Chapter 117

TWO YEARS AFTER THAT

There was no chance in the kingdom that I was going to sleep tonight. I was too damn excited. Tomorrow was the day. The day. The one we'd been waiting on for so, so, so long. By the stars, could it come any quicker?

Caleb was downstairs in our manor watching the Pitball final which Leon and Gabriel's wife were playing in. The rest of our friends had gone to the game, all there now in the royal box to watch, but not us. No, because we had an early start tomorrow. A day that would begin a whole new age for me and Cal.

So I'd bought some stuff and things that would spice up the evening, make a sort of last hoorah of life now before it all changed. And as I looked at the basket of glitter, the sparkly ponytail and shimmering pink horn made of silicone in the bathroom, I decided it was time to focus on making my Moon Mate as happy as happy could be.

The bathroom was all Caleb's taste, everything chic, neutral and trendy. He had a good eye for shit like that, and I loved his style, the whole house decorated to the highest quality. Nothing but the best for my Moon Mate.

I stripped out of all my clothes then grabbed the tube of glitter and started my work covering my cock in it, painting a love heart onto my chest too. Then I washed my hands and let the stuff dry – the glitter would soon be like a second skin. Next, I grabbed the pony tail and using some Mino-strength glue to stick it to the base of my spine. I rocked my ass side to side, the tail swishing left and right as I admired myself in the mirror. Fuck, that looked pretty damn good on me.

I used a magical illusion to colour my hair like a rainbow then took out the shining horn which doubled as a vibrator and fixed it onto my head. Finally, I tugged on a glittery pair of purple shorts to finish the look, keeping my sparkle cock for the grand finale.

A grin twisted my lips and I raced out of the bathroom, trying out a trot and a neigh. I'd asked Xavier to give me a few pointers, and he'd even let me go riding with his herd. The guy had grown it to eight members now. A seriously powerful unit that had fast become the strongest in Solaria. Of course, I hadn't told him what my Pegasus studies were for, giving him a mysterious wink when he'd asked whether this had anything to do with Caleb's Pego-fetish, and I reckoned that had thrown him off. I was a wily creature, me.

I trotted into our bedroom with white walls and fluffy grey carpet, my gaze locking on the giant bed. I threw the covers back and dove under them, dragging them over myself to hide.

"Cal!" I called, amplifying my voice.

"Yeah?" he called back.

"Come here!"

I tucked the comforter tighter around me, a laugh leaving me as I heard him shooting this way with his Vampire speed. I was the best Moon Mate ever. He was going to be so damn excited to know he could express himself fully with me. Every kink, every fantasy, I'd be it for him.

I heard him enter the room and stifled a laugh, trying to lay still.

"What are you doing in there?" Caleb asked in amusement, and I neighed in reply. "What the fuck?"

He grabbed the comforter, ripping it off of me, and I reared up, casting an illusion of hooves onto my hands and feet, moving my arms like kicking front legs.

Caleb's eyes widened in shock as he took in my swishy tail and sparkly horn. "Seth," he barked. "What fuck are you doing?"

"It's okay, Cal. I know."

"You know what?" he balked.

"I knowwwwww," I said with a wink, placing a hoof against his chest. "You can be yourself with me. You don't have to hide it."

"Hide what?" he snapped.

Oh my poor, embarrassed little Cal, still unable to fully unveil his inner desires even now.

"That you're horny for the horn," I said, crawling around so my ass was to him and shaking my butt so the tail swished for him. "You can whip me like a bad pony if you like, or ride me like a good one. I'll be your Pegasus Sub, and you can be my Dom. Or do you not want to pretend you're a Pegasus too? Do you like to be the big, bad Vampire claiming his stallion?"

"No I don't," he cursed, not sounding quite as pleased as I was expecting, more ragey than I'd been hoping for, but it was just the walls he'd built between himself and the truth.

"It's okay," I said, looking back at him over my shoulder in earnest. "You can be anything with me, Cal. I want to be a part of this."

"Be a part of what?!" he snarled, his face kinda red and maybe that was what he liked, being all angry when he fucked me like a naughty Pegasus who'd eaten all the carrots. That was how it had been in that video that had gone viral with him and the Pegasex doll. Yeah, that must have been it. He liked to be wild, he wanted to punish his bad bronco.

I neighed, tossing my rainbow hair and Caleb suddenly locked his fist in it, spurring me on into a whinny which was damn impressive thank you very much.

"I don't like Pegasuses," he snarled.

"Do you want me to fight back?" I asked, rolling over and kicking my hands and legs in the air like an over-turned horsey.

"No, I want you take that shit off and never put it near our bed again," he hissed, and I stilled, my lips parting in shock.

"You…don't want this?" I asked in horror. How could I have gotten it wrong? There had to be something to the rumours. Surely I wasn't kidding myself here. I'd picked up on the hints and drawn this conclusion. He was my mate; how could I get it so wrong?

"Of course I don't," he snapped.

"Not even my multi-function horn?" I pressed the button on the horn and it began intermittently spinning, vibrating and thrusting.

Caleb stared at me in stunned silence. "And where is that supposed to go?" he balked.

"Well, I mean…" I shrugged innocently.

"It's my ass, isn't it?" he growled, eyes narrowing. "That is not going anywhere near my ass."

"Did I get it wrong? Do you wanna put the horn on? Do you want me to cast an illusion on your dick so it looks like a horn instead then-"

"No, Seth, I don't want any of this," he insisted.

"I don't judge you for it. I've done all kinds of crazy shit. This is actually one of the least crazy things I've done."

"Are you actually bringing up other people you've fucked right now?"

