Dragons Heart

chapter 2

Gripping the steering wheel I let out a sigh, the sick feeling still lingering in my gut.

Once I have everyone out I take in a deep breath, Ash knocks on the door as I shush a fussing Sage.
His small claws dig into my chest as he cries, thankfully not ripping my shirt up.

"Stay by me, and be on your best behavior unless I say so"

Ash holds the hands of Sebastian and Oakley, poppy sits on my other hip as Sam holds on to my shirt.

As we approach the door it quickly opens, Zachery, the man from the other day stands there with a grin.

"Come in! We are all in the living room, I've also set out a few coloring books with a box of crayons for whoever would like to use them"

He leads us into the room where Samantha and Oakley dive for the coloring books, Sebastian sits and holds poppy in his lap as Ash, Sage, and I sit on the couch.

"Hello, you've met my son Zachary who has invited you and your family to our home for a small meeting, I do have to say, im a bit shocked at the size of your family, and you are alone and very young"

I sigh as I give a smile, Sebastian holds my pant leg as he looks at me to ask if im ok.
Ash gives him a small nod before he returns to playing with Poppy, I meet the Alpha's eyes before I speak.

"Well, I'm sure it's odd to those who do not know us, but yes I am young, and biologically I am only related to one of my kids, the others I have raised since I was smaller, so what is your reasoning for sending a small group of your pack to my home? That is a bit hostile"

Ash silently takes Sage from my lap, his hands waving as he fusses.

"Well, it seems a bit much now, please forgive us for that, I see you have two wolves with you, and a human, but what are the others? And yourself"

Oakley stops for a moment to look up, his eyes dart from the Alpha to me before returning to his picture.

"Well, Ash here is a young Witch, born as one so she is quite strong, Poppy my little redhead is half Vampire, and then I and my son Sage are Dragons, or whatever you'd like to call us, and just so you know my twins are not joining any packs"

Samantha growls as low as she can as she begins to color a bit aggressively, Oakley holds her other hand which calms her down some.

Poppy turns to look up at the Alpha, she gives her usual sweet smile as she waves.

"Well, I can understand, would you be open to an alliance? Just a formality to being peaceful with each other"

I nod my head before taking Sage back, poor Ash has little claw marks on her arms but she doesn't seem bothered.

"Oh, where are my manners! My name is Bryan, Alpha of this pack, my Beta, Steven, and my Sons, Zachery you know, then his Brother Kane"

I glance up to the new faces, a small nod before I look back at Sage.
His eyes were full of tears as he smacks my chest, his sad babbling makes the Alpha frown.

"What's wrong with the little guy? Is he hungry? If so go on and feed the baby"

I silently panic as I look at Sage, thankfully his wet diaper is a good reason to escape.

I hate leaving Ash in charge, but if I don't feed Sage soon then we have a bigger problem.

"His diaper is wet so he just needs to be changed, would you point me in the direction of a bathroom? Ash, keep them in line"

The Beta kindly gives me directions to one, I quickly excuse myself as I pick up the diaper bag.

Once the door is shut I quickly take a seat on the edge of the bath, Sage happily squeaks as I lift my shirt before he latches on to my nipple.

Thank God wolves soundproof bathrooms.

Sage happily kneads my chest as I silently curse, the pain in my chest finally lessens as he feeds finally.

Halfway through I remove him so I can change him, once he is dry he latches on to the other side.

I rest my head on the wall as I wait for him to finish, my eyes open when the bathroom door opens.

Wide-eyed with my cheeks flushed I meet the eyes of Kane, his eyes widen before he steps in and shuts the door silently.

"Your children have started a game, I was just trying to hide, how- uh, how is he able to, you know"

My face was still hot as I glare at him, Sage of course is unbothered.

"It's called breastfeeding, both male and female dragons can feed their young like this in human form, focus on yourself or lose your eyes"

I growled out, but my growling stopped as a little hand stops kneading my chest.
Looking down I see a sleeping Sage, removing his little face I quickly pull my shirt down.

After zipping my jacket back up I stand as I lift the diaper bag, my baby, is asleep in my arms as I push past Kane.

"Well, sorry for interrupting his meal, just don't let those kids find me, I don't want to get attacked"

Slamming the door behind myself I head towards the living room, finally away from that man.

"Guys, remember to be gentle with your new playmates! They aren't used to you all! Especially you, Oakley!"

I rested in my seat on the couch, a sleepy baby in my arms and a stupid blush on my face.

Am I ashamed of my biology? No.
Why would I ever be ashamed of this gift, it's the most natural thing I can do.

I am a parent, my children are not all my blood but still my children.
My nature is to nurture, embarrassment may frustrate me but I will go through hell if it means my kids are safe.

A/N ok so I know im posting this super soon after the first chapter, but it's just because im going to be busy writing more for this story.

And a heads up, things may start to move a little faster here soon!
