He was already the head of the pack doctors. He had practiced a lot on animals Mew hunted. Mew would bring injured animals and Gulf would cure them and take care of them. If they are dead he would use them as science objects and practice his surgical techniques on them. It was helpful.

Mew went to the cabinet and opened a bottle of liquor usually meant for Gulf.

"Stressed out?" Gulf asked.

"No I've just been thinking about the human scents being found on the east of the boarder."

"You haven't found a lead yet?"

"No. I'm beginning to guess it's the Becky."

"Alpha...

"Listen, the scents started coming up after we visited your mother 2 years ago and for almost three years we haven't figured out who it is. They always manage to dodge us."

"I asked my mother about her, she said Becky moved away."

"We don't know where though."

"Overseas!!" Gulf was getting agitated but mainly because he was afraid it might be true.

Mew noticed and tried to calm the situation, "I'm just concerned and don't want the drama to come back when we've finally found our peace in the pack."

"It's been quiet isn't it?"

"It's about time we get some peace." Mew smiled and gulped the burning alcohol.

"It took a while."

"Sure did."

They had a lot of things going on after the ceremony. Fer had to be trained. The pack on their north wanted a pact with Oaklagen since they knew Bittè and Oaklagen were so close. They had bad blood with Bittè and used Oaklagen as a mediator to get in good books with Bittè. It had required a lot of convincing but finally they had made it work. The elder died of old age too and there was a funeral for him.

Gulf took a glass too,  poured himself some and took a shot of the strong liquor, studies forgotten. They just stayed there enjoying the silence in the house being each other's comfort.

That same night, Mild was cuddled up in Vin's arms.

He was enjoying his time last day off  from Oaklagen since he had no pending assignments and had left Fer in charge of his duties. But he had been summoned back to solve human issues at the border.

"So about having a baby." Vin started playfully.

"Wan is up on my throat I don't think I have the patience if we have our own."

"It'll be different since it's ours."

"That's what you always say. And I'm tired of this conversation."

Vin's now serious voice said, "I need an heir Mild. I need to have a baby just like Mew did. It's same for every pack. My people are looking forward to that."

"Ok say we have a baby do they become a beta or an alpha?"

"It's alpha blood."

"Well I can't conceive because I'm not a human."

"We can use a surrogate."

"How the hell do you know about human terms you animal?"

"I've been consulting Gulf on it."

Mild turned around and faced Vin. "Behind my back?"

Vin had a sheepish smile when he continued. "I have another confession to make while we are at it."

Mild just stared at Vin in anticipation.

"We might have already started looking for female wolves with healthy bodies to carry our babies."

Mild sat up. "Why would you do that behind my back?"

"Honey. You don't always want to have this conversation. I always thought you would lash out at me since you don't want to listen to me."

Oh he was right because Mild lashed out at him

"Of course I want to. Don't you think this is more than just you making a choice. What about my emotions and fears and insecurities?"

"Tell me then. You never tell me anything."

"I'm not a human and neither am I a woman. I can't give you a child like Gulf did and you don't think that makes me miserable? The fact that I even think about that when I'm a whole beta of a pack, don't you think it drives me crazy? I see how you look at them, I see the envy in your eyes and hear the sigh you make after that. I..." Mild was shaking with emotions after that.

"My love we have options. Plenty of options for that."

"If you're talking about impregnating a girl then forget." Mild got up from bed and was ready to leave the room when Vin came up behind him and stopped him.

"Hey, hey" he embraced Mild and held him fondly on the waist planting kisses on his neck.
"There's a thing Gulf is working on that can make sure that our baby will have both of our dna."

"What does that even mean?"

"So if we mix our semen and put it in a girl, we'll have a baby that looks like us."

"I'm not about to have a Becky situation again."

"No babe. It won't be that. If it gets to that well kill her."

That somehow soothed Mild because that's how he felt with Becky. He had wanted to kill her with all the commotion she was causing.

"Please think about it. We're not in a rush. I just want to have a mini me running around the house too. I just want a family with you."

Mild melted.

He had accepted this part of him. The part that fell in love with his mate whenever he got mushy like this. He had moments when he made Vin feel that way too. Vin blushed easily so it was endearing to see. They had settled on flipflop sex during lovemaking since that night they had their first time.

It was a stable relationship in a stable environment. It was about time they got to that point in their lives. They had gone through a lot but they were both glad to be here. Mild was gladly dragged back in bed and there they had a sweet night.

It was finally calm in both packs. Of course issues were still going to come up. But they had each other now. The packs had strong alphas and Lunas. The leaders had pack members who were loyal to them.

This was the ending they desired. The ending everyone wished for.

THE END!!
