***"Are you being real right now?" Deloris stared at Philip."If you'd asked me this before I fell for my mate, I'd have definitely told you I wasn't being real." Philip stared the warlock down. "Hell, I'd have talked Jer out of it. But now, let's just say I know what he's going through." He totally missed Gloria's smile."Alpha...""You better cast that spell pronto before I have you thrown into a dungeon." Philip cut Deloris off."Philip..." Gloria groaned."I'll let them give you a TV in there," Philip added in a stern voice but couldn't suppress his grin when he saw Deloris rolling her eyes. "And you'll have Mama Cora to keep you company. It won't be so bad.""What!" Mama Cora's indignant gasp drew irrepressible laughter from Gloria."Oh my god, Philip shut up." The increasing horror on Mama Cora's face made Gloria laugh harder. The old woman clearly didn't know that Philip didn't mean what he was saying. "You were not here when Deloris gave us her reasons for not being in suppor
***For a split second, Philip's breath hitched in his throat but he recovered quickly. Gloria, who was the only werewolf amongst the women in the room and could clearly hear the pulsing of a heart, didn't miss the alpha's telling reaction to her question."You mean apart from my plan to tell the council to end that archaic rule of an alpha fucking his mate in public whilst every other person remained clothed?" Philip raised an eyebrow. "Nope, nothing to share.""Luna, have mercy." Gloria shook her head but couldn't wipe the amused admiration off her face. "What the hell...you have my support." Gloria threw up her hands."And mine too." Deloris laughed. "I've never understood that silly rule you wolves have anyway.""They're just a bunch of perverts." Mama Cora snorted. "You two had better help the alpha change that stupid rule." The old sorcerer said and then turned to give Philip one of her rare smiles. "I hope your father also throws in his support. I'm not on the council but you h
***"No..." Troy gasped, his hand gripping the sheet so tightly his knuckles turned white.Although Philip wasn't moving, his cock was pressed against that spot which since the day before, never ceased to make Troy weak from intense pleasure at the slightest touch. Troy could feel that familiar sizzle rushing down his spine, knew what was about to happen, and willed it not to. Hell, Philip hadn't even started giving him those heavenly strokes yet. After a moment, Troy regained control of his body and began to relax. The danger had passed, he thought with relief. Then Philip moved..."Oh, my god..." Troy cried out as he shot onto the sheets beneath him."Fuck..." Philip breathed, his eyes riveted on his mate's writhing back as his cock got hit with the sweetest gripping contractions. "Troy?""Oh shit, you moved." Troy gasped as his body took its pleasure. "I couldn't stop it. You moved..." He kept moaning."I didn't know I wasn't supposed to." Philip was amused but also filled with so
***Ryan looked up at his mate with a frown. Jeremy looked as if he was about to pass out. Ryan took in the faces of the people in the theater, some very serious in a professional way and others, very anxious. Apart from Jeremy and Philip who remained imposing in their jeans and t-shirts, all the others were in theater gowns. Even Deloris was in a theater gown, looking all serious and professional.Ryan could see Stan, Troy, Gloria, Paige, Joel, and Mama Cora through the glass around the theater. But for Gloria who also had a grim look on her face, all the others looked excited. Ryan raised an eyebrow when one of the nurses began to fix a shield over his chest. The plan was clearly to shield the business end from his view."I guess my first glimpse of my baby is going to be a 'Lion King' moment," Ryan chuckled, "where Rafiki...in this case, Dr. Sanders holds the little bundle aloft for me to see from here." He added in a drawl, making all the people in the room except Jeremy, laugh."
***"Be nice to the nice doctor, kiddo." Jeremy sighed as he patted his mate's stomach one last time and then turned to go back to his former spot. "Do your thing, Sanders. But when it's time to take it out, you need to do that yourself because I told it that you were helping." He said breathlessly. "We wouldn't want it throwing another person would we?""We definitely wouldn't." The doctor chuckled. "Scalpel." He called.The medical team went to work. Cutting, dissecting, suctioning, and doing all that they needed to do to get to the baby. At a point, Jeremy actually felt dizzy from all the pain. He just couldn't handle it. When everyone in the theater felt a sudden crackle of power permeate the air, they all stilled. Even the doctors paused in what they were doing."Don't stop." Came the cool command from the red-eyed Jeremy, his arms folded across his broad chest. "As you were." Then he turned to look at Philip who was trying very hard not to laugh and muttered. "Idiot would have p
***"What?" Philip tore his eyes off his mate and looked up to see the confusion on the faces of the medical team. "Shit. Talk to you later, baby." The alpha broke into a run."What do you mean you need a bigger opening?" Gloria was asking as Philip entered. "How big can a baby's head be?""I just..." Dr. Sanders looked flustered. "I...I just need a bigger opening to get...""Cut it doc," Deloris instructed. "Sorry alpha." She threw at the red-eyed Jeremy who merely shrugged. The warlock didn't really seem to care about the Ojah at that particular moment though. "Just be quick about it before he loses too much blood." She was more worried about Ryan.Everyone watched the medical teamwork, cringing at the whirring noises from the machine that was used to cauterize the small blood vessels to prevent bleeding. And through it all, the Ojah stood unmoving as though he couldn't feel a thing. Everyone knew better."Oh, Luna!" Dr. Sanders gasped at whatever he saw when the cut was wide enough
***"Are you done with my mate, Sanders?" Jeremy asked with a sheepish grin."Yes, alpha." The doctor nodded. "He's going to be wheeled back to his room.""Good. Place my child on my mate's chest for now." Jeremy instructed. "And Stan?" Jeremy called to his grinning friend. "Get them to change the rug in Ryan's room...what's the word you doctors usually use? Stat!" Jeremy grinned as the medical team laughed. "Preferably, a thick and fluffy one, Stan.""Right away Alpha." Stan took off."What are you doing?" Ryan laughed, his curious eyes on his mate."You'll see." Jeremy gave his mate a wink so sexy and lecherous he blushed."He's back," Philip muttered with a fist pump, obviously thrilled that his friend was himself again and taking charge."Michelle?" Gloria called to the nurse as the doctor placed her grandson on Ryan's chest. "I need soft towels. New and very soft please." She seemed to know exactly what her son was trying to do. "Congratulations honey." She kissed a teary-eyed Ry
***Florence, ItalyInside one of the most beautiful office buildings in the world, a young man of about twenty-five who looked dashing in an expensive-looking elegant suit walked briskly down a long beautifully decorated corridor. If the frown on his unbelievably handsome face was anything to go by, he was very agitated. Whatever stress the man was feeling, however, didn’t seem to affect his colour at all as his flawless skin remained creamy white and so smooth.His thick and wavy dark hair which had been given a trendy cut added to his sexiness. He was about five ‘eleven and looked very fit. He was the kind of man that ladies would gush and drool over and call, hot. The young man pushed open a door and walked in, startling the pretty lady who was seated at her desk. She shot to her feet with wide eyes and croaked;“He’s in a meeting, Sir. He asked not to be distur…”“Yeah, yeah, yeah, bite me.” The young man growled as he went past the lady to a hidden door and swiped his right thum
