Chapter 50: Party Planning

Damien

We pretty much visited with Reign’s dad, he told her about his life as a vampire. Apryl was running around with mom helping her organize the welcoming/mating ceremonies for the newly mated couples. “We still need to figure out what we are going to do about Luther and Steven.” Jyden said. “Let’s talk about all that tomorrow,” Dad said, “tonight we celebrate and relax.” He smiled. “Shadow, please make sure the borders are secure and that all the men are able to get their meal and a short break.” Dad instructed. Dad and I ran the pack together. I wanted to make sure to be around in case Reign needed me, so dad continues to be there to help. “Gentlemen, shall we?” Jykob motioned to Spyder and Spencer. “And this will give the twins and me a chance to talk.” Jykob grinned at his daughter. “Dad! You better be nice!” Aleya warned glaring at her dad. “Calm yourself child, I won’t hurt them.” I could see Spyder and Spencer gulp hard, but they stood tall and proud. They may be shadow guards, and nothing scares them except for…their mates dad. Hahaha. “Aleya don't worry about them they can hold their own besides, they can heal quickly.” Reign commented. “Why would they need to heal quickly?” Aleya worried. “Aleya, sweetie, your dad will not hurt your beloved's. He may put a little fear in them, but he would never hurt them. He’s just being a dad.” Apryl chuckled. “C’mon, you can hang out with us on the Alpha floor.” Jazlyn offered. “Our mates don't allow us to go too many places without them.” “Hey!” Koltyn growled. “We have to make sure all of you are safe.” He said nuzzling and scenting Jaz. “You don’t have to scent us.” Jaz snickered at her mate. “Too many males here, don’t want to take any chances.” He stated. “You girls head upstairs, and the boys will let you know when dinner is ready.” Mom told them. “Oh, and did any of you want to reveal the genders of each pup?” She asked with hope in her eyes. I looked over at Reign. “We can have one big cake for everyone and then smaller ones that reveal the genders of each pup.” Mom suggested. “I guess it would be good to know what to buy for them.” Ryott wondered out loud. “Sure, why not? Go for it.” She smiled wide. “Anyone else?” Mom made eye contact with all of us. All the girls gave thumbs up. When she looked at Reign, she looked at me and I gave my thumbs up. She smiled and gave two thumbs up. Mom squealed and ran to the kitchen, followed by Apryl. “She's already had this planned for a while, hasn’t she?” Cloie laughs. “Oh yeah.” We all responded. Grace snorted. “She just dragged mom into her diabolical plan, didn't she?” Reign nodded in agreement laughing.

We left all the females on the Alpha floor to talk about us males and us males we went to my office to discuss the safety of our Kingdom and my Queen. “Alright guys, we have to figure this out.” I started the conversation. “Shadow and I already have a plan in motion to keep patrols going so that there is a very minimal gap between each patrol unit.” Jykob said. “Yes, each patrol group has three pack warriors and three coven warriors.” Shadow advised. “Mom’s welcoming/mating/gender reveal party is tonight, so let’s use tonight as our test run, see how they work together and see if anything needs to be addressed or changed.” I commented. “Sounds good.” Deklyn agreed. We sat in my office and went over other things but really, we just talked and got to know each other. Deklyn and Jykob wanted to get to know me, Moses, Spencer and Spyder a little better, by the time we walked out of my office we were all best friends. We went our separate ways with me heading upstairs to check on my love. Jaz linked Koltyn that they were all heading out for a nap. Reign fell asleep on the sofa, so they left her to nap with Mason and Raz standing guard. I really need to start thinking of a few other men to assign to Reign when Spencer and Spyder aren’t with her. They will probably start with more responsibility not just with our pack but with Deklyn’s coven. Things are changing around here.

