Mated & Blooded, A Blood Ties Novel, Book 1 (24 page)

Nikoli’s pants pushed off easily enough, he
them pulled at the rest of my clothes until finally I could feel
all of him touching all of me. The moment we were both naked, I
found him rolling us over and I was suddenly stretched out
underneath of him. He was so passionate and everything was
dreamlike that I found myself lost in the sensations.

I felt his manhood firm and heavy between my
legs. I knew his fangs were ready to puncture the soft side of my
neck. I was almost there. It was just a matter of moments. Then he
would enter me and we would be complete. I could feel our souls
blending and mixing with each other is such a sensual dance. If
this was all that happened I could honestly say I felt complete. It
was more than I could have ever dreamed of.

I moaned again in pleasure and bucked myself
against him trying to spur him on. I was tired of waiting I wanted
him now. I heard him growl and felt his teeth slowly enter my neck.
The shear ecstasy of knowing that he would drink from me threw me
over the edge and I shivered in orgasmic pleasure.

I had expected that Nikoli to would feel pure
joy at the sharing of our blood. Instead I felt Nikoli freeze and
grow frigidly hard on top of me. Then he abruptly pulled
completely. He launched himself off of the cot and screeched

“My God Kalli, we can’t do this. You’re
pregnant”

I was so happy when Kalli suddenly shot to
life. She had been so listless and inanimate for days. Her mother
and I were convinced she was going to die of heart ache. Coming to
New York had been our last hope. When we came out of the Lincoln
Tunnel and Kalli took off like a bat out of hell, Marie and I knew
we did the right thing.

I dropped Marie off at the hotel we booked
and went on foot to locate Kalli. I didn’t rush she was a very
capable young woman and I knew the humans in New York were not a
threat to her. I also figured she could use a little time with
Nikoli before I arrived.

I used my nose and my instincts to follow my
mate. She was lightening fast in her human form and New York City
wasn’t the place where I could just wolf out and follow her. So
here I was walking up and down the streets of Harlem sniffing her
out. I knew I was getting closer and closer. I picked up the scent
of vampire and knew that I was at the right place.

I came around the corner and spotted the
shattered door. Kalli must have been in a rush to get in. I slipped
in quietly and peered around the corner. I felt my heart stop. Of
all the things I had expected to see, I had never counted on her
being unfaithful. I had grown up being told that once mated a wolf
couple could never be with another. Hell, I can’t even get it up
for movies anymore. How could she was all I could think.

I slowly started to step backwards, I wasn’t
ready to confront them and I was to emotionally distraught to
continue to stand there. Each step I took back towards the door I
felt a little more inside of me crack. I knew tears where flowing
freely down my cheeks. I was doing my best to remain silent but I
noticed that Nikoli froze. Then he said

“My God Kalli, we can’t do this. You’re
pregnant”

Those words forced me to move towards them
instead of away. I wanted to run and hide and die from a broken
heart, but Kalli was caring my pups. If she couldn’t be faithful
from just our bond maybe the pups could keep her in my bed and out
of his.

I knew that she needed him. The last several
weeks had shown us that loud and clear. I just hope that didn’t
mean she had to sleep with him. I reached her side and growled at
Nikoli to back off. I watched his face go from soft and open to
hard and miserable then he said to me

“Don’t growl at me wolf. You won this round.
I’m not going anywhere though so get used to me being around”

Things around the pack house had been
strained and strange since we came back from New York. Kalli spent
the majority of her day sitting in the parlor with Nikoli talking
and playing all sorts of mental games. Then, when evening fell, she
would retire upstairs with Lucas to the master bedroom they
continued to share.

I couldn’t tell if my daughter was happy but
I knew beyond a shadow of a doubt that Lucas and Nikoli were not.
It seemed like Kalli was getting everything she wanted and needed
and neither one of them were getting what they wanted or
needed.

I didn’t have a solution so I continued to
look the other way and hope that it somehow managed to work itself
out. Kalli was getting bigger and bigger by the day. She was going
to give birth any day now and we were all on pins and needles
waiting.

