PHOBOS KING OF BEASTS CH 50: Epilogue Part II: My Phobos

Phobos moves at the speed of lightning to swiftly snatch the blanket from the opposite couch and shield me with it from head to toe. His palm settles against the back of my head and he forces me into his neck obscuring the entirety of my half-naked quivering being from view.

"Mine!" My male snarls furiously flashing his canines at our guests and I gently punch his chest cautioning him to restrain his Alpha pheromones that are intensely spilling out of his pores to permeate the air.

After a few seconds of awkward pin-drop stillness, I peek through the blanket at Deimos who has his apologetic eyes adhered to the roof above him whilst he has his palm clamped over Kal's eyes screening his sight. "Let me see, papa! I want to see them wrestling." Kal whines struggling under his father's grip to be set free. Wrestling?

"What did I tell you, Lumina?" Deimos barks with annoyance not moving an inch while endeavouring to hold onto the little one who is resisting his tight hold.

"Well I-I.." Lumina fumbles around with her words not really sure what to say as she gapes speechlessly at me and my cheeks redden even more.

"I told you he would be eating!"

"I just wanted to surprise them. It is his birthday, Deimos."

"And you have once more put me in an uneasy position as you always do." He retorts accompanied by a resonant growl his displeasure with the situation shown apparently for everyone to see.

"Oh please, this is not entirely my fault Kal wanted this as well, didn't you Kal? And this is not embarrassing at all we are family!" Lumina speaks peering down at her young male almost begging him with her eyes to take half the blame for this so they both can deal with Deimos's wrath.

"Papa let go of me! I want to see uncle Phobos wrestling!" Kal annoyedly stomps his feet scratching at Deimos's palm that never once slackens keeping the pup bolted in his position.

"Of course rudely barging into my brother's house without prior notice only to encounter him fucking his female is not uncomfortable at all."

"You will not use that word in front of our pups or you will sleep on the goddamn couch tonight."

"I dare you." He bares his teeth at her only for her to do the same at him, she will not back down with this issue. Sometimes they resemble a pair of pups to me I must say I find their bond very adorable.

"Enough!" Phobos's voice thunders out from his chest to reverberate around the living room making our windows rattle with fierceness and the four of them including the tiny female resting on Lumina's shoulder stiffen. Goddess, they brought along their female I have been waiting forever to meet her. "I would like the four of you to give us your backs so we can cover ourselves and then we can all say our greetings."

"I apologize for this, brother. This was completely Lumina's idea so if you wish to hold any wolf accountable do so with her." There is an underlying causality in the tone of his voice as he whirls around forcing an aggravated Kal to move with him.

"You know what? Leave you foolish male see if I care. I shall stay here and celebrate with our family for all you have done today is go against my wishes." Lumina puts distance between them staring straight outside the door whilst she rocks her female who is showing signs of restlessness. She feels the tension surrounding her parents.

"Are you being serious right now? I went against your wishes? No, you went against my wishes!"

"The couch it is then! Don't you dare come inside our room tonight!"

"Theia." Phobos's soothing voice beckons me tuning out Deimos's and Lumina's bickering making it fade in the background as he peers down at me with a benign smile across his face. "You can come out of your den now, my sunflower." His eyes twinkle and I giggle faintly overwhelmed but quite amused by this situation just like him.

My male picks up my blouse and my pants that he had tossed over onto the floor previously and neatens them over his knee. "Lift your arms." He commands and I do as he says and he immediately begins to dress me.

"I reckon it was Lumina's idea to surprise us."

"Indeed. My brother is mortified did you see the hue of red on his cheeks?" A throaty chuckle escapes his lips as he buttons up my blouse concealing my flesh from sight. 

"I did! I think it is because of you definitely not me." I laugh and his smile widens as he sets me on my feet and draws up my pants while I take support from his shoulders. Phobos dresses me most of the time ever since I got pregnant with the twins as I cannot bend down a lot.

