Next up, is their first PUBLIC outing as mates! <3 How do you think it will go? I hope you guys liked these last two chapters. Please leave me a comment/review/gem. I'd love to hear your thoughts. Thank you for reading!
LIANI Somehow Auburon’s words soothed me enough to get up and prepare for the day. Honestly, I had no choice, as today was our first outing. But, I could feel through the mate bond just how serious Auburon was about being there with me and protecting me shall the need for it arises. Cassidy and Sierra ushered in to help me with my hair and make-up. They were a little more formal and anxious than usual and I think it’s because they see me in a different light now. Aella and Layla also came to my room so that we could all get ready together for the outing. This will be Aella’s first public appearance and it makes me feel better that she’ll be there. But, I know all eyes are going to be on me. After all, I will be their future queen. I’ve also been thinking about my grandma and if she’s okay since she and my grandpa went back to their house. I wonder what her meeting with Shannara was like and if those burns ever went away. Goddess, I hope she’s okay. After about two hours of getting
LIANI I take his hand and inhale one last time before I step out. Here goes nothing. I think to myself. “We got this,” Iris says. But, I can feel her anxiety too or maybe it’s mine. I’m not sure, but when I step out and grab Auburon’s hand, he smiles at me. I can’t help but feel at ease. The cameras flash as they bombard me with questions and statements. “Prince Auburon, is this your mate?” “Prince Auburon she’s gorgeous!” “Prince Auburon where is she from? Is she from a prestigious family?” The questions kept coming until the wind blew and everyone got a whiff of my scent. Everyone went quiet as they all looked at me with wide eyes. I can see the disgust on some of their faces while others look intrigued… excited even. I gulp and squeeze Auburon’s hand tighter. “It’s okay,” he says ringing through the mind link. But it wasn’t okay. Is he not seeing what I’m seeing? I swallow to hold back the bile that arises in my throat. It was so silent that it felt awkward. Is this even
LIANI Buzzing. Everything was buzzing. “LIANI! LIANI! ARE YOU OKAY? BABY LOOK AT ME. SOMEBODY CALL AN AMBULANCE!” My vision was blurred as I tried to reach for Auburon as he panics. “Mmmmeh- A-aub” “Baby! Baby, you’re okay! Stay with me!” he says grabbing and gently smacking my face. My throat burns from the smoke inhalation that I can’t speak the way I want to. I hear a loud ripping sound, but my vision is too blurred to see it. I search my mind for Iris but I couldn’t connect with her. “I-I I can’t f-ff-find I-I-ris…” I’m able to say one last time before everything went black. “SHIT! WHERE THE FUCK IS THE AMBULANCE! HOW FAR ARE THE GUARDS?! WHY WEREN’T THEY FOLLOWING US MORE CLOSELY!” **** Ten Minutes Prior AUBURON After dinner, in the limo, I can tell that Liani wasn’t present with me. I could tell she was worried about the tour, especially meeting the higher-ups. I could feel her anxiety through the mate bond. I grab her hand and tell her “It’s okay. It's going to be oka
LIANI BEEP…BEEP…BEEP. “Mmmm,” I groan while wiping my eyes. My head is pounding and the light in here is too damn bright. “Lower the lights,” I hear a male voice say. When the lights are lowered my line of vision is able to focus but my ears are still ringing. I’m in a hospital room, with an IV connected to my arm. “How do you feel?” Auburon says as his voice comes into the register. “Like I’ve been hit by a truck,” I say as I try to sit up. I groan in pain from the movement. Auburon’s face pales at my joke. “What happened?” “We were quite literally hit by a truck,” Dorian says. I didn’t even realize he and Layla standing there. Layla looks at me with sadness in her eyes. They’re all puffy and red. Dorian looks extremely tired but also on alert. My eyes meet Auburon’s once again and his eyes are pleading with me like he doesn’t want me to freak out. I scan the room one more time. AELLA! KAYDEN! “WHERE ARE AELLA AND KAYDEN?” I ask as I try to rip the IV out of my arm and move. Aub
LIANI I look around and I stand in white light. There’s nothing here. Is this the sky? Am I in heaven? Is this what the afterlife looks like? I feel a sense of calmness as I stand here. I close my eyes and inhale. When I open them again, I see that I’m standing in a field. There are tons of flowers and beautiful trees. As I look out I see a figure walking towards me. A woman. She has on a white gown with gold bracelets. Her hair is long and wavy, and the color of melted chocolate. Her eyes change colors as they lay on me. First brown, then red, then green, then purple. I feel a closeness with her. I feel drawn to her. “Hello, my child.” Oh, my goddess, it's her. It’s the moon goddess. She smiles and then chuckles. “Walk with me,” she says and I do. I turn to face the left and follow after her. “I see you’re in a dilemma.” “I am. Is there a way we can save Aella? I-if it’s not too much to ask. I mean, when I was in the hospital room, her aura told me that she doesn’t have a lot of
