiled, “I know.” Suddenly, I dropped to the floor in a totally dark room. I have no clue where I am. I started feeling like I was being pushed down, and I tried to step out
Aidinth POV This is so weird. I can feel myself walking toward the car after the meeting, but I feel like I'm forgetting something. I have no idea what it is, but it's not with me. I feel like I'm walking in a fog, and I can't speak a word, much less a full sentence. Apparently, King Mateo and Queen Judia are feeling the same way. As soon as we got back to the castle, Ryne and Rune Bergeron were waiting for us with Queen Winnie. As soon as I saw them, I felt like something was wrong. I saw Queen Winnie trying to cast a spell, but she was getting really aggravated. I approached her, and suddenly felt severe pain in my face. I was about to ask her why she was doing that to me, when suddenly the fog lifted, and I was instantly in full-blown panic. I asked Q
Chloe POV As I’m laying in the dark, my head is pounding so hard, I can’t open my eyes. I just continue to lay here, pretending to be unconscious. Just to see if I can hear any other names besides my captor’s. When Rubeus walks back in the room, he is followed by another voice, “I told you to keep your grubby hands off her. She is mine. You have ruined her face!” Rubeus replies, “What did you want me to do, Richard? She wasn’t giving me what I wanted.” I hear the other guy ask, “And what were you wanting from her?” Suddenly I hear someone gasping for air, “I wanted to hear my future, but she wouldn’t tell me. She’s an oracle.” “This changes everything,” I hear Richard’s voice in deep thought, “Now I know she will not be going back to her friends. S
What a ride we have had in these last ten years. Aidinth and I are still blissfully happy with each other, and our kids are amazing. We are still being called to areas around the world to host anti-poaching campaigns. My favorites have been to China, to protect the pandas, and to Africa to protect the wild cats. I fell in love with the wild versions of these animals. The werebears and werecats have been trying to protect themselves as well as the full blood version with a fierceness that I have not seen anywhere else. Mainly because they were getting desperate. Aidinth and I went there and ended up calling Luna Abby in for reinforcements. The poachers for these animals are willing to kill and die for the money they expect to receive for the parts they keep of these animals. It’s crazy and stupid. Money should never be the driving force behind what we do. These poachers do not get it though. We had a lot of poachers locked up in those areas. They won’t be getting out any time soon ei
Six weeks later, we are at home, and I am downright miserable. I am waddling everywhere I go, and Aidinth, somehow, still thinks I'm cute. Today, we have company. Both of my brothers came up to visit and brought Sergio and his wife with them. We have been having a blast. Luna Abby came up yesterday with Alpha Damien and told us that the anti-poaching event in Alaska went great. So far, they have locked up one hundred eighty poachers. They think some may have chosen to get out of poaching altogether. We were all absolutely thrilled at that news. Today, Adrien and Julien came over to meet Sergio, Zaiden, and Allen. They all went on a walk around the woods, and we visited while Luna Abby and I cooked dinner. In the middle of cooking dinner, I felt a warm liquid rush down my legs. I whispered to Luna Abby, "I think my water just broke." She looked at my feet and said, I think so too. She smiled, "Let's get the doctor. Okay?" I nodded and she grabbed my phone. I logged in and she
Saturday morning, I woke up and jumped out of bed. I am so excited about this Pow Wow. I love them so much! Aidinth has never been to one, so he has no idea what to expect. I am super excited, so as soon as I’m done in the shower, I get dressed and walk downstairs. I decide that I want to make Indian frybread, after I finish making breakfast, to set the mood for the Pow Wow. As Aidinth and I are eating breakfast, Luna Abby calls to tell me they are in the building and there must be five thousand people there. I was floored. She said that King Uther made it, along with a few of his warriors, and Gryphon plans on showing up with a unicorn and Pegasus. I chuckled, “Be on the lookout for Sid. You know how he likes to make an entrance.” Luna Abby laughed, “Oh yes he does.” We finished talking about the arrangements, and the plan for the presentation, then we ended the call because she had people approaching her to introduce themselves. I smiled, knowing the event is in good hands
As we sat on the couch eating snacks and laughing at movies, I couldn’t help but wonder what is happening with Luna Abby. I’m sure she is still flying or driving, but it’s eating at me. Aidinth pauses the movie and smiles at me, “You can’t get out of Princess mode, can you?” I shrug my shoulders, “I’m just wondering where they are. That’s all. I know Luna Abby will keep me informed. She’s amazing at that. It just bugs me.” He pulled me close to him, “Do you need to go bake something?” I laughed, “You know me so well. I may need to do that. Let’s finish watching this movie, then I will think about it.” That is when my phone rang. I answered on the first ring without even looking to see who is calling, “Hello?” To my relief, it was Luna Abby, “Hey Princess Chloe, I have Alpha Damien, Gideon Begay, his mate Willow Begay, his brother and second in command, Denali Begay, and his mate, Isla Begay.” I put the phone on speaker and said, “Hello everyone, I am Princess Chloe Bergeron
