Leland was used to sleeping under the stars. To him, it was the best. Being one with nature and enjoying the billions of stars in the night sky always made him feel at peace and content.
If Sophie wanted it, of course, he would say yes.
"Sure, we can do it," Leland said. "The weather is perfect for sleeping outdoors."
Before Sophie could jump in joy, the man quickly added apologetically, "However, for humans, it's not as comfortable as it looks. We must bring the fur coat so you can have a comfortable sleeping surface."
"Yeah, we can just bring the bag. We have everything we need there," Sophie said. Her face was beaming with excitement. She inched closer to her mate and whispered coyishly. "You can tell me more stories, and we can... uhm... have fun. You can tire me to sleep."
Leland swallowed his saliva at her teasing. Was this how she was during pregnancy? Sophie seemed bolder and needier. He really liked it.
"Then let's do it." Leland could not hold back a grin and immediately turned into a wolf.
Sophie chuckled and took the fur coat and their bag, and then climbed onto his back. After she was sitting comfortably and hugging his neck, Leland dashed away and took Sophie to the shore of a lake not far from the hut.
It was such a beautiful place, surrounded by a flower field. The water reflected the stars and moon in the sky, making the lake look like it was filled with glitter. The huge wolf stopped by a big rock and crouched down to let Sophie get down.
"Woah!" Sophia jumped off Leland's back and was amazed at the reflection of the night sky on the lake. Leland shifted into a human again. However, this time he didn't bother wearing his clothes.
Sophie, who was standing admiring the lake, was surprised when his big hands suddenly hugged her waist from behind. She could feel his skin. That means he was not wearing clothes. She turned around and smiled broadly.
The handsome man smiled back. He tilted his face and gave her a long passionate kiss. Then he took the fur coat and spread it on the ground and pulled Sophie to lie down with him.
"I remember the story when your father caught a bear and made your first fur coat," he said with a hoarse voice. "You loved it so much, you didn't let Anne wash it for weeks."
Then he kissed her lips, while his hands moved to lower her dress from her shoulders. Sophie moaned when his hand touched her breast and started kneading.
"I did....?" she asked with a little voice. Leland nodded. He peppered her face with kisses, then he moved up to undress her better. With both hands, he pulled her dress down, and now she was only wearing her underwear.
Sophie grinned when she saw his towering hardness. She liked this plan. Getting stories and pleasure at the same time.

Meanwhile, Nicholas, who had made up his mind to meet Sophie, finally arrived at the gates of Duke Romanov's manor. His arrival was immediately greeted coldly by Lucas and the lycans, who guarded the place.
Right now, Nicholas was dealing with Lucas. The Beta didn't say anything, but the look in his eyes said that Nicholas' arrival was not welcome in this place.
Even so, the king tried to stay calm and be nice. He really needed to see Sophie. "I came here not as a king but as Lady Sophia's friend. Can I see her?"
"She's not here," Lucas replied in a very unfriendly tone and then went back into the manor.
The disbelieving Nicholas decided to wait outside the gate. He lowered his pride as a king to meet Sophie because there was so much he wanted to talk about, and he was tired of all the questions that ran through his head.
From inside the manor, Luciel and Jan who were running around as they held grilled chicken thighs in their hands suddenly stopped when they saw Nicholas standing stubbornly outside the gate.
"Who is he?" Luciel wondered, then took a bite of the chicken thigh he was carrying. His mouth was adorably stained with sauce, and Jan shook his head in confusion.
They stared at Nicholas in silence for a moment before they turned to look at each other.
"Are you thinking what I'm thinking?" asked Luciel, to which Jan answered with a nod.
They both ran to the kitchen. When they arrived, one of the maids who saw them asked what they wanted or if they wanted to make something, but both children only shook their heads.
Jan asked the maid to prepare some good food on the plate.
The maid was confused because the two children had just finished eating even though they were still chewing the roasted chicken, but she still gave what the two children asked for.
She took two plates, but Luciel said they only needed one.
"Only one?" The maid furrowed her brows in confusion again, and Luciel immediately nodded.
After they got what they asked for, the boys immediately ran outside to meet Nicholas. They thought that Nicholas was homeless and he came there to beg for food. So, they intended to give him some food out of pity.
Such thoughts popped into their heads upon seeing Nicholas' disheveled appearance.
When leaving the capital, Nicholas took off his royal outfits and changed them into ordinary people's clothes. After which, he went to Hauntingen.
He traveled to Hauntingen for days. From the capital to Hauntingen and from Hauntingen to Livstad. During that time, he only showered once every three days. His disheveled tired look, hair, and face really made him look like a homeless man.
Nicholas' eyes immediately widened when he saw Jan and Luciel run out of the manor and head towards him.
Nicholas looked at the two small figures very closely. The two children really did look like him. This made Nicholas' chest feel heavy but also relieved.
He truly felt happy because he thought that his guess might be right. The two children were indeed his. But at the same time, he was confused about the way to describe his feelings.
Jan opened the gate.
"This is for you, Uncle," said Luciel as he gave a plate of food to Nicholas, but the man just kept quiet as he continued to stare at Luciel and Jan alternately.
Slowly, his eyes felt warm and began to water.

SOWWWYY... I had to cut the snusnu. I will continue it some other time. Something happened today and I accidentally deleted chapter 299 and replaced it with my future draft.
No idea how it happened. Today is just one of those days where everything just went wrong. I didn't have any copy and was frantic because I needed to rewrite the whole thing. Sobs.
Fortunately, K_Deck remembered most of what happened in Chapter 299 and gave me the outline so I could rewrite that chapter. To be honest, after I write my stories/chapters, I usually forget about them. I often read back a chapter and be amazed by what I wrote... Did I write this? I don't remember. HAHAHA... it's true!
Anyway, rewriting the whole chapter 299 from scratch really ruined my creative flow and I suddenly couldn't write anymore.
I will continue the outdoor snusnu in another chapter. Plus, I will do a mini mass release tomorrow (4-5 chapters). I hope it will give you a nice boost to face Monday ^^.
PS: LOL, the kids think their father is a homeless man begging for food. XD
