Chapter 209

There’s silence and my guess is that Damien is shaking his head.

There are only a few things that Jenson actually cares about. One, his position in the pack. Two, getting laid. Three, stirring up crap when he doesn’t need to. And finally four, his sister. How they were so different was beyond me.

My hand pauses on the door, seconds from knocking when the door is opened. Dane stares at me with his beautiful crimson eyes, concerned etched in his face.

“Is it true?” I whisper as the dull ache grows in the pit of my stomach

Damien frowns, “We don’t know who she is. We don’t know if it means anything that she is with Jenson. We don’t know if she is aware of you.”

I nod my head as the pain spreads to my lower spine. I grit my teeth, trying to ignore it. I knew Dane could feel it this time. He pulls me around, pressing his warmth into my back. Cupping the underside of my bump with his large hands, he lifts a little. The relief is beyond amazing, especially when your back constantly aches.

I feel the gush, soaking my underwear and trickling down my leg.

“Dane.” I murmur. “They’re coming.”

There’s panic and excitement as Dane helps me into his office. He was the excited one, I couldn’t get excited. Raven had said I had more than a month left.

“It’s too early.” I’m almost crying

“Rumour has it, Lycan babies grow quicker.” Damien mutters in between calling for Raven.

She appears with Dorothy and Damien swoops her up into his arms. “You are not old enough to see this.”

“She’s having a baby?” Dorothy asks

“She’s having two.” He tells her as he hurries her out of sight

I stare in amazement at both of my sons. Wrapped up tightly in their blankets and propped up on a pillow on my lap.

The first born was a miniature Dane, crimson eyes and all. The second born had blue eyes like me. But what I’m hit with is overwhelming love. My heart literally feels like it’s going to explode. Why hadn’t my own parents felt that? Instead they had felt the need to bind me. Dane was still sat behind me. His legs either side of mine from helping me give birth. He kisses my cheek, not caring that I was a sweaty mess. “You did brilliantly.”

“Are you happy?” I whisper. I knew how much he wanted an heir and now he had two.

He runs a finger softly over each of the boys faces, marvelling at his own sons. “Perfect.”

I could feel his grin without looking at him. His happiness was exploding from him too.

Raven checks each of the boys over, giving them the all clear. “Damien was right. They do appear to be fully developed pups.” She hands the eldest back to me. He stirs but stays asleep.

“Do you have names?”

My eyes widen as I stare at Dane, names were not even something I had thought about. Why hadn’t I thought about our pups needing names?

Dane kisses me again, “There’s plenty of time.”

Everyone wanted to meet them. The first few days passed in a blur as the pack came one by one to pay their respects and honestly, it was exhausting. Dane assured me that it is common practice. There are new heirs. Heirs that have been long awaited and everyone wanted to see the pack’s future.

I look over at Dane as Damien escorts another pack member out of the office. He was cradling our eldest, Logan. “Please tell me that’s everyone.” I was more than exhausted, twins weren’t easy.

Dane kept offering to bring a nanny in, but I refused. I wasn’t having kids and then letting someone else raise them.

My eyes drift down to a wriggly Evrin. He was already trying to get himself in position for a feed.

Dane loves watching me feed the twins, telling me that he finds it mesmerising. I knew what it really was. He was desperate to have me after I had refused him for so long.

I smile at him, enjoying the happiness that I hadn’t felt in so long. Correction. I don’t think I have ever felt this happy, ever. It was a world away from where I came from.
