The Bastard Princess

77.

-HER-

The first thing that I noticed the next morning was his seed dripping off my pussy. I was surprised at the amount. It was enough to impregnate me. Suddenly, the gravity of the situation came crashing down on me.

What if I became pregnant after this? I felt a bubble of panic rise inside me while I looked at him. He was sleeping beside me, peacefully, with his arm around me and his legs tangled with mine. Just as I tried to move slightly, his hold around me tightened on its own.

He soon stirred awake while I continued with my efforts to get free from his hold.

"What's the matter with you, my pharaoh?" He asked groggily before he tried to kiss me. I only allowed him a peck before asking him, "Will you go to work today?"

At this, he looked at me pensively before the tip of his lips curled up slightly and he answered heatedly, "I'll stay if you want me to stay,"

I didn't think I needed him to stay because he needed to work in order to get money for us and I was sore from yesterday's lovemaking. I needed a break.

"Naw, I think you should go to work today," I told him and he seemed a bit disappointed but the way his eyes gleamed, I knew he wasn't going to leave me alone so easily. Only the thought made me shiver.

Although before he could pull me into another kiss, I stopped him and asked, "Ares..." I breathed, "Er... what if something happens after this?"

He cocked an eyebrow at my question before asking, "What will happen after this?" I couldn't help but blush madly before I finally asked him straightforwardly, "What if I conceive?"

"That would be wonderful," He told me possessively but I shook my head at him as I felt a wave of uncertainty and anxiety wash over me. We have just come together and it wouldn't be right to start a family so early... especially in this situation.

His eyebrows came together at my response before I explained to him, "Ares, we are in exile and it is not safe and... I don't want to be a mother yet," I flushed even more as I told him whilst peering at him coyly. I could only hope that he would understand where I was coming from, especially about not wanting to be a mother so quickly.

The folds between his eyebrows evened out before he nodded in understanding, "Yeah, you're right... it wouldn't be easy to have pups now," I shivered at the mention of pups. He definitely seemed to want a lot of them. I shouldn't have been surprised at his words because I knew that the wolves had a lot of babies or as he had said- pups.

Although, deep down I was very much happy that finally, someone wanted to have a family with me and that someone was no other than the wolf prince.

"But would that mean that we wouldn't make love often?" He groaned.

"I think so," I told him but he didn't seem very pleased.

We talked some more before it was finally his time to leave for work but he snatched me away greedily to kiss me before leaving. We ended up having an intense and hot make-out session. We were breathing hard and needy after we pulled back from that kiss. Our lips were swollen and the tension in the air was high but we ended up having a bath together.

I decided to stay home today because I wanted to rest and didn't feel like working much. After he left for work, I mostly stayed at home and either rested or cooked something for the night. I felt someone pass outside the house. Ares had already told me about the neighbouring werewolf pack spying on us so I didn't mind checking on them and they were soon gone without bothering me.

Ares was back before the sunset. He had brought me more stuff from the market. After getting fresh, he came inside the house and continued with his ritual of distracting me while I tried to prepare dinner. After dinner, we went to bed together and made love despite the talk we had in the morning.

I decided to go to the temple the next day. Ares walked me to the temple before kissing me goodbye for the day. Everything at the temple seemed to have gone back to normal after the end of the festival. I wanted to participate in the festival so badly but couldn't because of Ares this year.

I ended up asking the priestesses about the festival instead.

"Why? Weren't you there that day?" Asked one of the young priestesses with confusion when I asked her how was the festival. At this, I grew a bit hesitant and told her, "No, I left before it could start,"

"Why?" She asked me with the same bewilderment while I felt more blood rush to my cheeks.

"Er... I had some work," I tried to answer her.

"Goddess, what work could be so important than participating in Aphrodite's rituals?" She asked furiously. At this point, I was mentally cursing myself for even asking the priestess about the festival.

Fortunately, Theto happened to be in the temple today. She hissed at the young priestess to get at work before she finally approached me. I flushed even deeper at the way she looked at me. It was as if she already knew my deepest secrets.

"Come with me," She told me before she led me to back of the temple where mostly fruits were grown. She looked through some baskets to find some seeds. She took a handful of seeds that belonged to a berry tree before she muttered something under her breath.

"Here," She said as she handed me the seeds, "Plant them in your backyard. They should be enough for you," She said smugly. I didn't have any idea what she was talking about but I couldn't help but blush harder at her suggestive tone.

"Berry seeds?" I asked her in bewilderment. She smiled at me slyly before commenting, "If you don't want to have your stomach swollen soon then you can have those,"

"Pft, these are berry seeds. What could they do?" I joked.

"Alright then, give them back to m-"

"No, I'll keep them," I was quick to snatch my hand away. She laughed at me while I blushed the deepest red a person could before I got back to work. I did exactly she had told me to do and they seemed to work because we spent most of the winter enveloped in each other's warmth and making love without me conceiving.

The frequency in my heats decreased in the coming months and our bond deepened. Soon, summer was here, reminding us that we had spent a year in exile. Everything was going fine for both of us and we were okay spending the rest of the years like this but everything seemed too good to be true for us.

It constantly felt like the silence before a storm.
