Soren POV
Ayla is asleep while Victor and I are sitting at the table, each with a tablet in hand. James' reports are not promising, tensions near the border of the Kingdom of the Wizards are rising.
Several conflicts have arisen and James is trying to sort things out, only James is much more of an action guy than a diplomat... I know I need to send someone to help him.
"Victor... What do you think I should do?" I asked, hoping for an honest answer.
"You could send Charlotte, so she can try to resolve the issue as diplomatically as possible. She's always been a good candidate for this kind of conflict." Victor replied and sighed.
"The problem is that we don't know if we can trust the leaders of the Houses." I poi
Ayla POVI woke up in Soren's arms and leaned a little closer to him, taking in his scent and loving it."Good morning, beautiful," Soren said, his voice husky, and I let out a low moan.Does he know what he's doing to me? That alone made me shiver and want more.Soren gave a low laugh."Excited, are you?" He asked and I lifted my head to confirm.I can feel his hand running up the side of my body and I can already feel my body heating up, I let out another low moan, just to tease him and I see his eyes getting darker."Ayla..." Soren whispered my name and brought his lips close to mine, without looking away. "If you only
Soren POVWe finished breakfast and I gave Ayla a soft kiss on the lips."Have a nice day, my love," I said, and Ayla smiled."You too." She then opened the door.Victor soon followed.I quickly went towards the room Victor had indicated earlier and saw Ishtar leaning against the door, fiddling with her cell phone, and then I looked away from her to see Charlotte appearing in the corridor on the other side. She was expecting something like this, I could see it in her expression.I opened the door for her to pass through and saw the symbols glowing, and soon three wires were coming out of the center of her chest, one black, which linked her to me, one yellowish with a
Soren POVCharlotte stood up, finished cleaning her ears, and then looked at me one last time before bowing and leaving the room.Ishtar is staring at me intently."Strïth, you're full of tricks." I heard the female voice echo.Strïth shrugged, without answering."Are you all right?" I asked. "Aren't you too tired?" I asked."A little, you all have very strong auras," Ishtar replied, taking a flask from her pocket and drinking it, and I saw her energy improve. A simple healing potion. "But we can move on."I nodded and walked towards the door and opened it. Isaac was standing there, with the same expressio
Ayla POV - A week laterI'm looking out of the window, the night has just begun and yet the Castle hasn't been slept in, so now seeing the movement of people downstairs, I remember the times when I woke up early to work and went to bed late, sometimes I couldn't sleep at all.But here, in the Castle, the employees have a work schedule and this wing is pretty empty, and I understand, they want to protect me. Besides, it's really easy to talk to Charlotte, because she knows I'm Soren's mate.So we always discuss this question of how I feel and how I'm progressing and the division of things to do during the day is very balanced, in the morning I train for three hours then I have 30 minutes of rest and I go to my subjects class to continue my academic studies and in the afternoon I train with Ishtar.
Ayla POVSoren then stood up, taking me with him. He put his hands on my ass and brought me over to the bed, carefully placing me there. His hands went to my thigh, underneath the nightgown I was wearing, and began to move upwards, gently caressing my skin.I arched my back, feeling my skin shiver, while our gazes never wavered. I bit my lower lip, because I know he loves it, then let out a low, provocative moan.Soren moved his hands a little higher, and I briefly lifted my ass off the bed so that he could pull my shirt over me. As soon as he reached my belly, he began to run his fingernails along it, making me shiver even more.I can already feel my body reacting, and I start to get wet. The feeling that I need more starts to grow as soon as he gets to my
Ayla POVSoren pushes his fingers inside me a little harder, and I let out a louder moan and pull back the sheet. The wet sound that has begun to echo joins my moans as I feel the pressure in my lower abdomen increase.He's not being gentle, and I love it. My waist moves instinctively, bucking and thrusting against his fingers, making my pleasure grow even more. I pulled the sheet up to my lips and let out a muffled cry, feeling the pressure inside me explode and my body contract."Have you come already?" Soren asked, teasingly, in that cocky tone that only he has.He pulled his fingers out of me and then turned me around and put his fingers to my lips. I immediately started licking and sucking, to clean off all the liquid that was on his hand.
Ayla POVWhen I come back to reality, my body is limp, and I'm out of strength, I feel the vibrator has come out, and I'm in Soren's arms, he's stroking my hair, cradling me, I can feel my face wet from the tears I've shed."That... That was... Intense..." I managed to stammer out.Soren gave a low chuckle."It was, my dear." Soren held my face and gave me a delicate kiss, intertwining our tongues calmly, while I continued to catch my breath.I wrapped my hands around his neck and surrendered to his gentle caresses. I feel so blessed to have someone like him as my mate and I let all that feeling pass through this kiss and I know he can feel my emotions resonating inside him.
