pointed out and I shifted my weight to the side.
    Consequently, I moved within her and Arianna’s eyes glazed over briefly with pleasure. My gaze swept down her body and I saw her nipples hardening.
    “They trust me Arianna. They will not attack me again,” Arianna’s expression sobered and she still seemed unsure.
    “All Tristan wanted was for you to become my mate, once he sees that has happened, he will have no logical quarrel with you,” I explained. Arianna took a deep breath and she nodded.
    “Okay…yeah that makes sense,” Arianna relaxed and her hands ran up along my arms and back down.
    She wanted me again and I was fully prepared to make love to her as many times as she wanted me to.

    I woke early, as I always did. Arianna was using me as her blanket. She held my arms around her and managed to move my leg over both of hers as well.
    I smiled and kissed the back of her shoulder. She stirred and then turned in my arms so that I could see her face. She looked so beautiful in the early morning light.
    “Why am I awake?” Arianna asked groggily.
    I chuckled and then buried my nose in her neck. I loved that my scent was all over her. I sensed something then, something that wasn’t quite Arianna, but was within her…we had conceived! And so quickly, she was already carrying my child! 
    I smiled against her skin as joy soared through me. I wondered if I should tell her that was why she woke so early, she had my child growing inside of her.
    I knew human customs and in most cultures, it was frowned on if a child was born or conceived before the mother and father married. I would wait until after our wedding ceremony to tell her the news.
    When we met with the men later, I would have to tell them not to say anything. I could even sense the life growing stronger inside of her.
    “Will you do that a lot?” Arianna asked me another question, this time with a laugh in her voice. I lifted my head to look at her and she smiled crookedly. “Do I smell different?”
    “Yes, my scent is on you now. I am just…excited is all,” I said and Arianna giggled at me.
    “Well since we are up…do you want to go and get this over with? With your warriors?” Arianna asked with a sigh.
    “Yes, we can return to town now if you are rested enough.” I carried Arianna from bed and went into the shower with her.
    It was a cramped space with two people, but we did not need much space anyways. Once I got her cleaned and dressed and myself as well, we went outside. I locked up the cabin and made a mental note to return so that I could dispose of any foods that would spoil.
    “Would you like me to carry you and run, or would you like to sit on my back while I am the tiger and run that way,” I asked and Arianna held her arms out to me with a grin. I smiled as I scooped her into my arms.
    I ran to my house and we arrived in just a few hours, though it would have been a quicker trip if I were in my tiger form. I set Arianna down on her feet once we reached the back of my house.
    “Have I ever complimented you on your home?” Arianna asked as she looked at the house.
    “It’s beautiful, it’s like one of those big Minnesota log cabins.” I took Arianna’s hand and we walked into the house through the side entrance.
    I knew all of my warriors were present even before we heard them talking in the living room. They grew silent as we neared the room and when we stepped into the open space, they all stood to show respect. Though Arianna did not know this and she grew nervous, her hand gripped mine tighter and I gently squeezed her hand in reassurance.
    “Lord Commander…Congratu—” Josiah was about to congratulate me on Arianna and I having conceived. I shook my head abruptly and he quieted. I knew they’d all sensed the life growing inside Arianna because they were all overwhelmed with surprise.
    “Before you all say anything, I’d like to formally state that I have claimed Arianna
