Kari's POVA month later, I was fully healed. Hela was back to her domineering self. I had a bump where I was already finding it hard to bend down to tie my own shoes and I was on my way to spend the day with my grandparents, just the three of us so we could bond better. Grant helped me carry out the box of photo albums to the car. He had become super protective of me, not only for the pups I was carrying, but also because of everything that had happened. After he had marked me the second time, which had been at the insistence of his wolf Zeus, I had passed out in his arms in the middle of the maze. When I woke the next morning, all cosy and wrapped in his arms, I had felt like none of the pain had been there. I was no longer tired, Hela was prancing in my head like a cat that has got the cream, and Grant was well and truly at full mast as he slept. I found out later that the second mark helped Hela to heal herself faster so she could heal me faster, and like always, it had come from
King Alexanders POVMerida's head shot up when she heard the sound of the car on the gravel outside of our home. I smiled at her watching her as she bit her lip and stood. You wouldn't think this woman had been around for 119 years. I went over to her and put a hand on her shoulder, giving her a little push towards the door. Kari was coming over today. It would be the first time we would properly spend some time with her without being interrupted. I had told Hamish that on pain of death, he was not to disturb us today unless it was a case of life and death. We knew Kari was seeing Doctor Wainwright before she came here, which only added to Merida's excitement. I hadn't seen her so excited about babies since we had lost little Laire. Don't get me wrong, she was always the model Luna and Queen when she met new pups, but I could always feel her despondency through our bond. But now that we had Kari in our lives, which brought our little pup back to us in a way, she was like a child waiti
Mature contentGrant's POVI walked into our suite at our pack house to find Kari sprawled on the floor. She was now nearly three months pregnant, and she was big. The pups were growing well, and the doctor was happy with their progress, but Kari, not so much. They were playing havoc on her back, ankles and bladder. I looked down at her with a chuckle."You OK down there?" I asked."Pfft." She said, blowing her fringe from her eyes before muttering. "I am stuck."I laughed before getting down on my knees at her head. I leaned down and kissed her lips. She groaned as I smelt her arousal start to fill the room. The other issue she had was her sex drive had become phenomenal and the slightest kiss for me set her off. Not that Zeus and I were complaining. Wolves had a high sex drive anyway, but this was next level, and we spent a lot of time with her face bright red in embarrassment and her family laughing at her. The Queen had explained it was the Royal blood in her, it made her more in
Kari's POV.Grant led me to the private jet that came with the post of Regional Alpha and Luna. He helped me up the steps and I was out of breath. We stopped for a moment so I could catch my breath. These last few weeks, Grant has been amazing. I felt guilty about the amount he had needed to do for me. When I got stuck on the floor this morning, I couldn't bring myself to disturb him, mostly because I was so embarrassed at myself for getting myself into this position. He led me onto the plane and helped me onto a seat. He did the belt up around my large girth and I settled back with a sigh as I watched all our friends and family come on board."So where are we going?" I asked."Not telling you," Grant said, sitting on the seat next to me. A big grin spread across his face. I ran a hand over my stomach as I saw Marissa come on board looking nervous with her pup in her arms. I beckoned her over to sit opposite us. His mate was one of the warriors on my protection team who were spread ou
Grant's POVIt was good to see how excited Kari was about seeing her family. I smiled as I watched her say hello to everyone, Heather bouncing happily in my arms. Suddenly, I felt something wet on my leg."Well, s.hit." I heard my mate mutter. I looked at her and looked down and my eyes widened in shock as I realised what had happened."Well, Henri, I think you need to link the pack doctor." I heard Ingrid say. "Kari?""Grant," I heard Reuben say as I stood there shocked at what was. Suddenly, my senses came back to me, as I handed Heather over to Reuben and went to my mate. I took hold of her other arm as she bent over and scrunched her face, but not a sound escaped. I looked nervously between Ingrid and Henri. Henri's eyes were glazed over and Ingrid was talking to Kari. Even Zeus was lying with his head on his paws, his ears down and he was whimpering."Grant, can you help me get her upstairs?" Ingrid said and I looked at her, coming to my senses again, I felt utterly useless. I no
Kari's POV5 months later.I sat on the floor. Joshua was sitting in my lap chewing on the base of the palm of his hand. The other five were spread out on their play mats, Alistair Matthew and Julian were all sitting, pillows dotted around them in case they lost their balance, which didn't happen all that often. The three of them were growing faster than their two sisters and brother. Hela said it was because they were blessed by Selene. There were a few points where Matthew was crawling. I didn't doubt that in the next month or two, they would be on their feet. The girls lay next to each other under a mobile kicking their legs and swatting at the things hanging above them. I tried to spend a day with them once a week to make sure our bonds were strong, and if he could, Grant would join me."Uh ma," Joshua said, looking up at me. I smiled down at my little cherub as he reached fro my necklace that he loved to play with. Being the "runt of the litter," as Hela called him, he was more a
Grant's POVWhen the women came into our room, I knew what was coming. I felt my face pale. They couldn't give us more time with our pups? We stood and I see Kari's eyes glaze over, no doubt letting Olga know they needed to stay with the pups."Where is my Grandfather?" She asked Henriette and Paula."In his Office. We haven't told him yet," Paula said, taking back over from her wolf. "But we need to."Kari nodded. "Let me just see my pups before we go." She turned and walked down to the nursery. I smiled at the two women and follow my mate who was now leaning over the cot where the three boys were cuddled in a pup pile. We tried to put Joshua in with them, but Joshua never took, he was my little brooder of a boy, and although he latched on to the girls more, he preferred to be on his own when he slept. I watched as Kari kissed the heads of each of the pups and I did the same as they all soundly slept."We will still be here when they wake and when they sleep as long as we are here,"
KAri's POVI felt my cheeks heat up as everyone stared at me. Grant rubbed a hand on my back, calming me. I still wasn't a fan of attention.'Hela?' I asked her. She was lying in my mind, her head up and her tail flicking as she thought over the question.'It is possible, it has never been done, we are still homing in on all our powers.' She replied thoughtfully. 'It won't hurt to try it, if we do, the Moon Goddess has given us the Power to command everyone, she is the only one who can do that.'"What does Hela have to say?" Grant asked,"She isn't sure, she said if we can, it is a power that only the Moon Goddess holds," I explained. "She said it doesn't hurt to try, the least that would happen is I look like a total plank if it doesn't work."I heard Chloe snort. "No change there." She muttered with a grin."Looks like we need to make a trip to the dungeons then," The King said thoughtfully. I could tell he was thinking something."What is it?""There is a legend." He mused as he wa
