Livianaâs POV
I fluttered my eyes open as I turned to hug Luke beside me.
I smiled when I saw his sleeping face.
âHappy Birthday, buddyâ I whispered and gave him a k**s on the forehead.
I carefully made my way out of the bed and into the bathroom to get ready for the day.
I also wanted to check if everything was okay since we started decorating for Lukeâs birthday party last night.
I showered and got dressed in a navy blue romper so I can move comfortably if I needed to help in any way.
I can change later anyway.
I got out of the room after giving Luke another k**s.
Then, I peaked in inside of Luanâs room beside mine.
He was still asleep so I didnât bother wake him up.
I made my way down and saw that a lot of people were already awake.
I saw Beau, Cassandra and Katie by the kitchen.
âHeâs turning 3 years old. Not 18, you i***tâ Cassandra scolded Beau.
âItâs just alcoholâ Beau whined.
âItâs a childrenâs party not a bachelor party, you dimwitâ Katie butt in.
âWhy are you two teaming uo against me?â Beau said stunned.
âItâs because youâre stupidâ Katie and Cassandra said in unison.
Then, they looked at each other and squealed happily.
I chuckled at the sight.
âYou guys spend way too much time together. Itâs not goodâ Beau said with a frown.
Katie and Cassandra just ignored him.
Itâs true that Katie and Cassandra have been spending an awfully a lot of time together.
I spend a lot of time with them as well when I have the time.
âLivi, I canât take them anymoreâ Beau said and went behind me.
I chuckled.
âHiding behind Livi wonât do you any good, Beauâ Cassandra said crossing her arms in front of her chest.
I turned to look at Beau.
âPut that away. You guys can drink tomorrow after Lukeâs birthday but not today. Their are kids comingâ I said.
Beau sighed and nodded.
Then, I gave him a pat on the back.
âYouâll get used to it eventuallyâ I told him.
Beau just sighed.
I chuckled.
I went to the corner and started making myself coffee.
âIs there anything I can help with?â I asked.
Katie and Cassandra shook their heads.
âWe already double checked everything. Itâs all fine. No worriesâ Katie assured me.
âYou can even go back to bed. Why did you even wake up so early?â Cassandra said.
âI just wanted to checkâ I said with a shrug.
Katie and Cassandra organized the party this time.
They insisted on it.
It was fine since I wasnât really the best party planner.
âWhereâs Luan? Heâs still not awake yet?â Beau asked when he came back.
âYeah. Heâs still sleeping in his roomâ I said.
Beau, Katie and Cassandra glanced at each other.
âWhat?â I asked seeing their looks.
âYou guys have been sleeping separately since you came backâ Katie pointed out.
âDidnât you guys used to sleep together before Luke was born? I couldâve sworn you guys slept in the same room as matesâ Beau said.
I took my coffee and tasted it.
âYeah. So why do you guys keep sleeping separately still?â Cassandra said.
âBecause Luke canât sleep without me by his sideâ I said with a shrug.
They glanced at each other again at me.
âOhhhh. I get it. You guys canât sleep together with Luke, right? Like, yâall canât do the deed so you guys sleep separately so yâall wonât get tempted?â Katie said.
I flushed red.
âN-noâ I denied.
They all looked at me teasingly.
The girls nudged me.
âOh come on. Luke is old enough to get another sibling, Liviâ Cassandra teased.
My face was burning up from embarrassment.
Okay so maybe that is part of the reason why Luan and I avoid sleeping in the same bedroom.
All those hot nights in the past are still in tact in my memories.
Also, Luan and I havenât even marked and claimed each other again.
Technically, weâre like back to the start.
Itâs a little complicated to do it as well these days since it was still pretty hectic.
Iâve only been Queen for a good 3 months and I was still very busy with fixing the whole werewolf community.
I encounter problems here and there with packs.
Sometimes, I even personally deal with it.
Itâs not common but I do it anyways.
If I deal with it myself, I finish it quickly.
The earlier I finish the tasks, the easier things will be.
Of course, I earn a lot shocked reactions from the wolves that I meet while I do my responsibilities.
In fact, Iâm quite the talk in the werewolf community.
âThe Queen visited a pack in the south herself last weekâ
âThe Queen dealt with the rogue problem in one of the packs in the northâ
âThe Queen personally takes care of the packsâ
Most of them are really good feedbacks.
Iâve realized how lacking Luis Grey was in his time.
And Iâve also realized how nosy I am.
Iâm the Queen but I still pretty much act like an Alpha.
But itâs still good though.
Iâm glad that Iâm able to make both territories a better place for my people.
Itâs tiring but fulfilling.
Thankfully, Iâm still able to give time to Luke.
I donât miss out on bonding with him every chance that I get.
Luan on the other hand is very hands on with Luke when Iâm away.
Iâm very thankful for that.
âLet me get some air outsideâ I said and rushed to escape from the 3.
I went to the garden outside.
I felt like I was being interrogated inside so I needed to escape.
Iâm contented to be where I stand right now in my life.
Luan, Luke and I are happy in our set up.
But then again, isnât it time for a little change?
Luke needs to get used to having his own room since he wonât be a baby all his life.
And me?
Well, I donât know.
I canât exactly keep sleeping in a separate room from Luan, right?
And weâre bound to mark each other again soon, right?
Right?
âHeyâ
I turned to look and saw Luan as he wrapped his arms around my waist and placed his head on my shoulder giving me a back hug.
âHi. Good morningâ I greeted him.
âGood morningâ he said and gave me a k**s on the neck.
It sent shivers all over my body.
I gulped.
âWhat are you doing out here?â he asked.
âOh nothing. Just getting some airâ I lied.
I escaped from my friends thatâs why.
Luan turned me around to face him.
âYouâre bothered about somethingâ he said looking at me straight in the eye.
I gulped.
âWhatâs on your mind?â he asked carefully.
I bit my lower l*p.
Should I say it?
Should I tell him?
Maybe I should.
But itâs kind of embarrassing.
âWhat is it? Tell meâ he asked softly.
I sighed.
I took a deep breath.
âWhy donât we mark each other?â I asked as quickly as I can.
Then, I buried my face on Luan chest.
Luan chuckled while the embarrassment ate me up inside.
Luan held my face and made me look at him.
I just know that I was as res as a tomato.
âIâd love to but do you want to?â he asked carefully.
âThe only reason Iâm holding back is because Iâm trying to give you as much time as you want. Personally, Iâd want to claim you as soon as possibleâ he said.
I bit my lower l*p as I blushed.
âDo you want to?â he asked again.
I gulped.
âWhat if I do?â I said.
Luan smiled.
âIâd be happy to oblige, your highnessâ he teased.
I chuckled as I placed my head on his chest in embarrassment.
âLuan?â I said.
âYes, love?â he replied.
I lifted my head up as I looked at him.
âDo you want another child?â I suddenly asked.
Luan looked at me stunned.
âDo you?â he asked back.
I pursed my lips.
âI mean, it doesnât sound like a bad idea. Luke is already 3 so having another child is fine, I thinkâ I said blushing.
Luan smiled and leaned in.
âIâd love toâ he whispered and trailed k****s my neck.
I bit my lower l*p as I held onto his shoulder tightly.
âNot in the garden, you guysâ
We turned to look and saw Rainer giving us a look of disbelief while he held Luke in his arms.
My face flushed red.
Oh dear ghad.
