AN: Sorry this took me so long. It's been a very stressful period since I work two jobs now and I'm still working on getting my Master's. Hope you enjoy this chapter. The next chapter is already almost done :-)
Liekos groaned a little "Dad, I don't like the principal. It's not cool to be friends with the principal and he's only nice to me cuz he likes mom. He calls her up all the time pretending to talk about me but I know that's B.S".
Victor cocked his brow "B.S.?".
"I'm not supposed to say that word" Liekos replied with a wicked little grin on his face "It means bullshit" he added in a whisper.
Victor snickered and decided to get some more information on this principal person. They were sitting on the porch of the house. Liekos scribbling something in his drawing book, drawing was obviously not one of his talents. Victor just sat there and watched.
"So he calls her up and then what?" he asked his son.
Liekos continued his drawing while explaining to his dad "They talk on the phone. He talks about how I do in school. But I think he asked her out once. She said no of course. But he doesn't give up, he even went to one of her concerts. I was there too so I saw it. He brought her flowers! Mom hates flowers! She says they're lame and smelly".
They chatted some more and Victor really enjoyed the honesty of the little boy. The way he was all relaxed around him and told him whatever came into his mind. Few people ever let their guard down around him, but this little man was the opposite. Even though the little chats were nice, the information about the principal and his little wolf did not please him. Quite the opposite, it made his blood boil and his claws expand.
As soon as he saw BMW convertible entered the drive way, he decided what to do.
She got out, looking too fucking good as always, green satin pencil dress, red high heels, her long caramel hair waving all around her as she locked up the car and walked up the porch with groceries.
Victor stared at her as she walked up "I'm coming to this parent-teacher-conference tomorrow night" he said in a matter-of-factly way which stopped her in her pace.
There was no room for discussion here. He would be there. Ready to tear this puny principal man to shreds.
Liekos laughed softly as he tried hard to stare down at his book. Ylva looked up at Victor with wide eyes.
"M'kay… Why?" she asked suspiciously.
"Because I'm a parent" he simply stated with a smirk all over his face. Flashing his canines some more.
The look on her face said more than a thousand words. "M'kay". She could hardly object. She asked for more support and he gave it to her. She might actually like having him around.
She made her way inside quickly to start dinner but he came up behind her and pressed her roughly against the counter with his full body against her back.
Both his hands were on either side of her so there was no way of escaping. He was a predator and his little prey was trapped, just the way he liked it. He pressed his body some more into her until she either squeaked or moaned, he wasn't sure which one it was.
The things Liekos had told him about the principal angered him greatly. He marked her years ago, he had laid his claim, she was his and so was the cub. His.
He murmured seductively into her ear "You're fucking beautiful, anyone ever tell you that?".
She closed her eyes "If I say yes, you'll tear that person to bits?".
He softly squeezed her but "Damn straight Ylva. Anyway, don't bother cooking, I promised Liekos to take you guys out for food" he growled against her ear as he inhaled her soft scent.
Why did she not push away from him? Why did she just let him touch her behind and why on earth did she feel so…. 'warm' with him standing behind her, pressed up against her.
She took a deep breath, not meaning to back down just because this huge feral man thought he could bully her around.
"I already have everything prepared Victor" she replied through clenched teeth as she turned her head slightly towards him.
"So put it in the freezer baby, this is not up for compromising. Or do you wanna fight in front of our son again?".
Now that was a low blow. Of course she didn't want that.
"Fine. Then maybe you can let go off me now?" she whispered as she noticed how close her face was to his.
"Why? Getting a little too hot in here for you?" he whispered as he removed several strands of hair from her neck "Maybe you should take something off".
"Victor" she replied sternly as she took in a deep breath.
But the rest of her words were suddenly lost when he pressed his lips to her bare neck. Her flesh instantly caught fire when his lips locked onto the point where he had marked her all those years ago.
