We leave Torry Battery for Inverness at sunset because we can see perfect at night and Nessie would never greet us in the day time. My queen explains that no one ever gets to see Nessie but we can try. I just grin. I have the best honeymoon secret ever.
I can't wait to get to Inverness but I try not to push the ladies too fast. I'm excited to share my other part with my mate. We hike for a while in the dark before the water comes into view. Raven and Harrison both get excited about showing us the area of the Loch Ness. They start talking about the legend of Nessie.
I ask a few questions about the history of Nessie. How they know it's a girl and a few others. Then I ask if they know what she looks like. Still not letting on about anything.
I pull my mate down to sit by the water on our gear. I undress down to my boxers and shift into my snake Walker. I have not shown them all my hybrid and several look startled. Harrison lets a low growl. Raven growls in return. I however dive into the water.
This shocks everyone. I dive down under to talk with my friend Nessie. "Nessie? It's Wilson Brown. Could you come talk to my wife and friends?", I mind link her. "Guests! Oh, yes Wilson I love guests. I very rarely see true friends.", she swims to the surface.
I swim up to the surface and join my friends. I pull a towel around my waist as I shift back. Nessie bows to my mate. Then she comes inland. She changes to her human. "I rarely get true guest or friends come by. I try to block most human noise but if you ever visit just howl. I will hear you. Wilson and Russell came here many times to train their snakes with me. I truly enjoyed the experience.", she says as she pulls on a dress Raven had in her bag. "Thank you for the dress dear", she adds.
Raven talks to Nessie first, "I never knew that you are a shifter. Is that why they can't find you?" Nessie tells her, yes and about finding her true love several hundred years ago. He grew old before he died. Raven asks, "Do you know how beautiful you are?" Nessie blushes, "It's the environment that keeps me young. I had children but they lived with their daddy. Now it's just me. Who knows maybe someday the Moon Goddess will send my mate."
Raven says, "Nessie, you have beautiful red hair, green eyes that are so clear, and flawless skin. Not to mention the curves in the right places. You are drop dead gorgeous lady, don't hide it so much. Get yourself out there to find your mate. Honey you got it all."
The girls talk for a while before we have to move on. The sun will bring out the humans and we want protection for us all. After I get dressed we say our goodbyes to Nessie and then we continue into Inverness. We visit the cathedral and then travel the North Coast 500. We see many villages and shops.
The girls are loving the shops that have all the local crafts and villagers who are friendly with so much joy to share. We send the bags back to Aberdeenshire before moving South to Glasgow. I just thought the girls had been shopping, we hit The Barras and see hundreds of locals in stalls selling their wares. Soaps, jellies, jewelry, clothes, candles, candy and baked goods are just the tip of the iceberg. The girls never stop. When my stomach growls very loud we finally get to eat. It's almost noon before we stop at a restaurant.
I pick a nice seafood place called Riverside. The lamb, venison and salmon are all delicious. We pick several different foods and share. I notice Raven is picking at her food. "Are you ok baby girl?", I whisper in her ear. She nods her head yes.
We visit the Barrowlands for some great music and dancing. I suggest we sleep and visit the museum in the morning. Everyone agrees so we find a good bed and breakfast inn called Trafford Bank House. They have nice bathtubs and I know that Raven will appreciate it.
I fill the tub with hot water and call my mate in. I slowly undress her and help her get into the tub to relax. I shower while she relaxes. I wash her head to toe before lifting her bridal style. I carry her to the bed and dry her body. Kneeling in front of her I lift her leg over my shoulder before diving into her. I lick, suck and finger her to oblivion before lifting her up and onto the bed. I enter her with a force that makes her grunt hard before moaning my name.
"Yes, my love, I'm here. What do you want baby? What do you need? Tell me Raven. Tell me my little love bird.", I urge her. "I.... I....I need you to put your hand here (She guides my hand to her neck). I...need...more Will. Please! Give me more!", she screams.
I do exactly what she asks of me. I hold her gently by her neck and her stomach. I treat her gently but she takes over, pounding back against me. Soon the slapping of our skin, the heavy breathing and the moans are so loud even the humans can hear it.
At breakfast she blushes at everyone. No one says anything at first, then Patti speaks up, "If Raven can walk lets all go to the museum." Raven turns 50 shades of red but socks Patti's arm. We all walk over to the Kelvingrove Museum. Hours later we go to lunch at the Café.
Harrison tells us that Edinburgh is 50 miles East of Glasgow and that we could make better time in our wolf form but Raven asks that we just take a car. I don't question her but rent a nice van. We arrive in Edinburgh within an hour with time to see the castle.
