PHOBOS KING OF BEASTS CH 48: Vůdce's Prophecy

My trembling fingers plunge further into my male's lush lengthy locks yanking on them with a fierceness as my nails dig into his scalp extracting a throaty aroused grunt of pleasure from my male. His darkened bewitching blues pierce my own to deliver a look overfilled with raw carnal desire whilst his avid fingertips sink into the fragile flesh of my curvy waist holding me in position to arrest the rocking of my hips. 

"Oh, Phobos." I mewl out keeping my legs that dangle over his shoulders in place as he rapidly rams his filthy tongue deeper into my dripping cunt over and over again tasting my damp insides as well the tight rim of my hole until I struggle to breathe amid my lusty moans that rip past my throat. He is too good at this. 

He buries his face in my drenched pussy taking noisy slurps of my sweet nectar that erotically leaks out my vaginal opening barbarously eating me out and my back arches as my head bangs wildly against the kitchen cabinet. My puffy clit is gently gnawed on by his pointed teeth only for his mouth to return to take its seat and suck on the tiny bundle of nerves intensifying the pleasure I am receiving. 

Phobos is brisk to get off his knees and rise to his feet to stand in between my thighs while watching my bared bouncy breasts with filthy eyes, a passionate need to devour lingering within them. He slowly inserts his lean middle finger into my cunt and my eager walls are swift to clamp tightly around him shamelessly sucking his digit in as he begins to ruthlessly finger me my sticky fluid coating his skin. 

I try to meet his hard brutal thrusts in the middle raising my hips from the kitchen counter urging him to fuck me harder with his finger only to earn a sharp slap to my right breast in warning that causes me to whimper out and halt the ardent movements of my pelvis. 

"Stay still." He commands with a dominance that has me splutter out more of my liquid which sensually trickles down the side of his finger to coat his inner palm. 

"Phobos," I whine in protest studying his gigantic cock rigid and erect straining against his pants that he gives no regard to. The totality of his attention lies on me this moment, the pleasure is all mine to receive. A gift for sucking his cock numerous times last week.

His warm large palm roughly squeezes my tit as he bends down to gorge up my upright nipple whilst his canines nibble on the delicate nub as though he is truly feasting on my flesh. When he sucks each of my teats with a brutality that almost has me cum he pauses midway along with his relentless fucking not allowing me this rather waits patiently until the ripple that was leading me to rapture fades and then continues to thrust his finger into my parched cunt which demands frantically for more. He merely wishes to prolong this as much as he can.

"Lift your legs, Theia. I wish to see." Another curt order tumbles out of his alluring mouth and I am fleet to abide by it. There is no shyness that is present within me this moment just this desperate need to reach euphoria. Placing my heels on the edge of the counter I position myself in a way that my knees press against my breasts and my legs are spread wide apart highlighting my sodden hairless pussy to his dangerous globes that ravish them with an unfathomable lust.

My male groans hoarsely with his half hooded eyes as he keenly watches the way his finger is hungrily swallowed whole by my tight cunt all the way to his knuckle. "Your cunt was made for my fingers." He rasps whilst he inserts his forefinger to accompany the other and I squeal with delight to that delicious satisfying sensation of being filled up. He commences with slow but firm deep thrusts in and out stretching me from within. 

"Or your fingers were made for my cunt." I whisper feverishly eyeing him with flushed cheeks and dishevelled hair. The tips of his lips tilt upward to my words as he strives to reign in his amusement. Keeping our eyes locked he grips my left ankle to jerk my leg to his mouth his moist lips caress my calf all the way up to my quivering fluid-smeared inner thigh sampling my sweat coated flesh leaving a sizzling trail of his saliva behind marking me as his.

"Is that so?" He asks a hint of challenge in his sonorous voice carried through for me to detect.

"I am the one feeding, Phobos. You are merely the provider." I mutter as he raises his eyebrow knowing I have taken that challenge he offered. He takes a step rearward quickly unzipping his pants to expose his veined engorged cock that is dribbling precum from the swollen tip to my keen eyes. 

