I know Dylan isn't excited about this, but I'm fucking giddy. I'm going to be a father!

My pups is having my cubs.

Three of them! He's giving me a whole damn litter and I'm besides myself.

I have to admit that I've been going a little overboard with how much affection I've shown Dylan these last few days. He hates every bit of it, but I'm basking in my parenthood and I don't give one fuck about it. I'm happy as shit.

Well I'm happy now, 2 days ago, I almost flipped my shit as Dylan loves to point out.

He really thought it was still a good idea to continue with the plan that Liam, Taj and Bennett came up with. He still wants to go to the Wolf's Claw and get the evidence necessary to present to the council before the Shadow Pack can attack the Wolf's Claw pack.

Well needless to say, I shut that shit down, I told everyone at dinner a few nights ago that they would have to figure something else out and pups got so upset with me. This would probably be the only time in our lives that I wouldn't care about his anger towards me. He's fucking pregnant, carrying 3 cubs, a seriously high risk pregnancy and he thinks it's a good idea to go back around a pack full of murderers? Trying to find evidence that nobody knows how to even begin to find..

Yeah not happening.

Not with my cubs in his womb.

Oh and pups got upset with me at that dinner because he let it slip that he was pregnant. He said I should have told him to shut up when he started talking about how nauseous he was, but I definitely wasn't going to tell him to shut up and he accidentally made everyone in the pack aware that not only is he pregnant, but carrying a litter. Then he hit me upside the head because I didn't stop him from talking and after that, he cried because the water was too cold and then made me rub his stomach because his back hurt... like shouldn't I have rubbed his back if that's what hurt, nope he said to rub his stomach because his back hurt and even though I was confused from his words and my head hurt because he hit me, I just did what he asked and stayed quiet.

He's crazy.. HEEEELLPP!

________________________

Walking into the livingroom to find my baby sulking on the couch, I rolled my eyes playfully and went to sit next to him.

We were supposed to be waiting for Liam, Taj, Bennett and the other foreign creatures here. Liam said he had a new plan he wanted to get our opinion on because everyone understood that Dylan wouldn't be going back to that pack while he's pregnant.

Nope, somebody's kneecaps would be ripped off before I let that happen.

Plopping on the couch next to my love, I gently nudge his shoulder with my own.

"Go away." He mumbled, turning his body away from me.

"I already told you I'm not going anywhere, especially while you're carrying our cubs." I tell him, placing my hand on his stomach.

I can't wait until he starts showing.

"Can you please just go away?" He asks, subconsciously leaning into my touch.

"No, love." I tell him as he started shifting uncomfortably before turning back to face me with tears in his eyes and much to my surprise, he climbs into my lap then nuzzles his face into my neck.

"I hate you and I love you... I don't want you to touch me, but that's all I want and you fucking get on my nerves." He cried against my neck, all I could do was chuckle and wrap my arms around him. "I hate being so emotional."

"You're pregnant baby, that's normal. It's just your hormones." I whisper back, kissing his shoulder.

"Well I hate my hormones and I don't feel good, everything feels gross and I just want you to hold me, but I'm still mad at you, so don't get too excited Leopard jerk." He sniffles a few times before adjusting himself on my lap.

"Ok pups, I won't get too excited.. I love you."

"I love you too babe." He whines and nuzzles into my neck even further. "Babe, can you give me kisses and cuddles and rub my tummy please."

I smiled at his cuteness. "Of course puppy."

Happily obliging, I plant soft, gentle kisses everywhere I could reach with him practically straddling me right now. He moans in response to my affections before I attempt to adjust his body. Turning him so that he's laying across my lap, instead of straddling me, he leans his head back in the crook of my elbow as I gently rub his tummy, which by the way was so fucking cute. He said tummy, not stomach, not belly, but tummy. He's adorable.

Leaning down the best I could, I place a soft kiss to his belly in between my rubs. Pulling away, I stare it for awhile, a warm smile creeping onto my face. I seriously can not wait for him to start showing, to feel my cubs in there rolling around and kicking and fighting, to learn what makes Dylan nauseous besides garlic, what cravings my cubs give to my mate, what times of the day they get active or sleepy, to watch how much they grow and how cute my mate is going to look with a big belly. It still feels like a dream, my baby is giving me a whole litter.

