I pulled my dress off and kicked off my shoes before shifting into my own wolf, and laying down next to my mate. “The Council is satisfied that her human part is dead,” I told him along with Stan and Larry. “What I did saved her wolf. She will no longer be able to shift, she has no human left. Larry, you have your mate but that was the cost.”
“I don’t care if she can shift as long as I have her,” he said. “What of our baby?”
“I don’t know yet,” I said. “It’s not like I’ve done this before. My healing power was in her, but we will have to wait and see.”
“Thank you, Jessie. Thank you for everything.” Liz had finished eating and drank most of the water as the crowd watched. She went back to Larry, licking his face as he cleaned her muzzle. Feeling better, she started to rub her fur onto him, spreading her scent and basking in the mate tingles. The two sniffed each other, then she dropped her forelegs, butt high and tail wagging, and barked at him. He mirrored her stance before she took off for the woods, Larry yipping as he chased her.
“Alpha Stan, can you follow them, make sure they are all right,” I asked.
“Of course, Jessie. What are you doing?”
“Going back to my room with my mate, that exhausted me,” I said. He took off for the woods, Alpha Viktor following him, as the crowd started to break up. “Come on, my mate. I need to be held.”
He came alongside me, licking my ears. “You’re amazing, you know that? You made an entire Council submit and you weren’t even trying.”
“They fucked up and they knew it,” I said. “Now come on, the baby and I are tired.” We trotted back to our clothes, shifting and pulling them on before going back inside.
After a fun shower with him, we fell into bed, the window open to let the cool mountain air in. I heard a howl in the distance, the howl of a male claiming his mate in wolf form, and I smiled. Larry would have his future.All content is property © NôvelDrama.Org.
Jessie’s POV
One Week Later
I opened my eyes to the first light of the day coming through the gap in the curtains. I felt rested, finally, the long trip back from Russia to Minnesota was not fun for a pregnant woman with bad morning sickness. I’m sure the other people in first class with us didn’t like the three times I threw up before we were even out of the country. We had stayed awake most of the flight, listening to Russian language learning programs together, so we could sleep after we arrived late last night.
My stomach started to roll again, and I rolled out of bed. His arm fell limp off my hip to the blanket. I raced to the toilet, emptying my stomach out before going to the bathroom. I turned on the shower and let it heat up while brushing my teeth to get the taste of vomit out.
I was not enjoying this part of being pregnant a bit.
“Are you all right,” John’s voice came from the other side of the door.
“Fine,” I said. I pulled off his long shirt and stepped into the shower as my mate came in. The curtain made his shape fuzzy, but there was no mistaking the broadness of his chest or the taper down to his narrow waist. Every time I looked at him I wondered how I got so lucky.
“I wonder how I got so lucky too,” he said as he pulled the curtain back and joined me. “Can I help you wash?”
“I’m barely showing, it’s not like I can’t see my toes yet,” I said, but his eyes were dark with lust and I could feel the bond between us pulse as my body responded. He took the sponge from my hand, cleaning my face as I closed my eyes and relaxed my body into his. He took his time, doing my hair before he moved down my body. My breath caught as he started to rub my tender breasts. “Careful, they are sensitive,” I told him.
“Bigger, too. I’m liking you this way.” His wolf loved me barefoot and pregnant as well, and both were even more attentive and protective of me than before. He was always touching me or watching me, never letting me do anything that might hurt me. My wolf loved the attention that sometimes grated on my human part. He continued down my stomach, kissing the bump before doing my legs and feet. His tongue and lips were busy elsewhere, and I was moaning by the time he finished, and then it was my turn to tease him.
His wolf didn’t like to be teased.
It wasn’t long before I was holding on to the shower head and the wall for dear life as he pounded into me from behind. The wet slaps of his hips to my ass echoed in the small bathroom, joining my loud cries and moans as he worked his fingers on my clit from behind. I came twice before he joined me on the third, holding that thick cock as deep in me as he could go. As his hot seed filled me, my legs lost their strength and he ended up holding me up until I had control of them again. “That was amazing,” I said softly when he finally slipped out.
“Now I get to clean you again,” he said with a smile. There might have been a round two except the hot water ran out, so we quickly rinsed and dried and ran back to the bed. “I’m glad we don’t have to be anywhere until lunch with the Alphas at noon,” he said as I snuggled into his side. “Jet lag sucks.”