Aidinth and I sat on the couch, napping, laughing, and watching TV for the rest of the day. Once in a while, I would step outside to check on the wolves. It is so good to see their pups thriving. It feels good to know that I had something to do with that. The white pup has learned to camouflage himself on his own now. The only time he doesn’t is when he is going in our garage for the night. He knows that he is safe in there. I woke up this morning seeing much more sunlight than I am used to seeing. I looked around and realized I’m still on the couch! Did Aidinth leave me down here? I started to get up and found that an arm had a vice-like grip on me. I’m sure it’s just to keep me from falling off, but I really need to pee. I tapped his arm, and he instinctively loosened his hold, without waking up. I walked upstairs to our room, and did my business, then took my shower. I dried myself off and walked to the closet. I put on a pair of maternity leggings and a huge t shirt, bec
Wow. The last three months have been a whirlwind. It has been three months since the event in Louisiana, and it was a major success. The local humans have joined the game wardens in keeping an eye out for poachers. Sergio has discovered that it’s mostly people who come in from out of state that are poaching. The locals who were poaching got caught very quickly after the event. Their own family or friends turned them in. It was nuts for them for a little while, but things have settled down a lot for them. Right now, I’m sitting with Aidinth at the doctor’s office, waiting for my doctor to come in the room. As she enters, she smiles, “So, would you like to find out what you’re having today?” I smiled, “I would love to know, so we can prepare.” She brought the ultrasound machine in, but it didn’t look like the same one she usually uses. I asked, “What is different about that machine?” She explained, “This is a high-definition ultrasound. If we can get them in the right position
When we got to the airport, Aidinth watched the guys unload the car with wide eyes, “Was there anything left in the store?” I laughed, “I couldn’t help it! They had all my favorite clothes in every size that I’m going to need.” He laughed as he wrapped his arms around me, “It’s fine, my love. I know you need them.” Then he put his hands on my belly, “They did seem to triple in size overnight.” I nodded, “I know.” We got on the plane, and I sat down. I took a deep breath and suddenly felt a little flutter in my stomach. I put my hand on it, and it happened again. This time, I could feel it from the outside too. I must have had a weird look on my face, because Aidinth asked, “Are you okay?” I smiled, “More than okay.” I motioned for him to sit down, and he did. I took his hand and put it over the spot where the baby was moving. His eyes glistened with unshed tears, “That is the coolest thing ever. That’s my child in there.” I nodded and he kissed me tenderly, then he said, “Things are
As we made it to town, I started noticing kids just walking around town. I asked Queen Judia, "What's going on with the kids? Why are they just walking around?" She shrugged her shoulders, "I really don't think they have much to do. They are in town, because it's more boring at home, and there is no school today." I asked, "Do you have a fairly large area that I can use to give them something to do?" She said, "We have a park, but it's not that big. It's mainly for the little ones. But it is big enough to add on to it." I smiled, "Why don't we go over there first. Seeing these kids like this is really bugging me." Queen Judia laughed, "Let's go." When we got to the park, I agreed that this was mainly for little kids. I smiled, "Let's give the bigger kids something to do." I suggested, "First, how about an obstacle course?" The kids gathered around us, and I greeted them all, "Hey guys! I'm about to improve your park, so there is something for you all to do. First, how
When we got back to King Mateo’s castle, we ate a late dinner, and sat outside in lounge chairs by the water and just enjoyed each other’s company. We had been talking and laughing until I heard a hiss, and a ball was thrown into my lap. I laughed as King Mateo shook his head, “Chloe, you have spoiled him beyond belief.” I laughed at Hugo, “Youaren’tspoiled, are you, Hugo? You just love me.” Hugo nodded his head and made a hissing sound that sounded like a laugh. Everyone laughed at what he did. Queen Judia laughed, “Chloe, you make him do things that I have never seen him do.” I laughed, “That’snothing. Watch this.” Then I looked at Hugo, “Can I hug you, Hugo?” He nodded his head and I levitated him to my eye level. I was petting his face, and said, “I need a hug. Is that okay?” He nodded and I wrapped my arms around him and hugged him. Aidinth chuckled, “I never thought I would be jealous of an alligator.” I put Hugo down and tossed the ball f