“Alpha.” Mason and Raz greeted and bowed in unison as I did the same and went inside but before I went in, I asked them, “guys, would you be interested in guarding Reign on a full-time basis?” They looked at me and then looked at each other for a minute. “I need men I can trust to help protect her and my children when I am not around. Spencer and Spyder may have other responsibilities in their future.” I explained. “Your majesty, it would be our honor to protect our Alpha Queen and your pups.” Mason said and Raz agreed. “Thank you, gentlemen. We will talk more in a few days but in the meantime count on being available full-time.” I told them patting their shoulder and went to check on my Queen. There she is, the love of my life, the sun to my moon. She was lightly snoring which told me that she was in a deep sleep. I walked over to her and kneeled down next to her and gently placed my hands on her little bump. I could feel a gentle kick against my hand. Thank goodness it wasn’t too hard that it would make their mum yelp in pain. I laid my head against her belly and closed my eyes listening to their heartbeats. When I opened my eyes a few minutes later, I was met with my mate’s beautiful grey eyes. “Hi.” She whispered with a smile. “Hey, sorry didn’t mean to wake you.” I gently caressed her belly. “It’s okay, they were getting a little restless.” “You were away for too long.” She yawned. She moved over a little so I could pull her onto my chest, she nuzzled close and fell asleep. “Jyden.” I linked him. “Whatup bro? I’m closing my link for a few hours, if anything comes up, you’re the only one who can link me. Is everything okay?” He asked. “Yeah, just want to spend some quiet time with Reign without interruptions. You have dad, gramps, and Deklyn if you need any help besides it’s only until the party starts.” I assured him. “Yeah, yeah, no biggie, get some rest. I’ll let you know when it’s time.” He snorted at me. “Thanks, see ya later.” I leaned down and placed a kiss on Reign’s forehead and drifted off to sleep.

Reign

Not sure how long I was asleep, I remember talking and laughing with all the girls and now I’m lying on the sofa wrapped in Damien’s arms. I love waking up in his arms but right now, I need to go pee. “Damien.” I shook him lightly. “Sshhh…baby. Jyden will let us know when it’s time for the party.” He mumbled and pulled me closer to him. “Damien.” I shook him again. “Babygirl, sleep, you need to rest.” He rubbed my back. I poked his cheek and then gripped his jaw. “I. Need. To. Go. Pee. NOW!” I punctuated each word to make sure he knew how bad I had to go. He chuckled at me, which made me glare at him. “Fine.” He said helping me to my feet and I quickly waddled to the bathroom, did my business, and went ahead and started getting dressed for tonight’s party. “Babe, Jyd said it’s time to party.” He called walking into our room. “Okay, I’m ready.” I walked outta our closet wearing a purple knee length dress that bunched up under my boobs and hung loosely down my belly. “Wow.” Damien whistled. “You look absolutely beautiful.” He took me in his arms and buried his nose into the crook of my neck, making me giggle. “Damien.” I moaned. “Your majesties!” We heard. Damien growled at the interruption. “Our apologies, but Royal Beta Jyden sent us to escort you to the party.” Mason said as he and Raz bowed their heads. “Damien, behave.” I whispered to him leading him out of our room and out to the backyard. When we got to the back door my dad and Apryl were waiting for us. “Dad, Apryl, I thought you would already be at the party.” I hugged them. “We wanted to wait for you.” Apryl smiled. “Thank you but you didn’t have to.” I told them. “We wanted to, I was hoping I could have the honor of escorting you out, if that’s okay with you, Damien.” Dad asked. “As long as I get to escort my beautiful mother-in-law.” He smiled extending his arm. Apryl blushed a little and linked her hand around Damien’s arm and I linked mine around my dad’s arm. Mason stood in the middle of the steps that led down to the garden. “Ladies, gentlemen, wolves and vampires, I present Alpha Queen Reign escorted by her father, His Royal Highness Deklyn Black and her Majesty Queen Apryl Blackburn Black of the vampire kingdom escorted by Alpha King Damien.” He bowed as everyone bowed and greeted us. “Follow me to your table.” Rona, our house manager motioned. “Now the party can begin!” Jyden said rubbing his stomach. “I’m starving.” Both Damien and I laughed.

