Her Pain

Richard's pov.

They equally agree with me. I feel my shoulders relax some..I didn't realise I was so tense waiting their response. My daughter then walks to me and places her cute little hands on my knee. "I always wanted a daddy..will you love me very much like mommy does?" My heart completely softens hearing her sweet voice. I need her to know what she means to me. I pick her up and place her in my lap so we are eye level. I feel the bond between father and pup immediately. Like I've loved her all my life..and I'd fight many battles to see her protection. She's very beautiful with long wavy hair like her mother..she looks like her mother but she has my eyes dark like night..she's perfect. I can never be without her our bond is love eternal. "Daddy already love's you just like mommy does. From the very first moment I saw you to be exact. You are very beautiful my Lilly." I engulf her little head in my hands and kiss her forehead. She giggles. Making me inturn chuckle at her cuteness. There are no truer words than that of what I just told her though. My son's rooted to stand right next to his mother ..eyebrows knitted in ..assessing me. I wonder what it is he see's when looking at me with such curiosity..what?..strength..weakness..maybe he doubt's my ability to take care of them..I don't know. His protectiveness is admirable to witness. He will be one hell of a wolf to trifle that's for certain. "Okay, let's be on our way..get you guy's settled in your new room's. Alright." Winter's going to follow me with the pup's to our residence. For the first time in..I can't even remember I feel an ora of completeness settling over me. Truefully..I'll never not accept another blessing from the moon Goddess. I wish I could of read what this would feel like in a book...or had someone tell me. I knew the love my parents had for one another..it was true love. Love with Amy had no bond though just purely love. This all feels so different..too fast ..but I want them now they are mine. I will never them go and i will cherish them the rest of my days!

Winter's pov.

Were all in the car buckled up following Richard to his residence. Now I can finally breathe some and my boggled minds clearing I'm trying to take it all in......I wander how long Amy's been gone an why wait so long to come for us?......I'm physically and mentally exhausted. The bond..it try's to weaken you so your wolf can take over and complete fate. His very proximity to me is over bearing..taking my very air..my heart pulsating heavily..my skin tingly..the bond stretching and pulling me towards him. How am I going to live with him under the same roof i add at that ..with my body betraying me letting him see how weak I am for him...it's not good. I can do this I tell myself..I can! It would just be easier if the bond didn't take away all logical thought process with it! "Mommy, don't worry..you always have me and Lilly..don't cry it makes something in side me feel awful." Julious states sadly. I didn't realize I had started to leak so I reached up with the back of my hand and quickly removed the evidence. Deep breaths..deep breaths.. " I loves you mommy it's all going to be okay." Lilly says to me. My pup's are strong I need to straighten up get myself together. I've always been strong ..been their mother and father..I cant let them see me like this...I need to be strong too! Richard's right Julious is his heir..and he will need his father's protection. I'll just take one day at a time. We start to arrive at a cute looking farm house..its big..white..and it has a porch swing..its a big porch. There's a big yard too. We lived in an apartment so this is really nice! Didnt picture Richard as the farm house type though but it's lovely. Just didn't see that coming. What did I see coming today though? His office was blah.. I park get out and go to Lillys side to unbuckle her.........I feel him...he's too close..all the air in my chest seems to abandon me..I try to step back distance myself from him get my lungs to start functioning ....and my knee's go out from under me. I hit the grass on hand and knee's my right hand clutching my chest..I need air oh,moon Goddess! Tears are fogging up my eye's rolling out the corner's of my eyes.....I hear Julious's panicked voice..then face come into my vision..his little eye's huge with worry. "Mommy..mommy..what's happening? What wrong? Mommy..look at me! Breathe!" A moment later I finally pull some air onto my lungs..I cough. I was only seconds from passing out. That----was freaky! I turn my head and Lilly's crying ..Richard has her in his arms trying to calm her. This bastard knows what he's doing to me! Thank Goddess he's got Lilly on his arms or I would kick him in his face! Why get so close? Was he trying to kill me? I mean he did about literally suck the life sorce outta me for Pete sakes! I have to get used to this bond..it has to get easier right? I was only ever close to him that one night but I don't remember nothing because of the pain I was under from my heating...it still has to get easier than this atleast. I pick my self up from the ground. " Thank you Goddess." Julious says. He helps steady me up right like the very good young man he is. I look at my..mate...still panting for air. I see concern in his eye's..eyebrows knitted eye's trying to see unseeable damage. "Are you alright? I know now I shouldn't have gotten so close. I just wanted to assist you with the pup's.....I know right now it doesn't seem like it but it.will.get.easier. I promise." Richard tells me kindly. "Please,let's all go inside." He tells us.
