"Nooo... I don't want to gooo..." my wife whined.

Today was my 36th birthday, and Rhea had suggested to go partying in a club. We ended up going, but what she didn't mention was the fact that she couldn't handle her alcohol very well.

After 20 cups of Vodka, she had enough.

However, she kept on persisting that she could drink more. I, on the other hand, wasn't having it. I ended up tossing her over my shoulder as she blurted out some curses at me, even the word, 'pie'.

Who knew pie was such a bad word?

She pounded her fists against my back, demanding me to let her down.

I spanked her ass once to keep her quiet, making her utter a yelp. Rhea fell limp, muttering curses. She was finally being obedient, as I placed down the paid check to the waiter.

The whole restaurant was staring at us, some gossiping among themselves. I didn't pay a single mind to them, walking towards the car to go home with a dangling Rhea on my shoulders.

This is going to be a long ride...

As I paced myself up the stairs, Rhea, who was still over my shoulder started crying. It alerted me, automatically causing me to rush into our bedroom and set her down.

I brushed her hair out of her face, tilting her chin up to look at me.

"Baby, what's wrong? Are you hurt?" I asked.

She shook her head, wiping her eyes before she blurted out, "Why did you date Macy?"

My eyes widened, lips falling into a thin line. "Rhea... Macy has been dead for ages. Why are you bringing it up now?" I asked, sitting beside her.

Rhea played with her nails, "I'm just... insecure. I know it's rare for me to be, but everyone has their insecurities. Sometimes, I question what I did to deserve you, or if I'm good enough. Or if you actually love me. Just tell me why you dated her, so I can be at ease."

I couldn't help but laugh at her confession, my stomach hurting from it.

She was too adorable.

I cupped her face, leaning into her as my forehead pressed against hers.

"I dated Macy for 25 minutes. That wouldn't even count as a relationship. She confessed to me, and I was very new to the whole dating thing, so I just agreed. When she tried to kiss me in the next few minutes or persuade me to do something else, I had just about had it with her. I ended things with her, but she apologized afterwards," I told, frowning slightly before adding on, "Don't be insecure, Rhea. You're my Luna, my queen, and the mother of my children. I chose you, and not anybody else. I love you, Rhea. Don't forget that. You're beautiful, beyond beautiful."

Rhea looked stunned for a few minutes, getting sober.

Smirking naughtily against her, I whisper, "Should I prove to you how much you mean to me? How much I love you and how worthy you are for me?"

Rhea starts to gain a tint of pink on her cheeks, as she slowly nodded.

I chuckle, pushing her down onto our bed, linking our hands together.

Flashing my fangs, I rasp out, "Be prepared then. I'll show you how dear you are to me, so much that you won't be able to walk tomorrow," I paused, adding, "And to the point where the whole world knows that you're mine."

Rhea shivered at my words, wrapping her arms around my neck.

I nipped my mark on her, causing her to moan lowly.

And this was only the beginning...

Rhea wobbled downstairs, as I laughed behind her. She scowled at me, just as our son came out of the living room with a smirk.

"Hey Mom, Dad. Did you two have fun last night?" Hades, our 14 year old cockily said, putting his medical book down. Theo, my therapist and friend, popped out with him with a cheeky smile as well.

"See, I told you that you would learn these things with Rhea. Isn't it fun?" Theo barked out laughing.

Rhea flushed red, and was about to make an excuse when our other 5 children, tumbled through the living room.

My three eldest girls, Hesita, Demeter, and Hera giggles among each other. Of course, they've reached their young adults age but came to visit. Poseidon and Zeus, my other two sons besides Hades, were the youngest. Zeus and Poseidon eagerly jumped into our arms with a fit of giggles before we let them down.

Zeus eyes were innocent, as my son claimed, "Daddy, there's an animal upstairs!"

I took a sideways peek at Rhea, as we both said, "Oh?"

My other son, Poseidon nodded frantically, jumping up and down, "You and mommy need to be careful! There was a lot of banging on the wall this last night! I think the animals are attacking because they were also making a lot of noise!"

Me and Rhea's eyes widened at what they were referencing at, our mouths gaped open.

Hades, however, was already laughing with Theo. The rest of my children were cracking up with how innocent Zeus and Poseidon were. "Wow, is that what you guys heard? What did it sound like?" he asked, looking mischievous. Theo, being himself, rolled his eyes and excused himself since he needed to spend some 'quality time' with his mate.

Zeus bit his lip, his eyes blinking softly, "It sounded like a monster was dying! Like this, 'Uuughh!'

"Or like this, 'aaaah!'" my Poseidon added.

Rhea looked mortified, trying to explain to her young children that a animal was sick upstairs and it's better now, so it wouldn't be making anymore noise.

I wouldn't be sure about that, because I'm still not finished showing her how much I love her.

I thought with a smirk.

Coming over to where my family gathered, I wrap my arms around all of them, causing them squeal and burst out in laughter.

This was my life now, and I wouldn't change it for the world.
