Amelia ordered the chef to make a meal I could digest easily when we came in. I wanted to tell her not to worry, but my stomach rapidly betrayed me. Without letting me down, Fenris asked one maid to prepare a bath for us.

I tugged on his ears to tell him it was unnecessary. Instead, he growled at my treatment before ignoring me. Ben showed Amara to the living room. Hesitantly, Melody went in, too, unsure of her surroundings.

Though Liam dragged her inside before sitting her on the couch next to him, even the maids called him young master. This was all too surreal. Instead of entering the living room, Fenris followed one maid upstairs to the bathroom.

"It’s about time we’re treated with respect!" She smirked, wagging her tail.

It took only a few minutes for the maid to finish what she was doing inside, leaving the room to ourselves. Setting me down on the floor, Fenris led me inside to reveal what looked like a pool rather than a bathtub.

I glanced between it and Fenris, confused about what we were supposed to do. Shade hopped off my shoulder to paw the water with rose petals floating on it. This was too luxurious.

"It’s so warm!" She informed me.

“You don’t even like the water.” I sighed, shifting my eyes towards my wolf, who whisked off his clothes.

All I could do was flutter my eyes, studying every detail of his body. After finishing his clothing, he reached towards me and seized mine off. I could only stare at him, who chuckled and enjoyed my innocence.

He undid the laces on my dress before kissing me lightly on the lips. After he was done, he reached under my skirt to remove my underwear, letting the dress fall on its own.

"Come..." he murmured in my ear.

Slowly, he led me to the stairs that allowed entrance to the giant tub. However, it seemed to be a pool more than anything else. Flower petals floating on the water stuck to his fair skin as he led me into the water that was as warm as Shade noted.

After the water reached midway to my waist, Fenris let go of my hands, reaching for a basket on the side. Grabbing the metal bucket inside it, he filled it with water before drenching me in it. I stared at him, perplexed at everything that was going on.

He grabbed the soap before lathering my hair, leaving me feeling like a pampered child. After the next bucket rinsed the soap away, I pouted, not wanting to be treated as such.

“Fen—” I tried to complain.

The playful wolf scooped my cheeks in his hands, kissing me lightly once again. His left hand traced through my body, ending up at my abdomen. Instinctively, I grabbed him, unsure of where he was going.

When he pulled away from my lips, in his eyes was the gentlest expression I ever saw him have.

"I can’t believe... you’re carrying my pups. I think I'm still in shock." Fenris confessed.

Everything had happened so fast that it was hard for anyone to digest anything said that day. Instinctively, I glanced away from his eyes and down to the water.

I placed you in a difficult position because of my carelessness. You’re probably really angry with me.

"I’m sorry." I apologized, feeling aches in my chest.

There was no doubt I had forced this wolf into fatherhood before any of us were ready for it. I desired to avoid that, especially since he wasn’t in control that night.

I was, and I failed you.

"Hey, Lily, that isn’t what I meant, " he reassured me, grabbing me by the waist.

My wolf tugged my right hand towards his lips with his left.

"What?" I mumbled, tilting my head at him.

He wasn’t yelling at me or scolding me for what happened.

"I thought so many things would happen before this. Like..." he trailed off, glancing at me softly.

Not for a moment did he give away from me. Something in his eyes told me he was dead serious about what he was about to do next. Placing my ring finger on his mouth, he bit into it slightly, breaking the skin.

A soft flinch came from me when the rush of pain hit me, but it wasn’t as bothersome as anything I had ever felt. No, this pain was bittersweet. Licking the blood off, he glanced at me once again. Sadly, I could only respond to him by tilting my head.

Do you want me to cast a spell or something?

A soft smile rose on his lips, "I wanted to do this by the beach, but it seems it won’t happen soon. It would be too dangerous to take you anywhere right now, and I think I’ll lose my mind if anyone dares to even think about touching you."

“What?” I mumbled as he leaned into my lips and brushed lightly against them.

"By the time that heals... I’ll have a ring to replace it," Fenris added, setting my heart ablaze.

