I tightened the sash around me as Viktor clung to my leg ever since he finished his shower and I found it very cute. I just hate the circumstance that made him like this and I hope he burns.
"Doe, can I sleep in your bed tonight with you and Max?" Viktor asked nervously.
"Of course you can, you are safe with us," I said kneeling to his level and hugged him.
He only nodded into my shoulder as he clung to me.
I picked him up and carried him over to the couch. I say us down with him on my lap and I nuzzled his neck scenting him to show he is my pup. He started to relax as I rocked us slowly when the doorbell rang.
"Coming," Max said running to the door and opened it for our guests.
"Maxim where is this mate of yours?" A woman's voice rang through the foyer to the living room.
"He is in the living room with Viktor consoling him after his friend's dad asked to bathe with him," Maxim explained as he led them to the living room. "Doe these are my parents."
I shifted to put Viktor on the couch so I could stand and once I did I made my way over to them. The woman was in her mid-fifties and hade long ice blonde hair that fell in curls down her back that complimented her face shape. The man had the same build as Max did but less muscular and his brown hair was starting to grey at the temples.
I could not seem to take my eyes off them.
"I'm Dower Maxim's mate and it is an honour to meet you," I said bowing.
"Well aren't you darling and you both completed the mating ritual." the woman said, "You can call me Mom or Lyamina whichever you prefer and my husband is Abram or Dad."
I nodded as Viktor got up and ran to be behind me as he held my leg.
"Awe Viktor don't worry they won't hurt you," Max said picking him up.
Viktor only nodded as both Abram and Lyamina hugged me.
"So are we expecting any grandpups anytime soon?" Abram asked.
"Yes actually we found out earlier today that we are expecting at least one pup," I whisper to them.
Lyamina squealed in delight and pressed a hand to my belly.
"Great and Maxim did tell you about the family business right?" Abram asked as he looked me over.
"He just told me earlier today," I whispered.
"Good so you will need to get the tattoo somewhere no one will see."
"I do know that."
Max rubbed my shoulders and smiled softly.
"So let's eat before my little Doe feels ill again."
"Yes, lets." Abram agreed and smiled softly at me and Max.
Max led the way to the dining room as his parents followed us and I took my usual seat beside Max with Viktor beside me. His parents sat across from Viktor and me as they looked closer at my outfit.
"Is that a genuine Japanese kimono from Japan, Dower?" his mother asked me.
"Well, mom I don't know because Maxie bought it for me when he first showed me the town," I answered as I blushed.
"It is from Japan and that is why he is wearing it," Max said leaning over and kissed me.
I blushed even more as I kissed him back and I wiggled in my seat as I pulled away from Max's lips.
Dinner was served to use and it was roast beef and it made my mouth water as I caught a whiff of it with its sides.
"Good red meat is good for you to eat," Abram said smiling.
I nodded as we all started to dig in and when it came time to eat my stomach grumbled angrily wanting to be fed faster.
I took the first bite of food and I smiled as it tasted amazing. It was the best food that roast I ever had and the chef put a bowl of borscht beside my plate.
I nodded to them as I continued to eat the roast as everyone ate.
I was happy to have a new family and one that accepts me for who and what I am. Though this line of work is going to have its challenges and I don't know if I will be able to handle it but I am willing to try.