Soren POVAs soon as Ayla agreed to spend the night with me, I sent a message to Victor, telling him to stay away until dawn, and that's what my friend did.The night with Ayla was wonderful, I couldn't have asked for anything better, the way she gave herself to me, how we communicated... Everything fell into place perfectly, and in the end, we fell asleep in each other's arms.When I woke up I felt Ayla's body was very cold. At the same time as she was shivering, unconsciously I covered her and I was also practically on top of her, trying to warm her with my own body."Fuck!" I cursed.Ayla has always been very sensitive to changes in Auras, and I just didn't think she'd have such a heavy reaction
Ayla POVEvery step I take away from the imperial bedroom, my heart races, this is a dream come true, and I still can't believe it's really happening. A part of me is afraid that it's all just a dream and that I'll end up waking up on the cold floor of Julian's pack.The aisles are full of flowers that are typical of spring, as this was the first thing I decided, that the theme of the wedding would be the season when most flowers bloom.In addition, of course, to having the flowers from each of the houses, even those that bloom at specific times... Ishtar had already helped me with this, making sure they were all bright and at their peak.I stop at the window to see how happy everyone is, with the music echoing even as high as I am. Most of them are my subj
Ayla POVThe days passed in the blink of an eye, even though I felt weaker with each passing day, as the amount of auras weighed heavily on my shoulders.The potions that fairies give me are very strong and every time I take them I end up sleeping for the whole period, so I started taking them every morning, as soon as I woke up, because it added to the strength that Ghost was feeding me.It was only because of this that I was able to spend the afternoon and part of the evening with my guests and so many races had arrived, the Castle was lit up with so much happiness and so much diversity.Gradually, everyone got on board with the theme of the wedding, "Spring". The flowers have been hand-picked because they symbolize what we are, there are all the flowers
Victor POVSeeing Ayla interact with the rulers of the Faerie Kingdom is history in the making, and I'm sure the other Kingdoms will be more afraid of how gigantic our Kingdom is becoming.The alliance with the Kingdom of the Fairies is something very unexpected, as well as important because their magic is just as powerful as that of the Kingdom of the Wizards and the Witches. It means that in this war we are taking several more steps towards victory.These revelations add to what Ghost has told us. Of course, we're not happy to know that others can see how our bond is doing and that worries me because when the Kingdom of the Wizards and the Witches arrive, it will be very clear and that will make us targets for attacks.My mate's sadness resonates in my ch
Ayla POVI could feel something different as I approached the Hall of Thrones and when we entered it became clearer why there was music in the air, something like what I've heard in some Soul stones, but this one is different.There are so many different voices and I don't understand what they're saying, but I don't need to, because I can feel the emotions they want to convey and as I looked at the Rulers it became clearer that the music came from them and was made for them.The pain is hidden behind happy, fast notes, with a lively beat that the other fairies follow instinctively, and it's almost impossible to perceive the undertones of sadness and melancholy.The voices want to cheer up their Rulers after a sad event, and I can connect with that because I
Victor POVI let my aura flow towards Soren so that he calms down because Ghost is right and Soren hates it when he's challenged. No matter who it was."You're right, Ghost," I said before Soren could say anything. "We really need to decide on the next in command. A lot of decisions have been put on the back burner by all the situations we've been through."Ayla is feeling guilty because she knows that Ghost only did what we asked, and she thinks she could have done more to help him."But this isn't the place for something like that. I'll arrange a meeting in the afternoon with the Heads of Houses and also with the leaders of the strongest Packs in your Kingdom." I continued speaking.Ghost looked at Ayla intens
Ayla POVI wake up and realize immediately that I'm not in the imperial bedroom and the smell of Ghost is everywhere, enveloping me and my heart squeezes because I had hoped this wouldn't have to happen and I couldn't hold back the silent tears that started to flow.I'm feeling so miserable, simply because I'm not strong enough to regenerate on my own. Then I feel a blanket being placed over me, the smell of Soren and Victor is there, and at the same moment, I feel better.It's as if I had betrayed my mates before, but now it's as if they are embracing me and understanding the situation. In parts, I can't believe I have such good and understanding mates.I lay there for a few more minutes before getting up and looking around; the room has a medieval style a
Ayla POVThe days have passed and more and more I feel my body aching and hurting when I take the potions, but at least I'm managing to withstand the auras of the various types of creatures and beings that are arriving to take part in the wedding.Of course, I don't meet all of them, just the most important ones for now and always in the Hall of Thrones, because there I feel much stronger, and I'm not so affected by the auras.Of course, I'm sleeping more and so the surrounding security has doubled. I always have a few soldiers around me when Victor and Soren aren't around. Even with Ghost present, everyone agreed that this extra security would be better.I didn't pass out in any of the encounters, but I was always drained at the end of them. This shows how
Ayla POVThe meeting to choose the flowers was kind of fun, as there are many types and many ways to create bouquets, and it was a bit difficult to choose the ones that made the most sense for the wedding.Of course, there can't be too many magical flowers, as that would add more weight to my aura and probably hurt me more, so I decided on just two flowers around the Castle that mean many things, the Smeraldo and Selene's Tears, even though we have few Tears, it's still an important flower.The two flowers will even make up part of my bouquet, and it's going to be beautiful, I never thought my life would change so much. After all, I was a mere slave, with no prospect of anything but dying.Living only to serve others, without ever uttering a sound or a word
Soren POVThe meeting with the Heads of House was extremely boring, one of the few things I hate about being Emperor, as these meetings can often go on for days, as each one wants to be better than the other and have the upper hand.Although each House had its function within the Kingdom, the Heads always wanted to have a greater influence. Even more so with Skyler's problem, I need to put someone else in charge of the House of Poppies, but the person I choose will be my third-in-command.For a while now, I've been thinking about putting Ghost as my third-in-command and choosing another leader for the House of Poppies, but the problem is that this is going to cause some strife among my subjects, whether they're Heads of House or not.I know the Lycan race w
