Viviane I was headed to my room when I heard a familiar voice behind me. I was caught by surprise and lost my footing when a hand grabbed my wrist and spun so fast my hair whipped him in his face. He did’t look unfazed as tingles spreads throughout our bodies confirming who the man is. The duke was faster than I thought, hen already had me firmly grabbed by the waist. I didn't realize I was in his arms, again, in the middle of the stares for everyone to see until it was too late. His green eyes peered down at me. Why is it that the more I wanted to get away from him, the more I found myself caught in his arms? “Why are you after me? We should not be seen together. Philip can...”“Philip can what? Think you may be cheating on your arranged husband?” “This is inappropriate and out of place, you’re Grace.” But my words came out more like a whisper. “We need to talk about us.” I couldn't help the sudden heat spreading rapidly through my body like liquid fire. This is getting too far
Paul After Viviane left, I swallowed in one gulp another glass of my Johnnie Walker Reserve. The hot liquid burned down my throat, taking away the pain sensation of the erected dick in my pants. "That woman is going to be the death of me". I exhaled in exasperation. It took all my willpower to hold back the urge to strip her naked and ravish her on the couch. I was at war with myself at the thought of wanting to take her roughly and claim her in the spot. I wanted to buried balls deep inside her to show her who does she belongs to. I throw the empty glass in rage and watch how it shatters into tiny pieces. Almost instantly a maid shows up, “Your Grace, are you all right? She sounded concerned and looked at the floor and then at me, but I stood still like nothing had happened. She gaped and covered her mouth with a hand. “Your, Grace! She was obviously astonished, until today I had always kept composed and in full control of myself, not showing my real emotions. “Clean this mess.”
Viviane I came out of that office like it was the devil himself after me. My face was burning and my body aching everywhere he touched me. It’s a miracle no one saw us or I would surely had many things to explain. It took me just minutes to reach my room get rid of the dress I was wearing, that by the way, is ruined because he ripped one of the straps in an attempt to devour me his meal more easily. I step in the shower and manage to set the right temperature this time. I drenched the sponge with the body wash and scrubbed every each making sure to replace his scent on me. The smell of him all over my body will alert Philip of the closeness with the duke. I was still a little fussed about being alone with that man. He's smashing aura and piercing stare made it difficult to breathe and got disoriented. That's what I keep telling me, did I enjoyed it? I thought maybe as his nephew's betrothed, we would get along but I have to reconsider that, given the fact he's asking me an impos
Viviane “I’m sorry, my Prince.” I bow my head, not wanting him to see my red face. In that moment I felt a finger tilting my head up to meet his hypnotizing icy blue eyes. It was a relief to see him grinning and I breathe a sigh relieved as well. “Don’t worry my love, I'm just teasing you.” He said those words so tenderly that I melted on the spot. My heart made a somersault when he called me his love. Whee! Okay. Viviane, focus. I scolded myself. He didn't remove his finger from my chin and was getting more close now, I could smell his delicious cologne in each inhale I take. I hope I’m not being too obvious because I‘m also gaping. With the difference in our hight, my head almost collides with his toned chest. Ohh, I’ve been longing so much for his touch. Though his proximity gives me goosebumps I’m disappointed that as much as I try, I can’t feel the burst of tingles like Duke Paul makes me feel. Damn him. Just like that, Philip brakes the magic, “Making you aware of your ta
Philip Until today I was hesitant about this compromise. I’ve seen how others countries have turned out in messy situations going through a marriage proposition, they have not been well. Usually the couple live separate lives after having children. That’s one of the ideas of the whole deal, bear a new heir. Without a lineage the bloodline can’t go on to the next generation and so on. But I'll have to thank my parents for this arranged marriage, now that I’ve met Viviane in another perspective I think this actually might work. She is so beautiful and intelligent, and has this naive aura surrounding her that makes her look even more gorgeous. My uncle was right, I’m lucky to be married to her. The first time I saw her I thought she wasn’t my type, I like tall blonde women with big tits and she is the opposite, barely 5 '6, curvy and a brunette. I was just going to go with the flow and act my part, but when I saw her walking to me in the gardens to take what is going to be our lov
Philip I led Viviane inside making sure we were not dripping the floor as we took the stairs to my bedroom. She doesn't know where I’m leading her but I will make my move sooner than later. We are going to get married in a couple of weeks, so what gives. She practically is my wife. I’ve seen the desire in her eyes, I’m not blind or dumb either to realize she holds a crush on me, but her secret is safe with me, I won't sell her out. I laugh to myself because she is so young and naive. She is 21 and I’m nearly 25 years old but I’ve seen and done many things in life to know she is still pure. The thought of having her for the first time has my dick straining in my pants, so I hide the growing bulk with the towel. “Philip, where are you taking me?” She glanced at me quizzically and stood in the middle of the hall like someone afraid of continuing the path I was taking her. “Come, I want to show you something.” I said, trying to convince her to continue walking as I nudged her to pr
