Chapter 50
I looked up at my mate and told him where we were meeting the kids. We look at Boris and Lissanna, “We’ll see you two later at the meeting” I say as my way of goodbye, they nod then leave in their own direction. We get to the locker rooms that are underneath the bleachers, behind the arena’s pit walls. Darien is already standing there fully dressed again.
I go up to him arms out and with an ‘Oh! look at my handsome boy!” I wrap him in a hug, all the while knowing his face is beet red. But this is my boy, no matter how big he gets he will always be my pup. He and his brother both. My mate and I would have had more children. But every time I came into my heat something would happen that would keep as from coming together.
By the time we had settled years‘ worth of strife among several packs and a war with a faction of rogues comprised of Vampires, Werewolves, and Dark witches and wizards, I felt I was too old. We had two pups and that would be enough. I would just hope for a lot of grandchildren. Speaking of, I let go of Darien and looked up at him with a bright smile.
He starts to look nervous. “Mom, why are you smiling like that?” he asks me, with no reason to hide it, so I tell him. “Because Serenity comes
from a home bursting with pups, that means I’ll get plenty of grandchildren!” I finish in a tone that is practically a squeal in my excitement.
Serenity’s Mom, who is down here as well, had a smile lighting up her face.
“Oh they would make such beautiful pups.” She gushes. By this point Darien is pale and sweating “And the females of our line are very fertile too!” She adds with glee, looking at my son and then at me she winks. With sons of her own, I was sure she was an old hat at teasing one and was happily helping me tease mine. He’s in full–on panic mode now.
Grinning, I see Alora and Serenity peaking out of the locker room, they were watching Darien, and both had hands over their mouths trying to hold in laughter. I can’t help but drag it on a little bit longer. “Oh, wonderful! So I can expect pups immediately!” Darien’s mouth is opening. he’s gaping. Alora and Serenity were now holding each other with one arm holding their mouths with another, obviously struggling to keep
their laughing quiet.
Finally, Darien manages to stutter while both my mate and Serenity’s father have caught on and are looking away coughing, trying to cover up the beginning of their laughter. “Mm…mom…we haven’t….haven’t even…I mean…a little time?” at this point I can’t help it, and neither can anyone else. Everyone bursts into loud laughter at my son’s expense.
He looks around at us in a mixture of shock and confusion, then he stands up straight glaring at me. Still laughing I hug my son saying I’m sorry, I had to, and the look on your face, I love you, son.” growling he hugs me back. Whipping his head around he sees Alora and Serenity holding each other as they laugh. They meet his eyes and he growls, squealing and giggling they duck behind Kian and Galen.
“Really? Alora,” he snapped. “You just got done kicking my ass and now your hiding?” his tone incredulous. “And I’m your mate Serenity, I would never hurt you.” Then in a complete turn of events, he turned around and adopted a feigned look of hurt. “Oh you wound me, my love, how could you hide from me, my angle of mercy?” he said all dramatically

This made Alora snort. Smirking, she called him a charlatan. Serenity was giggling but she walked up to him “Angel of Mercy is it?” she asked with a smile. He smiled back down at her. “Eh. I went for the most dramatic thing I could think of at the moment.” He told her wrapping his arms around her. She giggled again. “There’s never going to be a dull moment with you is there?” she asked him smiling.
He looked at her with a soft smile and said “I should hope I’ll be able to keep you entertained till the Goddess calls our souls home.” Then he leaned down and kissed her. I couldn’t help it, I just had to say “Awwww.looked up when it was echoed by Alora and Camille. We locked eyes and laughed. Serenity and Darien broke apart, both were blushing. It warmed my heart to see him and his mate so in love already.
