Chapter 125
Austin POV
I’m fucking elated right now. Rebel is well enough to go home and we are bringing our pups home too. Well, they are here, just not here. Fuck. Two pups. Twins.
My incredible mate, whom I love more than I ever thought I would, just gave me two more reasons to love her harder, longer and with even more ferocity than I ever thought possible. I know there are threats still looming. I know Cullen is still out there and Harris will be here by the end of the week, but right now, I want to enjoy this moment. My mate has given me a family. Our family.
I am bursting with joy, excitement, happiness, and all the good emotions that one can experience at one time. I know that Rebel is feeling more than that. She is nervous. She is strong though, and she has never had an issue facing things that make her uneasy. I will be right by her side too.
I can’t wait to tell everyone. I can’t wait to see everyone’s faces or see my mate blush. I always love when she blushes. I’m desperate to be inside her again, but I will wait. She still needs to recover, but I want to celebrate with her in private.
I gently put her in the car and drive us back to the pack house. When we get there, I ask Reid if he can relieve my warriors with his in about an hour. I just need to thirty minutes. I want to make the announcement with Rebel. I know she wants to tell everyone too.
“Of course Austin. I’m sure there is an announcement to be made.” Reid says smiling.
“There sure is. By the way, did Dominic find Ceraline?” I ask.
“Yes. He managed to get her to stay in the hut at the borders edge.” He answers.
“That’s great to hear. I’m going to take Rebel in now.” I say, and he gives Rebel a kiss on the forehead and goes
to talk to his warriors.
“Ceraline?” Rebel asked.
“Yes, darling. She is the reason I found you in the cave. She saw the light that appeared in the cave and investigated what was going on when she saw you were there. She came to the border and led me to you. Without her, I wouldn’t have made it to you in time.” I say, “She said it was her way of making amends and redeeming herself and you know what happened?” I asked her.
“What happened?”
“The Moon Goddess apparently saw her worthy of redemption as well. When I got you to the car that was waiting at the bottom of the pass, Ceraline found her second chance mate.”
“Really? That’s wonderful, Austin. She was showing sincerity and honestly making amends and the Moon Goddess blessed her.”
“That’s right, my love. One of the Rising Moon warriors is her second chance mate. His name is Dominic.” I finish as I continue walking up to our room.
When we finally get there, I close the door and make our way to the bathroom. “The doctor said not to submerge your injury in water, so a shower it is.”

“Okay, Alpha daddy.” She smirks.
I gently press my lips to hers and deepen it, growling approvingly as I hear her moan. When I pull away, I see her eyes are dark with desire. “Rebel, no. You are not recovered yet my little minx.”
I see her pout. She’s adorable when she pouts. All I can do is chuckle. I turn on the water and make sure the temperature is good before helping Rebel strip down.
My eyes darkens as I see all the injuries on her body. She gently touches my face, “Hey, I will heal in no time, Austin. Don’t let this ruin our happiness.” She says.
“I don’t ever want to experience that kind of fear again, darling.” I tell her. “I was going crazy when you were taken. I went feral when I saw you in that cave under Kaden. All I could think of was that I couldn’t lose you. I love you so fucking much, Rebel.”
“I love you, Austin. I told you, I’m yours. These pups,” she said with her hand on her belly, “they are yours. Every pup I will ever have will be yours. There will never be anyone I love as fiercely as I love you. I will always make my way back to you, no matter what.”
I continue looking down at her stomach. I put my hand on her belly. “Our pups.” I kneel down and kiss both sides of her navel. One for each pup. They aren’t even here yet and we only just found out about both of them and I love them already.
I rise and strip out of my clothes and carry my mate into the shower. I sit her on the bench of the shower and wash her hair for her. I chuckle when I hear her groan at me while massaging the shampoo in her hair. “Feel good.”
“Every time you touch me it feels good, Austin.”
