Peace

Hunnie Inzotta's P.O.V





I would say they are hitting it off exceptionally well!





"You are telling me you've never shifted before?

I can smell your wolf!

Does he not talk to you?"





"Pop...

Come on.

I'm not a wolf.

I do have wolf friends, and not all of them have wolves that speak to them--"







"NO!

I'm telling you!!

You are my son. Why would you not be like me?

Shift!

Right now!

Go ahead!"





I look at Leolo and scratch my head.

Maybe we shouldn't have done this over dinner.





"Uh...

Your Highness--" Leolo says cautiously before he's cut off and eyes chef Jacorius as his helpers approach with a cart full of food.





The Dining Hall was exquisitely decorated, one they hadn't done in a long time! Pictures of Momma Fei and Bahm laced the walls around the room with their blank and deadly faces gawking down at us. It gave me something to look at while the guys continued their strange bickering.





"Leolo!

You smell his wolf, too.

It smells a little funny, but you smell it?"





"What do you mean it smells weird?"

Kris twists his eyebrows and begins lifting his arms to sniff his scent.





"Okay, watch...

What do I have to do to shift?"





"Uhh...I don't bloody know!

It's been ages since I first shifted!"







"Ages?

Wow, how old are--

Never mind, you look younger than me, which answers my supernatural questions."





I dug into the cheesy pasta, dipping my garlic bread in the sauce and listening in on Bahm explain how he's Half Demon-Wolf and Half Dark Fei. The babies were in a bassinet that awaited me by the time we got into the room. I was starving and don't even recall eating breakfast today!





"S-So...

Am I immortal?

Will I have wings, too?

Holy shit!

What about Hunnie?

Is she like us too?"





"What?

No, Kris, you know I'm just a Dark Witch..." I said with a mouthful.





"A Dark Witch, who is now also a hybrid vampire." Bahm blurts, and I almost forgot. No wonder my tastebuds were dancing differently at one of my favorite dishes. I sighed. Thanks a lot, Leolo and Bahm!





"A vampire hybrid!

Woah!!!"





"No!

Not Woah!

TSK!

We need to get you to shift!" Bahm continues egging Kris. He was more worked up about this than Kris was fascinated with his new life history.





They even took it outside across the hall into the courtyard, trying different tactics, laughing and yelling. Bahm explained to Kris what he should feel while shifting or what to think of to start the process. It made me chuckle once I heard glass ornaments outside break.





"AHH!!!

WHAT!

You're...You're NAKED!"

I looked over at Leolo once I heard Kris holler. He was posted under the archway of the room with his hand folded behind him. I'm sure his hearing was way better than mine. Once I started chewing, I couldn't hear a thing besides my mouth.





"You know what!

Hunnie should know some spells to start my shift.

Can we try it?

Do you think it'll work?"



After sighing harshly and glaring up at the high ceiling, I eye Leolo again immediately, rolling my eyeballs in the process.



Can I eat in peace while they have their sadistic son and father bonding time?





"Hey, baby!" Bahm comes into the room...COMPLETELY NAKED, with a maiden chasing behind him with a towel.





"Where are your clothes?

You are going to chase him away!"





"What?

Nah...He's totally fine.

Hey, I need your help."





"Yeah, yeah.

I heard you both.

Can you wait until I eat? I feel like I have no energy."





Just because my body healed internally doesn't mean it's done processing the fact I carried twins inside of me. It's not like I didn't give birth today!



Man, what a day.

I feel like I did so much!



After getting up from the table, I wheeled the bassinet into the hall after bowing courteously to the chef for the delicious meal and entered the nearest bathroom around the corner. I freshened up there, checking the god-awful thin diapers left in the Delivery Room and checking in on my body.



While doing so, I began hearing heels clacking down the hall and three more sets of robotic walkers. As they all arrived closer to the door, one smelled of roses and hand sanitizer, while the other three smelled dusty and dry, like Mirah's nature scent.





"Who is it?"





"Your Majesty!

It is I, Giyah!"



Giyah?