"Let us test that theory, Drahá." He growls flashing his teeth at me whilst lunging towards my heat only to seize my thighs spreading me apart as he rams into me in one fluid thrust that has me cry out at his mouthwatering savagery. Never provoke me, this is what he always warns me of but he must know that submission does not run in my blood anymore. 

He fists my hair and forces my face upward compelling me to meet his steamy eyes whilst he drives his pelvis into my hips smacking into my insatiable cunt with an inexpressible roughness resembling that of a carnivorous beast. My beast. 

"Tell me who is feeding on whom now?" He teases his plump lips brushing against mine swallowing my high-pitched whimpers and whines whilst I do the same with his hoarse groans and grunts. Mine, this male is all mine. 

His weighty balls slam harshly against my weeping cunt the deafening sounds of our bodies crashing against that other of our rough fucking reverberate through the walls of our new home as I encircle my legs tauter around his bulky waist my nails scraping down his muscular back whilst he bites into my mark drawing blood and I shudder in his embrace. He is voracious when it comes to ravishing me, his belly takes time to be full he will not stop until he is satisfied.  

 "Phobos I..I-"

"What do you want, my moonlight?"

"Make me cum." I plead guiding his naughty hand towards my needy pussy and he pays heed to my request for he begins to pinch and circle my bloated clit with an immense speed that all my senses are consumed by the feeling of my clit being played with. I want more, I need more. That savoury mix of pain and pleasure combining into one, that is what I prefer.  

I struggle against his chest driving him away by a few steps to give me space and his cock slips out my cunt not softening rather remains in position waiting to be gorged up again. He frowns with puzzlement for he does not understand my antics but he will soon enough. Hopping down to stand on my wobbly feet I settle my palms upon the counter and turn my back to him only to bend down and press my breasts against the cool texture. Rising my hips upward I jut out my bum swaying it side to side tantalizing the barbarian whose meal I halted halfway. 

"I know what it is you want from me but I will not give it to you until you say it out loud." He utters his scalding fingertips stroking my smooth fleshy ass cheeks. I keep quiet my cheeks burning to the point I find it unbearable I thought he would take the hint and just proceed but it is never that effortless with a male who adores teasing you, who adores witnessing your reactions to them. "Say it." He snarls heatedly into my ear while slapping my drenched labia folds with his wet cock not entering me merely offering me my meal that I will not be able to eat unless I give him what he demands.

"Spank me Phobos," I mutter drilling holes into the wall in front of me with my eyes unable to meet his searing gaze that is scorching my flesh.  

"What must I do, I do not punish unless you have done something to deserve such." He strokes my throbbing opening with the massive tip of his cock and I shift my sneaky hips rearward hoping to catch him off guard but he captures me instead keeping me still in place not letting me get some that easily. "Solutions, Theia. Give me a reason to spank you." 

Gritting my teeth I peer around the kitchen examining for something that would make me deserving of his sinful yet pleasureful punishment. Right beside me lies two expensive vessels that were a gift from one of the Alphas who is relatively close to Phobos, he had told me to keep them safe as to honour that male's kindness. I had intended to keep them in a safe place one where our mischievous little beast cannot reach. Without another thought, I grab one of the dishes and casually toss it to the ground gazing at it as it shatters across the timber floor into minute pieces. 

Pin drop silence follows the clamorous sound of breaking ceramic and I gradually turn back to glimpse at my dumbfounded male who witnessed everything I did. "I did not mean to do that, it was a mistake. Please do not punish me." My last words that were spewed out with a teasing suggestive tone have his mighty cock twitch his slightly wide eyes blackening into a thunderous storm as he studies me with destructive blues. 

When he places his palm over my right ass cheek I shiver with anticipation eager to receive the first spank. "You know your way with me now don't you?" He rasps as he positions his glans at my leaking entrance once more and this time I know I shall undergo an even more fierce fucking.

