Keira and the Satyr's Seduction

Shock

"Does it happen right away?"

Sebastian was running a hand over Keira's stomach while his mate laughed softly, holding onto his hand with hers.

"Stop! You're tickling me!" Keira hiccuped, "I'm so ticklish, but now you can use that against me! Ughhh, I should have known!"

She laughed again, knowing she'd given away one of her weaknesses. Keira wasn't even upset. She trusted Sebastian now.

Sebastian reddened, "I'm sorry. I'm too excited for this, I think. I didn't think I'd be so worried."

Keira sighed, "I'm absolutely terrified, I'll be honest."

Sebastian smiled, "Did Esther know right away?"

"With Ambrose she did. The twins took a while, but unless you're mated, you don't really know. There are some exceptions," Keira said,"You keep talking about dragons. What do they have to do with Succor? This was their land? "

"They took it from us and we took it back. When dragons decided their shit didn't stink we took over. There is little peace when it comes to those gold diggers."

Keira smiled,"Well, I know that my friend Ruth has a thing for dragons. She knows everything about them. It's almost an obsession. "

"Weird obsession. "

Keira rolled her eyes,"You've been obsessed with me!"

"I've been infatuated with you, little weed. There's a difference. "

"Hardly," Keira sat up and stretched,"If this doesn't work and you die before we have a baby, what can I do?"

Sebastian sat up with her, their bodies exposed to each others.

"You fight for what's yours. This village is yours, these people are your people and they need you to be their queen. You will be ready for them, Keira. You're a fighter. "

Keira smiled,"It's all I know, really. My family was adamant on having my fight for the cause.. all causes, actually. I want to know you, Sebastian. I want to know your people and let them know me."

Sebastian grinned, "You will, my love, I promise. "

"Storm is brutal!" Keira shuddered, "Hold me, Sebastian, I want to sleep and you should get some rest, too. We have so much to do, a life to build, a kingdom to run. I don't even know the first thing about that! I never indulged it!"

"As you wish, dandelion."

Nightmares plagued them both. There was enough tossing and turning for both of them to get even more exhausted than they were, but Keira woke up screaming, her terror beyond measure.

"Keira! Keira, it's alright! I'm right here!" Sebastian cradled her to him as the little witch fell asleep again, this time into a peaceful slumber.

Sebastian watched her, waiting and yearning for some type of sign. She was his mate! He needed an heir and so did she!

He could hear the wind howling, or maybe it was wolves. He knew Josette had sent Alpha Chaos and his pack to keep an eye on Keira. Josette wasn't taking any chances and Sebastian admired her for that.

He didn't mind being watched at all.

He knew Keira was in safe hands and not just because of him. Her sisters, their mates... they would take care of her when he was gone.

Putting on his trousers, he paced the grand manor, his heart racing, cold sweat sprouting up here and there. He passed Vera who didn't say anything to him nor did he want her to. What could he say? I think I impregnated your master?

Vera already knew what they were doing and it made Sebastian a little uncomfortable even though he wasn't the least bit modest or prudish, but he wanted Keira comfortable.

Lightning struck close and thunder rumbled, but he wasn't phased. He needed the mind numbing weather to help ease his anxiety. Storms tended to do that. He'd hoped they did the same got Keira, but she'd been through so much the last few days.

Would he be a good father? He hated leaving Keira to raise a child on her own. His tears threatened to pour from his tired eyes when he heard a scream.

"Keira! Oh gods!!! Keira!!"

Sebastian ran as fast as he could, sliding around every corner and practically tripping up over his feet before rounding the corner to his wing.

It seemed to take forever to reach their room where he found Vera next to Keira on the floor.

"Sebastian!!!" Keira wailed in agony as she lay curled in a fetal position, still nude.

"Keira! Are you hurt?! What has happened?!"

Vera croaked and Keira moaned like she'd been in so much agony.

"Was it another nightmare? Darling, please speak to me!"

Sebastian tried to lift her into his arms, but she shoved him away gently.

"Give me a moment, please, oh gods... This hurts like a fucking... fuck I don't even know what I'm saying... my mind is frazzled. "

She clutched her stomach as Sebastian watched her, feeling more than helpless.

"Was it dinner? The wine?!" Sebastian panicked, "A curse?! Your menses?! Gods, speak to me, woman! Contrary to what powers satyrs possess, I can't read your mind! Shall I fetch a cleric? Your sisters?!"

Vera smiled, if that's how a toad smiled, Sebastian was happy to see it. At least his mate's familiar was calm .

"King of the Satyr's.." Vera croaked, "Do you not see or feel what is happening before your very own eyes?"

"What?!"

Keira sighed as if the pain had finally eased up.

"Oh, Sebastian, I'm pregnant. We're going to have a baby!"
