Chapter 14
Some time has passed since the pups had been bored. Lilly was the spitting image of her father Koga. Leta had his eyes but his mother's hair. Some of Yuki's looks resembled Evelina's late mother while Yusuke had his mother's looks. Evelina was busy keeping up with the pups. In the span of a month they had been very playful and quickly learning already how to walk and to be in their humanoid forms. Kagura had finally found a potion that turned Skylar into a demon and she had a humanoid form as well. Tan skin soft brown eyes with long brown hair. Her humanoid form resembled that of a 7-year-old and she helped Evelina often with the pups. Evelina carefully got her pups in their respective beds and she closed the door and walked down the hallway to her room. She had been putting off reading her mother's journal since the pups had been born but decided to not put it off any longer. She sat on the bed and held Koga's hand as she opened it. She spoke softly in Italian as she read the last few journal entries out loud.
"I worry...that as time goes on I will no longer be able to protect my little girl. My involvement with my beloved and my baby girl that I have had hidden from him need to be protected. He does not know of Evelina's existence for his own protection and for hers. If they knew Evelina was his and my child...she would be taken from me and trained to be a killing machine and eventually be forced to kill her own father...I'll never let that happen." Evelina's eyes widened as she continued to read and she was translating for Koga as he listened. Carolina Garibaldi was the daughter of the head of the Italian Mafia. Her grandfather Thomas Garibaldi was very well known in the crime world and in general. He was known as a dangerous man who would stop at nothing to get what he wanted and would kill anyone to get it. "I've decided to place Evelina in a home for a while...when I return from confronting my father I'll take her to meet her father and hopefully he and I and our small little family can be away from this life forever...I don't wish my daughter to know this pain." It was signed as the last journal entry. Evelina closed the book silently as tears slowly fell down her cheek.
"So, why did she tell you about the Irish woman? Was that something she used to keep you away from your father?" Koga muttered softly and held Evelina gently. He was taking being a father well and was excited of having his own growing pack.
"I guess...or maybe I dreamt that I don't know...I was really young when she told me that." she sighed and rubbed her temples. "So... she must have died...that was her body in that casket in the funeral...my grandfather must have killed her...it's the only thing I can think of."
"Perhaps you're right...Eve maybe you should give...him the benefit of the doubt and ask more details. It's obvious your mother really loved this guy." Koga says softly
Evelina breathed in and sighed. "He still in Caine's dungeon, right?" It wasn't a dungeon but she preferred to call it that. Every king has a dungeon and if Caine wasn't a modern-day King of New York than who was.
"Correct." He nods and holds her. "You've been a great mother you know that?" He kissed her cheek
"Stop you...damn wolf man." she mumbled and had a small blush grace her cheeks as she turned her head away from him. "Can you handle 5 puppies for a few hours?"
"If I can watch an entire pack back in the day then I can watch some pups." Koga nods his head. "And I meant what I said, you've been a great mother."
She rose a brow and kissed him softly. "You're also forgetting four of them are half of me and are very energetic." She slowly stood up and grabbed her keys. "I'll be back gonna visit Diablo and daddy dearest wish me luck." She started to walk toward the door but she stopped at the baby nursery. She quietly walked in and gave each pup a kiss on the head and then went and kissed Skylar's cheek as she was in her own bed.
"Good luck." Koga watched as his mate left to get the answers she sought for years. 'Hope she gets the answers she wants.'
Evelina breathed in and she got to her car and quickly started to drive. Right as all the pups started to whimper and cry. Evelina had a small smirk. 'He's gonna need the luck more than I will.' she took out her phone to call Veronika.
Koga blinks and groans. 'Fuck.' He changed to a wolf and place each pup on a mat, leaving Skylar in her bed and nuzzled them all to sleep.
Veronika shivered slightly from anticipation. She and Naraku have been trying for a baby and she was anxiously awaiting the results of her pregnancy test. Her timer on her phone went off and she checked the test. "Negative..." her chest ached from the pain of not having a child. "Maybe it wasn't meant to be." she whispers and tossed the test in the trash. Her phone ringed and she answered it. "Oh hi Eve." She covered up her sadness and spoke with a happy tone. "Is everything ok? Do I need to babysit?"