“We’ll have to get used to it, we have a Pack on the other side of the world now,” I said. “I can’t wait for our friends to get here.” A private jet from Scotland was arriving at eleven thirty, and a flight from Moscow at two. The guest Alphas and the American and European council representatives would also arrive tonight. “I’m glad I let Larissa and Abigail do the wedding planning, there’s no way I’d be ready for tomorrow without them.” I had texted and talked to them on Facetime a few times from Moscow, and they had performed miracles in a few days. I had found my dress in Moscow, a traditional Russian design, and John’s former Pack was bringing his tuxedo from his old room at the castle.
We talked and snuggled for another hour before we absolutely had to get up and get dressed. Winter had come to the Midwest, so I was dressed in jeans, Uggs, a turtleneck and a wool sweater. John was looking very Minnesotan with his jeans, boots, Vikings turtleneck and a plaid shirt. “We’ll be out in a few seconds,” I told our driver.
It felt weird no longer having a car or being able to just go to the store alone, but that was the life I’d found myself in now. The paparazzi had been waiting for us at the airport, everyone wanting a picture of one of the richest women in the world and her studly fiancé. Alpha Stan had his men doing security, and I had brought a half-dozen unmated wolves from the Moscow Pack to help. I begged Stan to let me have my old cabin back while we were staying because I wanted time alone, and I had to stay on his Pack grounds for security reasons. He wanted to put me up in the visiting Alpha guest rooms, but we declined- other Alphas were coming as well as the Council.
This little cabin I’d rented after the “Hooters Incident” was cozy and comfortable, and a palace compared to the little cabin on the lake up north we’d spent so much time in.
We walked out hand-in-hand and got in the back for the short drive to the Pack house. The place was full of noise as we arrived, with the Pack gathered to greet us as well as see Patrick’s mate. It took a good twenty minutes to get the hugs and handshakes out of the way, and my eyes were a little misty by the time we finally sat at the round table at the front of the room. Council Chair Robert Steele was sitting to the right of Alpha Stan along with his mate Laura, while we were to his left next to Larissa. It was a big honor for him to attend our wedding. “No chance of getting you to stay in the States now, I guess,” he said with a grin as we greeted him.
“What can I say, Chair Steele, they used the Pack children to draw me in and I couldn’t turn my birthright down after spending time with them. And that rooftop pool!”
He laughed. “I know what you mean, that could make those cold Moscow winters a little more bearable. Congratulations on your news, by the way. Twins with your first mating, Luna has truly blessed you.”
I looked down, my hand going over my baby bump. “I’m still in shock from the ultrasound. It’s no wonder my morning sickness has been so bad.”
“It will be over soon,” Luna Marina said. She was with Viktor, Mischa and Patrick, Konstantin was at another table with some of the unmated of the Pack. “I’m so excited about you kids, pretty soon Mischa will be mated and pregnant and I’ll be a grandmother!” Mischa just rolled her eyes while Patrick kissed her head.
“I’m glad I’ll have a big Pack to help out. I couldn’t imagine having twins alone. I appreciate what my Mom did for me more and more every day.” Now it was John’s turn to kiss my forehead.
“You’ll never be alone, I know the old women of the Pack are already knitting things for our babies,” he said. “What we really need is to find Konstantin’s mate. He’s getting a little grumpy in his old age,” he teased.
“No kidding, let’s give Mom someone a little closer to obsess over pups with,” Mischa said.
“Well, there’s going to be a lot of people here this weekend, and I arranged for the singles in my Pack to stay while we are off on our honeymoon and go on a tour of American packs,” I said. Unmated males needed to find their mates, it helped them settle down and become responsible Pack members, plus it brought new blood into the Packs.
“He better hope he doesn’t smell of shewolf when he finds her,” Marina said. “I’d have smacked the shit out of my mate if I found him like that.” She looked over at the table where a young female was rubbing herself against his muscled arm, her shirt pulled low to show her ample cleavage. She must have said something to him over the link because he sat up and moved her arm.
The lunch was over, and we were laughing over dessert and coffee when I heard a commotion outside. The doors opened to reveal Alpha Esca and Luna Eleanor, along with other members of John’s old Pack in Scotland. Betas Jack and Sarah flanked their Alphas, and behind them their son Sean stood with their twin daughters Jane and Julia and Gamma James. “Come on,” John said as he helped me up from my chair. He quickly embraced his former Alpha and Luna, and they both pulled me into hugs as well. I had briefly met their Pack at the castle, and everyone was happy now that the two of us were mated and expecting.