"I see that you are very happy." 

"I am. I have missed them very much, have you not?"

"I have too, Drahá. Now stay here with them I shall get dressed and bring Tadeas out alright?" I give him a curt nod of acceptance as he leans down to gift a loving kiss against my cheek only to whirl around on his heels and quietly stroll towards our bedroom.

"You can turn around now," I say making the both of them cease their quarrel and spin around to encounter my merry blues. Deimos and Lumina look apologetic and it troubles me there is no need for them to feel so. I am pleased they are here. "How about a redo of your marvellous entrance?" I tease Lumina.

"Surprise!" She squeals and I laugh as she scurries forward to drag me into a tight embrace and I inhale her scent along with the pup with stunning auburn hair whom she carries in her arms. 

"I have missed you." I declare as she places her forehead against mine, her manner of greeting her females. 

"And so have I very much and to be honest this is why I thought I could surprise you today. I apologize if I made things uncomfortable for you."

"Oh, not at all you have made me very happy with your visit. Please come sit and Deimos you can let go of Kal now." I say as Deimos ultimately frees his male who races straight ahead towards the couch along with Lumina who follows closely behind.

"Mama I am hungry!" Kal whines leaping upon the couch playfully whilst his inquisitive eyes take in our new home. It is his first time here yet he acts as though he has been here several times before. I like that from Kal he is not the introverted kind of pup like my Tadeas.

"You just ate on the flight you beast." Lumina scolds as she passes her weary female to Deimos who has his arms open to receive her. Elena, that is her name I still remember Lumina's urgent call to me after she birthed her just to inform Phobos and me of the name they gave her, she is a special little thing. Very precious. 

"What do you want Kal?"

"Ice cream!" He pumps his fist into the air earning a sonorous reprimanding growl from his father who shakes his head in disapproval.

"Ice cream is not food," Deimos states.

"Papa please."

"Speak to your mother, this conversation is over."

"You cannot have ice cream Kal, anything else but that or I shall make uncle Ragon never buy you any again," Lumina says pointing her finger at him in warning while Kal's eyes enlarge to her threat as his lower lip begins to wobble accompanied by a fresh set of tears that brim in his exquisite emeralds which resemble Deimos's in every way.

"I possess something as sweet as ice cream in my kitchen, would you like a slice of strawberry pie Kal?"

"Strawberry?" He asks sniffling as he glances up at me from beneath his lust watery lashes. I just want to eat this male up, goodness he is adorable.

"Yes, strawberry. I heard you enjoy the fruit."

"I do." He nods eagerly the light that vanished once more coming alive in his greens. It is effortless to please him I assume he loves food, especially dishes that are sweet. His female shall have no difficulty with soothing his storms in the future for all she needs to do is bake. 

"Well, I shall go get one for you so you can fill that tiny belly of yours." I coo.

"You spoil him too much, he is already spoilt you just make it worse." Deimos chuckles as I shoot him a glare.

"He is like my male, you know this. And he is the firstborn in our family Deimos he was born to be spoilt just like the other pups born into our family." I state with a shrug of my shoulders while sauntering into the kitchen with Lumina hot on my heels.

"He does not eat much just a small slice would do I do not wish to take from what you made for your male's birthday."

"Nonsense, we shall all share it. I make the best pie you know." I declare proudly with an exaggerated puff of my chest that has her chortle as she leans against the kitchen counter keenly scrutinising me as I cut a small slice from the pie for her male. I will smear some leftover whisked cream on top of it will be a nice little extra treat for him. 

"I am elated that the lingerie I gifted you worked well with your male but I must say I was quite amazed to see that to see that he did not rip it apart."

"He certainly would have if you had come a little later, but I am glad he did not do so. I really liked myself in it you know?"

"And that is why I purchased it for you. Sometimes we just need to look good for ourselves not just to always please our males." She smiles. 

"I stand with you on that."

