Iris's POV
Ariana didn't know what to say, she just pulled Rupert into a hug while she cried out her eyes, Rupert ran his hand on her back.
"I am sorry." Rupert said.
"It's fine, It's not your fault and I am not mad at you." She said pulling away from Rupert as she ran out, Rupert wanted to go after her, so I grabbed his hand.
"Let her be, they will both come around, all Mason needs is time to accept the fact that he is now a wolf and a vampire, and till he is convinced that he is not going to hurt Ariana, he will not be able to get over it."
"Aren't you scared that I might kill you when I get possessed by my vampire?" He asked with a sad face. "I almost did kill you when my vampire..."
"But you didn't and I know, you wouldn't, you are not putting me in danger, you have always protected me even when you are cursed, I think I got the solution to the problem." I pulled his face.
"And what could that be?" He asked kissing my forehead.
"Her scent, I notice that my scent was what calms your vampire, someone you love and care for, when that fellow is beside you, there is no way you can't be tame and there is no way you could hurt the one you love." He goes mute, probably he is thinking about something, and then his lips curve into a lopsided smile.
"And what else do you think I could do to let him feel more comfortable with that new creature in him?"
"I have been reading books as well, you could give them to him although they are not much record of those creatures but it's helpful, and being a half-vampire and a half-wolf will be advantageous." He kissed my forehead.
"Thank you for caring about me, I didn't know that there were books that could talk about vampires."
"I have to research because I need to prove that I am worthy to be your Luna and I need to know how to help you when that surface."
"You are worthy, more than worthy, it's just me that is not worthy of you?" He said, his voice was crowded with sadness.
"Why do you feel that way? Is it because you couldn't protect me and you blame yourself for all the things Russell did to me? You should know that I never expected anything from you, but you gave me everything, right from the first day, I set foot in your castle, you have done nothing but protect me, fighting alpha David, and providing medical care and food for me, was one luxury that I didn't expect that someone who everyone calls a beast could offer to a stranger and for all those pain you went through because I am stubborn, I felt bad as well because I realized that I am been stupid and couldn't detect your true scent and not that what worthless scent that Russell had made me believe. If I had listened to Sally, we wouldn't have all this problem, I felt guilty that I made you slay your brother and put Mason into this and you feeling bad hurt me more that if I had not been here, all this wouldn't have happened."
He stood there, rooted, I was tired of him feeling bad and hurting and he kept feeling guilty, he shouldn't be, I am the one that is supposed to be feeling that way because I am the one lacking all the sense of a true wolf.
"Iris..." He called but his voice was cracked and his eyes were watery like he was about to cry, he turned very fast from me, and I hugged him.
"My alpha, you don't have to bury all that pain inside of you, we are now one, I could share in your pain, as you share in mine." He snorts. "Let's start anew, let's be strong for our pack and our pup, we are merging the Packs." I moved from his back and came in front of him, he stared at me, and now I could feel that he was crying inwardly but he wasn't able to hold it, The tears dropped suddenly, and he wiped them off almost at the same time.
"Are you embarrassed?" I asked.
"You this naughty alpha." He pulled my nose playfully.
"Why are you giving your name to me?" I asked as we lay on the bed.
"I didn't realize that I am a naughty alpha." He presses his lips on the mate mark on my neck.
"Of course, you are a naughty alpha, and I also intend to tell our pup that their dad is a crybaby."
"Hey that is not allowed and you should know that, no one is to hear that, not even Campbell."
"My lips are sealed but I am only going to keep that if you agree to my wish."
"And what is that?" He finally wanted to know as he stared at the ceiling.
"Is it possible for the Luna to stay here with me?" He moves his gaze to me. "Please."
"I don't know if Luna will agree, she is still very sad about Russell's death and she might want to take care of Celina till she has her pup and father, will he be able to live far from his mate? Those two loves are inseparable"
"Then we could all live together at the royal house and do you think your dad will like the idea of merging the two packs?"
"Oh dear, I am the Alpha, not Dad, so it's my decision on that, but you have nothing to worry about, I will do my best to talk to the elders about it."
"Thank you, I will also talk to my pack elders, I am sure they will agree and also I want my pack soldiers to be trained by you."
"If that is what my lady wants." He presses his lips together, while I stare at him and the mere looking at him makes my desires bottle, I am getting aroused and I want to eat him.
"Iris, don't look at me like that?" He warned me.
I don't understand myself, Barely a few hours since I found out that I am carrying a pup in my tummy, I am craving stuff, not just food but also for sex, I wondered if he will like this new version of me, I hope he loves it.
"I love it." He said I know he could read my thoughts. If he loves it then we could as well fulfill my desires, I hope he is not tired.
"I am tired." His face was without expression and something in me told me that he wanted to see my reactions.
"Okay, I will just go to bed." My eyes are covered with disappointment, I don't want to sound like a selfish bitch. But his eyes didn't leave me, I pushed my hand into my hair and bit my lips, I was feeling so hot and I could smell something, that was my arousal, the more I tried to hide it the more the stupid scent kept emitting like a sweet cologne.
"Good night." He murmured, and tucked himself under the duvet, as he turned to the other side of the bed, backing me, didn't he smell me already, I moved my legs to the edge of the bed and sat on it.
"Iris." He called again and it seemed his voice did more harm than good.
"Rupert sleep if you are tired. Your voice is making it so difficult for me." I have to admit, he turned and looked at me, he was looking all angelic and yummy.
"What do you want?" He asked
