Chapter 65 - Undergoing a physical change.

Luca heard them speak and knock on the door.

"Enter."

"Sis what are you up to?"

'Just a small operation.'

Luca looked worried "But sis what about your trauma? Ar you really ready for this?"

'My dear brother, I know what you're worried about, and that's why I took some safety precautions.'

'But Luca there is one difference between then and now, This time I made this choice on my own accord, nobody is forcing me against my will and I will be sedated. Furthermore Richard will be the only one with me until I fall asleep and the only one who will be with me when I wake up.'

'But if your that worried you can stay here, maybe you can help Genus during the operation.'

"Alright sister I will do that." And he gave her a hug.

Richard took Marika to the other room, while Genus brought Luca up to speed.

"Those bastards!, so how bad is the blockage they made?"

Genus showed him what he had seen and Luca had a good look and saw what they had done.

"Hum…that's interesting."

"What is it?"

"Well they place tubes in there and stuff them up and seal the tubes, If we cut them out this way her healing ability will fix the rest. They made it this way probably because if the wanted to forcefully make her pregnant they could remove the blockage."

"But if we take them both out right away she will be struggling with her hormones since they have been half dormant and we may need to kick start everything."

"When she has adapted to it physically and mentally we can take out the other blockage, but I recommend we do that a year after this procedure."

"Alright let's go with that, I already told her that I would remove one blockage for now and the other later."

Marika had changed her cloth and was cover up by a blanked. Genus came in and gave Richard the anesthetic and left again, after Genus had left Solis and Caelum came in to the room.

"Are you ready mom?"

Marika nodded.

Solis started to place the seal and Caelum kept a close watch on the seal.

"Everything looks good brother the seal is in place and it seems she can't absorb it."

Solis place a kiss on her head, "Stay strong mom you can do this, you have us and dad with you."

Richard looked up at Solis with a surprised look on his face, and Marika giggled a little.

"What is it dad?"

Richard smiled "It's nothing"

Caelum hugged Marika "Mom…"

'What is it?'

"When your all healed up and recovered I want a brother and sister."

Marika giggled a bit and stroke his head 'Well Caelum that will be going to take a little while but sure, me and your father will work on it.'

Caelum smiled at her and left the room with Solis.

Richard gave her a kiss, "Let's get this over with so you can hang out with guards later."

Marika nodded and Richard administer the anesthetic.

Richard stayed with her and she slowly started to feel drowsy, Richard was stroking her head and spoke to her soothing words.

After 10 minutes she was completely out.

Caelum came in to the room to check on the seal one more time and told Genus it was still working.

"Call me when you're done or if there are any problems."

Richard also left the room.

Luca and Genus started their operation and when they were 10 minutes in they managed to cut out the blockage.

Luca then had a quick look on the other blockage and told Genus the second operation would probably be a little more difficult than this one.

Just as when they were done Luca noticed that Marika was behaving strange under her anesthetic.

"What the…shouldn't she be out for at least an hour and a half?"

"Let's close her up and have Solis come in here."

Genus quickly sewed her up with an stitching that would dissolve on its own over time.

Solis came in and removed the seal on her and Caelum told him the seal was gone.

After that Richard came in to the room and sat down next to her start stroking her head and talked to her calmly and soothing.

After 15 minutes Marika started to wake up again.

"Hey sleeping beauty, how are you feeling?"

Marika looked around, 'Did it work?'

Richard gave her a kiss, "They managed to remove one blockage."

"Do you think you can handle it if they come in?"

Marika nodded.

Richard told Genus and Luca they could come in.

Genus came in and Marika didn't have her guard up or stared intensely at them.

Richard and Luca noticed it and were glad to see that she had progressed so much that it looked like she completely trust Genus.

"What the hell little girl! I made a very potent anesthetic and you already showed signs of coming out of it only 20 minutes after it was administered."

'Than it wasn't potent enough.'

"What!!! A normal person should be down and out for 3 whole days…"

Marika looked pensive and then said, 'Maybe next time use a dragon sedative.'

"Or at least half of that what's in there."

'Well I can also make a sleeping pill that should let me sleep for two day's and an anesthetic.'

"Sis are you and Genus crazy?"

'What? I need to undergo this again you know…and since I was ready to wake up only 20 minuts after I got the anesthetic we need to come up with a solution so that it won't happen again. Or do you want to die if I wake up during the operation, or set me back with my trauma?'

