2. Alpha, Warden, Healer

“Who could see my aura?” I question after a moment, remembering Eya mentioning it when I was waking up.

“Just Embry, Eya, Gideon, Benjamin, and I because we’re Lycan. It looked like Orin could see it too, maybe part of being King.” Osric guesses,  resting his head against Embry’s.

“It felt so different when I didn’t fight it, I just let Ruby guide me,” I mention, looking down at my stomach with my hand moving to my belly where the babies are moving.

“The first few times you give in can be overwhelming and terrifying. Between the feeling of  endless power raging beneath the surface, growing and the calm you feel as you watch yourself analyzing the room while remaining in place. I’ve never displayed power quite like yours, but we’re similar enough, I understand what you mean when you talk about Ruby,” Osric explains,  as he brushes his thumb across my cheek and jaw, then kisses my temple making me blush realizing how much he really understands.

“Every Lycan experiences similar when their abilities begin to manifest, for you and Osric it’s far more intense. Enough so you actually have a voice or person that is your power and subconscious, Ruby, in your mind guiding you,” Embry adds whilst rubbing over where one of the babies moves.

“Liliana and Eya are healers, Osric and I are complete monsters, what about you?” I question, looking over at Embry with a furrowed brow as he blushes and Osric chuckles.

“You’re not monsters, you two are true Lycan alphas making you extraordinarily powerful. I’m immune to you and Osric, I’m stronger and heal faster than other Lycans.”

“He’s a warden like Gideon, they can also resist a vampire’s compulsion. They’re peace keepers, protecting our people from all threats even from us if they need, they’re born to keep us in check.” Osric keeps Embry from a long-winded explanation, making me smile a little.

“Sounds like he was made for us.” I can’t help my adoring smile as I look down feeling both Embry and Osric’s hands on my belly.

“We were both made for you,” Embry chuckles while kissing my forehead, resting his head against Osric’s shoulder.

“How long was I out?” I ask, after resting for a little while I begin to feel uncomfortable like I need a shower or bath.

“Two days, you burned a lot of energy. Eya said you protected our pups.” Osric softly speaks, watching as Embry gets up and walk into the bathroom.

“No wonder I feel so gross and sore.” I sigh, sitting up and slowly stretching my aching muscles.

“Go slow, you’ll be exhausted for quite a while.” Osric rubs my back gently supporting me as I feel weak.

“Thank you,” I whisper, looking back at Osric holding his hand on my stomach.

“I trust you, Raven. Embry and I are so proud of you and could feel how in control you were, you were magnificent in there.” Osric chuckles gently sitting up he kisses my shoulder.

“Come on, lets join Embry in the shower.”  He suggests, pressing his head against mine before getting up, making me nod.

“A shower sounds amazing, maybe it’ll help me wake up,” I agree, wrapping my arms around Osric’s shoulders making him get up with me in his arms.

“Good then you’ll feel up to eating and maybe up for a walk,” Osric suggests, walking, with me in his arms, into the bathroom where Embry steps into a steaming hot shower.

“Fresh air and food sound amazing.” I agree, standing up letting Osric undress me.

“They do, we haven’t left your side since bringing you home,” Osric agrees, while pulling his pants off he watches me as I walk through the open shower door. The feeling of the hot water raining down on me is pure bliss.

“How are our pups?” Embry questions, as he reaches for and grabs the soap, then gently  lifts my arm and starts washing me.

“Everything feels really good with them, they’re moving a lot and their movements are strong. They were protected somehow.” I answer Embry’s question, looking up at Osric entering the shower, as Embry continues to lather up my arm moving to my shoulders.

“Every Lycan’s abilities are different, Liliana can heal things, Eya can’t, just like you can do things Osric can’t,” Embry explains, turning me around lathering my belly being very gentle and affectionate.

“All I know is it’s the first time I completely trusted Ruby, and I stayed in control. I couldn’t risk you two dying fighting to keep Orin from taking me, and I couldn’t trust the other Alphas not to turn like Lucas,” I semi smile, closing my eyes enjoying the feeling of Embry’s hands massaging my body as he takes care of me.

“You were brilliant.” Embry moves, letting Osric start to wash my hair. I nearly moan feeling both of their hands on me, losing myself to the tingling sensation and the comfort it brings.

“What are we going to name our pups we need a girl and a boy name?” I question them, while taking a deep breath, letting Osric and Embry’s warm scents surround and relax me.

“Osric actually came up with an idea for our girl that I really like,” Embry answers. Rinsing himself off he reaches out, pulling me to him, letting me relax against his firm chest.

“Roan,” Osric speaks, as he continues massaging my scalp, making me smile enjoying the sensation.

“Roan Liliana Bloodwrath,” Embry adds, making me blush, feeling butterflies in my stomach at them assuming I will want to name her after my sister somehow.

“I like the way it sounds, it’s beautiful. Does it mean anything special?” I question with a slight giggle, feeling Osric’s hand over my eyes pulling me back to rinse my hair.

“It has several meanings depending on culture, I know it means raven and red haired.” Osric answers, making me pull his hand down and turn in his arms.

“You want to name our daughter after me?” I question, feeling completely shocked.I do like the name, but never imagined they would want to name her after me.

I couldn’t help but think if she had red hair, I would have no choice considering the name would be a perfect fit.

“Who better to name her after than the person who has fought the hardest for her future?” Embry chuckles gently, kissing my shoulder when Osric presses his lips to mine.

“I like it,” I answer, relaxing between Osric and Embry.

“I think you’ve come up with our daughter’s name… now we need to come up with a name for our son.” I smile up at my mates, loving the tingling that was rushing over everywhere they touch.

“Gunnar is a good name.” Embry mentions, while rubbing my belly, feeling the twins’ movements. “I like Gunnar it’s a good strong name,” I admit, looking up at Osric who nods his head with a gentle smile.

“Gunnar Rose Bloodwrath.” I giggle, looking down at my belly trying to imagine our babies.

“I think we’ve figured out their names.” Osric chuckles gently as Embry nods in approval.

Osric and Embry pamper me in the shower before I get dressed into a black halter top dress that is knee length.