She moaned loudly as her hands flew up to grasp both his hands. Impaling his claws which were still gripping onto the counter. It wasn't to hurt him, it wasn't because she wanted him to let go or to fight him off… It was the sensation she felt when he pressed his warm lips on her skin and into his mark.
Because it had been too fucking long and she wasn't made of stone.
Ylva looked around. This place was very fancy. She couldn't remember ever being in a restaurant like this. Victor said they'd be going out for dinner and knowing Victor's appetite, she expected a steak house. Which would've been fine with her since she ordered a steak anyway.
"Honey, don't play with your food" Ylva said softly as she stroked the little boy's head.
He was so goddamn beautiful to behold. Everything she'd had to go through to have him, was so much more than worth it. She smiled at him and looked at the similarities between her son and Victor. She would never be able to describe in words how she loved this little boy. Sometimes she looked at him and could hardly believe that this precious little thing actually came from her own body and DNA.
Yet she sometimes dreaded the day when he would turn feral.
And that was something which was undeniably going to happen. With Victor as a full feral mutant and her own feral genotype… there was only a minor chance that Liekos wouldn't be feral, let a long a not a mutant. He already had a small healing factor. She would not be ashamed or scared of her son, never. But kids were so cruel… so incredibly cruel to one another.
Victor caught her staring and almost as if he could read her mind, he gave her a small reassuring smirk. As if he knew what she was worried about. She smiled politely back at him.
That's right… she almost forgot. Nowadays, it wasn't as terrifying as it was. Because she had her son's father here to back her up. To guide Liekos and see him through the changing process. Which was something Victor was probably a lot better at than her since she was not male.
"Mom, I'm full, I don't need to eat my veggies now that we're eating out right? Cuz it's a special night?" Liekos debated.
"Eat your veggies big guy" Victor spoke quite sternly before Ylva could even consider what she had to come up with this time to make him eat the vegetables.
"Can't we eat them together like last time dad?" Liekos tried.
"No" Victor said most seriously "This time it's just you and the carrots".
Ylva relaxed and sat back when she realized Victor was actually sticking to his word: he would back her up when it came to serious parenting business.
She smiled at her plate, this could work out.
When they got back, there was a message on the answering machine. And when she picked up the phone to find out what it was, it wasn't a pleasant one.
"Liekos, can you come down here for a moment?" she called her son from downstairs.
The little boy said nothing when he shuffled into the room quite uncomfortably.
"Sweetie" she said as soon as he had sat down on the couch across from her "The principal just called-"
"Did he now? Why would he do that I wonder?" Victor mumbled sarcastically and Liekos laughed at the cheeky comment his dad made.
Ylva gave Victor a deadly look, letting him know to let her handle this and to shut the fuck up.
"Come on" she said to her son "Let's sit down for a minute".
They both sat down on the safe as Liekos just stared at the ground or any other place but his mom's eyes.
"The principal called to tell me you were in a fight at school today, is this true?".
"Yes" the boy answered with his eyes on the table deck.
"Why didn't you tell me? You know I don't like to hear things like this from the him. I want to hear these things from you. So why did you feel you couldn't be honest with me Liekos?".
"I was honest! I didn't lie did I? I just kept it from you".
Victor gave her a cheeky smirk, reminding her of her own words on how she never lied to him about the existence of their son.
She ignored it and continued.
"Okay, so do you want to tell me what happened now then? Who did you fight with?".
"With Carl, Jonathan and Patrick".
Ylva frowned for second. She recognized the names instantly. These were the boys from his advanced math class. And they were all 12.
"You mean from your math class?".
"Yes, them" Liekos replied grumpily with his little arms crossed as he stared his mother in the eyes.
"And you were on your own against all three of them?"
"Yes" he said once more. Obviously not keen on talking about the incident. She was gonna have to drag it out of him.
"And who started the fight? Was it you or them?".
"I punched Carl first" he admitted.
She sighed "Why did you do that baby?".
The boy almost but jumped up from the couch and waved his arms around violently trying to state his case.
