136 iv. Wishes

In the twentieth month following her miscarriage, the moon goddess blessed her with another child.

It was unexpected, at most, it was borne out of the misery and pain that followed their biggest heartbreak just yet. But now that she knew for sure she is carrying his heir, there is no way in all the world she will let anyone take it away from them once again.

“Dominus, my love and alpha,” she whispered in his ear as she pressed her lips to his cheek, waking him up from his stupor.

He had a ready smile for her, setting aside the documents he was about to review for his signature. He tapped on his lap, signifying his desire on where she should sit.

She sat on his lap and circled her arms on his neck, making him smile even wider. She has become rather a bit sweeter since the incident, in fact, it will be safe to say she has become more needy. A fact he has, though guiltily so, enjoyed.

“To what do I owe this beautiful and so unexpected surprise from my love?” He was in a satellite office and has been away for at least a week, dealing with expansion proposals in so far as the business dealings of the pack are concerned.

Mary has never been one to join him during his trips, always satisfied to stay behind. So her taking the initiative to join him really made him feel rather so blessed, if not a bit curious.

“Is it wrong to visit the alpha then? Does he tire of his beloved?” she sat on his lap, even surprising him further as she opened her legs wide and straddled him.

He chuckled, his deep baritone voice filled the room as he pulled her even closer, “Nonsense, you can visit me as often as you would like. I am rather getting used to my queen being so needy. I do not know how to go back to the usual wall of ice if you ever decide to do so in the future.”

.....

“Why should I return to being the ice queen when I rather enjoy being fiery for my alpha and king,” she smiled sweetly at him.

The change in her behavior was calculated on her part. After the incident of her losing their child, it was as if something within her has shifted.

Something more primal. The need to survive or to protect someone’s survival. It has suddenly awoken from deep inside of her and now that it has taken root, it just continues to grow further.

As if what happened has finally woken her as to the true nature of their reality. Her being a mistress to the alpha has given her no security.

In fact, it has placed her at the center of a firing range, leaving her vulnerable and unprotected. The only way she could save herself and her child is to make sure she has the alpha’s affections and no one else.

Anyone who is not her and her child, she will despise. Everyone is to be treated as her own enemy if she is to protect the child growing in her womb.

The mood goddess has given her another chance to be a mother. And this time she will do everything to protect him so.

She will not be satisfied until she has given the world to her child. The numerous unfairness she has suffered in this world can only be cured by giving her child everything.

Their child deserves the whole world and nothing less. She will make sure he gets only the best. This way she can keep him safe, protected, and loved. This child is her priority now.

He chuckled, though worry filled his heart. He caressed her cheek as her smile widened for him.

“You do not have to be this for me to be satisfied with you. You do not have to try to please me all the time. Truthfully I will be a moron not to enjoy your newfound affections, and yet I am scared that you must be doing all of this out of compulsion. Or from whatever perceived need you have,” he traced his thumb on her lips that has been painted with red lipstick.

Even the manner by which she dressed and presented herself in public has undergone a tremendous change. It is true he enjoyed this version of her and yet it made him feel that a distance has been created between them far more than he would like to acknowledge.

It scares him to see this version of the woman he so loved. A side of her he never knew existed.

But though it terrified him so, what was he to do but to love her anyway? To try to understand and support her with whatever it is she so desired. That is the only thing left for him to do. Because he is someone who loves her desperately so.

“Nonsense, I am only doing what felt good for me. I love you, Dominus. I have never been so open about how I truly feel. I do not want to go back to that dark place and again feel so powerless against those who wanted to trample upon me. I want to be free. To love you, desire you, do whatever I wanted,” she kissed his cheek again, and followed her words with a burst of carefree laughter that hid her emotions well.

“What is it that brought you here then, my love? Do speak what it is you truly desire. I’ll give you everything you ask of me, you know this,” he assured her, gently caressing her cheek.

“Your love is what I need and desire most of all, amongst other things,” she whispered softly.

He chuckled, “What other things exactly, my love? That part I am most curious of. Please do tell and enlighten my enslaved mind.”

She kissed his lips and stared into his eyes, smiling a bit, “Will you think of me less if I ask for the moon, my knight?” she giggled.

“No, never. Even if you ask both for the moon and stars, I will never think less of you. To me, you are my saintess, my queen, my one and true mate. There is nothing in this world that can change that,” he pulled her close to him, rubbing her soft body against his hard erection.

She blushed, making him smile wider. So it is still her, the sweet little love of his who blushed during their intimate moments quite so easily. No amount of makeup can take that away from him at least.

“I do love it when you blush. Despite everything, it seems like some things never change,” he teased her.

She kissed his lips again, just brushing her lips with his as if they were petals that barely grazed each other. “Aye, exactly as you wanted, I presume. A sweet innocent queen the knight wanted so badly to ravish, isn’t it so?”

“Yes and no. Yes, for it is what turns me on so much, and no because every version of yourself keeps me desirous of you. Whether you decide to play your cards just and honorably or choose to cheat and lie for whatever ends that pleases you, I will be beside you. To support you and take your side, whatever it is you feel just. I love you that much, my queen,” he responded with a hungrier kiss, deeper and more insatiable than the one they had shared earlier.

His fingers started to brush against her bosoms, unbuttoning her shirt as he felt himself harden even more. “Do you understand what I am saying, my love? I will be supportive of you no matter what. So you do not have to be scared. You do not have to change.”

She pulled at his hand, preventing him from undressing her completely, “Let me do it for you, my knight. Let me undress in front of you for the sheer pleasure of making you look hungrier even more for me.”

He felt himself heat up even more as she unbuttoned the rest of her shirt, sliding her sleeves off her shoulders. She unbuckled her bra effectively, discarding it as well.

“Such a clever little girl you are, my darling girl. You know exactly what you are doing, don’t you?” he whispered, barely holding to his thread of patience.

She laughed, it was quite easy to have his attention. How come she never abused this power she wielded on him before? She was such a fool.

If not for her naivety their child would still be alive until now. But she couldn’t cry over spilled milk any longer. She was given a second chance to make things right for their child.

“Suckle,” she commanded him, her eyes meeting with his as she cupped her own bosoms and placed a nipple on his lips.

He took the opportunity she offered and nibbled on her nipples teasing her as she moaned. Soon he was sucking her tender bud as she threw her head in restless abandon.

He slid her panty and tugged down on her skirt revealing her entrance. He plunged a finger into her core as she arched her back, letting out a satisfied moan.

He placed her on top of his desk and proceeded to unbuckle his belt, tugging down his pants as well. He lifted her and slammed himself into her core, an act which earned a sigh of pleasure from his beloved.

Their bodies rocked together in a slow and casual rhythm, filled only with sighs of pleasure and moans on her part. With one final thrust he spilled his seeds inside of her, looking into her blue eyes that speak of newfound wisdom, he kissed her lips once again.

Holding her close to him, he whispered, “I love you so, my queen. Then and now, and even in the endless forevers and realms, I do love you so.”
