The Beast's Virgin Claim

Phobos mentioned she does not have much longer and her time to enter the moon's gates is near. Her small group of females stand close behind her their eyes set firmly on me yet their looks are quite different compared to what I was met with the first time around. Now they look at me with respect, admiration...love.

I give them each a welcoming smile receiving multiple in return from them that stirs a unique sensation in my heart.

"I wished to formally present you with these females. I have trained them the best I could and they will serve you till the end of their days." Vůdce says.

I frown with bafflement, she wishes to offer me her females? I peer up at Phobos to get answers yet he already has his radiant blues glued to my flesh gazing down at me with utmost pride which confounds me. I do not understand.

"These are your females, Vůdce," I mutter. As Luna, I could have rightfully stripped the healer of her authority made her a lowly female just like others and could have taken these females as mine by force but I did not do so because I felt it was unnecessary. But here she is presenting them to me.

She had once stated that they will be given to me when I become queen but over the years I had forgotten about this for seeing her with the females became something normal.

"They were never mine. I merely trained them, for you."

"For me?"

"Yes. They were hand-picked by me long before you arrived not to be warriors to the pack or Alpha Phobos but you. Just you."

"I do not need protection."

"They are not here to protect you but to strengthen you, Luna. They will be at your side at all times." Will these females be similar to what Lumina possesses? My own tight-knit group of wolves whom I shall adore? "Say your oath." Vůdce commands and the females are agile to kneel in front of me with their heads bowed low their gazes positioned upon my boot-clad feet.

"Our life is yours, Královna." They declare in unison while setting their palms over their hearts as I unhurriedly inspect them speechless by their abrupt antics. I did not expect this.

Our wolves scrutinise us standing aside not making a single sound as the crown of bones that Vůdce purposefully kept from me is finally seated upon my head by her. The females arise and stride towards me taking their spots behind me like they once did with the leader of females encircling me like an impenetrable shield.

Vůdce bows deeply with every bit of strength she possesses along with a wide smile painting her face. When she steadies herself to regard me I am met with an indescribable fondness that is buried deep within those eerie eyes of hers. "I had been patiently waiting for this day. I always knew ever since the first day you strode into our lands. That you are worthy to be the queen of beasts.

Our rightful Královna." She whispers sending a magnetic set of shivers down the entirety of my spine. She yanks the conch shell that is hooked to her attire steers it to her mouth and blows into it, a prolonged high pitched cry that is shipped upward toward the winter sky that has our wolves kneel into the snow and bow their heads. Not to Phobos but to...me.

"Our queen!" Phobos bellows out accompanied by a resonant rumble that rips out his throat whilst he beats his muscular chest with his fist his voice thundering out in waves of pride and power.

"Our queen!" The pack cheers and I shudder overwhelmed by everything that is transpiring.

Phobos hauls me closer to him, his palms cradling my face as he sets his forehead upon mine whilst the pack continues to chant my title with claps and low hums. "My queen. Mine." He whispers proudly nudging me with the tip of his nose showing his affection and I gulp whilst the beats of my heart quicken as I gaze into his lustrous blues. Shall I say it? This would be a perfect time.

I wanted to reveal it on his birthday but now feels right to me.

"Would you like an early birthday present, Phobos?" My voice is barely a whisper among the roaring chants of our wolves.

"Birthday present? Now?" He questions with a frown. I nod shakily earning a throaty grunt of acceptance from him. He shall receive whatever I give him this moment.

Grabbing his right wrist I steer his limb towards my belly and set his palm upon my flesh. His frown deepens, he does not comprehend what it is I am doing. "A big family," I whisper.

"A big family?" He follows my words as though endeavouring to understand what I am trying to say. Does this slow male need for me to be any more precise than this? Phobos raises his left fist and our wolves quieten immediately paying heed to his silent command. "I do not understand what you are trying to express, Drahá."

"I am pregnant, you silly male," I mutter with a huff earning numerous gasps from all around us. My male's eyes enlarge with shock as he glimpses back and forth from my belly to my joyful eyes gaining a chuckle from me.

He then diverts his gaze to Vůdce who is staring at us with a peaceful smile on her face. "Dvojčata," Phobos informs her and she gives him a curt nod of assurance as though what he just uttered was the ultimate truth.

"What? What does that mean?" I ask.

My male begins to laugh his head tossed back the rich sound enveloping me in a bubble of warmth. "I cannot believe this."

"You better answer me you beast."

"It means twins, my sunflower. You will birth twins." Did this male of mine just say...twins?

"H-How do you know this? How can you be sure of this?"

"Do you remember that night you left our lands when the healer called for me while we were in the tent?"

"Yes."

"This was it. This was Vůdce's prophecy."
