Catherine's POV
15 years later.
I'm watching the first shift and watching Noah Tracy's pup. Tracy, Frank, and their little girl, Gia, watched as his body shifted. It took about 40 minutes, but Gia threw up. "Gross, his skin is hanging." Tracy shushed her and said it's normal. We watch as Noah and my daughter recognize that they are mates. Darrien had made Artimis the heir to the pack. We haven't yet made a plan for Apollo. We were thinking of giving him Blue Claw, but we hadn't made the final decision. Kimmy had a beautiful little girl named Saffi who played a lot with Apollo. She doesn't know it yet, but their mates. She will know next year, but they are best friends. Tally had twin boys named Timthony and Thomas. I know that they are mates to our twin girls.
Kayden and Bella had two girls Hayley and Kelsey. Jamie is the next heir. Not that Kayden know but the hayley will be mated to the beta wolf of his pack and Kelsey will be mated to the gamma wolf at the royal kingdom.
Aiden and Emily had gotten pregnant but then miscarried. She said she could never go through it ever again. They did adopt a beautiful orphan boy named Eric. However, since Eric is not a part of our bloodline, but a beta wolf, not an alpha. That means the kingdom ends with Aiden. I know he wanted one of my girls to be his mate.
Darrien and I have a whole liter full of pups. Our 16-year-olds Apollo and Artimis are Moon and Sun. Our 14-year-old Nova and Stella are our Stars. Mary, after my mother, is turning 10 next month. Harper just turned 7 last month and was named after Darrien's mother. Our youngest is Annabeth, after our pack doctor, who has delivered all my pups. After a long discussion, we agreed to try for one more boy, but I was already told this was my last pregnancy due to my age. Darrien rubs my baby bump with one boy. "Darrien, no more pups, you're getting a vasectomy!" I almost growl out as I try to hide my discomfort.
"Yes, Honey. You say that every time." Darrien kisses my cheek and rubs where my son is kicking right now.
"I booked it with the doctor for next week," I said with fake anger. He nods and picks up our twin girls. "Nova and Stella, how was school today?" I barely heard a word as my stomach growled in hunger. I watch as Harper pulls on Annabeth's pigtails as Mary tries to stop them from fighting.
"Sweetheart, Aiden is on the phone. He said it is important." Darrien tells me. I nodded as I waddled to my shared office with Darrien. He followed me to the elevator to our floor. It's just Darrien and me when I put the phone on speaker.
"Hey Ade, what's wrong?" Worried in my voice.
"It's the Royal Council. Emily and I have only our son Eric. He is a solid royal Beta wolf, and they have agreed to take the position, but I need to announce my Heir. What do you think about Apollo? He is an Alpha wolf and our bloodline." I could hear Emily trying to plan their move out of the castle if this doesn't work.
"Give me a second." I send Apollo a text to come to my office ASAP. Seconds later Apollo barges in huffing. "Sorry honey I didn't mean to worry you. Take a breath, I have your uncle on the line with Aunt Emily. They have something to ask you."
"Uncle?" Apollo's voice was still straining from running.
"Will you be the heir to the Royal Kindom pack?" Aiden sounds strong, but is concerned that he might turn it down.
"Uncle, that sounds amazing. You do know I have a mate and she doesn't shift until next year. I can not be away from her, my wolf won't let me." Apollo is already in love.
"Apollo, I'll make you a deal. I announce that I have made my nephew my heir. You stay in your pack until your lovely mate shifts. You and your mate come to the Royal Kingdom Pack for training. I would like to ask that you accept Eric as your Royal Beta?" Aiden asks.
"Cousin Eric? Oh dude, we are going to be having a blast. DEAL!" Apollo jumps for joy and high-fives Darrien.
"Okay. Aiden, since Apollo is your heir, I want to make Nova and Stella Co-Alphas of the Blue Claw Pack. We want to call it the Twin Star pack for them. As Grandma has already mated off all my pups. Once Artismis takes over in the three to five years, we want to travel once Ezra is old enough to be on her own for a little while. Wanna join us? I am thinking of a cruise." I say with excitement.
"You got it. I'll let Emily know. Please try not to get pregnant again." Aiden laughs as he hangs up.
I lean into Darrien's side, starting to watch the pack watching our pups and all the others. Our number have sky rocked and we are finally move pack member back into the Blue claw area. I sharp pain in my lower back and I new what that meant. "Darrien, Can you carry me to the pack hospital please." My please came out more like a whine.
"Sure, sweetheart. What is wrong?" Darrien's concern was in his voice.
"Oh, just our son decided today would be a good day to come into the world." I wrap my arms around his neck.
"What?" he screamed. He lifted me as he ran down the stairs by Frank. "Baby's coming! Watch ours?" I see Frank smile and give me a thumbs up. We arrived at the pack house where we get the delivery room. Darrien lays me down on the delivery bed.
"Ready" Pack doctor said as she measures me. "Well no time to wait he is here. On the next contraction push."
The pain in my back as my stomach tightens and I push. Our son screams, and my body relaxes. She places him on my chest. "Welcome to the world, Ezra. I love you, Darrien. Thank you for winning me back." I kissed him. "Hey Doc. Darrien has his appointment next week. Can we do it today?"
"Sure, I can even do it no,w just give me 5 minutes." She got up and left.
"Only for you love. I love making pups with you, but I understand why. After I'm done, let's try again and again," he growled."Because YOU ARE MINE!" He growled and nipped my lips. "I love you."
