Kennedy

As Quirin carries me back to the packhouse, I open my mind to him and Raif, and also to Echo.

'Echo, if you can hear me, we love you. We know you're taking care of our babies and being the excellent mother that you are. But Raif is here, Quirin is here. They will help protect our babies. You need to get strong, my wolf. I miss you, I tell her.

Raif begins purring in both our mind and out loud. I can feel Echo fluttering in my mind, responding to the gentle call of her mate. This is what Mom told me to try. Echo will want to please her mate, to be with him again, so having Raif in my mind and helping Echo connect to him may help to strengthen her.

'I'm willing to take as much time as my mate needs to help her gain her strength again, Raif says. "I already knew she'd be the perfect mother to my pups, and she hasn't disappointed me. But you need your strength, my love. I want to feel you in my mind too,' he says to her.

I can almost feel Echo laying down in my mind, her own soft purr feels like hummingbird wings fluttering against my consciousness. In my mind, I watch as Raif gets as close to her as he can, then he too lays down, watching over his mate like a sentinel.

When we step inside the packhouse, it looks like the entire pack is waiting for us.

"Welcome home, Luna."

"It's good to have you back, Luna."

"We love you, Luna.”

I smile, feeling the happiness and positive energy in the pack. "Thank you. It's good to be home."

Kier steps up with Arianna right behind him.

"Slater?" Quirin asks him.

"I sent warriors to make sure he's dead and to dispose of the body."

"Good," he says, turning to address the pack.

"Thank you all for getting here on short notice. And thank you to those of you who were dealing with the Slater garbage for ending things quicker than you were expecting. I ...” he begins looking down at me. “We have some very important and exciting news for you. As all of you have undoubtedly noticed, the feeling of the pack is changing. We have our Luna to thank for that. She is turning this pack into what it should have always been a family,” he says, watching me as he speaks. I ,can feel his pride and love for me flowing through our bond.

"And now, our family is growing," he says, and I hear the gasps around the room. The she-wolves in the room already know what Quirin is about to say, or at least part of it. He sets me on my feet in front of him, wrapping his hands protectively over my stomach.

"Our Luna is pregnant," he says and the pack responds instantly, cheering and howling excitedly.

Quirin raises a hand, waiting for everyone to get quiet.

"Pregnant with quadruplets," he says and it's like the air just got sucked out of the room. Their shock at his statement is like a wave rolling around the room. "We believe this is why Echo is still silent, although Raif and I have been able to feel her consciousness very softly in Kennedy's mind.

"Oh please, please can I be the one to tell Alpha Henry?" Kier asks, looking practically giddy.

I don't have to see him to know that Quirin gives him a dirty look before turning back to the pack.

"You all need to be aware that Kennedy will most likely have to go on bedrest at some point and I will become overbearing in my protectiveness of her."

I tilt my head to look up at my mate. "When were you ever underbearing, my love?"

He gives me a playful growl as the pack snickers around us.

"Lane," he says, looking up.

"Right here, Alpha," he says, stepping forward.

"I need your top three names for Luna Guard by tomorrow morning. From now on,

I want two guards on Kennedy at all times."

It's excessive, but I don't bother arguing. It will help Quirin feel more comfortable and eventually, the guards will just be sitting outside my bedroom trying not to die of boredom.

"Luna and I already started talking about that, Alpha. I'll have my list ready for you."

"Good. Now, I intend to celebrate my upcoming family with my mate tonight, but if the pack would like to celebrate this fantastic news, start planning a party. Work with Betas Arianna and Kier," he says, scooping me back into his arms.

He turns and carries me upstairs, not saying much until we get to the Alpha floor.

"Tomorrow, I need you to talk to David for me. He's been waiting in the cells for your verdict on him. I won't expose you and our pups to that environment, but I'd like to deal with that last open end of Arlo's betrayal. I want to start our life with a clean slate. I want everything in life that you're willing to give me, Kennedy. I want all the happiness, all the sunshine, all the love and light that you bring to me and I don't want anything to get in the way of that."

I reach up and stroke his cheek. "You mentioned something about giving me everything that you have to give, of not holding back?"

"Do you think you can take it?" he asks softly.

"I was made for you, Quirin. I can anything and everything you have to give me,

just as you can take everything that I have to give you."

We step into our room and he lays me on the bed. "Thank the goddess I can't get you anymore pregnant than you already are," he says, then jerks back. "I can't, right?" he asks, looking terrified.

I laugh. "No, you can't."

"Then yes, love of my life, I'm going to give you everything that I have, everything that I am."

Our first time is very much like always, with Quirin making me come and then losing control when he's inside me. This time, however, our minds are linked. I can sense the way he feels like I blast his darkness out of him, leaving him with the feeling of exquisite happiness that he's only ever felt with me.

However, he doesn't stop there. Maybe it's because we're mentally bonded but even after his powerful orgasm, he stays hard.

And this time, he takes his time.

His kiss, while still passionate, is slow and deep. His movements inside me remain controlled, slow and steady, driving me to the brink of bliss before pushing me over. The happiness inside of both of us, the pleasure that we're giving each other swirls around us and it's the most intense feeling I've ever felt in my life.

I feel tears streaming down my face as I hold onto Quirin, needing an anchor. His

own arms wrap tightly around me, but he doesn't stop. The pleasure, the happiness, the intensity of our love wraps around us just as our bodies are wrapped around

'I love you, Kennedy. I've always loved you. You are my everything. My life. My love. My future. My family."noveldrama

His words send a fresh wave of tears streaming down my cheeks and all I can do send wave after wave of love through the bond as I shatter in his arms.

Much, much later, we finally pull apart, separating our bodies but keeping our minds wrapped around each other. He lays beside me, pulling me against him and wrapping his arms around me.

"I will never, ever get enough of basking in your love, Kennedy," he says. It's the calmest I've ever heard my mate. There's no edge to his voice, no intensity, just relaxed happiness.

"That's good, Quirin, because I intend to love you for the rest of my life."

I feel his smile as he presses a kiss to my shoulder, and we'fall into a deep sleep together.

In the morning, I wake, still feeling emotionally exhausted after last night, but somehow also feeling energized. Quirin's love has that effect on me.

'Good morning, my human,' a very weak sounding Echo says in my head.

'You're back!'

'Yes. Quirin and Raif's love strengthened me enough to bring me back.

I add that to the long list of reasons of why I love my mate.