“Thank you all for being here, today is a turning point for both the wolf and the vampire kingdom. Turns out that your Queen is the daughter of his Highness Deklyn Black, Prince, and General of the Vampire Kingdom and that many of our pack and clan members have found their mates/beloveds among each other. Our Kingdoms are now bound together not just through mating couples but also by blood. Today I declare the Werewolf and Vampire Kingdoms as allies and bound by family.” Damien declared. Apryl stood next to Damien and made the same declaration. Everyone in attendance clap and cheered. “Now! Let the celebration begin!” Damien boomed. He helped me to our seats and made his way to the serving table to get our plate. Once he had served us and sat down next to me, he offers me a fork full of food, which I take and then he takes a bite indicating for everyone else to begin their meal. We ate til our hearts content, well til all of our preggos hearts content. Grant and Grifyn watched us and just scrunched their noses at us. “I just can’t believe how much you girls can eat.” Grif shook his head. “Yeah, well we are baking a few pups each so we need as much energy as we can get since, they zap it all.” Ryott huffed. “Just wait until you and your mate are expecting, if she's a wolf, then she will probably be the same way.” I snickered at the looks on my brother’s faces.

“Excuse me Queen Apryl but your father, King Jaxsyn is here.” One of the vampire guards informed. “My father is here?” She asked in surprise. “Yes I am.” He said with a smile hugging his daughter. “I was anxious to meet my new granddaughter as no one has yet to send me any photos of her.” He frowned at his daughter and his son in law. “Where is she?” He asked looking around. “Patience has never been one of his virtues.” Grace laughed. “Dad, this is Vampire Princess and Alpha Queen Reign Dyanera Rose Raven Black Hunt, your granddaughter.” Apryl introduced. King Jaxsyn approached me and looked at me. “My you are as beautiful as they have described.” He chuckled at my blushing. “Thank you, King…” “Child, please, call me Jaxsyn or better yet, call me grandpa.” He grinned, I felt Damien snake his arm around my waist and nuzzle my hair. “Hahaha, okay. Granpa Jax, this is my mate and husband Alpha King Damien Ayres Hunt.” “Damien, it is an honor to meet you.” He greeted as Damien greeted back. “Uumm… granfather,” Grace calls and he turns to look at her, she tightly gripped Moses’ hand in hers. Aleya is standing close by as well with Spencer and Spyder by her side. “Yes, my child.” He glares at the three wolves standing with his grandaughters. “Who are these nervous looking young wolves?” He asked. “This is my Beloved, Moses Mason Sharp, Delta and head trainer for Rose Hunt Royal Pack.” She introduced. “Granfather, this is Spencer Ace and Spyder Spade Collins, my Beloveds. They are Alpha Queen Reign’s personal guards.” Aleya said with pride. “Stand before me boys.” I could see each of them gulp hard as Granpa Jax.
“Well seems we will have to figure out visitation times. I wouldn’t want to put my new grandaughter’s safety at risk by losing her personal guards.” He smirked. “The four of us will meet in the morning and get to know each other but tonight we celebrate!” Granpa Jax cheered. “Thank you, grandpa.” Each of them said.

We sat and talked, and not too long later mom came out of the house with a whole bunch of cakes and one huge cake decorated in pink and blue with little wolves all around it. “Come along everyone, it’s time to find out the gender of our future royal’s.” She said with excitement. She had a table set out and placed the cakes out in front of us. “Mom, are you sure you have them placed correctly? I mean there are ten pups between five moms.” Jyden teased. “Of course, they are correct! I would never get something this important incorrect!” She scolded. Jyden held his hand up in surrender. Ryott smacked the back of his head. “Owie babe! What was that for?” He whined. “Don’t tease mom, she’s worked very hard to put all this together.” Ryott chided her mate. “I was just kidding. I know mom would never get something like this wrong.” He hugged his mom and kissed the top of her head. “Mom, thank you, you’ve done a wonderful job.” He hugged her tight. “Okay, so are we ready?” Feeling better, she clapped her hands with a smile.

“How do we do this? Do we go one by one or all at once?” Jenny asked. “Well, I guess we could go one by one leaving Reign for last since they have three.” Ana suggested. “Sounds good but don’t we need all the dad’s also?” Bea chimed in. “Will our dad’s to be please get their asses up here NOW!” Mom bellowed and within seconds all six males were standing behind their mates. “Now, that’s better. Attention, attention.” Mom announced. “We are ready to reveal what our little ones will be. We will start from the left to right, starting with Jenny and Shadow, Cloie and the twins, Jazlyn and Koltyn, Ryott, and Jyden and then Queen Reign and King Damien.” Mom instructed. “Dad’s cut one cake and mom’s the other one and show the slice at the same time. The gender will be revealed by the filling color inside of the cake.” Mom explained. “Mom, you already know, don’t you?” Cloie asked Ana. “No, I had someone else make the cakes. I wanted to be surprised also.” Ana responded nuzzling into Duncan’s embrace. He was so excited; he finally has the family he’s always dreamed of.

