The Hybrid Royals (book#2)

next step

Kylie POV

It's been 6 months since the girls had left to their new home and it has taken sometime to get used to, I miss them and I know Freddy does too but we also know it's for the best, we want nothing more than for them to be happy and experience the best life has to offer.

It isn't a long time at all, but so much has happened already.

We have finally got a well functioning clan. We are finally at a place when we can finally relax.

We are so lucky to have great family and friends who have helped us, too.

My dad has sent a few teachers to help with the school from his pack, which we are grateful for, we need to teach our young that even though the world can be a scary place, it'salso a wonderful and beautiful world, one where all species help one another.

We held a meeting asking if anybody would like to train as teachers, and amazingly, we have 3 vamps Susan, John, and Sam that have all stepped up. The teachers helping out from dads pack have offered to train our people to become teachers so we can eventually be a self sufficient Clan.

I know it's probably not the top of the list of things we need, but I want to learn the young of our clan about life and the importance of being kind.

My mum has been amazing too, she comes here regularly to help with anything she can, she isn't fazed about coming here to a clan full of vamps which I'm sure most weres would be because that's how the supernatural world has been learnt as Achlys wanted vamps to be feared. The first time mum came dad tagged along with her, and it was great to see them both. I know dad missed me and wanted to see me but I knew he wanted to protect mum because like I said she was coming to a clan of ruthless vamps and if it wasn't such a sad reason for why our clan wasn't fearless I would have laughed at dad. They came, and dad was high strung and on edge, watching for danger all around them. He was trying to be discreet, but we all noticed as Mum rolled her eyes. As soon as he could see the people in our clan, his whole demeanour changed. Dad is a true Alpha, and even though he's never spent time with vamps before, he was disgusted with how they had been treated. He couldn't understand it as an Alpha, a king should always put their people first, they should be lead with a fair but firm hand but also cared for as that was the whole point of the role as leader.

That was the day that dad realised we were starting from scratch learning as a clan together. He spoke with Freddy and offered to help. He offered to send some of his warriors to start training and teachers to help train any volunteers willing to help. To say we were elated by the offer would be an understatement, and we eagerly agreed.

When my parents left I was sad as I knew I was going to miss them but I also felt happy because I knew that they were going to send help so we could get on track and also stronger.

What did surprise me, though, was that mum came back with the teachers and warriors. She had them all carrying boxes, and if her smile got any bigger, I honestly think her face would break. The boxes were filled with so many clothes, towels, and just about everything you could think of for hygiene and self pampering. She was aiming most of it towards the women as mum always says, "we should all have self love and there's nothing wrong with a well deserved pamper." Some of the boxes were also filled with books and toys for the kids.

I know if I'm even an inch of a Luna as my mum, I'll be happy, but I do have the best teacher to learn from. I can't help but smile at the thought of my mum.

We have also held the official ceremony to become our clans royals, even if I'm not so sure about being called Queen, but that's our official title. The best thing about finally being connected to the clan is that mind linking them all is amazing, I love the fact that they can reach me at any point they might need me. I'm sitting feeling super excited tonight because I'm playing the waiting game. I'm waiting for the mindlink from Cal. Well, now known as Dr Cal, we are waiting for Shannon to go into labour with her son. Shannon is a lovely person who works in the kitchen. Everything she makes tastes so good, but my favourite is her amazing cakes, especially her chocolate gooey cake. When she came to us to notify us she was expecting I could see how nervous she was but that is because when Achlys ruled it was a law set by him for him to be notified straight away and I'd hate to know what he did when it came to that news. I explained that even though I'm so happy to know and happy for her and Nevill on their news, it was no longer a law. The relief that I could see in them brought me peace.

This will be the first birth since we took our place, so I was even more excited. I can't wait to meet baby Zak when he finally arrives, and Shannon gave Dr Cal permission to notify me when it's time. I wanted her to know that everything that would happen throughout her pregnancy would be decisions made by them, but I won't lie. I can't wait.

"Love, I'm sure it won't be yet," Freddy chuckled at my fidgety self. "I'm so excited," I say as I jump up and into his arms.

"I can't wait till it's our turn," but as soon as I say the words, he stops laughing "well when we are both ready, obviously.. maybe it's too soon.. I know not everything is sett-" but I'm cut off from my nervous rant with a kiss. His kisses always rendered me speechless as my body sparked into life, and I didn't want him to stop.

"Mmm," I moan, wrapping my legs around his waist, but I groan when he stops. "Don't stop," was all I could say, resting my forehead against his. "Do you mean it?" But I'm confused. "What?" I ask, kissing him from his mouth down his neck. Well, as far as I could reach, "having a baby?" That stopped me in my tracks. I'd lost my train of thought as soon as he kissed me. I didn't want him to feel rushed in any way at all, but I definitely felt ready. It's always been far from my mind, if I'm honest, especially growing up. I never thought I'd have a stable enough home for a child so I made peace with that years ago but now I've got a life I've always dreamed of, I dared to dream and open my heart to starting a family. To finally become a mummy.

I wiggle slightly, so Freddy knows to put me down, and when he does, I'm already missing his touch. I sit on the bed and pat the bed next to me, and wait for him to sit down.

When he's sat, I hold his hand and take a breath. Here goes..

"It's something that I wanted to talk to you about, I shouldn't have just blurted it out like that," I say as nerves filled me. "What is it?" he asked, looking as nervous as I felt."I.. I was wondering how you felt about starting a family, I don't want to rush you," I said quickly, but his smile stopped me talking. "Really.. I'd love that, " he said, wrapping his arms around me, knocking us both back onto the bed and laughing.

"We are starting now," he laughed as he pulled off my vest and shorts. Peppering me with kisses, as I giggled.
