Jayden and I lay in bed for a couple more hours before he is finally called away to sort out the 'attack'. I know they have to do interviews and searches the grounds. Plus I should prepare for when my family arrives.

I get up when he leaves and change into a pair of leggings and one of Jayden's white shirts. I breathe in his scent and smile.

I can't believe what's happened today. Started off with me telling Jayden I was ready to fully mate to me ending up in the infirmary.

With one final check in the mirror, i walk down the many stairs towards the pack kitchens. I peep my head around the doorway first and gasp internally.

By looking at this room, you would never of realised that it was covered in glass, rocks and blood. It's completely spotless.

I walk in still gobsmacked when a woman comes up to me with a smile. Her hair is pink and up in a tight bun on her head.

"Afternoon Luna, how may I help you?" She says with a bow, Im glad I was use to bowing otherwise it would get very annoying. Although I must I do hate it.

"Oh please call me Melody. I was just looking around, sorry." I almost mumble from my state of shock. This pack does not mess around.

"The cooks and I are about to start dinner for your family Lu-Melody. Willow, Courtney and Lucy are in the upstairs living room." She says, I thank her and leave to find the others.

Courtney is the Delta Female and mates with the Delta Mason. Lucy is the Gamma Female and she is mated to Blaine, the Gamma. I have only met them all once before.

I completely forgot that my family were finally coming down to see me. It's been about 2 weeks since I have seen them. Yes I talk to them almost everyday, but that's not the same.

I find myself upstairs pretty quickly and I hear the girls before I see them. I go to the living room space and see the three girls.

They turn to me and smirk at me.

"Melody hey!" Courtney greets standing up and pulling me over to the couch. I fall back onto the comfy cushioned couch in between Courtney and Willow.

"We were just talking about babies." Willow explains putting her hand on her almost showing belly. I smile at her and nod for them to continue.

I've never really thought about kids much considering I grew up not believing that I had a mate. Now I'm thinking about it; I do want kids. Jayden would be a great father.

I look over to see Lucy holding a young child who looks the spitting image of her, in boy form that is. The kid is fast asleep.

"Right so Melody just to catch you up, Lucy has a 3 year old called Jenny and a 1 year old called Nicky. Courtney hasn't wanted to start a family yet and you already know I'm pregnant." Willow explains pointing around the room as she does.

"Where is Jenny, if you don't mind me asking?" I ask Lucy who smiles and shakes her head quickly.

"Of course not, you are the Luna Queen you know. You can ask us anything and we must answer." She says with a laugh.

"Oh. But please don't think of me as a Luna Queen, you guys are my friends and you're my Beta, Delta and Gamma so we are all together. Call me Melody." I say with a confident nod.

Wow. I'm proud of myself for getting that out there because I've never been one for confrontation or public speaking. Yet I suppose I'll have to get use to that once I'm mated and crowned.

Crumbs!

"Where were we?" Lucy's question pulls me from my thoughts and I quickly listen in.

"I asked what Blaine and Asher were like when you told them you were pregnant." Courtney says looking between the two women.

Willow looks to Lucy and smirks.

"Lets just say, I've never seen Asher so happy then when I told him I was pregnant. He was jumping up and down and kissing my belly. It was weird but sort of cute too." Willow laughs "He can not wait to be a daddy."

"Blaine was almost the same, but for me he is younger than me so I was 19 and he was 17. He found it difficult to come terms with it at first but as soon as he saw Jenny's little face he fell. Then for Nicky he was much more excited!"

"How about you Melody? Have you thought about kids?" Lucy adds and all the girls turn to me.

"Well Jayden and I haven't taken that step yet. We haven't talked about it. But I suppose one day I'll have to have a heir." I say and my heart sinks.

I don't even have a choice whether I have a baby or not. I'm going to have too to keep the bloodline going and the crown passed down. This Queen stuff is way more than I expected.

"I have to go." I say, I can feel my chest tightening and I feel like my lungs are burning. My vision is blurring so as I get up I stumble over something and fall to the floor.

"Melody!" I hear the girls calling me but nothing registers in my brain. My mind is swirling with duties that I have and how my life is going to revolve around the crown.

"Baby." I hear someone whisper in my ear. Sparks fly around my skin as his arms wrap around me, I feel him pick me up but I close my eyes.

"Focus on breathing, in and out okay? Baby please. Just breathe." Jayden voice is calm and soothing. I instantly find myself calming down.

I breathe in and out slowly a few times before I open my eyes. Jayden's face is the first thing in sight and I realise my head lying on his lap.

"I'm okay now, thanks Jay." I say breathing deeply and he grabs my hand.

"What happened Melody?" He asks rubbing his thumb in smoothing circles along my hand. I sit up slowly and move so I sit next to him.

"We were just talking and I panicked about it."

"What were you talking about love, please tell me so I can help." He says kissing my forehead.

"Babies. I panicked because I realise how much of our lives are going to be written out for us. I have no choice on whether I have a baby or not, I will be forced to give you an heir." I say sadly looking down at my hands.

Jayden uses his thumb to lift my chin up to look at him, his blue eyes that are full of electricity are starring straight and me as he speaks.

"Melody, listen to me. Nobody is going to force us to do anything, I've told you before and I'll tell you again; this is us, you and me. Not them. We will have a baby when we are ready to and if you don't want one I will never force you. I am not going to lie to you Melody; it's not going to be easy being King and Queen. We will have duties to perform but nobody will hurt you or force you into anything; otherwise they'll have to deal with me." He says with a smirk, he flexes his muscles and I literally feel myself melt inside.

