Lover Sacrificed - Chapter 61

As soon as night fell, they were in the car, Fritz was driving back to the mansion.

They had spent the rest of the day packing, sleeping and making love. Darius hadn't wanted her to dematerialize and since Katya was coming with them anyway, the best way to go was by car.

The poor doggen had looked flustered when Nalla had insisted she was welcome at the mansion, and Fritz had been delighted to reassure her they needed more staff and the lord would be pleased to have her. She had quickly been on board with the plan afterwards.

She settled in comfortably against Darius' chest, looking out the window as they started the 40 minute drive. She peeked at the new Falcon building that was being built, an exact copy of the Commodore, and she wondered if any of the brothers would buy the penthouses.

Darius squeezed her hand.

- Are you ok?

She nodded.

- I can't wait to see everyone again. I've missed them so much. My brothers must have grown so much.

He caressed the back of her neck.

- We'll be there soon.

He distracted her talking about things that had happened in her absence and before she knew it, they were passing through the mhis V had around the brotherhood lands.

A few minutes later they reached the gates and it took another couple of minutes before they finally parked in the courtyard. Her parents were already waiting for her.

Biting her lip she got out of the car and found herself smashed against a stong male chest.

- Dad.

She sighed happy as she hugged him tight.

- Nalla?

He let go of her, looked at her through narrowed eyes and then opened them wide in shock.

- Ah hell no.

He shook his head.

- Daddy, it's ok. I'm ok.

Aaaaaand down he went.

Thank the Scribe Virgin Darius was there so her father didn't hit the concrete.

- Zsadist?

Her mahmen looked confused for a moment, looking at her, down at her father and back up at her.

As understanding dawned, and Bella undoubtedly smelled Nalla's pregnancy, her mouth formed an oh and then she shrieked as she hugged her daughter.

- Oh my God, Oh my God. Is it true? Are you really...?

Nalla nodded as Beth and Wrath joined their happy reunion just outside the mansion.

- What the hell is going on?

Beth looked at Nalla with tears in her eyes.

- Nalla is going to give us a grandchild.

Wrath looked dumbfounded.

- Wha... come again?

Darius clapped his father on the back.

- You're going to be a granddad.

Wrath let out a shaky breath and was quiet for a brief moment.

- Nalla?

- Yes my Lord?

- None of that my lord bullshit. Come here and give your father-in-law a hug.

She embraced him as she had her dad. George whimpered next to them, wanting some attention for himself.

- I am so so sorry.

Whoa. The King was apologizing to her?

No way.

- It's ok my L... Wrath. Really.

- No it's not. I was a stubborn asshole, and that almost cost you and my son to lose the love of your life. I just didn't know and...

- It's ok now. Really.

- Damn but you're a female of worth. Let's get you inside and share the news with everyone else. We need to toast to this! D, get some of the brothers to carry Z inside. Damn pussy.

She smiled, ever since Payne had arrived at the mansion, pregnancies were no longer feared as much, but still they toasted to the Scribe Virgin as was tradition.

As she walked in she saw all her friends, all the shellans, the brothers... jeez, she had even missed the doggens!

Her little brothers Qhuinn and Rehv hugged her while Darius rubbed her back in silent support.

She was finally home.

-*-*-*

Wrath felt like he couldn't breathe. He was going to have a grandchild.

Fuck if that didn't make him feel like a fool for making Darius follow through with that mating shit.

His sons bonding scent was thick in the air and his and Nalla's happiness was almost a tangible thing.

Zsadist had finally come around and clapped him on the back.

- It's a girl.

His voice was thick with emotion.

- Rehv says it's gonna be a baby girl.

- Damn.

He rubbed his jaw, smiling.

This meant he needed Sax to change some of the old laws to allow females to rule.

His heart swelled with pride at the thought of his granddaughter ruling the race.

Hell, even if it was a boy, there was no way he was leaving such a sexist law in place.

- Damn Wrath, my baby girl, is gonna have a baby girl. Fuck. I'm so not ready for this shit.

Wrath chuckled.

- You'll be fine my man. But she is never leaving this mansion.

- Ever.

- Amen to that.

They pounded knuckles as Darius approached them.

- Dad, Z, can we get in touch with the Scribe Virgin? I need to get mated to Nalla like, yesterday, you feel me?

- Yeah son, we feel you.
