A Pearl Amongst Wolves (MxM)

My Princess: Ash POV

So fucking adorable! As I finished another omelette, I looked back at my baby, full of adoration. As he stared at the counter, his face was decorated with a cute blush. I could feel his embarrassment through our link and I couldn't help finding it cuter. How could someone be so cute and adorable? As I sat the plated omelette in front of him, I lifted his chin so that our eyes met. Kissing his lips gently, I looked into his pink diamonds,

"You don't have to be embarrassed, princess. It's normal to have mood swings during pregnancy. Plus, it's very cute."

He looked down briefly before meeting my eye once more with a smile,

"If you say so..."

I kissed his cheek and went to make my own omelette. Lex leaned against the counter next to me and spoke with fondness in his tone,

"Reah's mood swings are just as random. You'll get used to it, though."

I nodded as I finished up the omelette,

"I don't mind. If they're all that adorable, I'd even look forward to them."

Lex snorted before taking a swig of his water,

"Careful what you wish for."

I rolled my eyes as he exited with a knowing smile and stood across from my happily eating princess. He looked up at me and smiled with a bit of bacon crumb on the corner of his lips. I swiped it away with my thumb,

"Do you want another one, princess?"

He tilted his head slightly as he thought for a moment before shaking his head and rubbing his slightly rounded tummy,

"No. I think we're full."

I smiled and tapped his nose causing him to blink and smile,

"If you say so, princess."

I finished up my food and carried my babies back upstairs. My princess was knocked out before we even reached our room. I didn't want to disturb him so, instead of laying him on the bed, I laid down with him on top of me as gently as possible. He clutched my shirt slightly as he snuggled further into my chest. So cute. I think I was blessed with the cutest mate in the world. I laid down with him in my arms and he sighed against my chest as I combed through his hair gently. Listening closely, I focused on the sounds that kept me going when my baby was in a coma. The steady sound of three heartbeats, two of which were nearly completely in sync. I smiled at the sound and the calm it brought. A constant reminder that they were okay. That they were safe here in my arms.

The sound of my phone ringing woke me up. I didn't even realize that I fell asleep. My phone rang again and I quickly picked it up without moving my babies around,

"Hello..."

"Ash, honey? Where are you? I've been calling you since this morning. We have guests and you need to be here to greet them as heir."

It took me a second to register my mom's voice. I took a breath and pulled my phone away from my ear and saw that, indeed, my mother had called me 8 times since around noon. I rolled my eyes and started to place the phone back on my ear when my princess shifted slightly, and groaned quietly. As I continued to hold the phone away from me, I watched my pretty baby. A smile pulled at my lips as I watched his small movements before hazey pink diamonds revealed themselves. I kissed the top of his head and he sighed quietly before blinking up at me with a slightly tired smile,

"Hi..."

I kissed his nose causing his smile to widen,

"Hi, princess. Did you sleep well?"

As he nodded, I heard a squeaking voice that was breaking through our intimate moment. Oh, yeah; I'm still on the phone. I placed the phone back on my ear while combing through my princess' soft hair,

"Hello, mom?"

"I'm here, Ash. Are you coming to your dad's office, now? The guests are waiting."

"Who are they, if I may ask?"

"They're the Alpha family of the Blood-Pine Pack along with the Beta. Technically, we're still waiting for the Alpha's heir. He was slightly delayed but should be arriving at any moment. Hurry!"

As I started to hang up, she spoke again in a slightly quieter tone,

"Plus, I want you to meet the eldest daught-"

I hung up before she could finish the sentence while rolling my eyes and growling.

"Ash?"

My princess' soft voice pulled me from my agitation as his soft, slender hands cupped my cheek. I smiled at him; kissing his soft lips before responding,

"Just my mother being my mother. I'm okay, princess."

He studied me a bit before nodding with a smile and kissing my lips and cheek,

"Okay."

Rubbed circles onto his back,

"Apparently, we have official guests from a nearby pack and our presence is requested."

He glanced down slightly,

"Your presence was requested, according to your mom."

Sadness filtered through our bond and I quickly lifted his chin before his mood got any lower. As his eyes met mine, I kissed his lips passionately, filtering my love for him through our bond until the sadness dissipated and was overtaken by adoration. As we separated, I smiled at his slightly flushed cheeks, brushing my thumb against the soft skin lightly,

"You're my beloved soulmate. Where I go, you go; okay?"

He nodded with happiness shining in his eyes. I kissed his cheeks once more before helping him to his feet. Of course, I carried him to the door right before the office. If he hadn't asked to be let down, I would've continued to carry him. Opening the door, I led my princess in first, before following closely behind. As I closed the door, I was met with a family of 5. The obvious mom and dad, along with two boys and a girl. My princess and I smiled politely and nodded respectfully. I spoke first as I guided my baby to a seat,

"Welcome to our pack. I'm Ashton Crystal-Lake and this is my beautiful mate, Myst Moon-Shadow."

My baby smiled as he sat down, speaking in his gentle tone,

"Hello."

A/N: First and foremost I am so sorry for disappearing for nearly 3 months. I was dealing with a lot of things that happened all at once and the stress left me with quite a bit of writer's block, amongst other things, but now that things have calmed down I will get back to regular updates. I hope you guys can forgive me. I really am sorry (┬┬﹏┬┬)