Marika and Genus looked at each other

'Well he is right, it is a bit crazy.'

"Yeh but we would be crazy if we didn't try it."

And they both nodded

'Well nothing is to gain if we don't try it.'

"Well you are a special case so we have to pull out some crazy idea's to make things work."

Richard started to laugh "You two really came a long way."

'So Genus, Luca give it to me.'

"We were able to remove the blockage on your left fallopian tube."

"But the right side will be little more difficult according to you brother."

"For now sis everything is looking good, and even if you get pregnant before the removal of the second blockage there shouldn't be any problem during your pregnancy, your uterus looked good and healthy."

Marika waved over Genus and Luca and hugged them

'Thank you…both of you.' as tears of happiness came from her eyes.

Genus and Luca hugged her back.

Solis, Caelum and Richard look at Marika who for the first time genuinely looked happy and relieved.

Genus and Luca let go Marika and Genus had a look, seems your fallopian tube is already healed up nicely, just take a nap for a few hours and you should be all healed up.

Marika nodded and laid back in the bed.

Solis and Caelum laid down next to her and the 3 of them went to sleep.

Richard, Luca and Genus left the room.

"Well everything looks good, but now she need to kick start her ovaries."

"And how are you going to do that?"

Genus and Luca both looked at Richard, "Well we are not going to do anything, you are going to do that."

"We will give her some medicine and the rest is up to you."

Richard knew what they were hinting at, "Sounds good to me."

"Brother in law, just so you know she can suffer from very, very bad mood swings in the beginning."

"Alright…but I don't think they could get any worse than they are now."

"I hope your right."

A few hours had past and Marika started to wake up from her sleep and saw Solis and Caelum still sleeping.

Marika started to wash up and get dressed.

Something to her felt off and she knew what it was but how was she going to coop with it.

"Richard!"

Marika started to pant heavily and her whole body felt itchy to her.

Richard, Genus and Luca came in to the room and saw the state she was in.

"Oh seems she doesn't need the medicine after all."

"That's good… nature is doing its job."

Marika looked at her brother and Genus.

'I don't like it…it feels so strange, I…I can't coop with it.'

"Well sis let your husband help you with that."

Richard picked up Marika "Sweetheart, I'll help cure you from this."

He left the room and went with her to his bedroom.

On their way Marika was nibbling at Richard neck

When they arrived he laid her down on the bed and started to undress her and kissing her all over her body.

Marika was drowning in pleasure and demanded more.

Richard gave in to her demands because he himself wasn't rationally think because of the scent that came from Marika.

It was the natural scent a dragon would give of when they were in heat and it made Richard go crazy and hunger for her even more.

Luca was sipping on his coffee while Genus was sipping on some tea.

"Well since her body is already returning to normal this quickly, how long do you think it will take her before she get used to it?"

"Well I give it 3 months if they are able to keep it up."

"Should we send them to the human world? Time goes by faster over there. Then she should be cured in a matter of hours."

"Not a bad idea…but we can't really send them to the main house.

"Why not send them do a desolated island or something, I mean they are both capable of surviving anyway."

"Well that's fine but it needs to be warm because sis hate's the cold."

Genus got a call from Dante and told him what he was feeling, Genus spat out his tea and asked him about little Kevin.

"He seems to be fine."

"That's good then, but on the other hand you seem to be having a hard time."

"Well what do you expect it's been like this for an hour now."

Luca then remember that William was also under a bounding spell.

"I'll go check on William."

"Well I am sorry to hear that, but there is nothing I can do about it. You just have sit it out or break the bond and ask her to give you the same bonding spell as Kevin, because she just had an operation and her body is healing and adjusting."

"What kind of an operation?"

"Well her reproductive organs were clogged up and we removed one blockage so her body is now adjusting so she can conceive in the future."

"Alright I get it…"

"But Luca and I were just thinking of sending her and Richard to the human word for a little while so she can adjust there and without you having to deal with this."

Luca came back

"How is William?"

"He doesn't seem to have any problems either."

"Well since you are the only one who is under the old bonding spell, you're the only one who is suffering right now. So just bear with it for a little longer."

"Alright…"

Dante ended the call.

Luca started to call Vincent "Yoh Vincent, is there an island somewhere in the human word that has a warm climate and preferably not inhabited.

"There are 3 like that, why?"

"Well… let's just say my sister need to get something out of her system."

"Alright I'll send the information to William."

