I look at my mother as she sits next to me on the couch in my office, "tell me Maddon, what is wrong, what have you done." She sits facing me, her eyes scanning my face for some sign of what is wrong, my voice is just above a whisper, "I should have listened to you, when you explained about fated mates, I should have done the right thing, but I thought I knew better, I thought I knew what I wanted better than the goddess." Her eyes softened at me, "son, tell me what you've done," her hand took mine and she rubbed it. I inhaled deeply, "I found her 5 years ago, she was still very young, the night I shifted and went to see Melody." Her eyes widen, "Maddon, it's Melody, that's fantastic, you've always wanted her to be your mate and Luna, I don't understand, why..." I shake my head stopping her from continuing, "it's not Melody Mom, it's her little sister, Ashley." "Oh Maddon, I've watched you around that poor little girl, you've been nothing but horrible to her, why, son, why would
A soft knock on the door startles me as I come out of the ensuite, I punch in the code and open it a crack, peering out to see who it could be. Eve stands there with a wide smile on her face, "Lady Ashley, I'm here to give you a tour and perhaps we could do a bit of shopping in the boutique's on the lower levels."My eyes go wide, "seriously, you have boutiques inside the castle?" She nods as I held up my finger, singnaling for her to wait a minute. I went to my backpack and remov some of the money I had taken from my father's stash, shove it in my pocket and step out into the hall. The tour of the castle tskes 3 hours and we still haven't gotten to all of it, we head to a boutique and her eyes glaze over. I was looking at some of the thermal geer for outside use, when she approaches me, "Lady Ashley, I've been informed that we need to purchase a gown for this evening. The look of horror on my face made her giggle, "not to worry, I'll help you get ready." I open my mouth to ask
I stared at the clock on my nightstand, waiting for it to move 3 minutes, I stand and look at myself in the mirror once again, pull on my black suit jacket over my taylored white shirt and head to her room. I knock lightly on her door and wait patiently as I hear the code being punched in, my hands are sweaty and my heart is pounding out of my chest. I inhale deeply, trying to calm myself, "get a grip, your not a kid for goddess sake." The door opens, I can't breath, the beauty that stands in front of me literally took my breath away a genuine smile curls on my lips, my eyes fall from her face and slowly drift down taken her in to the bottom of her dress and slowly move upwards, I hear a giggle, "hey my face is up here?" I chuckle at her, "you're breathtakingly beautiful, Lady Ashley." Her cheeks heat up and I notice she isn't wearing much makeup, leaving her natural beauty on full display. I put my arm out for her to hook hers to and she does, my heart flips in my chest on the
I ran out of the pack house and jumped in my car, calling the neighboring pack for access. It took 2 hours but when I arrived Alpha Jax of the Silver Moon pack was waiting. He extended his hand to me, "Alpha Maddon, what's so important that you needed immediate access to my pack?" I shake his hand, "a she-wolf, actually my Gamma's little sister went missing and we're all looking for her, she's been gone about a week." Alpha Jax's brow arched, "a week and you've just started the search?" I rub the back of my neck, "they thought she had went to a friends house, but now they know she's gone, whether she left of her own accord or under suspicious circumstances we're not sure. What I would really like is access to the neutral land between the packs, perhaps she went that way." He smiles, "sure, I'll send some guards with you to help you search." I turn to walk through the fields, when several guards came running up behind me, along with Alpha Jax, "I thought I'd tag along, extra ey
Seeing him standing in a black suit, his black hair pulled back away from his face, his dark blue eyes twinkling as he takes me in, makes my heart flip in my chest. His deep baritone voice sends shivers down my spine as he tells me how beautiful I look. I take his arm and we chat as we go up to the tower, just us, alone. I know he thinks I'm worried about him being alone with me, but if I'm being truthful, from the moment I laid eyes on him in the foyer, I've wanted to stay attached to him. I don't know what's come over me, I've never felt this way with anyone. I'm scared not for what he will do, but what I will do if given the chance. When I was laying in bed earlier, his face appeared the moment my eyes shut, his voice echo'd in my mind as he told me how he would pursue me and now he truly is. He opens the door and I step inside the tower, "it's amazing, you did this," there's a table against the wall, set up with a french lace table cloth, fine china and crystal, with gold c
Her smile never fades as she closes the door to her room, it's 2a.m. and my heart is soaring to the moon. I know I'm moving too fast, but I want her to be my mate, my Queen. I lean against her door not wanting to move too far away from her. I listen as she crawls into the bed and I see her light go out. I wake the next morning, a smile curls on my face as I go towards my ensuite to shower and ready myself for the day. I open my door and head straight to hers, knocking as I lean against the door jamb waiting for her to open the door. I'm disappointed when she doesn't open it, I knock again and then punch in the code and open it. I call out her name but there's no answer. I enter and walk to the ensuite, knock at the door and again no answer. I move out of her room as panic sets in and run down to the dining hall. I enter and stand in the archway, scanning the room and then I hear her giggle, my head turns in the direction and she's with Eve talking as she sips on a cup of cof
My mind is a jumbled mess, the woman I wanted as my mate and Luna has just dropped the biggest bucket of ice water on me, "I'm pregnant." My mother's look of disappointment will haunt me for the rest of my life. I release Melody and kiss the top of her head, "I'm happy really, but I do have something to take care of, we can talk tomorrow and figure out what our next steps will be." Her eyes blink at me, "next steps," she sneers, "more like setting the date for our union is the next step since I'm carrying the heir of this pack." She stands with her hands on her narrow hips, glaring at me. I run my hand threw my hair and nod, "that's what I meant, but for now I need to take care of something important, pack business." She smiles as she takes my hand and places it on her flat stomach, "we will be so happy Maddy, all our dreams are coming true, everything you ever wanted is right here, me and our pup." I smile at her and kiss her lips quickly, "yes, everything I wanted." I roll
He stalks me like prey in his office and the excitement I feel is thrilling, "Liam," I breath out his name is a whisper as he grabs me by the waist, lifting me in the air and my back slams into the wall. My legs instinctively wrap around his waist to hold me in position so I don't fall. His dark blue eyes twinkle as his lips crash into mine. My arms wrap around his neck as my hands tangle into his long black hair, his lips leave my mouth and he peppers my neck with tantalizing kisses and nips. I pant for air as my body burns with desire for his touch, he squeezes my ass and my hips move, grinding against his large, hardened member. I gasp as I smell my own arousal in the air and feel my cheeks heat. His tongue glides up my neck to my ear, circling it, his warm breath fans it and a shiver runs down my spine to my core. His voice is soft and silky, "little kitten, you're so fucking sexy," he nips my earlobe and I whimper. He pulls me off the wall, as I cling to him like a koala