"I'm just saying I'm totally cool with this. I'm into it if you're into it. There's no shame in being horny for the horn. Look how hot I look in this shit." I flexed my muscles, and Caleb's gaze trailed over my abs.

"Fuck," he exhaled. "You do look hot."

Excitement flared inside me at the breakthrough. "I knew it!"

"No," he snipped. "That doesn't mean I'm horny for the horn, it's just because it's you in all that glitter."

"Sureeee it is, Cal," I said, smirking.

"Dammit, Seth I'm not into Pegasuses."

"Do you wanna see my dijazzle?" I offered, onto him now, knowing his truth. He couldn't admit it out loud, but the way he was looking at me confirmed it. This was getting him hard. And when Cal was hard, I was hard.

Caleb hesitated, his gaze dropping to my shiny purple shorts. "Well… I kind of want to see. Out of curiosity."

I laughed. "Oh you're so fucking hot for Pegas-ass."

"I'm not, I'm hot for you. Now show me the fucking dijazzle." He lunged for me and I laughed harder as we rolled together on the bed, him fighting to pull my shorts off while I scrambled away and butt swished to make the tail slap him in the face. He caught me by the waistband with a growl, ripping the shorts clean off of me and forcing me to roll over.

He eyed my sparkle dick and his eyebrows arched.

"Fuck," he breathed. "That actually is kinda pretty."

I leaned up to whisper in his ear. "Let me be your wild stallion. Break me in like a defiant colt of the hills."

"Stop with the horse sex talk," he demanded, shoving me down again, but his eyes trailed curiously to my cock once more.

I could feel how hard he was, his own dick digging into my hip and giving me all the truth I needed about his kink.

"You will tell no one about this," Caleb warned, his fingers reaching behind me to knot in my tail.

"No one," I breathed, though obviously he didn't include everyone in that statement. Our besties knew all our secrets. And I bet Orion would be happy to know his sanguis frater was having such a great sex life.

Caleb loomed down on me, his fangs extending. "Then neigh for me like a good pony and do exactly what I tell you."

"Shit got weird last night," Caleb muttered to me as we sat in the car waiting for the call that would confirm it was time.

"Was it the Pegasus stuff?" I asked.

"Yeah…"

"I enjoyed it. Would you wanna do it again sometime?"

He fell quiet, his fingers tightening on the steering wheel for a second. "Maybe."

I grinned, thinking of how I could take it to the next level in the future. Maybe a full Pegasus suit with wings and a detachable tail which doubled as a flogger. Yeah…that would be a start.

My Atlas rang and I was so anxious to answer it that I lost my grip on it and it went crashing down into the footwell. I reared forward, hitting my head on the dashboard with a curse, then grabbing it in my hand.

"You good?" Caleb asked and I nodded, healing the mark and giving him a terrified, anxious, hopeful, soul-bursting look before answering the call.

"It's time, Mr Capella," the soft female voice said.

I howled in delight, lunging at Caleb and hugging him. He laughed, taking the Atlas from my hand and listening to what the woman had to say while I crawled into his lap and gripped his shirt in my fists.

When he hung up, I kissed him, then licked him, then howled again.

Caleb drew me into a fierce embrace and we looked at each other, eye to eye, crammed so tight into the space I could hardly breathe.

"They're here," he said. "They're waiting for us."

I threw the car door open, sprinting across the street and a car came speeding toward me from the right. Caleb picked me up with a burst of speed, carrying me out of the road as the car went tearing by, blasting its horn. But I didn't care that I'd almost died, because now it was time to live. Live, live, live and live some more.

I raced into the hospital and the receptionist directed us to a room upstairs. And there, we found them. Two cots side by side and a healer checking over the babies inside.

I lingered in the doorway as Caleb went ahead, suddenly terrified. Because what if I wasn't a good dad? What if I couldn't be everything these little tiny beings needed me to be?

Caleb looked back over his shoulder, emotion burning in his eyes, and I found my strength in him as he beckoned me closer. I might not be perfect, shit, I knew I'd make mistakes, but so long as I had him, I could do this. I could be what they needed because he would be there beside me through it all.

I stopped breathing as my gaze fell on them, those adorable babies crooning softly. We'd had two surrogates inseminated at exactly the same time, their pregnancies planned so one of the kids would hold my genes and the other would hold Caleb's.

"This is the girl," the healer told us, pointing to our beautiful daughter who had strands of soft golden hair which already had a slight curl to it and bright blue eyes. "And here's your baby boy." She gestured to the other one with earthy eyes, slightly darker skin and a dusting of brown hair on his head.

"Don't tell us which one is mine and which is Caleb's," I told the healer firmly, and she shared a confused look with Caleb who snorted a laugh, scooping the little boy into his arms.

"Hey there, little man," Caleb said, kissing his cheek and my heart was fit to burst with happiness.

I carefully scooped up our girl and held her in my arms. She was so small, so precious, and so, so loved. Tears blurred my vision and I blinked them away to see her better.

"Do you have names yet?" the healer asked, and I looked to Caleb who nodded with a blissful smile.

"This is Kale."

"And this is Elara," I announced, the names coming from two of Jupiter's moons. One of the most powerful, lucky planets in the solar system which we hoped would bless them in every way life had to offer. I sensed my parents gathering closer from beyond The Veil, drawn here to see their grandchildren, and I swear I could sense my old pack howling in celebration. Emotion burned a hole in my chest at the loss of them, but as I moved to Caleb's side so I could see our son better, my heart squeezed with love. My pack had fought and died so we could have this chance at life, and I would never stop being grateful to them for that.

Shit, people always said this moment changed you, and I was wholly transformed. We were fathers, me and Cal. The two of us together. And we were going to give these kids the whole wide world.