A matter of mere minutes is what it takes for me my being to tremble vigorously for my knees to buckle unable to carry the weight of my bursting release. Each of his wicked strikes upon my ass cheeks have me cry out with my body lunging forward as I clamp tightly around his cock and milk him dry amid his ferocious fucking. I pump his cock with my crushing pussy walls until I make sure I am fed with every last drop of his thick creamy seed. It is instantaneous the way his eyes collide with mine watching the way I ride those waves of sheer ecstasy with my bleary eyes and slightly open mouth. No wolf could ever possess the passion Phobos and I have for each other.

I open my mouth wider accepting his slimy tongue down my throat as he grasps my waist tighter and tugs me further into his boiling heat. I whine into his mouth as our lips make love to each other whilst his palms tenderly massage the plump globes of my ass relieving the stinging pain I feel from his merciless spanking.  

"Are you feeling discomfort? Forgive me I lost control of myself." His words are swallowed by my greedy mouth that ravishes his lips amid his talking. 

"I am fine, Phobos. I enjoyed that." I giggle aloud as his mischievous nose glides against the sweaty skin of my neck tickling me and I find myself enjoying his playfulness. 

"I enjoyed that too my female. Let me make love to you next time." He utters while affectionately kissing the top of my head.

"We can try." Phobos and I find it arduous to make love our attempts usually develop into passionate fucking where we both rip each other's clothes and bite into each other like starved beasts. He cannot stop himself and neither can I. My want for his flesh is too extreme and gentle lovemaking does not satisfy my belly much for though my heart feels full at the end of it my cunt and my body demands more from him. Something rougher, wilder.

"We must, it is important for us to adapt to making love. It is crucial for our relationship." Phobos strides towards the study room with me following close behind. I have a few things I wish to speak with him about.

"I do not mind you being rough with me, Phobos."

"I know this, your body has accustomed to my ways. But now that I have a little more control over my beast I wish to love your body in a more delicate way. Is this not what you also want, you had once asked why I was gentle with Moira and not you?" How does this male remember every single thing I ever said to him or asked him even when I do not?

"That was the past and I had my insecurities, it is different now."

"But I wish to love you this way too." He states whilst plopping down upon his chair peering over his work table that possesses several records that Drakho had prepared for him last night, negotiations with the closest packs for the winter hunt, monthly trades and so on.

"To treat my body as you would do so with glass?" I ask teasingly which has him flash his teeth at me obtaining a faint chuckle from me in return.

"You know what I mean." He mumbles as he carefully reads over the scribbles striving to understand what is written. I will admit Drakho has really bad handwriting to the point that it is quite hilarious. 

"I wish to speak with you on a few matters," I state as I take a step forward to sit upon the wooden chair in front of the table but freeze midway when Phobos shakes his head in objection. 

"That is not the seat for you, Theia. It is only meant for the trusted males I shall invite here for negotiations."

"Then where else am I supposed to sit?" I ask as he lowers the pencil upon the table to glimpse up at me. He leans back against his chair and parts his legs wide whilst offering me his palm from across the table for me to take.

"Come." One word from him has me surrender my hand to the waiting beast as he casually steers me around the table towards his heat. He jerks me down so I tumble onto his lap, this he finds to be a more comfortable position for the both of us. "This is your seat. Always."

"Then what about Tadeas?" I ask while shifting over to toss my legs on either of his sides straddling him and this he finds even more pleasing.

"I will build him a chair if you wish."

"You will not allow him to sit on your lap?"

"No my lap is reserved only for my female." He smiles up at me whilst his brawny limbs wrap around my waist dragging me closer to his flesh until my breasts press snugly against his broad toned chest. "Tell me what is it that you wished to speak with me about."

It takes a few seconds for me to gather up my courage but he encourages me with those loving blues that pierce mine with such fondness. "First about Alpha Giovanni." Phobos visibly stiffens in his seat beneath me with a slight clench to his jaw as soon as I mention him.

"What about him?" He questions me with narrowed eyes, he does not like where this is heading but that does not stop me from proceeding further with my enquiry. 

"What is your final decision, you never told me anything about it?" 

"My final decision about what?" He pretends to be bewildered earning a sharp punch to his chest by my closed fist in reprimanding. 

