As Luca and I approach the training field, my family have gathered together and are chattering to each other. I’m sure they are wondering what the hell is going on with me. Archer is smiling like he has already figured everything out. He’s lucky I can’t shift or Zelda and I would kick his a**. “Yes, we would”, Zelda says, and I chuckle. When we come to stand in front of Ruby and my parents, Luca wraps his arm around me. Before they can say anything, I blurt it out. “I can’t do the pack run because I’m pregnant.” “I knew it” Archer says, pumping his fist in the air, and I shoot him a glare. “Well maybe you can actually win against Ruby in the run today since I’m not there” I say and stick out my tongue at him. “Some things will never change” my mother says. She pulls me into her arms. “I’m so happy for you and Luca. I’m so excited to have another grandpup”, my mother says. My father pulls me into his arms and lays a kiss on my forehead. “I don’t know what I did to deserve all this happiness but I’m grateful for it every day. You pups and your mother are my greatest gift.” I can feel the tears welling in my eyes. “I love you dad.” “I love you too, Jade.” He pulls back and takes Luca’s hand, pulling him into a hug.
My eyes meet Ruby’s and just as it has always been, we don’t need words. I wrap her in my arms and we just stand hugging each other. Our bond is strong as triplets but Ruby and I were inseparable as kids. She is my best friend and she always will be. She pulls back and the smile on her face is brilliant. “The next pack run you will run with us. This will always be your pack. I had better be the second call you make when you go into labor, just like we always promised.” I nod and she turns to Maverick. He takes her hand and they face the pack. “It’s time for the pack run. All pack members of shifting age are welcome to join.” They both strip and the pack follows suit. I’m sad that I won’t be there for the first time since I shifted into Zelda, but the reason I can’t makes up for it. They take off and their howls can be
heard in the distance. Strong arms wrap around my waist and the tingles push the little bit of sadness away. I turn in his arms and he presses his warm lips to mine. We stay like that for a long time before we finally pull apart. “Luca, I want to wait till they return before we leave. I also want to talk to my aunt before we head home. I won’t be long. I’m anxious to get home to see Luna.” He smiles and pecks my lips. “Whatever you want my queen.” I slap his arm and he chuckles. Luca is surrounded by my father and all my grandfathers. I smile knowing they are going to give him a hard time. I walk across the field where my mother is standing with Tabby, Grandma Fern and Grandma Sabrina. “You look beautiful Jade”, Tabby says and hugs me. “Thank you, you do too.”
My grandmothers talk about how happy they are about my pup and how great Luca is. “Based on the pup in your belly, I would say the king is treating you well”, Tabby says, and everyone looks at her. I swear this woman has no filter. The women around us laugh and I’m sure my face is a shade of red that would match a tomato. “What did I say something that wasn’t true?” I shake my head “no, no you didn’t. Tabby, you will never change.” “No need to change if your already awesome.” We all burst out laughing. We talk for a little while longer before we hear the sounds of paws hitting the ground. I turn to Tabby and she smiles. “What kind and how much do you need?” I laugh that she knows me so well. “I need at least two vials but four would be better.” She nods before she disappears. Ruby, Maverick, Archer, and Danica rejoin us. She wraps me in a hug. I’m so happy that Archer found her and they are having a pup too. Our pups will grow up together even if we don’t live in the same pack. Arms snake around my waist again. “You look tired my Queen, and we have an early appointment with the kingdom’s doctor. Are you ready to go home?” “Yes, I am Luca.” I kiss my family before I head over to Tabby. She hands me the vials and hugs me. William and Gwen join us and Tabby creates the portal for us to step through. The movement through the portal makes my stomach roll and I run to our room. I pray I make it before I empty my stomach on the floor.
Luca POV
After I make sure that Jade is alright, I head to Sherman and Brooklyn’s room to get Luna. I know we were only gone for a few hours, but I miss her. I still can’t believe we are going to have another hatchling. I’m so excited to have a hatchling with Jade, but I’m worried. I have no idea if there has ever been a dragon wolf hybrid. I hope the kingdom’s doctor can put my mind at ease. I have faith in the goddess, but I’m not sure if the hatchling will have one beast or two. “Who the hell are you calling a beast”, Sebastian says. “Nice of you to chime in.” “I’ve been basking in the knowledge that our mate will soon be round with our hatchling.” I laugh and shake my head. I knock on the door and when it opens Brooklyn is smiling. “Congratulations” she says in a whisper and I laugh. “I take it Jade told you about our big news.” “She did but I did not tell Sherman. She asked that I allow you to tell him.” Goddess, I love that woman. “Thank you.” She nods and I step inside. I move to the living room and Sherman is playing with Luna on the floor. “Hey, how did the ceremony go?” “It was great”, I say as I get down on the floor. Luna crawls over and gets into my lap. “I see I’m chopped liver now that your daddy is home.” I laugh and lay a kiss on Luna’s head.