"How are the little beasts of yours doing, no more morning sickness?"

"Thankfully no. I can keep food in my stomach very well these days I did put on a little weight as well. But each time I get a little upset about it Phobos is always there by my side to kiss away my insecurities."

"And how are things between Phobos and you now?" I freeze in my spot and gradually turn my head towards her my soul singing my heart throbbing beneath unable to contain the unfathomable love I possess for that male. The seed of love and friendship he planted in me when I was a pup has evolved into an enormous tree one that provides shade to my soul every day.

"Beautiful," I whisper and her smile broadens as she circles her arms around my neck once more pulling me into a warm hug.

"I am so very happy for you, Theia."

"I am very happy too," I murmur while relishing in the warmth of her being that encompasses me. Something about her presence never fails to bring forth a sense of belonging and serenity within me.

"Mama!" Kal whines once more living room urging her to bring him his meal and Lumina flashes her teeth irritably in his direction. 

"Goddess I do not know where this male gets his impatience from most likely from his father." She grits out as she accepts the plate with a grateful nod and strolls out into the living room as I accompany her.

As soon as we enter through the arch I discover Phobos carrying a yawning Tadeas in his arms as he steps towards us. Deimos and Lumina instantly freeze in their spots observing our male with broad curious eyes and so does Kal as he cheerfully munches on his slice of pie. "Say hello Tadeas," Phobos murmurs tenderly peering down at him encouraging him to do so only for our little one to turn around and shove his face into his father's neck earning a gruff chuckle from Deimos.

"He is very shy and it takes time for him to warm up to new wolves. Put him down, Phobos he can walk around and get used to their presence."

My mate slowly lowers him despite his whines of protest and gently nudges him by his back urging him to go on but Tadeas races back to stand behind his father and take shelter from his long legs that manage to fully cover him from us only to take wary peeks at the four of them. Deimos stands up from the couch taking his female with him to squat down by Phobos's legs which has my male visibly flinch and grip onto the material of his father's jeans seeking protection.

"Tadeas, look who I have in my arms." His voice is palliative almost like a beckoning whisper that has my pup once more peek out from behind Phobos to stare at the now awake Elena who is gaping at him too. They are curious about each other, this is their first meeting. "This is your cousin, her name is Elena."

Elena instantly opens her mouth to deliver a wide toothless grin only to begin babbling incomprehensible words that have Phobos and I laugh aloud. Tadeas cautiously takes a step forward keeping his eyes on the giggling pup who seems thrilled to meet him, they are of similar age after all with only a small gap. "Give me your hand." Deimos offers his palm to his nephew who narrows his eyes at him, he does not trust him yet and Deimos understands this. He immediately plunges his hand inside his pocket to retrieve a small candy wrapped with a glossy foil that has my male's eyes twinkle excitedly, he adores items that glitter. "Do you want it?"

Tadeas nods eagerly to his uncle's question which has Deimos's smile widen further. "Then give me your hand." I kneel beside him and he immediately rushes towards my heat clutching my blouse like his life depends on it as he stares up at me with teary eyes begging me to take the candy on his behalf. Tadeas does not talk much he only says a few words now and then but overall he is just a quiet timid male, he prefers to keep to himself and shows his emotions through actions.

"It is all right Tadeas! Oh my goodness look how shiny that candy is, I wish I could have it but uncle Deimos only wants to give it to you so you need to take it from him." I coo and my words have him peer back at the candy once again his eyes glistening with want, this male of mine is extremely tenacious like his father and by the end of the day he always gets what he wants.

"If you take it I will let you meet Elena too," Deimos adds another prize to his offer.

"Go on." I compel him peeking over my shoulder to catch Lumina videotaping all this on her phone her eyes drowning with adoration. I shall tell her to send me a copy later on.

Elena is keen to meet Tadeas for she has her tiny hands reaching for him as though asking him to carry her and my male takes another step forward his alert globes swinging back and forth from Deimos to his female. His uncle presses the candy into Elena's palm forcing my little beast to seek it from her instead. This way he gets the candy as well as meets his cousin for the first time.

