Love Thy Wolf Mate (Book 1: Mated Midnight Series)

~10~ Love Thy Wolf Mate

Love Thy Wolf Mate

Last chapter! There will be a sequel, but I haven't really decided yet if it'll be about Micah and Luke or not. I'm leaning more towards not, just because I feel like it ended good and I don't wanna fudge it up. I'd be more than happy to hear any ideas any of you have if you wanna share them.

~~~~Micah's P.o.v.~~~~(5 years later)

Laughter echoed through the small clearing in the forest. Children played, laughingly running to and from the brown wolf nipping playfully at their fingers when they went to touch him. Jack definitely loved kids, especially when they were his own.

People I'd never seen before converged on the food and refreshments spread out on the various tables, chatting animatedly about this and that. All in all I was too distracted by the sight of Luke and Jack playing with the younger children in their wolf forms while friends and family members watched on as if it were a daily occurrence. And for these people I guess it was. It was just something I still hadn't gotten used to yet, but I would have to soon. One day it could quite possibly be my own children sharing the same incredible ability as their father.

My hands instantly cover the barely there baby bump hidden beneath one of Luke's t-shirts at the thought. It had taken awhile, longer than Luke had expected really, but the stubborn boy had finally gotten me pregnant. Coincidentally, around the same time that Jack had gotten Kayla pregnant for the third time. Luke and Jack had definitely celebrated when Nora confirmed it for them.

Hell, I think they're both still a little hungover from all of their celebrating.

Jack emitted a low growl when one of the older boys, Colton, hit him with a water balloon. He was only eleven, but the boy was sure to be a hell raiser when he got a little older. Something I'm sure both Luke and Jack will have a hand in. They seem to be unable to stop their inner children from coming free when they're around kids.

I just hope Luke isn't this bad with his own kids. We might have a problem if he is. He can teach Kayla and Jacks children all the bad habits he wants, just not ours. According to Jack that's his job.

"They're both just a couple of over grown children." Kayla murmurs in amazement, shaking her head as she sits down beside me. "What have I gotten myself into?"

"You? Luke's worse than Jack." But I couldn't blame him for acting a little childish every once in awhile. After all, he never really did get the chance to have an actual childhood. I'd let him have his fun.

"Yea, but Jack's a father, Luke isn't yet. Jack has reason to act like an adult." She grinned and patted my stomach. "Speaking of which, how are we doin' Momma? Any cravings yet?" Kayla laughed at the scowl I shot her.

I was only a couple of weeks along, but according to Nora Werewolf pregnancies progress a lot faster than a human pregnancy. Something Luke seemed to have forgotten to mention. Kayla had given birth to the twins after only three months and her youngest daughter a couple of days before the three month mark. Nora says I can expect to go into labor any time before or after that mark.

Oddly enough, giving birth isn't what scares me about all of this. I just keep imagining a wolf pup coming out of me when I think about it. That is what scares me. Though, Luke has assured me every time I bring it up that that will not be happening. I still wonder, though.

"No cravings yet." Except this never ending craving I have for Luke, but that's supposedly "normal" or something.

The loud, disgruntled moans of several children draws my attention to where both Luke and Jack had shifted, dressed and made their escape from the game of tag they'd been playing for the past hour or so. I grin at the worn out expressions on both their faces as they make their way around the crowds.
