The day of our wedding.

The skies were clear and there was a few speckle of clouds moving in the sky. Wonderful weather for a union in a private garden.

Several chairs wrapped with white ribbons were lined together, giving space to a narrow aisle for Asche to walk down. I stood with my hands slightly trembling under a dome-shaped gazebo with vines lacing through the gorgeously designed dome with iron swirls.

Our close relatives were in attendance, all giving me encouraging smiles as my nerves soared. Today is the day that I'll officially become Asche's and he, mine. Just beyond the grove of trees that bordered the concrete walkway, Asche would eventually emerge.

I breathed in and out, anxious to set my eyes on my beautiful mate.

My eyes glanced ahead just as Asche appeared from beyond the trees, holding a bouquet of flowers in his hands, dressed in a white, sharply tailored suit that fit his form superbly. A timid smile curved on his lips as our eyes met then soft music began to play.

He walked with his brother, Devin, who offered to accompany him because his father was deceased now and I highly doubted that he would have allowed that man to get ten feet near him. Asche was more than happy to accept his offer. Asche was a few inches taller than Devin but they both looked identical.

Both brothers drew towards me step by step as the music played to their entrance. Zyaire gurgled from where she sat in Felicia's lap, wearing a cute white dress. I smiled at her. I felt complete having everyone here. Kirk, Felicia, Falcon, and Stephon with their beautiful daughter, Noelani who slept peacefully in her father's arms.

We are a family now and this day marks a new beginning for our growing family. My eyes lowered to Asche's stomach that showed no signs of pregnancy. Who would have known that he conceived that day he seduced me?

A smile tugged on my lips as he drew nearer to me, oozing radiance. His chestnut hair was slicked back from his face and his hazel eyes glowed with delight. He looked breathtakingly stunning.

I held my breath when he stopped in front of me and Devin let him go, nodding at me with a smile. I tipped my head, taking Asche's hand in mine, who thanked Devin, gracing him with a wide smile.

"You look ravishing," I whispered in his ear.

A slow smile split on his lips. "Not as ravishing as you, Mr. Hot Stuff. I can undress you right here, right now but we have an audience," He complimented lowly, wiggling his brows.

I chuckled, giving his hand a fond squeeze. "You're a beautiful ray of light on a rainy day."

"You're a warm flame glowing inside of me every day, lighting up my world beautifully."

"Oh, mate," I fought the urge to stroke his cheek.

The minister cleared his throat eliciting snickers from behind us, causing Asche to chuckle. We turned to face him, and he began the ceremony.

"I ask you each now to repeat the marriage vows." The minister dressed in a long white robe said.

I swallowed a lump in my throat as my eyes stung with tears of elation. Asche held my gaze, saying his vows, "I, Asche Daxon take you, Drakos Armander for my wedded husband, to love and cherish, for better or for worse, for richer or for poorer, in sickness and in health, from this day forward."

I saw the tears brimming in his eyes as I said my vows, holding his hands with the deepest love I could transfer into our touch and gaze. "I, Drakos Armander take you, Asche Daxon for my wedded husband, to love and cherish, for better or for worse, for richer or for poorer, in sickness and in health, from this day forward."

The minister took the rings and blessed them, issuing them to us to exchange.

We repeated another vow before Asche slipped the ring on my finger and I followed, slipping his slightly smaller one on. He smiled just as I did. I mouthed I loved him and he blushed, returning my words.

"You may now seal your vows with a kiss," He announced and I wasted no time in claiming his lips in a possessive kiss. There were cheers and everyone stood up to applaud us. Asche held on to me as we sealed our lives officially, becoming The Armanders.

"I present to you, The Armanders."

We turned to face our relatives, who were now standing, whistling and cheering, with smiles plastered on their faces. Zyaire giggled and clapped her hands as well, going with the flow. We both smiled as I wrapped my hands around my husband, feeling complete and beyond happy.

I had it all now, a husband, a beautiful daughter, and another child on the way. Moreover, I had a supporting family. I was thrumming with pleasure. Zyros roared in my chest, feeling fulfilled, itching to break through and soar into the sky, breathing out fire.

Soon. I assured him.

I want to feel our mate in our arms, accepting our love. I want to see Atlier and romp with him.

Just be patient. I laughed mentally. It will soon occur. Let us mingle with our family first and then we can bask on our honeymoon.

Fair enough. He settled in a sleeping position, his eyes trained on our mate.

"Congratulations!" Stephon opened his arms just as we stepped down to greet them, taking Asche in a hug after passing Noelani to Falcon.

"Thank you," Asche patted him on the back, smiling.

"I'm happy for you both." Felicia enveloped me in a hug, holding Zyaire on her waist. She reached for me and I took her, kissing her on the cheek, causing her to giggle. Kirk shook my hand after she released me.

"I hope you have lots of spirits stocked up in that marvelous house of yours. You're gonna need it." He teased and I chuckled, amused by his remark.

"Oh, I know just how to tame him." I glanced at Asche who quirked a brow at me, having heard the conversation.