He inches closer waddling further towards her until he stands right in front of them. When he risks it to take the candy from her Deimos grasps him around his waist crushing him to his broad toned chest only to pick him up fast while rising to stand on his feet. Tadeas begins to let out loud frightened whimpers while struggling against his uncle's chest uncomfortable with the entire scenario but Deimos does not yield to him rather angles his neck to the side forcing the screeching pup to inhale his scent.

It takes a few minutes for him to relax in his arms, Deimos's patience enabling them to get used to each other and it eventually happens for Tadeas slowly leans down to plant his cheek over his uncle's shoulder and smell his new scent. "There we go!" Deimos laughs as Lumina squeals with joy rushing from behind me to go stand next to her male.

"Look how adorable he is. His blue eyes are truly piercing are they not? I was mesmerized when I first saw him." Lumina gushes.

"Indeed they are, he has obtained them from Phobos. His were this light when he was younger as well but it usually grows darker over the years." Deimos replies as he nudges the tip of his nose into Tadeas's locks.

I look towards Elena who has her gorgeous grey eyes adhered to Tadeas and I cannot help but want to meet her this way too. "Would you mind if I introduced myself to your female?" My request has Deimos and Lumina divert their attention to me as they consider it. It will be a similar process I will need to lure her to me and then catch her off guard so she is compelled to smell my scent.

"Of course, I apologize we should have done that first. This is your first time seeing her after all." Lumina murmurs as she takes a fleeting glance at her female. I kneel in front of Deimos with my mate's assistance and smile nervously at their female my mind coming up with tactics I could use to draw her towards me. I wonder if she will like being in my arms.

"There is no need for all that with this monster." Deimos chortles as he slightly slants down towards me. "Open your arms, Theia." He utters and I am prompt to do so opening them wide as he suggested. Elena coolly studies me and my current position for a few seconds only to flash me that signature grin and lunge for me with all her might completely catching me by surprise. 

She tumbles into my heat and I clutch onto her with broad eyes as she squeezes the front buttons of my blouse and lets out a shrill cry of contentedness. "Elena loves meeting new wolves she is highly...energetic," Lumina mutters beneath her breath followed by a hushed sigh of weariness.

"She is a little monster. The trouble she often gives us cannot compare to her brother." Deimos adds.

"A little monster? I do not really think so. Look at how cute you are. Your hair is beautiful, Elena." I coo as she captures a loose strand of my locks scanning it with puzzlement. "You like the colour of my hair? Well, it is much lighter than yours I suppose." She then snares my necklace and tugs at it like Tadeas does sometimes the pups tend to find the leaf inside the pendant quite fascinating due to contrasting colours. "Uncle Phobos gave this to me when I was ten. Do you like it?" I kiss his forehead and she is brisk to nuzzle into my warmth while rubbing herself all over me.

"She likes you." Lumina giggles.

"Phobos." I turn to glimpse at the towering male who has been wordlessly watching everything take place from behind me. I frown when I meet my eyes with his that gaze down at Elena and me with so much longing that it has my heart ache. "Why are you looking at me like that you silly male?"

He does not answer me but merely looks from me to Elena and then back to me which gives me my answer. I wave him down and he pays heed to my gesture quickly squatting beside me to peek at the little one from over my shoulder being cautious with his actions for he does not wish to scare her. "Do you not see me pregnant with two of your pups?" I ask him cradling his face with my left palm as he nuzzles into the tender flesh while locking his eyes relishing in the emotions I arouse within him.

"What if they both are males?" He asks his eyes downcast a glimmer of sadness overtaking his features that rattles my heart, he is a bit apprehensive I see this. Having a female is something he really desires and I want to give him that. 

"Then we can just try again." My tone is salacious that has him growl playfully at me only to bend down and nip my cheek affectionately. 

