Luna On The Run!

Luna Ariel’s POINT OF VIEW again

I am lying next to my mate in a hammock on the back terrace, enjoying the peace.

The pups are with the nannies, this is the time we set aside for each other, without them around. We really need it. All day long we are each busy with our own things and in the evening, we fall into bed next to each other dead tired.

Now that we have two pups, I cannot spend as much time in Gorgio’s office as I used to. I am a hands-on mum who likes to take care of them myself. The nannies are there to help as the two are very active. So Gorgio and I have agreed to set aside one day a week for us to be alone. On that day, I bathe the twins in the morning and hand them over to the nannies while Gorgio takes care of some urgent business that cannot take more than two hours.

Then we are together. Sometimes we stay in the packhouse and relax but more often we go on picnics and swim in my favorite lake. A few times we go shopping at the mall in Human Town, like a carefree couple without offspring.

But today we decided to just laze around on the terrace. It is scorching hot and the maids have set up a big carafe of water and soft drinks for us on a nearby table.

The hammock swings gently as I surround myself with the warmth of the man of my heart. We are five years on from the birth of our children and our lives have become so much fuller. Sometimes we cannot believe we have created them, these two gems.

David Gorgio is a demanding little guy, so self-confident and in control. He often surprises us with his attitude, he is a born Alpha. And he is always there to help his sister with whatever she needs. He spoils her and makes sure she has everything she needs. The nannies often tell me about his funny comments and actions.

Our little princess Adlin Rain is clearly the apple of Gorgio’s eye. He is always alert when she is around and often takes her with him to his office when he has guests. The father praises his daughter and almost all the Alphas from the surrounding packs know our girl. So she is protected by both her brother and her father.

Clarita’s son and daughter are a few minutes younger than ours. She often brings her twins to be with ours. The cubs are friends and we are very happy about that. We certainly do not want the old rivalry between their fathers to continue.

But what I notice more often is the possessiveness of Albert Zane, Clarita’s son, towards Adlin Rain. At every visit, we have had to calm down arguments between him and David Gorgio. Albert Zane wants our girl all for himself. At the table he feeds her single-handedly, demands that she sit next to him and tenderly dabs at her mouth when she finishes her meal. We often laugh about it, but it persists and becomes a serious matter.

“Gorgio, haven’t you noticed anything between Albert Zane and our girl? Is it normal for him to be so possessive of her? He is always around her, even when you pick her up or take her away, he glares at you angrily. And then those fights with David Gorgio,” I point out meaningfully.

“Yes, I’ve noticed. The little ones know what they want. I just don’t want a rivalry between them. Our boy doesn’t give up easily. And he does not really like Clarita’s son”.

“Is it bad? Do you think it will work out when they are older? I don’t want a repeat of you and Zane,” I answer with a pang in my heart. Now that things have settled down between the packs, I don’t want to go back to the tense times of the past.

“No, there will be no triangular mating between the cubs. But our son will make sure that whoever is our daughter’s mate, is worthy of her. He will not just let her go. Albert Zane will have to earn our daughter, he will have to prove himself as an Alpha first.”

“So you think they will be mates?” To be honest, I like the idea of Adlin Rain becoming Midnight Moon’s Luna. Zane couldn’t get me as his mate, and if the Moon Goddess decides that my daughter belongs with his son, then the original plan will be fulfilled. Besides, it seems great to have my girl close to me and not find a mate far away.

“Well, as it turns out, Albert Zane already feels the mate bond. Only he is not aware of what he feels, but it is there. All the signs point to it”.

“Hmmm, but did you also see how Esmee Clarita is after our son? But the boy keeps rejecting her. Yesterday, he asked me to banish her from our pack. And when I asked him why, he complained she was too clingy.”

We both burst out laughing. The behavior of our pups really keeps us on our toes. It is very interesting to see how, at such a young age, they are already showing strong leadership qualities. Both Clarita’s twins and mine are developing early and already understand their future responsibilities.

The Elders of the pack are teaching them, albeit gently and childishly. We all want them to have a relaxed childhood and not have to take on all sorts of responsibilities right away. That’s all for later.

“I expect there will be some surprises for us to be on the lookout for, Ariel. Fiona brought King Jasper’s granddaughter a month ago, remember? The girl was all over David Gorgio. Little Esmee Clarita didn’t like that and a fight broke out, which Clarita quickly put down. I guess you missed it.”

Eyes wide open, I sit up straight and stare at my mate. I’m shocked as hell.

“Is this about what I think? Gorgio, we can’t have that anymore. No more triangles, that would be terrible,” I exclaim in horror. Fortunately, he agrees.

“Of course, especially with our genes. We fought against this kind of mating, only the Moon Goddess knows what would have happened between us if Clarita had not appeared to be Zane’s mate,” Gorgio sighs.

“How do we prevent this? All we can do is keep the princess away from our pack. But it’s not up to us to keep them apart if they are mates later”.

“Don’t worry. We’ll think of something later. Maybe things will be different when they go to college and make other friends. It’s too early to worry.” I don’t quite agree with him, but I trust that we’ll figure it out together. Our pups’ happiness comes before anything else.

“Come here, my love. I want to talk to you about something.”

Hmmm, I know this tone of Gorgio’s all too well. My mate is up to something. Tenderly, he pulls me back onto his chest and starts nibbling at my earlobe while his hand caresses my back. I sigh contentedly, these sparks never cease to excite me.© 2024 Nôv/el/Dram/a.Org.

“Babe, Xander and Era agree that we should have more cubs. Two is really not enough. The pack is big and David Gorgio will need help to manage it all, especially if he gets a demanding Luna”.

I smiled, of course, Era discussed this with me first, no, she begged me for another beautiful pup like Adlin Rain. She argued that our girl would need a sister to do girly stuff with later on.

“When did you plan to start, love?”

“How about now?”…
