***Demetri's POV***

Ivana's Family.

Wow!

Vampires and werewolves are separated for a reason.

The day that coven stepped foot on Red Moon territory, all hell broke loose.

I thought Collin was going to start a bon fire. Ivana's family would be the kindle.

22 vampires in a room with almost as many werewolves was a recipe for a Lifetime movie.

Ivana's brother Ian started the first round. He made an off handed comment regarding Collin skirting Alpha duties to play Daddy. I have never seen a man shift so fast in my life. Not Collin, no that would have been funny.

My Dad shifted and had Ian on his back in milliseconds. Mom clapped and Ivana's mother screamed. To be fair, the dickhead had it coming. It took me, Alex and Efran on top of Carter to calm Dad. We ended up dragging him outside. He demolished that poor Oak tree. We are getting a new picnic table or two.

The next round went to Ivana's mother. She picked and pulled everything Ivana did apart. The milk wasn't warm enough. The bath was too hot. The clothes were the wrong colors. The names were horrendous. I thought Gia and Aeon were gorgeous names. Don't cuss in front of newborns. Don't sing that song. Breast is best. You could have sliced the tension with a satin thread. Alivia took that fight. She bitch slapped Ms. Gaius after she called Ivana an imbecile.

I won't lie, I fucked Alivia in the bathroom after that. My Luna was a hero.

Then the blowout started. Ivana's uncle Vladimir waltzed in the door and immediately called Lily beloved. That is the vampire equivalent of mate. Collin lost his ever loving shit. He took poor Vlad to the cleaners. The 38 year old was kicking his feet from seven inches off the ground. When his face turned pumice we stopped the physical attack.

The war of words were thrown next. Collin cursed Vlad into hell. He told him he would blow the devil's dick before he would claim Lily. Elise's face was comical. Carter had to give Collin a sedative to get him remotely calm. The damn shot didn't even knock him out.

After a good hour of listening to priceless threats, an agreement was made. Vlad could have Lily. But, he had to pledge Red Moon and move to Lily's room. They weren't even allowed to move into their own home until Dad, Carter and Collin decided.

I laughed until I puked. Vlad was practically promising his left nut. Lily was begging him to save that particular appendage.

By the end of the hour Vlad had Lily in a very conservative position beside him on the couch. They looked like two teenagers on their first date, meeting the parents. Epic!

Next Crescent Moon was attacked. That went over as well as a blizzard in Libya. Ivana's father, dear Mr. Angus Gaius, decided to question our treaty. My cackles rose and Renzo starred in the show. That bastard asked what we had to offer. My fist went flying and so did his body. Twenty seconds and thirty feet later, Renzo was pinning him to the floor.

I let the leech know, we didn't ask for his useless opinion. I wasn't about to justify my role in the life of my Luna's home. As Efran, Dad, Alex, Carter, Collin and Vlad tried to hold me down, thrashing persisted. Max and Jak tried to help. I broke thru the barricade of wolves and landed too many blows.

Angus was livid. He started threatening to call a favor in from the witches. That was a low blow that earned a punch from Alex. Twin fists rained fire upon the face of the 45 year old Sire. No signs of stopping fell upon us as Angus continued letting his mouth write checks his ass couldn't cash.

All fighting abruptly came to a complete halt as one sentence was roared into the air.

"I'm pregnant." Alivia screamed.

Radio. Fucking. Silence.

A good two minutes hung in the air like carbon monoxide. Silent. Deadly.

Then the words caressed my ears and wrapped around my soul like a warm kiss. I shifted back and dropped to my mother fucking knees. My breath caught in my throat. Renzo went MIA.

The big bad Alpha was literally crying crocodile tears.

My world spun in pirouettes. Tiny fairies rode thru the air on unicorns. I felt like my heart would rip from my chest and explode into glitter.

"Are you fucking serious?" I asked.

"Yes baby. We are pregnant. Four weeks. I found out this morning." My love confirmed the best news of my life.

"Yesssss." Mom squealed.

"Congratulations." The word was shouted in a symphony of cheers.

"Fuck yes!" I kissed Alivia like she was the air and I was a suffocating man.

Needless to say, the Jerry Springer Show came to a complete stop. No one bickered. No insults were thrown. A tiny embryo brought absolute peace in a quickly unraveling world.

We called the rest of my pack over for a huge bon fire. Food started being grilled. Games began. Music was blaring. I lead both packs on a hunt for the meat.

Once we returned, partying ensued. Liquor was consumed. Cigars were passed around from Collin's personal stash.

"I'm so happy for you." Efran hugged the life out of me.

"You're next." I told my Gamma.

"About that." Efran scratched the back of his neck.

"How far along?" I laughed.

"Three weeks." Lindsay clapped.

I announced to both packs that we had another arrival to celebrate. The crowd went wild and smiles couldn't be brighter. Congratulations we're passed along and hugs followed.

Lily took all four babies with Ian into the pack house for a night of relaxing and getting to know each other. I'm not sure about how much relaxing was going to occur.

"This is fucking awesome." Alex cheered.

"Dude you have your own kid." Efran joked.

"The more the merrier." Mom giggled.

"Goddess, six pups." I whispered.

"Assuming you don't have twins." Dad guffawed.