Viviane POV I’m so excited today we are going to do the love story for the wedding. Everything looks perfect and I know I will have a good time doing the photoshoot for the magazine. The sky is clear, there are no clouds, just the sun reaching its highest point. Although the weather is kind of chilly, perhaps not the best choice to be outside in the cool breeze of Spring in a Vera Wang chiffon dress, but the cold doesn't bother me anyway. Philip’s warm body envelopes me when the photographer orders us to step closer to each other in an affectionate pose so he can take a few snaps. I break the pose faking a sprained ankle from standing too long wearing new heels but my fiancé is very attentive with me and massages the “affected area”. It feels almost like a dream come true when we kiss. I don't want to wake up anytime soon, but like all good things, my dream did not last long and came to an end. We were walking to meet the photographer back in the palace when the garden sprinklers t
Alpha Atticus POV “How’s the stalking going?” I look over my shoulder and see my Beta approaching the security console. The fucker sports a smug smile after hours of being with his mates. Surely he left them exhausted. “If you come in here to make me feel less of a man for not taking my mate with me, I will not hesitate to send you to the dungeon for the night, Beta.” His smile erases from his clean face immediately. He cleared his throat and muted “Sorry, Alpha.” Then he shows his neck in obedience to me. Much better. We may have been brought up together like brothers, his father was my father’s Beta as well, we are all here more like family but I’m his Alpha not a playmate.I returned my eyes to the screens in front of me. As head of security for the Prince I have remote access to the cctv palace’s surveillance systems. I said I would take a few days off to think thoroughly about my mate's situation but could not stay away from the fact that I left her alone at the mercy of Philip
Viviane POV This big round belly is so heavy that I wished for the babies to keep growing but outside the womb. Selene heard my prayers because the Females Beta and I were having a big gender reveal party at the packhouse when I started to feel the contractions kicking in. They were happening too close to be ignored and I was rushed to the town's hospital. We had planned for a birth in the city but transportation in my estate is too risky. As soon as we arrived at the ER I had all the medical staff on me. This is a hospital save for shifters and they were expecting me to rush me in the labor room the moment I came through the door. What I thought was going to be a smooth birth has turned into a few hours of continuous tight constractions. “Ugh! Fuck, this hurst! How close I’m I? I fucking feel drained already and these babies don’t seem to want to come out.” I cursed agitated between pants of air. I’m a mess of sweat and tears. Strands of sticky hair are plastered over my forehead.
Alpha Atticus POVWe extended our honeymoon vacations until the end of Summer. The change in the weather was noticeable when we came back. The temperature is dropping and the breeze is more chilly in the mornings, the leaves are falling and preparations for Winter are being made. As soon as Viviane felt ready and settled down with her duties as the new Luna I gathered everyone to tell them the good news. Viviane is wrapped in a warm shawl, I have my arm around her shoulders and have her pressed to my chest in a comforting way. We stand in the front stairs of the mansion, from here I address our pack members. We could have asked for the town’s hall but we wanted the announcement to be more close and personal.“Thank you all for being here on such short notice.” I began to say, scanning the group but was suddenly interrupted. “Sure, we don’t want you to summon us with your Alpha command.” A voice came from the crowd and a chorus of laughter erupted.Is Roger, a man in his thirties, ju
Atticus POV One month later After the trials and settling things in the pack, Viviane and I were able to resume our honeymoon. I brought her to Santorini like she wanted after we had to cut short our plans when we were called to be present for the sentences of the people who attacked my pack and territory. I would have wanted Prince Phillip, the group of hunters that survived the attack and Lord von Thiessen to be punished under werewolves law but I’m glad they all received a heavy sentence after all. Viviane was able to heal Phillip’s tormented soul but the court decided it was best if he stepped down as the next Crown Prince and moved out of the palace. He will be stripped of his allowance and will have to find a job once he completes a series of counseling meetings and receives therapy in a specialized asylum off the coast of France. In the end he accepted the sentence and will have to spend the rest of his life under state surveillance. It will be difficult for me to see him j