LIANI I lead Demetri out into the hallway where two chairs are sitting outside the hospital room. He pulls me into a hug which catches me off guard. “I’m so happy you’re okay, Li.” He says breathing heavily. “Y-yeah… me too. I just wish Aella was okay, too.” I say as I fight back the tears that pool in my eyes. He runs his hands through his hair and he averts my gaze. I stare him down, searching his aura. Why is it tainted? Why is it black? “D-do you guys know who hit you?” he says while frantically looking around the hospital room. It’s as if he’s looking for someone. The softness of his voice lets me know he’s afraid of being heard. “No. We don’t.” I say sternly. “But, we’re looking into it. Is everything okay with you though?” I ask. “Y-yeah, I’m okay, Li... Just, ya know... Stressed about Aella.” He says weirdly. He seems more panicked than anything. I go to open my mouth and he pulls out his phone as it pings. I’m assuming he has a message with the way his eyes go wide a
LIANI The next two days Auburon and I spent figuring out ways that we can help Aella. We’ve been back and forth to the hospital and back to our hotel room. However, since we are the upcoming queen and King, we have to resume the tour and head to Moonshadow forest. Luckily, it is only twenty minutes away from the hospital. So, if anything happens with Aella and we have to get there quickly, we can. My mind has been tormenting me about the situation with my grandma Nixie. Did she want me to see it? If so, why? Did she want me to be wary of what I say and do around her so that she has nothing to report to Shannara? She’s tried calling but there’s really not much I have to say to her. I mean I’m still pissed. Whether or not she wanted to tell Shannara she did and she waited till after our training session to show me her vision. She should’ve canceled, she should’ve told me at the beginning, she should’ve— “Baby, come on,” Auburon calls out, cutting off my thoughts. I hurry out of the
LIANI‘ANOTHER ONE!’ I shout at the bartender. ‘Li, calm down. Unless you want us to get caught’ Aella says. I roll my eyes at her annoying remark. She always gets to come outside. She always gets to go wherever she wants. Unlike me, I have to ask for permission or sneak out to go places. “Maybe it's because she’s the alpha’s daughter,” my wolf says. “Iris, we’re the beta’s daughter, yet we have to ask, and we’re almost 21!” I reply while throwing back another shot. She whimpers at the thought of my father. I roll my eyes at her consistent whining in my head. “LETS DANCE” I yell while pulling Aella with me to the dance floor. “You’re going to regret this in the morning.” my wolf says. I ignore her and push her back to the furthest part of my mind. After about 15 minutes of dancing, Aella tells me that she's tired and ready to head back. She’s such a party pooper. I can't lie and say that a lot about me has changed since my father’s death. Although the only time I’ve gotten out has be

LIANI I nod my head yes but he doesn’t enter me, instead, he inserts a finger into me. “Mmm, you’re so wet Liani, and so tight,” he says as he picks up the pace, angling his finger to hit me right on my g spot as he pinches and tweaks my nipples. Fuck, I love this so much. I moan as I run one of my hands down my body and begin to play with my clit. “You look so good baby, but you’re not allowed to cum yet,” He would say that as I’m literally about to go over the edge. He removes his finger from me and places his tip at my entrance. “Tell me if it hurts okay?” I nod. He enters me slowly, pumping in and out gently, allowing me some time to get used to his length and size. A sigh escapes his lips. “You okay?” he asks as he’s now all the way in me. “Y-yes,” I say. He wastes no time pumping in and out of me as he nuzzles his head into my neck. “Fuck Liani, you feel so good,” he says as he picks up the pace. The moans that escape me are wild and breathless and I couldn’t care les
LIANI I didn’t realize my eyes were wandering or that I was even gawking at him until he cleared his throat and said “Eyes up here, Liani,” My eyes immediately shoot up and I couldn’t help but blush at the fact that I got caught. I almost forgot Sierra was standing there until she said “That’s my cue to leave. Please do enjoy yourselves. Lady Liani, Prince Auburon” then bows and scurried off. As I watch her leave, Auburon pulls me into his chest, cradling his head into my neck. He then places a small smack on my ass and moves his hands slowly up my body till they’re resting on my shoulders. “You look beautiful,” I blush. “Come on,” he says as he grabs my hand and guides me into the room. I was so dumbfounded by everything that I couldn’t even say anything. “Tell our mate he looks good! Goddess!” Iris says through my mind and I can see her roll her eyes. “Oh, now you speak to me!” I say. “You look really good too,” I say to Auburon as we step into the room. He turns around and
