The Beast's Virgin Claim

"Because I love it too much. Because you built this for me, for us. Because you did this all alone without any wolf to aid you."

"I apologize I still seem to be inaccurate in reading your emotions. I am happy you love it, indeed I pictured our pups and you running around on the timber floors as I built this place. It was my motivation to finish what I started. And I needed to do this alone, Theia. I had a lot on my mind that time and building this place distracted me."

"I suppose you began working on this a few weeks after I left for Italy." This perhaps was a sort of coping mechanism for him after I left.

"Yes. And I continued to work on this even after you returned for I wished to show it to you as soon as possible and now that the time has finally arrived I can admit that I am quite eager."

"Then show me the inside, I want to see the kitchen and living room first." I know for sure those are the two places where I shall spend most of my time. Once we have a bigger family the living room would perhaps be our place to share together.

When Phobos pushes open the oak door the first thing that greets me is the intoxicating scent of my moon blessed that has imprinted itself into the sturdy walls of our home, it is a cocoon of his essence embracing me and I allow my enthusiastic eyes to take in the craftwork of my male. The ceiling is not as high as it seemed from the outside but high enough to accommodate Phobos's towering being.

Straight ahead lies the cosy living room that possesses its own fireplace enveloped by two long couches that rest on either side with a long sheepskin mat that sits in the middle welcoming the presence of others to perch or sleep upon it. Tadeas would love it, I shall lay him down here after his baths he would enjoy the feeling of the carpet against his uncovered skin.

"The kitchen is the biggest room in our house."

"Why?"

"Because it is a place close to your heart. I wanted you to have enough space to keep everything you need after all you might have to feed numerous bellies in the future. I ordered a fresh set of spices for you as well. Look." He points to the kitchen at the left and indeed it is as he said.

Diverse spices decorate the voidness of the area arranged into small plastic packets upon the counter labelled with handwritten tags. "These are new spices some you might be unfamiliar with so I wrote their names for you. I have not put in anything else around here for I wanted you to tell me what it is that you need and I shall order it for you."

I am overwhelmed. I want to kiss him, I want to hug him, I want to give him a present in return for all this but what can I ever offer that would be equal to what he has done here.

"Right here is our room." He garners my attention as he forces open a vacant room right beside the kitchen. "It is much smaller than the other two but I wanted our pups to have more space to run around and decorate their rooms as they wished.

I do not need space as long as I have you beside me I can sleep anywhere." He beams as my throat closes up to his precious words and how thoughtful he was while making even the smallest of decisions. Never once has he put his needs before mine, Tadeas or his future pups.

"Show me the other two," I whisper seeking to reign in my raging emotions. I cannot handle this, my heart is overflowing and if I set my emotions free upon him to let them do as they please it would be utter chaos. I would cry yes, then I would laugh and then perhaps cry again which would only bewilder him even more.

Phobos steers me across the living room towards a closed door on the opposite side of both the kitchen and our bedroom that has the name 'Tadeas' carved onto it. In the room lies a small wooden crib that is attached to the wall. "Deimos had built a crib for Kal and briefed me on how to do so.

It is quite hilarious I must say that I am able to build a house but not a tiny crib." He laughs as he leans down to lay Tadeas upon his bed and the little one does not even make a sound rather he snuggles up further into it with his tiny thumb shoved into his mouth. "Shall we paint this room someday? I could even build you one of those rocking chairs you were speaking about."

"Yes. Yes, I would like that." I say quietly my palms balled into fists clutching onto my skirt as I let my eyes wander around the room taking in every nook and corner. This is where our firstborn shall spend most of his time in.

"Come I shall show you the last room. I think you shall like it." That brilliance in his eyes I can read it much better now so I know what it implies. It is another surprise for me, I never thought that this bestial male would be so fond of surprising me.

It is with a naughty slowness that he opens the door his excited eyes set firmly on my face examining my features as he reveals to me what lies on the inside. "Oh, Phobos!" I exclaim my palms clamping around my mouth to muffle my cry of amazement for this I hadn't expected at all.

The entire room is divided into two halves, the one on the left is more like an art room that possesses my every painting that Phobos made our wolves take from my former home on the day he claimed me nailed to the walls in a beautiful way.
