Hades knew that pregnancy in she-wolves was a total problem, especially for the males. The reason: from the second week on, the early morning cravings started. These cravings could be of various types. From going for a run, to biting his mate just because he needed to relieve his fangs. In the case of his wife and queen of his pack, Nebraska… things were a little… different.
By nature, she-wolves craved at most three things throughout their entire pregnancy. Maybe it was because she was an omega that the situation got out of control.
It all started after the first month, but so strongly that Hades was really going crazy. And that would be three cravings at most. Delusional everyone, Nebraska was already four months old and he had already lost count of how many he had been through.
First, she would wake up in the wee hours of the morning and start kissing his back, most of the time waking him up in the process. He didn’t complain at the time. The nightly caresses were delightful, however, she would leave him hanging as she would fall completely asleep after just a few kisses.
Then the licking began… all over her body. More than once he woke up with her tearing his clothes off and finishing her mouth on his member. At least that time she did let him orgasm, but of course, it couldn’t be all gold. When he grabbed her to give her pleasure, something he enjoyed, he couldn’t do it because… his she-wolf fell asleep again.
As a result, he was really frustrated. He was one of those wolves who liked to please his mate, and not just receive. Plus, he wouldn’t deny that he was twice as aroused by Nebraska’s moans. That didn’t stop him from surprising her in the middle of the day either, snatching her, pulling her into any room and finishing what she had started in the night. Although they had to be more careful where they went after they were almost caught by Alan and Noa, who thought they were playing hide and seek.
They were… good times in the first few months. They had had a lot of fun, but that was as far as it went.
One day the queen woke up and her sex drive had completely vanished, giving way to wanting to run at night. That was when all the close members of the family had to rotate to accompany her. Hades did it at first, but he was the alpha of his pack and they were in a complicated moment. A lot of work and restless nights took their toll on the fifth day, collapsing from exhaustion.
What touched him the most was that Nebraska was at his side apologizing over and over again for causing him trouble knowing he was up to his eyeballs in work. Hades couldn’t bear to see his wife’s face and had hugged her all night knowing she was holding back her craving of the moment to let him sleep.
After that they made a list, and between their eldest sons, Leoxi, and even Siran they divided the nights they would accompany her.
But this didn’t last long either. Less than a month.
After that, her cravings for… cuddles began.
Nebraska wasn’t exactly an expressive wolf, especially given her position. Yes, she was kind and caring, especially when it came to her children. She was also very attentive to anything related to Hades.
She was also not very open to public displays of affection, perhaps because of the way she had been raised and had to behave for so many years, so she became unconsciously surly at times, especially when Hades wanted to start touching her here and there.
But in the evenings, she began to crave to be held, touched, comforted. Even the alpha was shocked when he woke up and found her crying because he no longer wanted her and found her repulsive because her flat abdomen, flat, had nothing left.
That night it took him a long, long time to convince her that it wasn’t so. That he loved her too much, that she was beautiful, that he would be with her no matter what… until she finally fell asleep, almost dawn.
By the time she woke up, less than an hour later she was the same confident, straight-laced wolf he knew and not a trace of the tearful wolf from earlier. That was making Hades’ brain fry. Those brutal hormonal changes were driving him crazy.
Days later, the situation became more intense. It was no longer just cuddling and Hades ended up having sex with his wife in the middle of the night, taking care not to hurt her. Quite a difficult task when she pushed him, climbed on top of him and moved so that he could penetrate her deep inside. He had to use all his willpower not to lose control, but no matter what he did, she always managed to get him to knot her at the end of each section.
Why yes. Her new craving wasn’t for sex, but for being knotted by her wolf.
Luckily, after having Caesar check the condition of her body and pregnancy, she was unharmed. The puppy inside her was strong and clinging to life. Hades found himself many times kissing the belly with a smile, convinced, that this time he could indeed have his own puppy, because father… he already was, to four big puppies as Nebraska’s children were.
But, like all the cravings that had given his wife, this one too ended, giving way to a less strenuous one. A voracious appetite for specific foods.
-Nebraska, love, what do you want? -Hades rubbed his eyes as he saw her sitting on the bed staring into nothingness. And he knew she was hungry.
She looked up at him with a pout on her lips receiving a kiss from him lovingly on her cheek as she sat up.
-I want apples.
Hades kissed her temple and smiled at her.
-Wait here a moment- and he went out stretching his body and covering his nakedness with a pair of pants. He went down to the kitchen to find four she-wolves preparing breakfast. It would be dawn soon.
-Alpha- they greeted, -What do you need?
-Apples- he searched the huge kitchen, yawning.
One of them approached with a basket containing at least ten.
-Are they for the queen?
Hades smiled, somewhat exhausted, running his hand through his hair.
-Yes, now she just wants to eat that.
The four she-wolves looked at each other and snorted softly.
-Alpha, hold on a little longer. It’s normal for us to get so sick during pregnancy. My husband told me I wouldn’t have any more cubs after that, and look, I have four.
Hades didn’t know what to say to that, so he just said thank you and walked back to his room hoping the apples would be enough to please his wife. When he entered he found her hugging her pillow and smelling it.
He reached over and stroked her head in a gentle caress. She opened her eyes and instead of attending to the wolf she quickly grabbed the basket and began to devour apple by apple. Hades would like to accompany her until she finished and snuggle her against him, but he was too tired and sleep overcame him.
And so began a spate of cravings for different fruits. A different one every day. A chore that made Hades get up and search the kitchen in the middle of the morning. He didn’t like the idea of her walking around the mansion alone with a pronounced belly.
Knowing the situation his alpha and queen were going through, Siran ordered to look for all kinds of fruits, preventing her from asking for any that were not in the pantry. In order not to take the trip every night, Hades carried a large basket that he left near the bed and where Nebraska ate once she woke up in the early hours of the morning.
Thanks to that she was able to sleep for two weeks without interruption.
Until…
-Hades… Hades.
The alpha felt his shoulder shaken and opened his eyes. He grabbed his wife’s hand and kissed her knuckles.
-What is it my queen? -Her voice was low against the pillow, -Would you like some more fruit?
A few seconds of silence.
-Nebraska? -The alpha raised his head, somewhat concerned.
-I don’t want any fruit- she said.
-Huh? -Hades straightened up, knowing the time had come.
-I want to eat tomatoes.
And now… What were they doing with so much fruit?
