The Kings Blood Calling

Actions

Angelo's pov.

I wrap the hunter and his gun in a sheet throwing him over my shoulder. Looking back I see Annarose has already accomplished mentally turning into a bear without even hearing one. She seems to have more power than that of my very own. 

"We must hurry Angelo I'm not sure how long I'll be able to stay in this form I'm already weakened from my earlier transformation." Annarose voice sounds in his mind. He nods and starts jogging into the woods Annarose staying close behind they have a ways to go he can only hope she can hold out.

Once they are far enough and I feel safe I throw the hunter to the ground quickly unraveling the sheet. My wife wasting no time attacking and crushing his head between her jaws the sound bone-crushing sickening. She claws him up ripping flesh and making a bigger mess of his throat I tore up. Then she quickly tore up the ground around her and takes off in the opposite direction of our cottage.

"Where are you going?" I question in curiosity.

"If I'm searched for later they might head in this direction. hurry I can't hold on much longer." She states in a weak-winded voice.

I quickly follow her staying away from her trail. I expected her to come to a stop but she kept going until she collapsed probably miles from the hunter. I flashed to her immediately not being able to stand my wife on the ground. Taking her into my arms I flash us back to the cottage within a few minutes nothing like the long jog or walking we have been trudging for hours. 

I brush all the dirt and leaves from her before taking her in and putting her to bed. She is remarkable in many ways. My little shifter. I move the hair from her face gently loving watching her rest knowing she was amazing today.

"My little shifter," I murmur softly.

One month later...

I make my way back to the cottage after scanning the property for any intruders. None. Since the hunter, we haven't encountered any more visitors that I'm whereof and there's not much that can escape my sight, scent, and hearing. I do lots of property runs now just to be safe. 

Once I'm within a mile of our cottage I hear Annarose vomiting outside. I flash to her side in an instant. She dry heaves and with the force of each, I think she will eject a stomach. I crouch down taking her hair from her hold holding it with one of my own hands and rubbing her back gently with my other. 

A few minutes and she burst into tears wiping her eyes and standing up.

"Baby what's wrong. Why would you be sick?" I say gently trying to soothe her. She keeps walking away in tears and I follow suit in worry wanting to fix whatever is causing her to feel this way. I know she's been sleeping more lately but she's been training hard with me. Maybe it's all too much.

"Maybe you need a break you've been working hard lately it's exhausting you. We have plenty of time to take a break." I quickly try to explain. She lays on the bed wiping her red eyes.

"I'm pregnant." She whispers as more tears flow from her eyes not once looking at me. I take a huge breath. She's pregnant. A smile automatically takes over my face happiness flowing through my body. 

I slowly walk over and sit beside her leaning down bringing my forehead to rest on hers. I kiss her pink little nose and then her cute flushed little cheek.

"I can't wait to have this child with you, love. We will raise it well together. I am a happy man right now I can't tell you how happy I am." I say slowly and in a low voice. Her breath hitches because of her tears. She sits up making me do the same and she smashes her head to my chest sniffling.

"I do want it. I do." She says in her teary voice. I wrap my arms around her tightly bringing her closer so she feels safe. I know why she's scared and I would probably be too if I were a human threatened by a vicious vampire. She needs to realize she is no weak human any longer.

She looks up into my eyes with her pure beautiful shinny ones with unspoken fears. Then she leans in lightly kissing my lips I'm only slightly shocked for a second and in that second of not responding she pulls away blushing like the rose she is looking down in embarrassment.

"I'm sorry I know it's not proper to kiss a prince he should always take the insensitive first." I grab her face between my two palms gently and she slowly looks into my eyes with suspense. I lean in locking our lips a tad ruffly her almost immediately responding. I lightly bite her bottom lip pulling it down with my teeth and thrusting my tongue forward she's lightly confused about what to do and it makes me smile.

"Move your tongue with mine," I mumble before thrusting my tongue back into her glorious little mouth. She soon starts to follow movements that resemble that of my own as our hands slowly wander over each other. Getting familiar with each others touches and feels. When we finally release were both locked in a lust-filled labored breathing daze. Both foreheads connected.

I reach my hand up rubbing my thumb back in forth over her cheek looking at her swollen rosy lips I'm drawn back in landing slowly to lock our lips as one again and she doesn't protest we kiss deeply and long my hand's fist in her hair wanting her lips as close as possible as she wraps her hands around my neck kissing me with just as must want and need of her own. I slowly pull away after we're on the edge and very heatedly close, especially me to taking her to bed and making her mine again and again.

