“New Bestia,”my mates all say together.

3 more months later

I am a roly-poly pregnant bundle of hormones. The bigger I become, the less work I can actually accomplish. Shifting is harder, and all my Dragon wants to do is find a nice cave to settle into until the babies are born. She is sensible. I am not. My inner businesswoman is all about pushing myself each and every day.I am useless, put me out to pasture, I am done,I say in jest to myself. I refuse to stop working.

More and more Shifters are coming to Arcadia from Earth daily. Eagles, Bears, Lions, and even Shark Shifters are coming in droves. The Shark Shifters have been given permission by Adrian to reside inPanlongia. Arcadia is open for all. If the Shifters don’t want to live inNew Bestia, they can move within the other three regions. Even my mother welcomes Dragons who are looking for a fresh start into Celestia. Of course, most of the Fae are still reluctant to migrate elsewhere, but I make it my mission to eventually convince them. My father is helping with that as well and I am happy for his knowledge and counsel. It is all happening. My dream for the Realms is slowly blossoming into so much more. Unfortunately, my body has other ideas.

After being threatened with being locked away in a tower, I relented. It was an actual threat, from my mother of all people. I was sequestered in my new wing of the palace that was ready for me to move into. I still find it hard to go into my mother’s royal wing, so I opted to add an additional wing for my own growing family.

There isn’t much I can do during the day-to-day activities that are happening without me, so I need a distraction, and that leads to lots of orgasms. Who knew being pregnant would make you so damn horny? This woman is not complaining. Group sex literally became a feat of acrobatics I had to call quits on. Torin, Adrian, Gale, and Dravyn make sure that I am never alone and there is always one of them available for whatever I need. Sometimes there are two. Which is why an innocent shower—another thing I can’t do myself, turns into me begging and whimpering between Dravyn and Adrian.

“Fuck me!” I moan, my hands are braced against the shower wall as Adrian slams into me from behind. I push back into him, taking him deeper, only for him to smack my ass in warning.

“No moving, baby. Let me take care of you, or I’ll stop.” He grinds into me, hitting all the right spots. My head falls forward, my eyes meeting Dravyn’s beautiful violet eyes as he kneels before me holding my belly. My official shower sex belly holder so Cordelia doesn’t go crashing to the floor or lose her balance. I love these men.

“Don’t stop. Please, don’t stop,” I pant out, trying not to move as Adrian slows his pace with long punishing strokes. My greedy pussy clenches involuntarily, almost demanding more of it.

“Look at my beautiful mate and her needy pussy begging for more,” he croons, and I am practically sobbing. My legs are shaking because I can barely stay upright from the things his delicious cock is doing to me.

“Kiss me,” I manage to get out past another whimper as Dravyn’s mouth collides with mine, swallowing my moans of pleasure. My stomach clenches tight, causing me to cry out and break off our kiss.

“Oh God!” I scream, but I am so far gone that I ignore the pain. As Adrian begins to circle my clit my orgasm slams into me hard. My arms slide down the wall, finding Dravyn’s shoulders; he practically holds me up as my legs turn to jelly. I feel euphoric, the pleasure is almost like an out of body experience, like I am floating. My pussy is singing. Adrian picks up the pace again, chasing his own climax. He leans forward, kissing my lower back, nipping at my cheeks as he hammers into me.

“Give me one more, beautiful.” He smacks my ass again and I gasp as Dravyn’s lips find mine again, our tongues dance as he devours my mouth. If I could take them both at the same time, I would, but Adrian’s cock is so hard I feel it hitting the sweet spot. It doesn’t take me long to fall over the edge with him. I come so hard my release begins to pour down my legs.Wait, that’s not—my stomach clenches harder, and I feel like I am peeing as water gushes out me.

“Cordelia?” Dravyn pulls away at the sound. His eyes go wide as he looks down at the shower and then back up to me.

“I think my water broke,”I broadcast to all my mates telepathically.

“Fuck!” Adrian roars as he comes inside of me. This is not the happy ending he was hoping for, I’m sure. My stomach clenches tight and my knees buckle from the pain. Dravyn catches me as I fall forward.

“What the hell is happening?” Adrian shrieks in surprise as Dravyn carefully stands with me in his arms.

“I think you fucked me into labor,” I answer in surprise. I’ve read books lately about these wonderful birthing stories, and let’s just say I won’t be sharing this one anytime soon.

“Please don’t tell my mother how my water broke. Let’s just keep this between us.” I look at them both horrified that this is happening, like this right now. My stomach clenches tight, sending another ripple of pain through me.

“Pinky swear, guys, this is our secret.” I sigh as the pain eases. They both look at me with so much love it makes my heart ache.

“Our dirty secret, sweetheart.” Dravyn kisses my hair and Adrian actually grabs my pinky and links it with his.

“Pinky swear, beautiful.” Adrian leans in and kisses my forehead.

“Well, let’s not just stand here, let’s go have some babies,” I say with all the enthusiasm I can muster.

Eighteen hours later and the novelty has well and truly worn off. I don’t recall how many times I told my mates that they would never touch me again. That my pussy is closed for business from here on out. I screamed it loud, several times, to my mother's utter horror. Poor Silva kept escorting my mates to the door to leave and then hurrying back into the hallway to bring them back. I was irrational, exhausted, and in so much pain. I wanted to use my magic to heal myself, when I asked the Druid healer if it was possible, the woman told me no. What’s the point of being a queen when no one listens to you. I wasn’t the best patient in my labor stupor but hell I won’t be apologizing anytime soon. I pushed two children out kicking and screaming, and I deserve a medal. I might have graciously demanded that as well.

Nothing prepares you for the moment when you hold your babies for the first time. Your love for them feels like an infinite well, that’s overwhelming and all-consuming. The need to protect them from the outside world, to make sure they have everything they will ever need is strong. Those are the feelings which run through my mind when I look at my two beautiful daughters.

We decided to name them Trinity, and Ayanna, after Adrian's sister. It had only been a few months ago when he had taken me toPanlongiaand shown me the memorial erected to honor them. Two massive black spires stand watch over the waters. I decided then and there that I would name one of our daughters after one of them. I’ve never seen so much emotion on his face as he took her in his arms for the first time. Torin reached out and took Trinity, and my damn uterus, in its exhausted state, tried to betray me at the sight.Down girl,I furiously thought to myself as Silva and my mother helped me to sit up against the pillows.

“I’m so proud of you.” My mother leans in and hugs me tight, and I slump my head against her, pulling her into bed with me. I am so tired, and I needed her to hold me, and she does. I watch on as my babies meet their fathers, and I look around the room at all the people who are near and dear to me. I watch as my father takes Trinity from Gale, and I can see the love in his eyes as he holds her close.

“Future queen of the Light court right here in my arms,” he whispers to her as he locks eyes with me.
