289- The Womb of the Alpha
POV Elowen Grimwald:
“Then tell me what it is, handsome.”
“I’m thinking about the day I’ll take our pups out of you. It will be quite an experience.”
Oh, no… he still had not given up on the idea of delivering the babies himself.
“Without a midwife? Are you sure?”
“As certain as the sun on summer days, it’s a fact that I will be the one delivering your babies, my love. You have no idea how much I’ve been studying to handle any complications.”
Of course he had been studying. Every week, he showed up with new books.
“And you’re going to see my vagina completely stretched open?” His mischievous smile widened.
“As if I haven’t already seen it from bottom to top, top to bottom, in every position.”
I laughed, smacking his arm.
“It’s different! It’s going to, like… tear!” Just the anticipation made me uneasy.
Leaning on one arm, he lifted the other and gently touched my face.
“Do you trust me?” The answer was obvious.
“As you usually tell me, I trust you with my life.”
“Then that’s enough.” He pressed a loud kiss to my lips. “I’ll hunt fresh meat for us. I’ll be back quickly.”
“Do your best, my alpha.” I winked.
With his eyes flecked in gold, he took two steps back and transformed into a white wolf. I watched him leave through the door, determined to bring us the best hunt.
I stayed there, enjoying the warmth and eagerly awaiting his return for a hearty meal. My wild pups would need a strong mother. Zara, the name I chose for the female, and Zímeron, the name Aldren chose for the male. Of course, I convinced him to reveal his choice before their birth.
I could hardly wait to have a house full of pups… an entire pack of pups!
I sighed, muffling my anxiety. All it took was a moment alone for certain memories to hover through my mind. The implicit mission Korlina gave me before she died was still a mystery to me.
Regardless of what appeared in my future, once I became a mother, my priorities were different. Standing beside my mate in the mission to protect our family and care for Valmorin would always be at the top of the list.
In the end, everything came down to who we were. What we did with our own lives. I found true love and felt completely happy, but love does not work alone. It is necessary to forgive; it is necessary to grow.
Some will be happy without loving a mate. Others will spend the rest of their lives sad for not having found theirs. And there will still be those who remain unhappy even with their destined partner by their side. It is and always will be about ourselves.
Hi, little witch! The voice that echoed in my mind sent a shiver from head to toe.
How? How was she communicating with me again after so long?
“Caged she-wolf?” I replied, hoping she could hear me.
Not caged, just taking care of our pups in here while I can’t transform.
“My goodness… How do you do that?” I asked, my heart breaking into a frantic rhythm.
Didn’t like the surprise? It’s one of your little witch abilities.
“My God… this is scary.”
Relax, I was just following your thoughts and I have a message.
Wonderful, we truly were one and the same.
“A message…?”
Yes. I also want many pups, but I need to tell you that I won’t be able to open our womb for the next few months…
I straightened in the armchair, unsettled by that information.
“Why? I need answers.”
Your witch friend didn’t communicate only with you before she died. She gave me some instructions too. We cannot get pregnant so quickly. It’s even good, you know, that way we can truly enjoy our first pups. My supernatural wolf personality sounded calm and carefree.
“What else did she tell you, caged she-wolf? I need you to tell me. I really do. What’s the reason? Does it have anything to do with the supposed mission?” I insisted on the nickname, and the words burst from my mouth, my anxiety overwhelming.
I just told you. Don’t get nervous, or our mate will feel it and get distracted during his hunt. Oh, speaking of which, I chose our male well, didn’t I? He protects us, loves us every night, and always serves us fresh meat.
“Caged she-wolf!”
Calm down, little witch, I already said that. Remember when we were imprisoned? You only slept because I was storing our energy to speed up the transformation. Together, and with the power that was granted to us, we are powerful. Enjoy our male very much. I’m counting the minutes until the birth of our pups and our next heat. See you soon.
