Chapter 35

The climax hit like a freight train, a scream ripping from Thalia’s lungs. Every muscle tensed as the explosion of ecstacy burst from her core. Kade drank in every bit of Thalia’s climax, growling softly as Thalia’s release painted his tongue. It felt like an eternity but was actually only a few brief seconds of indescribable pleasure.

Thalia sank forward, dark chocolate locks sticking to her forehead as her muscles trembled and quivered. She thought she would be satisfied and yet she found herself hungering for more. The male behind her knew this as well, reading their bond easily. The truth was Kade was going out of his mind with want. His cock was throbbing, so hard it almost hurt such was the influence Thalia had over him.

"Billy." The brunette mewled, wriggling her hips a little.

Thalia didn't need to say anymore. Kade was only too happy to oblige Thalia silent request to be filled and thoroughly fucked. Deft fingers hooked under the waist of the soft pink knickers tugging them down to expose Thalia's waiting hole and those beautiful voluptuous globes. Kade couldn't resist running his tongue from the clit to the wet entrance before sinking his teeth into the fleshy left cheek. It earned him another cry, this one no less sexy nor less breathless than those that preceded it. Kade couldn't help the smirk that twitched on his lips as he replaced his teeth with his lips and sucked until a red mark began to form.

Pushing his boxers down, Kade let his hardened member spring free, the tip glistening. He had never been so aroused until he met Thalia. He wouldn't say he was disinterested but whereas before he could think clearly and get on with things he now found himself obsessed with thoughts of Thalia and all the ways his body and mind reacted to her.

His hand guided the tip of his cock to Thalia's entrance, burying it between the folds of her pussy and sinking deep inside of her in one swift movement. They both seemed to sigh with relief the moment they were connected, Thalia's walls contracting and gripping onto Kade's erection while he ploughed into her, pushing until he was completely buried within the hot wet channel. He didn't stop to adjust but rather began a quick rhythm of thrusting in and out, hands gripping Thalia's full hips as he fucked her.

The sound of skin slapping on skin repeatedly joined the moans that escaped Thalia with every quick thrust. Her eyes closed but mouth fell open to let every sound of her pleasure escape unhindered. She had foregone a bra that day so when she removed her top, her ample tits and hardened nipples had been exposed to Kade’s hungry sight. Now, with each thrust, the swollen mounds jiggled from the intensity much like her generous hips. She didn’t think it was possible to find release so quickly after the first time but as Kade’s lengths rubbed against her walls, a new orgasm began to grow like the dawn of a new day. It amazed Thalia that her body reacted so willingly to Kade. She had thought that after losing her virginity to him she would be too sore to consummate again and yet, despite the initial throb of soreness when Kad entered her again, her body had yielded to him willingly like someone starved of hydration being offered water. She remembered vividly how good it had felt the night before as well, which only added fuel to the flame.

Kade moaned suddenly, his hips suddenly working quicker and harder driving them both towards the edge. His cock glimmered with Thalia’s wetness which dampened her core, lips and insides of her thighs while her core swallowed him whole again and again. The heat of Kade’s seed filling her sent Thalia toppling over the edge, her walls contracting spasming as she came until her muscles felt like jelly and she collapsed onto the bed in a panting mess.

Above her, Kade growled in approval as the sight between Thalia’s legs as he watched his cock come out coated in both of their fluids. He eventually pulled out of her gently before scooping the young mum into his arms. He was quick to sink onto the mattress with Thalia in his arms, both of them still slightly breathless.

The silence settled over them like a comfort blanket, Kade’s arms wrapped protectively around Thalia while she nestled into him, cheeks flushed from their activities.

"That was amazing." Thalia murmured, nuzzling Kade's naked chest.

"It was and you are." Kade murmured, kissing the top of his mate's hair.

Thalia smiled before jumping, eyes snapping open as she looked at her stomach in surprise.

"What is it?" Kade asked quietly.

"Feel this." Thalia whispered, moving one of Kade's hands to the swell of her belly where her twins were safe and sound.

Just as Kade's hand settled on Thalia's tummy, they both felt the kick as subtle as it was.

"Are they okay?" Kade asked in concern.

"Yes." Thalia laughed softly. "They are fine. More than fine."

"So that was just one of them kicking?"

Thalia nodded, looking up into Kade's curious eyes. She couldn't but smile. Just six months ago she had been locked in the basement of some abandoned community centre miles from civilization, beaten and with no clue as to where she was. Now, by a series of strange events, she had her mate, she was with child. She had a family. It felt like things were turning around and that finally she had some happiness to cling to.

By the time Alpha Daniel Wolfe and future Luna Eva Larson arrived, the storm had passed and the weather had brightened into a promising summer's day. The warmth traveled on the soft breeze, while sunlight danced through the patchwork of leaves on the trees around the park. The static caravans were starting to fill with holiday makers but it would be weeks before the place was overrun with humans looking for a getaway and Kade intended for himself and Thalia to be gone by then.

Thalia had woken to a belly full of nerves that morning and little had settled it since. Kade had assured the young mother everything would be fine and while Thalia believed him, she couldn't deny that she struggled with meeting strangers. It was natural for shifters to be wary of those that weren't from their pack. It was like a built in security system that could only be engaged through trust and displays of goodwill. It was what drove packs to be so territorial, much like their wolven brethren.

