Denera“Leave and don’t let me ever set eyes on you again,” Rockan ordered and I felt my heart sink in an instant. My breathing quickened and my eyes shut close as I tried to hold back my tears. It felt like I was being rejected all over again, my whole body was going to fall apart, and I wanted the earth to open up and swallow me. “Yes, Alpha,” Bruno responded and a forced sigh left my mouth. I opened my eyes to see Bruno walking away from us and I couldn’t help a smile that grew at the corners of my lips. I was holding my breath, bracing for the fallout, but Rockan's words were not directed at me. I opened my eyes, blinking away the tears, and saw Bruno walking away. Relief flooded through me, a small smile tugging at the corners of my lips. But the reprieve was short-lived as I turned my gaze back to Rockan. His expression was one of obvious displeasure, his eyes narrowed and mouth set in a hard line. "You have an ex-mate?" The low rumble of his voice sent fresh shivers of fe
Denera“Also, as a gift for your new position as Luna. I’m giving you a blank cheque. Ask for anything and I will see to it that it is done.”The room felt heavy with the echoes of the celebration outside. The ceremony had not ended yet. Laughter and music filtered through the thick wooden door, but the sound seemed distant, almost otherworldly. The world outside felt like a different realm, separated from the emotions swirling within me.I took a deep breath, trying to calm the storm that had been brewing since I laid eyes on them—Bruno and Freya. I never believed I would even set eyes on them so soon. Then Bruno had the audacity to approach me. Rockan cleared his throat, drawing me out of my thoughts, his presence a steadying force. The sight of him, with his imposing figure and that ever-present mask had always brought a strange mix of comfort and unease. He was my mate, my Alpha, but also a man of many secrets—secrets I hadn’t yet uncovered. But tonight, he had just offered the
DeneraI missed his touch so badly.His kiss deepened, his hand moving to the back of my neck, pulling me closer. I responded in kind, my arms wrapping around him, holding on as if letting go would mean losing his touch forever. There was a desperation in our kiss, a need that had been building for so long, finally finding its release.When we finally pulled away, both of us were breathless, our foreheads resting against each other's as we tried to catch our breath. Rockan's hands were still on me, his touch grounding me, reminding me that this was real, that he was real."Denera," he whispered, his voice rough with emotion. "I've been waiting for this moment, for the ceremony to be over, so I could finally hold you like this. But I also don't want to rush you. We have all the time in the world now."I shook my head, a small smile playing on my lips. "I don't want to wait anymore. I've waited my whole life for something like this, for someone like you. And now that I have you... don't
Tyris“Lord Tyris, slow down,” Serena cried out. She was actually crying. I had her in my clutch for less than thirty minutes and I could already see tears dropping from her eyes. Pathetic. “Shut up!” I ordered, my hand meeting with her cheek and tapping it profusely. Grabbing her legs, I hung them on my shoulders, shoving my length even deeper inside her as she screamed out. I couldn’t even tell if she would actually survive or pass out but I knew I was enjoying her moans, screams, and cries. She came twice already and I still was not done with her. Heck, she wasn’t here to be pleased. She came here, voluntarily, to please me. I warned Serena often but she always came back here for more, so no matter how much she begged or cried out for me to stop, she knew I never listened until I was satisfied. Knowing this, she could have easily avoided me, to equally avoid my wrath on her in bed, but for some reason, Serena always came crawling back. “Maybe she has a pain kink?” Nile, my w
Denera I shuffled around the bed, every muscle in my body hurt but it was worth it and I would do it all over again. The sun had risen and I could hear birds once again chirping happily. A huge smile formed on my face and I turned on the bed again before opening my eyes. My expectations were cut short and my smile dropped a bit when I noticed the other side of the bed was empty. Rockan?I sighed, coming to the conclusion that even after the mating ceremony yesterday, he still didn’t sleep in the same room as me. “Good morning, little mate," Rockan's familiar voice called out, drawing my attention away from the empty space beside me on the bed.I quickly sat upright, clutching the bed sheets to cover my naked form as I turned to face him. A wide smile spread across my face at the sight of my mate, freshly emerging from the shower. His hair was still damp, water droplets glistening on his chiselled physique, and I felt a familiar warmth blossom within me."Good morning, Rockan," I
RockanA low growl erupted from me when I heard my grandmother from across the other side of the door. “Go away!” I demanded, hoping she obeyed. I pulled Denera back closer to me, needing to have her wrapped around me again. “Rockan,” she called out and I sighed, knowing she was going to protest now. “Shouldn’t this be our honey moon or something?” I frowned, face-palming myself. “It doesn’t apply to rulers of an entire kingdom!” Grandma yelled out, eavesdropping on our conversation. “Everyone could hear the both of you from the farthest pack last night!”I watched Denera’s eyes widen in embarrassment and I smirked down at her, remembering how loud her moans were last night. It felt good knowing I made her feel that way, and it felt better to know everyone else heard everything that went on. “Fine. Give us a moment,” I sighed out, pushing myself out of the bed to get myself a shirt. “Is anything serious happening today?” Denera asked and I shrugged. “I’m not sure for now. But I
Denera"Oh, my dear Denera! Look at this exquisite hand-stitched cradle!" Granny Yeneva exclaimed, her voice practically vibrating with excitement as she held aloft a tiny, intricately carved cradle. "It's made from the finest oak, imported from the heartwood of the Whispering Woods. Such craftsmanship! It's perfect for a little prince or princess."I smiled politely, trying to suppress a yawn. The sheer volume of baby-related gifts was starting to feel overwhelming. It wasn't that I didn't appreciate the thoughtfulness, but the endless stream of tiny clothes, rattles, and bassinets was beginning to feel a bit repetitive."It's beautiful, Granny Yeneva," I said, trying to sound enthusiastic. "I'm sure it will be well-loved."Granny Yeneva beamed, her eyes sparkling with delight. "Oh, I have no doubt about that, my dear. You and Rockan will make the most wonderful parents."I glanced at Rockan, who was seated beside me on the plush velvet cushions, his expression unreadable. He had bee
Denera “We finally found a teacher who could teach you about your powers.”Excitedly, I stood at the entrance gates of the castle, wondering who the teacher was. I was so carried away with the Luna ceremony that I had almost forgotten about the side of me that healed people with a touch. "Who is it?" I asked, my voice barely a whisper, as I paced back and forth, my gaze fixed on the imposing castle gates. "Tell me, Rockan, who is this teacher?"Rockan chuckled, his amusement tinged with a hint of exasperation. "Relax, Denera," he said, his voice laced with a warmth that always calmed my nerves. "You're practically vibrating with excitement."He reached out, his hand gently cupping my cheek, his thumb tracing the soft curve of my jawline. "I know you're eager to learn, but there's no need to rush. We'll have plenty of time for you to explore your abilities."His touch, so familiar, so comforting, did little to quell the storm of emotions swirling within me. My mind raced, conjuring i