"Are you truly going to behave this way? You know exactly what I am talking about, you stupid male." Phobos merely slants his head to the side leaning the entirety of his back against the chair sitting more comfortably as he grips onto the rounded heads of the hand rests with his palms glancing up at me with unperturbed ocean blues that aggravates me further. He feels absolutely nothing regarding this issue unlike me who is brimming on the edge of panic and worry. 

"When you wish to protect other wolves who are not ours like this that too from me, it angers me Theia."

"I understand but you would be the same as me if you met them, Phobos. They are wonderful. Their Luna, Ira has become a good friend of mine and Alpha Giovanni's little sister Gianna is very close to me." 

"Do they occupy...room here? If I annihilate them will you bleed?" He questions whilst fixing his calloused palm against my pounding heart studying my orbs with an unreadable expression.

"Yes," I answer with no hesitation.

"Theia." He groans with an overdrawn sigh and shakes his head displaying his displeasure of this truth of mine.

"Phobos." I beseech and he gives me a sluggish nod of understanding in return. He does not wish to resist me on this.

"No harm shall come to them or their lands, I shall show them mercy. I do not wish to wound you." 

"You mean this? You promise?" I ask.

"They all are still breathing does it not indicate something to you? I had already sort of come to this conclusion after our last conversation on this topic. I conversed about this with my brother as well, that male Giovanni resides close to his heart. If those whom I love treasure him so much I have no right to end him." His truth has my eyes broaden with amazement. I truthfully did not anticipate this from my male rather I thought I would have to fight him more on this. He has become so understanding and accommodating of our wishes which only makes me love him further. 

I settle my forehead against his peeking down at him with a broad smile showing him just how delighted he has made me feel with this final decision. "Thank you." 

"Anything for you, my female." He responds with a benign smile of his own that ignites a soothing fire in the abyss of my heart. I love him so much more than I can ever convey.

"Will you someday come with me to visit them?"

"Visit Italy?"

"Yes, we can take a short trip there with Deimos's family." Phobos gazes away from me diverting his attention out the window behind my being insinuating that he is not interested in this. Italy is a sour topic to him for that is where I fled to leaving him behind and birthed his male. He finds the pack there to be his enemies no matter the number of times I have explained to him that this is not the case.

"Phobos, please. For me." His jaw tenses when I plead with him as he shoves his fingers through his locks with frustration. I know I shouldn't force him into doing something he is uncomfortable with but I need him to visit those wolves at least once so he can see how wonderful they are. 

"If this is what you wish, I shall accompany you." He speaks with an unfeeling flatness in the tone of his voice like a mechanical device of some sort made to accept my every wish.

"Look at me," I murmur underneath my breath my voice reassuring as I cradle his face in my palms urging him to face me. "We promised that we would leave the past in the past. That we would move towards the future did we not?"

"Yes." 

"Then you must leave whatever dislike or contempt you feel for Alpha Giovanni's pack behind, Phobos. It is a baggage you are carrying and I wish for you to be free of it. Deimos adores them, Lumina adores them and so do I. I want my moon blessed to adore them as well."

"Why?"

"Because they will be your greatest ally in times of need. Alpha Giovanni is not a mere pup as you make him be. He is a powerful male trained by your brother who would stand at your side at all times."  

"It seems my female has chosen them to be one of our allies."

"Indeed. They protected Tadeas and me, kept us safe." 

"From me! They kept you both from me." There is a subtle climb in the loudness of his voice while I graze my fingertips against his pulse that is thumping wildly exhibiting to me that he is getting agitated by this conversation yet to my touch he locks his eyes taking a deep breath in composing himself. 

"By my request, now imagine if you as one of their allies asked something from them. Imagine the extent they would go to just to satisfy your requests. I was there for almost a year Phobos I want you to trust me on this."

My male is reserved for a few seconds considering my words and I continue stroking his restless flesh with my fingers calming him. I love touching this male of mine, his body is all stiff muscle and robust bones where it gives a sense of immortality at times yet to my touch his indestructible strength falters and he yields to me. He is powerless against me and this I find enchanting.