Thalia had opted for a emerald green midi dress that had spaghetti straps meaning she could get away without a bra. It was a small blessing. Her breasts had swollen during pregnancy and the nipples were often tender and aggravated by the material of her bras. Her hair remained down in waves of espresso and lifted in the breeze as she worked on cutting the potatoes to make her favourite dish.

Kade had suggested a barbeque and once Thalia had given him a list of things for the meal he had gone to retrieve them dutifully before starting the coals. Now, While Thalia sat at the garden table outside, Kade stood watching the flames, his shirt open to expose his golden skin stretched over firm pecs and his taut abs. Thalia certainly enjoyed the sight and caught herself staring occasionally but her possessiveness had her glaring at any wandering eyes who dared to look at her mate like he was a piece of meat.

The low purr of a car and the crunch and crack of gravel under tires announced the arrival of the Hellhound's alpha couple. Immediately Thalia's heart began to race and she quickly wiped her hand on a cloth before standing.

"It's going to be great." Kade assured her, kissing her temple. "They will love you."

Thalia didn't have much time to think about it as an auburn haired woman with sparkling hazel eyes stepped out from the passenger side of a black SUV. A man climbed out from the driver's side, hair black as night and blue eyes that were the colour of stormy blue seas. While the woman's skin was all but blemish free, the man was covered in tattoos that disappeared under the white t-shirt he wore and only stopped when they reached his nails. It was obvious from how the pair moved that they were warriors and Thalia momentarily found herself not only respecting that but being envious. Her pack hadn't let females train to be warriors or hunters. The Aphrodite back wasn't as conservative as other packs in Greece who defined the roles of males and females by archaic rules but letting females train to be fighters was considered an embarrassment.

The alpha couple was also meant to show a level of authority over those in their pack. Being seen in such a relaxed manner was unheard of even at the Sunday dinners and yet here were two young wolves doing everything Thalia was told was unbecoming of an alpha family.

"Daniel, princess, I'm glad you could make it." Kade grinned, silver eyes lighting up at the sight of his friends.

"Well, we needed to make sure you are looking after yourself and your mate properly." Daniel teased, the two males sharing a hug.

"Don't listen to him." Eva chuckled, giving Kade a hug as well. "We've missed you."

"Aw, I knew you missed me princess!" Kade smirked taking a step back and stepping close to Thalia who had hung back out of shyness and respect. "Guys, this is Thalia, my mate."

"I'm so glad to finally meet you, Thalia." Eva smiled brightly, pulling Thalia into a warm embrace. "Welcome to the family."

Thalia was stunned by the friendliness and forwardness and yet wasn't out off. Perhaps it was the bond with Kade that let Thalia feel it but she could sense the sincerity in Eva's words and gestures. Even the alpha had an air of welcoming even if he was more reserved than his mate.

Despite the friendly reception, the soft roundness of Thalia’s abdomen made evident by the fit of the dress was on everyone’s mind. Just then, as if sensing everyone was thinking about them, one of the twins gave another soft kick and Thalia’s hand came up to rest on her belly instinctively in a gesture of protection.

“How about we sit down?” Daniel suggested, naturally taking charge.

Thalia simply nodded, her anxiety spiking again before she let Kade lead her back to the table. Kade took charge in clearing the table of the chopping board and other things Kade and Thalia had been using to make dinner. Soon the two couples were settled under the young summer sun.

“I don’t want to bring trouble to your pack.” Thalia finally spoke up, cheeks reddening with a blush.

“We know.” Eva smiled. “We haven’t come here to judge, I assure you.”

“The pack has been through a lot recently.” Daniel spoke up this time. “But, from the small amount Kade shared with us, so have you. That is why we offered to meet here rather than expect you to face the entire pack.”

“We don’t consider you a threat, Thalia but we understand your caution.” Eva carried on.

“Okay. Well there is something you need to know about the father of my children.” Thalia said.

With the warmth of Kade’s hand on her lower back, reassuring her and encouraging her, Thalia explained everything including her children’s heritage. The whole time neither Eva or Daniel’s face gave away anything about what they were thinking which didn’t help Thalia’s nerves in any way. When she finally finished, a silence settled between the four of them. Thalia glanced at Kade to find that the beta seemed relaxed and unworried. Searching for the mate bond, Thalia felt the familiar sensations of Kade’s emotions and he was indeed confident as if he knew something that Thalia didn’t.

“I’ve not heard of different species being able to mate.” Daniel finally spoke up. “But until five minutes ago I didn’t think demons existed anymore.”

“Anymore?” Eva asked in surprise.

“How do you think we got our pack name?” Daniel’s lips twitched into a soft smile. “Thousands of years ago, demons and angels did in fact roam the earth much like dragons did. The Hellhounds were formed as a result of an agreement with the demons. It wasn’t a particularly savoury start for our pack but when the demons and angels finally vanished, the current Alpha hadn’t agreed with the contract his forefathers had forged and did what he could to separate the pack from their dark history but the name stuck. When you hear about hellhounds in folklore it’s to do with the pack albeit, not all of it is true.”

“But now the demons are back.” Thalia pointed out.

“They are.” Daniel nodded once. “But you said it yourself, the demon father thinks you and the children are dead.”

“Yes.” Thalia replied.

“And even if he didn’t, you are my beta’s fated mate.” Daniel carried. “We would defend you. We protect our own and we wouldn’t hesitate to take on the demons again.”
