Willow puked her guts out.
"Don't laugh, vampire. This is all your fault. I'm not letting you touch me. Ever again," Willow said vehemently before covering her mouth and beelining to the bathroom. She had to puke her guts out especially when she woke up. The bile taste that lingers afterwards never leaves her mouth. And Lothaire's chuckles behind her is not easing her at all. Oh, how she will kill him slowly!
It has been 2 months since Lothaire restored his powers and his throne.
After the ritual that bound Christopher completely, they returned to the city dragging their feet. They don't speak about their relationship. No words are needed. They both know what they feel for each other, what they are willing to do for each other. It is inevitable.
Willow called Azrian, her team leader on the way to the city. She related what the mage said about the she-wolf and a spell.
Azrian is shocked and thanks her for the information. She said it is the proof she needed to help the werewolf king.
Lothaire and Willow set into the routine as king and queen as if they were born for it. There were minor hiccups in the kingdom but nothing that can't be ironed out with a little bit of intimidation.
Willow has moved to his castle to live with him. Since she has no house and no job she decided to stay with him. Or so she tells herself. In truth, she can't live without Lothaire.
They both hunt the rogues in the kingdom together now. Willow dared him to stop her from doing her job. Lothaire grumbled and after thinking wisely, agreed to her demand with one condition. He will tag along.
And the words of mage came true when after a month, Willow woke up to feeling bile in her mouth and her nipples throbbing. She didn't want to believe it at first. Pretending she has a new genetic stomach infection that can get only to a fae who is having sex with a vampire. Pretty soon, her excuses ran down when she found a bump instead of a flat stomach. No, she isn't fat.
They were confused at first as they didn't think it's possible. But the miracle did happen and after the physician checked her, they were double shocked to learn she is carrying twins. A miracle never heard of.
If possible Lothaire chest puffs more nowadays. He has what every supernatural craves. A life mate and twins on the way.
Willow is delighted. The family, the sense of home that is taken from her is restored by date once again.
The danger to their lives is always there but with his power, he is ready to face anything and anyone.
Willow still keeps in touch with her teammates. They have their own stories to tell, their own journeys to travel.
The mage is still out there alive and now with the knowledge of Lothaire's power. They knew that she was not done with her greed yet. She will come again. And they will be ready along with her teammates.
*The mage next appears in the Fae kingdom.
