The Legacy of the Alpha King: Hiding his Secret Twins
Chapter 171 by Ebony Woods

Evelyn POV

I had woken up the next day feeling much more refreshed. Angel was asleep in his Moses basket next to the bed so I used the opportunity to have a shower. Before wanting to head downstairs in the hunt for food.

Turning the shower on, I feel the warm water cascade upon my body. Letting it wash away the remnants of child birth. Help to refresh my skin and hair.

As I wash my hair I feel a cold draft of air envelope me before hands wrap around my torso.

“You seem rested?” His husky voice nibbles at me ear.

“I feel amazing Reuben. I can start to feel my wolf’s strength returning. She’s been locked up for so long. As long as Angel is okay for a little while, I might take her out for a run later, it’s been so long for her. She needs it just as much as I do.” Actually she needs it more.

“As long as Nate can watch the children

“I’ll be fine on my own. I haven’t felt this good in months.” I really hadn’t. I felt like I had a spring in my step. My wolf needed to shift, for her own sanity as well as mine.

“Besides, I’d feel happier knowing you were holding Angel.” I continue, turning to help lather him up with body wash.

“You aren’t going on your own.” He disapproves and he’s right, I had just given birth.

“I’ll ask Nate to go with you.”

“That works.” I turn to smile at him. His eyes roaming my naked body.

“Three months Reuben…”

“To fall pregnant, not to start practicing. You’re the one lathering me up may I add.”

“You’re a sex beast…” I squeal as he grabs my ass and lifts me up, my legs wrapping around his waist.

“Yeah but I’m your sexy beast.” His lips crash into mine, all self control trying to evade me. However, a slight uncomfortable pain in my lower core informs me to take things a little slower.

“Give me two weeks before we start practicing again. Two weeks and I’m all yours, any way you’ll have me.”

“That is a deal, a deal you can’t break.”

Once I was dressed I head downstairs to replace Nate overseeing the kids in the garden.

“Morning.” I call out to them all, Rex and Elspeth both waving at me.

The mornings were starting to warm up again, the early spring season still leaving crystallised wet dew on the grass. My wolf couldn’t wait for her paws to feel the wild ground beneath her.

“You look…well.”

“You sound surprised.” I chuckle at Nate.

“I thought you’d be recovering still.”

“I am, but it’s the first time in six months my wolf is feeling energised again…I’m taking her for a run. Did you want to come?”

“Too late Evelyn, Reuben has already gotten to me through the mind-link. But yes, of course I will come with you.”

I wait until Reuben is downstairs with Angel in his arms so that he can keep a close eye on the twins before heading out.

I walk with Nate out towards the back fields in our human form…wanting to shift and leave my clothes nearby for later.

The smooth transition of shifting into my wolf form seemed to instantly relax me. Like I’d been closed off from her for far too long.

I let her take the lead, letting her follow her senses for whatever she might want. To hunt, to run…I don’t care.

It was just nice to have her fully back again. Her energy going into keeping Angel safe and keep him growing inside of me. Now it was her time again.

Once she had completed covered herself in mud, turning her sandy brown fur into matted-drenched-in- dirt dark brown…she now seems keen to shift.

I haven’t got the ability to mind-link Nate but his wolf seems to understand that my direction was changing to return to our clothes.

He hasn’t left my side once. It was pretty safe here, no one would come onto these lands and if they did, they would most likely be human.

We were miles away from other pack lands which made the issue of schooling slightly difficult to figure out. Something for me to worry about in the coming year.

Once we return to the clothes, I shift back into my skin form and get dressed. Nate keeping guard as he looks out in the distance.

I was caked in dry mud and in bird feathers. My wolf seemed to enjoy chasing after a group of pigeons, her wheezy laugh even making Nate’s wolf join in.

Once Nate has changed I take a seat on the slight hilly grass mount, looking back at the new home in the distance.
