Epilogue

Klaus

At the third shrill scream of my little human I can't take it anymore and I'm ready to invade the room and do whatever it takes to make her pain stop.
— Klaus, no! — Vladimir screams, jumps off the sofa and starts pulling me by the arm so I don't invade the next room, which makes my wolf want to leave. — And don't transform, the beast is too tall for its new home! You guys just managed to finish settling in here on the island!
—She's in pain! — I growl, not understanding how you could think that I It would be nice to hear Karina tousle her hair while Astor looks at her vagina. — Stop holding me back and let me go! — I jerk my body to the right, but my uncle foresees the movement and doesn't soften his grip.
— Leave your wife alone, she's giving birth! It was agreed that you I wouldn't stay in the room. — You are forced to use brute force against me, putting all the strength in your body in your hands.
At first I stayed by our bed watching everything closely, but every time Karina had a contraction I wanted to dig in my claws and pull the puppy out, I was banned from the room.
— I'm going to get that child out of her now! — I scream, already out of control because I can hear Karina grinding her teeth in pain and it's too much.
If I had known that the story of Astor being able to have a painless natural birth was a lie, I would never have left my human in your hands.
—Stop being crazy, this way you'll have just one puppy. She is not going wanting to have no more children with you.
— A puppy is fine, I don't want Karina to feel pain ever again.
How would I let my female go through this more than once? What sane man would allow that?
— Klaus, f— — Vladimir starts shouting, however, at his sentence in the halfway through, because suddenly a shrill cry starts, the cry that makes my heart beat like I've been running for hours.
I stay in place, holding my breath. All my fury disappears and so does my ability to walk. Even my uncle and my orange cat rush into the room before me, leaving me unresponsive in the room.
— What a beautiful girl, Karina — I hear Vladimir say and they talk for a while. little, however, even so I can't move forward.
A room away is the puppy I've been waiting for months to meet, but my whole body has shut down and I feel a very strange terror now. I can even taste my fear in my mouth.
The baby was born.
The baby is here, a few steps away from me.
But I can't walk! My legs just don't respond!
— Lena was born, Klaus, come and meet her — Karina speaks in a voice very hoarse and low from inside the room, but I am not able to obey your request.
— The baby is born, Klaus, come in! — Astor calls and I think I'm in shock. My eyes are full of water and I'm shaking a lot, my insides feel very messy.
— Come and meet your daughter — Karina calls again, so I breathe I take a deep breath and force my legs to move. I can't stay outside forever, at one point or another I'll have to admit that this is all real, not just a dream too good to be true.
As soon as I enter the room lit with the sunlight of Rigan, the new island we live on, my mouth becomes even drier. I think I was only that nervous when Karina fell into the pool and almost died.
My female's face is very red and all sweaty, her dark hair forms a cloud on top of her head, as she is disheveled after a few hours of contractions, and she is already lying back in bed, with the baby wrapped in a blanket. bloodied in his lap.
The most common thing for my species is to have puppies squatting, so I'm not surprised by the chair in the center of the room where Karina must have leaned on to push.
— E-she was born — I stammer softly, standing on the wooden doorframe of the door.
spacious cabin, trying to engrave in my head the most beautiful image in the world.
Karina, who is wearing my t-shirt with a lot of my scent on it, holds the puppy against her chest. Little Lena has black fluff on her head, fine dark hair like mine and her mother's. She doesn't have horns yet, but they will soon be born, however, she already has a small dark tail, which is sticking out of the blanket and wags slowly.
— Come and meet her. — Karina continues to encourage me, talking quietly so as not to scare the baby who has stopped crying now, so I force myself to walk again and stop next to him on the double bed. — Look how pretty she is.
— She's really beautiful — I reply, looking at my female's face, who so bravely went through this painful birth. She is radiant, with her pink lips swollen from biting them and a trail of her tears under her eyes.
— You're not even looking at the baby's face, you fool. — Smile tired. —Sit on the bed — he orders and like an obedient dog, I sit in the empty space on top of the light sheet. In fact, all I have been to my wife is an obedient dog, the Klaus Dark Elf of months ago would be disgusted. — I'll put you on her lap and you can see her better, okay?
— On my lap? — I widen my eyes and focus on that little thing and soft in your arms. One of my hands must be the equivalent of at least twenty of the child's hands. — No, not on my lap. Stay with her.
Lena still has blood in her folds and has stopped crying, but now the puppy is staring at me with moss green irises that look exactly the same shade as mine, and it's scary. However, her eyes are a bit elongated like her mother's, which created a beautiful mix.
I always thought that newborn babies all had the same “knee face” they say, but I swear to God that Lena is the most beautiful puppy in the world.
— She's your daughter, you have to take her. — Karina moves slowly with the baby on my lap, holding her firmly, and comes towards me on the bed, but I immediately dodge it.
— Better not, I'm going to hurt her. I'm very big. — I shake my head and watch the baby move its arms and legs. It even looks like a doll, it's so surreal.
— It won't hurt, she's your puppy. Now come closer to me put her in your arms.
— Stay with the puppy, Karina, I'm going to hurt her. When she gets bigger I caught. — He continues to deny it.
— It won't hurt, I'll teach you how to hold it. — Before I can say anything, my female is already placing the little bundle that is Lena in my arms.
My hands will automatically catch her so she doesn't fall in this process and Karina smiles at me, because of the strange but efficient way I manage to hold her. I'm as still as a statue, without applying force, as I could accidentally break something.
Then my vision becomes blurry and blurry, and when I least realize it, I'm crying on top of the puppy, who receives my tears on his face and starts crying too.
— Don't be like that, Klaus, it's your little girl. — Karina caresses him my shoulder and looks much more composed than I do. My female hugs me and leans on me, tired of all her effort.
— It's just that she's so small, I don't want to hurt her... — I stutter and sniffle,
without any pride in it.
— You are her father, my love, and she will grow up like you and become strong —
he explains in a motherly tone and I nod, looking at my daughter. — Now hold it like this, so she feels snuggled. — Karina makes me hold the baby closer to my chest. — And give me a kiss, my love — she says and I bend down to give her a peck, while the baby has her face pressed against my chest. — Don't cry, otherwise I'll cry too.
— It's just so beautiful — my voice breaks and I'm sobbing, like a scared puppy. I don't know what's happening to me.
- Let's take a picture? — Vladimir asks very excitedly. I had even forgotten about his and Astor's presence.
— Yes, let's take a photo to keep — Karina accepts from me, but I can't even lift my eyes to look at the camera while the photo is being taken.
This is the first day of many.

