His Royal Mate 58
“And he'll soon know where your weaknesses lie. All I ask is that you consider the danger in having someone so close to Polonius too deeply ingrained in your court.”While Sire’s concerns were valid, I wasn't ready to acquiesce to them at that point. “Thank you for your advice,” was my only response.“For your sake, I hope you heed it.” He took a breath. “Let’s get started. We have a long day ahead of us, and I want to make sure that we have an advisory council in place as soon as possible.”The day progressed without too much chaos. Many people with impressive skills and excellent experience were Midnight Moon Pack descendants. We were able to find so much of what we needed, and people were ready to get right to work. For the first time in days, it felt like the kingdom was actually coming together.We worked for the entire day and well into the night. While I was very busy and preoccupied, thoughts of Lex and his ordeal haunted me. Since Sire hadn’t used his magic yet today, I plann
His Royal Mate 59
Amadeus sat in the cell next to mine, delirious and shackled to the wall because he kept magically lighting things on fire. He was still making puffs of smoke, but they weren’t as dangerous as the blazes he’d set before.I hoped Aria was okay and wondered if she’d gotten word of my incarceration. I hoped she hadn’t, because all she would do was worry.Just as Amadeus was screaming and railing against his restraints again, Polonius walked in.“I told you not to leave your room,” Polonius chided me as he approached my cell.“Since when does a territory lock dignitaries in their rooms?” I asked, wishing I had something to murder Polonius with.He laughed. “Let’s be honest, shall we? You know as well as I that you’re not a dignitary in Brahman’s Peak, and so I need not treat you as such. True diplomats don’t steal from their hosts.” His voice turned hard.“You don’t have proof that I stole anything. Because I didn’t,” I argued, still pacing to temper my rage.“We are still looking for the

“Will you be taking food out of the mouths of your own people to woo her?” I asked wryly, sure the question would irk him.“My people have enough,” he said simply. “Aria’s do not. As much as I’d love to stand here and chat with you, I have other matters to address. Hurry back to Aria. I’m sure the guards who have been hiding outside of my gates will be happy to escort you to her.”With that, Polonius left me without another word. I was taken out of Brahman's Peak, and the gates were closed and locked behind me.One of the soldiers who’d escorted me looked at me. “You are never to return.” And then, he turned and left me alone.I couldn't believe Polonius had let me go. Outside of the gates and free to return to Aria, I hoped Cheyenne had been able to get to Navarrah City with the plans for the airship. If he had, my mission here would have been a success.I walked a distance away from the gates to Brahman City to be met with two officers from the Navarrian Royal Guards.“Your Majesty,

“I’m glad Queen Nadine has offered to help,” Halo said, rolling the kinks out of her neck. “Working all day and conjuring magical food for a good part of the night is taxing.” Her eyes looked glossy with fatigue.“I am so grateful for her help,” I said. “When this is over, I’ll definitely make sure that we’re able to create a stronghold against any threats as she requested.” I made sure to say this in front of Gabrielle to ensure that she didn’t tell Polonius that Queen Nadine was fortifying Angeline Falls against his potential attack.“Did she mention when the food was coming?” Gabrielle asked, ready to continue assisting Halo as she hovered near where Halo sat at her chair.“The trucks should be here in a couple of days,” Halo said. She gathered a ledger and a clean white piece of paper, preparing for the day’s immigrants.“I’ll make sure to thank Queen Nadine when I see her next week,” I said, quietly dreading my trip with Polonius. He was coming in the next few days to discuss our
His Royal Mate 62
My wolf panted with desire, haunches up, ready for her mate to seal himself within her.“I hope someone does,” Lex said, and his fingers dipped into my already slick and needy center. He then thrust them into me, spreading my wetness to the far reaches of my sex.He let go of my waist, and I used my hands to brace myself against the wall. The rustle of fabric told me he was pulling his cock out of his pants, and without warning, he thrust it up inside me so hard, I jolted forward, moaning with the brutal intrusion that had set my entire body on fire.“Lex!” I cried out, then chewed on my lip to quiet myself, feeling him stretch my insides to accommodate his size.His body covered mine gently until we were breathing each other’s air. He started to pump in and out of me.“I’m yours,” he growled. “You own every inch of me, body and soul. And you are my mate, my life, my everything. Feel me. Emblazon me into your body, the only person who will ever be there.” He slowly pulled himself out,
His Royal Mate 63
“We thought as much.” The man had an wistful look in his eyes. “Everyone who’s met her has said something similar. I can’t wait until it’s our turn.”“Your turn will be here before you know it. Have a good day,” I said, leaving the man to his waiting.I walked for most of the day, looking at the fields that were just starting to be tilled, where crimson pitaya and the kingdom’s food would grow. I sat for hours there, watching a carpenter build a house near a clear creek that flowed through the rubble and debris. The kingdom had been cleaned up, but remnants of the destruction lingered as the magic had not been able to wipe everything away.I hoped one day, all memories of the sad time in history when Onyx Rah had been destroyed would be forgotten. But for now, the debris and burn marks proved the wounds of the kingdom were still fresh. I admired Aria for stepping into such a difficult role with no training or real experience. As she always has said to me in the quiet moments when she

The battle was fierce. Even though I had a million things running through my mind that interfered with my focus, I was still able to lunge at anyone who neared us and bite into their throats. My claws dug into flesh and fur as some of the attackers had shifted. I could hear Aria's growls and the muffled sounds of whining beside me. I knew she was taking down as many of the attackers as I was. We advanced through the hordes, gnashing, snarling, and scraping at anything our claws and teeth could touch.We battled for an hour before I realized that the attackers were not using deadly force. Some of them had even vanished upon being mortally wounded by either Aria or me. Soon, what had seemed to be an insurmountable battle became less and less of a threat. Was this not an attack, but a kidnapping attempt? Why would Midnight Moon Pack members want to kidnap us?Perhaps Aria being taken by force would force Polonius to pay a high ransom. The same principle would apply to Navarrah City if I
His Royal Mate 65
The soldiers removed their masks, revealing themselves to be the Royal Guards who had just enlisted to protect Onyx Rah.“You two were amazing!” one soldier shouted from the crowd.“I’ve never seen two fighters work together so well!” another yelled.“Something’s going on there,” still another voice added. “Only my mate and I show so much chemistry.” Then, he added in a raunchy tone of voice, “In bed!”There was laughter throughout the regiment.“Aria, I wanted to show you that Lex is your weakness, but here you go and prove me wrong. Aria is stronger with you, Lex.” Sire cocked his head in disbelief. “It is a fact I was unwilling to accept, and yet here I am, forced to acknowledge it.”“That’s why I need to be near her,” I told him. “So that I can keep her safe.”“Perhaps,” Sire said. He waved his arm in the air and started walking back to the castle. “At ease,” he addressed the soldiers. “You’re dismissed.”As soon as Sire released them, the soldiers came up to Aria and me. They wer
