Chapter 556 Pups
Umayza
I wake up well rested but sore and I snuggle deeper into Conri’s side as I feel Evander moving closer to my back. I still can’t believe how often I came last night, but I enjoyed every second of it until I was completely exhausted of course and I had to tell Yade, Kane and Mylo to cut it out.
Evander told me that their Alpha had entered the Alpha Bloodline Competition and that will end if a day or two, so we will be staying here until after she has returned with her second chance Mate. Conri told me what happened with her first Mate and I believe it is a good thing my Mates never ran into him over the years.
We spend the morning in our room just talking about our future, what we want our home to look like and we make the decision to ask Alpha Amarah if we can settle down in their birth Pack. They warn me their Mom will probably kick their asses for wasting so much time, but that she will never hold it against me.
Yade has been acting strange ever since I woke up, but she doesn’t want to talk to me about it and she has even pulled up a block between us. At first I thought she was just exhausted and needed some more time to rest, but now hours later I doubt that is the issue.
“Yade, are you willing to talk now?” I ask her as Conri and Evander are outside talking to Armand, she doesn’t respond immediately and for a moment I think she will put the block back in place. “There is something you haven’t discussed yet with our Mates and I am not sure if I should say something.” She says.
I tell her if she doesn’t tell me I won’t be able to help her/or to ask our Mates the questions that will get her the answers she wants and I am flabbergasted when she tells me that we are pregnant, “When did it happen?” I ask her after I have had time to let it sink in.
Yade tells me it happened during our first night together and I know I am only a few days along, but it is enough for Yade to notice the change inside us. Yade is right, this is the only subject we haven’t discussed yet, but knowing our Mates they will be ecstatic to find our we are expecting a Pup.
I place my hand on my belly as I smile at Yade and I know she is as happy about this as I am, “Why haven’t our Mates barged in here yet?” I ask her as I realize they didn’t react to my emotions and Yade explains she put a block on it as she wanted to know how I felt about it.
I ask her to keep that block up just a little longer as I want to enjoy this moment with my Wolf, “I just want to talk to you about our Pup for a while.” I tell her and she responds by saying, “Our Pups.” I just stare at her for a few moments as I process that I am carrying twins.
-We talk about my ability and the fact our Pups won’t possess it, we talk about what our Pups might look like and I can’t help myself from smiling at the images Yade shows me. We discuss how to approach the subject of Pups with our Mates and Yade tells me they should be able to scent it in a few days.
After lunch Ma takes me and Dad to Mom’s gravesite and I can see that it is well taken care off, but as Orion mentioned there is no name on her headstone. I sit down next to her grave and I feel the tears running down my cheeks as I think of the sacrifice she made.
My Mates wrap their arms around me as I silently cry for the female that gave birth to me and Orion, I cry for Orion as he never knew his family and I cry for Dad who never knew about his Son. I know Orion was loved by Ma and she raised him/as if he was her own, but I know that a part of him has missed not having a Father around.
He told me he wasn’t sure if his life would have turned out the same if Dad had been in his life and with that. he knew he was happy with the path his life took, because it helped him save me. Ma wouldn’t have been a

part of his life and with that Dad might not have found his second chance Mate.

I know our lives could have been the opposite of what it is today if things had turned out differently, where would I have been today if Mom had survived? What would have happened with my family if Mom had survived? Would I have worked for Night Shade Pack if Mom had survived?
I know the answer to the last question, No I would never work for Night Shade Pack and I know Mom and Dad would have done everything they could to have stopped Calliope from forcing me. The other questions I have no answer to and I know I will never find them, because that is a path no one can take anymore.
The past is the past and it is the past for a reason, it is a time that passed us by to never return again. I may regret not going to the Palace after that first invitation, but it is senseless to figure out what could have happened if I had gone and I will leave it where it belongs, in the past.
As I stares at her headstone with tears running down my cheeks I send a prayer up to our Goddess to look after Mom, to bless Dad and Ma with a long life together and to bless Orion and Asilda with a lot of Pups. I pray that my Mates and I will get blessed with a lot more Pups than the two that are on their way.
I look at Dad who finds comfort in Ma’s arms as Orion finds the same in Asilda’s arms, I relax in to embrace of my Mates and I feel myself slowly drifting off to sleep. I wake up to voices near me and I slowly pull myself out of my sleep towards them as I want to know what they are talking about, whoever they are.
“Evander, this is something we need to discuss with Umayza. We can’t make decisions that will affect her career, we can’t decide to have Pups if she isn’t ready and what if she doesn’t want Pups.” I hear Conri say and I am wide awake.
“Hello, Little One.” Evander says as he kisses me on my lips. I smile at him as I am still processing Conri’s words and I ask them why they were talking about Pups. Evander and Conri talk through their mind–link for a moment, before they both turn their attention to me.
Conri
Our little Mate falls asleep during our visit to her Mother’s grave and I carry her back to the room we are staying in. Evander has been quiet all the way back to the Pack–house and the moment the door of our room is closed I ask him what is going through his mind.
“As we were sitting there I was thinking about her Father missing out on seeing his Son grow up and how that would make me feel. It wasn’t a good thing to think about, but it also made me realize that we need to prepare for Pups. We aren’t using any protection and she can get pregnant at any time.
We will need to make a nursery in our home and make sure our home is ready for when our Pup is learning to walk, I wouldn’t like to spend a lot of time in the infirmary.” He says and for a moment I think my Brother has a few screws lose.
“I know we haven’t been using protection, Kane pointed that out after the first time we slept with her and I have been trying to find a way to talk to her about it. We need to know how she feels about having Pups or when.” I say to him as I place Umayza on my chest and I wait for him to respond.
“I want to have Pups with her, Conri. We have waited so long to find her and then a few more years because we screwed up. I don’t want to want to have Pups, I want them as soon as possible.” He responds and I think about how to react to him without pissing him off.
I tell him it is not a decision we can make as it will affect her career and I notice that she has woken up from her nap. Evander greets her with a kiss and she surprises me with the question she asks us, I link Evander that we have to be honest with her.
