Atrey woke up and dragged himself down to the hall. He smiled seeing Viraat feeding Vir as Zal sat near them a smile on his face. He was so happy for them. Seeing Zal's sadness and missing Viraat was eating away at him. He beamed as he saw Viraat turn and feed Zal. Zal blushed a bit but opened his mouth as Vir clapped curled up on his father's chest.
He looked at the screech coming from upstairs. Hale was running behind Ira. She was wreaking havoc as she went and hid behind Iker and then Avadh before running off to find her bodyguard and father all in one. Vansh smiled as he caught her in his arms and lifted her up.
Hale was glaring at Ira.
"Go on, your calcium levels a real bad. Teeth and bones are very important for wolves, now come on," said Hale as he got to them.
"The big wolf also needs calcium. We will share," smiled Vansh and looked at Ira who nodded bobbing her head eagerly.
Hale held back a smile as his husband took the milk and fed their kid. Vansh will have to leave for his club's most glorious tournament in a couple of days. He can see the man soaking in his family's love.
Atrey was startled when he felt two people hit his legs with force. He looked down and smiled at his nephews, Jana and Carles. He picked them both up as they roared with laughter having surprised their uncle.
Avadh shook his head as he placed his arm around Iker who leaned on his shoulder. Jeev was running around with Tara as Kanwar sat on Riya's lap as Arav made him have food.
Ma sat on the sofa, smiling as she looked at her happy family. Atrey carried his nephews and then played with them for some time. He wished that he too had his mate with him.
------------------------------------------------------
Hale was packing Vansh's bags. Hale and Ira always travel with him, but now Hale was pregnant. He was in his 8th month and Vansh did not want to risk their safety.
Ira was jumping on the bed.
"Two months and I will be back. It's not like I wouldn't be visiting. I will, after each match, Okay. I wish I didn't have to go at this time, but I - you know I have to do it," said Vansh.
Hale smiled fondly as he kissed on Vansh's cheek.
"You idiot, We will be fine. You are going to win this," said Hale.
This was important or Vansh wouldn't leave at such a critical point. This was the same tournament which he lost years back. This was the same where he was injured. The most prestigious cup in the football world after world cup and he even has the world cup under his sleeve, but the Champion's title was yet to grace him. His team, Kale Varrios
KV's
has never won the title. They have always lost out in the semi-finals and the one time they did reach the final, Vansh was injured that he could do practically nothing for his team.
Vansh looked at Hale and Ira and hugged them tightly and dropped a kiss on their head and left.
-------------------------------------------------
Viraat saw Zal packing their bags and sat down on the bed with Vir in his arms. He was yet to put down his son and his son was yet to leave his arms. Zal never left his side either. Viraat loved it. He was also sad that he made both of them insecure. So, he had planned a vacation with just the three of them, away from the wolf lands. He was taking them to a faraway land where he purchased a house for them. They will stay there for 60 days and Viraat intended to take more vacations with his family if Zal and Vir liked the place.
"Come on, let me help you," said Viraat as he dropped a kiss on Zal's hair and handed Vir to him. Zal took their son and his face was flushed as he did so. Even though it has been a month after Viraat returned, they were yet to consummate their reunion.
Viraat looked at Zal whose cheeks were red even as he got their son dressed.
"Zaleno"
"Alpha" he looked at Viraat.
"I have got you something, would you like to- ehm-" Viraat extended a box to Zal. He had bought it when he was travelling. He just felt the need to buy it for his Zal. And he would have given it to his beautiful mate even if things did not work out well for them.
"You don't have to say anything. I- I would totally understand. We can go very slow. I- " Viraat broke off when Zal took the ring from the box.
"I am sure we can wait to get married. There is nothing wrong with being engaged," said Zal.
Viraat smiled.
"Whenever you want," said Viraat as he took the ring from Zal's hand and wore him the ring.
Zal looked at Viraat and kissed on his cheek.
"Kissy- Kissy" mumbled Vir bringing them both out of the trance. Both blushed and the redness on their cheeks remained even as they did the rest of the packing and went down to leave for the vacation.
-------------------------
Avadh was looking at Iker as he had Jeev in his arms as he made him have food. Jeev was notorious for not eating and Iker always takes him around the garden to make him eat. Avadh was dreading the day his sons would be grown up and will have to leave for their mates' place. For one, he can't imagine not seeing his kids and two Iker wouldn't survive a day without them in his eyesight either.
Maybe it was the fact that Iker was an Alpha who gave birth, his attachment to their kids was beyond what he has seen. Iker looked up and saw Avadh looking at him.
"That's creepy King," smiled Iker.
"Yeah, well, not my fault you get sexier and cuter in the father mode," said Avadh.
Iker's cheeks flushed a dark red colour as he tried to glare at his husband but gave in and just looked away blushing.
-------------------------------
Atrey was happy, really. He was happy for everyone. he just wished his mate would come for him.
