Chapter 14: Secret Revealed!
"Atem...They're staring at me" Yugi whispered, scooting closer to Atem.
"They can't do anything to you without going through Yami and me. Just keep the pups quiet. Let us handle the court and the council" Atem said, nervously looking between Yami and werewolf councilors. Atem was in his wolf form as was every werewolf because of the full moon that illuminated the stadium-like meeting room.
"Don't worry, Atem. We've practiced and gone over everything. They won't dethrone you, my mate" Yami said, giving the werewolf an affectionate pat of the head.
"I hope you're right" Atem glanced down at his belly, knowing that he would have a noticeable baby bump when he turned back to his human form.
Yami and Atem watched as Seto, Seth, and Joey fussed with newly humanized pups. Seto Jr. looked like a mini version of Seth in a diaper. Naomi had sharp molten amber eyes that were framed by her wild brownish-blond hair. Yuuko had soft gentle pale blue eyes with amber tinges that were framed by her locks of honey blond.
"Why do the male pups always look like mini clones of there dads?" Yami asked, wondering if Heba and Kenji would look like Atem when they transformed into there human forms at one year old.
"Mating with a human male produces that result mainly because the werewolf is releasing sperm and eggs into a body that needs time to produce a place for the developing embryos" Atem snorted.
"Interesting" Yami said before going back to look over the werewolves and vampires that he would be addressing shortly.
"Atem...That grayish-silver werewolf just winked at me" Yugi whimpered, holding a sleeping Kenji to his chest.
"Ignore him, Yugi" Atem growled in the direction of the silvery male. The male smirked before rubbing heads with his blond mate, who was eying Yugi as well.
"Shall we start this meeting before anymore creatures try to get fresh with our mate?" Yami asked, seeing a few vampires staring at Yugi and licking there fangs.
"Let's finish this" Atem said, getting up from the large pillow that he was laying with Yugi and the pups.
Yami and Atem stepped up onto a sightly raised pedestal. They looked to each other and then to there side to see Seto and Seth joining them. As all four of them looked forward to begin the meeting, everyone quieted down instantly. Not even a pup or baby made a sound as the court and council rose.
"I thank you all for coming. We are now ready to open the meetings of both the vampire court and the werewolf council. Seto and Seth, is there any old business to attend to?" Yami said, looking straight at the court and council members.
"I have no old business to discuss" Seto said, closing his eyes and taking a small bow.
"The matter discussed last time resolved itself, so I have no old business to discuss as well" Seth announced, scratching himself behind his ear.
"Seeing that there is no old business to discuss...We will now open up the floor to new business" Yami said, before all four of them stepped down to let the unimportant shit be discussed first.
The pedestal become the only thing, other than the moon, lit in the room. A black pup with amethyst eyes, suddenly, appeared at the edge of the pedestal before trotting to the middle. Atem gasped when Yugi jumped forward and snatched the pup up. This was not a good way to start a meeting.
"Do you have new business?" an iced gray wolf asked before Yugi could move back to his seat with Heba.
"I have no business to discuss" Yugi said.
"Want mate!" Heba yipped happily, wiggling in Yugi's arms.
Yugi turned a deep red from embarrassment as the whole room erupted in laughter. Heba frowned and growled at the councilors, who looked shocked at the pup's request.
"Aren't you a bit young to be thinking about that?" a dark brown wolf with three ugly scratch marks across his face asked.
"I one in month" Heba growled.
"You couldn't have possibly found someone that you want to start a pack with already" a smoky white wolf said, eying the pup.
"Want mate Akira Phantom Fang!" Heba smiled.
Every vampire and werewolf was dead silent when the young pup uttered that name. None of them believed that the pup actually wanted to mate with the son of a banishment wolf. The silence was broken by the Alpha King himself, who burst out laughing at his son's proclaim.
"Yugi sit down with your son and stop letting Ryou pup-sit all the time" Atem chuckled, wishing he knew were Akefia was sitting, so he could see the look on the wolf's face.
"Yes, mate" Yugi said, blushing more as he stepped down from the pedestal.
Yugi walked back to his seat with the rest of his litter. He sat Heba down and began giving his a stern lecture on how to act during a meeting. Yugi was so caught up in the lecture that he missed most of the discussions.
"Is there anymore business to discuss before we close this meeting?" a red-headed vampire asked, Yugi's head snapped up at hearing this and began watching intently.
Yami walked up and stepped onto the pedestal. He wore no emotions and the air of a ruthless ruler waved about him. He stood and eyed the court members and councilors, daring them to speak.
"You may proceed with the closing if you have no business to discuss, Your Majesty" a tough-looking blond vampire said.
"I do have some business to discuss" Yami said, watching the werewolves and vampires carefully.
"What is it?"
"I recently decided to research about a way around the untouchable. My mate, Alpha King Atem, helped me with part of the research"
"What did you and your mate find?" the iced gray wolf asked, suddenly interested in the vampire king.