"No but I wouldn't be surprised if Koga calls you I haven't left him alone with the pups before." She had the phone on speaker as she drove. "Um...I'm going to see the sperm donor in your dad's dungeon...I hate to say it but I'm nervous and scared as all hell."
Veronika giggles slightly and leaves the bathroom and goes to her car. "Eve don't worry about Koga, he will be fine." She starts driving to an herbal shop and sighs. "Eve...there's no need to be afraid, just talk to him."
"I know...I know." Evelina sighed. "I'll talk to you later Vee...oh and there's a gift waiting for you at the house...something one of Koga's wolf friends gave me...I want you to have it." And with that Evelina hung up.
'Wonder what that is.' Veronika went to the herb shop and purchased some tea that would increase her fertility and sighed. She went to her studio to do private lessons for mothers and children then after that she returned home and picked up the package that was left at her doorstep. She walked into the house and opened it. "What in the world."
Inside of it was a letter along with a small vile of a potion. It smelled of Lavender and honey. "Drink this. Then fuck the shit out of your spider Buttervee. Just let me warn you morning sickness sucks. Love Evelina." The note read
Veronika's eyes widen and she teared up. "Thank you so much Eevee." She rubbed her eyes and squealed softly. She drank the entire potion and felt the effects. "Oh wow..." she blushed and her cheeks felt hot. She grabbed one of Naraku's sleeping Saimyōshō and touched its head. "Tell Naraku to come home or else he'll miss out on some fun time." She whispers and watched it fly out of the window in search of its master.
The Saimyōsho didn't take long to find Naraku at Caine's estate. Evelina had just walked in and she looked to Naraku. "Seems she found the potion. Go knock up my best friend." She smirked and Caine's eye twitched but he ignored it as he leads Evelina down to the dungeon as she called it.
Naraku grinned and within seconds his body de- materialized into his miasma before materializing back to his humanoid form in his and Veronika's shared home. He sauntered down the hallway and grinned as he found her on the bed. "I could smell your arousal from outside...naughty little butterfly." He continued to keep his grin as he pulled his tie off.
Blushing madly Vee hugged him. "Don't speak..." she kissed him and the rest was all she wrote. It didn't take long for Naraku to fill Veronika with his seed inside and out. As he held her sleeping form close to him he noticed her stomach glowed slightly before calming signaling the fetus inside. He grinned to himself and kissed the top of her head before succumbing to sleep as well.
The dungeon was dark but in one corner was a wine cellar and the other was some makeshift cells that was used to torture those that 'got out of hand.'
Evelina breathed in as she walked down to the last cell and she saw her father there. "Whether you want to talk or not we are going to have a conversation...about my mother."
Aaron Williams slowly opened his eyes and looked at Evelina. "What do you want to know?" He muttered and coughed slightly.
Evelina sighed and pulled up a chair outside the cell. "My...well I guess you could say husband found her journals...of course it was all written in Italian and I was thankful her handwriting was easy to read and translate but well." she started to explain everything. About her mother and why she had left to protect them both and her theory about her grandfather ending her life. "It was her...she had the scar behind her left ear...so it was mothers body." she let in a deep breath and exhaled.
"My dear sweet Carol was always a beautiful flower." He muttered and stared at the wall. "She's dead truly, I was harvesting demonic energy to bring her back." His tone became angry and detached. "Fucking old coot...killed my songbird."
"I've heard of him...he died a long time ago and the mafia had slowly died down there too...good riddance..." Evelina mumbled and breathed in. She flexed out a claw and slashed at the lock opening the cell.
Aaron stayed where he was at. "I want to see her journal." He mutters and looks at the lock.
Evelina breathed in. "You think of touching my pups to try and bring her back I won't hesitate to kill you." She started to lead the way out of Caine's dungeon.
"I never said anything about killing children now did I?" he hums and started walking and followed Evelina's lead. Eventually he got to see his grandchildren and read Carol's journal in its full entirety. He left the house and went to his old loves grave. He sat down a large bouquet of her favorite flowers and sat down beside the tombstone solemnly.