"We'll see about that."

After we all exchanged a few words, we all said our goodbyes with Felicia taking Zyaire with her, leaving Asche and me to spend our honeymoon together. Devin, Stephon, and Falcon left before they did, wishing us well.

We drove to a Lakehouse that I bought a month ago, that sat in the heart of the forest, a quiet area where both of our dragons can fly in peace.

"It's so beautiful out here." He gasped, glancing out of the window of the vehicle.

"You'll love it even more when you get inside," I told him, driving down the dirt road.

We stopped outside a two-story wooden house, with a bench on the front porch, and a ribbon of water flowing at the rear. Asche got out slowly, taking in his surroundings. The house was made solely out of wood, yet it was still in good standing.

I shut the door and came over to him, hoisting him in my arms and kicking the door closed. He snickered and held on to me as I walked to the welcoming house.

Keying the door open, I stepped in and gently placed him down. He whistled and went further in as I closed the door, admiring the decor.

"I want to make love under the moonlight." He said, turning to face me, a seductive glint in his eyes.

I stopped in my tracks, studying him. "There's a bed outside surrounded by silk curtains. I'm sure you'd find that to your liking."

He smiled, coming over to me, tugging my loosened necktie.

"That sounds lovely. Why don't we take a bath, my dashing husband, and see where the evening takes us." He kissed me on the lips, his eyes blazing with lust.

My cock jerked awake.

"Of course my lusty mate," I whispered.

***

Asche moaned in pleasure as I held his body to mine, piercing his tender flesh with my ramrod cock. I moved slowly, sensually, building up his pleasure, tugging gasps from his parted lips, contorting his beautiful features with exploding desire.

We made love in the moonlight as promised, with my mate writhing beneath me as my sweat-glistened body drove into his, marking him, claiming him, devouring him. His hair laid tousled on the silk pillows after we switched positions. A magnificent sight that almost drove me over the edge.

I was careful with him as he was carrying our child. I lowered myself and possessed his lips, moving my hips in a slow pleasurably agonizing motion that made him want more, whimpering as he was soaked in pleasure, each stroke delivering a warm passion that slowly rose as the night crawled on.

"My mate," I whispered against his lips, my body shuddering as his flesh gripped me excellently.

"My everything," He moaned out, almost in tears as he couldn't contain the pleasurable sensations soaring through his veins.

"I love you to the end of time. I love you with every fiber of my being." I caressed his hair, thrusting into him.

He gasped, cupping the back of my neck as I struck his spot, "Oh! I love you so much. Words can't explain what I feel for you. Please, don't leave me. I promise I'll be a better person."

I kissed his forehead. "I have no intention of leaving you. I love you, flaws and all. Never doubt yourself."

Tears started to stream down his face and soak the sheet and I brushed them away.

"What's wrong, love?"

"I'm just so happy. I can't believe I'm loved and I have a family. This was always a distant dream to me. Thank you for loving me." He wept.

"Oh, love." I kissed him again. "Hush now. It should be me thanking you. You gave me all I could ask for and more. So don't cry. I want you to remember this night well. Focus on the present." I thrust into him, causing him to roll his eyes closed, causing the tears to let loose.

"Drakos...!" He shuddered, orgasming.

"Yes, love. Here it comes. Take my seed."

My body tensed and I gritted my teeth as my cock pulsed, coating his insides with my semen.

His cock jerked his fluid between us as we released our sex cries in the silent night.

We laid there, entangled, staring at the star-littered sky.

***

Hours later, we transformed into our dragons and took to the sky.

Zyros was utterly smitten by Atlier, sniffing him and fawning over him. Atlier loved the attention, nudging Zyros ever so often.

They both sat at the lake, gazing at the moonlight. Atlier showed signs of pregnancy, surprisingly. Where Zyros' stomach was flat and well-formed to his body, Atlier's was much bigger, hanging low.

I questioned Zyros about it, confused by the fact that Asche isn't showing but Atlier is. He explained that the pregnancy was transferred to Atlier and that Atlier wants to deliver instead.

I was baffled by it but Asche seemed okay with it, so I didn't question it any further.

They played by the lake, with Atlier freezing the lake with his frost, gliding along it, and Zyros melting it with his fire causing steam to evaporate in the air.

Zyros kept a keen eye on his mate, always vigilant in case if a wild animal emerged.

It was a wonderful bonding experience for them both as they ventured through the forest and caught prey, eating them and simply frolicking about.

Before we knew it, dawn was upon us so we shifted back, walking hand in hand, naked, back to the lakehouse.

"I can't believe Atlier decided to carry our baby. How do you think he'll deliver it?" Asche asked.

"I have no idea and I'd rather not think about it. Time will tell." I replied, hoping it wouldn't be as difficult as Asche's.

So our honeymoon lasted three days and we moved into our new home that was big enough to house an entire soccer team.

***

Three months later...

Unbelievable.