"Thanks a lot, ohh and under no circumstance is anybody to disturb her."

Vincent nodded and ended the call.

"Well problem solved."

And both Luca and Genus went back on sipping on their drinks.

Marika and Richard were sleeping after they're intense love making session when there was a knock on the door.

Richard and Marika were both in a deep sleep.

The person who had knocked just entered the room without permission and walked up to Richard and Marika.

Marika smelled an unfamiliar scent and woke up instantly and grabbed the person who was hovering above her with a knife.

She grabbed the person and threw her across the room, what had woken up Richard.

Marika dragon instinct kicked in, to her someone just had entered her territory and she would kill anybody who dares to do that. She behaved more like a mother defending her baby from an intruder.

Richard didn't try to calm her down, because that would be equal as to deny her as being his mate.

Richard however did inform Genus and Luca what was going on.

Genus and Luca arrived to see how she was behaving, but they both knew they couldn't interfere let alone even bother to try.

They just stood there and observe her behavior.

Marika lashed out to the woman and made a deep scratch at the back after that she picked up the woman and took her to the balcony and threw her form it.

When she looked down and saw the woman wasn't moving Marika was satisfied.

She went back inside to clean her hands, and Richard gave her a kiss.

Luca mad a knock on the door so he wouldn't be the next one who would be attacked by her.

"Sis?"

Marika looked at Luca and he could see she was still on guard and agitated.

'What is it.'

"I came to tell you I arranged for you and Richard a small vacation in the human world and the place where your going is nice and warm and there is nobody around and nobody will disturb the both of you."

Marika started to calm down a little 'Alright, when do we leave?'

"Whenever you want."

Marika went to the bath room and started to clean herself up.

Luca waved Richard over, "I don't think that this part of her will improve over time, it seems she is very territorial, what you just saw was actually glimpse of what would happen if someone will set foot in her territory."

Marika came out of the bathroom and was glaring at Luca and Genus.

"And to her it doesn't matter if it's a man or a woman, when anybody that isn't you come in to this room while she is in heat she will treat them as a threat."

Richard looked at Marika and pulled Luca inside the room.

Marika guard went up and was ready to attack if he came in any further.

Richard then pushed him back out and Marika's guard lowered a bit.

"Seems that even her own brother isn't safe…but I get it."

Marika was packing up a few things for her and Richard.

"Sis let me know if you feel there is something not right with your body."

Marika didn't look at him but signaled she heard him.

Luca told Richard to go to William and he would send them to the place where they would be staying.

Richard and Marika arrived at William and he opened the a portal to their destination.

Richard went through first and Marika told William he could open 6 portals a day, but could not keep them open for longer than 15 minutes.

William nodded

"Enjoy your vacation."

Marika patted his should and smiled at him.

'I'll be back soon.'

Marika arrived and saw she was on a beautiful island. The sand on the beach was white and the color of the sea water was bright Azure.

Her mood lifted and saw a beach house.

'I thought it was un-inhabitant island.'

Well let's go and check it out.

Richard took Marika by the hand and they walked up to the beach house.

When they were inside Marika spotted a note on the kitchen counter.

She read it and a smile came to her face.

"What does it say?"

'It seems this is a wedding gift from The Green Dragon Clan.'

'It also says there is a magic barrier around this island and that nobody can enter it nor is it on any map anymore.'

Richard gave her a kiss, "We should defiantly come here for our honeymoon."

[Sun Kingdom]

King Luce was in the meeting room together with the Michael, Leo and Levi and the head of The Oriens Clan.

King Luce was trying to find out how the wolfs from their world could be in The World of Night.

"Clan head Lucesco; the reason we called you here is because when we were visiting The World of Night, there was an incident that was caused by wolfs from your clan."

"That's impossible! After the great ware ended we retrieved all our clans members and came back."

"What was the purpose of your clan in The World of Night?"

"I'm really ashamed to admit it…but our ancestors were send there to kill babies and children, so to prevent a new Guardian of the 3 Worlds to be born there."

"Is it possible that some of your clan's member's went missing in action?"

Clan head Lucesco shook his head. "It more plausible that they were left for dead but somehow survived their wounds."

"How big was the pack?"

"We roughly counted around 75 at one den and there were an additional 25 at a second den, so 100." Levi told the clan head.

"Your Majesty spoke of an incident, what kind of an incident?"

Leo look dejected but started to tell what had happened.

