The Alien’s Pet (Earthly Mates #2)

Epilogue

Four years later…

"I'm going to fill you with my seed," Korrev growled in Karin's ear. His queen was lying down on their bed, her pale skin flushed as he pumped into her aggressively, not giving her time to rest. It wasn't like she needed it, though. Even though their lovemaking exhausted her, she was still hungry for more. "And I won't stop until I put another baby in you."

Karin's blue eyes widened as she let out something between a mixture of a groan of protest and a moan. She didn't even try to pull away. She knew Korrev would always get his way and make her his.

Korrev pressed a hand against her swollen lips. "Shh, my queen, you'll wake the little monsters."

Karin and Korrev had been together for more than four years, and in those four years, she had become the first Queen of Krotev as well as giving birth to three healthy half alien, half human princes who were just a few feet away, sleeping in the nursery.

However, the oldest of the three, Pakhen, easily got out of his bed and could drag his brothers along with him even if Karin still saw him as a baby at four years old. Their three sons adored their mother with the same ferocity as their father did.

Karin loved them as well. She would give up her life for her babies, even for her husband. But it did not mean she wanted to get pregnant again.

She had delivered three babies in four years. As soon as Azis would tell her she was healed from the birth, Korrev would practically mount her and fuck her until she became pregnant again.

"No more babies," Karin groaned as Korrev finished inside her. She knew her words didn't mean much. Korrev may love her and she may be queen, but he still had the final say.

When she had first been brought to Krotev, she had been given a painful injection to slow down aging. If they weren't careful, they would end up with a dozen babies. Not that Korrev seemed to mind.

He turned out to be a much better father than Karin thought he was going to be. He was strict but loving and his sons respected him in the same way they adored their mother. Being a father had softened him up, but not so much that he had stopped punishing her altogether.

Karin smiled at the idea. Most "punishments" ended with extremely long lovemaking sessions which Karin didn't seem to mind too much.

"But we make such adorable babies," Korrev cooed as he kissed her.

"Don't try to be cute." She tried to give him a scolding look, but she was failing. "My body is tired, Korrev."

"Fine. I guess we do not have to have a baby this year." He had the audacity to actually look disappointed, even though she had already given birth to three heirs. "Though might I remind you, you were the one who desperately wanted a baby. I am just fulfilling my end of the deal."

"Korrev." Karin gave him a warning look. "Three babies is enough. I'm thirty-seven. I am not exactly a spring chicken anymore." But to be fair, she still looked thirty-three. She had to give it to Krotev aliens, they really were advanced when it came to scientific experiments.

"We'll see," he simply said as he gave her another kiss.

He was a doting father compared to most men, both human and alien. Their children adored him. Sometimes more than their own mother. Neither Karin nor Korrev worried about the future of Krotev.

"I wouldn't say no to a daughter, though," she said slowly. Karin had been thinking about this for a while. Thanks to the Krotev alien genetics, she would only be able to give birth to boys. She had been longing for a little girl. "There are plenty of baby girls who don't have parents. Who won't be missed, I mean." She didn't think Korrev would be too happy if she mentioned getting pregnant with someone else's sperm.

Thankfully, Korrev didn't immediately dismiss the idea. "A princess," he mused, "would be good to form alliances."

That had not been what Karin had in mind.

She rolled her eyes. "I'm sure it would benefit our sons to have a sister as well. This way, they will know how to behave around women when it's time for them to mate, and not act like cavemen." She bit her lip. "I wouldn't want our daughter to be far away from home."

He shrugged. "She could marry Kyvan and Alice's eldest son. Then she would never have to be far away from us."

Kyvan and Alice had four sons and had moved out of the palace two years ago, to a much bigger house on the outskirts of town. Kyvan still worked for Korrev as his right-hand man and Alice and Karin still had playdates, but for their children instead of themselves.

Karin flushed happily. "It would make me very happy."

"Good." Korrev kissed her and he was about to press himself against her again when they heard a baby crying. It was their youngest child, Hekyn, who was only three months old and even more fussy than his two older brothers. He sighed. "Perhaps we should wait until Hekyn stops crying every hour before we get a daughter."

Karin gave him a playful smack as she put on her robe. "He doesn't cry every hour, only when he's hungry. He'll grow out of it eventually, like the others."

Korrev muttered something under his breath which she chose to ignore while she went to console her crying son. She pushed the door of the nursery open. Her two eldest sons, Pakhen and Kov, were thankfully fast asleep. They were four and three years old.

Her three children were a copy of their father, with their golden hair, wide nose, and hot temper. But their blue eyes were the same shade as hers and they had the same small ears.

Karin quickly picked up Hekyn. The last thing she needed was for her older children to wake up, then no one would get any sleep. She started rocking him to sleep before pressing him to her breast after she loosened her robe.

The baby started sucking hungrily, his cries soon diminishing. She squeezed him tightly. She wished they could stay in the baby stage forever. She already knew her sons would be difficult to manage when they became teenagers. Karin could barely handle the baby stage.

"He's asleep; that was fast." Korrev wrapped his arms around her waist.

"I think he needed to be soothed, like another big baby I know," Karin teased him as she put the baby back in the crib.

Korrev scowled as he gave her ass a quick slap.

She giggled.

"Let's go to sleep, Pet. We have a long day tomorrow."

Karin followed her mate. Her king. As she always would.
