He was very excited about the babies

Today was the day James and his subordinates departed on a hunting mission, this was a routine agenda that was held every once in a while. Everyone was busy including James, as they would be travelling for a long time after this.

"What about your pregnancy? I'm worried that your foetus isn't well. And what about yourself? Are you---"

"Enough! I'm sick of your babbling. Will you shut up?" I snapped at James.

Lately the babies in my womb have been getting more and more active, I get tired easily and get sore very quickly, my belly also feels like it's being torn apart from the inside, the twins are moving around like they're on a big baseball field. If they were born, the first thing I would do is pinch them until they cried loudly.

"You've been emotionally unstable lately, what's bothering you?" James asked in surprise.

I pointed at my stomach emotionlessly. "Here, can you see? This distended belly of your offspring keeps getting tortured with their aggressive movements. I'm just an ordinary human, but what I'm carrying is a werewolf baby. It's still lucky I didn't die because they kept kicking in there."

James looked at me pityingly. "I'm sorry."

James approached my belly, his hand gave off a flash of light that wasn't too bright and then the light travelled around my belly and then disappeared after entering there.

James whispered in my belly as he continued to stroke my belly. "Shut up, you little brats. You're hurting your mum with your aggressive moves."

Miraculously, after James said that, my tummy was instantly quiet, there was no violent movement. The babies seemed to be in a relaxed moment, sucking their thumbs and lying down quietly. How could a baby be commanded like that from outside the belly, I was a little envious that the babies I was carrying were more obedient to their father than me who was their mother.

"How do you do it?" I asked enviously.

"Just by mental contact, a father must have that with his sons," James said with a nosy grin.

I groaned in annoyance. "I go through all the trouble of carrying heavy babies and then having to deliver them while screaming in pain but they're more obedient to their father who only comes to say hello and reprimand them? It's not fair."

James laughed, he seemed amused. "You have to admit it, missy. Those babies know who their father is. Well I have to go now. Take good care of yourself, I'll be back as soon as it's all over."

To my surprise, James' hand landed on top of my head and it gently stroked my head. What's going on? Why is he turning sweet like this? Isn't he disliking me and just using me? But regardless, I didn't forget that he had already made Xezedha as his future Luna, I didn't want to interpret James' attention as his love for me.

"Keep your big hand away from my head, it makes it heavy," I said rejecting James' touch.

James just smiled and then stepped towards his group of men who were getting ready in front of the castle gates. They were very ready and full of confidence to depart with James. I hoped there would be no bad news upon their return, I was sure they were a very powerful group of werewolves.

"Why Mistress? Are you sad about being abandoned by my future mate? You're shameless, you're still able to stare at another woman's man's back with such a hopeful gaze. You bastard woman."

Again I had to chat with Xezedha, this woman always took the opportunity to chat with me even though the content of the conversation was just swearing and insults. Or maybe she'll get smallpox if she doesn't say something bad to someone for one day, I thought.

"Who's looking at who? I'm looking at Afrow who is getting James' cloak. Are you blind? It's a shame that you're a werewolf but you're not observant," I attacked Xezedha back with words.

Xezedha curled her lips upside down, she was very sarcastic with my words just now. It was obvious that Xezedha was shocked by my words, but I was sure that Xezedha would not do anything while there was still James between us. Xezedha will keep her image as good as possible in front of James so that she will be labelled as the best woman here.

Xezedha waltzed away, with a flick of her dress she left and re-entered the castle hallway. I don't want to rush away from James and Afrow's flock, I know my current situation is not safe because of their absence here. Even though Afrow is intentionally keeping watch at the castle, I'm most worried about Xezedha doing something reckless.

There was a mixed feeling when I saw the departure of James and the soldiers, perhaps it was because of the dramatisation effect of the atmosphere that made me see this atmosphere in another form. I slightly felt that this departure was making me sad, but what reason do I have to be sad? This was just a normal departure.

"Are you okay?"

James touched my shoulder, since when is he next to me? I was daydreaming until I didn't realise he was next to me now.

"I'm fine, just focus on your journey after this," I said pretending to be strong.

"Really? I can actually skip this activity if you want. Would it be better if I stayed at the castle?" asked James.

I gaped in amusement. "No, that's ridiculous. You think I'm sad that you're going? What did you do that for? It's embarrassing."

James smiled understandingly at me. "Alright, don't get mad at me again. I won't do that. By the way can I kiss your belly before I leave? I'm going to miss those twins."

I glanced at her for a moment and then nodded. "They're your babies too, so go ahead if you want."

James smiled happily and immediately slid down to align his head with my belly. He kissed my belly gently and fondly, occasionally rubbing his face against my belly and kissing my belly again.

"Daddy is leaving on a big trip, do you want to wait? Will you? Oh great, you two are a smart babies," James said jokingly.

I tried not to look happy when he did that. If I look at this situation it's enough to warm my heart, who wouldn't be happy to see an enthusiastic father who loves his children?

"Alright, I guess that's enough. I'll be leaving---"

"You're just saying goodbye to them?"

I turned my head, I don't know since when Xezedha was behind me, even though she entered the castle earlier, but now she was beside me again. Xezedha must have felt jealous and also wanted to be treated like that by James, I don't want to compete about this matter, it's up to her if she wants to be intimate with James.
