Chapter 183: Chapter 183 Epilogue 2: A Family of Four-Part one
"Zia Lumina!" Gianna bounds speedily towards the main gates a radiant broad smile upon her face, bubbling laughter erupting from the pit of her belly as she regards me.
"Gia." I chuckle kneeling upon the earth, my arms wide open for her to sink into. Her supple flesh collides with mine whilst she nestles into my chest inhaling my scent.
"I missed you." She whispers as I fondly pat her back, I feel as though I am reuniting with my daughter. The first pup I forged a motherly attachment with.
"I’ve missed you more," I murmur whilst she glares playfully at my words while shaking her head in denial.
"No, I did more than you did." She battles back laying her hands on her hips narrowing her eyes at me.
"I think I did most." I boop her tiny nose as she giggles jumping on her feet, she cannot control the excitement she holds for our arrival.
" Did you not miss me, Gianna?" Deimos’s sonorous voice pierces through our bubble as he strives to hold onto an unsettled Kal who demands to be let down.
"I did not, Zio." She peers up at him ridiculing him with her dishonesty.
"Then I shall leave." Deimos turns around swiftly pretending as though her words have upset him as she shrieks and dashes forward. She wraps her arms around his right leg hugging him gazing up with a shimmer in her eyes.
"I was merely playing. I missed you too.." She smiles widely revealing to him her set of teeth with the self-esteem of their growth.
Faint growls blare from Kal’s chest as he shifts from his comfortable position to stare down at her with dislike, his lips pulled back greens sharply narrowed at her he declares, "My papa." We had noticed this before Kal does not like it if Deimos associates with other pups for he is profoundly possessive of his father.
"Kal, be nice." I reprimand as he directs his attention to me.
"No." He states blatantly moving in his father’s arms to bind his limbs around his neck laying his head upon his shoulder, his way of showing whom Deimos belongs to.
"Is this Kal?" Gianna questions softly circling Deimos like a predator to acquire a precise look at our pup. She had anticipated for three years to meet him. When we notified her that we would be bringing him with us she was very enthusiastic.
"Yes, Gia. This is our male, Kal." I utter as our male attempts to hide his face from her prying eyes. He finds her bothersome.
"Gio!" Deimos hollers abruptly as I startle and turn to heed the male who nears us. My eyes broaden with astonishment as I examine his being from head to toe. How can a male transition this much in a matter of three years? No, this is not the same modest wolf I saw last time for this is a fully grown Alpha male.
He grew to become more towering over me and has filled out in all the appropriate places. Muscles protrude wildly beneath his skintight shirt, eyes observant and sharper. Viens are surprisingly prominent as they make their way from the tips of his wrists up to his bulging biceps.
Each step he takes forward exhibits confidence and purpose. His spine firm and head high he walks with pride of these lands, unlike the male who was suffocating in loss and panic like the last time I saw him.
"I think you are mistaken, this is not our Gio," I lean my flesh towards Deimos to mutter with awe in his ear.
"It is our Gio, my female."
"B-But look at him." I gawk at the male who saunters with intimidation possessing a mild look of affection in his striking orbs.
"He has merely trained, that is all. He has matured Lumina." My male speaks with the contentment of Gio, he did always fear the young Alpha would be swept by the unyielding currents of the loss he and his sister faced. But it seems to me as though he has risen above the relentless waves.
" Uncle. Aunt." He greets us with a delicate smile and a terse dip.
"Gio." I beam up at him whilst Deimos smiles clemently at the male. "How have you been?"
"Quite occupied, actually. I have not one but two females I am responsible for." He jokes as I comb behind him seeking to locate her only to find males standing in reverence.
"Where is she? Where are all your females?" I ask frowning or this is uncanny, I thought they would be here to welcome us.
"They are with Ira. Is this Kal?" He exercises a step forward with inquisitiveness and he takes a quick peek at my belly too, his happiness for us consuming him but my male ceases our surging conversation.
"How about we all head inside first?" Deimos queries as I laugh awkwardly. Indeed we are so curious about the other that we have merely stood by the gates the entire time.
"Of course, please come inside. Take their luggage, Mario." Gio nods towards another wolf who quickly heeds to his command clutching our suitcases to carry inside his home.
Because we are merely staying for a few days, Deimos requested Gio that we sojourn in his home instead of the villa we tarried in three years ago. We wished for Kal to get accustomed to these wolves for we decided we shall come to visit frequently.
Whilst we follow them inside, Kal fusses in his father’s arms asking to be transferred to me. I quickly pay heed to his wishes taking him from Deimos settling him over my right hip as he perches comfortably taking in his new surroundings with eagerness.
I am relieved he feels better now for he thoroughly detested the flight here, screeching with discomfort and distress at the top of his lungs. Deimos and I struggled to pacify him but nothing worked.
I tried wandering up and down the aisle swaying him, singing him a lullaby and Deimos attempted the same after me but he still refused to calm. I presume it was the air pressure, it may have irritated his ears. We understood for it was his first time flying after all.
