CHAPTER 127

Dominik

Holding Aurora's hand, we walk through the halls of her mother's castle. She glances around, not really looking at anything. Just looking lost in thought as we make our way over to where Elsa has her makeshift medical office. "Are you okay, babe?" I lightly bump her shoulder, trying to get a reaction out of her.

Her hand moves over her lower stomach then motions to the castle. "Is it wrong that I'm not ready to be here yet?" She turns to fully face me and her eyes are that of her beast, betraying her stress level.

"Not at all, love. We can go anywhere you wish." Gently, I place my palm on her lower back and lightly rub it. "You've made some tough discoveries here. You tell us where you want to go, and we'll leave immediately," I say softly, kissing her temple.

Aurora breathes in deeply before letting the breath she was holding out slowly. "I'd like to go back to Klaus's pack lands." Her eyes lock on mine before she stands on her tippy toes to kiss me softly.

"Your wish is my command, my love." I hug her tightly before we approach Elsa's door. Three short knocks later and she opens the door, ushering us inside.

"So good to see you, sweetheart." Elsa embraces Aurora tightly, then hugs me as well. "So you think you're with pup again?" She smiles as she leads Aurora over to the lounge chair and helps her lay down.

"Elsa, it's only been a few days since my heat ended. I don't believe it's possible to tell already, is it?" Aurora asks curiously.

I shrug my shoulders when Aurora looks at me then we both turn our focus on Elsa. "There's always a way to tell, little one. Especially for a female that has given birth before." Elsa smiles then starts to palpate Aurora's stomach. Apparently, Aurora has a ticklish spot near her hip bone I wasn't aware of. Interesting.

"Hopefully, making me laugh will give us answers, Elsa," Aurora says, still giggling, trying to keep a straight face.

"Well, on the bright side, you are definitely carrying offspring." Elsa smiles, then looks at me, then back to Aurora. "The end of next month, I'll have a better idea of a due date." Elsa helps Aurora back up to her feet then kisses both of her cheeks. "Congratulations, momma." Elsa hesitates coming over to me but does so anyway.

The look on Aurora's face says it all. She's pretty sure whose baby she's carrying by her beast's reaction. She lowers her eyes and looks away from Elsa and me. Once Elsa releases me, I move to embrace Aurora and kiss her.

"Babe, mine and my brother's time will come." Gently, I kiss her lips and nuzzle her cheek. "I love you, and that's all that matters." I pull back slowly and lick my lips. "Besides, you get some sexy curves when you are pregnant." I wink playfully at her, and she lightly slaps my arm.

"You're so naughty, Dom!" Aurora smacks me several more times and each smack makes her laugh even harder.

"Ow ow ow, I'm being attacked by the great white beast." I shriek in mock horror and fake tremble in terror. Elsa rolls her eyes at me, and Aurora giggles louder. The rest of our bond mates join us just in time to watch Aurora slap my ass. The crisp sound of her hand impacting my muscular ass echoes around the room. The sting left behind makes my cock stir in anticipation. Apparently, I enjoy being spanked these days. More than likely, it's because my beloved mate smacked my ass.

"Dom! You hurt my hand with your firm ass." Aurora waves her injured hand in my face.

Quickly, I snatch her hand and examine her red palm. Softly, I kiss every single inch of her hand, making sure the booboo is all better. I smirk at her then scrunch my nose. "All better precious?"

Aurora takes her hand back and looks at it. "Yes, much. Thanks, Dom." She kisses my cheek then turns to our bond mates. "I'm definitely pregnant again, according to Elsa." Aurora looks over to Elsa and smiles at her.

She steps away from me and sighs. "I'm not ready to reside here yet. I'd like to return to Klaus's pack lands." She locks eyes with Klaus, and he smiles and dips his head, then leaves the room.

"Please make preparations for our departure. I'd like to leave as soon as possible," Aurora says softly, then reaches back for me. Moving quickly, I grab her hand, and she drags me out of the room and down the hall.

Several twists and turns later, she has us outside and heading towards the woods. I have no clue what my mate is up to. She's up to no good, whatever it is. We walk for at least twenty minutes before she stops and looks around. I prepare to say something, and she raises a single finger to me as she focuses on the sounds around us. Aurora has that wicked gleam in her eye as she sizes me up.

"Dom, baby, it's been a long time since you've hunted me." Aurora hits a sultry tone that has my cock hard and throbbing in seconds.

