Chapter 69
Getting to the clearing I still am in shock at what he told me about pups. Then my mind spins about how could I have a pup with Rhett I know from research that when a wolf has more than one mate they have to be mated to them both before a she-wolf could carry a pup. So sinking into his back half laying half sitting on him. “little wolf what has you in such a state?” “ well I know that when wolves have more than one mate has to be marked and mated to have pups but if that's true how would I have pups with you and chad in the future and you are in the past?” I tell him through our link. What he said shocked me beyond words. “not when with dragons my love. Since dragons always have two mates and we are a rare breed we can have offspring with only one mate marked and mated. Yes, the offspring will be stronger with all three mates together but it's not necessary to have a dragon your heat in a few days will increase the chances of creating a pup.”
Shooting up to a full sitting position. Looked at the sky then my watch doing the math in my head and nope the full moon is in two weeks. “what do you mean you marked me a week ago the full moon is a week away?” “I am sorry to burst your bubble little wolf but the full moon cycle starts tomorrow and it would be best to be in the den for the heat as dragon heat is a little different than wolf heat.” “ya well I am a wolf and mated I will be fine I have to find Janet and stop this.” “yes you are a wolf but I am a dragon you go into heat I go into heat. And unlike wolves, I will take anyone around mated or not. Dragons have a high drive to produce offspring. Because we are so rare it's a need so when mated we have heated with our mates. So if you don’t mind me taking another female-” growling loudly before he can finish his sentence the chuckle tells me he had been messing with me. “fine how long will it last?” “as long as your heat. Shall we head to town to stock up on supplies?”
Tomorrow I go into heat and if what he says is true I could end up carrying an egg soon. This has to be the craziest thing I have ever heard of. “so how long would I carry the egg?” “If you are having a dragon you will be pregnant with the egg for as long as you are normally pregnant. So your body cycle is not, really changed just the offspring.” what he said shocked me more. “from what mother said it's different for the races too. Like because you are a wolf the eggshell will be softer than the shell I was in. Mother said double dragon parents have bigger harder eggs as they will lay them in dragon form and we have scales that could slice the egg. As you are not a dragon the shell won't fully harden until after it's been in the hellfire for a few days. This gives the offspring time to stretch out and settle in the egg pushing the walls out where they need to be for development. If we don’t have a dragon it will be a normal pregnancy.”
“so we either have a wolf or a dragon?” “and our third mate depending on what he is.” “he's a witch” “what?” his wings still dropping us for a few seconds before he catches the wind again. “I don’t think I heard right did you say our third is a witch?” confused I tell him I am serious. All I can feel is confusion through the bond. But then I think over the visit with the witch just now. “dragons and witches don’t get along?” “it's more like a power struggle. Witches think they should rule over the clans yet the dragons do. Witches refuse to bow down to an animal or beast. You’re an alpha as you keep saying so you know what it's like to be disrespected.” listening to him I think over what I know about dragons and witches and the history. This explains why the witches hunted down the dragons.
Landing in a clearing near a small village I feel close to the howling winds pack. They are an older pack that's been neutral for as long as anyone can remember. They help everyone and everyone helps them. When packs fight they stay out of it. Coming to the market I smell the sweetly spiced apple scent behind me. “rogue what are you doing here?” sniffing the air I keep my back to them showing I do not fear them. Counting five scents. “I am no rogue sniff again. No rot in this soul. You sir should get your sniffer checked.” Rhett stiffens next to me ready to act. “don’t you dare these wolves to need a good kick in the balls she-wolves are equal to males.” I growl through our link.
“big words coming from a little girl. Having the young lord as your bodyguard wont save you.” I can hear the sneer in his voice. “I suggest you take your pet and leave.” this is so not the same howling winds pack I met with before. They have a saying together we stand apart we fall. Its been their motto for as long as the written records are kept. So I smirk at the apple I am holding and I start the motto “together we stand” I wait when a younger male voice replies “apart we fall. How do you know that? who are you?” the young boy says. Curious now I turn around.
It's not a boy it's a girl?
