Chapter 12:

***Blood-Moon's Pov***

I woke with Reneta still in my arms. She looked so peaceful and happy that I was holding her. My beautiful mate. The mother of my pups. Oh my pups. They were being restless now. Moving and kicking from inside her stomach. I felt complete. 

"Hey my beautiful mate," I said running my fingers along her arm. She twitched slightly and slowly opened her eyes to look at me. 

"Hi," she whispered sleepily. 

"Hi my love." I helped her to sit up and she stretched her arms over her head before wrapping them around me the best she could. She snuggled up to me. I guess she didn't want to get up yet, and that was fine.

Wrapping my arms around her and slipping out of the bed, I walked with her into the bathroom and sat her down on the side of the bath. When I started the shower, she stood and stretched again. 

"You're going to take a shower?" She asked walking over to the sink to get some water.

I turned after getting the water to my liking. "Yes," I said walking over to her and rubbed my hand along her stomach. The twins moved and kicked my hand. I purred. "I was hoping that maybe you'd come and sit in there with me." 

Her smile was warm and loving. She didn't undress, she just sat in the chair that was in the left corner wall of the shower. I didn't mind that she was watching me, it didn't bother me in the slightest. I was just glad to have her here, and that she was so willing to go into further detail about last night. 

"I'm sorry that I had messaged you about all that," she said from behind me. It sounded like she had regret. Like she felt like she burdened me with her past. 

"Why?" I asked turning my back to the shower so that I could see her. She had her head down like she wanted to cry. "I'm not burdened by your past, my love. I would rather you tell me what had happened so that I can protect you. I want you to tell me about the nightmares and what troubles you." I was on my knees in front of her. "I'm glad that you were finally able to tell me. Javelin had hinted to me that something was bothering you." The way she looked at me, it was priceless. "He never told me about the nightmares. But he told me that when you were ready. You'd tell me. That's why I never pushed you or brought it up. I wanted you to come to me."

"Did he tell you?" 

I took her hand in mine. "No... He said that it was against him and his patient to tell me anything like detailed. The only thing that he told me was to wait... That you'd come to me when you felt it was right... and if you needed me. So I did... Then at midnight last night you were ready to tell me, and I listened. Was I angry that you waited so long. Yeah I was. But I think I was upset to know that my mate had to go through something like that. It's cruel to know how oomans treat each other." I moved closer. I could see the pups moving around. "Just know that I'm here for you. I'll always be here for you, my love. My beautiful mate." 

For the rest of the time in the shower, we just talked with one another. Reneta told me that the contractions she was feeling was starting to really hurt. It concerned me. I wasn't sure how much different labor was for my kind and oomans. Javelin told me that it was similar in ways, but that our women didn't need assistance like ooman women did. Our females could birth our pups in no time of being in labor, where oomans could spend hours or even days in labor. So yes I was concerned. Thankfully Javelin came when I called. 

"What can I do for you Prince Blood-Moon?" He asked stepping into the room and right over to Reneta. I had moved her to the bed to make her more comfortable between contractions. When I didn't respond, Javelin looked over at me and nodded like he understood. Without waiting, he listened to the twins heartbeats and checked Reneta over, then check her cervix. Reneta moved uncomfortably, and I moved to her side while Javelin continued the exam of her cervix.