“Jenny, Shadow, you’re up.” Mom clapped. Jenny and Shadow each took a knife and slowly cut a piece, but Shadow stopped before they made the reveal. “What now?!” Jyden called. “Let’s all do this together and leave Reign for last.” Shadow suggested. “Sounds good to us.” Jaz smiled. “Well, then step up and let’s get this party started.” Mom cheered. They all stepped up, except for Damien and me, and cut a piece from each cake with Cloie standing between the wonder twins with a hand on each of theirs so they can cut together. Jenny and Shadow placed their piece on a plate and turned the cake. “We will be welcoming baby boy Collins!” Jenny cheered as Shadow lifted her in the air hugging her tight. Cloie placed the pieces on the plate, Noah and Jonah turned the cakes. “Baby boy and girl Rose Raven! Baby girl’s Grey!” Jaz and Koltyn smiled wide. “Baby boy’s Hunt!” Ryott and Jyden yelled. “Now for our future rulers!” Granpa Ryan grinned. Damien and I cut a piece from each cake and slowly turned the cakes to face everyone. “Ya know, I think I changed my mind. I think I want to be surprised.” Damien stopped turning the cakes. “No way dude!” Jyden cried. “We all agreed.” Koltyn chimed in. “Stop your whining!” Damien chuckled and we turned the cakes. “I'm just kidding.” He smirked. “Two boys and a girl!” I squealed. The whole pack and kingdom cheered for their future leaders and future Princess and Prince’s. All the wolf’s howled in joy welcoming their future prince’s and princess. The individual cakes were set aside for us parents to be enjoyed later while the bigger cake was presented and had many pictures taken of it and all us parents to be. We spent the next few hours visiting and getting to know my new family members and clan members. Moses, Spencer and Spyder were sitting with Uncle Jakob and Granpa Jax getting the third degree, way to funny to watch them squirm. Damien was chatting with his dad and other pack and clan members. The girls and I waddled around greeting and talking to those members that greeted us. I was getting tired, so I told the girls I was heading up to my room and asked that they let Damien know since I didn’t know where he was, and I didn't mind link him because I had a headache. I made my way to the pack house listening to the sounds of laughter and joy.

I was so caught up in my own thoughts that I didn’t realize I was being watched until it was too late. “After all these months, I have finally found you.” A voice rasped out. “W-wh-who are you? And why are you here?” I stuttered out. “I’m here for you. Who I am is really of no importance at this moment.” He smirked. “B-bu-but how did you get through the boundaries?” “I have my ways.” He told me walking closer to me. “My master will be overjoyed to know that we have found you. He will be here any second.” The stranger said. “My beautiful flower, I have finally found you.” A familiar voice breathed out. “No, no, no, no how did you find me?” Fear had made its way through my body. I tried not to show my fear, but I don't think I was doing so well at that. He walked over to me inhaling deeply, his eyes went complete black. “He took your virtue?” He growled. “That was not his to take, it was mine, you are MINE.” He snarled. “I never was and never will be yours!” I yelled hoping that someone would hear me, and it was time I stood up to him. I couldn't let him scare me anymore. “I am the Alpha Queen.” “We will change that but first we need to rid you of those mongrels in your belly.” He said pointing at my belly. “You will not lay a finger on my children!” I growled as Dyanera surfaced. “My, my, who are you?” He asked in curiosity. “You weren't around before.” “My TRUE MATE unlocked my conscious.” Dyanera snarled. “You will no longer terrorize Reign and you will not harm our pups!” She slowly crept closer to him. “I maybe many things but I wouldn’t harm any innocent pups.” He said trying to assure me of the safety of my children. “But that doesn’t mean I won’t.” The stranger said baring his fangs. “Reign!” I heard my name. “Damien!” I yelled out. I turned to run but my wrist was gripped tightly, and I was pulled into the hold of the one man, the one man I had been hiding from for months. “Luther! Get your filthy hands off of MY mate and our QUEEN!” Damien roared stressing my. “Queen?” Interesting and how did that happen? Luther asked.