It... My ears must’ve misheard.

"F-Fenris?" I voiced, feeling my heart fluttering.

He licked the wound around my finger. Upon closer inspection, it resembled a ring.

"Lilith, marry me." My wolf proposed to me, placing my hand against his forehead with closed eyes.

This story is posted elsewhere by the author. Help them out by reading the authentic version.

I stared at him, unable to process what his words meant. This used to be a dream, yet…

"I... I..." tears dropped from my eyes." I’m dreaming, aren't I?" I mumbled, not believing my eyes.

He tugged away from my hand before kissing my forehead.

"No, you aren’t dreaming. I want you to be my wife, silly witch." He simpered. “Please, make the happiest man alive and be my wife.”

His cheeks were slightly pink. Unable to contain the happiness flushing over me, I hugged him tighter than ever.

Your wife... You really want me to be your wife?! This has to be a dream!

"Yes! Yes! I’ll marry you, Fenris!" I burst as a soft chuckle left him.

“Thank you for making me the happiest man in this world.” He breathed, tugging me into his arms.

He held me tightly to his body for a while, only to notice waves forming behind him. His tail was wagging, something I loved to see him do. Pulling away from the embrace, he went to kiss me, only to be interrupted by Shade's form of congratulations.

"Good job, lover boy. It only took you forever!" Shade sassed him from the side.

She was applauding him for being hitched. Fenris rolled his eyes before biting into his lip. He drew away from me briefly, diving into the water and swimming toward her.

She rolled her eyes when he emerged from the water next to her. They gazed at each other for a moment before he chuckled.

"You can’t die, right?" Fenris asked her.

"What?" she blurted out at the wolf, eyeing her down.

He smirked playfully at her, tapping his hands on the stone floor. She was in the air a second later, splashing on the water below. Instantly, she shifted sizes to be big enough to poke her head out of the water.

He snickered from the side when she hissed at him from the middle of the tub.

"The nerve of you! If you weren’t Lily’s love, I would’ve murdered you this instance!" Shade raged from the middle of the water.

"So, I get a permanent pass. Good to know," Fenris smirked.

In return, she grumbled to herself. I giggled, unable to contain myself after seeing them go at it.

"It isn’t that bad." I cackled when Shade frowned.

Slowly, she made her way to me when Fenris swam back as well. Sitting next to me in the water, she grumbled curses to herself while he engulfed me in his arms.

"Can... I make love to my fiancée?" my wolf whispered, picking me up by my waist.

I curled my legs on his hips, and instead of answering him with my voice, I kissed his lips lightly. He smirked, trailing his hand down my curves before placing me on the edge of the pool. Leaning into me, I felt his tongue lap my slits as a lone finger pressed against the entrance.

A soft hum left me feeling it go in as his lips focused on my sensitive bell. Thrusting his digit within me, it wasn’t long until another joined its rhythm, leaving me gripping onto his hair. Tingles throbbed through my core every time his soft member teased my little bean.

“Fenris, that’s enough. Give me more.” I murmured, feeling bold.

Tugging away from my vulva, he simpered, “I just wanted to prep you a little before the main course.”

Tugging me back onto him, he secured me into place as I coiled my legs around him again.

“I’m always ready for you,” I whispered.

“Gods, when did you learn to stir me up like this?” Fenris breathed, pressing his head into me.

Every movement from us caused the surrounding water to make waves. Shade sat next to us, grumpy as ever, mumbling under her breath. A slight whine escaped me when he pushed himself inside. It felt like he was kissing the entrance of my womb as I clung to him.

The last time he did this was on the blood moon when…

"Ah… I remembered something." I simpered, trailing my fingers on his cheeks.

The shortness of breath triggered him to kiss me again, only to draw away soon after. Curiosity was filling the wolf that had me in his grip.

"Now? Out of all times?" He huffed.

Is it okay for me to be this happy? To be your wife? Your one and only. Are my wishes coming true? Yes, you’ll be mine for all eternity, right?

This bliss was addictive. I needed nothing more, but little did I know. I still had other joys to discover alongside this wolf who owned my heart.

