Listening to her throw out a Queen's command gave me goosebumps, ordering that psycho mut to accept her rejection. I lean against the wall next to his cell as he struggles against it, remembering she just called me sexy and a smile curls my lips. He finally accepts it through gritted teeth and I push off the wall and her scent hits me like a freight train, it's more intense and highly intoxicating. Zeus howls in my head, "MINE," and in two strides I'm standing in front of her as she shouts at the same time I do "MATE." She jumps at me and I pull her up, as she locks her legs around my waist and her arms around my neck, staring into each others eyes, I feel the mate bond snap into place. Our lips crash together in a heated kiss and I thank the goddess for this blessing while I devour my mates lips and tongue. A growl breaks our kiss and we both look into the cell as Maddon glares at us, I don't hold back my laughter as I carry my mate out of the dungeon. I let her down gently on
Laying in my own bed in my old room I stare at the ceiling, anger still pumping through me about his comments. I turn looking out the window at the night sky, filled with stars twinkling at me and a groan leaves my lips. I just don't understand how he could think for a second that I would have some other reasons for asking they not kill Maddon. Does he think I want that psycho in my life, does he think that bond made me stupid, like I would forget the way he treated me. I turn from the window and get up, sleep is not coming to me not for a while yet, I sit on the couch opposite the fireplace and stare at it. I listen to the crackling of the wood as it burns, shaking my head, "why does he think so little of me, that I would want someone that hurt me for so long, just because he was fated to me." I slam my hands on the cushions at my sides, "does he think so little of me, to think my heart could be swayed by a bond, or those words Maddon spoke in his cell? Does he think the feel
Our first night with our fated bond, sleeping alone was the furthest thought in my mind. A night that would have been magical turned into a night of sleeplessness and pure torture of the mind. I open the doors to my balcony and stand in the frigid night air looking at the stars twinkle in the black sky, shaking my head, I should just go to her, bend my knee and beg for her to forgive me. I've been pacing this room for hours, been at her door over 20 times only to turn and come back to my room. Why didn't I just leave it alone, why did I have to say it out loud, she only wanted to save her sister and his mother from anguish. I could have accepted it, if I hadn't have seen a glint of sadness in her eyes. She was probably feeling sad for Melody, losing her dreams, but no I had to make it about her wanting him. I lay in the bed and put my arm over my eyes, does she want him, she wouldn't have given me all of her, she wouldn't have accepted a union with me, if she wanted him. She w
I don't know when I fell to sleep, withering in the pain of her rejection when everyone left me snickering about it. I wake to the voice of my Beta, "Alpha, it's me Beta Brian, I've brought you some food."I stand and look up at the window, it's dark but I can clearly see him, "thanks Brian," I grumble out hoarsly. He lowers the food to me and I take it greedily, bread and water doesn't last long. I open the cloth and find 1/2 a roasted chicken and devour it within minutes, putting the bones back into cloth and throwing it up towards the window, he catches it. His voice is low, "Alpha, they've made Luke your replacement and the King and Queen have left, I'll be able to get more food to you now and perhaps we can figure out a way to get you out of there."My brows crease, "Luke is the new Alpha? Why not you?"He snorts, "I think the King picked Luke, he is fucking Luke's fat ass sister," he gulps, "sorry Alpha Maddon, old habit's die hard."I sigh, "yea," I pause thinking, "did t
I shudder, tears fill my eyes, "I love Liam with all my heart and soul, but when he accused me of requesting Maddon not be killed for myself, I just couldn't stand him at that moment." I take my hand from hers, "I thought about it most of the night and ....." The door swings open and Liam walks in a huge smile on his face, holding two covered dishes with two bottles of juice pinned between his huge bicep and chest, "Good morning my beautiful mate, my heart, my Queen," he places the dishes down on the coffee table and offers his hand to Eve. She looks up at him as he leans and takes her hand and pulls her up, "I love you dear sister, but out you go," he walks her to the door and she turns at the door looking at me. My eyes are wide as I watch, I'm speechless and taken back with his arrival and behavior. I stand and my feet move on their own towards him. He shuts the door as Eve's mouth is about to speak. He turns, his smile gone, his beautiful blue eyes plead with me as he goes
I chuckle as I sit at my desk remembering the look on my sister's face when I swung the door open in my full glory, her eyes wide as her face turned red as a beet, staring at me she shoves a bouquet of flowers at me and a box of chocolates and turned quickly running down the hall towards the stairs mumbling, "I can't unsee it, oh goddess." That was 2 weeks ago and she still hasn't looked me in the eyes, I shake my head and pull up my itinerary for my upcoming visits. A knock at my door and it opens, my eyes lift from the screen to see Royal Beta Kirk walking over, "Good morning your Majesty," he bows his head in respect. I continue to look at my itinerary, "Good morning Kirk, how are things going with the renovations our Queen has asked for?" He sits, "well, the furniture for the heirs bedroom arrives in a few days and she's drawn up a contract that you may want to look at for the females to all sign, it's different than what she had proposed." I arch a brow to him, "different ho