“Steven.” Uncle Martin smirked. “It’s been a long time. Yes, it has, and you will be dealt with for your betrayal.” He smirked. “I submitted to her.” Uncle Martin admitted. “She is and always has been the TRUE QUEEN of the were and supernatural kingdoms and the human realms.” “You were always a weak one Martin, that mate of yours made you soft.” Steven snorted. “By the way where is she? I haven't seen her.” “You don't need to worry about her, she's safe from you.” Martin snapped. “You always want things and people you can't have. It's about time someone told you no.” “My father is no longer King, I am. And I always get what I want you know that. No matter who I have to kill, so, she will be MY queen and I will rule the supernatural kingdoms and the human realms.” Luther smirked. “Once these things have been dealt with.” He said grasping my belly. “She will bare my heirs and be MINE.” “Not if you’re dead!” Damien snarled, our warriors, wolf, and vampire, stood strong beside Damien ready to fight for me and my pups.

“Steven…” Jenny started. “That’s his Highness Steven to you, you mutt!” Luther growled. Jenny scoffed and rolled her eyes. “Whatever…now before I was so rudely interrupted. When Deklyn died, or when we thought he died, after his funeral, Aunt Nadia asked mom to bind your wolf and shift. At least until you found or rather until your true fated mate found you. Of course, she didn’t think you would find him so soon. She was hoping you find him until after your eighteenth birthday. Even though, he found you first.” She snickered. “Get on with it!” Luther snapped. “You don’t have to scream.” Jenny covered her ears and huffed. “When she asked mom to bind her wolf, she also revealed a secret that only my parents and I know.” She took a deep breath. “Luther is her half-brother.” “No! If he’s my brother, then that makes Steven my…” I trailed off. “I would know if she was my daughter! I never had sex with her mother. She was supposed to be given to me in exchange for her pack’s safety, but she disappeared the night I went to collect her from Martin.” He looked over at Uncle Martin. Uncle Martin stood tall never breaking eye contact with the stranger. “May I continue?” Jenny grumbled. “My apologies, please continue.” Steven said sarcastically. “That is true, but do you remember a woman you drugged at the diner a few days later?” Jenny raised her eyebrow. “That was just some random human female.” Steven snorted. “No, she wasn’t. Thanks to a cloaking potion from my mom, you didn’t know it was her. My mom is a damn good witch. I could never be as good as she is, that’s why I went into photography.” She smiled mischievously. “Hhmmhhff, this sweet little flower my son has had his eye on these last four years is my daughter?” A huge smile crossed his face. “So, that makes her a true pureblooded Vampire-Alpha and those mutts she’s carrying are also true pureblooded Vampire-Alphas. Well, looks like we will be raising three little hybrids.” He smiled. “I will make sure they are raised to be strong and most of all, FEARED. I will make sure they are married to other pure bloods so that the bloodlines remain strong. My plans have come to be, I will have my army of hybrid’s and with them, I will help them rule over the supernatural and human realms.” He spoke out loud of his plans for MY children. “I don’t think so.” Dyanera snarled out. “They are Damien and Ayres' pups; you will never touch their pups!”

“Only the Moon Goddess herself chooses who our fated mate is. Who are you to try and change that?” Mom Becca asked with a growl. “Who am I?” He smirked. I am the TRUE King of the supernatural world and human realm unlike that mongrel. He said standing tall and confident. He really believed his own lies. “That’s Alpha King Damien.” Jyden growled. “Well, that will change when I kill him. I have my warriors surrounding your territory and awaiting my signal, so if you want your pack to survive, you will reject my daughter and be on your way.” He waved his hand dismissing him.

“She. Is. My. Daughter!” My dad, Deklyn snarled stepping forward. “I raised her, I loved her, I nurtured her. I was the one she peed on, threw up on and I was the one who comfort her when she was sick or scared. Blood or not, she is my daughter.” He gritted through his teeth. “And I thank you for caring for her, for that I will allow you all to live but fight me and I will have no choice but to kill you ALL.” He said sincerely. “Now, we must go.” He said trying to take me from my mate. “You are leaving here with her over my dead body.” Damien growled standing in front of Steven and me. “I do believe that can be arranged. Luther…” Steven motioned to his son.