***

— And marriage, Karina? — I ask when little Lena has already picked up the sleep and all our guests left after meeting the puppy.
Now it's evening and the weather is a little cooler, which makes my female more comfortable. We have solar panels here, which give us energy to have fans, but they are never good enough and Karina didn't want air conditioning because that would be bad for a newborn Persian puppy.
— What about marriage? — he whispers, because the puppy slept while sucked on her breast.
We're in the double bed now and it's amazing how babies smell different, much softer. I know how puppies work and I've visited college friends who had several, but I don't think I ever really noticed them. So cute and fragile.
— You humans always marry, don't you? Even more so when
Do you have children together? I ask, observing how Karina is only in her panties, thrown onto the pile of pillows she made to lie on.
I might find that sexy if I didn't see how tired you are. She has dark circles under her eyes and they are almost closing as she holds Lena in a position so that she remains attached to her milk-filled left breast. My poor female urgently needs sleep and rest.
A baby that grows as fast as Lena is a lot of work for humans and I even had to give some of my blood so that Karina wouldn't get sick.
— We are mated and our life is a mess, Klaus, no
There's a way to have a wedding. — She shakes her head and suddenly her whole body jolts, which makes her pull the baby from her chest immediately. —She bit me! — She screams, which makes the baby start crying and a drop of Karina's red blood run down her chest.
— Give it to me — I ask, already taking the puppy for me and starting to ninála.
Lena only wears a cloth diaper on her body, which we had to cut a hole for her bottom.
— I'm going to clean this up — he says as I slowly rock the baby. Soon she
She stops crying and I put her in the little crib, made to imitate the hug of the womb or something like that.
Sincerely? I couldn't memorize everything about motherhood. Too many things have happened in the last few months with Vladimir and his new companion and Dante getting involved in all of this too, making a huge mess. It was too much for me.
So when Lena sleeps, which happens quickly, I go to the bathroom to check on Karina. However, when I find her, my little one is sitting on the toilet with the lid closed, crying profusely, sobbing and everything.
- What happened my love? — I kneel in front of you, worried.
— Did it hurt that much? Did she bite that hard?
— Aaaand she bit me, Klaus! She was born with her fangs and drew blood from my nipple! — he whimpers, with his face all red and an expression of deep sadness.
— Don't be like that. I put the puppy inside that little thing and we can leave it there for a while, right? You need to take a shower and get some sleep.
— I caress your face, seeing how fragile you are and it breaks my heart. — I can't leave her there, will something happen?
— I keep an eye on her, and Persian babies are much stronger than humans — I remember. — She doesn't catch diseases easily.
— I just want to be a good mother, but it's so hard — she complains and her body seizes up. shakes with more of your crying. — I'm swollen as hell, my feet hurt and soon I'm going to be flat-chested if she keeps biting! And I'll never get married, have an album with photos of us or be able to take my daughter to see her grandmother properly, because we live in the middle of the sea, hiding from everything and everyone! — Her lower lip trembles and she bursts into more tears.
I do the only thing I can think of right now and hug Karina, taking her entire body smaller than mine and squeezing it against me, while she finishes crying.
I know I'm sinning, even though I'm doing my best, because my best didn't solve all the problems. Seeing her crying like that leaves me almost breathless and I want to growl and kill everyone who is keeping us here.
— I promise you the most beautiful wedding in the world when everything It's resolved, I swear, and it will be soon. I will adorn you like the most beautiful princess you are and we will get married. — I stop hugging her, to look her in the eyes. I want you to know that I am serious. — I swear to you, mon polar, on my own heart, that we will return to living normally.
— Promise? — She whispers, managing to stop crying and starting to dry up. your tears.
- Promise. Now come here, I'll put you to sleep. — I shove I put my arms under her legs and lift her into the air.
Karina's hormones are completely messed up. She doesn't need to hear about difficulties or have more work to do. She needs to feel like she has someone to count on, and that someone will always be me.
— The baby will wake up at dawn to feed — he whispers while I enter our room and place her next to me on the bed, which doesn't have its mountain of pillows.
— I pick her up and put her on her breast to breastfeed. I am a nocturnal being, remember? And we're going to talk to Astor about making protection so your nipples don't get bitten anymore.
— It's okay — he says and sobs one last time, before falling asleep. deep about two minutes later.
I leave a kiss on his forehead and silently swear that this story doesn't end here. The coming times will be even more difficult, however, I will do everything I can to return to Red Town and get our lives back.
