Chapter 35

Lucus’s POV:

How stupid can I be? My mate. Amelia. Whom I trusted with my life...betrayed me.

Again!

I am going to brand her. I am going to brand her soul with mine.

No more excuses!

I was putting it off as Amelia was my mate. Branding a soul with mine has its own consequences.

Like the soul which will be branded with mine, will have no privacy for itself.

It will cry with despair if my anchoring soul is not within its reach.

Not even for a minute, she can wonder off. Of course, it is unless I allow her to.

My face twisted with rage and a dark sinister smirk found its way to my lips.

Oh you just wait my mate.

I am coming for you...

***

I was spent after the bonding I finished with my new mate Dante.

Dante...And Lucus...

Both are my mates now.

And if Martha did her job correctly, our child, who was fathered by both Lucus and Dante, will be growing in me.

I hope that Martha's magic will work.

Dante brought me to his chambers after we finished decorating the throne room with our love juices.

We were both spent and relaxed. So it didn't take any long to fall sleep.

Dante bought me to his body and tightened his hold on me. With blissful satisfaction we both fell into a dreamless sleep.

***

"My King!!!

Open the door please!

We are under attack!!!"

I was drowsy when the sudden shout came from outside our chamber door. Dante was hurriedly dressing with a shirt and a leather pant with his robe.

"Dante...What happened?"

"Amelia, my love put this on. We are under attack from the Lycan Kingdom."

"Lucus?"

"Yes. The demon Lycan. Hurry up my love.”

I hastily dressed in the simple gown and the rob.

While dressing I noticed a significant swelling in my belly.

Guess the potion worked after all!

My heart was thumping with joy while I dressed.

Dante strapped his sword. And we both hurried along the halls to the front.

When we reached the front, it was utter chaos. A group of robed Arogons were holding their hands and creating a protection shield around the castle.

While the others were fighting with wolves.

It was difficult to see everything as the shield blurred everything outside, but I was able to see the blood and fighting.

I was shaking with fear as I recalled the dream I had.

It was becoming true. With troubled eyes, I searched for Lucus.

And finally I found him. Lucus was a force to reckon with. His demonic Lycan eyes locked with mine and a snarl escaped his lips.

As soon as he saw me, he started to charge towards me. His heavy body clashed with the protection wall.

But the wall didn't break.

This seemed to be making him madder, as his rough Lycan voice vibrated through the wall. His black tendrils glowed crimson while red and black thorns attacked the wall. It took only few moments, but ultimately the wall became nothing.

I felt Dante stiffen beside me and he pulled me behind him.

His muscles grew rigid while he prepared to fight.

"STOP!"

Both males looked in my direction with surprise.

"Lucus, my mate stops this chaos. And Dante, let me see Lucus as he is my mate. Both of you listen to me well, our child grows inside me! You are both his fathers! So stop this fighting. There's nothing to fight! I am yours, as both of you are mine.”

My words stunned them both. I saw that.

Lucus was frozen in an attacking mode while Dante was frozen in mid step.

"Child.”

"I am going to be a father?"

"My heir. My son!"

Both were muttering to themselves. They were utterly entranced.

Lucus broke from it first. His Lycan form changed until he was in his regal human form.

Dante turned to me and with slow steps I walked between them.

I caressed Lucus's face and tangled his hand with mine. Then I looked in his eyes.

"Lucus, My King, forgive me. But I had to do it. Our goddess showed me your deaths if I did not mate with Dante. He was my other designed mate...Forgive me love. Please for the sake of your child.”

He was silent for a moment. And I felt like drowning in that moment. If he rejects this, everything will be lost.

I knew Dante was fine with this. It was Lucus, who was more possessive, against this.

After a moment Lucus rested his forehead against mine. Then looked into my eyes.

"Amelia, I have no words...You have made me speechless. I am more than delighted with you pregnant with my seed. But at the same time I am furious with you for what you have done. But I knew...I knew...this will happen. I was putting it off as long as I can. But now Dante has mated with you. We are together in this now. I will try my love. I will...For you are my breath, my soul and my love.”

I was speechless.

Lucus agreed!!

While I was basking with joy, I felt another pair of muscular arms tightening around me. A faint growl passed from Lucus, while Dante was snuggling into me.

"Brother, we should do the bond now as Amelia is our mate now. Otherwise you will not let me in.”

Dante spoke with calmness.

"Yes. We should." Replied Lucus while nuzzling my hair.

With reluctance both of my mates stepped aside from me. And soon Lucus bought a silver dagger and ran it deep in his palm while offering it to Dante. Dante did the same and both of them pressed their palms together, muttering under their breaths.

A faint glow emerged from their joined hands. And as soon as it appeared, it vanished into thin air.

After that both Lucus and Dante came to me. On both of their wrists, was an identical black wolf with red thrones circling it. Under the wolf appeared the joined crowns of Arogons and Lycan Kingdom.

I was crying with joy and happiness.

Finally...Finally it’s over!

Lucus and Dante both smiled at each other. As they were bonded by brotherhood, their hostility was gone.

Theirs hands caressed my slightly swollen belly where our child was nestled.

"Amelia, my love, we will join our kingdoms, we will give ourselves and everything for you and our son.”

Lucus spoke with fondness while kissing my belly.

"You are our life, our soul and our love. You will be the Empress of our kingdoms. "

Dante took my hand and kissed it and bent to kiss our baby.

A joyous sigh escaped my lips while the fighting forces of our joined kingdoms, cheered for our union.

And I faintly saw Martha nodding her head to me, while smiling widely.
