Zions' P.O.V. After we got to our suite, we got Odett tucked into her bed and made our way into our room. She walked over to the window as I closed the door, then walked over to her wrapping my arms around her waist and asking if I should start the shower. But I didn't expect her reaction. When she bit into my collarbone, I knew I would end up losing control. She knew exactly what she was doing when she looked up at me through her lashes with that smile as she bit her lower lip. At first, I was worried that she would be scared if lost control and got too rough or dominant, but she seemed to be more than happy to play with my more animalistic side and play the submissive role as she kept trying to pull it out of me. When I finally let go, she was more than excited, and it was amazing to be able to do what I'd been craving since I laid my eyes on her. I can't believe I thought she was so fragile. After we finished I told her I would get the bath rea
Zions' P.O.V. After leaving Rain, Lady Ezmerelda, and Jessica in our room to prepare for the crowning ceremony, Orian and I walked down to the Throne Room, where the servants were running around the room, setting up all the decorations. As we walk toward the door, Orian stops to look at me. "Do you think it's really just a stomach bug?" He asks me. "I'm not sure, but the doctor didn't seem too worried about it," I answer him as we begin walking again. We met Mathew after walking out of the Throne Room into the main hall. "What's this I hear about a movie night?" He asks with a cocked eyebrow. "Weren't you in the office when we discussed it?" Orian asks. I shake my head. "No, he slipped out after I stripped Misty of her title and made her rogue," I say. "Did you really not notice?" "Nope, to be honest, I was distracted by my mate and the fact that we need to find a new Alpha for that pathetic pack that my mate came from." Orian ans
Rains' P.O.V. I hear Jess gasp loudly, and I don't need to open my eyes to know that she's feeling the warmth of my mothers' magic covering her for the first time. When I feel that familiar warmth covering my body, I smile at the sensation. The front door opens, and I hear Zion call out, asking if I'm ready. I tell him we'll be out in a few minutes, and my mom says she's finished, and we can open our eyes. When we open our eyes, we both smile. My mom and Odett are standing between us in matching silver and black dresses, a perfect mix between Jess's silver dress and my black dress. "Absolutely stunning," I say as I look at the for of us in the mirrors. Jess nods in agreement as she smiles. I look at the clock in the corner of the room before turning to face the ladies. "Are we all ready?" "I think so," Jess says with a laugh as she twirls around in the mirror, clearly happy with her dress, making me giggle. We open the door and wal
Zions' P.O.V. As we walk through the crowd in the throne room, I pick up on Rain's nervousness. I squeeze her hand gently to reassure her that everything will be fine. "There are so many people in the Throne Room!" She links me. "It's okay, my love. Unfortunately, it's tradition to have leaders and Alphas from all over attend the Crowning Ceremony of a new royal. Try to keep your eyes forward and your chin up. And remember, we are all by your side, No matter what!" I link back, and she takes a deep, steadying breath. When we reach the bottom of the stairs, I put my hand on the small of her back to help support her, and we start making our way up. After making it to the top of the stairs, She finally notices the second and slightly smaller throne, placed next to mine. "Do you like it?" I whisper in her ear. "It's perfect," She answers in complete disbelief. She smiles up at me, and I give her a cocky smile, proud of myself for making the
Rains' P.O.V. After I open the door to let the doctor into our suite, Zion leads us to his office, where he walks us around to his chair. He sits down and pulls me onto his lap as the doctor takes a seat in the chair across the desk from us. He congratulates me, making me realize I'm still wearing my crown. "Am I supposed to wear this all the time?" I ask Zion, making him laugh. "Only for formal events, my love," He says as he removes the crown from my head. "Oh, thank the Goddess. It's beautiful but so heavy." I say with a giggle. He smiles at me before turning to face the doctor. "So, Doctor, what seems to be the problem with my mate?" He asks Doctor Jameson. I squeeze Zions' hand as I place my other hand on my stomach, feeling nauseous again. The doctor looks tense but isn't giving anything away. I guess his calmness helps him be such a good doctor, but it's not helping me relax at the moment. "Well, after checking and rechecking
Zions' P.O.V. After Rain announced our pregnancy to our crew by saying it was morning sickness, the ladies got it automatically, while the guys were confused. Ryker thought their confusion was hysterical. I plainly explained that we were pregnant to the guys, and they finally got it. Unfortunately, we hadn't thought about how Odett would feel about it. "What's wrong, sweetie?" I ask her as I pick her up, and we sit on the couch. "Does this mean you'll send me back to the orphanage now that y'all have your own baby?" She says, almost whispering. I feel like an absolute failure for not thinking about how she would feel and quickly think of what to say to make her understand that she's ours. "No! You are our child. The new pup won't change that you are part of our family. We're just giving you a sibling." I try to explain. "You were the one who made me a mother and Zion, a father, regardless of whether you are our biological child or n
Rains' P.O.V. After the Doctor explains that we're expecting twins, he points out the two beans on the screen. He tells us he can give us pictures of the sonogram and a CD containing a video of the sonogram with the audio of the heartbeats. I chose to get both, thinking it would be a cute idea to announce our pregnancy by putting it on the projector we will use to play Shrek for our movie night. Doctor Jameson says he will be back with both in a minute before walking out the door, leaving Zion and me in the room alone. He helps me sit up on the edge of the hospital bed, and I smile at him. "I think we should make the announcement tonight," I say, making him smile. "How would you like to do it?" He asks. "I was thinking we use the projector. We can play the CD before the movie." I say. "Maybe we should play it after the movie so we don't have people interrupting us during the movie." He tells me."I agree. That sounds like a good id
Zions' P.O.V. After our announcement, people surrounded us, offering their congratulations and expressing their happiness for us. In the middle of thanking everyone, I look over, noticing Rain has become quiet and looks worried. I smile and finish thanking everyone on her behalf until everyone starts to dissipate. "Are you okay, my love?" I ask Rain. "Yes, Dosha has been asleep since the buffet, and I'm worried about her. She says she was tired." She answers, and I begin to worry. "Do we need to call the Doctor?" I ask. "I'm not in any pain, so I think it'll be okay to wait until the morning to call him," She says, and I nod in understanding. "In that case, I think it's time for bed," I say, pointing at Jessica, now holding a sleeping Odett in her arms. "I guess all the excitement has finally gotten to her." "I know how she feels." She says. I smile, lifting her in my arms, making her giggle, and carry her to our suite as she
