Lucern’s POVHow could I ever believe that I could resist this woman? Arousal hits my system instantly as my lips crash down on Jamari’s for a searing kiss. The touch of our lips meeting ignites my desire and sends blood rushing to my swollen cock, making it rock hard in seconds. A thousand years of pleasure would never be enough with my fiery Queen that sets my blood aflame. Jamari lets out a moan of discontent when I pull away from our kiss and place some distance between us so we can catch some much needed air. “As much as I would love to continue, my Sweet.” I pause to suck in a steadying breath, a task made difficult when I catch sight of Jamari’s adorable pout. Releasing a pained groan, I close my eyes against the walking temptation that is Jamari. When my arousal is finally under control, I open my eyes and face Jamari’s disappointed face. “Unfortunately we have a feast to plan, my dear.”Jamari releases a disappointed sigh before nodding her head in agreement, her flaming e
Alpha Queen's Reluctant Mate Chapter 88- Welcome Your Queen
Lucern’s POVExtra seats have been placed behind the King and Queen’s thrones located on the large stage. Four seats have been situated a foot behind our thrones, two on each side of us. The seats are for Levi, Kenji, Remiel, and Morgana as a show of respect to Jamari’s other four mates. It is unprecedented that a King shares his Queen with others, especially so many others, which is why I feel it is necessary to show solidarity between the six of us. The seating arrangements will show my people that they should respect their Queen’s mates, while also showing who has ultimate authority over my domain. Kenji and Levi appear in the center of the banquet hall, both dressed in an expensive suit, looking just as comfortable as they look in regular clothes. Both men are dressed in all black, with a red tie wrapped around their necks to offset the dark color. Their looks draw the attention of the many female servants standing off to the side of the room. Their excited whispers carry to my
Alpha Queen's Reluctant Mate Chapter 89- Kneel Before Your Queen
Jamari’s POVNervous energy moves through my body, gaining strength the longer the feast goes on as if nothing is amiss. Having all of my mates so close to me has kept my nerves from taking over me, with Lucern’s gentle hand on my thigh the grounding that I need to keep my body still. Two courses have gone by without any incident and now we await the main course. The kitchens prepared a delectable soup and salad for the first two courses and I can’t wait to see what they have prepared for the final dish. Just then delicious scents float to me from across the room as rows of servants come waltzing through the doors to my left with their arms filled with plates. The same woman from earlier walks up to Lucern and I with her head down, her cheeks flushed from the crude thoughts that are flowing through her mind. Lucern gives my thigh a gentle squeeze, sensing the stiffening of my body upon the woman’s arrival. Letting out a steadying breath, I force a fake smile on my face and thank the
Alpha Queen's Reluctant Mate Chapter 90- Gather All of the Traitors
Jamari’s POV The rest of the introductions went by in much the same manner as the first first guests or so. As we near the last group of guests that have been waiting patiently for their turn to kneel before their Queen, tiredness starts to set in inside of my body. Andrew and Ruth escorted three more men outside of the banquet room and to a secure location where we are keeping them until we can question them. Aside from the four traitors that I was able to suss out, we had Andrew and Ruth escort around twenty guests randomly to keep suspicion out of our traitors minds. Those guests were personally thanked by Andrew and Ruth and invited to a private dinner with the King and Queen set for tomorrow evening. While I am not looking forward to spending more time acting as their Queen, I acknowledge the necessity of not showing that we are onto the traitors smiling among us. A voluptuous woman suddenly appears in front of me, her giant breast nearly spilling from her low cut dress, wi
Alpha Queen's Reluctant Mate Chapter 91- End of a Feast
Lucern’s POV“How could I turn down such an invitation?” Damian’s voice comes out husky with desire, uncaring of the fact that he is openly desiring his Queen right in front of his King. Anger rises within me at the sight of my woman flirting with another man. Possessiveness never rises inside of me when I watch the others flirt or touch her, but watching this lesser Vampire covet what is mine has my blood boiling. Morgana moves up behind me, her hand moving up to rest on my shoulder gently to cool my rising ire. My body stiffens beneath her touch, a sense of peace washing through me from her touch. Jamari must have a reason behind inviting the loathsome Vampire to meet with her after the feast, I have to have faith in my mate. Relaxing my body, I turn to greet the next guest in line. We make it through the remaining four guests quickly, sending them on their way once they have greeted Jamari. Once all of the guests have been removed from the banquet hall, we all settle into our sea
Alpha Queen's Reluctant Mate Chapter 92- Flushing Out a Motive
Jamari’s POVDamian sits before me with that same smug smile plastered on his face that he had while greeting me in the banquet hall. None of my mates are in the room with us, but there are two guards stationed outside of the door for protection and all five of my mates are waiting in the adjoining room for my signal. Damian’s thoughts are all over the place. They jump from one subject to another quicker than I am able to keep track of and the constant jumping is exacerbating the dull ache that was beginning to form at the back of my head. Damian smiles at me once again. His eyes roam over my body eagerly with unrestrained lust burning brightly in his eyes. The sight of his lust disgusts me, causing bile to rise in my throat. His scattered thoughts mainly revolve around one thing…what I would look like naked. Deciding that I want nothing more than to hurry this along, I set my cup of tea down on the little plate provided, and place a charming smile on my face. Damian immediately pe
