I stared at the doctor for several minutes, my mind unable to comprehend what he just said.... twins. We were having twins. Two babies. Together at the same time.
Alexander looked as shocked as I was, his mouth partially open as he stared at the two aliens on the screen, as though waiting for one of them to disappear.
I just couldn't believe it, I didn't even know if twins ran in my side of the family, I had no idea about anything to do with my family history apart from being a slave. I know my mother only had me before she died though, she didn't want any more children after me because of the life they will have.
"twins." I repeat in a far away voice.
"Yes." The doctor smiled. "We are going to have the first set of twins in the packs history. Isn't that exciting?"
"No one else has had twins in this pack?" I ask, confused.
I thought that twins were qu
I spent the rest of the day in the kitchen, cooking for my mates, I was excited for them to try the four course meal I was preparing. I couldn't wait to tell the news either, we were having twins, could you believe it?! I couldn't, I never expected this to happen, especially when I had only ever had sex twice. Does this actually happen to people so quickly?I was utterly terrified, but at the same time i couldn't be happier than I was right now, I couldn't believe how lucky I was.i stirred the pot of beef stew whilst frying the chicken, the potatoes and vegetables already in the oven, I wanted them to like it, I wanted them to see that I could be a good wife to them all.I had baked three cakes, each one a different flavour, I have done vanilla, strawberry and blueberry. I just prayed that they would enjoy it, that it would be to their standards.I haven't cooked for them before so this
"What would you like to do now?" Zane asked me, leaning back in his chair as he finished his last bit of cake."I'm not sure." I smiled, taking a sip of my coffee. "How's melding the packs coming along?""we have almost finished, just building the last few houses that are needed here." Dean contributed, "we should be done in a few days, a week maybe.""that was fast." My smile grew as I looked between them. "I'm glad we can all be together from now on.""we don't like being away from you either love." Alexander chuckled, pulling me into his lap."You are all sure you don't need my help with anything?" I ask, looking around at each of them."Eve is setting up a day care of you want to help with that, might give you a chance to bond with some of the females." Alexander whispered in my ear, his breath on my neck distracting. "I'm sure they would all love to
Zane and I were laid against each other on the sofa, popcorn safely tucked in his lap as we watched three Disney movies back to back, and I'll admit that I loved everyone of them. I loved that the stories always had happy endings, it was nice, it gave me hope that maybe I could have a happy ending as well."thank you for watching these with me." I tell Zane, gently placing a kiss on his cheek.he turned towards me and smiled widely, "anything for you Annalise, you are my happy ending."I blush slickly as I tuck myself closer to him, enjoying the warmth that he offers, I love all of my mates, but Zane was the laid back one, he was easy to be around and always managed to make it fun.I wanted to tell him that I appreciate everything that he does, that I love him more than I could ever hope to say, but just as I open my mouth alexander rushes in, looking flustered and worried.
I walked into the room with my power present, I wasn't going to look weak in front of my old master, I wanted him to know that I had changed, I wasn't the same weak she-wolf that he remembered. I was so much more now.I took a seat in the chair directly across from him, crossing my legs as I learnt back, showing him that I wasn't afraid. I wouldn't allow him to intimidate me any longer, I was a free wolf and if he thought for one moment he could walk in here and take me back; he is dead wrong.I'll be going nowhere with Balthazar, but depending on what he has to say, I'll do my best to make sure that he doesn't leave here alive.if it comes down to it, I'll attempt to kill him. I won't be a slave again, I would rather die than live that life again.but right now I had my children to think of, I had to be careful, I couldn't risk my unborn Cubs to be hurt. I would do whatever it
I walk back down to the ground floor and into the kitchen, Zane waiting for me there as he cooks us something to eat. I look over into the pan to see some kind of stew and smile, my mates know how to look after me, they always know how to take care of what I need."this smells great." I say, smelling the stew in the air."I'm glad you think so, it'll be ready soon." He pauses, turning to face me. "How did it go with Balthazar? I wasn't allowed to intervene."My smile widens and I can't help but feel some pride in myself. "I don't think we have to worry about him for now, I told him that I would go nowhere with him and showed him some of my power, he didn't like it at all. But I don't think he's much of a threat."Nyx huffed within me, "he'll never be a problem again, we can totally bring down that warlock."Zane nods, but I can see worry coating his face. "did you tell him about th
