Chapter 227
Alfreds POV
We made love in the bedroom, and then I took her to the bathhouse. No matter how many times we made love, she was always so tight. Even after giving birth to Junior, she was not loose. She is tight. That has to be part of the white wolf. The power of the white wolf heals better than that of regular wolves. The fact that she survived such a hard life growing up is a miracle. Now she is carrying four pups at once, which I know is going to take a toll on her. However, I will make sure that she takes care of herself. I will also make sure she takes her vitamins and eats enough to support her pregnancy. We finished our bath, then I carried her back to the room. I dried her off, and then we went to bed.
There was no need to get clothes on. We needed to feel each other's skin. Even though we had been apart for a week or less, I missed her so much. It had felt like my heart had been ripped out of my chest. I missed her so much that it was painful. She was always on my mind. Even though I needed to focus on everything else, she was always on my mind. We went to bed, and it did not feel like we had been asleep for long before my alarm went off. I grumbled, but not as much as she did. She was going to rest today.
" Baby, I want you to rest today."
However, she got out of bed because she said she was hungry. She got dressed and went to the kitchen. I heard her going through the kitchen looking for pots and pans to make something to eat. I knew Mac was in there. He was letting her do whatever she wanted. Which I was grateful for. I got up and got dressed. I then left and went to the kitchen. When I walked in, I could smell eggs cooking. I then looked in the pan. She was making French toast. She enjoyed French toast. She would eat it a lot with Junior. She made a lot like she was going to be feeding an army, but she was just feeding herself, and me, Mac, was not going to eat with us. He hardly ever ate with us. He preferred to eat with his mate.
I understood the need to eat with your mate. When Vanessa was gone, I ate alone. I did not want to eat with anyone either. We finished our breakfast, and then I had to meet with Cane and Dracula. We needed to talk about the war. There was a war that we were talking about. That some of the vampires were still going to try to hunt Vanessa down, and we were going to try to stop it. Cane and Dracula were going to gather all the vampires together and lay down the law to them. They were going to call a meeting of all the leaders of the vampires together. So that way, they could discuss everything. Cane and Dracula were not happy about what was going on. I knew this might start a war. However, I do not care. I will do anything that I can to protect Vanessa and our pups.
I meant Cane and Dracula in the main office.
" It's good to see you."
" It's good to see you as well."
" OK, enough with the pleasantries."
We discussed which tribes they were going to gather together. All the tribes that were in the north and the south were going to meet first. Then we will meet with everyone else. All the armies had been called to the palace, and they were prepared to fight if they needed to. Cane had called all his best warriors and left some of his warriors in Romania to protect his castle. Dracula did the same with his castle. He got his best warriors, and there was an army camped outside. I did not tell Vanessa about all the warriors that are here. I did not want to worry her. She had enough on her plate to worry about right now. She is carrying four pups at once. That's a lot for a woman. They are all girls.
" This evening we meet with the leaders of the South."
"I'm glad to hear it."
" I will have my cooks make extra food for everyone."
" We will see each other later."
I left them in the main hall. I went straight to the palace kitchen.
" Mac, can you make more food?"
" We will have to send people to the store and get some things."
"That's fine."
I then went to find my mate. I needed to be near her. I found her outside in the garden. She was sitting with her back towards the sunset. It was getting colder outside. Winter was starting to sit in. The colors were going around her like a halo. She really did look like a goddess sitting there. What goddess? I had no idea. I slowly walked over to her. When I got to her, I bowed at her feet.
" My love and my precious goddess."
" Hey, love."
It was only when I reached my hand out to her, and she took it, that I got up. I wanted her to know how important she was to me. She was everything that I had ever wanted and dreamed of. She was everything that I had waited for my whole life. Not because she lifted my curse, but because I have always wanted my true mate. I wanted to be happy like my parents, and I was as happy as they were before they died. I knew that they were with the moon goddess watching over us. I knew somehow that my father was guiding me from the grave. It was like he was guiding me somehow. I stopped thinking about my parents and started thinking about the war that is coming.
" Vanessa, we have to talk."
" What about?"
"There's a war coming."
" I know."
She was so calm when she said I know. I expected her to start crying or screaming no. However, the only thing she said was, I know. That was something that I was not expecting. Has she gone numb to everything? Has she got so used to the chaos that she has checked out?
" Vanessa, there is a war coming."
"Alfred, I know there is."
" They want the power of the white wolf."
" I was born this way."
" The moon goddess will protect me."
" She will protect us."
At least she hasn't checked out. I thought that she may have.
" Alfred, I know what's coming and what must be done."
I was pleased that she knew what was coming and that she had faith in the moon goddess. I hated the fact that war was coming because that would be less time with her. But that was necessary.