"I will think about it, let me discuss this with Deimos and Drakho. I choose my allies carefully I only select the best you know this. And this pack might fear me I cannot have my allies fearing me, Theia." He utters while leaning further into my touch silently demanding more earning a giggle from me. A cold-blooded barbaric beast he is but at times he resembles that of a misconceived precious pup to me. But this truth shall be a secret of mine forever, I want this side of Phobos to be only mine till the end of our days. And if I tell him this it would only get his masculine pheromones all ruffled up, he would want to prove to me that in no way is he a pup which he will certainly do so with his body.

"I understand. You know best but you trust my words, yes?"

"Of course I do. It is only because you continually speak well of them and of that male's rule that I am willing to discuss more on this with Deimos and Drakho." Alpha males usually dislike having their females offer them advice on such matters but my male is different, he allows me to do so. He thinks that females possess a better thought process than males and are not much impulsive. If we do end up having females I am certain that Phobos will bring them up to be assertive warriors who will pave their own way for respect. 

"The second matter that I wish to speak with you is on what you are stressed about."

"I am not stressed about anything, my freesia." He mutters with a deep frown of puzzlement settling amid his thick brows. 

"You are, perhaps you do not recognize it but you truly are Phobos. Even our wolves see this, Tadeas is picking up on it too. He has been crying a lot lately have you noticed this?"

"It is because of me?" 

"Yes. And the key reason for your stress is this year's winter hunt yes?" 

"It is not that I am stressed about it more of worried I suppose. I have already delayed our departure for too long because of Tadeas's birth and the harsh winter that has begun. I am torn Theia. If I take my males for hunting now many will not survive but if I do not leave for the hunt our pack will not survive. Tadeas and you will starve and I cannot witness that -"

"I have spoken with Cronus on this," I state quickly swallowing with nervousness knowing what is to come as he snaps his questioning eyes up to regard me. "He will provide us with everything we need for this year including the share of the hunt that you must deliver to the Alpha with whom you have the hunting agreement."  

"What?" Phobos snarls unveiling his pointy canines at me his orbs a raging typhoon one that I have knowingly provoked. I knew he would get incredibly upset with me for this. In other words, I have just questioned his authority and his essence as Alpha.

"Please listen to me-" I beg my voice shaky as I attempt to caress his cheek but he seizes my frail wrist in an unyielding grip arresting any further movements.

"What do you mean by this? Do you not find me to be capable of leading the hunt as an Alpha this year?" His voice is harsh yet carries those bitter discouraging traces of doubt in them. He is fearful that I do deem him as such. 

"It is not like that, you do not understand."

"What do I not understand? You have asked another Alpha to perform the duties I must for my pack."

"It is just Cronus, there are no such things when it comes to family. We help each other."

"You know how I am, Theia. I do not take aid until I feel that I absolutely need it and you know how our wolves shall look at me if I do choose to be weak this way." 

"It is not being weak! It is too late to depart for the hunt, we will lose wolves this way or I will lose you. I am making it easier for us. You need help this winter, Phobos. And also every other winter." 

"Every other winter? What have you done, Theia?" He asks cautiously with a hint of disbelief coating his voice.

"I-I asked Cronus to form a trade pact with you. He will deliver everything our pack needs in bulk every few months and in return, we give him something from our lands that he wants. You can end your hunt agreement with the other male for this would be more suitable for us and I-" 

"Stop." He gnarls preventing my words his chest heaving as he strives to reign in his growing rage. "You want to change generations worth of traditions of our ways just with a blink of your eyes? Have you thought about how our wolves will feel? Hunting and providing for our females runs in our blood but you expect us to be lazy and take produce from a wealthy male?" This conversation was always going to happen from my side I only procrastinated it for I was terrified of the consequences of my actions but to hell with this, I am going to put some sense into him for the sake of my future for our future.

"We need change. This winter hunt needs to end." I raise my head jut out my chin and show him my decisiveness.

"For what reason? This is our tradition how do you expect me to put an end to this just like that?"

"Because I as the Luna of this pack find it to be unnecessary when we have better ways to acquire produce. Take Cronus's offer, this will be good for us." 

