Sophie's recovery took longer after she gave birth to her daughter. It was really different from when she gave birth to her wolf pups. This experience gave her a different perspective on how much harder it was for a female human to give birth and care for their little ones. She had not named her daughter because Sophie couldn't think of a good name in her current state. She wanted to name the youngest one something related to her family, but she already named her children from Leland with her parents'…

Jan, Luciel, and Nicholas were pacing restlessly in front of the infirmary. Since both boys looked a lot like their father, the three of them became a sight to behold. It was like seeing the king and his two mini-mes showing very similar gestures and expressions while pacing back and forth. They all were very worried because Sophie's scream broke into the sky, and they felt like someone was being tortured mercilessly in there. "Anne and Jack were not this bad," Luciel commented. Their younger…

Several months later. Nicholas was busy in his study reading reports from the lords around Riga that were sent to the capital once a month. This was the day he disliked the most of all days in the month but he must do his job and read them. Not only reports, but the lords would also submit requests, invitations, etc. All needed his attention. Some lords were throwing parties to celebrate the birth of their heirs, marriage between their children and other lord's children, the birthday party of a…

That night, Sophie couldn't immediately sleep in her new home. Even though it was her home, it still felt foreign because, until earlier that day, she and the children had not stayed there. She felt more at home in the royal palace, having her own apartment there and spending months living there with the children. KNOCK KNOCK "Come in," Sophie said when she heard the knocks on her door. The door was opened by her oldest sons who came inside her room with their hands holding their pillows.…

Sophie listened to Nicholas' explanation about his parents. She realized the man went through a difficult life too. She couldn't imagine what it was like having a parent who didn't want you or love you. Her father doted on her and would do anything for her. However, now that she remembered Leland also suffered the same fate as Nicholas, or even worse because both his parents were indifferent, Sophie realized both men were more alike than they thought. However, Nicholas didn't seem bitter about it. He…

The housewarming party went without a hitch. They just drank and talked and later Nicholas helped Sophie arrange her stuff in her new home. Sophie offered to host them for dinner which was gladly accepted by the king and his mother. To celebrate their new home, Sophie insisted on cooking herself even though two cooks had already prepared to do it. She said she wanted to do it since it was a special occasion. "I am only pregnant, not disabled," Sophie repeated her words to remind Nicholas when the…

"This is actually a lovely home," the queen commented when the carriage stopped in front of a lovely white building with an arc made of rose plants in front of it. The building had two stories and the first one had a big open-plan layout with many tables and chairs that looked very comfortable. There were big wooden stairs going to the second floor and the queen was informed that it was where Sophie and her children would live. The front part of the property was a beautiful terrace with a…

Sophie didn't stay long at the ceremony. Her discomfort was immediately noticed by Nicholas who was talking with Lucas about the future of the pack and what he planned for Blood River Pack after they left Lievstad. "Are you okay?" he came to Sophie immediately and asked her if she wanted to go home. She nodded. "I can't leave the kids for too long," Sophie gave an excuse. She turned to Lily and hugged her again to show her support. "Congratulations, again, Lily. I wish you and Lucas all the happiness…

With that conversation, finally, everything was settled. Even though Nicholas badly wished Sophie would stay, he couldn't. He lost the right to influence her decision when he left. So, he could only stand on the sideline and support her in any way he could. He left Sophie with a heavy heart. Raising three babies and two young sons. Sophie had so much to take. *** Sophie was very active. She worked together with Max and her builder and designer to prepare her tavern. She badly wanted to finish everything…

Sophie noticed Nicholas was looking at her with a weird expression. So, she asked him what he had in mind. "Sophie, maybe it's not a good idea for you to leave the palace?" Finally, Nicholas voiced his concern. "You are carrying a human baby and it will give you a lot of hassle and extra problems." "My child is not a problem," said Sophie, immediately turned sour because Nicholas seemed to imply that her youngest baby would give her problems. She was a human herself and she understood that life would be…
