Cain transformed before DG. She was still sleeping. Cain watched her with a protective ,loving gaze while he talked about what had happened since before the bodyguards death. Leaving out the heavy makeout sessions and naked DG in the river of course.
Jeb smirked. He soon realized while his dad knew about werewolf mating he didn't know how short her pregnancy would be. " Dad , you know your gonna be a dad again ,right?"
Cain blushed. " Umm how did you know that ? I only picked up the scent this morning."
" Raw told me the facts and some of them it's obvious you don't know." Jeb snickered. Az tried to control her giggles. Jeb had explained it to her. Man was her sister and Cain in for some shocks. " Dad, heh , werewolf pregnancies last about three months and a female can carry between four to six cubs."
Cain nearly passed out. "Four to six?! She's tiny how is she gonna ! What have I done to her ?!"
Az felt bad for him. " The wolf in her can handle it. It's the cubs that are the main concern. Some may not survive."
Cain walked over to his wolf lover and petted her black fur. " How would you even survive a baby you carried dying ?"
DG transformed. Naked. Az and Jeb covered their eyes. " Let's leave the two love wolves alone for a couple minutes." Az nearly begged. She left. Jeb followed.
Cain grabbed a blanket to cover her. He noticed she was already showing. She petted her swollen belly. He saw her holding back tears. " I'm not saying this will be easy but if I have to face tragedies I know I will eventually be okay with you by my side." She hugged him tightly. " What about you ,Wyatt ? How will you handle losing one of our babies?"
" It'll hurt like hell but I feel the same. If I must go through it I need you by my side." Cain kissed her. They heard Az scream. They raced out. There was seven wolves waiting for them. All had red eyes.
A silver furred one stepped up. They were shocked that he could talk. " You killed my brother. He was the king of our pack. I challenge you. You win you become the king of the pack. You lose you die and your mate and cubs become mine."
Cain growled and his eyes turned red. " She's not property and neither are our kids. You touch her you will die!"
" You can not turn this challenge down. It would be very unhealthy for your mate if you do. This challenge will not take place until after your cubs are born. I am very interested to see how many cubs survive the birth. If their strong enough. Mostly I need to see if your mate will breed strong warriors or weaklings. If the latter I shall have my way with her then kill her." the wolf chuckled.
DG held on to Cain to make sure he didn't attack. She could feel his rage boiling. She nuzzled her nose into his neck , calming him. " Then we shall meet in three months. Where? "
" I will come back in three months time. Here is were we will fight. Here is where you must live until then. Do not run away . We will find you and you know we will." The wolf and his pack left.
Cain comforted DG. "Nothing will divide us. Nothing."
Az went back to the castle and informed her parents of the events. DG was disinherited but given an endless supply of platnium. Cain and Jeb worked on building a cabin for DG to birth in. The cabin was near the cave keeping their promise not to leave area. DG grew bigger everyday. Glitch came to live with them as did Jeb.
The mornings belonged to Cain and DG. That was their alone time and Glitch found that out when he interupted their alone time and DG ,yes ,DG growled and showed fangs until Glitch took the hint and left them alone. Cain and DG's mornings were full of passion. They bonded ,cuddled , and made love. They fell deeper and deeper in love. They were so in tune to the other that when Raw visited he said they were two halves of the same person. Cain would rub Shea butter over her swollen belly. He loved her pregnant. He couldn't get enough of her.
When they turned into their wolf forms he never left her side except for that one time near the end of her pregnancy when she bit him after she said he was suffocating her with his overprotectiveness. Wolf Cain went in a corner a licked his wounds both physical and emotional. An hour after Wolf DG came to him nuzzling up to him and apologizing in her own way.
The day finally arrived for the babies to be born. Glitch,Az, Jeb , Ahamo,and the Queen waited in the dining room while DG birthed in the bedroom she shared with Cain. Raw helped with the delivery. He informed them that they would be born cubs and change into their human form within an hour.
Atticus Weston was born first. His fur was a dark brown. Dahlia Rose was born with black fur . Ambrosia Lila was born with blonde fur. Their joy was quickly turned to sadness when their last child was born still born. A blonde girl. She was named Dottie. All three of their children when they turned into their human form had brilliant blue eyes like their parents. A worn out DG and a sad but overall grateful Cain bonded with their newborns on their bed.
Cain looked at his mate.Tears shining in his eyes. " You did good Kiddo ,you did good."
Outside a wolf watched then headed back to inform his leader. "Only one died. A girl at that ,even better. Hmm she birthed three girls and only one boy. No matter she's proven herself a good breeder. Let them bury their dead girl ,then the match will begin."
Cain hugged Dahlia. DG watched as the other babies slept. Dahlia kept sneezing and with every sneeze she transformed. One sneeze ,wolf .Next sneeze human. DG smiled. Somebody was already Daddy's favorite not that she ever would say that out loud. It didn't shock DG though. Dahlia had DG's hair color and Cain had named her. Cain wanted her to have a D at the beginning just like his DG.
Cain cooed at his little girl. " Who's the cute sneezing princess you are ,you are. " "ACHOO!'' poor little girl transformed back into a pup. The black pup nuzzled into his chest. She stopped sneezing. Cain looked at her proudly. " Looks like she's a pup today or until she sneezes again."
DG sighed. Today was the day they would bury their stillborn. She dragged herself out of bed. She also knew that stupid wolf would show up any moment for the challenge. At least he seemed to be gracious enough to let them bury Dottie first. They walked near the river. Jeb had already dug a grave. DG planned to plant flowers nearby so her daughter wouldn't be lonely. Jeb held Atticus and DG cradled Ambrosia. Cain held on to pup Dahlia. They all put a single rose on her grave. It was a short and bittersweet ceremony.
As they walked up the wolf pack was waiting for them. " The time has come. " said the silver wolf. Cain transformed into his wolf form. The silver wolf continued. " If you win you will be able to talk in wolf form as will your mate and children. " He then snickered. "Not that you will win but I'm supposed to give you the rules." The silver wolf lunged at Wolf Cain. Cain smacked him with his paw.
DG smiled. " Did I mention my fiancee's been training . Go baby! " DG said ,now she was holding pup Dahlia ,who seemed to be watching the fight. Dahlia growled at her dad's enemy. " Good girl ,who'd daddy's little girl ,you are. Tell him to punch the evil wolf."
The silver wolf struck again but this time made contact. Biting in Cain's right front leg. He yelped. Dahlia squirmed out of DG's arms and raced to her father's side. She licked his wounds then turned to the silver wolf. Although tiny and with very little power behind her growl. Her rage knew no bounds. Her fur stuck up and her eyes beemed red. She lunged at the enemy. The silver wolf laughed. With one swift kick he threw the little pup. She went flying and yelped when she landed. Wolf Cain fummed at the mouth.
The other wolves backed up. The silver wolf had broken their code. Never hurt a newborn pup. He was on his own. Wolf Cain striked the silver wolf and sunk his fangs into his neck. The other wolves heard a noise. They turned to see papays coming towards them. Some still loyal to silver wolf fought them and lost. The ones not loyal to their leader anymore ran behind DG. They viewed her as their queen now.
The silver wolf bleeding purfusely saw this. " Traitors! Fine you want him as your new king! See how long he lasts! " The silver wolf raced off with a couple of the papay after him. They weren't about to let their dinner get away. The remaining wolves and papays bowed in front of DG and Wolf Cain.
Wolf Cain ran to Dahlia's side. She whimpered. He licked her. He howled. DG ran over . " What's wrong? Oh my ! Raw we need your help!"
