Aurelia

(n.) the golden one

♡

My mom had adjusted incredibly well to the pack life, seeing her smile as Grant joked around, seeing her talking animatedly with Lilly just like I did. It warmed my heart and made me feel complete, even though I know my dad wasn't here, he was in spirit. His soul was smiling down at us, happy we'd found each other again, finally giving him the peace he so desperately deserved, more than anything. 

Dark Moon had even accepted her as theirs, when Arrax held a meeting a couple of days ago. Their howls still etched into my mind by the thought of having two Aurelias on their side, it meant the world to me how easily they'd allowed me to be here and feel loved and accepted, how easily they took my mom under their wings. 

She was an official part of the Dark Moon Pack now, and knowing that she was protected for the rest of her life gave me peace in my soul. 

Standing on the balcony in my new bedroom I shared with my mate, I looked over the dense woods, reminiscing of when I was out there, frightened and alone. My mom had asked me what had happened to me out there, it was hard opening up about it, I'd barely done that to Arrax before, but he was in the room, too, when I talked about it. 

Both of them got my entire story, from when I left my childhood to when I arrived at my future. Arrax couldn't help but snarl a few times, when I gave them details of the nights at the pub where I had to show attackers my Aurelia side to scare them off. He didn't want to think about me with others, he didn't want to hear about me being hurt, but it was the reality and I promised to tell them. 

A sigh left my lips as I leaned my arms on the balcony railing, closing my eyes as the winds picked up, blowing my hair to the side. It was calming feeling like this, nerves weren't anywhere in sight, only a slow and relaxed heartbeat as I considered what was going to happen in a few minutes. 

It was going to be the most important thing in my life, and my heart fluttered by the thought of how insane it was. 

The door opened in the room, but I stood still in the same position, allowing myself to breathe deeply before I faced the inevitable. Arrax came up behind me and grabbed my hips, as he hugged me his lips found my ear, "I might as well just fuck you right here, ms. Havoc." He whispered, provoking a shiver to twirl down my spine. 

Turning around, my hands landed on the back of his neck, as his held around my waist, his thumb caressing the bare skin when he lifted my shirt a little. Locking our gazes I tried to settle down my nerves again, this wasn't the time to be nervous, it was important.

"What's going on in that colorful mind of yours?" He huskily asked, smiling lightly at me. His lips met my forehead, causing jitters in my stomach as his scent filled my entire being. 

"This is harder than I thought it would be." I declared, searching his face, remembering every little detail. 

"Why is it hard then?" His soft voice made my knees weak, I loved how he acted around me. 

Pondering for a second, "I guess it's hard because I want you to know, but I don't want to tell you."

"Just tell me, baby, I don't bite." He said as a small smirk landed on his lips, "Unless you want me to, that is." I couldn't help but laugh at him, he joined in and suddenly my body relaxed completely in his arms, this was the man I was destined to be with, I really shouldn't be this scared. 

Taking a deep breath, my eyes met his and our gazes melted together, his scent overtook everything as the words fell from my lips, "I'm with a pup." His eyes widened slightly, his mouth forming an 'O' shape. 

Please don't hate me, please. 

"You're... pregnant?" He asked, flabbergasted to his fingertips. 

Nodding at him a small smile on my lips, "Currently working very hard to create the little life that came to be from our love."

It took a few seconds for him, before he pulled me into his body, hugging me tightly but being careful not to hurt my stomach. "Oh shit.." He whispered against my hair, "We're having a pup." 

He pulled away, cupping my face as a huge smile enveloped his lips, "Baby, we're going to have a little version of us running around," Pausing a smirk lit up his handsome face, "You're going to be one hell of a sexy mom."

I laughed at him, kissing him quickly on the lips, "I love you, Arrax. We're going to be parents." 

"I love you so fucking much." He answered, the excitement very clear in his eyes. "I'm gonna be a dad! Holy fuck."

He grabbed my hips, pulling me to the bed where he guided me down. A sexy smirk on his lips taunted me as he removed his shirt, showing me his perfectly toned body. 

"We're going to celebrate right now, you're too sexy, there's no stopping me now." He huskily said.

"I wasn't going to." I smirked at him.