Atlier laid on several blankets that we spread out in the backyard of the lakehouse, making pitiful sounds as his rear dilated ever so often slowly revealing a giant egg.

I can't believe I'm witnessing a dragon give birth. I felt Zyros' pain as he watched Atlier deliver our child. He felt helpless, wanting to comfort his mate. All I could've simply do is rub his stomach and soothe him with words of comfort and encouragement.

Felicia was present, leaving the other three guys to prepare the towels and blankets as well as warm bathwater.

I stroked his stomach, "You're doing great, love. Almost there."

Atlier made agonizing sounds as the egg slowly came out. About twenty minutes later, a large egg gushed from his body and settled on the blanket. I gazed at it in shock as Felicia cleaned it. Atlier's head slumped down, worn out.

I heard Zyaire's playful giggles from beyond the house and smiled. She must be having the time of her life. With Stephon and Noelani being present, Zyaire went wild.

I went over to Atlier and stroked his snout. Are you okay?

Yes. Do not worry about me. Is our child alright?

I moved over to Felicia who gasped. "It's hatching!" She exclaimed.

I kneeled down in front of the off-white egg that had several cracks in it that multiplied gradually.

Felicia slowly removed a piece of the egg, revealing a small baby, with tiny wings on his back. As soon as Felicia removed it, he started wailing. I reached for him, who was covered in a clear fluid.

Ever so gently, I brought him over to Atlier who made a contented sound when I placed him near his body.

So precious. He said, already in love with our child.

What does Asche think?

He's absolutely enamored. He wants to shift back right now. Atlier chuckled.

Are you okay with that? I asked.

I'm exhausted anyway, so it is not an issue. Suddenly, a mist engulfed him and in place of Atlier's large body was Asche's smooth, naked one.

"Oh my gosh, he's so precious." Asche leaned up on his elbow and stroked our now quiet newborn.

He had the same auburn hair like Zyaire and the wings were now gone, having shrunk into his skin. Was it because he was born from Atlier instead? I still had more questions.

I gently gave him to Asche, not noticing that Felicia discreetly excused herself. I wrapped my hands around him as he held our son.

"Did you come up with a name as yet?" I asked, gazing down lovingly at them both.

"Aidan," He said, cradling our child in his arms. "It means little fire. A perfect name for him."

I smiled, agreeing with him. "He is indeed our little fire."

Felicia came over and draped a blanket over Asche and offered to take Aidan inside to wash him up. Asche reluctantly agreed and I helped him into the house where Falcon, Kirk, and Stephon were playing with Zyaire who was giggling at the top of her lungs as they chased her.

When she spotted us coming in she ran towards us and I picked her up and swung her in the air, eliciting more giggles. Stephon offered to help Asche wash up while I followed Felicia to tend to baby Aidan.

Zyaire was amazed by him. She stared at him inquisitively, as Felicia cleaned him.

"Dada?" She asked.

"Hm?" I kissed her cheek.

"Baba?" She reached for him but I held her back.

"You mean baby? Yes, love. That's your baby brother. I'll let you play with him as soon as your aunt's done."

Her lips trembled and her eyes got watery.

I sighed.

"Just a sec honey bee, auntie's almost finished. There. He's all wrapped up and ready to go. Why don't you have a seat, Drakos so that you can hold them both?" She suggested, tipping her head and the comfortable chair in the corner of the nursery.

I went over and took a seat, sitting Zyaire on one thigh and accepting Aiden in my free hand. He was fast asleep, his lips pressed in a pout. Zyaire reached out and lightly touched the swaddle blanket, gazing at Aiden in awe.

"Mine?" She asked, gazing at me with wide eyes.

I smiled and nodded, kissing her forehead. "He's ours, my little darling."

Her rapid development will never cease to amaze me. She wasn't even a year old as yet and her speech was astonishing. This is my first time breeding outside of my race, so it baffled me.

Nonetheless, I was open to every new development each day. Now that we had a new addition to the family, I can experience it all over again.

Asche walked in, dressed in pajamas and a robe, with his feet snuggled in bedroom slippers.

"I'll go and help with dinner." Felicia excused herself, leaving us in private.

"Zyaire, come to daddy," He reached out for her and she happily leaned over so that he can take her. I got up and gestured for him to have a seat. He lowered himself slowly, sighing.

"This feels magnificent."

"Are you hurting anywhere?" I asked.

He hummed. "Not really. There's only a dull throb in my you know what."

"I'm relieved." I released a sigh of relief. "You're ready to hold him?" I walked over to him.

"Of course I am." He positioned Zyaire securely on his lap taking Aidan with ease.

I took in the sight before me and smiled. My beautiful mate and our adorable children.

Aidan had a small patch of hair on top of his head, with barely visible freckles splashed across his cheeks just like his sister.

Asche looked stunning as he held our child in his arms. I leaned in and kissed his forehead, then Zyaire's, then Aiden's.

"I love you all." I proclaimed, a burst of affection filling me.

He smiled up at me, hazel eyes overflowing with love, "We love you more, my healing balm."