She approaches me and starts unbuttoning my shirt painfully slow. Gunmetal-grey eyes lock with mine as she pulls my shirt free from my pants. Fingertips ghost over my shoulders and slide my shirt down my arms. I feel like her prey; I feel as if I am to be the one hunted. With sure fingers, my belt is removed and the buttons on my jeans undone. Aurora slips her hands inside my pants, her palms flush with my hips as she slides my jeans to the ground. On her knees before me, she looks up at me, her beast fighting for control. Her tongue darts out of her mouth and lightly touches the underside of my hard shaft from root to tip. Aurora stands before me and begins to unbutton her shirt. I feel her eyes roam over my body like a lover's caress. She drops her shirt on top of mine, then removes her leggings, adding them to the pile.

"Catch me if you can!" Aurora says before taking off, running deeper into the forest.

My Dire Wolf rips free of his human shell, and my paws hit the ground at a run. I dare not howl and call the others to me. This is what my mate desires, and I shall do exactly what she wishes. Aurora darts in and out of the trees, keeping just far enough ahead that she's barely out of reach. I nip playfully at her heels, enjoying the chase.

Up ahead, I see a nice mossy area, and my gut tells me this is where the chase will end. Aurora stops suddenly and drops to all fours facing me. Her head tilts to the side in submission, awaiting my approach. Lightly, I press my wet nose to her throat. Carefully, opening my mouth wide, I take her delicate throat in my teeth. A low growl escapes my lips as I apply a tiny bit of pressure. Her scent shifts immediately, her arousal intoxicating and makes me start to salivate.

As I release her throat, she begins to whine and wiggle her ass in the air. Her scent surrounds me and drives me insane. I circle her several times before I come up behind her and lick her wet folds. Aurora's beast rumbles in appreciation as I lap up her sweet sticky moisture. My cock is throbbing and starting to protrude from its sheath. My muzzle rubs along her hips, and she drops down onto her forearms, fully presenting herself to me. I want to howl so badly right now; my dominant alpha mate is in full submission. Quickly, I rear up and mount her, shoving my engorged shaft deep within her.

My thrusts are slow and methodical. It's something about taking her like this that I savor so much more. I'm mindful of my dewclaws, making sure they don't rip up or tear her delicate human flesh. My paws grip her tighter as I feel her channel starting to quiver around me. Turning my head sideways, I bite her back, sinking my teeth into her flesh. Her orgasm detonates around my shaft, pulsing and milking it for everything I'm worth. It doesn't take long for my balls to start to draw up tight. Several more thrusts, and I sink my shaft deeply into her, my mating knot locking me in place. My seed spurts out in pulses, coating her womb. Carefully I shift back to my human form and release her flesh from my mouth. I'm still locked deep within her as I wrap my arms around her and roll us onto our sides. The aftershocks from our orgasms still rack our bodies for a while longer. Lightly, I trace Aurora's ribs down to her abdomen. Lovingly, I place feather-light kisses along her shoulder.

"Hmm, I've missed that, Dom," Aurora says breathlessly. She reaches back and runs her hand over my arm.

"It's definitely something special between you and I, love," I say as I run the tip of my nose over her shoulder blade. Sighing softly, I press my lips to her skin. "It's nice to just relax and not be on edge all of the time." I wrap my arms tightly around her, holding her flush to my chest. My mating knot is finally loosening up, and I can start to move again. My hand slides down her body to her mound; I circle her clit, drawing out soft moans from her.

Suddenly, she pulls away and shoves me on my back. Her beast is in full control, and her canines have descended. "Such a bad boy, Dom." She smiles, looking down at me as she takes my length deep within her.

Slowly, she rocks her hips setting a rhythm that is maddening: not fast, yet not slow. It's a pace that keeps you on the edge of falling into absolute bliss. I go to grip her ass, and she slaps my hands away and pins them to my chest. A low growl escapes her lips as she presses down on my wrists. "I'm in control here, baby. You lie back and be a good mate and stay hard for me."

She winks at me as she changes her angle, and I feel the first quivers of her impending orgasm. I'm fighting like all hell trying to hold off from coming before her. Apparently, I love being dominated by her, just like she does with me. Suddenly, she pulls me to sit up, pushing me deep within her. Finally, I have control of my arms again. I use one to brace me to say upright and my free hand goes straight to her clit rubbing it furiously. Her orgasm hits her like a tidal wave, and her mouth descends, and her canines sink deep into my shoulder. My mouth grips her shoulder as I sink my teeth deep into her flesh. We buck and writhe together, riding the wave of our orgasm.

