The Beast's Virgin Claim

They understood to whom exactly I was mated to at that moment for they saw the true essence of my wolf and me as we stood as one shielding our male. They instantly fled the room apprehension of me and Tadeas inundating them and I was left alone in the tranquil dimly lit room sitting upon shred bloody sheets with my blue-eyed male staring up at me full of curiosity. He still hadn't cried only gawked up at me and when he latched onto my nipple and fed from my bosom like he was starved we forged an imperishable bond that night a connection that would be strengthened with each year he matured before my eyes.

Gianna was the first to tear down that barricade I had put up barring the wolves out, she sprinted into the room disregarding the frantic calls of the others screaming at her to stop. She was squealing in delight as she neared me filled with excitement to see my male. When she had come close enough the little one had yanked at my forearm requesting me to show him to her. When her eyes finally landed upon Tadeas who was contently sucking on my teat her smile widened as though she had discovered a big treasure.

"Its eyes are not like yours." She stated her globes questioning as she peered up at me.

"It is a he, Gianna. And he holds the eyes of my mate."

"You have a mate?" She gasped with shock as if she hadn't expected it.

"Yes, I do." I giggled whilst I set a loose strand of her hair behind her ear as my thumb stroked her cheekbone. "You need a mate to make a pup."

"Really? I wanted a pup too and Ira told me that I can have one if I drink lots of milk and eat all my vegetables."

My laughter echoed around the room which made Tadeas draw back and let go of my teat. He stared up at me with broad doe eyes his mouth slightly open as though he was asking me what that sound was. It was his very first time hearing laughter and I swore he would hear its melody every day for the rest of his life. "That is also a good way to get a pup. You better listen to Ira."

She balled her palms into fists and pumped them into the air her eyes filled with determination. "I am going to get myself a pup!" She roared and my laughter increased. The only reason she wanted another member to add to her family was simply that she could play with them, there was still a lot of things she did not know and did not yet have the capability to understand.

Hearing our pleasant conversation Ira strode inside her orbs inquisitive yet also lightly cautious for I knew the other females had warned her both about my pup and who I was. But she still came towards me and leaned down to see him.

She gasped aloud and positioned her palms over her mouth her eyes enlarging and I straightened my back prepared to defend him from her if she had any filthy words to convey about him. "Your male is beautiful. I have never beheld such beauty before. I am so happy for you, Theia."

Tears brimmed in my eyes and my lips quivered as I strived to reign back my emotions. She was the first to say kind words to me after I birthed Tadeas. The others had scurried away as fast their feet took them and I received no words of blessing or joy but was met with fear and aversion all because of who he was. They saw what he held within him along with the darkness there was this immense power that shone through one which he would wield much earlier than any other his age. But to me, he was a more miniature version of Phobos and I finally came to understand why my mate was uncomfortable with visiting normal packs for this was what he was often met with.

"I apologize on their behalf, I shall make sure to punish them for how they have acted towards you and your male." With her spine straight she narrowed her eyes towards the shivering females who stood outside the door too scared to enter.

"Thank you," I whispered as I brushed away my tears with the rear of my palms.

"Give him to me, I will clean him and wrap him in a warm blanket so you could feed him after. Mia!" Ira called out her tone authoritative and strong.

Mia is one of her most trusted wolves she was recommended by Lumina. The female flashed her teeth at the cowering females huddled outside not happy with how they had treated me, she stayed outside to give Ira and me privacy I suppose.

"Luna." She bowed with respect greeting the both of us with the same title. The truth of who I was spread that quickly.

"Assist Theia, clean her up. Change the sheets so she and her male can sleep comfortably tonight." Ira said as she gently picked up a calm Tadeas from my arms and took him towards the small tub filled with lukewarm water that was kept on a table beside the bed. She then looked towards the females who stood outside her face scrunching up with distaste and fury. "You three fetch me some warriors. I will need them to guard Theia's room for a while and I will speak to Giovanni about your blatant disrespect towards our guest. He would be pleased to have your heads." She barked as they whined and bent their heads in submission before rushing away to bring her the warriors she ordered.

"You did not have to do that," I whispered.

"You would have done the same for me. Our world is used to condemning those who are different from us but I will not have my pack being that way. I feel it, the tremendous power that is simmering in your male he will make a fine Alpha.." She beamed at me as she cupped some water in her palms and poured it over his head that had patches of pale blonde strands that mirrored my own.