I opened the door, meeting a wonderful soft face that seemed familiar around the castle. Her hair was big, like Momma Fei's, and her Kimono was just as glorious and bright as all of Momma Fei's court maidens.



Then I eye the three women dressed in skirts, with their heads down, glaring at the ground behind and holding two holding bags. Their hair was in a slick back braided ponytail, and their dark colored blue outfits were not even wrinkled.





"Hi?..."





"Hello, allow me to introduce myself fully.

My name is Giyah Otosku, and I am The Chief for all Maidens here in the castle.

This is Opi, Vehonia, and Luisi.

Momma Fei has humbly assigned them as your help with the Royal twins.

They have super hearing resembling Your Highness and can communicate with him in their links."



She bows with a powdery glowing face.

It was as though she was pitching the best sale pitch, and boy, did I fall for it! However, I would like to care for my children independently, without many hands helping me, but I shall see how that goes.





"Oh, nice to meet you," I crack a half smile, lowering my head in understanding.





"They will be at your every need, Uhm...yeah only...if you call them!

They heard you want to go outside and help Your Highness. They shall assist in watching during your absence!"



The women in the back then courtesy, with huge smiles on their loving bright faces, greeted me in unison. I could hear how nervous their heartbeats were around me, and then the one coming down the hall.





"Come on, Hunnie.

I need your help with this."





Well, let's say thing's didn't go so well.

Not only did Kris evolve painfully right before our eyes while he bawled his eyes off, but once he entirely shifted and looked at his feet and hand, he also freaked out almost immediately!



Bahm loved the image, yelling, "Heaven, this is what an Angel and half Demon spawn looks like," He was also crackling in his wolfy Wolf form as Kris rolled around the courtyard in disgust.



"Madam, can you hear me?

It's Luisi. The babies are beginning to awaken."

A whispering and very stern voice reach my ears, and I face the double glass doors leading inside the hall I left the twins in.

One of the women came into view of the door, waving me in, and I began making my way back inside. I was exhausted.



What a day!





Since Bahm's chambers were still being cleaned and baby-proof from his insidious actions while being possessed, we were ordered to stay out, and the women, who I now pinned their scent as werewolves, led me down a different hall passing the delivery room.



"This is the new quarters we were ordered to make you feel comfortable. I hope it suits you well."



She pushes the door open and inside, a much larger room than the one they hosted Kris in.

Wow, I would never have to leave my chambers!

As soon as you stepped into the room, you walked a few feet, slipping your feet into comfortable slippers and walking along the fuzzy pink carpets that pathed its way to a large, opened, white, four-poster bed covered in black and red silk bedsheets and comforters.



My face lit up once I passed the bed, through a small kitchen sink, table, and refrigerator to our side, and into a dimly lit nursery, with two black cribs. One had a silky red sheet hanging over the railing, and the other had a black one.



Many blue, yellow, and white gift bags surrounded the bottom of the crib, the tops of the armoires, and the changing tables around the space. Then rocking chairs with blue bows sat on both ends of the area. A dimly lit hall was around the corner, leading to the bathroom around the back of the nursery.





"So you like, Madam?"





I smile, showing all my gratitude for the modern hospitality around me.

Bahm's people were still practicing their 1000-year-old traditions around the castle, and I didn't want to intrude, so I involved the three maidens in my aid, as it was also their job.



They helped me unwrap the twins and cleaned their shared placenta with herbs and salt before we got ready for bed. My babies were pretty calm for the most part, only seeking milk and a couple of rocks here and there, so I showered, trusting the women with them one hundred percent, and wheeled the two bassinets to the side of my bed once I came out.



Then, I dimmed the lights above my bed, for the women remained in the nursery, putting items in their places and the noises of paper unwrapping soothed me to sleep.



Bahm's mother must've gone on a big shopping haul down in the Kingdom!





"We are going running. I want t to get to know...Kris more."



Bahm visited me later that night, excusing himself for not seeing me to bed, but I told him it was allowed. His son was here, for Heaven's sake! He kissed me on my forehead goodbye, as well as the twins, and made his way out the door.