I'm so excited!

Placing another soft kiss to his belly, I lean back and rest my head on the back of the couch after noticing Dylan had very much fallen asleep on my lap. He's so damn cute, I swear.

|| THREE HOURS LATER ||

____________________________

HELP! HELP! SEND HELP!

Dylan is a hormonal mess.

He loves to point out that I have angry leopard swats when I'm upset, but those are nothing against his angry wolf tantrums he's so eagerly displayed these past three hours.

Crying at a commercial that only involved cubs playing outside, screaming because the batteries in the remote died and I had to replace them, which he said took too long, but in all reality, it only took maybe 2 minutes. Then he threw up because he thought eating a banana was a good idea and then blamed me for allowing him to eat it. Like excuse me sir, you did that on your own and if I would have tried to stop you, I would have gotten bit.

After that, he decided to throw another angry wolf tantrum and hit me, consistently might I add, because of the fact that my scent was turning him on. He said hitting me made sense because it would make his scent fly through the air and cover mine and hopefully stop his dick from getting hard. Like what?

Then he cried about being so emotional, which made him even more emotional and he wanted me to rub his tummy again and talk to our cubs because he said they were irritating him, even though we both know our cubs are nowhere near the size to bother him, but of course, I didn't say that out loud. I did the only logical thing that I could and that was to promptly shut the fuck up, rub his tummy and then talk to my cubs when he was comfortable.

I know how to act around pregnant beings, you absolutely do not get in the way of their food, you don't tell them what to do even if you think something is dangerous, get them whatever they ask for, just do it even if you don't want to, you don't raise your voice or show any forms of frustration and agree with everything they say. Like always. They are always right, even when they're wrong. Just agree and live peacefully.

Shit, if his hormones are out of control already and he's only 4 weeks along, I'm terrified for my health by the time he's 10 weeks along. I've seen how angry felines get by the halfway mark, so I can only imagine how canines are.

THESE PAST THREE HOURS HAVE BEEN HELL... I NEED HELP!

My baby has been extremely affected by his hormones. I don't actually know if it's a wolf thing or just a Dylan thing, but either way, he's angry and this might be the last pregnancy he goes through because I'm going to have gray hairs by the time these cubs are born.

Currently, we're finally at a point to where I have him laying back down on the couch with a warm towel on the back of his neck, I'm sitting on my knees on the floor besides the couch, rubbing his tummy and talking to my delinquent cubs because their dad thinks they are the sole cause of his misery.

AGAIN I SAY.. SEND HELP.

Leaning down and giving his belly another kiss, I quickly do as he asked and talk to my cubs before he gets pissed off again and throws another angry wolf tantrum.

"Alright, now look you three, I need you to take it easy on your dad because you're making his hormones go through the roof and then that makes him angry and he's taking his anger out on me." I frown at his belly, then pretend that my cubs have talked back.

"Hey, don't make me come in there! You may be growing inside an angry wolf, but you don't want to see an angry leopard." I smile at my own silliness.

"You need to tell them that they're getting on my nerves and they need to go to sleep or something because I'm tired of being uncomfortable!" Dylan yells before throwing his wet towel at me, I quickly dodge it and go back to work trying to calm my cubs for their dads sake.

"Alright, so you all heard that. You need to go to sleep because your dad is getting angry again. So please, please settle down or I'll be probably be sleeping on the floor tonight."

Dylan hit me upside the head again.

"Tell them you will put them in time out if they don't listen!" He instructs, so I nod.

"I will put all of you in timeout if you don't listen and trust me, I mean it!" Putting on my best dad voice, I let my cubs have it and that seems to make Dylan finally calm down enough to stop hitting me, so I smile triumphantly and sit next to pups on the couch.

I pick up his legs, placing them across my lap and not a moment too soon because Liam and the gang he brought with him today walk into the livingroom.

Thank you Goddess..

"Good afternoon." Liam smiles at me, then frowns at Dylan. "Everything ok?"

I wanted to send him a look that says 'your son is crazy when he's pregnant', but instead I just smile and tell him something nice because I didn't want to get hit again.

"Everything is great, just pampering my mate."

