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
Rains' P.O.V. After my small emotional breakdown and Stephanie's arrival to get Odett for their busy day, we discovered my new hybrid ability to hear better than others when I heard Stephanie at our door before she knocked. Orian suggests that I start writing them down, and I have to admit that it's probably a good idea because it's starting to get slightly overwhelming with all the changes that have been happening in my life in such a short time. Stephanie and Odett walk into the living room, dressed and ready for their busy day. "Hey, sweetie. Are you excited for your day with Stephanie?" Zion asks her as he picks her up. "Yes, sir. Ms.Stephanie said we're going to the park." She says, full of excitement. "Make sure you stay with her and listen to everything she tells you, okay?" I say before we give her a kiss. I then turn to Stephanie. "Evan will be waiting downstairs for y'all." "I will, Mamma." She says after Zion p
Zions' P.O.V. As Rain and Jessica look around her new office, I link Ms.Blanch, asking her to get someone to bring their planning folders and any more papers they may need to her office. She says she will get one of the new assistants that Jessica and Rain hired to bring everything over for me. I close the link after thanking her and then turn my attention to my mate and her sister. "Ms.Blanch will have one of the new assistants bring the planning folders and everything needed to finalize the plans. They should be here soon." I tell her. "That's great. Thank you." She says with a smile, walking around her desk and sitting down in her new chair. "You look comfortable," I say with a laugh. "Well, what did you expect? You did an amazing job with everything." She replies with a giggle. "Thank you for the high praise, my Queen," I say. "We'll let y'all get settled in while Orian and I get some work done in my office. We'll come to get y'a