Alpha Queen's Reluctant Mate Chapter 93- Not Again
Lucern’s POVI rise from my seat in one of the chairs scattered around the room and begin to pace back and forth within the room. I can not pinpoint what is bothering me, but something does not feel right about Jamari being alone in a room with Damian. I have not had many instances of interacting with Damian throughout the years, but I know he was one of my father’s proteges when I was growing up. It almost felt like they had a closer bond as a father and a son than I had growing up with my father. After my father passed away when I was ten unexpectedly, I kept my distance from Damian, despite his efforts to get close to me.I am not pleased that Damian is popping back up into my life after all of these years now, or that he has his sights set on my Queen. I will allow nothing to come in between us now that I have accepted her place at my side, and my place at hers. Least of all a low level Vampire that has done nothing to help our kind thrive over the years.I turn around sharply, h
Alpha Queen's Reluctant Mate Chapter 94- Lending a Hand
Lucern’s POV“Well how the hell are we going to do that with her being unconscious?” Levi glances down at Morgana with his brows drawn together in a frown. Levi’s question is a valid one. Morgana’s magic relies on sexual pleasure, something we can not offer to Morgana in her current unconscious state. Adam rolls his eyes in Levi’s direction, indicating that the answer to his question should be obvious, which it is, but it is also wrong on many levels. His gaze suddenly turns in my direction, causing me to feel uncomfortable under his stare. He points his finger in my direction as he speaks.“You used to be her lover.” He indicates down at Morgana with his open hand. “Fill up her magical reserve.”My eyes look from him to the others as I take two steps back, my hands held up palm out in front of me. “I am not touching Morgana without her permission.” I glance back down at her for a moment. “It would not be right.” My gaze shifts to Jamari lying beside her. Betrayal rushes through me f

I have decided to end book 2 where it is. Thank you all for your continued support and positive reviews. I will be starting Book 3, the final book in the series, soon and will have it up by next month. I am currently dealing with a family emergency that might make my planned timeline a little longer than I would like so please bear with me as I plan out how to end Jamari's journey. The next book will introduce the last of Jamari's mates and will bring everything that has happened in the last two books to a head as well. I am so grateful to everyone that has stuck by me throughout this journey and I am anxious to see what is in store for Jamari and her mates. All my love, Heidi Monath
Alpha Queen's Reluctant Mate Chapter 138- Loyalty
Jamari’s POV‘Did this fake bitch just say what I think she said?’ My body moves before I can register what is happening. The feeling of my body flying through the air as I launch myself towards where Sabina lays on the floor staring up at Lucern with lovesick eyes. ‘I will rip her still beating heart from her chest.’Something grabs hold of my waist before wrapping their strong arms around the slender area and pulls me close to a hard body. Howard’s scent invades my senses as my enraged mind refocuses on what is happening in front of me. A hand moves up to clamp over my lips in a warning to be quiet. When Howard drops me back to the hardwood floors, I swirl around on him in anger and glare at him. He gives me a sheepish look before turning his attention back to Sabina and Lucern. Letting out a huff of anger, I turn myself back to the bitch as well, plotting out her slow demise in my head as I watch.Lucern stares at her quietly, disbelief clear on his handsome cocoa features. His bo
Alpha Queen's Reluctant Mate Chapter 137- Careful Who You Trust pt. 3
Lucern’s POV“No one is here.” A disappointed look appears on Sabina’s face as we make our way into Howard’s hidden office that only a select few people are able to access. As we look around the large room, we find no one in sight, but I can sense my mate’s scent somewhere in this room, so I know she is here. Before I can call for Jamari to let her know that I can sense her in the room, Sabina suddenly throws herself at me. Her body drapes over mine, sending confusion through my body as she grabs hold of me tightly. The scent of blood fills the room, causing my nostrils to flare as I seek out the scent. Shoving Sabina to the side, I look around the room in search of where the scent of blood could be coming from. Sabina whimpers from behind me, drawing my attention to her direction. Blood flows from her stomach, coating her hands as she presses down on the wound that has blood flowing out of it like a river. My senses go on overdrive as I search the room for the unknown threat that
Alpha Queen's Reluctant Mate Chapter 136- Careful Who You Trust pt. 2