"As soon as they are born?" His eyes sparkle as I narrow mine with pretend fury.

"Give me a break you beast." I smack his chest with my fist that has him toss his head back to let through a rich vibrant laugh. Always teasing me this stupid male of mine. 

"Elena." He whispers her name with a keen softness accompanied by a gentle smile on his face as he leans into my warmth positioning the side of his head against mine as he grasps onto a few strands of her locks feeling the silkiness between his fingers. She startles when he calls her name her broad eyes veering to gape at him and his smile deepens. 

The pup observes him with a tilt of her head as though she is bewildered by how he looks yet after a few seconds pass of them silently staring at each other she giggles and makes grabby hands at him. "Papa!" Elena squeals lunging for Phobos's heat demanding to be carried as all of us present in the room keep our eyes latched on her with questioning baffled by her antics for we hadn't expected it. 

"Did that little monster of mine just call my brother papa?" Deimos growls his lips curling upward to expose his teeth with displeasure. 

"It is assumably because you both have similar features. You are brothers, after all, do not fret Deimos she will learn to differentiate soon." I try to suppress his rising storm but he has his narrowed emeralds adhered to his female who is mounting a dumbstruck Phobos like he is a tree which has me laugh aloud. 

Phobos gives in to her demands and swiftly rises to stand on his feet only to bend down and pick up the eager female who looks so tiny in his arms. "Up up." She bounces in his hold seeking to climb him even further and he gives her parents a look of puzzlement. 

"She wants to sit on your shoulders." Lumina chimes in and my male is agile to do so. As soon as he positions her upon his shoulders she screeches with delight while cheerily swinging her legs. My male strolls around the room with Elena sitting upon him and she waves at all of us with excitement for she is probably seeing a new world with that height. 

"I see your male wishes for a female too." Lumina smiles as she treads forward with Tadeas in her arms. He is comfortable being with Lumina he feels tranquil which is quite unusual. He does not like being touched by foreign wolves, especially by females he does not know or recognise. 

"Yes, he has been wanting one ever since Tadeas was born."

"Just like Deimos."

"Deimos too?" 

"Oh, goddess yes. It hadn't even been a proper few months since I birthed Kal and that ridiculous male of mine gaped at every female pup with so much yearning. I suppose the brothers are the same when it comes to this."

"How is Deimos with Elena?" I ask curiously.

"Very...gentle. He is much more patient with her than he is with Kal though she is excessively naughty. He spoils her a lot too, you should see her princess room. There is nothing that female does not have, anything she wants all she needs to say is 'papa' and he would get it for her. Those two pups are his whole world."

"Does he want more?"

"Not really, Deimos is content with what we have. And I as well feel my hands are full most of the time. I do not think we will have any more at least planned ones. What about you both?" 

"I think we will have more. Phobos wants a big family and so do I." 

"Wow, so I will be an aunt to many more. This thrills me." Lumina sways on her feet swinging Tadeas as he lays his head on her chest once more sucking his thumb indicating to me that he is at ease. 

"Phobos and I were actually discussing something today...about the castle."

"What about the castle?"

"Apparently the east wing belongs to him and he hadn't claimed it before but I-I..." How do I tell her this without coming out as possessive or rude?

"You want to claim it now because of the memories you have there." She finishes for me her glamorous greys rooting me to my spot with a knowing gaze. 

"Yes. There are vacant rooms there and Phobos said we could make it our second home. I apologize I do not really wish to intrude that way and take a part of your home but I thought it would be a nice way for our families to bond and for our pups to forge closer friendships." 

"Oh please, I think I would be the first to stand in line to welcome you there I would love to have you around. Deimos had narrated the entire story of how close Phobos and you were and how our lands hold so much significance to you. We are family you are always welcome. As for the vacant rooms, we can decorate them together if you wish for it. I have these existing stunning designs stored I can show them to you." Tears brim in my eyes at her kindness, she is always so understanding of my needs and wishes. 