"Shit." I freaked. I just stood there in stunned silence.

"It's not that bad." Collin laughed.

"We did it twice." Dad soothed.

"Quit jinxing me." I groaned playfully.

"Judging by the timing, I'd say you got Alivia pregnant on that desk." Dad cackled.

"Oh Goddess." I laughed.

That brought on a short trip down memory lane.

"That's where you and Alex were conceived." Mom blurted out.

"Eww." Alex shuttered.

"Ah, the magic desk." Dad sighed as if he was reliving the best night of his life.

"This is an over share." I whined.

"My boys are both going to be Daddies." Mom cried.

"Izzy and Ari are next." I joked.

"I will put chastity belts on them." Dad threatened.

"Oh okay." I rolled my eyes.

"Shut up." Dad whimpered and we all laughed.

"You got a few more years, old man." Efran clapped Dad on the shoulder.

"I'm not too old to beat your ass, nephew." My Dad warned him.

"Would you look at the time." Efran whistled as he glanced at the stars. His eyes avoiding the object of his jeers.

"Time for the old man to go to bed." Lindsay giggled. She kissed my dad on his cheek as she ruffled his thick head of hair.

"Efran get your woman." Dad joked. He wrapped his arms around Lindsay whispering bs in her ear, no doubt.

The night continued in hours of joking, laughing and bonding. We enjoyed the presence of each other and our allies.

The vamps stayed behaved and we included them in our conversations. The tension from earlier that morning had melted like ice under an Arizona sun.

When the night wound down, we took three exhausted new moms home to their beds. Babies were rocked and put to sleep. The old man retired to his bed as well.

Efran carried an exhausted Lindsay to their room. The joy of the pup permeated the air.

Finally, I sank into the sheets with the woman carrying my legacy. My heart was full and my mind was at peace. Everything was perfect. We wouldn't struggle to get pregnant. That fear was futile. She was passed the safety marker for werewolf miscarriage. We would have a pup, at least one.

I laid my head on her swollen belly. As I rubbed my palm across her taut skin, I wondered how I missed all the tells that Alivia was carrying our pup.

Her breast were already a tiny bit firmer. Her belly was definitely swollen. Alivia's scent was stronger and sweeter. I honed in on the heartbeats thumping in her chest and abdomen.

Thump. Thump. Thump Thump.

My ears perked and I dug my head further into her skin, listening intently.

Thump. Thump. Thump Thump.
Thump. Thump. Thump Thump.
Thump. Thump. Thump Thump.

"Shit." I hissed startling Livy.

"What's wrong?" Alivia worried.

"It's definitely two." I confessed my revelation into the moonlit air of our Alpha Suite.

"What is?" Alivia asked as she sat up.

"Listen." I ordered Livy gently as I continued to hear the ever present beat of dual hearts. A louder beat echoed behind.

Alivia was quiet until she fell back into the comforter.

"OMG. It's twins." Alivia whispered like a louder tone would make it more real.

"Fucking twins." I laughed.

"What a perfect shit show." Alivia giggled.

I lifted my head from Alivia's belly and hovered above my sexy mate.

"You're so beautiful kitten." I breathed out before I captured her satin lips between my full lips.

I dropped beside her and pulled her onto my chest. Alivia's body melted into me. Our lips danced in a passionate tangle. My tongue evaded her mouth and I massaged her flesh. I stole her breath and replaced it with my own. We fought for control that I obviously kept.

My hands cradled my greatest gift's face as I kissed her for what felt like hours. Our bodies intertwined and at some point our clothes found a new home on the floor. I explored my mate's body with my tongue. My lips paved pathways upon her warm flesh. My hands memorized every new curve and angle of her changing body. Her soft ivory skin tattooed its fingerprints upon my tan skin.

I breathed in the new scent. I lapped her folds with my tongue. I took extra care to bring her such immense pleasure that her voice was a whisper in between pants of ecstasy.

I wrapped my wet tongue around her swollen pink buds. I suckled against them and twisted my tongue like a serpent lapping her sensitive peaks.

I licked her arousal and drank from my favorite fountain. My heart beat set the rhythm once I was buried deep within her walls. Slow and steady strokes drew mewls and whimpers from her perfectly parted pout.

My fingers weaved in and out of her hair. My canines lightly scraped against her mark ripping moans from her throat. Kisses and soft love bites were planted against the soft skin of her jaw, collarbone and chest.

Sweat trickled between our bodies. Skin slapped and my balls seated between her cheeks. My hips rocked and twisted as I chanted my prayers into her mouth.

Her name became my favorite song to sing. When she sang my name in unison we created a duet of lust and love.

My climax slid from my body in a powerful pull. My seed exploded into Alivia coating her walls with the evidence of my completion. My breaths were transferred to my Luna as I claimed her lips in kiss after tantalizing kiss.

We collapsed into the soiled sheets and fell tangled in one another's arms. You couldn't feel where my body ended and her body began.

Her soft breaths kissed the night air as I sent my appreciation to the Moon Goddess for all the twists and turns that lead me to these moments.

To think that at first I claimed my mate's identical twin sister, is both scandalous and incredibly ridiculous.

The Moon Goddess doesn't make mistakes. She had it right all along.

Trust her. She has a pretty good track record.