I guess most of the pack wondered if the pups
would actually be pups of if they would take after Kalli and be
some type of hybrid. I was praying for normal everyday pups. The
lifestyle that Kalli was maintaining with her beloved and a wolf
mate wasn’t normal to begin with and honestly I believed it was
highly inappropriate. I didn’t want to but sometimes I couldn’t
help but think of my daughter as a strumpet.

I know they tried to make it look like her
and Nikoli didn’t have a sexual relationship, but they were too
close not to. It was impossible to believe that they were platonic.
Even Lucas eyed them wearily when he had to leave them alone. I
felt bad for Lucas since the entire pack knew she was unfaithful to
him. It was unheard of to have a true mate that was unfaithful It
certainly reduced his authority as alpha.

I wish I could make Kalli understand what she
is doing to him and the rest of the pack. We are a young weak pack
to begin with. Her shenanigans with the vampire are going to get us
wiped out. Once a few rouges hear of our cuckolded Alpha and our
sinful Luna they will encroach on our territory and wipe us out. I
walked into the kitchen to pour myself a fresh cup of coffee when I
heard Nikoli bellow.

“Lucas, it is time, Kalli’s water is
broken”

To say that the house became a flurry of
activity would have been an understatement. We had more never
happened before happening all at once. We had a hybrid Luna giving
birth to wolf pups while she was blooded to a vampire. Technically,
once a woman bloods with a vampire her anatomy starts to change and
her womanly organs are the first to shut down.

That said, Kalli was already pregnant with
the pups before Nikoli blooded with her so, we were very uncertain
about what to expect during labor. I picked up the phone and called
for the pack doctor to hurry over. I heard Lucas barrel into the
parlor and carry Kalli upstairs to their bedroom. I heard him growl
at Nikoli to

“Leave” then I heard Nikoli shout back

“Make me” then I heard Kalli cry out in pain
and both of them seemed went quiet.

I heard someone at the door and opened it
expecting the pack doctor but was shocked to find the old vampire
standing at the door instead. He looked me over quizzically then
said

“Well woman, are you going to continue to
stand their ogling me or would you mind moving aside so I can go
upstairs and be of service to the birthing beloved?”

I honestly didn’t know how a vampire thought
it could be of service, but I was so shocked that I found myself
shuffling to the side. I watched as he swished up the stairs his
robe lagging a step or two behind him. I turned to close the door,
and notice the pack doctor getting out of his car.

I waited for him to walk up the drive and
walked with him upstairs to Kalli’s room. As we entered the bedroom
I couldn’t help but laugh out loud. It was just so comical, for
god’s sake all three men were staring at her like she had sprouted
multiple heads and was going to explode into a million pieces any
moment.

Upon hearing my chuckles Nikoli and Lucas
turned to face me and noticed the pack doctor standing next to me.
I could see the relief on both of their faces. Then both Nikoli and
Lucas opened their mouths and started speaking at the same time to
the doctor in rushed excited voices.

They fired question after question at him. At
one point even the old vampire started shouting questions towards
the doctor as well. I couldn’t tell if he was doing it because he
truly wanted the answer or if he was just enjoying the chaos.

I ignored the men and walked over to the bed
to check on Kalli. She had a funny little happy smile on her face.
I leaned in close so I could speak to her while the men were
occupied with the doctor.

“Hey honey, how are you feeling? Have the
contractions started yet?”

Kalli nodded at me and placed my hand on her
stomach. I could feel it tightening under my hand. I looked at her
face and expected her to cry out in pain. When she continued to
show no sign of pain I found my face scrunching together in
questioning look.

“Kenyan stopped the pain. I don’t quite
understand how it works, but he got into my head and removed the
pain” she snapped her finger as continued

“just like that” She smiled again and I too
smiled back at her.

I sat down next to her and patted her hand. I
could tell my daughter was nervous and I wanted to comfort her even
though technically she wasn’t in any pain

“I would imagine if this is similar to a
typical wolf birth things should move along pretty quickly. As soon
as your men can stop nagging the doctor he should be able to check
your dilation and give us an idea of timing.”