"Thank you so much," I murmur my voice barely a whisper as I swallow the lump behind my throat that diminishes my sudden need to cry.

"No need to thank me, Theia. I-" Her sentence is cut short as her male's brawny arms girdle around her slender waist from behind to draw her to his chest. She is brisk to tilt her head to the side and bare her canines at him warning him to let her go but he does not pay heed to her merely tightens his hold on her knowing she will not fight him as Tadeas is relaxing in her arms.

"Is my female still upset with me?" He mumbles into her hair his voice velvety and soothing. 

"I do not wish to speak with you." She turns her attention back to me but I witness how his lips slope downward, I can almost notice the droop of his ears and his pout.

"Why?"

"Because all you did since we got on that jet was complain and after we got here you were enough kind to humiliate me like that." 

"I do not like disturbing my brother unless absolutely needed."

"I wanted to spend time with my family, was that so bad? It does not matter for next time I shall come alone without you."

"Lumina. Do you truly mean this?" He questions her with wounded eyes that Lumina does not meet on purpose.

"You always do this, Deimos. 

"I am sorry." His lips press against the side of her head as he keeps his vivid greens glued to her face studying her shift in feelings. "I will stand by you always, you know this. I will never do it again so do not be upset with me, my female." 

I see the way her fight perishes the way her body just dissolves into him to his apology as he lovingly nuzzles her neck. "Are you aware of your mistake of rudely barging into their house like that despite my persistent warnings?"

"Yes." She nods her greys pivoting to peer at the floor with subtle shame. 

"Where is my apology?"

"I am sorry." She utters with no hesitance which has her male smile softly down at her. Deimos grasps her jaw and angles her face to the side to meet his as he delicately strokes her cheekbone with his thumb. 

Leaning down he plants a doting kiss against her lips his eyes never leaving hers. "I love you." She once more gives him a terse nod and he lifts his eyebrow in question. 

With a muted sigh, she stands on her tiptoes to sink her lips onto his. "I love you too." 

"Are we good?" 

"Yes, we are good Deimos." She smiles and he finally lets go of her diverting his attention to me. 

"I apologize for interrupting your conversation." He says with a sharp nod of apology. This male and his manners he was always like this even when was a pup.

"Not at all." 

"Lumina." My moon blessed's unsettled voice peeks into our conversation as we all turn to regard him. Elena sits upon his shoulder sobbing which has Lumina sigh and set Tadeas down on his feet.

"I think she needs to be changed. Her diaper is presumably full." Phobos gives her a brusque nod of understanding and directly passes the tearful pup to her mother. 

"You can take her into the bathroom, it is in that corner over there." I point towards the door as Lumina takes a large pink coloured bag with white polka dots on it and wanders to the washroom while attempting to quieten the little one on her way there. 

"Cake!" Kal squeaks avidly eyeing the squashed lemon cake that sits haughtily upon the table opposite the couch. "Can I have some?" 

"No, you cannot," Phobos replies his eyes serious as he stares down at the devilish male whilst crossing his arms across his chest wanting to intimidate the little one.

"Why not?"

"Because it was made for me."

"Well, you did not eat it so I will." The pup challenges fearlessly that has his uncle narrow his eyes at him in forewarning. He is getting aggravated with Kal's blatant defiance and that he dares to touch something that belongs to him.

"I am going to eat it." 

"No, I am going to eat it." Kal counterattacks.

Before Kal could pounce on the cake my mate swoops in and picks it up taking it away from the pup's path. "No!" The tiny male whines jutting his lower lip out in a bitter pout hoping it would make his uncle yield to him. 

"This cake is mine."

"What are you going to do with it if you do not intend on eating it anyway?" 

"I am going to spread this all over your aunt's cun-" Before Phobos could conclude his sentence I clamp my palm upon his mouth shutting him up while warning him with broad terrified eyes. 