When the time comes and she's ready it will be a night I've only dreamt of. She looks into my eyes with curiosity.

"You don't want to be intimate with me?" She's definitely got that all wrong I know she can feel my c**k digging into her bottom right now she's so close it's impossible.

"That's not it and you know it," I say sternly in a low deep voice. My jaw ticking with the need to prove her wrong.

"We can't because of the baby?" She asks in a soft saddened voice. I shake my head slowly at her.

"That's not it either. being intimate while your pregnant won't hurt you or our child. Your not ready Annarose. Don't give me that look please baby. Your not. Your emotional right now. I want you when I know you want me without a second thought and you want me because you love me Annarose because I love you and I want it like that between us." She looks down sadly. 

"How do you know you love me?" She whispers.

"I know. Trust me. You just know when you love someone and you can't live without them or the fact you wake up looking for them or how continent you feel when they are in your arms. Words don't even describe love. I know because I don't love Katherine and I've shamelessly done lots of things with my first wife and have known her all my life and still don't love her and I've tried, it's not something you can force in your heart its something you develop over a period of time and you either do or don't." I murmur to her softly stroking her back she runs her finger over my chest absentmindedly and speaks while still looking down.

"Is jealously love? Every time I think about Katherine and you or that she's your wife to, I can't help but be secretly jealous and want you only for myself and that makes me a horrible person I know." She whispers.

"Jealousy is certainly a start Annarose cause you only get jealous for those you care about and that doesn't make you even close to a horrible person. Do you hear? If a man were to be looking at you wrong I'd want to kill him so I'm far more horrible than you could ever possibly be, love." She looks up and smiles sweetly at me.

"How long before the child is born?" She asks with a tad of excitement evident in her tone which really makes me happy.

"Since your maybe a month along I'm no Dr. but I'd say about six more months since vampires carry till seven not the typical nine of humans. Were almost identical but with a few differences. Don't worry too much you are a vampire so death during birth you can say is not possible or the baby for its also a vampire. You might get occasional cravings for human foods I might add along with blood but since we also indulge in human foods for mostly appearance sake it's not taboo." I tell her while she lays on my chest quietly.

"What shall we name him if it's a boy and what will we name a girl if we have one?" I've had a few names picked and I really don't want to say. I want my heir to the throne to be named after my father for traditional purposes like I was named after his father and so on. Her title and that of our children are still what they are even if I hate it.

" A son we will name Jeramiah and I suppose a daughter Rose after her mother," I say softly in thought of my own. I haven't the slightest clue if Katherine will birth a son or not this round I can only hope she does. 

If she births me a son I won't have to perform s****l acts with her any longer and feel like I'm betraying my wife Annarose who I love dearly. If she births a daughter I will have to continue being intimate with her until she births a son. My life's too complicated. No matter what both of my wives will hurt one way or another. Katherine gets all the titles even our children with each other. Annarose has my heart my life and my love. 

"What are you thinking about?" Annarose asks quietly. I look into her eyes lovingly and can't believe I actually found my love my heart all in this one woman. Now she will be the mother of my children as well making me happier than I could have ever imagined.

"I was thinking how lucky I am even with such a complicated life." I smile clutching her closer to me not ever wanting to let her go.

"I was thinking too and your father said all our powers will be needed to fight the upcoming war. My father's kingdom will also fight but he won't he will just send his best warriors since it's not his battle. So I was thinking our child would be safer with him. He's a good man and will take exceptional care of our child until we return." She says low and I can smell the tears that sting her eyes. I kiss the top of her head sighing out.

"I'm not sure my father will allow it especially if you birth us a son. It's complicated." I tell her, in all honesty, murmuring in her hair. Her scent alone keeps me calm. 

"I can't help fight some battle Angelo if I don't feel our child is safe and I won't feel that way if our child is with Katherine." She says emotionally in a teary voice. 

"Katherine wouldn't dare hurt one of my children. She will be dealt with for her threats and actions when I return to the palace. She won't make the same mistake twice I assure you that. As a father and your husband you do need to remember yours and our children's safety reside in my hands I make decisions on the behalf of you all for your greater good. My children are safer with the strength of vampires to protect them. Humans are weak I can't chance the lives of my children. Katherine is no threat. You need to trust me in this." I say sternly. Maybe even a tad harshly. Women don't make the decisions on a king's child's arrangements. The fact she doesn't trust I would protect her and our children does infuriate me. The only way she will ever learn to trust my words is by her doing as I command and seeing with her eyes I will not let them be hurt, injured, or killed they are all of importance to me.