"Oh, that's great to hear." He tells me, taking a seat along with those he brought with him, which included Taj, Bennett, the elves Quiweeme and Weheil, the witch Eva and the vampire Alaric.

"Hey little brother." Bennett smiles at Dylan, who just waved and closed his eyes.

"Seems like this pregnancy is taking a toll, huh?" Taj asks me and I nod after making sure Dylan's eyes were truly closed.

"So I wanted to run a new plan by you and my son if you're up to it today, if not, we can all come back." Liam says, but I shake my head.

"No, that's ok. I'm ready to listen."

"Well, I know I've mentioned that I didn't want to ask our magical friends here for help, I didn't want to alert anyone to their location, but they have insisted on helping." Liam says then looks at Eva.

"Liam told us about Dylan being pregnant and we couldn't be more happier for you all. That's why we want to offer our help because it seems our family here in the Shadow pack is growing." Eva tells me, with a smile.

"We all have the ability to end this shit before it even begins and we think with our help, things would move a lot quicker and less messy." Alaric says.

"We elves have great abilities, including summoning, telekinesis and mind manipulation." Quiweeme explains, only further confusing me.

"To put it simply, summoning means we can bring any being we come into contact with or have a memory with, to the same area we are located in. Telekinesis means we can move objects with our minds and manipulation means we can control another beings minds, effectively making them do whatever we want to an extent." Weheil explains.

"What's the extent?" I ask nervously.

Goddess, these elves could make me lick their asses if they wanted to. That's terrifying, I mean they're beautiful, but it's terrifying that someone could actually control your mind and make you do whatever they wanted.

"Basically we have to be careful with how much magic we put out into the atmosphere because the Mythic council can become aware of our location, the magic we chose to use and why." Weheil tells me.

Damn there's more councils out there?

"So basically we want to help, but each of us can only help with small gestures." Eva tells me.

"Which is?" I ask.

"I can shadow walk through the Wolf's Claw pack to locate the position of those we seek, further gathering the memory that we need of them." Alaric says.

"Then I will access Alaric's memories, forging with those of Quiweeme and Weheil." Eva says.

"Then we elves will use the memory that we harness to summon those we speak of to the cells here in the Shadow pack, once they are here and locked away, we will then take control of their minds, forcing them to speak the truth of what's transpired in the past. Quiweeme says.

"And after that, I will send the memory of their confession to the Council, they will learn the truth of what's transpired all those fucking years ago and have no choice but to give Liam his lands back." Eva smiles.

I nod in agreement, it all seemed simple enough, but one thing lingered on my mind.

"Why do you all want to help us?" I ask.

"Because of Liam." Eva states simply, the others nod quickly. "He saved our lives and we love him dearly for it, he's never once judged us or turned his nose up at us. Magical creatures aren't the most loved within our world but he never treated us any differently. He's been the friend we all needed and we owe him a great debt. To offer our help to him and his sons is the best way to repay what he's done for us because he's given us a family here within the Shadow pack and we protect our family."

I look at Liam after that and he was nodding, agreeing to his friends plan to help him. I liked the fact that this would be a lot easier than actually going into the Wolf's Claw pack to get our revenge, but I was nervous about what would happen to the other wolves in that pack after the Council learned the truth.

"What would happen to the rest of that pack then? Would the council kill them or order them to leave or something?" I ask.

"The Council has to abide by the law and my loss to Dean 21 years ago was not within the law. They will have no other choice but to give my lands back to me and as far as the other wolves there, once the council learns the truth, I will ask them to spare any wolf that wants to pledge their life and loyalty to me, any wolf that doesn't pledge to me, I have no say so in what happens to them once the council gets their hands on them." Liam explains with a smile this time.

I return it with my own before looking down at Dylan, who was now staring at me quietly. He didn't make a single sound the whole conversation, so I didn't even know he was listening, but judging by the look on his face, he had heard everything and he didn't look happy.

"What's on your mind love?" I ask him.

Dylan stared at me for awhile before looking around the room, he nods to each creature, taking his time to stare at his brother and Taj before his eyes land on Liam and they share the same look. That of love and understanding.

Slowly his frown turns into a smile and Liam's smile widens at the sight of his son's happiness.

Then Dylan looks back at me.

"You asked me what's on my mind." He says, I nod.

He chuckles. "Revenge."