Three weeks ago I followed Santos back to where their so-called pack lived within the dense forest, the overhead was so thick the night sky wasn't visible, I knew it would be different but what I found astonished me. "We're here," he said as I took in my surroundings there was nothing, there were no homes, no tents, no makshift housing.I turned my head back to him to find just the two of us standing there, the rest of his group was no where to be seen, I shrug at him, "We're here? there's nothing."He pointed his finger at me than up, my head followed and that's when I noticed above my head within the dense tree cover, huts and walkways with people standing on them all looking down at us. I heard a twig snap and turned quickly to find a man standing behind me, he was my height, shaved head, brown eyes and a goatee, he was thick with muscle and tattoo's covered his torso. His eyes went from me to Santos, "who's this and why did you just walk him in here?"Santos put his hand on my
I walk towards the children's cafeteria with Melody and Eve, "Today is the day I've prepared for and I'm not going to lie, I'm scared to death."Eve side eyes me, "you'd be a fool if you weren't."Melody squeezes my hand, "it's all for the best and who knows perhaps some may feel as you do, it's not like your giving them a death sentence," she shrugs.I laugh as Eve opens the door and I look at the room filled with every female Lycan of child bearing years, I gulp as all heads turn staring at me. I put on my best smile as I walk inside, feeling like caged prey in a room filled with starving wolves. I walk to the front, "good morning ladies, I'm sure your all wondering why I've asked to speak with all of you? If you'll all sit, I'll explain and we can get started...."I tall woman with a small baby bump stands alone as the rest sit, "your Majesty," she bows her head slightly to me as she walks towards the front where I'm standing, "with all due respect," she says with a bit of venom
10 years later -“That’s wonderful sweetheart, Daddy and I will be heading back home in a couple of weeks, and we can celebrate then, we love you too say hello to Brandon for us,” I hang up, licking my lip as I watch my bronzed god as he walks out of the salty water the sun glistening the drops as they slowly move downward as he saunters, flexing his muscles with every step. He lands on the blanket next to me, “so how’s our princess doing,” he says as his hand skims over the waistband of my swimsuit bottom.I giggle, “I’m still ticklish,” I swat at his hand, “she’s fine and our grand pups are missing us and we need to hurry home.”He laughs, “fat chance of that happening,” he kisses my neck and whispers in my ear, “I’m having too much fun with my mate to worry about her or our grand pups.” He hovers his head over mine, “hungry, let’s go get some lunch and then I need some sweet cream for dessert.”My eyes go wide, “you’re insatiable,” then a sexy smile adorns my face, “and I love it
I sat against the cold stone wall reading the book that Melody brought me the last time she was here about the latest gold rush in Alaska. I’ve lost track of how long I’ve been in this cell and truthfully don’t know if I ever want to leave it. My wolf Zion has gone dormant and hasn’t spoken to me in years, I’m not even sure if he is still with me or not. I used to shift inside the cell and try to give him some time, but then he refused to come out, being caged only made him depressed, he was born to run and hunt. I know it’s his nature to want to do those things, so I left him alone. He did talk to me about Ashley and why he couldn’t mark her, she used her Queen’s command, and he couldn’t go against it. He told me that he enjoyed his time with me most, until I became obsessed with Ashley even after knowing she was the Queen, he understood, but didn’t agree with my actions. That was the last conversation I had with him. I shake my head and continue reading when a hear light foot
I stand in the tower waiting for Liam, I’ve recreated our very first date, wearing the same green gown as that night, the stars shine brightly out the window, and the moon is almost full. In a few days, Liam will no longer be King and our son, Brandon will take his rightful place within the Kingdom. Liam promised me a fairytale life and has delivered more than that, our two beautiful children are the 2nd best part of my journey with him, he of course, is the ultimate best part of it. Without him they wouldn’t exist, nor would I, I’m afraid.I smile as I hear him approach and the door opens, I turn holding 2 glasses of wine and he smiles at me, “did you do all this for me?”I hand him a glass and wink at him, “I’d be lying if I say yes, I did all this for us.”I look at the man that I willingly gave my heart, body and soul to and never once regretted it, his eyes rake over my body and a sexy smirk plays on his lips, “that dress has me just as crazy for you right now as it did that ni