"A day before the engagement banquet of His Majesty Lunam and Her Majesty Viridans; they were visiting a small village and just before they were leaving the wolfs attack the village. His Majesty Lunam managed to evacuate the villagers but there was a baby trapped in the house and Her Majesty Viridans was left behind and defended the house with trapped baby."

The clan head face turned pale.

"Her Majesty managed to save the baby and return the child to his parents…"

"The day after the banquet me, Levi and Michael were invited to hunt those wolfs and capture them alive."

"Scouts had found in the second den that there were at least 12 babies present, so we divided out party so the babies could be rescued."

"It all went wrong when we saw two baby's getting killed in front of our eyes."

"Her Majesty lost it and killed almost all the wolfs that were there, there are 10 wolfs who survived, 6 pup's and 4 adolescent."

"The children that were captured? Are they all save?"

Leo nodded.

"What about the 10 captured wolfs?"

"The pups were send to the human world and are being raised by The Founding Green Dragon Clan. And the 4 adolescent wolfs will be moved to Cruentus, and start their new life's there under the watchful eyes of His Majesty Caedis and Her Majesty Viridans."

After hearing what had happened clan head Lucesco was in an state of utter disbelieve.

"Is there a possibility to contact Her Majesty Viridans, I want to apologize to her in person."

"Well…"

Suddenly a call came in.

"Queen Yumaria I got the message you weren't to be disturbed for a while."

'Oh about that…I was in the human world to speed up my recovery, it's all good now.'

"I see…So how may I help you Queen Yumaria?"

'I was wondering how it was going about the wolf case.'

"Well we have established the wolfs are descendants of a clan from our world, their ancestors were presumed to be dead."

'I see…well in that case the clan head has nothing to worry about, I won't hold this against him.'

"Queen Yumaria is it possible for the current clan head of The Oriens Clan to meet with you. He wants to personally apologize to you…"

'Sure, meet me at the main house of The Founding Green Dragon Clan in 4 days.'

"We will, and I will tell the head of The Oriens Clan."

'All right see you then.'

Marika ended the call.

"Why would she meet with me in the human world?"

"Because she knows very well that wolfs from our world can't handle the drastic change from light to dark."

The clan head smiled.

"How can she still be so kind to us wolfs after what had happened…She is a remarkable Queen."

[Queentia]

Marika was visiting Aron and see how he was doing.

Aron showed her around and Marika saw the new village was growing just fine.

"We built a wall around the village and used barrier spells and put them in the stone. So the few from the surrounding is not obstructed and we still can see the enemy coming."

"We also made the current mansion that was build a multi-purpose building, just like your castle and mansion at Faber Village."

As they walked out side of the village Aron showed her the designated land that would be used for agriculture and what will be restored as a new forest.

Marika gave Aron a big hug.

'You have done such a good job, I'm so proud of you.'

"Thank you Yumaria."

'Are there any troubles coming from the other side of the border?'

"Well The White Fox Clan does try to cross it from time to time but with the soldiers and The Moon Wolf Clan we manage to keep them away."

'Well I'm going to Cruentus in a few days so I will discuss it with King Caedis.'

As they were about to head back they saw a wolf rushing up to them.

Marika recognize it as one of the wolfs of The Moon Wolf Clan.

"My Lord!"

When he finally reached them he saw Marika standing next to Aron.

He bowed deep down "My Queen…I…"

Marika crouched down and petted him 'It's alright, what's wrong?'

"Our leader…she… she is in trouble…her health."

'Alright I get it, don't be anxious.'

Marika turned in to a dragon 'hop on, your too tired to run back.'

'Aron I'll be right back.'

"See you in a bit Queen Yumaria."

Marika arrived at The Moon Wolf Clan, but was met with snarling and growling.

"Stop it! You are being rude to Queen Yumaria, she is here to help."

Marika told the wolf it was alright since they have never seen her, it was natural for them to act like this.

She stayed in her dragon form and told the wolf to get the alpha male.

After a few minutes he arrived.

"Back of right now! She is Queen Yumaria and mother of Luna!"

The wolfs started to calm down and Marika changed back.

'What happened to Luna?'

"She was ambushed by a few white foxes while she was on patrol this morning… I should have gone with her…"

Marika laughed 'You sound just like her father…well it's not unusual for her to act like she did because I'm the same.' And she petted the wolf to reassure him.

'Now bring me to her and I'll have a look.'

Marika arrived where Luna was and saw she was indeed in bad shape.