here with my mouth wide open, awestruck by what Eve had done, my heart swelling with love for her. The room was pained in a light blue, white clouds also painted and a sun on one wall. The carpet was a dark shade of blue, white rugs lining where the two cribs were side by side.toys, clothes and nappies were neatly put away into drawers and their was two changing stations ready for when the babies arrived. I couldn't believe that she had done all of this in the space of two days.i walked towards a chest of drawers, running my hands over the stuffed animals and soft toys, my mind going to what my children would be like. How they would act and what personalities they would have, who would my children become?What movies would they enjoy?what would their favourite colours be?I couldn't help but wonder if they would be similar or completely different, would they share a bond w
I heard shouts from outside, causing me to stand up and walk towards the window, my chest heaving heavily, I hadn't seen most of the pack, or the other betas yet, I wasn't even officially Luna, but that didn't mean I didn't care about the people. I wanted them all to be safe and happy, just as I wanted my mates to be happy.i opened the curtain and leaned against the windowsill, trying to get a better view of outside, my heart thudding in my chest at what I saw. Rogues we're making their way into the territory, hundreds of them and I could smell them from here; the rotten flesh and stink of blood.I had to do something! They were coming from the west side, and if they continued most people would be caught by surprise. We'd lose loads of the pack that way, especially with how many rogues were out there."Nyx what should we do? We aren't linked to the pack yet, we can't warn people." I asked in a panic, childre
The rogues I crushed died quickly and in agony, each one of them begging for mercy, a mercy that I wouldn't grant. They wouldn't have shown me or anyone else mercy if they were given the chance, so I would not show it to them. I felt a wave of dizziness wash over me, but I ignored it as more rogues rushed to my position, knowing that they would have to take me out first if they had any hope of taking over the pack and destroying the people in it. but I wouldn't allow that to happen, I know what I can do and I know that I can beat them, they don't stand a chance against the power that the moon goddess gave to me. the pack warriors and my mates had arrived to join the battle, each one of them fighting for their lives against the unusually strong wolves. They had help to be that strong, I knew that for certain, I could almost smell the magic that was seeping from them. Empowering their movements. "B
Flashback;The guard to my left knocked, but the one to my right spoke, his tone raspy and stern. “Sire, thirteen is here to see you.”That’s me, thirteen. The guards didn’t know our names, we were numbers, creatures that they needn’t worry themselves with. The guards were human, all of them. But one of masters spells surrounded them, and no wolf within these lands could question that, no one could hurt them.I heard a cup slam against a wooden table, forcing myself not to wince when I heard the anger in Balthazar’s voice. “Send her in.” He ordered.Oh fuck. I had done something to piss him off, but what? For three whole weeks I had kept my head down, not spoken to anyone but Margaret and I had done everything asked of me. I searched my mind, looking for a mistake so I could prepare myself, though nothing came to mind. I took a shallow breath, and walked into to the room when the guard opened t
I stood on the balcony window of our home, watching as my nine children play and have fun together, the twins watching over the younger ones and making sure that they are ok and safe. Several years later; I had the twins before I reallly knew who I was and what I was going to do with my life. but now I had a good idea of what my life should be and those I will be spending it with. it took a long time to realise what I did was the right thing, I felt a lot of guilt after killing the warlock , but I know that it was the best way to move forward and it had to be done. At the time their was no other choice because he wasn't willing to compromise, he wanted my loved ones dead and me as a slave, their was no changing his mind. No matter if we had tired or not. killing him was the only option, and I'm glad most days that I went through with it, it changed everything and made life better for a lot of wolves. Each one eventually coming to the pack and joining our growing family. Our pack
The journey home was fast, but wished it was quicker, I couldn't wait to hold my children in my arms and tell them how much I loved them. I could now give them the life that I wanted to, they would grow up and be happy ajd content with all they have. for once, I was excited to see what the future may hold for me, and o coukdnt wait to see what would happen in my life next. Of course more children will be a must, but other than that I had no idea. I still had so much to learn and do. but now I had the freedom to do it all I didn't know where to start. The wolves that had come into battle with me and my mates bellowed and shouted about how strong I was and how blessed I must be to be able to defeat a warlock such as Balthazar. I had to agree with them, the moon goddess had definitely blessed me, with mates and strength. I was the luckiest girl alive to have what I do, and even with everything that has happened to me in my life I wouldn't change anything. I wouldn't change it because
