5 Puppies For The Alpha
Chapter 87

Dante knew that pregnancy was a total problem, especially for pregnant wolf mates. The reason: from the second week onwards, the cravings began in the early hours of the morning. These cravings could be of various kinds. From going for a run, to biting her mate just because she needed to relieve her fangs. In the case of her husband and queen of her pack, Lukyan… things were a bit… different.

They naturally craved at most three things throughout their entire pregnancy. Maybe it was because he was an omega that the situation got out of control.

It all started after the first month, but so strongly that Dante was really going crazy. And that would be three cravings at most. Lukyan was already four months old and he had already lost count of how many he had gone through.

First, he would wake up in the middle of the night and start kissing his back, most of the time waking him up in the process. He didn’t complain at the time. The nightly caresses were delicious, however, he would leave him hanging as he would fall completely asleep after only a few k****s.

Then the licking began… all over his body. More than once she woke up with him tearing her clothes off and ending her mouth on his alpha’s member. At least that time she did let him o****m, but of course, it couldn’t be all gold. When he grabbed him to pleasure him, something Dante enjoyed, he couldn’t do it because… his wolf fell asleep again.

As a result, he was really frustrated. He was one of those wolves that liked to please his mate, and not just receive. Plus, he wouldn’t deny that he was doubly aroused by Lukyan’s m***s. That didn’t stop him from sneaking up on him in the middle of the day, snatching him, pulling him into any room, and finishing what he’d started in the night. Although they had to be more careful where they went after they were almost caught by Axel and Sacha, who thought they were playing hide and seek.

It had been… good times in the first few months. They had had a lot of fun, but that was as far as it went.

One day the omega woke up and his s*x drive had completely vanished, giving way to wanting to run at night. That’s when all the close family members had to rotate to accompany him. Dante did at first, but he was the alpha of his pack and they were in a difficult time. Too much work and sleepless nights took their toll on the fifth day, and he collapsed from exhaustion.

What touched him most was that Lukyan was at his side apologising over and over again for causing him trouble knowing he was up to his ears in work. Dante couldn’t bear to see her husband’s face and had hugged him all night knowing he was holding back his craving for the moment to let him sleep.

After that they made a list, and between their eldest sons, Dmitri, and even Falco they divided up the nights they would accompany him.

But this didn’t last long either. Less than a month.

After that, his craving for… cuddles began.

Lukyan was not exactly an expressive wolf, especially given his position. Yes, he was kind and caring, especially when it came to his children. He was also very attentive to anything to do with Dante.

He was also not very open to public displays of affection, perhaps because of the way he had been raised and had to behave for so many years, so he became unconsciously surly at times, especially when Dante wanted to start touching him here and there.

But in the evenings, he began to crave to be held, to be touched, to be comforted. Even the alpha was shocked when he woke up to replace him crying because he no longer wanted it and found it repulsive because his flat belly, flat, had nothing left.

That night it took a long, long time to convince him that it wasn’t like that. That he loved him too much, that he was beautiful, that he would be with him no matter what… until he finally fell asleep, almost dawn.

By the time he woke up, less than an hour later he was the same confident, upright wolf he knew, and not a trace of the crying wolf from earlier. It was making Dante’s brain fry. These brutal hormonal changes were driving him crazy.

Days later, it became more intense. It wasn’t just cuddling anymore and Dante ended up having s*x with his husband in the middle of the night, taking care not to hurt him. Quite a difficult task as he pushed him down, climbed on top of him and moved to penetrate him as deep as he could. He had to use all his willpower not to lose control, but no matter what he did, he always managed to get himself knotted up at the end of each section.

Because he did. His new craving wasn’t for s*x, but for being knotted by his wolf.

Luckily, after having Edgar check the state of her body and pregnancy, she was unharmed. The puppy inside him was strong and clinging to life. Dante found himself many times kissing the belly with a smile, convinced, that this time he could have his own puppy, because father… he already was, of four big puppies as Lukyan’s children were.

But, like all the cravings her husband had been given, this one too ended, giving way to a less strenuous one. A voracious appetite for specific foods.

-Lukyan, love, what do you want? -Dante rubbed his eyes as he saw him sitting on the bed staring into nothingness. And he knew he was hungry.

He looked up at him with a pout on his lips receiving a k**s from him, lovingly, on his cheek as he sat up.

-I want apples.

Dante kissed her temple and smiled at her.

-Wait here a moment,” and he walked out, stretching his body and covering his nakedness with a pair of trousers. He went down to the kitchen to replace four she-wolves preparing breakfast. It would be dawn soon.

-Alpha,” they greeted, “What do you need?

-Apples,” he searched the huge kitchen, yawning.

One of them approached with a basket containing at least ten.

-Are they for the queen?

Dante smiled, a little exhausted, running his hand through his hair.

-Yes, now she just wants to eat that.

The four she-wolves looked at each other and snorted softly.

-Alpha, hold on a little longer. It’s normal for us to get so sick during pregnancy. My husband told me I wouldn’t have any more puppies after that, and look, I have four.

Dante didn’t know what to say to that, so he just said thank you and walked back to his room hoping the apples would be enough to please his husband. When she walked in she found him hugging his pillow and smelling it.

She reached over and stroked his head in a gentle caress. He opened his eyes and instead of attending to the wolf he quickly grabbed the basket and began to devour apple by apple. Dante would like to join him until he was done and snuggle her against him, but he was too tired and sleep overcame him.

And so began a spate of cravings for different fruits. A different one every day. A chore that made Dante get up and search the kitchen in the middle of the night. He didn’t like the idea of him walking around the mansion alone with a pronounced belly.

Knowing the situation his alpha and queen were going through, Falco ordered a search for all kinds of fruits, preventing the omega from asking for any that weren’t in the pantry. In order not to travel every night, Dante carried a large basket that he left near the bed and where Lukyan ate once he woke up in the early hours of the morning.

Thanks to this he was able to sleep for two weeks without interruption.

Until…

-Dante… Dante.

The alpha felt his shoulder shaken and opened his eyes. She grabbed her husband’s hand and kissed his knuckles.

-What is it, my queen? -His voice was low against the pillow, “Would you like some more fruit?

A few seconds of silence.

-Lukyan? -The alpha raised his head, a little worried.

-I don’t want fruit,” he said.

-Huh? -Dante straightened up, knowing the time had come.

-I want to eat tomatoes.

And now… What were they doing with so much fruit?