"Mhm... I remembered something you did during the red moon." I giggled, pulling myself closer to him.

He appeared unaware of what I was trying to say, tilting his head along with his cute ears.

"You mean, other than trying to tear you apart?" He studied me.

You’re probably wondering if I lost my mind, but…

Wrapping my arms around his neck, I tugged him down enough for me to nibble at his nose playfully.

"No," I pouted.

He kissed me in response to my nibble, only for me to draw away from him.

"You tried to knot me like a female Lycan. It was cute, but… I’m sorry I can’t give that to you." I whispered, triggering his cheeks to go bright pink.

He fumbled around his words before he shook his head.

"I-I... Sorry, that must’ve been agonizing." My wolf apologized, shifting his gaze towards the side.

"Silly, it only hurt a little bit. I enjoyed it when you were trying so hard to..." I trailed off, not realizing what I was saying until it was too late.

Fenris chuckled before kissing me again. This time, his tongue traveled through my mouth before separating from me. His affection left me flustered—especially the smile he had.

"My hard work... gave fruit." He licked his lips, cheeks flushed pink.

He wasted no time in moving once again, triggering me to hum as his thrust filled me to the brim before stopping and gazing at me again.

“Ah, fuck, I should probably confess that isn’t the first time I try to knot you.” He breathed, biting onto his lip.

“What?” I mumbled.

I don’t remember…

“It happened on our first full moon together as mates, and I couldn’t stop myself from knotting you. You passed out when I did it, so I thought it was too much.” He sighed, shifting his eyes back onto me.

That night, all I remembered was him pounding away at me before feeling a pop as everything went dark.

“Is that why you haven’t done it again?” I asked, cocking my head a bit.

“Yeah, I don’t want to hurt you while you’re with me.” He pressed his forehead against me.

“All I ever feel with you is pleasure, Fenris. So, please, knot me more.” I whispered as a sly smile rose on my lips.

“Oh… gods, what will I do with you?” He breathed, thrusting into me at a more steady pace.

Every shove hit my sweet spot, triggering me to lock lips with him. My body moved with his in sync as his tongue tangoed with mine for dominance. A soft mewl left me when he tugged away, releasing a growl as he clamped his hands down on my hips, using them to anchor me down onto him.

His thrust slowly became more shallow as I continued to pursue him for affection from his lips. It wasn’t long until a groan left him, giving away a similar sensation from the blood moon. The wolf had done as I asked, swelling within me and triggering my voice to become erratic.

My mind wiped out for a couple of seconds before I crashed back into reality, to him holding onto me as he pumped me full of his seeds.

“Does it hurt?” He asked out of breath.

A soft mewl left me feeling his tip press against my womb.

“No, it feels so good!” I whined soon after as my high heightened because of the sensation he was giving to me.

I held onto him, riding out the peak as he tugged me closer. A soft sigh left his lips, shifting his gaze towards Shade, who still grumbled to herself.

"Hey..." Fenris called out to her.

“What?!” She huffed, narrowing her eyes at him.

Even though she loved to bully him, there was no doubt that she adored him as much as I did. After all, our bond had made us part of each other. Usually, what I felt, she also felt.

"I love you too. You know that right?" he simpered.

A soft hum left her scowling before she licked his cheek soon after.

"Is that why you thought I needed a bath?" She grumbled, rolling his eyes at him.

He chuckled, glancing back at me.

"Na... I wanted to drench you, too." Fenris teased her.

“Excuse me?! I don’t need the affection Lily craves!” She pouted.

Touching my cheek, he smiled.

Ah… You’re shining again… So brightly.

"You two... are the start of my family unit." He breathed, leaning into me before placing a kiss on my lips.

The happiness that radiated from Shade filled me as those words melted her heart and mine. Not wanting to push me too far, Fenris tugged away from me to finish his bath after the knot came down.

I bathed shaded, who stared at me unenthusiastic at my attempts to make her smell good. This would be a sweet moment I would remember for the rest of my life.