I screamed out and rushed forward with all the strength that I had, plummeting myself into enemy lines and away from my people. I had to get to Balthazar and end this once and for all.I staked three more vampires before I got to where he was stood, waiting for me in silent awe, he was impressed seeing my powers. But that was only because he wanted them for himself. He wanted nothing more than to use me for his own gain.but not anymore, I was free."You've come a long way, Annalise." He says slowly, a smile breaking across his face."and you are the same asshole you have always been." I growl, Nyx closer to the surface than she has ever been before.she was ready to fight, and was I.Balthazar laughed bitterly, though I could tell he was nervous. He never expected me to get this far. "You can end this now, surrender and all the others c
It took a while to get to Balthazar's land, and what we didn't expect were the amount of wolves present that were chained to wooden poles outside his mansion. Dean included.I wanted nothing more than to run up and free them all, but their were warlocks and vampires blocking my path. Each one of them ready for a fight.the wolves around me screamed and howled their battle cries and set off running into the enemy, biting and scratching. Those that remained in human form and only partially transformed held wooden stakes and spears to take down the vampires.I screamed my own battle cry and pulled away from my mates, jumping into the grey of battle and using my powers against those who dared to attack me.The metallic smells of blood filled my nose as I took down a vampire, staking him through the chest, howls and screams filling the air as the battle waged. The fading screams of the
I look around at all of the wolves present, some already transformed and ready to go. I know now that we have a chance to do this, that we can if we work as a team.I howl at the top of my lungs and then face everyone present once more, gaining all of their attentions at once."we have a real chance to change the world today..." I shout, Matthew coming to my side whilst my other mates continued to prepare weapons. "We are doing this for our future and for the future of all the children and babies of our kind." Growls and shouts break out, all of them agreeing. "Together we will fight through the vampires and kill every warlock in sight!"They begin to chant my name, but what they don't realise is that today I am not myself, today I am the decendent of the moon godddess herself, today I am the Red wolf and we are the ones that will change the world.every man and woman present will fight a
All the warriors and the alphas were stood just outside the pack house, Waiting for me to arrive and give the order, we had been preparing and training for two weeks and I just hoped that it would be enough to take out the warlock.we couldn't wait any longer, it was now or never and every moment we wasted here was another moment that Dean would be close to death. I couldn't lose any of my mates, I just couldn't. I don't know what I would do if anything happened to them.I wanted nothing more than for us all to be safe and happy, but for that to happen Balthazar needed to die, he would never let my kind go, he would never free our people.we had to take matters into our own hands, I just prayed that when the time came I would know exactly what to do and how to defeat him.But then again I couldn't hold out much hope of that, I mean, he could just as easily kill or render me useless. He has
I woke up slowly, my head throbbing slightly and the light too bright for my eyes. But that's when I heard it, the cries of my children from somewhere in the room. I opened my eyes and tried to sit up, my eyes scanning the room, searching for them.alexander had one of the twins and Drax had the other, gently shushing them as they cried. Both children had my red hair, their eyes a bright green; and they were beautiful."my babies." I sobbed, catching the attention of my mates."Would you like to hold him?" Alexander asked, walking towards me with my son in his arms."yes." I cried, unable to hold my tears of joy.Drax walked forward as I took my son from alex, showing me my little girl. It was perfect. I couldn't believe my eyes. My two beautiful and perfect children were right here."you did well love, they are healthy and strong." Al
I slept quite a lot the next few days while my mates sorted out the finer details for the attack, but I wasn't sure of everything. It all seemed rushed, but I guess we had no choice about that. We could either attack within the next few days or risk being attacked and killed or captured. Something I knew that we couldn't risk.I had my c-section today, and we would finally meet the twins, but something was missing, or should I say someone. I just wish that Dean didn't get captured when he did, I needed him by my side. He was my mate and his presence brought me comfort.I rolled out of bed and showered, it took longer than normal, but I needed to feel clean. It was strange being pregnant, you never quite feel like yourself, and when the babies kick it feels a little surreal.I know a woman's body is meant for this, but it's still so strange, I'm growing people inside of me, two healthy little babies are develo
