Chapter 68
“Savvy, what do you mean?” Kai’s face went pale, and the princess’s smile dropped. She expected him to be over the moon about it, or at least stunned, but she could feel waves of tension radiating from him now and did not know what to do.
“Kai Fionnlagh, this is not the reaction I was counting on,” she informed him with her brows knitted together.
“Savvy,” he pulled her into his embrace and cupped her chin gently. Nevertheless, she could tell he was nervous. “Are you-”
“I don’t know yet, if I am honest,” she admitted, blushing softly. “I think it’s possible.”
Savannah felt his grip on her stiffen and instantly knew that something was wrong. She distanced herself from him, the mood sour all of a sudden. Was the possibility of the two of them having children together so scary for him? Weren’t they talking about expanding their family right after they got married before all the drama? Did he change his mind? A panic attack started without warning, affecting every single cell of her body. Why was it going all wrong?
“If you don’t want the child-” She fiddled with the sheet, lowering her eyes, and he growled, getting her back into his arms and onto his lap.
“Savvy, I want it more than anything. You, me and an army of our little pups. I want it all,” the King assured her. “There is one problem, though. I… Sawy, I think I f*cked up.”
Now he was the one who couldn’t look her in the eye, and she started to get worried.
“What is it?” She brushed his cheek with her palm, tilting his head towards her. Surely, it couldn’t have been that bad.
“I’ve been blessed by a god, Savannah,” Kai confessed, and she breathed out in relief. She kind of figured this one out already.
“It seems to be a common theme lately,” she chuckled. “I only heard about it in legends, and now I know three people who have had the honour.”
“Three?” He shot her a puzzled look.
“You, Ria and… Bjorn,” she admitted, letting out an exasperated sigh. “There is this deity that helps him- You know, never mind. This night is ours, and I want to only speak about us.”
“You see, Sav, there is a difference between me and the others,” Kai decided to be honest with his mate. He didn’t want to start their new life together with lies or hiding essential information. Their family wouldn’t be like that, and his Luna deserved to know everything. She deserved all the best things in life; especially choosing her own destiny. Unfortunately, that was one thing he partially deprived her of now.
“What do you mean?” Savannah was ready to listen to whatever it was he had to share with her. She could see how not easy it was for him and gently laced their fingers together to give him the reassurance he needed.
“The deity who blessed me was Fenrir,” Kai revealed, but this was something she already suspected.
“Well, it was to be expected,” Savvy asserted with her lips curled into a gentle smile. “He is the patron of the North, after all.”
“You see, the problem is, I don’t think he wanted to bless me,” the King sighed, avoiding her gaze.
“Then how?” Now Savannah was lost. Surely, a god had to know what he was doing. And why wouldn’t Fenrir want to save the lycan who served him his whole life?
“He is… not what we imagine him to be. He looked… like he didn’t care. Long messy hair, a beard and a few scars on his face,” Kai closed his eyes, trying to remember any details. “He didn’t come to help me. It was an accident.”
“An accident?” The princess gasped. Here she thought that Kai had a similar experience to Riannon’s, but apparently, that couldn’t be further away from the truth. “Is that even possible?”