"Because they were saying mean things! And it made me angry mom!".
She exhaled and gestured him to sit down again "Honey, if you need to defend yourself because someone attacks you, that's fine. But you attacked someone because they were being rude… I don't feel that is the right thing to do and you know that".
"They were saying mean things about you mom! And I told them to shut up several times! And they wouldn't stop! So I punched Carl in the face and all of a sudden his nose started bleeding and then the others attacked me so I tried to fight them off!".
"What did Carl say then?".
Liekos sat down on the couch once more and crossed his arms, looking away and not planning to tell his mom what the kids said about her.
"Liekos, you need to tell me because tomorrow night the principal wants to talk about this and I want to know what's going on!".
He had even said on the phone that he planned in extra time to discuss this little incident but she decided it was best to leave that out since she knew that wasn't the reason he had planned in extra time.
"I don't wanna talk about it mom".
Ylva sighed and leaned back into the couch. This was all she needed right now. For her son to lock her out when he used to tell her everything. Maybe it was the start of puberty?
Suddenly Victor coughed slightly, eyeing Ylva and letting her know that maybe he should handle this in a man to man conversation.
After all, this was obviously a guy thing.
She sighed even deeper and got up agitatedly. Fine, let him handle it. It wasn't as if he could all of a sudden run for father of the year.
Before leaving the room, she turned around in anger "I'll be in the music room when you need me. And depending on what I hear from the principal tomorrow, you might be grounded for two weeks. No computer games, only homework and you come home straight away after school" she said as she pointed at Liekos before she left the room.
"So what happened little ass-kicker?" Victor asked after he eyed the mother up and down when she left the living room. Damn that ass in that skirt…
He quickly shook his head to erase those thoughts when Liekos chuckled at his father's new nickname for him.
"I fought three kids in math class because they said some stuff about mom which I didn't understand at first. Until they explained…"
Liekos explained exactly to Victor what the other boys had said. The things they had said about his mom's 'tits' and how they would love to do certain stuff to her.
Victor wasn't very shocked but it angered him nevertheless and he could understand why his son would stand up for his mother's honor. The boys were older and he had said a lot worse in his time. And still.
Guess it was a good thing Liekos didn't know about the stuff Victor thought about Ylva. It was a lot worse than those 12 year olds could come up with. And a lot more creative.
"They say all this stuff about her! Dirty stuff… because they think she's pretty. She's not supposed to be pretty dad! Other moms aren't that pretty!".
Victor chuckled at the boy's logic.
"She can't help it kid. The healing factor we have, it stops us from aging. Other moms age and yours doesn't".
"Yeah well… I don't like it! So I beat them. Besides, they were with three and they did defend themselves you know! It wasn't like I bullied them or anything!".
"Listen up kid, we'll make a deal. I will teach you self-defense techniques, if you promise not to misuse them in school or any other place against people who are weaker than you, no matter what they say. You okay with that?".
The little boy's eyes lit up significantly "Yes! I Promise! When do we start?!".
Victor couldn't suppress a chuckle, the little boy was amusing and reminded him of another little boy he once took care of.
"Well, I need to discuss things with your mom but-".
Liekos instantly dropped his little shoulders and groaned "Awwww dad, she'll say no! Especially after what I did in school today".
"No she won't, I can be very convincing" Victor replied as he grinned mischievously, imagining all the different ways he could 'persuade' her to do as he said.
She wasn't in the music room anymore when he checked. She'd gone to bed, he could smell it.
The room was dark when he entered and she had her back turned towards him. But she wasn't asleep. He started taking off his clothes. It was way early to go to sleep but this was a nice opportunity to 'talk' about their cub.
"I don't understand it at all. He's never been violent before" she suddenly spoke up.
Victor took off his shoes and shirt "You'll understand when I tell you what the fight was about".
She turned over to look at him and was startled for a minute. "Is it a feral thing?" she asked.