Jamari’s POV“I have brought you here to offer you a warning.” My body stiffens at Howard’s words as a feeling of dread settles in the pit of my stomach. Howard motions for me to take a seat on one of the couches in the sitting area, a serious look taking over his features as he follows me over and takes a seat on a couch that faces the one that I sat on. “I am not the only one on the council that feels that Lucern has made a mistake by taking you as his Queen.” Howard says, an apologetic look pulling at his features. “That was of course before I realized that you would be an asset to the Vampire Realm.” He says, earning a snort from me in response. “I know that does not mean much now, but I do hope you will give me the chance to earn your trust.” A gentle smile appears on Howard’s face as he looks over at me. Even after everything that has been said and done by him recently, I can feel deep in my bones that Howard is telling the truth and that he means me no harm. And if that wasn
Alpha Queen's Reluctant Mate Chapter 135- Careful Who You Trust pt. 1
Jamari’s POV“Some might call you foolish for letting Howard off so easily, my lady.” Nodding my head in agreement, I walk out of the door without looking around at the disapproving faces of the rest of Lucern’s council members. I had originally come in search of Lucern to see what had gotten him so upset all of a sudden, I was not expecting to walk into a council meeting that was about me. “She is right, my lady.” The sound of Howard’s unexpected voice pulls me out of my thoughts, startling me slightly as I jump in place, my hand moving up to grasp the base of my throat in order to calm my nerves. An apologetic look appears on Howard’s face as he moves off of the wall that he was reclining on. “I did not mean to startle you, my lady.” Howard stops his forward movement a few feet away from me, nervously moving from foot to foot as an internal struggle appears on his face. “What is it?” I ask him curiously. Something is clearly bothering the old Vampire and with the way things ended
Alpha Queen's Reluctant Mate Chapter 134- Not So Foolish Queen
Lucern’s POVSilence moves around the room as everyone thinks over Jamari’s question. Removal from the council has never happened before, not in a situation like this at least. There have been times in history where members were not rechosen for the role of council member, but no one has ever been removed mid-term like Jamari is suggesting. Council members, as well as other subjects, have been sentenced to death for less than what Howard has been accused of. Most rulers do not take too kindly to their subjects speaking ill of themselves or their mates. “You do not wish for Howard’s head, my lady?” Sabina asks, an intrigued look on her face. She leans forward in her seat and places her chin on the back of her joined hands. Her brow lifts in interest as she stares over at Jamari and waits for her response.I lean back in my seat and watch as Jamari squirms in her seat, uncomfortable as ever with being the center of attention. Her gaze moves over my council members until her eyes land
Alpha Queen's Reluctant Mate Chapter 133- Did Someone Say Treason?
Lucern’s POV “Don’t do something you might regret for me, my King.” Jamari’s whispered words echo around in my head as I struggle to regain control over the bloodlust that had slowly taken control over my actions. It is not often that I allow myself to get so enraged that the bloodlust takes over, it was something that I learned to control at an early age. Adrian steps up to stand beside Jamari, amusement glinting in those eyes of his as he looks between the two of us. Whispers begin to fill the quiet space all around us, Jamari’s presence soothing the fear that had my council members as still as a statue only moments before. Jamari lifts up her right hand and places it on the arm that belongs to the hand that is still currently squeezing the life out of Howard. Disgust takes over my face as I retract my claws from his neck but do not release my hold from around his neck. Within seconds the deep gashes around his neck has healed enough to stop the flow of blood from continuing to
Alpha Queen's Reluctant Mate Chapter 132- Give Them What They Want
Lucern’s POV“Sire, when are we going to unlock the Vampire Realm? Many of our subjects are complaining about the lack of freedom, and the subjects that are trapped on the outside of the Vampire Realm are starting to get antsy.” The circle of my council of advisors nod their head in agreement at Rudolph’s claim. Count Adrian leans back in his seat, his eyes surveying the older men that sit around us in the conference room that is usually used for conducting business. “Would the people rather we come under attack?” Adrian asks, his brow lifting in challenge. The council at least has the decency to look embarrassed that they had forgotten about the threat. “Has the threat not been subdued?” One of the men speaks up, a glint of mischief blatantly clear in his eyes. Howard is the one council member that I would love to get rid of. He never misses an opportunity to cause issues for me within the Realm and I still have not figured out what his problem is with me. I am the rightful heir t
Alpha Queen's Reluctant Mate Chapter 131- Short Leash
Jamari’s POV“Are you sure that this is a good idea?” Kenji asks the same question that has been asked a hundred times since I told my mates that we need to get into the Fae Realm. “What if us unlocking the Fae Realm is what sets the events that you saw into motion? We can’t be hasty with our decision making.” Kenji’s words make me pause my speed reading of the spell books that Lucern has available in his massive library. A frown scrunches up the corners of my eyes as my brows draw together in thought. My eyes move up to find Kenji’s worried gaze. “I have to be there for him Kenji.” Sorrow fills my words as I am once again reminded of the scene that I watched play out before my eyes. Lifting my head for the first time in an hour, I look around in search of my Demon King whom I have given strict orders not to leave my side until we know for sure that the vision of him dying in that clearly does not come to pass. “Where is Levi?” I ask, sniffing the air to see if I can catch his scent