"We found a few very old spells with an interesting list of dos and don'ts. We wondered what would happen if we ignored the list completely"
"What were your findings?" the grayish-silver wolf asked.
"By simply ignoring the list... I, Yami the Vampire Lord, got Atem, the Alpha King, pregnant" Yami smirked as he heard several gasps and one "I knew something was up" from the room.
"Is this true, Alpha King?" a blond female vampire asked.
"Yes...I am with child" Atem said, stepping onto the pedestal.
"How do we know that it doesn't belong to your human mate?"
"An Alpha wolf would never bend over to a weak human" Atem snarled, he was very close to transforming to show his strength.
"Atem, calm down! That's not good for the baby!" Yami said, pulling the wolf to his chest.
"Get off me! I'm not some weak female or human that needs to be protected" Atem growled, reluctantly pulling out of Yami's grip. He didn't mind being held, but he didn't want to look weak in front of the werewolf councilors.
"I'm just concerned for your well-being and the baby's"
"I'm sorry, Yami. I just don't like being questioned for unthinkable things" Atem whimpered, nuzzling his mate, lovingly.
"It's alright, love"
"NO! It is not alright! You used me to test a spell before you told me what it did. You wanted me to carry a vampire baby. You jerk!" Atem snapped at Yami.
"Would you stop with the mood swings, already? You're more hormonal than Yugi was" Yami sighed.
"It was funny to watch you deal with Yugi's mood swings. It's going to be so wonderful to have another child running around the house. Don't you agree, Yami?" Atem smiled happily.
"Okay! Aside from having mood swings and you being the Alpha King... How do you know that this child will be a vampire when it's born?" a bluenette vampire asked.
"The spell that I used to get the wolf pregnant had handwritten notes at the bottom of the page. They described a chain of events that would happen if the spell wasn't preformed properly. They concluded that a child would be conceived and the probability of the child being vampire was 95%" Yami informed.
"This is very interesting...We shall monitor your experiment and see what becomes of it. I would very much like to see how a child, with vampire blood in it's veins, looks" all the vampire court and werewolf council members agreed.
"Seto, would you and Seth close the meeting? I believe both my mates need some rest" Yami said, after noticing that Yugi looked wiped-out and Atem seemed to be fighting to stay awake.
Seto nodded and bowed as Yami stepped down from the pedestal, Atem by his side. Yami stroked Atem's head as they walked back to get Yugi and the pups. Atem leaned into Yami's hand, happy that they were going home once they collected their human mate and his pups.
"Daddy! Mizuki bit mama! She drew blood" Kenji yelled, causing Atem to run to Yugi.
"Yami! We need to get Yugi out of here now!" Atem's voice was frantic.
"Pups! Grab onto mama or daddy!" Yami said, smelling the blood now.
The pups didn't questions as they all jumped on Yugi. Atem grabbed Heba, who was struggling to stay on, by the scruff of his neck. Yami put a hand on both his mates when all pups were accounted for and teleported them to the master bedroom of there home.
"Yami, it burns!" Yugi cried, his hand bleeding from the small yet deep canine tooth marks along the side of his hand.
"Everyone out NOW!" Yami yelled, his eyes flashing blood red. All the werewolves obeyed and left the room.
"Yugi, I'm going to have to suck your blood. Mizuki must have been playing too hard and was bleeding around her mouth. When she bit you, her blood came in contact with your wound. Her werewolf blood is trying to change you" Yami explained as he tied a belt tightly around Yugi's arm to slow the blood flow down.
"I don't care what you do...just make it stop" Yugi sobbed, big fat tears rolling down his face.
"This may hurt a bit" Yami warned before sinking his fangs into Yugi's hand. Yugi screamed as he felt Yami's fang penetrate his skin.
"Stop, it hurts! It hurts!" Yugi cried, feeling the blood in his arm being drained almost completely.
"You're clean now" Yami said, after he let go and started licking the wound to heal it as he got rid of the belt.
"Are you positive?" Yugi sniffed, he stopped crying a few minutes before Yami released his hand, seeing as the burning sensation had disappeared.
"Positive...I'm sorry, Yugi" Yami hugged his little mate and kissed him on the forehead.
"I should have asked you to put them to sleep after Heba made his love proclaim in front of the entire werewolf council and vampire court"
"Don't worry about that... Secret revealed! You don't need to think about it. You should sleep now. You seem tired" Yami said, looking Yugi in the eyes.
"I do feel sleepy" Yugi yawned before laying down on the bed.
Yami smiled sadly as Yugi fell asleep. Yami had not missed the ring of amber that appeared around Yugi's pupils. It was a sigh that the werewolf blood had effected Yugi in some way. This fact made Yami nervous as to what it did and didn't effect.
Next: What does the future hold for our pregnant Atem? And how will Yugi cope now that his DNA had been slightly altered?