Victor took off his dress pants and hopped into bed "Might be" he said "But it's mostly a family thing" he said as he reached out and instantly pulled her to the middle of the bed and against him.
"What do you mean a 'family thing'?" she asked as she tried to get used to this position and settled in his arms. Nowadays, since he started sleeping next to her, this was something he did every night. He never took it beyond the point of stroking her, kissing her neck or making her horny a hell in other ways. And she secretly wished he'd kiss her again like he'd done that night when they fought about parenting and she admitted how sorry she was for keeping their son from him.
"Well" Victor mused slowly "I guess you could say he was defending your honor".
"My honor? But why? What on earth can three 12-year-olds say about me which could be that bad?" she naively wondered out loud.
He rolled his eyes. Had this little wolf been living under a rock for the last decade or something? Twelve year old boys were no better than 20 year olds these days. Or any other man.
"Trust me Ylva, you don't wanna know".
"Tell me" she demanded fiercely.
He grinned. Impressed by her sudden fierceness.
"Okay" he purred as he climbed on top of her and settled between her legs "I'll tell you" he took her wrists in his hand and gently pinned them above her head as he stroked her arms "These infants talked about your chest, said some stuff about how hot you were and if I have to believe Liekos, which I do, they even spoke about 'doing' his mom".
Her eyes were as big as tea cups. Since when did a bunch of newly-teenage-boys talk about this stuff before they were 16?
When he thought about it, anger awoke Victor Creeds feral instincts once more. And these were only a bunch of kids talking shit. He couldn't imagine what he'd do if he'd ever notice a grown man being hot for his mate.
"Well" Ylva finally spoke out loud "I guess we'll talk to the principal about that tomorrow".
Victor growled a little when she reminded him of this principal man they had to meet up with tomorrow. She probably wouldn't appreciate it if he'd rip out the man's guts. But if the inferior man would give him a reason… he would do so when she wasn't watching. Although Liekos probably would have to change schools so it wasn't the most practical option. Just some basic intimidation then.
Ylva looked up at him, waiting for Victor to get off her and letting go of her wrists. Instead he held them both in one hand as the other slowly tickled its way down her arm and onto her back. He slowly started rubbing circles along her back, feeling her muscles which were a little cramped up.
She exhaled as if she enjoyed it quite a bit "What are you doing Victor?".
"Just massaging you a little, relax" his hand worked out a knot in one of her muscles and with that, brought her chest up to his. Her nipples only just stroked his chest through the material of her night gown and it was more teasing than she could stand. She moaned again, a little louder this time. Though she tried to keep it down.
"Wait, where's Liekos?" she suddenly remembered.
He chuckled "I put him to bed".
"But… but it's still so early" she objected.
He scoffed humorously "Well he put up a fight in school so I expected him not to be allowed to watch some TV or play videogames".
"Oh right" she blushed "I forgot for a moment".
He backed me up again.
He didn't answer and continued to slowly rub her back with one hand while still towering over her in the bed.
She sighed and purred at the same time. This felt so nice. The whole evening had been kinda nice up to the principal's phone call of course.
He smelt her arousal and pushed his pelvis into her as he groaned down at her. Her eyes flew wide open when she felt how hard he was. He groaned again, almost in pain since he would soon burst through his pants if the little wolf didn't give in. But then again, he wanted to tease her, wanted her to beg. She moved back against his hard on, her traitorous body giving into his instantly. Practically begging for him to thrust inside her.
"Turn around" he suddenly broke the magic as he rolled of her. She did as he told her to and so her back was facing him now.
"No not that way" he said as he reached for her "No spoons tonight" he chuckled.
She rolled back, facing his chest and his arms made their way around her, continuing to slowly rub her back while she lay in his arms.
"Sorry about that Ylva" he said most sarcastically "I know you don't actually want me to fuck you" he whispered into her ear.
She bit her tongue. Knowing he was taunting her, challenging her to beg to differ with him.
AN: I know I know... Kind of a boring chapter right? But I promise the next one is a lot more fun ;-)