I can't believe the girl who grew up believing she was mate-less found the hottest kindest bravest.

"Okay, as long as your by my side Jayden. Also I think I do want kids; as long as their yours." I laugh and Jayden pulls me closer.

"They better be mine Melody." Jayden kisses my lips softly and I smile into the kiss. I wrap my arms around his neck and deepen the kiss but before we get too heated he pulls away.

"Melody, there is something I have to tell you but don't be upset okay." He says and I raise my eyebrow at him "My parents have shut down the borders after the attack on the future Queen" he gestures to me "which means your family won't be able to come down."

"Oh right." I say nodding and looking down at the floor, if I'm honest I hadn't thought about much today. I'll ring them later and speak to them so it's not too bad.

"Hey I have something to show you. Jus follow me and don't say anything." He says and pulls me up, it's only then I realise that we are in his office.

I follow him out the office door and we rush through the maze of corridors of the castle. I wave at all the people we pass and they all bow to us.

I grab Jayden's hand as he starts to speed up and become to fast for me. He looks back and grins at me before whisking me up into his arms.

His pace is faster than mine as we exit the castle and rush through the open grounds then into the trees.

I watch the green trees become a blue as Jayden runs through the forest. I shiver at the cold chill and find myself leaning into Jayden's warm chest.

Jayden comes to a sudden halt and I almost fall out of his arms but, thanks to werewolf reactions, he caught me safely. He slowly puts me on my feet and I look up.

He just smiles and points behind me. I give him a questioning look before spinning around to see nothing except a rope ladder hanging from a tree.

I gasp and look up to see a giant gorgeous tree house above us in the tree line. The tree's branches and leaves are covering most of the house but I can see the beautiful wooden design and a hammock on the balcony.

I turn around and run into Jayden's arms. I hold him tightly and he wraps his arms around me too, accepting my silent thanks.

"Shall we go see it?" He asks placing a kiss on my nose before heading towards the ladder with my hand in his. "Ladies first."

"Why thank you kind sir, anyone would believe you are a prince." I say in a posh tone as I mount the wobbly ladder and start to climb.

"And anyone would believe you are a princess by the beauty you behold." Jayden's comes back at me with a posh British accent.

I laugh and shake my head. My mate is crazy. I finally make it to the top and have to push open a hatch door to get inside.

I pull myself up and into my feet but as soon as I see the treehouse up close I almost fall back. I hear Jayden close the hatch door and pull up the ladder behind me but I'm focused on this little treehouse.

From here I can see inside the glass door, I can see a large double bed with beautiful wooden work all around it. The sheets are a gorgeous forest green.

I can also see a wardrobe in the corner and a door to what must be a bathroom. The outside holds a single balcony that stretches around the entire square house.

On my right is a large hammock that sways gently in the afternoon breeze. To my left is a small table with wooden chairs around it.

"I use to spend most of my days in here," Jayden explains holding the door open "It's amazing. It's somewhere where I can be away from my duties and royalty and the pack. It's somewhere away from the internet so I can just be myself and relax. I thought it would be the perfect place for us to mate. It's the first place I wanted to take my mate whenever I met her, but when you arrived there were so many ... complications."

I walk over to him and put my hand on his cheek. He gives me a sweet but sad smile, his face sweeps around the room before landing back on mine.

"Obviously we don't have to mate now but I thought it was the perfect time to show you." He says pulling me inside and shutting the door. "We can stay the night if you want; it's so much fun in here in the mornings. No noise but natural noises."

I watch him sit on the edge of the bed and sigh happily as his eyes wander the gorgeous room. I stand in front of him and just smile.

Jayden always takes so much pride in things he does or has. The grin on his face that he gets when he is proud is one of the best jobs I've ever seen.

I reach out and curl a piece of his hair around my finger and his eyes instantly beam over at me. He reaches his hand out and pulls me closer.

"Jayden," he hums in reply "I love it so much. It's amazing. I'm so sorry for all the...complications but no more of them. I plan to stay forever. I want you Jayden. I want to marry you. I want to have babies with you. I want to be your Queen. I want to rule with you by my side. I love you."

His face morphs into one of complete surprise as I say my true feelings aloud. It only takes a few seconds before he throws me in the bed and lies above me.

"I love you Melody." He says kissing me "I can't wait to start my life with you."

I pull his lips back into mine and the kiss soon gets heated. I put my legs around his waist making us impossibly close and I hear his growl of approval.

His lips press hard against mine and I savour every moment. Our battle of dominance is easy over as he wins before he pulls away but only to place a open mouth kiss on my mark.

A pleasurable moan rips out of me and in that second I decide. I want to mate with him now. Right now I'm not in heat, I'm not being pressured by his family. It's just us. This is how I want it.

"Jayden." I whisper and he pulls away then, with lustful eyes, looks at me.

"Sorry I'll stop." He breathe out heavily, trying to calm himself. I pull his face closer by my hand on the back of his head.

"Don't stop Jay." I whisper and he looks at me with conflicted eyes.

"Don't do it for my sake if anyone else's Melody, we'll do it when you are ready." He says stroking my cheek.

"I am ready Jay. I want to start our life." I say pulling his lips back to mine.

~~~

That night one soul become two loving souls combined. They become stronger in every way. Their love becomes impossibly stronger.

Nothing will get in their way.
