The Beast's Virgin Claim

"Not really, Deimos is content with what we have. And I as well feel my hands are full most of the time. I do not think we will have any more at least planned ones. What about you both?"

"I think we will have more. Phobos wants a big family and so do I."

"Wow, so I will be an aunt to many more. This thrills me." Lumina sways on her feet swinging Tadeas as he lays his head on her chest once more sucking his thumb indicating to me that he is at ease.

"Phobos and I were actually discussing something today...about the castle."

"What about the castle?"

"Apparently the east wing belongs to him and he hadn\'t claimed it before but I-I..." How do I tell her this without coming out as possessive or rude?

"You want to claim it now because of the memories you have there." She finishes for me her glamorous greys rooting me to my spot with a knowing gaze.

"Yes. There are vacant rooms there and Phobos said we could make it our second home. I apologize I do not really wish to intrude that way and take a part of your home but I thought it would be a nice way for our families to bond and for our pups to forge closer friendships."

"Oh please, I think I would be the first to stand in line to welcome you there I would love to have you around. Deimos had narrated the entire story of how close Phobos and you were and how our lands hold so much significance to you. We are family you are always welcome. As for the vacant rooms, we can decorate them together if you wish for it.

I have these existing stunning designs stored I can show them to you." Tears brim in my eyes at her kindness, she is always so understanding of my needs and wishes.

"Thank you so much," I murmur my voice barely a whisper as I swallow the lump behind my throat that diminishes my sudden need to cry.

"No need to thank me, Theia. I-" Her sentence is cut short as her male\'s brawny arms girdle around her slender waist from behind to draw her to his chest. She is brisk to tilt her head to the side and bare her canines at him warning him to let her go but he does not pay heed to her merely tightens his hold on her knowing she will not fight him as Tadeas is relaxing in her arms.

"Is my female still upset with me?" He mumbles into her hair his voice velvety and soothing.

"I do not wish to speak with you." She turns her attention back to me but I witness how his lips slope downward, I can almost notice the droop of his ears and his pout.

"Why?"

"Because all you did since we got on that jet was complain and after we got here you were enough kind to humiliate me like that."

"I do not like disturbing my brother unless absolutely needed."

"I wanted to spend time with my family, was that so bad? It does not matter for next time I shall come alone without you."

"Lumina. Do you truly mean this?" He questions her with wounded eyes that Lumina does not meet on purpose.

"You always do this, Deimos.

"I am sorry." His lips press against the side of her head as he keeps his vivid greens glued to her face studying her shift in feelings. "I will stand by you always, you know this. I will never do it again so do not be upset with me, my female."

I see the way her fight perishes the way her body just dissolves into him to his apology as he lovingly nuzzles her neck. "Are you aware of your mistake of rudely barging into their house like that despite my persistent warnings?"

"Yes." She nods her greys pivoting to peer at the floor with subtle shame.

"Where is my apology?"

"I am sorry." She utters with no hesitance which has her male smile softly down at her. Deimos grasps her jaw and angles her face to the side to meet his as he delicately strokes her cheekbone with his thumb.

Leaning down he plants a doting kiss against her lips his eyes never leaving hers. "I love you." She once more gives him a terse nod and he lifts his eyebrow in question.

With a muted sigh, she stands on her tiptoes to sink her lips onto his. "I love you too."

"Are we good?"

"Yes, we are good Deimos." She smiles and he finally lets go of her diverting his attention to me.

"I apologize for interrupting your conversation." He says with a sharp nod of apology. This male and his manners he was always like this even when was a pup.

"Not at all."

"Lumina." My moon blessed\'s unsettled voice peeks into our conversation as we all turn to regard him. Elena sits upon his shoulder sobbing which has Lumina sigh and set Tadeas down on his feet.

"I think she needs to be changed. Her diaper is presumably full." Phobos gives her a brusque nod of understanding and directly passes the tearful pup to her mother.

"You can take her into the bathroom, it is in that corner over there." I point towards the door as Lumina takes a large pink coloured bag with white polka dots on it and wanders to the washroom while attempting to quieten the little one on her way there.

"Cake!" Kal squeaks avidly eyeing the squashed lemon cake that sits haughtily upon the table opposite the couch. "Can I have some?"
