Chapter 211 The Life of The Alpha Queen’s Mate

Adam woke to find the bed beside him empty and after a brief moment of his wolf’s

blind panic, he managed to calm himself enough to realize that the sound of water Owned by NôvelDrama.Org.

draining noisily down the plughole indicated that Ann had not left him or been taken by

another, but was most likely tending to her aching muscles.

‘You should have seen to that for her already.’ Baldur grumbled, ‘Your human flesh is

weak compared to ours. If you were attentive then you would know that she will be

sore, and aching, and…’

‘Well if you weren’t so damn bestial in your treatment of her in the midst of passion,

then she wouldn’t be so sore in the first place!’ Adam admonished as he threw back

the quilt and began getting dressed.

Baldur snorted.

‘It feels good though… I get carried away… it’s not like you’ve let me out to have any

time with Maeve anyway…’ he replied petulantly. Adam sighed heavily. He was sure

that if Baldur was capable of pouting, then right now, that would be the expression that

he was wearing, instead of the sulky gaze that he directed at him.

‘Look, I know. I’m sorry There just doesn’t seem to be enough time to actually take a

little relaxation for us both as a couple There’s always something going on…’ Adam

said as he tried to placate him.

‘Such is the life of the Alpha Queen’s mate.’ Baldur rumbled, ‘I am surprised her heat

was so short-lived though. If her cycle follows the normal pattern, then I would think

that she is already expecting our pups.’ Baldur grinned toothily as his tail swayed

backward and forward behind him enthusiastically.

Adam’s stomach seemed to flip at the mere notion of Ann’s belly round with pups, and

he couldn’t stop the stupid grin that appeared on his face.

‘Do you really think she might be…?’ He trailed off quietly as Baldur shrugged

nonchalantly.

‘I don’t see why not. It is the true purpose of the heat after all, and it isn’t like you

weren’t active beforehand… it’s our species way of ensuring that the conception is

successful and we continue to thrive.’

‘I know all that Baldur, I just… I didn’t expect that it would happen so quickly. I never

thought that we would ever be at this point with the curse slowly taking everything

from us…’ Adam paused as his grin faded slightly at the memory of everything they

had suffered, before laughing in disbelief.

‘It still blows my mind the insane streak of luck that brought the sequence of events

about that introduced us in the men’s toilets of a bar known for its discretion… the one

place that I thought I would be safe from running into anyone else.’ Adam shook his

head and smiled at the sheer insanity of the situation.

‘That wasn’t luck Adam, it was fate. The Moon Goddess watches over us all, even

though we don’t know it most of the time.’ Baldur advised sagely as the door to the

bathroom swung open and Ann sauntered casually into the room, still rubbing at her

hair with a towel. Their eyes met and as Adam drank the sight of her in, Ann’s eyes

narrowed as she noticed the way that he was eyeing her hungrily.

“No” She announced firmly, pointing her finger at him as if telling him off, “No more

s*e*xy time, Adam. I hurt all over, let’s rest today, okay?” The grin on his face

confused her and her frown deepened “You don’t need me inside of you?” Adam

asked teasingly as he approached her, stopping only when her palms landed firmly on

his chest and held him at bay, as she refused to allow him to embrace her.

“Adam… don’t you dare even think about it! Right now, that is the last thing I want.”

She warned, “What I want is to be left alone to sleep for a million years… and if I can’t

do that… then I at least want to wallow in self-pity while I stuff my face with the largest

Black Forest Gateaux that you have ever seen in your life.” Ann smirked as Adam

laughed heartily.

“Ordinarily, I would be offended, but I’ll let you off this time.” He chuckled goodnaturedly, “If this is what my Queen desires, then I shall hunt down the finest cake that

I can find so that you can recover in peace” Adam grinned, bowing theatrically as she

giggled at his antics.

“Not just any cake though, Adam Black Forest Gateaux specifically, okay?” she

pouted as she allowed Adam to pull her close against his chest as he smiled down at

her indulgently.

“Don’t worry. I got it. my Queen. I’ll make sure I get the right one.” He said softly as he

planted a gentle kiss on her forehead and hesitated a moment before continuing. “Do

you hurt that badly?”

“It’s a little belter after a long soak, but yes, I don’t think saying that I’m a little sore

really does the discomfort justice.” she grimaced. “I’m sorry Ann. I didn’t mean to…”

“Il’s fine, Adam. I’m fully aware the first heat is always rough so I was sort of expecting

it., and after my conversation with Maeve… I’m more than a little grateful it was so

short-lived.” She chuckled as she wrapped her arms tightly around him, and buried

her head in his chest, inhaling the warm, comforting scent that he exuded naturally.
