“I guess we have some big parties coming up, then. Just what we need after this war.” Reiya then looked between Jin and Chelsie. “I wonder how close you two are in your pregnancies.”
“They look to me to be around the same.” Hunter smirked, and they both looked at Brody and Chasen. “Seems like they like to do everything at the same time. When did you take Chelsie as your mate?”
Brody cleared his throat. “When I claimed her as my mate or when …”
“Okay I’m not listening to this,” Chelsie said as her face flushed red. “I’m going inside.”
“I’ll come with you.” Jin giggled, not wanting to listen to this part of the conversation either.
“Us too!! There’s baby shower talk to be had.” Susan and Renee bounded after the girls.
Ciana smiled. “I’m with them.” She turned and left as well, leaving Freja and Reiya behind as the only girls.
Brody and Chasen started comparing timelines as everyone listened. And while Chasen had marked Jin before Brody, they both were intimate with their mates the same day. And judging by how far along their mother had told them they were, both were due to be fathers around the same time.
“Okay, I think this is taking the twin thing too far.” Hunter chuckled. “But I am excited to be an uncle times two.”
“So, I have a question,” Adam said as he looked thoughtfully between Hunter and Reiya. “Reiya is the future Queen of the Fairies. Hunter is the King of the Werewolves. But Reiya’s also a werewolf. So is he her king, too?”
Lumi scoffed loudly in Reiya’s head.Hardly. We don’t submit to anyone.Reiya giggled. “Lumi says that would be a no.”
“Oh? But is it?” Hunter turned and grinned at his sister, who straightened up and stared her brother down.
“Go ahead. Order me to do something. It isn’t going to work.” Reiya shook her head. The future fairy queen could not be ordered around by anyone. It was the order of things. Just like how she wouldn’t be able to tell Hunter what to do as the King of the Werewolves. There was a level of separation from the role you were born into and the one you chose. She has chosen to follow the fairies, and her brother has chosen the werewolves.
Hunter shrugged his shoulders and smirked. “I guess there’s only one way to test it out.” Hunter stared at his sister. A strong, red energy surged out of him as he commanded Reiya to leave the area. She smiled at him and shook her head.
Yeah, that didn’t even phase me. He does know that I’m a special werewolf, right? I’m not the Alpha King or anything, but he can’t order us around.Lumi was panting happily with her tongue out. She found it a bit humorous.
“Well, now that we got that out of our systems …” Reiya giggled.
“Nope, she isn’t my subject. I can’t even feel her wolf, which is weird. You said you got your wolf, right?” Hunter tilted his head as he studied his sister.
“Would you like to meet her?” Reiya watched as Hunter nodded his head.Lumi, want to come out for a bit?
Do I need to answer that?
Reiya quickly shifted into Lumi. She had mastered shifting, and it was quick and effortless for her. She stood up straight and tall on her massive white paws as she fixed Hunter with a commanding gaze. Most werewolves would have to lower their heads. They wouldn’t be able to maintain direct eye contact, but that wasn’t the case with Lumi.
“Well, aren’t you a pretty lady?” Hunter said as he held his hand out. He brushed his hand on the wolf's head. It wasstrange. She was a werewolf. He could see her and feel her, but she wasn’t connected to him. It was like she was but wasn’t. Honestly, it was confusing. All he knew was it was like how it used to be before he became the King of the Werewolves. It was like she was from another pack in that sense. Her wolf was incredibly large. She wasn’t as big as his wolf, but he was the Alpha King. She was bigger than their mother’s wolf, who was already enormous for a female wolf.
Lumi chuckled.He’s trying to figure me out. No regular wolf is my equal.
Is it because I’m the fairy princess?
Not exactly, Reiya. While you can’t order him because he’s the King of the Werewolves, it’s different with me. I’m not a regular werewolf.
Of course not, you’re also part fairy.Reiya thought this was common knowledge.
That isn’t what I mean, Reiya.
Well for goodness’ sake, let it out already.
I was curious if he could figure it out on his own. Without telling him. Look how confused he looks.Lumi was panting happily, seeing his confusion. Suddenly, his eyes changed color as Blaze came forward. Blaze was now looking Lumi over carefully, as he had become intrigued. She could see he had finally put the puzzle together.
Well, I never thought I would see one of them again,Blaze said as he rested back in Hunter’s mind.
What does ‘one of them’ mean? Isn’t she a werewolf?Hunter’s silver eyes were fixed on Lumi.
