Finally

Wait what?

Larry's POV:

I woke up to two separate voices in my head having a hushed conversation.

Unfortunately beings their literally talking inside my head no matter how quiet they spoke I was able to hear them.

I laid on the bed with my eyes still closed pretending to be asleep as the two voices continue to talk.

About thirty minutes later I finally got up off the bed after hearing my pup's giggling in their nursery. I looked around in search for my mate expecting him to be sleeping on our bed but to my surprise I found Laurent's side of his bed empty.

I wanted to feel the sheets to see if Laurent even came to bed last night but chose to ignore the urge to check afraid that he was still upset with me and chose not to come back to our room last night.

Feeling a pang of guilt and heartache I quickly brushed it aside as I got dressed and walked into my pup's room.

Their smiling faces and giggling laughs always brought smiles to my face and happiness in my heart.

I stood in the door way staring at my very happy pup's standing in their cribs happily staring back at me.

'Pup's are really happy'. Blaze said happily. I nodded in agreement.

After everything that they had gone through over the past few months they seemed as though it hadn't affected them at all.

At least that's what it seems like right now anyways.

'Our pup's'. I heard a feminine voice speak in my head.

I gasped not knowing what to think.

I knew the voice belonged to Phoenix, but I had only ever heard her talk once before and I was maybe five years old.

'Phoenix'? I asked a little nervously.

'Yes Larry'. She answered back quickly.

'It's been a long time'. 'Hearing your voice I mean'. I told her.

'Yes it has'. She said.

'Why'? 'I mean why are you talking all of a suddenly after all these years of being quiet'? I asked her.

'My husband is back'. She tells me casually.

Like really her husband?

What does that even mean?

Am I supposed to cheat on Laurent (which will never happen) and chase after her husband?

Question after question ran through my mind. Questions I was almost positive I did not want the answers to. I knew from experience that the Moon Goddess had a sick sense of humor, but this sick joke is the sickest of them all.

I was drowning in my nightmarish thoughts when I felt sparks of electricity run throughout my body then the most mouth watering scent hit me like a tidel wave.

"Hi baby". Laurent's husky sexy voice flowed through my head bringing me out of my unhappy thoughts.

'Hi my love'. I answered back.

'Larry'? I heard a strange but exotic voice call my name sending shivers down my spine.

'Who, who are you'? I asked sheepishly.

Why was my body acting this way? I asked myself.

"Larry baby". I heard Laurent call me. I smiled hearing the love in his voice when he called me.

'Yes baby'. I answered just as happily.

"We need to talk". "My mother and grandmother will be here any second to pick up our pup's". "After they leave, we have a lot to discuss". Laurent said.

I wasn't able to find my voice and utter a reply. To nervous to understand what we had to talk about that requires my pup's to leave our home, so I just nodded my head grabbed my three pup's and began our morning routine.

I changed their diapers and clothes and then carried them to the dining room where we sat and ate our breakfast that was already set up on the dining room table.

Shortly after we finished our breakfast there was a ding of the door bell. As Laurent answered the door I cleaned up our pup's and gathered their bags that I had sat down by the dining room door.

Kissing my pup's goodbye I walked towards the living room and waited for Laurent to walk back inside our home after making sure our pup's were securely seated in his grandmother's vehicle.

I signed trying to get comfortable on the overstuffed couch I am currently sitting on as Laurent closed the door behind him. I watched him causally walk towards the couch and sat down sighing heavily.

My heart jumped nervously.

Why is Laurent is acting like this? I thought to myself.

Is he still mad because of how I acted yesterday? I asked myself, frowning at the thought.

"Larry why, are you frowning"? I heard Laurent ask me. I just shrugged my shoulders and hung my head waiting for him to start this conversation he said we needed to have.

"Larry baby look at me". Laurent said sternly.

I raised my head slowly, sitting back a little bit more on the couch.

"Baby, everything is going to be okay". He said softly. I nodded not saying anything.

'Larry'. The deep voice called out again.

'Who are you'? I asked quietly. I didn't know this voice or why my body reacted the way it did to it. I didn't like the feeling of how I reacted to it.

'My name is Alaric'. The voice said. I heard Phoenix squeal in my head. I groaned at her high pitched squealing.

'Okay'. I answered. Him telling me his name doesn't really tell me anything.

'Like I said my name is Alaric and I am the hidden entity in Laurent'. He said.

'O okay that explains it, well not really but yea'. I said not really making sense.

'Do not worry, I am apart of Laurent just as much as Beast us'. He told me.

'So your my mate as well'? I asked him.

'Yes and no'. He said leaving me a little confused.

'Huh'? I mumbled out.

'You see, Phoenix is my mate, my wife, my other half, and because she is your other entity that makes you my mate'. He explained.

I still felt confused. Unable to find words to say I decided to ask Phoenix what was going on.

'Phoenix what's going on'? I asked her.

'Well it's a long story'. She tells me.

'Give me the quick version'. I tell her

Phoenix began telling me the story of her and Alaric. I was absolutely taken a back from their story. To be able to find your love every time you are reborn is exceptional. I do not like the part of them only being able to stay together for fifty years before their life span ends just to be reborn sixteen years later and it starts all over again.

In a way it's sad, but at the same time it's an absolutely beautiful story.

"Larry baby are you okay"? Laurent asked me sadly.

'I'm okay Laurent it's just a little bit more than I expected'. 'Actually that's not true, I honestly didn't know what you wanted to talk about'. I told him.

Laurent pulled me closer to him, kissing my neck, temple then my lips. I melted into his warm embrace, happily enjoying his kisses.