I look back at Sherman with a huge smirk on my face. “Why are you smiling like that?” “I’m happy, I have the best mate and pups any man could ever have.” It takes him a second before his eyes finally get big. “Jade is having a hatchling.” I nod and he pulls me into a hug. “I’m so happy for you man. You both deserve to be happy and you have become a better man and king with her by your side.” “You are so right. Thank you for being the best friend and second in command I could ever wish for.” “Alright, give each other and smooch and then get back to your mate, Luca”, Brooklyn says and we both burst out laughing. I stand and put Luna on my hip. As I head for the door, I turn back to Sherman. “Don’t forget tomorrow afternoon, we will deal with those two a**holes in the cells.” “It will be a great pleasure, my king.” I roll my eyes and head out the door. I open the door to our room and my beautiful queen is lying on our bed. Her face lights up when she sees Luna. I hand her to Jade, who already has a bottle ready. I bend down and kiss Jade’s head. “I’m going to shower love.” She nods but she is more interested in our daughter than me. My heart is so full and I couldn’t be happier as I stare at my two girls. Once I’m showered, I head back out and they are both asleep. I put Luna in her crib before I slide
in next to this beautiful woman I’ve been blessed with. I focus on the silence of the room and that’s when I hear it. I lay my hand on her stomach and fall into a peaceful sleep.
Serina POV
Nicholas and I walk with Levi and Ella toward the training field. The king and queen are talking to Lake, Gabby, Ruby, and Maverick. I’m so glad that Ruby and Maverick have taken their rightful place. I loved being the Alpha with my mate and family, but it was time for us to step away and let the next generation make their mark. Nicholas and I made our decision last night and I pray that we have made the right one. “May we speak with all of you” I say and we head to the pack house. Once we are in the pack house, we head to one of the empty offices. I take a deep breath and I say a silent prayer to the goddess that she be with us in this decision. “Nicholas and I have decided to take you up on the offer to move to the werewolf kingdom as long as you understand that we can return to the pack anytime we see fit.” “Of course, you are not prisoners and you can return to your pack to visit or stay whenever you see fit. I would ask that if you do go for a visit, you allow us to send extra protection. The threat that we know of has been eliminated, but that doesn’t mean others aren’t out there that know of the prophecy”, the king says. “That is precisely why we have agreed to move to the kingdom.” He nods and before I can say anymore, Loreli screams, grabbing her stomach. The king looks panicked and he scoops her up, walking through a portal he created. “I guess all male wolves are the same when their mates have pups, basket cases.” We all laugh and Gabby walks over and hugs me. “This isn’t forever and this is your home no matter what happens.”
The Next Day
Luca POV
As we head to the hospital, the nerves flit around in my stomach. Jade squeezes my hand and I’m sure she can feel it through our bond. The doctor is waiting for us in the lobby. “Your majesty, it’s so good to
see you both.” He leads us to an exam room and once Jade is ready, he wheels in the ultrasound machine. “So, let’s get a look at our next royal hatchlings.” I notice Jade’s look of concern and I’m sure she has the same questions that I do. “Before we start, I wanted to ask you about that. Since we are of two different shifter backgrounds, what determines the child’s lineage.” “I can tell you, my king, that in other supernatural pairings it can go one of two ways. Either the dominant genes determine which shifter the offspring takes after or, if the genes are equal, the offspring is able to shift into both creatures. Either way, all your offspring will be hybrids.” I smile looking down at Jade and her face is more relaxed. He squeezes the bottle of gel on her belly. When he begins to move the wand, the room is filled with the sounds of a heartbeat that sounds strong. I see a tear roll down Jade’s cheek and I wipe it away with my thumb. “I’m so happy Luca.” I bend and kiss her forehead. “You and our children are my happiness.” “Well, it looks like the royal family is about to become a little bigger than you thought your majesty.” We both look at him as he turns the ultrasound machine toward us. As I study the screen, my eyes grow wide when I see two circles. “You are having twins, my queen.”
“They look so big. I can’t be that far along.” He chuckles “they are big because essentially you are both Alphas and hybrid pregnancies are always shorter.” “How much shorter?” “The queen is a month pregnant and the whole pregnancy will last about four months.” “We only have three months before the pups are here” Jade says a little panicked. “Thank you doctor” I say signaling for him to give us some time. “I will get your vitamins and some pictures.” He leaves and I turn to Jade. I clean her up and set her in my lap. “Love, I know your nervous but we can do anything together and we are surrounded by people who will help us. You are an amazing mother to Luna and these peanuts will be no different.” “Peanuts” she says, raising her eyebrows. “Well, I figure they are going to be both wolf and dragon, so we can’t call them pups or hatchlings.” She laughs and I love that sound. The nerves seem to fade away and she presses her warm lips to mine. When she pulls back, she smiles. “I think peanuts will work for now.”