"I am the Alpha here!" He roars boisterously slamming his fist against the wooden table in an aggressive manner that has me cringe back from his warmth. It is swift the way I look away from him the way my lips quiver and the way tears brim in my nordic blues. I meant no harm by my actions I merely meant to make things better for us. 

It takes a few seconds for him to let go of my wrist only to lift his palm and cradle my right cheek turning my face back to encounter his searching eyes that seek to read my emotions. When the first tear slips out to trickle down my cheek his eyes soften further and he gives me a slight shake of his head. "Do not cry, you know I am weak to your tears. I apologize Drahá, forgive me." He whispers leaning forward to sit upright keenly studying my face for changes in emotion whilst he wipes my cheeks with his thumbs.

"Why do you think I did this you beast?! How do you expect me to stay seven months or more without you? How do you expect Tadeas to sleep without your chest you know he prefers yours to mine? I do not want to live the rest of my life worrying if my male will return to me or not!"

"Theia." His voice is pacifying as he combs my dishevelled locks with his fingers delicately driving them back to rest behind my ears. 

"No you will listen to me this time, you keep asking for a bigger family but there is no way I will bear our pups again without you by my side. Have you not thought about what if I get pregnant while you are away, I may even birth our pups before your return! I will not and can not do that a second time. Do you not wish to witness their birth or support me during my pregnancy?" I weep shrilly punching his chest with my fists and my male calmly captures my wrists and draws me down to him. Wrapping his arms around my quaking being he guides my head towards his neck and clasps onto me tighter. 

"Hush now, I am not going anywhere yet." He murmurs into my hair his palm patting my back wanting to ease my tension. He understands. "I admit I did think about this. But as Alpha, as Luna, our duty is to put our pack first. Do you or do you not understand this?" He asks softly but when I do not respond he kisses the top of my head urging me to do so as my fingers dig into his shirt while I hold onto him like my life depends on it. "Answer me, my sunflower."

"Yes, I understand." 

"So you understand why the hunt is a necessity for the pack."

"But-" I swiftly arise meeting his eyes with my bleary ones wanting to protest but he places his finger against my mouth shushing me.

"But I understand your needs as well for they are the same as mine." He sighs as he examines my belly with an unfathomable gentleness whilst he sets his palm against the flatness. "I too wish to be here, to be a part of everything from the nine months of your pregnancy to the birth as I was not able to be so for Tadeas. But my responsibilities shackle me. Being an Alpha and Luna comes with countless sacrifices."

"I need you to put us first this time, not as Alpha and Luna but as just Phobos and Theia," I utter as he leans up to delicately nuzzle my throat inhaling my scent to rejuvenate his insides. 

"I always put you first, my queen and I always will. But this-"

"I need you to do so for this as well. I need you here beside me especially now that I-" 

"You what?" He questions when I stop myself from finishing that sentence. 

"Nothing. I simply just want you to do this for me." 

"Will you give me time? This is not a simple matter, I would like to ponder over it first and then speak with our wolves on this." He declares whilst rising to stand on his feet and setting me down before him steadying me by my waist. 

"Take all the time you need my barbarian," I utter amid my growing smile as I leap skyward upon my tiptoes granting him a loving kiss on his cheek that earns me a kiss to my cheek as well from my male. 

"I will discuss this with our warriors later tonight, first we need to pick up your little beast he is probably causing Drakho and Awan too much trouble. You know how fast he has become with his crawling."

"I know, this is the reason you had to build the circular fence around our home. How fast do you think he shall be when he begins to fully walk?" Tadeas is learning to walk these days, Phobos and I spend a lot of time training him to do so and our male is a quick learner. 

"Very soon. His speed shall surely cause us heart palpitations." He jokes with a chuckle and I giggle aloud for this is totally true. Phobos and I are scared that at one point in time Tadeas will undoubtedly rebel and escape through the fences to explore on his own despite our continuous warnings. If he does not pay heed to either of us at this age itself he will surely not listen as he matures. He prefers to get his way in everything and is not afraid of his father's wrath rather openly challenges him at all times. A truly peculiar male he is. 

