Chapter 53
Two more days until the duel. The group was sitting around eating dinner. Tomorrow I would say all my goodbyes and Vincent and I would head out early in the morning. I felt fully healed and stronger than ever. We were practicing every day. Vincent had even let Cole and Eric train with us, so I was better with the unknown and different styles of fighting. John, Michael, and Reagan trained with me as well. It was difficult not to use magic when in human form. I don't think I will be fighting much in human for anyway. Everyone was laughing at the story that Vincent was telling. At one of the training sessions in human form, I used my powers to levitate Cole. No one knew until that day that our new king was a bit afraid of heights.
I was holding Vi and Diane had commandeered Ri. Ri was slowly getting used to life without his wolf as his whining had lessened. They were both growing perfectly. As I looked into the eyes of my daughter, it was like looking into Vincent's eyes. I didn't think I would love anyone more than my mate, but these two bundles sure came close.
A tear fell from my eye as I thought about how, tomorrow, could be our last day together. Vincent put his arm around me and leaned in, "Save that for tomorrow. Tonight, you need to enjoy your friends, family and extended family."
"I know," I said, wiping the tear with my free hand. "It is the hormones."
"Likely excuse." He said, smiling and pulling us deeper into the hug. Vi cooed as she sensed her father. She was such a daddy's girl. I smiled at her and handed her to Vincent.
We all talked late into the night. Millie had put the twins down and followed Katie to bed. Everyone else slowly excused themselves. Leaving just me and Vincent. We moved up to our room. The baby monitor was silent as both the babies were sleeping soundly. "We made some pretty pups," I said.
"We should practice making some more," he smiled at me. Removing his shirt. I didn't want to think about how this might be our last night, as tomorrow I needed my rest. The tears started again. He came over and wiped them away. His tough thumb stopping at my lips and chin.
He tilted my chin up till our eyes met. "I love you. You are the strongest person I know. You will come home to me, Kaite, Millie and our pups."
"Is that a command?" I asked.
"No. But this is," He said, kneeling below me. "Remove your clothes."
I did as I was told, slowly removing each piece and throwing them to the floor. Vincent started to kiss me from the top of my head all the way down my stomach. He spent extra time on each of my breasts. He got even lower and stopped as he parted by lower lips and sucked.
My knees were weak by this and he placed his arm under my b**t to carry me to the bed. Within minutes, we had both reached our climax. We spent the next few hours in each other's arms. We took turns pleasing each other. When it was near sunrise on the day of goodbyes, I fell asleep in Vincent's arms wishing time would freeze forever and we could relive the last week.
I was woken by the baby monitor about an hour after we had fallen asleep but when I checked, Millie was already there giving Vi a bottle. Diane, who had moved back onto the Alpha floor to assist, was also in the room giving Ri a bottle and rocking him back to sleep.
I knew one thing. If I didn't come back tomorrow, my babies would be greatly loved and protected. Vincent sat up in bed and looked at the monitor. He whispered in my ear behind me. "Come back to bed and we will sleep until lunch."This is the property of Nô-velDrama.Org.
He was almost right. About 3 hours later, my breasts were so full I needed to pump and feed the twins. How am I going to do this? How am I going to walk out tomorrow, I thought as I rocked Fenrir as he nursed.
Right as I finished nursing, Diane walked in. "Oh, you are here. I thought you would still be sleeping," she smiled.
"Nature called," I commented.
"I remember. Vincent ate so much but Val didn't, so I was always pumping and nursing," she said.
Tears started to form in my eyes. "Diane, can you promise me to watch after them. Not just these two, but Millie, Katie and Vincent. We never talk about what happens if I lose, but it could happen."
"Filli, my dear, do you want to know why no one talks about it? It is because we cannot imagine a world without you. You have brought us all together. You made my son a stronger Alpha, gave us a fairer King, and I don't mean just in looks." I started to laugh at her comment.
"In truth, we wouldn't be here. There has been pain and loss for all of us but we are all better because of you. The moment I met you I knew you were my family, even if you had chosen another. Millie and Katie are my granddaughters just as much as Vi and RI." I continued to let the tears fall as I hugged her.
"As for my son, he will be lost without you. We will help him but you must return. We all love you so much." Her hug tightened and I felt the dampness on my cheek from her tears.
"I plan to return. I think I have paid enough dues." I said, aiming that question at Selene.
"I think she hears you," Sasha said. "I will fight hard and strong. As the daughter of Selene, I will come out on top."
"Thank you," I said to both.
Later, I was joined by Millie and Kaite. We spent some time just playing together. Val and Vincent joined us later in the nursery.
Vincent came to sit behind me on the floor as we cooed at Fenrir and Violet. Suddenly, Fenrir's eyes glowed and he let out a little cry. I picked him up and he reached me. I was taken to a field in the woods. Sasha was standing there bloody and injured, as my father came out of the woods, followed by other wolves. Below me laid my father's wolf dead but he slowly transformed into a warlock. Suddenly, I was back in the nursery breathing heavily. Millie had taken Fenrir away and Vincent was in front of me.
"It will be a trap," I said. "What?" Vincent asked.
I turned and looked at Ri who was smiling at me. "I know one of his powers. If what I saw is true, we are going to walk into a trap tomorrow. The location was in Dark Moon pack territory, I was sure of it. I think my father plans to kill Alpha Alex today and take over his pack." "Or they are working with him," Millie said.
Vincent looked at us in shock. He started to link people to his office. I linked all the non-pack members though my powers. A few minutes later, we were all gathered in Vincent's office.
I tried to reach out to Alex but he must have been too far away. Vincent picked up the phone to call him as Cora and Eric walked through the door. As the last people we needed, they started to lock the door.
The De Mallios and Browns came through the door.
"You are my Luna and our family. We will do what you need," Diane said, and everyone nodded. Vincent's father walked behind him and put a hand on his shoulder. The phone was just ringing. I prayed we were not too late to save Alex.