"Are you seriously going to speak that way to your nephew?" I yell in a whisper.

"It is my cake baked by my female for my birthday," Phobos growls attaining a deep chortle from his brother. 

"Always possessive of things that belong to you, you never change." Deimos laughs at him making a suggestive smirk bloom on my mate's face in return as he strides towards the kitchen to save his cake. 

"Deimos, why don't you head outside so Kal can play. The fence around the cottage is quite spacious he has a lot of space to freely run around." 

"What do you think Kal? Want to play catch with papa?" Deimos rolls up the sleeves of his shirt already preparing himself for the game of chase and whirls around to peer at his male who cannot contain his keenness for he is already on his feet gazing straight at the door. 

"Yes!" The pup pumps his fist into the air and dashes towards the main door at full speed. "Papa open." He hollers leaping on the heels of his feet endeavouring to reach the doorknob he is still too short to reach it but he will be able to soon enough. As soon as Deimos unlocks it he speeds out into the open land heading as farther as he can go away from the cabin. 

"Remember Kal, if I catch you no ice cream for a week." Deimos declares jogging after him trying to lower his pace enabling his male to have some leeway.

"No! Papa please."

"Then run faster, show me how fast you can go." As I watch the two males sprinting around the grass area far on the opposite side I giggle stepping outside the door wanting to join them too. I cannot run but I can walk or perhaps I shall sit by one of those trees and watch them.

"Tadeas! Come outside." I yell into the cottage as I head towards the steps only to receive no answer from him. Taking a step down supporting my belly with my palms I turn my head to regard inside our home once more. "Tadeas," I call out again. Where is this male, is he in the bathroom with Lumina or in the kitchen with his father? 

Keeping my eyes glued to the entrance waiting for my little beast to come racing through I move to take another step down only to trip on it and plunge straight to the ground. A fearsome scream exits my throat as I crumple onto the floor on my knees and palms, the rhythms of my heart quicken as I squeeze my belly tightly hyperventilating as I try to calm down. That was close I was not paying attention. 

As I wobble around to sit upon the grass floor my moon blessed barges out the door his anxious blues on high alert as he surveys our surroundings frantically hunting for me. When his eyes find mine they enlarge a sense of concern and dread consuming him as he bolts towards me. 

"Theia!" He bellows plunging to his knees in front of me rapidly scrutinising my flesh from head to toe with nervousness that confines him. 

"I am all right," I whisper wanting to ease his storm but it only rages further. 

"You are bleeding." He states while securing his palm beneath my right knee to lift it nearer to his face as I lean back down and carry the weight of my upper body on my elbows allowing him to check my injury.

"It is not a big issue I just stumbled on the last step, I was careless I know I was keeping my eyes behind for Tadeas."

"Drahá!" He condemns my actions his voice bellowing as I whimper out to his scolding. 

"I am sorry, it will not happen again. I am fine the pups are fine." 

He raises my knee closer to his face and meets it halfway to connect his mouth with my bleeding flesh his tongue darting out to lap up my fresh wound. "Phobos." I wheeze breathlessly as he continues to smear his saliva all over it his hold around my ankle tautening with each passing second as I stay still waiting for him to finish. 

"You know what this reminded me of?" I ask as he lets go of me inspecting my wound to see if it has fully healed or if he needs to lick it more.

"What?"

"Of the first time when I met you at the castle gardens when I was five. You mended my wound the same way." I smile reminiscing on the heartwarming memories I treasure very much. 

"Oh yes, I remember such a tiny little thing you were. Truthfully, you were the most beautiful pup I had ever set eyes upon and miraculously you ended up being mine. All mine." He inches closer to my lips his fingers tickling my sides as I let out a series of lively giggles.

"Oh really? Perhaps I was the most beautiful pup during that time but I wonder who was the most beautiful juvenile to you then?" 

"Never. I never laid eyes on anyone else but you. Always you, forever you."

