Bearing The Heir

Chapter 17

Andrews (pov)

  To say drinking one's blood is intimate is an understatement. I guess because it is my mates it is like an aphrodisiac. We went home and Tristan explained my choices.

  He told me what to expect. He also fed off of us as we all made love all night. I think I orgasmed over 6 times.

  I made love with each of them.  Then all of them and lots of fore play. It was a long night. I was thankful for having the next day off. We also decided to postpone our trip to Theo's clan by a day.

  We will go Friday and stay till Monday.  My mates continued to watch over me. They served me breakfast in bed.  They took turns napping with me, and gave me massages. I will enjoy this for now but it will get annoying really quick.

  Finally Friday came and we took one of the pack SUV's for the trip to Theo's clan. Alexia and one pack warrior accompanied us. I was nervous. Not knowing what Theo's clan would think of me or our other mates. Also the fact I am expecting. 

  The ride was short and the village was quaint. Theo said there is about 50 members. In the center of the small village is a 2 story cabin that sleeps around 25.  Then there is 6 smaller cabins scattered in the woods around the village. Theo said his family resides in one of the cabins closer to the center of the village.

  It is his mom Lois, and his two younger sisters. Tina who is 17 and his youngest sister Tara who is 10.  His father died in battle a few years back.
He lived with them until he found me. 

  They took to all of us rather well and his sisters were super excited. They loved the idea of having more older brothers and becoming aunts. Tina also made plans to visit us over the summer.

  When she was finished with school. She is only a year younger than me. I like having others my age around.  I feel so young compared to everyone else.

  I am going to be responsible for 4 lives soon.   I feel unprepared and young. I think that is why the goddess gave me my mates. They are so diverse in species and their life experience.

  When we returned home. We scheduled which territory we would visit next. The plan was to go to Tobalts the following weekend then to Tristan's coven. 

  If those visits went as well as visiting Theo's family. I know I will not have anything but support from all. Atleast that is what I am hoping for.

   The week passed by fast and we were currently on our way to Tobalts pack. I was nervous his father is a dragon shifter and his mother is a pure blood wearwolf.  Tobalt has an older brother Sam  who has 2 children Vic and Val with his mate Cassie.

  I am currently napping with my head on Theo's shoulder. I have been so exhausted and hungry. I am also starting to show.

  I mean I was a pretty fit guy. Now I am carrying 4 mixed species babies. In the end I am going to be huge. 

  I begin to stir as we reach our destination.  I look out the window to see a beautiful lush forest with a small town scattered with in it. There is a grocery store, cafe, parks, there own school. They almost have everything you need right at your fingertips. 

  We pull up to a modern looking 2 story home.  It has a bench on the porch and a small garden on the side. It looks lovely like something out of a magazine. Tobalt opens the door for me and Tristan helps me out of the vehicle.

  As we walk up to the home the door opens to whom I assume is Tobalts father. He looks just like him except slightly taller with some silver streaks in his hair. Even though he does not look his age.

  He welcomes us in. He tells us his mate is in the kitchen finishing up dinner. His brother Sam and his mate along with his kids will be over shortly for dinner.

  Tobalt introduced all of us at dinner. He also explained that I am expecting and the prophecy. His father said he is still close to his dragon family. 

  If we need assistance he knows the dragon king which is his uncle. They would help if needed. We told him for now we are keeping everything on a need to know basis until we know more ourselves. They all agreed.

   After dinner we had tea with desert which was strawberry shortcake. It was amazing I had 2 helpings.  They then showed us to our room for our stay. I was exhausted after the trip. We showered and I was out as soon as my head hit the pillows. 

  Tomorrow Tobalt was going to show us around.  He wanted to have a picnic at this little park he frequently visited as a child. Vic and Val were going with us. I love spending time with kids. I feel like it will help me be prepared for our growing family. 

  The trip went well and on Sunday we were in the suv headed back home. We were behind schedule and it was bit later when we left. On the trip home it was very dark the forest felt eerie. I think my mates felt it to.

  As we entered the dirt road that would lead us to our pack. There was a group of dirty feral wolves. Tobalt and Theo growled out Rogues.

  The car came to a halt as they surrounded it. I was getting nervous.  I knew they were there for me.

  Tristan went to open the door and I grabbed his wrist. I kissed his cheek and told him to be careful. The others went to join him to fight the rogues.

  I told them the same and they told me to stay put. I just watched intently as they battled. I feared for my mates.

  Luckily the rogues were no match for my mates.  After an hour of fighting the rogues lay all dead. My mates entered looking tired and sore.

  Tristan looked rough with a bad gash on his shoulder. I let him feed off me and he quickly healed. We then headed home to get cleaned up and rest.

  We informed the Alpha and my Uncle of the attack. They doubled the border patrol. I felt guilty that they were at an increased risk because of me.
