The Beast's Virgin Claim

(Hush now. I am here.)

"He is as serious as you, he does not like games." I giggle.

"I wish to begin his official training but how can I if he gets upset at my trials. Pups adore to play this way but he loathes it I do not understand."

"He is just different than the rest."

"Perhaps I need to be stricter with him."

"You cannot be strict with him admit it," I say.

"I can, I must but I do not wish to oftentimes. Father trained Deimos when he turned three and I began my training when I turned one." One? That is too early for a pup. I would like to question him more about his father but Phobos barely talks about him or his mother. It is a part of his past he is not willing to reminisce about or share any details of.

"There is still a lot of time, let him remain a pup for a little while longer. I just want him to have a normal life like the rest of the pups his age. To go out and play, to get into trouble and even be rebellious."

"That is not possible for him, Drahá. He will be King, he cannot afford to be a typical pup. And Tadeas is not normal we both know this. I have decided to properly begin his training as soon as he starts to walk."

My eyes widen to his decision and I shake my head in objection. "Phobos, please. Give him more time." I know how brutal his training would be and how Phobos will do his best to make sure Tadeas shall have required control over his beast when he is fully birthed. It will be painful for my little beast and unendurable.

I do not want him to go through it at such a young age, I do not want him to know the meaning of raw pain while he is still young.

"Theia. You do not understand. It is his obligation, it is his future."

"Please. At least until he is eighteen months." My lips wobble to my surging emotions at the thought of Tadeas in discomfort or undergoing physical suffering and I stare up at Phobos with bleary pleading eyes.

Studying my features he shuts his eyes and lets out a long sigh of resignation. Dragging me to his warm chest he presses his lips against my forehead to grant me a caring kiss. "How can I ever say no to you when you look at me like this? If this is what you want for him as his mother then so be it. Tadeas can begin his official training next year."

"Truly? You will not change your mind?"

"No. I give you my oath."

"Thank you." I nuzzle into his chest with gratitude as our male forcefully yanks on my hairclip with a harshness that startles me.

"Tadeas." Phobos snarls with scolding whilst prying his tiny hands off me but it does not stop him for he only tries harder to obtain it. Tadeas is very...persistent. If there is something he likes or wants he will stop at nothing until he holds it in the palm of his hand.

"He wants my clip, I suppose because it is shiny." I chortle whilst unhooking it from my head and presenting it to him. He immediately clutches onto it staring down at the clip with awe only to shove the plastic into his mouth and suck on it enthusiastically.

"He truly is a peculiar male." Phobos smiles down at Tadeas with a keen fondness as he meets his father's gaze as though understanding that he is talking about him. My moon blessed raises his eyebrow in challenge only to lean down and take a big bite from his plump cheek as he oftentimes does with me earning a high-pitched squeal from the little one. Troublesome males.

"A peculiar male like you," I reply as I put on my winter attire and Phobos merely shoves his male further into his chest while shrouding him with his coat so he will be warm stuck to his father's body heat. "He will suck on your nipples you know?" I tease and Phobos visibly stiffens behind me.

"He is already at it. I wonder how he still has not understood that he will not find his meal in them?"

"Perhaps he finds comfort from the action of sucking."

"Like I find comfort from suckling on your breasts?" He questions while shutting the cabin door behind us and my cheeks burn feverishly to his nonchalance when he talks dirty things.

"Tadeas does it for comfort and you do it for pleasure. There is a difference."

"Oh really? Well, I feasted on your milk just like him so I-" I slap my palm over his mouth shutting him up before he could continue and he grins wickedly down at me.

"You better watch your words in front of our wolves, Alpha Phobos." I bare my teeth at him with a threatening growl and his smile widens even more his eyes darkening with a need that cages him.

He gives me a terse bow and meets my eyes with a naughty promising regard that stirs me up further. "Of course, Luna Theia."

"You do not want to be disciplined by me do you?"

"Oh but I do." He growls into my ear nipping at my earlobe his fingers tickling my sides and I laugh aloud working to get away from him. "Once we finish our duties for the day, I wish to take you and Tadeas into the wilderness."

"For what?"

"To show you our new home, one that I built for our family."
