The Lycan King's Long Lost Princess
The Lycan King’s Long Lost Princess Chapter 87

Hunters POV

I was completely stunned. Two? Two of them? How did we not know?

It’s been a few hours since I got back. We are staying on the far end of the castle away from the damaged front until it’s repaired. I already have men moving the concrete and clearing the rest out.

“Wait, shouldn’t your Goddess side be awake now?” I asked. I held my daughter in my arms sitting next to Genevieve who was holding our son in bed.

“I guess? I feel worn out. Maybe it takes a bit. Birthing two babies is exhausting. I’m fully healed, I don’t hurt, but my energy is low.” She said. The doctor had already come and checked the babies and Gen. They are all perfectly fine.

He was surprised when he saw two babies instead of one. His only explanation being that she hid behind her brother the whole time. I still can’t even believe it.

“I know love. You did amazingly. I’m so proud.” I say wholeheartedly. I truly have the strongest mate.

“Can I shower?” She asks. She still has b***d and dried fluid on her.

“You don’t need to ask. Hand him here. Mind link if you need anything.” I say. She smiles and places him in my other arm and gets up.

I never knew babies could smell so good. And they haven’t even been washed yet. The doctor said to wait a few hours and then sponge bathe them. He has nurses coming in hourly to check on the babies and Gen.

Gen disappears into the bathroom and I snuggle closer to my babies and take in their amazing scents. We really need to decide on names!

After a bit of sitting here admiring the two tiny babies in my arms. Genevieve walks out and smiles at us. These beautiful babies. How are they so perfect? They’re tribrids unless one of them has the gift of the gods. Nonetheless, they’re magnificent. Genevieve gets dressed and walks to us.

“I can feel him here you know?” Gen says.

“Who?” I ask slightly confused.

“Jaden.” She says. She grabs our daughter and lays her in one of the bassinets. I stand up and place our son in the bassinet next to his sister.

“In the dungeon, yes. And so is Lanie’s former master.” I said. She c*cked an eyebrow at me but nodded.

“They won’t get out. Once Mathew is awake and healed I’ve given him full control of the vampire’s fate. Soon, you’re going to have to-“

“I know, Hunter.” She cut me off. I could feel anxiety and confusion in the bond.

“Why does it have to be me?” She asks. She sat down on the bed and pulled her knees to her chest. I walked to her and lifted her head, looking her in her big hazel eyes.

“I don’t know the answer, my love. But I know you will do what’s necessary to give our beautiful children the best life.” I say and she nods slowly.

“You were right. As soon as I saw them, everything changed. I can’t let them go without a mother. I would’ve done anything to still have mine.” She said. A tear rolled down her cheek and I pushed it away with my thumb.

“No. I shouldn’t have pushed you like that ever. I was scared to lose you, but I’m not so much anymore. I know you’ll do what it takes.” I say. I lean down and k**s her soft lips.

“So, after Jaden what then? You do realize who my vampire ancestor is, right? I have to drink his b***d then kill him.” She said.

“Ahh, the vampire king. I didn’t realize that April was his daughter. He has many of them.” I said. I sat down next to her and she leaned against my shoulders. We watched as our newborns sleep soundly, making little smacking noises with their tongues here and there.

“Ophelia says April was the only one between the king and his mate.” She says.

“Oh yeah, I forget his mate was half Lycan half witch. What an abomination.” I said. I regretted it as soon as I said it too.

“Does that make me and your children abominations?” She snapped. Standing up and walking to our son who’s started stirring. She picks him up and rocks him.

“No. That’s not what I meant. Okay, kind of, yes. He’s a vampire. But he’s the worst kind. He’s killed thousands of humans and wolves. I never understood how the moon goddess could give him a mate. A Lycan at that.” I say. She nods her head.

“You and our children are not abominations. You guys are my entire world. So pure and right. You’re nothing like them.” I said. She gives a small smile.

Genevieve br*astfeeds our son while our daughter continues to sleep and I sit there just admiring them. I’ve never felt so complete in my life.

“What do you want to name them?” I asked.

“Sebastian Arthur Augustine. Your father’s first name, my dad’s middle name. And for her..”

“April Colette Augustine. Your mother’s first name, my mother’s middle name.” I say and she smiles brightly and nods.

“Perfect.” She says. Not long after that April started crying and Sebastian was dead asleep. She handed me Sebastian and began feeding April.

“B**bs are so cool,” Marcus says and I laugh.

“They truly are,” I say.

“I mean who would’ve thought you could feed a baby with b**bs? I have questions!” Marcus says and I roll my eyes.

“Let her rest. You can question her about her br*asts later.” I say and he huffs but retreats to the back of my mind.

Before they could knock Genevieve had already shot up, placed April down, and opened the door revealing an excited Maria.

“Thank you for inviting me to come see, my queen,” Maria says and bows her head. Gen lets her in and smiles.

“Oh, Maria you are going to just melt in your shoes.” Genevieve purrs as she walks to Sebastian and picks him up.

“Why are there two bassinets?” Maria asked and I smiled from ear to ear.

“The goddess surprised us,” I say. She takes a step closer to Genevieve and the bassinets and just like Gen said, Maria melted right in her shoes.

“Goddess! Twins? How wonderful!” Maria gushes. Gen hands Maria our wrapped up Sebastian and she sits in a chair.

“They’re beautiful my king, my queen. I can’t believe it. Two heirs.” She says in disbelief.

She rocks him in her arms and hums a familiar tune. I think it’s the one she would hum to her boy when she got him. Maria is the best woman. She cares for the orphans and treats them like her own.

“You have no idea how worried I was when the palace went on lockdown. I fear for our queen and heirs. I’ve never been so relieved to see you all doing so well.” She says.

“If it’s anything close to how relieved as I was when I heard of everyone’s safety I understand. There was so much going on and everything happened so fast. I’m glad it’s over.” Gen replies.

Maria stayed for a while holding both of our babies and talking with Gen. As it was getting closer to dinner Maria made her leave. She told us dinner will be handled outside today, especially since the dining room is a little trashed.

“Ugh, I’m ravenous! I could eat a horde of forsaken.” I say. My stomach growls and Genevieve laughs as we make our way outside. Her stomach joins mine as we sit down at the table outside and wait for our food.

Maria walks out with a few other servants and Lenard and they all start placing plates in front of everyone.

“Yes! I was craving shrimp!” Gen claps her hands excitedly and goes to dig in when Sebastian begins crying. She tried to pick him up before he woke April but it was too late.

I grabbed April and smiled at Gen who’s rocking Sebastian.

“So much for that shrimp, huh?” William laughs.