"Perhaps we should tie him up." I chuckle.

"That will not work he will only gnaw his way through the rope. He is stronger than other pups it will be effortless for him to do so." 

"Do you think he would...leave us? When he is of age? Would he prefer to live in the wilderness than stay with us as a family?"

"I am unsure of this, Drahá. It depends on his inner calling. I could stay at that castle for nineteen years despite my urge to seek out nature. But I have been observing him, studying him and I feel that he shall leave us earlier on."

"When?"

"Perhaps when he turns fourteen." I give him a shake of my head in objection, my upsetness of this showing on my face and Phobos's arm around me tightens as he pulls me closer to his side comforting me. He senses it, the pain of my heart though he cannot read it upon my face.

"I will not let him go that early. He cannot! He mustn't!"

"He will still be here, Theia. He will not leave our lands just perhaps choose to make his own home elsewhere. A place he shall be at peace. Moreover, you shall have plenty more little beasts running around that you will need to care for and they shall definitely consume all your time."

"But he is our firstborn. H-How could I ever-" My agitation has him rub my back in an effort to soothe my surging storm.

"That is enough now. He is still your little beast who cannot even walk yet and he is not going anywhere soon so do not worry much. He will remain by your side for many years to come." 

"Tadeas!" Drakho's roaring voice has the both of us immediately turn our attention to him. Tadeas is squealing and gurgling crawling on his palms and knees at full speed ahead coursing through several wolves who make way for him with a yawning Drakho racing after him around the grounds in an attempt to catch him. Our pup is smaller than the towering beta so he finds it effortless to go into narrow places hiding from view making Drakho restlessly hunt for him. Tadeas finds hide and seek fun it is his favourite game and irritating Drakho of course.

"You do it!" Both Phobos and I state the words in unison watching how our little one is completely coated with snow from head to toe. 

"Phobos I bathed him yesterday," I whine with fatigue that abruptly engulfs me. Tadeas is extremely difficult to bathe, he loves water just like his father but he detests being washed by us. He wishes to do so on his own even though he does not know how to clean himself.

"And I bathed him just this morning." 

"I shall make uzené for dinner if you bathe him," I strike a deal with a casual shrug of my shoulders that has him peering down at me with slightly wide eyes. It is his favourite meal, after all, I do not cook it much for it takes time and do so only on special occasions. 

(Smoked meat)

"Truly?" 

"Yes," I reply with a nod the tips of my lips twitching as I strive to reign in my laughter. This male of mine truly worships my cooking.

"With Česnečka?" He asks eagerly.

(Garlic soup) 

"You wish to have some?" 

"Very much so. You make it very delicious." 

"Then you will give Tadeas a warm bath, feed him his dinner and put him to sleep."

"That is a lot of work, my moonlight." 

"Those are your only options Alpha Phobos. Take it or leave it." 

"Done. I shall do them." He caves into me and I give myself a pat on my back as a sign of victory. I can get some rest today, I really need it. My feet are killing me. "You have gotten quite good at negotiations I will admit I cannot say no to you anymore."

"You are the cause of this, you trained me since I was five Phobos," I smirk earning a playful growl from my male that has me enter into a fit of laughter. 

"Alpha, Luna." Vůdce's sickly voice has me veer my gaze to her in an instant and so does Phobos his eyes softening as he studies her shaky form. She is barely able to walk properly these days.

Vůdce has been gradually losing her strength with each passing day over the past years her age has been weighing her down. Phobos mentioned she does not have much longer and her time to enter the moon's gates is near. Her small group of females stand close behind her their eyes set firmly on me yet their looks are quite different compared to what I was met with the first time around. Now they look at me with respect, admiration...love. I give them each a welcoming smile receiving multiple in return from them that stirs a unique sensation in my heart. 

"I wished to formally present you with these females. I have trained them the best I could and they will serve you till the end of their days." Vůdce says.

I frown with bafflement, she wishes to offer me her females? I peer up at Phobos to get answers yet he already has his radiant blues glued to my flesh gazing down at me with utmost pride which confounds me. I do not understand. 