Luna Minerva POV Back to the present, I blink my eyes rapidly a few times refusing to shed one more tear. After so many years, the memories of that night still haunt me. I wish I could get away from all this, forget my past. I did not realize I had closed my eyes and when I opened them, the people in the room were looking at me with long faces. “Don’t look at me with pitiful eyes. I know it was not a nice memory, but don’t feel bad for me, please.” The least I want is for my son to get upset. Because of me, he stepped into the title of Alpha too early and had to manage the pack alone. Because of me Viviane almost died and it’s my fault Erick assaulted Greenway pack looking for me. He teamed up with Philip, both men wouldn’t let go of the women they shouldn't want. “What happened next, Luna Minerva?” Viviane asks and my attention turns to where she is now sitting on Atticu’s lap. The ever protective gesture of an Alpha to his Luna. “You can just call me mother, dear. Do you me
Young Luna Minerva Flashback from her first encounter with Lord Erick von Thiessen I have just turned eighteen. I shouldn’t have gone running by myself. My father admonished me so many times that no respectful she-wolf must go wandering alone in the woods. But I didn’t want to listen, I’m not an ordinary she-wolf, I’m an Alpha female. Strong and skillful in battle. Even if I’m not meant to hold the title of Alpha, my father taught me well how to defend myself and I’m as good as any of my pack’s warriors. But I wasn’t prepared for him, for my fated mate. My mother’s worst nightmare came true, I was bonded to a human. I knew he wasn’t a werewolf from the moment my eyes set on him swimming in the lake. He came out of the water. Naked. I froze at the sight before me. I watched in awe the droplets going down his magnificent toned muscles. For a human, he is well endowed and hairy too. Oh, my, I can imagine myself running my fingers up and down those abs. Apparently, I ogled him for
Former Luna Minerva POV A sudden commotion takes over the courtroom. The flashes of cameras are blinding me. I hear the reporters asking questions and wanting to interview me for what I’m assuming is the news of the moment. The security guards struggle with them, I don’t feel threatened, I know they won’t allow the reporters to get near me. “Order, order.” The judge calls out. “This is a private matter, we’ll have to take a recess. Escort Lord Von Thiessen back to his cell.” For the first time in my life I want the earth to open and swallow me whole. I stare at Erick, he is calm after blurting out that we are mates, he is the kind of man capable of keeping his emotions collected. I hear the judge but his words fade to the back of my mind. His expression was stern but his heartbeat was fast. I thought he would collapse on the floor. I wouldn’t want that, I don’t want to see more people hurt because of me. “Tell me, mother, who is he?” Atticus asks, by the way he pronounces the w
Alpha Atticus POVTwo weeks laterWe went away for our honeymoon two days after the wedding. It was supposed to be a three week trip to Greece but we had to cut it short because we were summoned by the palace to be present for the trials.“I don’t know why they wouldn’t wait for us to finish our honeymoon. What kind of people dare to interrupt a newlywed couple’s retreat?” Viviane exclaims with exasperation.“The kind of people who think they are above anyone else, my love. You know how the royals can be, Viviane. Don’t let that surprise you.” I hug from behind, the rush of spark soothes her.“I know, but it is unjust and rude to make us leave so soon. We finally were going to visit Santorini and now I have to wait to God’s know when to return.” Viviane crosses her arms and looks away.I stir her around to face me. She makes a pout and I spank her ass, “Viviane, stop acting like a brat.” I say sternly.“Ouch! Stop treating me like a child. No more spanking.” She says definitely, her w
Viviane POV I opened my eyes and realized it was morning already, correction, it must be midday because I had to shield my eyes from the blinding light coming from the sliding doors. Someone must have forgotten to close the curtains. Again. I feel the sheet sliding off my skin and the movement of the mattress tells another thing, I’m naked and I’m not alone. But how did I get here? All I remember is that I… “Good morning sweetheart, did you sleep well?” Atticus' gravely voice snapped me out of my thoughts, making me crane my neck to see his god chiseled body beside me lying sideways with one arm propped on the mattress. The sun casts a glow on his skin making it look like he is made out of caramel. I can’t deny he is so delectable that I’m almost drooling and want to lick him from head to toe. And guess what, he is naked too. The black satin sheets barely cover his V-line abs, letting me appreciate his muscular and toned body. “Are you done checking me out, princess? Or perhap
Viviane POV “Quick, take her inside and undress her, she could shift anytime now.” I heard someone give instructions to the house Omegas to get me to a room on the first floor and start undressing me. I believed it was Atticus, who was carrying me in his arms. Sparks erupted all over my body and I wanted to cry of joy. ‘It happened! The bond was restored.’ Harmony wiggled her tail in excitement. But soon the tingles I felt before were gone. Replaced by a set of foreign hands undressing me. They leave me completely naked, there is no use leaving any garment on as it will be torn anyway. I wanted to open my eyes and shout at them to leave me alone but I was no longer in control of my own. "Is my female hungry?” Zeus asks. “Famished! Viviane did not feed me.” I counter amusingly. “In my defense, I wasn’t feeling well and you did not complain. You said it was alright not to eat anything before the ceremony, remember?” Viviane's voice interrupted my conversation with Zaus. “H