'Mom?'

'Hey sweetie.' She said in a calm and soothing voice. 'I heard you were reckless just like your mom.'

Marika examine her body and found a cut on her leg and the wound looked festered.

'When did you get attacked?'

'It was early this morning.'

Marika pulled out some medicine and started to heal her up, as she was doing so she checked for other wounds but couldn't find any, but she did found a very pleasant surprise.

'Luna…'

'What is it mom?'

'Rector, could you come in here for a moment!?'

Luna looked anxious and Marika was calling Richard.

Rector came in side. "Is there something wrong My Queen?"

'Richard our daughter got ambushed by The White Fox Clan this morning while she was on patrol.'

"Is she alright?"

Marika nodded 'Yeh she is all healed up and healthy again, but I did find change in her body while I was healing her.'

Marika looked at Luna, 'Luna for the time being you're not allowed to patrol anymore, at least not by yourself, if you need to patrol you take Rector with you or somebody else.'

'Why?'

'Because I don't want to get the news that something bad happened to you and my grandchildren that you are carrying right now.'

"Are you sure about that?" Richard asked her.

Marika nodded.

Luna looked at her mother 'Congratulation Luna, Rector you're going to be parents soon.'

'But…but I'm not ready… mom what do I do, what if become a bad mom?'

Marika hugged her 'You'll be fine, I didn't have the experience either but look at you, you turned out just fine and so did your brothers and sister.'

'But if your that anxious about it, I can ask for Silva of The Dire wolf Clan to come over, if I'm not mistaken she herself just became a mother of 6 and by her being here and you being around the pups can set your mind a bit at ease and you can learn from her.'

"Luna sweetie, me and your mother will help you if you have trouble, so don't be afraid to come to us if you need a babysitter once in a while and have a day for yourself or want to have a day with Rector just the two of you."

Luna started to calm down a little 'If Silva is able to stay for a little, that would be a great help, thanks mom.'

'Oh sweetie…me and your father will always be there for you, you know that.'

'Well since you all healed up and healthy now take some rest.'

"Luna please don't be reckless because it's not only your life that is on the line now."

'I won't dad.'

'Rector take good care of her and let me know if something is wrong.'

Rector nuzzled Marika "Thank you mom, thank you dad."

Marika and Richard laughed.

Marika told Richard she would be at the castle in a hour, because she needed to stop by Aron and handle a last few matters before she could go back.

Marika came outside and saw the pack had gathered.

'Your leader is expecting children soon. Since she is a bit uncertain I will send over Silva and her pups from The Dire Wolf Clan to come over so my daughter and your leader can prepare herself what's to come.'

'I expect you guys to behave towards Silva and her children, and if any of you are being difficult or rude, expect a punishment from me.'

All the wolfs bowed "Yes your Majesty."

Marika than bid everybody goodbye and left the for Queentia.

Marika arrived back.

"Is everything alright?"

'Yeh Luna is all better now, but for the time being she can't patrol the borders at least not alone.'

"Why?"

'She is pregnant so her first priority is her health and that of the babies she is carrying.'

"I understand, then I will discuss matter with Rector for the time being."

Marika nodded.

'Well since everything looks good, are there any supplies you need from Faber Village?'

"For now we are good, and we decided to take a small break before we start our new project."

Marika smiled, 'Let everybody have a good rest and let me know if you need something or have troubles.'

"I will Yumaria."

Marika told everybody in the Queentia to take care of them self's and if they were in trouble not to hesitate to let her know.

Everybody smiled at her "Don't worry we will."

Marika then changed in to a dragon and took off.

[Moon Castle]

Marika arrived at the castle and went to Richard.

When she arrived she gave him a hug and a kiss.

'I can't believe we are going to be grandparents soon.'

"Our daughter is an adult now so…"

'I know… I know wolfs here grow and age different from the once in the human world, but still… it only feels like it was just yesterday that I rescued her and we adopted her.'

'But I'm happy for her, none the less.'

Richard pulled her in his embrace, but we better let Luna know that her kids are not allowed to call us grandpa and grandma, we still look to young."

Marika giggled.

'But I have to admit, Rector is a very capable husband, the moment he didn't trusted the situation he send out a pack member for help.'

"That's probably because we set that example for them."

Marika hugged Richard.

'I'll go change my clothe and go to the soldiers.'

"Enjoy you dinner sweetie, and don't drink them all under the table."

Marika smiled at him and left his office.