"How am I to trust you?" I ask defiantly jutting my chin out only for him to nip at it with his teeth in punishment. 

"I will show it to you then, to whom I always belonged to whom I still belong to."

"And how will you do so?" My question has him mischievously seize my right wrist and steer it towards his flesh only to compel it underneath his shirt and lay it bare against his firm muscled belly.

"With my sexy body and in your own words, my humungous cock."

"You horny male!" I laugh while struggling against him but he does not ease his hold so he can force my palm to glide further down his sizzling heat so I can get a feel of what lies between his legs.

My eyes swiftly divert to Tadeas who toddles out the front door towards the steps his blues beaming as soon as he locates his father and me. "No! Phobos our male," I scream out as the little one blindly nears the stairs but before he could lose his balance my mate is prompt to lunge for him and capture him in his arms. 

I let out a sigh of relief as he sets our little beast over my thighs and I lie back down holding him around his tiny waist. "You both seem to enjoy giving me heart attacks, this way I shall meet the moon much earlier," Phobos complains while brushing Tadeas's locks with his fingers seeking to detangle any knots along the way. 

I snarl unveiling my teeth at him displaying my dislike of his words and he does the same with me not pleased with my carelessness earlier on. Tadeas keenly observes his father with interested eyes only to turn back towards me and curl his lips just to flash his toothless gums at me accompanied by a growl that he strives hard to get out of his chest. 

Phobos's eyes enlarge and so does mine yet within a matter of seconds both of us let out spurts of laughter from deep within our belly and Tadeas joins us giggling with excitement while clapping his hands. "That's my male. Do it again show mama you are upset." Phobos urges and Tadeas does it again this time with more fierceness and it has the both of us cackle in unison. 

"Tadeas, look at papa. You need to show more teeth like this see." Phobos directs him pointing his finger towards his mouth and our male attempts it again carefully learning and imitating each of his father's instructions.

I monitor both my males interact with each other but the totality of my awareness lies on my barbarian. He is such a good mate an amazing father as well and if someone had told me that this is the life I was going to have in the future I would not have believed it. This male has been strong beside me through every trial and tribulation has fought for our bond in countless ways, he has protected me, cared for me, loved me and has always put me first. Perhaps Phobos is not perfect in any way but to me, he is everything one would call utmost perfection. My perfect beast.

"Phobos," I whisper and he pauses conversing with his male to turn those luminous ocean blues towards me. "Promise me," I mutter and he frowns with confusion.

"Promise you what, Theia?"

"Promise me that you will forever be here by my side." His frown deepens yet he does not question me for he slants down towards where I am lying to set his forehead against mine as he lifts my wrist to brush his lips against my pulse. 

"I promise."

"Promise me you will never let me go."

"I promise."

"Promise me that you will love me and care for me and our family till the end of our days."

"I promise and I want you to trust me on these pledges I make to you for they shall never end up being another string of broken promises." He makes an eternal oath as his lips press against mine our souls merging to mould into one. 

"My soul is yours."

"And my soul is yours, my sunflower."

It does not matter to me how the king of beasts and I, his queen commenced our journey or the passage of fire and ice we burnt and froze through for one another. All that harbours significance to me is that I shall always be his Theia and this barbarian in front of me whom I adore with the fullness of my body, heart, mind and soul shall always be...my Phobos.

A/N: PLEASE READ!!

I would like to begin by declaring how immensely grateful I am to each and every one of you who has constantly been a part of Phobos and Theia's journey since the beginning. Thank you so so much for loving and supporting them. 

I really one day hope to see PHOBOS as a hardcover as well as an audiobook so we can feel Phobby baby and Theia come to life. 

I hope you enjoyed their story my females just as I enjoyed writing it. This has been an emotional ending for me and I hope to continue bringing you such stories now and in the future. So stay with me by my side my little wolves for because of you all, I am.

I truly adore you all my little wolves.

Happy reading,
Liz