No sooner had the words left my mouth then
the doctor walked over to the bed.

“Well now young lady, I am going to need to
take a look and see how we are doing down there”

He looked at Kalli and waiting for
acknowledgment before lifting the bottom of the sheet. I could tell
that Lucas was becoming increasingly uncomfortable with Nikoli and
the old vampire seeing her private parts, so I moved beside the
doctor and blocked their view.

Nikoli realized immediately what I had done
and I was surprised when he asked Kenyan to move to the other side
of the room so that he wouldn’t have a clear visual line to Kalli’s
birth canal. Lucas looked over at Nikoli and nodded. Kenyan
harrumphed but moved quickly towards Kalli upper half.

I was surprised that Lucas allowed Nikoli to
stay and watch the doctor examine Kalli. If I didn’t think he’d
been sexually active with her before I was convinced now. The
doctor made a couple of Hmms and Umms then finally said

“Well, you are much further along than I
would have guessed. In fact you are already ten centimeters dilated
and should start pushing”

The old vampire clapped his hands in what I
would have to guess was excitement

“Excellent” he boomed out loud

“Now we shall see what type of babies these
are”

Nikoli and Lucas both moved to Kalli’s sides
and took one of her hands. Then the doctor commanded she push and
Kalli pushed. I lost track of time as I found myself rhythmically
following the commands and pushes. Suddenly I watched as a tiny
little blue head crowned out of the birth canal then sucked back
in. I gasped and blurted out

“No, what happened why did it just go back
in” the doctor laughed and said

“Easy now, Kalli push and let’s get this pup
out”

Kalli pushed again and this time the pups
head and shoulders cleared her birth canal. The doctor looked
quickly at the baby and handed him to me.

He was beautiful and perfectly normal healthy
little babe. His ears, skin color and texture were perfect. I found
myself weeping in joy. I managed to say out loud

“It a boy and he looks perfect”

I wrapped him in a blanket and handed him to
his father. I then moved back to the doctor to wait for the next
one. We’d done an ultra sound and knew Kalli was having triplets.
Again the doctor said

“Now Kalli, push hard now” and I watched in
amazement as the babies shoulders cleared her birth canal. Again
the doctor looked over the baby then handed her to me. I again
checked her ears, skin texture and gums.

She was perfect. I said out loud.

“It a girl and she’s perfect too” then I
wrapped her in a blanket and laid her on her mother’s chest.

I again returned to the doctor’s side. The
next babe was already coming out. Again the doctor said

“This is it Kalli, last time. I promise, push
for me”

I watched as the babe pushed clear of the
birth canal. I watched as the doctor looked at him then slowly
passed him to me. I looked down and saw his pointy little ears and
I knew. I knew he was different than his sister and brother. I felt
his skin and knew it was cooler than the other babies, I opened his
mouth and saw he already had little nubs where his fangs would
grow. I wrapped him in a blanket walked towards his father and
said.

“It’s another boy and he’s perfect,
absolutely perfect and it looks like he is going to take after his
mother.”

I couldn’t help a small tear from slipping
down my face. He wasn’t going to have the easiest of lives but he
was perfect and I knew that he would be loved as much as his
siblings.

It was hard to believe that it had been over
five years since last I visited with Kalli and Nikoli. Their life
was a strange one but I was always amused and pleased after I spent
time with them and the BlueRidge wolf pack. I was returning because
Kalli was expected to give birth again any day now.

I was excited and pleased to have been
invited back for another birth. The first round of brats had gone
wonderfully. They had all been healthy. Two were pure wolf pups and
the last one was another hybrid. Seems he was just like his mother,
he even required weekly wolf blood feedings to boot.

Nikoli and Kalli had an odd relationship for
beloveds'. While they spent an enormous amount of time together,
they continued to remain sexually platonic. I know that some
thought they were sexual when no one was watching or maybe when she
was astral projecting but they never were. She was faithful to
Lucas and has never been sexual with Nikoli since the night they
realized she was pregnant.
