The luna looked at her mate who wouldn't meet her eyes.Izan looked mad, guilty but mad as in raging mad. He grabbed Seline's throat choking the air out of her. "You really have the guts to bring a bastard child to me?" He snarled.Astra smiled at that. For some reason that she herself couldn't fathom, she believed him. She believed the child wasn't her mate's.So she proudly turned to Seline with her arms crossed. "Let her go, Izan," she spoke calmly and the Alpha turned to her mate to gauge her reaction. The female looked amused, almost pleased. But what was making her pleased?"Bastard child or not, she's still a pregnant wolf and you as a man and the Alpha shouldn't be manhandling any female wolf much more a pregnant one," she scolded gently and he let Seline go, still wary of what the woman was thinking."Yeah, let me go. At least your mate has common sense." Seline taunted."Which is why I'm the luna and you're not," Astra added and Mimi snickered hiding her face in Dre's chest.
"Caius!" The luna yelled at the top of her voice, calling for her seven-year-old demon child. When no answer came, she turned to his twin whose hands were behind her back, head downcast in apology. Astra sighed. "Caia, where is your brother?" "He's with Boysen and Dew." The girl's voice was low. "How many times in this week has he used you as a coverup?" Astra placed a hand on her hip. "He's sorry, mama. He won't do it again." "He can't do it again. Do you know why? This is the last one, there are no more windows to break. At this point, we'll keep repairing windows every day," Astra palmed her forehead in tiredness soliloquizing in frustration. Just then, a whiff of the aromatic woody and mushroomy smell of oakmoss infiltrated her nose, accompanied by two other scents, one of roasted coffee and the other was of warm sand mixed with a sweet blooming flower. She heard an audible gasp in front of her and saw her daughter's eyes widen. They were beside the pack house where the
By the time they arrived back at the pack, the luna had gone into heat, her children in her nest with her as she scented them. When Caius ran off to play seeing as his mother couldn't implement any rules on him in her present predicament, Caia stayed behind. Right now, the little girl was kneeling on the bed beside her mother as she dabbed a cold wet towel on her mother's sweaty forehead. At a very young age, the girl had become a spitting image of Astra even if their personalities didn't align. While she has Astra's wild and curly ginger hair, upturned eyes, and small nose, her character was that of her mother's sister, Alba. Alba was gentle and sweet to everyone whether they deserved it or not and Astra was not. She wouldn't think twice before putting someone in their place as her insults can be quite damaging to the soul while her fists damaged the body. While Alba tried to please people, Astra was far from it as she believed no matter what one does, someone will always complain.
If there was anything that one would describe as more than shocked, it was Astra's face right now. "What?" The Alpha nodded to her rhetorical question. "We met his mate at the meeting. You never told me it was Vincent, he's such a fucking racist. Thinks vampires are better than werewolves," Izan growled lowly as he went back to kneading her bottom. "Aren't all vampires racist? Also, you haven't explained how you met Benji.""Oh yeah right. We saw Vincent with another guy, turns out it was their Enforcer, Kota and they were just friends but pretending to be lovers to spite Kota's ex who is a siren. Dior accused Vincent of cheating and the vampire laughed and said Benji was babysitting their last born at home, said he's basically a house husband so he called Benji who spoke to Dior and made Vincent agree to convince the Vampire King to let him visit us with their kids. They'll surely get along with Caius." At the mention of their son's name, Astra gasped. "Oh my goddess, the twins.
Caia growled. It was rare, very rare for her to growl as she saw it as an instigation for a fight so she hardly ever did it but not only was she growling right now, her tiny fangs poked out of their hidden places, a scowl as big as Caius' appetite. Before she could punch her brother in the face, her father held her by the scruff and pulled her closer to him. "Boyfriend eh?" "I don't have a boyfriend." She asserted. "Yes, you do. His name is Justin, he's eight years old and he's in our class." Caius sneered. "Shut up." "He's not even from our pack. He's a half dingo." "We have dingo hybrids?" Astra looked at her mate who nodded. "Some jackals too, they've lost their packs so the Alpha King told us to welcome them. Remember that paperwork I got busy with and couldn't come home for two days which got you mad?" "Hmmm, I do." The luna nodded. "They can't be entered into the pack until their courier confirmation and affidavits are stamped by both me and the Alpha King. So the Alph
They were supposed to be here by now. Astra couldn't sit still, and Caia copied her actions although for a different reason. Astra couldn't wait to see her longtime friend while Caia was nervous to make new friends. Uncle is nice so his children will be, she was told but her parents seemed to have forgotten their vampire parent. Caius was laying on his parents' bed lazily playing with a twister while his father sat behind his desk reading some documents. "Dad." The boy suddenly called. "Yes?" "Uncle Benji is a boy right?" "Hmm," Izan affirmed. "And his mate is also a boy. So how did they have children? Because you know boy and boy can't have children." "I'm sure they adopted," Izan replied and Caius nodded then he spoke again. "How many kids do they have?" "I already said I don't know," Izan spared his son a glance before going back to his work. "What if they're not like me?" The Alpha sighed in frustration. "This is why your mother doesn't answer your questions sometimes.
"I can't believe your mom is pregnant again." The boy sighed as he sprawled over the bed like a starfish, hoping he could sink into the bed and be suffocated to death. He was the first of seven children, being the first of four sons. "Wonder what she's gonna name this one." "Dewberry, Lingonberry, Bilberry, Gojiberry, Cranberry, Acaiberry, Juneberry, I'm sure she has more." Dew groaned at his friends' laughter. "Boysenberry and Goldenberry are actually good names," Boysen mused thinking the names suited him and his sister. "Blueberry, Strawberry and she named Ian Pineberry cos she thought he would be like Caia." Caius snorted. "No, she wanted him to be like Caia because one of you is enough," Boysen spoke and Caius snorted even harder.The three were newly shifted wolves at age sixteen with Dew shifting last. In fact he or rather his wolf had been the first to confirm his mother's latest pregnancy. "Damn Dew, your fathers have quite the stamina," Caius said."And your mother is
He opened his heavy eyes to darkness. He moved his body around and his hand grazed against something. Holding one finger out, he poked the hard object then he touched it gently and held it in his hands. The object was long and quite enlarged at the tip with a switch attached to its side and Caius felt around the item before realizing it was a flashlight. Where am I? What happened? How did I get here? He asked himself as a sharp constant ringing evaded his ears annoyingly and no matter how much he shook his head to lose the ringing, it just didn't work. The echoing-almost-piercing sound was what one heard in dead silence and right now, Caius had no clue where he was or he got there. All he knew was he was on a very cold floor holding a flashlight.He switched on the flashlight and moved it around until it landed on something breathing, staring at him fiercely as if to say 'this is my tuff and you're trespassing' and truth be told, Caius had a feeling he really was as this place smel
