Violette POV
âViktor.. I donât know.â I said as he pulled me towards the grey door.
âI shouldâve already brought you in here.â He said softly. He reached for the handle.. my heart was in my throat.
âItâs nothing bad.. itâs just very personal. Youâre my mate.. so I should share everything with you.â He said. He looked at me and pushed open the door. My heart sank in my chest at what I saw.
âViktor..â I said softly. It took him a lot of courage to bring me.. of all people in here.
âThese are just.. some of my siblingâs things. Pictures.. their favorite toys.. it was once my little siblingâs nursery.â He said softly. My eyes filled with tears when I saw two small urns sitting on a table in the corner.
âViktor.. I shouldnât be in here.â I whispered.
âWhy not? You didnât do it. Your father did. And I wonât punish you for it anymore. Besides, I was thinking I could move this stuff out and make it our pupâs nursery..â he said. I looked at him wide-eyed.
âI donât know about that.. this is.. their room,â I said softly. He cupped my face in his hands and wiped away my tears.
âI want to. Itâs the closest room to ours. It was my siblingâs nursery, I want it to be our pups as well.â He said. I pulled him to me and held him tight.
âIâm so sorry for what my Father did.â I cried.
âDonât be, my love.â He said.
âWhere will you put everything?â I asked. He sighed as he pulled away and looked at all of their trinkets.
âMy Fatherâs second office.â He said.
âWhy did he have two?â I giggled through my tears.
âSo he could hide from my Mother.â He chuckled.
âSo.. what do you think? Nursery or..â he asked.
âIf youâre truly okay with it,â I said softly.
âI wouldnât have brought it up if I wasnât serious about it. Besides, we should start preparing.. our pup will be here in a couple of months.â He said. I nodded in agreement.
âI donât even know where to start.â I sighed.
âLetâs start with a crib. We can work our way up from there.â He said.
âOkay..â
He wrapped his arms around me and held me tightly.
âDo you think a boy or a girl?â He asked.
âI donât know..â I said.
âI think girl. But I would be so happy no matter what.â He said. He pulled away and smiled.
âI love you.â He said.
âI love you too,â I replied.
âNow. With the announcement of the pup.. weâve already received a ton of things if youâd like to look.â He said.
âReally? We just announced the other day.â I said.
âA royal pup is a huge deal here.â He said.
âI would love to look,â I said softly. He grabbed my hand and pulled me out of the room.
âFirst though.. I have something for you.â He said. I furrowed my brows in confusion as he walked over to his desk and pulled something out.
âHere.. it may seem you lost this.â He said. He handed me the butterfly necklace that he got for me.
âOh, Viktor! I thought id lost it.. I couldnât find it after I..â he ran his thumb across my cheek and smiled sadly.
âI found it and Iâve kept it with me.â He said.
âWill you help me?â I asked. He took the necklace back and pulled my hair together and handed it to me.
âThere.â He said softly as he clasped it around my neck. I held the little blue butterfly tightly in my hand.
âThank you..â I said as I turned around.
âAlright.. are you ready?â He asked. He held out his hand and I grabbed it.
âYes, Iâm readyâ. I said with a smile. He pulled me out of our chambers and down the hall.
We walked across the castle until we came to the main hall, where there sat a huge pile of things sitting in the middle of the room on a table.
âOh, my goddess..â I gasped as I saw it.
âYeah.. as I said, royal pups are a huge deal here.â He chuckled. He walked me over to the table and pulled out a chair for me to sit on.
âThis will take forever..â I said.
âWhich is why Iâll be helping. I also called for Sylvia and a few other maids.. the ones that bathe you. Oh, and Beatrice.â He said. I giggled.
âThen we will surely get through it all within no time.â I smiled.
âNow where do we start?â He asked as he looked at everything.
âUmm..â I didnât know either. Thankfully the girls had joined us with excitement and began to go through everything and show us.
âOh.. Viktor.. isnât it beautiful?â I asked as I held out a little glass angel baby.
âIt is, my love.â He said. I handed it to him and he held it with a smile on his face.
âI cannot tell you how excited I am.â He said.
âI believe everyone is.â Beatrice giggled.
âLook at the little bonnet!â Sylvia said as she adored it.
âOh, thereâs a matching dress!â Beatrice said as she held up the dress.
âIt may seem everyone thinks it will be a girl as well. Thereâs far more girl stuff than boy stuff.â I giggled.
âThatâs okay, we have a lifetime to make many pups of each gender.â Viktor winked at me. My face turned bright red, Iâm sure of it.
