Justin’s POVSomehow, the months that passed over the course of Helen’s pregnancy seemed to fly by. I spent a good deal of that time getting myself accustomed to the idea that one of the twins was actually going to be the Huntsman’s child.I’d always thought that issues of illegitimate birth were simple. Either the woman cheated, or she didn’t. That was simple. And as the man, you were either willing to raise someone else’s bastard, or you weren’t. It was simple. If you weren’t, you got it divorced. Simple.Yet I found myself in a situation that was anything but simple.Helen had cheated, but not by her own choice. She had been raped, which I suppose isn’t really the same thing as cheating. Especially when the cheating happens when the woman in question is under a spell, I can hardly hold her accountable for that manipulation.Punishing Helen for the fact that a child was conceived while she was raped was anything but fair. Then taking that a step further, she had my child as well. An
Justin’s POVI planned for the future when designing the green belt, hoping someday, these trails might be connected to playgrounds. And there was room at the backside of the green belt, in property that had once been held by my father and was now in my name, to build an additional school.I wanted all of the members of the True Mates pack, regardless of their species, to understand that this community was for them. I wanted them to want to live here. I wanted it to be a good place for them to have pups or babies or whatever the Pixies called their offspring, where we could all live in peace.Not to mention the fact that the Community Center for the multi-colored wolves was drawing in additional members by the week, every time I turned around, it seemed like they had new wolves coming in to join.I had been trying to think of a way to repair the damage that had been done by my family by slandering those wolves. And that was the problem that I was pondering today as I took off for my w
Justin’s POVTaking another deep breath, I tried to relax my white-knuckle grip on the steering wheel. “Is there anything I need to do?” I asked her.“Yes,” she replied calmly. “You need to drive and focus only on doing that correctly and calmly.”Her giggle accompanying this statement was followed by a wince and a huff of air.“What? What’s wrong?” I demanded.“Nothing’s wrong,” she soothed. “It’s just a contraction.”Contractions? The doctor had mentioned these would be a marker of how close to delivery Helen was. We had to time them so we knew where in labor Helen was. Now, how far apart were they before we needed to worry? What if she delivered in the car?“How far apart are they?” I insisted. “You were timing them like Dr. Peterson suggested, right? How much time do we have?” All this came out in a rush.This time Helen made a face at me. “I don’t know how much time we have, but we have enough time that you don’t need to be like this. You’re stressing me out, and I have enough wo
Justin’s POVNever in my life had a day passed so excruciatingly slowly. Helen and I watch TV. We played card games. We discussed nothing at length. We spoke to the anesthesiologist. We talked to the doctor. We worked with the witch practitioner.In between all these visits, Helen took little cat naps. And the hours ticked by, feeling like a day had passed for each one. It was at Dr. Peterson’s lunchtime visit that the first signs of something wrong began to materialize. Dr. Peterson looked at the readouts on the machines attached to Helen, a frown pulling her brows together.“What is it?” I demanded.She gave her head a shake. “Nothing too serious, yet. But it looks like Baby B isn’t thriving with the contractions. The baby’s under some stress. So we’re going to keep an eye on it. If this gets any worse, we’ll go in for a C-section.”She did a quick physical exam of Helen and gave Helen’s hand a pat. “Right now, it’s nothing to be alarmed about, just a little bit of concern. I’ll be
Randy’s POVEmily smiled at me. “I have an hour. What would you like to do?”“Let’s make this as much of a fantasy as possible,” I said.“Well, everything went smoothly today, so I could be in the mood to have fun,” she agreed. “What would you like to do?”“Why don’t you take off everything except the lab coat?”“Oh, you have some playing doctor fantasy, is that it? You’d like to live out your naughty fantasies?”I gave her a guilty shrug. “I can’t say the thought hasn’t crossed my mind.”She turned around and started adjusting her outfit, slipping her pants down and messing with her blouse. I hurried to undo my own pants, letting them fall to the floor and pulling my shirt off.When Emily turned back toward me, she wore nothing on the bottom, and on the top, her lab coat and blouse were open to expose her lacy bra.“Oh, fuck, that’s sexy,” I groaned.My cock stiffened. The dirty doctor fantasy had sounded good inside my head, but seeing it in front of my face was hot in a way that I
Randy’s POVEmily’s grin had turned naughty, despite still fastening her clothing back on. “We’ll continue. Don’t worry. It’s just that we’ve been in my office for a while now, and we’ve been making indiscreet noises. If we get a decent amount of clothing back on, then it won’t be such a big deal if somebody comes to check on me.”Once her clothing had been returned to a respectable state, she stepped back toward me, leaning in against my chest and kissing me deeply. She slid her hand inside my pants again, running her fingertips around the rim of my head, and my erection pulsed back to life.I deepen the kiss, searching her tongue out with mine, at the same time slipping my hand inside her pants. My fingers pressed along the insides of her folds, wrapping themselves on either side of her sensitive nub, rubbing the delicate spot.She moaned into my mouth, which excited me further. It didn’t take more than a few moments for us to find the rhythm that we’d been in before she’d ordered u
Helens POVI thought, when I fell in love with Justin, that I knew what true love really felt like. That was until I met my babies. The love in my heart for my twins surpassed anything I’d ever felt before.I wanted to protect them, and at the same time, I wanted to take them out and show them to everyone I met. I wanted to have them seen, for the world to know that I had created perfection.And they were perfect. From their tiny little lips to their little button noses, they were utterly adorable. They each had ten teeny fingers and ten petite toes. Their downy heads of hair were so soft that I could help but smooth my hands across them, reassuring them that their mother loved them.Everything about them was indescribably perfect.We knew from the moment that they were born that my daughter was the lycan and my son was the child of the Huntsman. If Justin was disappointed in not having a son of his own, he didn’t say anything. And I wasn’t worried about having a male lycan pup just y
Helen’s POVWhen I got to the door, sure enough, Randy stood outside. I opened the door, and I held her finger to my lips.“The babies are napping?” he whispered.I nodded. “Like angels.”“Sweet,” he said, stepping inside. “Now, what did you need to see me for that was so urgent?”“I need your help with something,” I explained. “I don’t know if you’ve noticed, but Justin hasn’t been as affectionate with me as he was before all of this went down. He’s done a pretty good job of coping with the fact that one of the twins isn’t his, worse, that he’s a part demon. But it’s kind of left a quiet wedge between us, and I wanna get over that.”Randy nodded. “I did notice. He hasn’t said anything to me. Though, I know he’s trying.”“I realize he’s trying,” I agreed, “but that doesn’t mean that he needs to try all on his own. So . . . I have an idea.”A wide grin spread across my face just thinking about it. “Before we found out that one of the twins belonged to the Huntsman, Justin was planning
