Her warm den was filled with love, something she was so unused to. Though she loved every moment of it, every little noise they made, her amazing mate. He had sat with her through it all as she endured. She asked him of her name idea for the red pup, and for his ideas on the rest. Her brain was too tired to even think of names for the rest of them, she even had a bunch of ideas before now but all of them seemed to disappear as she panicked to give birth. It was quite comical to her actually. "I think it's beautiful, my dear.. They're all so beautiful.. our children." She grinned at him, and then to the children as she watched him pick out names for them all.

"Well, that little girl right there. Perfectly matching her mother in color. Except, she's got adorable white spotting around her eyes it seems. And auburn brindles. Those little white spots.. my mother had thoses.. Bellona.. I think that name will fit her." The Queen smiled and nodded in approval. "Little Bellona... I feel like she'll be a little ass kicker in the future." She whispered, letting out a soft chuckle. "That little boy looks like he'll be a fighter someday. Helheim.. that name suits well. He'll grow to be an amazing warrior for our pack."

Her audits perked to her love. "Helheim... That's a name for an underworld, meant to punish any unworthy of Valhalla, or heaven. He'll be a punisher." She grinned at the idea. "That little girl, multi-hued princess. She looks like the perfect blend of us.. look at her little black tail. Lähmer.. I think that name is beautiful." She smiled at his excitement over their children, nuzzling into his fur as he laid beside and wrapped around her. "Now that boy, pure black pelt. His little russet hued tail.. the same coloring as your mother correct? How about Kodlak for him?"You're correct my love, though her marking is over her lower back - Kind of like a widow. I love that name." She said softly. "And lastly, the other multi-hued boy. The black accents fit him well, the brindling too. How about Ruax? I think they're all beautiful."

She nodded in approval to the names of all of their children, leaning back into him gently so the pups could all still feed. A strange feeling began to wash over her, speeding up and then slowing down her heart as she felt her fangs grow longer. "Get some rest, Lucaya. Tomorrow, we will introduce them to our pack. The Hawthorne legacy will reign on. Sleep, my dear. I'll keep watch over our children." "Okay. . ." She said softly, as she leaned back to lick his cheek before resting her head on his shoulder. "...But Nibris?" She questioned softly.

"Before we introduce them, I have something to tell you - And something to ask." Her eyes began to pulse and then steadily glow blood red. "My power is back . . . I'm a true vampire again." She looked to him. "Some things feel different. I'll have to explore this later when I'm not feeding our children." She murmured. "But, I know I am already established as the Vampire Queen . . . Have you thought on if you'd like to be a Vampire too? More so . . . The Vampire King?" She asked softly. "The rule should still apply, that I should be able to turn you. I don't know if there's any dangers like there was before . . . but I can try if you want me to."