"These are your females, Vůdce," I mutter. As Luna, I could have rightfully stripped the healer of her authority made her a lowly female just like others and could have taken these females as mine by force but I did not do so because I felt it was unnecessary. But here she is presenting them to me. She had once stated that they will be given to me when I become queen but over the years I had forgotten about this for seeing her with the females became something normal. 

"They were never mine. I merely trained them, for you."

"For me?"

"Yes. They were hand-picked by me long before you arrived not to be warriors to the pack or Alpha Phobos but you. Just you." 

"I do not need protection." 

"They are not here to protect you but to strengthen you, Luna. They will be at your side at all times." Will these females be similar to what Lumina possesses? My own tight-knit group of wolves whom I shall adore? "Say your oath." Vůdce commands and the females are agile to kneel in front of me with their heads bowed low their gazes positioned upon my boot-clad feet. 

"Our life is yours, Královna." They declare in unison while setting their palms over their hearts as I unhurriedly inspect them speechless by their abrupt antics. I did not expect this.

Our wolves scrutinise us standing aside not making a single sound as the crown of bones that Vůdce purposefully kept from me is finally seated upon my head by her. The females arise and stride towards me taking their spots behind me like they once did with the leader of females encircling me like an impenetrable shield. 

Vůdce bows deeply with every bit of strength she possesses along with a wide smile painting her face. When she steadies herself to regard me I am met with an indescribable fondness that is buried deep within those eerie eyes of hers. "I had been patiently waiting for this day. I always knew ever since the first day you strode into our lands. That you are worthy to be the queen of beasts. Our rightful Královna." She whispers sending a magnetic set of shivers down the entirety of my spine. She yanks the conch shell that is hooked to her attire steers it to her mouth and blows into it, a prolonged high pitched cry that is shipped upward toward the winter sky that has our wolves kneel into the snow and bow their heads. Not to Phobos but to...me.

"Our queen!" Phobos bellows out accompanied by a resonant rumble that rips out his throat whilst he beats his muscular chest with his fist his voice thundering out in waves of pride and power.

"Our queen!" The pack cheers and I shudder overwhelmed by everything that is transpiring. 

Phobos hauls me closer to him, his palms cradling my face as he sets his forehead upon mine whilst the pack continues to chant my title with claps and low hums. "My queen. Mine." He whispers proudly nudging me with the tip of his nose showing his affection and I gulp whilst the beats of my heart quicken as I gaze into his lustrous blues. Shall I say it? This would be a perfect time. I wanted to reveal it on his birthday but now feels right to me.

"Would you like an early birthday present, Phobos?" My voice is barely a whisper among the roaring chants of our wolves. 

"Birthday present? Now?" He questions with a frown. I nod shakily earning a throaty grunt of acceptance from him. He shall receive whatever I give him this moment. 

Grabbing his right wrist I steer his limb towards my belly and set his palm upon my flesh. His frown deepens, he does not comprehend what it is I am doing. "A big family," I whisper. 

"A big family?" He follows my words as though endeavouring to understand what I am trying to say. Does this slow male need for me to be any more precise than this? Phobos raises his left fist and our wolves quieten immediately paying heed to his silent command. "I do not understand what you are trying to express, Drahá."

"I am pregnant, you silly male," I mutter with a huff earning numerous gasps from all around us. My male's eyes enlarge with shock as he glimpses back and forth from my belly to my joyful eyes gaining a chuckle from me. 

He then diverts his gaze to Vůdce who is staring at us with a peaceful smile on her face. "Dvojčata," Phobos informs her and she gives him a curt nod of assurance as though what he just uttered was the ultimate truth. 

"What? What does that mean?" I ask.

My male begins to laugh his head tossed back the rich sound enveloping me in a bubble of warmth. "I cannot believe this." 

"You better answer me you beast."

"It means twins, my sunflower. You will birth twins." Did this male of mine just say...twins? 

"H-How do you know this? How can you be sure of this?"

"Do you remember that night you left our lands when the healer called for me while we were in the tent?"

"Yes."

"This was it. This was Vůdce's prophecy."