When we are ready to go back to Aberdeenshire I charter a flight back. I feel like Raven is so tired the last two days. We travel back to the pack castle where we find out the council has charged Jonathan with treason against werewolves. He has exposed us to the human world. The humans think he is a mass murderer. They have him in prison and they plan to execute him. It is out of our hands. He is a rouge now. He will go insane and kill himself.
"Raven? Tell me what you want love. Should we stay or go home?, I pull her close to me waiting for her answer. She looks at me very deeply catching her breath before telling me, "Let's go home." I hold her close until I feel her start to drift off. I carry her in my arms up to bed. I cover her and sit with her watching her rest.
Suddenly I get a faint sweet smell like strawberries in the rain. It's not raining and I haven't seen any strawberries since we left America. Where is that smell coming from I think to myself. I open the window but I can't smell it now. I shut the window again and sit beside my mate. She moves around and I smell it again. I call mom, "Mom? I need to know what it means when a shewolf changes her smell."
"Aahhhh, ooohhhh mmmmyyyy Ggggooooddddesssssss!!!!", she screams. I can hear my pa now asking her whats wrong and then the both start... "Mom please tell me what's wrong with Raven.... calmly. " I can hear her trying to calm down. "Wilson baby, she is pregnant.", mom giggles.
"Wait.... what did you just say?", I question. "Yes son you are going to be a daddy.", Pa says. We are going to be parents. I hope Raven is ready because it's happening. Wow. Just wow is all I can think.
Raven starts to move around and I kiss her forehead. She looks up at me before starting to apologize. "Shhh, baby you have nothing to apologize for. I think you have the best reason to be tired. I would like to have you pee on a stick for me.", she looks at me funny. She suddenly gets my meaning and smiles really big. She touches her stomach and giggles. "Do you really think so?", she asks me. "I really do. I kept smelling strawberries and rain. I called mom to ask her why. She said that we are going to have a pup.", I reply.
"Can you sneak out to get a test?",she request. "Yep, I sure can. I'll be right back love.", I am so glad she is happy. I can't wait to find out. I just want to get home to our own castle. We need to decorate the nursery and I hope she let's Ken paint it. So many different things pop into my head. Will it be a boy or a girl. Will our first born be an Alpha or a warrior. What name will we pick out.
Why strawberries and rain? Is that a girl thing or could it be twins? I rush back so she can pee. We wait for 5 minutes. When the alarm goes off we both are shaking. It has a plus symbol. We are pregnant. I hug her, pick her up and twirl her. I pat her tummy gently and ask her if she needs anything.
"Wilson honey, I do need one thing, you to calm down. I need calm and rest. Plus I want to go home.", she request. "Yes ma'am, we will be home in our own bed by nightfall.", I promise her. I call the jet and we are indeed home by bedtime. We have a bowl of soup before bed and then I tuck her in bed while I hold her stomach.
We find out that Jonathan has killed himself and we arrange for the funeral. He is cremated with his ashes poured in the ocean. Raven is sad over her brother but the happiness of motherhood makes it up to her. She is so happy.
We paint the nursery white with one black wall. We have splashes of red to add color. The black is a chalk wall. It will some day become a playroom and the chalkboard is going to be fun. We pick out gender neutral items for now.
We can find out what our baby is later. Raven starts her job as Queen Luna right away. She sets up a pup house. Where families can come for help as a litter. She fixes several pack homes and she looks into helping several packs all over the world. She fixes a widows fund, an elderly home and a home for disabled pups.
Raven can't stand when others are hurt. She is a great Luna. Our chef fixes her meals to be healthy for our pups. We find out we are having twins. One boy, and one girl. She will be a rare beauty who will be the best warrior. He will be an Alpha in training. Well that's my thoughts on the matter but when the Moon Goddess blesses them it could be different.
Raven establishes a female training camp for 2 weeks in winter and 6 weeks in summer. She also starts an academy for teens. She wants our youth strong and intelligent. I see her leadership skills and I am in awe of her. My Queen is so beautiful and smart.
"Raven will you please go on bed rest? It's only two weeks until the twins arrive. I am really worried babe.", I ask her. She agrees to my request because the Dr has said as much too. This will make me relax somewhat. Mom comes as well as Ana and Patti. Patti is expecting as well but she is only 14 weeks. The girls spend hours together.
This is the best idea I've had. Patti and my mom are just what my Raven needed. That and all she can eat of ice-cream. The local shop brings her favorite of the day. Today is lemon. Yesterday was chocolate with pistachios.