Aurora's giggles break me out of the bliss bubble I was in. I pull back gently to look into her eyes, and she points up to the tree. Arnulf apparently watched the whole thing. I wave at him. "Taking notes, brother?" I say half-jokingly.

Arnulf drops from the tree and shifts before his feet hit the ground. "Kinda? But seriously, everyone is ready to leave when you return." He looks back in the direction of the castle.

"Nicodeamus and Helle are opting to stay behind to oversee the construction. Um, I'll meet you back at the castle." Before we have the chance to say anything, he shifts and takes off, heading back home.

"I guess we should get going," I say as I shrug my shoulders at her.

"Sadly, yes. Damn adulting…" Aurora giggles and shifts into her hybrid beast, then takes off in the direction we came.

Shifting quickly, I close the distance between us. I swear I think I've gotten faster since becoming her mate. We tear through the forest and head back to where our clothing was left. By scent, I know my brother was here. Jayce thoughtfully left baby wipes as well as drinks for us. Aurora smiles as she lightly touches the presents Jayce had left for us before cleaning herself up and getting dressed.

She passes me the wipes and then a drink when I'm all cleaned up. We pick up our garbage and start walking back hand in hand. "You're a good mate, Dom, I'm lucky to have you," Aurora says softly as she wraps her free hand around my bicep. She hugs my arm tightly and leans her head on my shoulder.

Moving fluidly, I slide in front of her, dropping the bag and gently grip her chin to raise her gaze to meet mine. "I'm the lucky one, love."

A smile crosses my lips as I tilt my head. "You saved Jayce and my people from our father's reign of terror." Gently, I stroke her jawline. "You gave Jayce a choice to accept you or to stay with his boyfriend. I don't know of anyone who would have done that for him." Lightly, I kiss her lips. "I've seen monsters, first-hand, love, you are not a monster." Tears well up in her eyes as she looks at me. Her plump bottom lip quivers as she tries to hold back the emotions she's feeling.

"I love you, Aurora, now and forever." I pull an intricate band out of my pocket and show it to her. It's made in the shape of a wolf. Raising my hand, I run my fingers through her thick, white tresses till I find a braid. Carefully, I pull it out and undo some of her braid, and then weave the charm into it. The wolf sits in the middle of her hair braid where she can pull it forward and look at it.

Aurora grips her braid and touches the wolf sitting there. Her eyes flicker to her beast for a moment, then back to human as she regards my gift. "Jayce and I had it made so you would have a bit of us with you always," I say, watching her examine the present.

"It's perfect, Dom, you and Jayce did wonderfully." She smirks, then bounces up and kisses me. "We better get going before they come looking for us." She giggles then takes off at a sprint, following the path back.

It doesn't take long to make it back to the castle, and not shocking the dragons are all shifted, and everyone is waiting. Aurora shrugs her shoulders and mouths oops at me, then runs to Alaric and the babies. I hate flying... Unfortunately, it's the fastest way to get us where we need to be. Marco is apparently my ride today. My goofy twin is dancing on his back, singing to himself.

Hesitantly, I climb up onto Marco's back and take my seat between his wings. Jayce comes and sits beside me and leans against my shoulder. "So? Did she like it?"

Nodding slowly, I pat my brother's thigh. "Yeah, she loved it. I braided it right into her hair." Jayce visibly relaxes.

"Do you think we'll have pups next?"Jayce asks hopefully.

I can't help but laugh and shake my head. "How would we tell whose is whose? We're twins." Laughter escapes my lips as I try to contain it. Other than eye color, there would be no real way till they come of age.

"You're right. It'll be nice to have pups running around the den, though." Jayce starts laughing as Marco takes off.

"Alaric will be more at a loss with more wolves in the house." Jayce has a point, and I start laughing right along with him.

"Only time will tell, brother. For now, let's enjoy each litter as they come and wait for our chance," I say confidently, trying to reassure my brother. He nods slowly and moves to lie on his stomach. Damn, he's got a great idea. Moving carefully, I lie on my stomach with an arm wrapped around a spine on Marco's back. Jayce shakes his head at me before closing his eyes to sleep. I look around one last time before closing my eyes to enjoy a much-needed nap.