I stand here looking at the loves of my life, my little kitten is dressed in a royal dark green gown that matches her dazzling eyes that sparkle each time she looks at me and my heart flips with each glance. Our daughter, Pasley stands at her side in her royal sky blue dress, that sparkles with each step she takes. Their beauty is incomparable as is the love that I hold for each. I watch as they effortlessly move amongst the guests, stopping to greet all that they pass. My mind wanders to the day our sweet princess was born, 18 years ago, how nervous I was when we were in the airplane, thousands of feet above the ocean and away from land when my final thrust into my kitten and a gush of fluid came out of her core. Her words still make me chuckle, “guess she wanted to join the mile high club.”Ashley’s voice enters my mind, “earth to my King, it’s time you dance with your daughter.”I shake my head and look out into the crowd, Pasley stands in front of me, her smile is my own as he
"Waiting is the worst part of these things," I chuckled as I raised my glass to Luke. He side eyes me and grunts as his eyes are plastered to the French doors leading to the garden. "Don't worry, she'll be there and soon you'll be hilt deep inside her."He growls, "not funny, seriously I'm dying here."His Beta Tristin laughs, "Alpha Luke, you'll be fine, just remember she's my baby sister and I don't want a play by play of what happens later," he grimaces, and I can't help but laugh.Her scent hits me and I see my beautiful Queen enter the garden from the side door, Brandon sits on her hip in his little tuxedo, and I watch as every female here fawns over our boy. I inwardly roll my eyes knowing it will take her too long to get to me. I place my empty glass down and stride over to her, ignoring everyone in my path, "My Queen," I smile at her as she turns around, I adore the way her beautiful dark green eyes twinkle every time she looks at me, I extend my hand to her and she takes i
I’m thrilled when my brother calls, but he decided to call just as Brandon finally settled for his nap and I mind linked Liam to come play with me. Having a child that is teething and cranky most of the time and crying most of the night. Our alone time is becoming non-existent and very frustrating for both of us. Luke tells me that his new Beta Tristin has a baby sister who is his mate. She came to visit and now she will be the Blue Mountain packs Luna. Liam walks into the room, and I cannot help but laugh when Luke tells me that he is actually mated to the real Diamond and that she is exactly like me when it comes to sex and heavy petting before the union. I giggle at him, “got blue balls yet?”He chuckles, “from the time I laid eyes on her, I need this union to happen fast, I’m dying here.”I can’t stop laughing as I listen to him complain about not having sex and not even a taste, Liam arches his brow at me and I shake my head, “Luke, you know I’m sure you will live, Liam di
I walk down to the cells with Royal Beta Kirk, “I want to see Serenity first then we’ll go see Maddon.”“As you wish my Queen,” he nods as we continue to walk.We approach her cell and I notice Serenity has lost weight and Grace pushes through, “Child what is wrong are they not feeding you?” Serenity walks to the cell bars and bows her head, “My Queen,” she says with sadness, “my human, she will not be returning, she will not give up her ridiculous notions of having Alpha King Liam.”Grace growls, “then let her go, you will stay in this form, and I will have you removed from this cell, allow her to pass over.” She shakes her head, “she refuses,” she shrugs, “so I will do what is necessary.”I gasp at her words, “Grace is she killing herself because of her human?”Grace growls, “yes, she will not allow her human to harm you or our King.”I look at Royal Beta Kirk, “open the cell.” He does as he is told, and I walk inside and sit on the cot, patting it for Serenity to sit next to me a
Finding a new Beta isn’t the easiest task, but after a few weeks I’ve narrowed it down to 3 candidates and with former Alpha Carl’s input I think Tristin was our best choice. He’s the 2nd born son of a Beta line from another pack, his mate Izzy is our pack's Doctor, they decided together that he would move here. I'm more than grateful for that decision, trying to find a skilled Doctor isn't easy either.He completed his Beta training 6 months ago and is now up to speed with the day’s in's and out's of his position. We both split the Gamma duties and are looking for someone who can do this job up to our standards. I think the pack is moving forward after everything that has happened here. My parents are still oblivious on how to be good parents, and I truly believe that some people just shouldn’t have kids, but at least I have 2 wonderful sisters.Beta Tristin is excited about his baby sister visiting today, she is the only girl in their family, and I’m glad he will get to spend so
My mind whirls as I hear her ask, “Celeste are you, my mother?” Will I be thrown in jail for breaking the rules and leaving so many years ago with her in my belly? Will Alpha King Liam throw me in a cell for abandoning her? Will she hate me even more now that I’ve seen her and not come forward at all? My grip tightens around Brandon who is snuggling into my neck, and I feel the hot pricks of tears gathering behind my eyes as I finally breathe.I nod my head and slowly place Brandon down on the floor next to the toys, looking into the dark green eyes that I love more than the air I breathe I smile, “yes, My Queen I am your mother.”I watch her face as her smile goes wide and she launches herself at me in a crushing hug, my heart fills with joy as my arms engulf her and I inhale deeply into her neck her sweet scent. Tears flow down my cheeks and I can’t stop them, nor do I want to when words just flow out of my mouth, “my sweet girl, how I’ve missed you.” I pull off her and stroke
