Crossing the Forbidden Border ✔

16|Do you want kids?

Getting to Fading Lights took longer than expected with getting back to the pack house to get the car and actually driving to the pack. During that time Alice's and James son was born. We walk in the infirmary and the nurse took us to their rooms. Alice is holding onto the pup who is wrapped in a blanket and James is over both. He walks over to us and I hug him congratulating him then I go over to Alice and hug her sideways trying to not smother the newborn.

"Can I hold him?" She nods and hands him to me, I hold the baby and smile down at him.

"What's his name?" I keep my eyes on the small pup.

"John," Alice says.

"Hi John, I'm so glad you decided to come out to this world, I can't wait to see you grow up" I sway him.

"Do you want to hold him?" I look up to see that Alice asked William who was standing near the door. I look over to him and see that he's already staring at me. He starts to get nervous and shakes his head, I walk over to him slowly with John in my arms, his arms uncrossed as I get closer.

"It's okay you won't hurt him" I move John away from me towards William and he moves his arms in a position to hold the pup, before fully giving him John. I make sure his head is supported then I look up at William to see him smiling.

"He's so small" he comments making all of us chuckle, his attention moves from John to me and his smile widens. He walks over to Alice with John and gives him to her then walks over to me and wraps his arm around my waist. I look up to him and smile, I go on my tippy toes and kiss his cheek making his grip tighten. The baby falls asleep soon after and the nurse takes him to the nursery.

"So we wanted to ask you something?" James begins, William and I are currently sitting on the couch, I nod for them to continue.

"Ever since Alice got pregnant we knew we wanted Amber to be one and now that you are with her we wanted to know if you're okay with being Johns godparent" Alice finishes.

"I would love too thank you" I look over at William starting to close my eyes.

"We should probably get going," William says, I look up to see his eyes closing as well.

"Why don't you guys stay at our house, we are staying here overnight and it's already midnight so it might not be safe to drive a long distance if you're both tired" James suggests and I nod, I go over to them and they give me keys to their house. I tell them we'll be back tomorrow morning then I extended my hand for William to take and we walk out the car.

"Do you want kids?" William suddenly breaks the comfortable silence, completely taken off guard with the question I raise my eyebrow.

"Where's this coming from?" I turn to him but he keeps his eyes on the road.

"I don't know just seeing you with John made me think about our future and I just wanted to know if kids are something you want in the future?" his lips tug up a little.

"Well I do, do you?" I say before he goes back to the road.

"I do" he says, I look forward smiling, unable to contain thoughts of a possible future with him.

I open the door and lead him to the spare bedroom. I go over to the bed, I turn around to see William already shirtless tugging his jeans down. I feel my wolf eyes appear so I close them and turn around. I take a deep breath trying to suppress my violet eyes and it starts to work until I feel him behind me. He presses his bare chest to my back, he grabs my waist and turns to me halfway around to face him but I keep my eyes close not wanting him to see my eyes that show the effect he has on me. I feel his hand slowly cup my cheek and my breath hitches.

"Baby, open your eyes" he sighs and I slowly open my eyes, he looks right at them smiling.

"Why are you hiding them?"

"Because I couldn't control them when I saw you!" I say truthfully he chuckles.

"Amber I want to see them, I want you to be able to express yourself so don't hide from me... ever" I nod, he leans in to kiss me. We haven't kissed since before his betrayal but he's apologized and I can tell he actually regrets it.

He has been the best mate I could've asked for, he makes me feel wanted and loved something I hadn't experiences. I meet him halfway and wrap my arms around his neck pulling myself to him as he wraps his arms around my waist.

The kiss is sweet and gentle but it quickly turns to fiery and passionate, we end up in the bed with him on top of me. He breaks the kiss and goes to my neck giving me light kisses around my mark giving me a sense of euphoria.

A jolt of pressure comes when he finally kisses my mark, I grab his face bringing him back up to my lips. He breaks the kiss once again only this time he rests his forehead against my own.

"We should probably stop before I won't be able to control myself or my wolf and trust me he wants to be mated but I'll keep suppressing him until you're ready" he lifts his face so that we're able to look at each other. We are both showing our wolf eyes and clearly our wolfs want the same thing. His respect towards me just magnifies my love towards him.

"Did you just say love?!" my wolf screams.

"Uh..."

"You did! You need to tell him" I contemplate if I should.

I push her back and bring my hands up to his neck slowly pulling him back down for another kiss, I break it and I know I'm ready.

"I...I love you" I confess.

He lifts up and his eyes flicker from golden to hazel then back to golden showing that they are both affected by my confession. He grabs my hands lifting me up to sit down, I wait for him to say something but all he does is looking at me.

Out of nowhere, his eyes turn hazel and he gets down from the bed and starts to walk out the door. I follow in confusion as he heads to the front door, in his briefs. I start to panic thinking he's going to leave me, he stops at the porch and I stay close behind him still no idea as to what's going on then all of a sudden he yells.

"SHE LOVES ME!" I laugh but go to him putting my hand over his mouth.

"Shhh! You're going to wake people up and you're on your boxers" he looks down and shrugs looking back up to me, he smiles and holds my face while he kisses me.

"I love you too!" I reach up to wrap my arms around him and hug him.

"Did you really have to do that?"

"Yes, the world needs to know that you are finally in love with me as I've been of you" he taps my nose and I scrunch it up.

"Let's go back before someone sees you" I close the door behind him, I thought he was going to walk upstairs but he lifts me up and I wrap my legs around his waist and held onto his neck. He takes us upstairs and he lays me down in the bed with him again on top of me.

"I don't think you should hold back anymore," I say he looks at me confused until he understands what I'm saying.

"Are you sure?" I nod pulling him to me starting one of the most beautiful nights I have ever had.

By the end of the night, his and my name appear on our marks completing our mating. My name on his mark and his on mine symbolizes that I am his and he is mine in every way possible.
