(Morrigan’s P.O.V)
I was honestly totally willing to get down and dirty there in the meadow, it would have been romantic if Rian had taken me there because it was one of my favorite places. Though this wouldn’t have been my first time having sex, it would have been OUR first time having sex together and I wasn’t so sure that I wanted to do that in the middle of the meadow. After we got back to the palace and shifted back into our human forms, we walked up to my floor where we parted ways to take showers and put on clean clothes for dinner. I was still having this nagging feeling about my dream and what happened last night when I shifted, Rian STILL hadn’t explained anything regarding that. I suppose dinner will be my moment of opportunity to get some answers. I meet Rian in the hall, and we walk together down to the dining room much like we did this morning for breakfast, only this time my parents were at the
(Rian’s P.O.V) It’s now the evening of Morrigan’s and my leaving feast and the palace is a whirlwind of activity with servants rushing about getting everything decorated and set up. I was anxious to get back to our kingdom and show her our world, the world she should have been born into. We’ve spent the last several days getting to know each other better and she’s begun to awaken her powers. There was one instance that was both terrifying and hilarious just the other day involving myself and Killian: (Flashback) “I need for you to let Cormac know that we will need to have a welcome party for Morrigan and let him know that he will need to help reign in my mother when it comes to the Luna ceremony.” Killian laughs because he knows that it is going to be impossible to reign my mother in when she is so excited about the fact that I’ve found my mate and that it’s Princess Morrigan. My mother and Queen Raya are old friends and ar
(Morrigan’s P.O.V) Well, that dinner went to hell in a handbasket. I thought to myself. “You okay over there Luna?” Beta Killian asks. We left Rian to his meeting with my father, so Beta Killian escorted me to my bedroom. This was the first time I really got a good look at my mate's right-hand man and I must say, if I wasn't mated to Rian I would totally jump his bones. He has shoulder-length shaggy blond hair with piercing blue eyes which complimented his angular face. He is a muscular man, like Rian, and just an inch or two shorter than him as well. From what I could tell, he was tattooed all over--or at least I assume he was, though all I could see were the tattoos on his hands and the side of his neck at this point. “Yes, I’m fine, Beta Killian. Just stuck in my head a bit.” I replied. “There’s no need to be formal with me, Luna, you can just call me Killian.” He sm
(Rian’s P.O.V) After a relatively peaceful night’s sleep, it’s time for us to get back to our kingdom and I can’t wait to have my little mate naked under me and marking her. It’s been torture having to wait this whole week, but I wanted our first-time mating to be at home as well as when I marked her. Last night was by far the hardest for me; in more ways than one. I had to fight Stark for control while Morrigan stood in front of me, completely naked, and then she tried to strike up a conversation! It was like her brain couldn’t make her body move because of how embarrassed she was. I was glad that she chose not to bring up what had happened and left the situation well enough alone. Morrigan is still asleep, so I take this time to get ready and make sure Killian is awake and to fill him in on the conversation that I had with Leonard and his counselors and elders. &n
(Morrigan’s P.O.V) Stepping into the house was like being transported to a cozy log cabin in the woods, for as big as the house was, it truly had a “homey” feel to it. The foyer had a double staircase going up either side of it, all made of wood, with a chandelier hanging from the ceiling. “Wow, this is beautiful,” I whisper. “Thanks, mo grá, this is our home, the packhouse is just about a five-minute walk away. My parents have a house near there as well, but this is just for you and me.” He states, kissing my temple. We walk deeper into the house as he shows me the living room, dining area, and kitchen; the open floor concept is something that I love. The living room boasts a huge TV because of course Rian is a man who likes sports, such a cliché if you ask me. The living room has a huge deep gray U-shaped sectional th
(Rian’s P.O.V) That little devil mate of mine will be the death of me if she continues shapeshifting into a spider. I can’t believe that neither Killian nor myself noticed that she had “poofed” in the first place, fucking Killian. “Ah shit, I left my shoe in your room.” Killian states. “Well tough titties, you’re going to have to wait to get it until Morrigan is done organizing her stuff. Also, was it necessary to hit me in the face with your shoe? You could have just used your hand.” “You were freaking the fuck out, so I did what I had to do. I’m just shocked we didn’t notice that Morrigan had ‘poofed’ like that.” “I think from now on we are going to call her shapeshifting ‘poofing’ because it’s funny,” I say with a chuckle. Killian nods his head in agreement as we continue our walk to the living room a
(Morrigan’s P.O.V) After Rian and Killian left the bedroom, the servants brought up my bags for me to unpack and organize the way I wanted. Hopefully, Killian remembers his shoe. I have a feeling that the dumbass Beta is going to forget it and walk to the packhouse without it. Okay, bet. Let’s see what happens. What will I get if I win, Princess? A little cocky aren’t we there little wolfy? Nope, I just know that Rian’s Beta has his blond moments. Well, alrighty then, let’s see what happens. It’s only been about fifteen minutes since the boys left the room and I got started unpacking when there was a knock on the bedroom door. Before I could open it, I knew who it was just by their scent alone, Rian. “So, Killian forgot his shoe and walked to the packhouse without realizing it until my mother pointed it out.” I try to suppress the giggle that’s rising within me while Rian goes and gets Killian his shoe. “I’m almost done unpacking and when
(Rian’s P.O.V) When I saw what was in her suitcase, I swear my heart stopped and my dick was about to explode. Our mate is a Submissive? She’s played before. Hmm, not sure if I like this human. How could we NOT like this considering we are a Dominant? She has everything in here Stark! No, I think it’s great, but it also means that our mate has been with someone else. And? How many she-wolves have we bedded before finding our mate? Touché. Well, I’m going to have fun with our mate now and use these on her. After coming out of the bathroom, I had Morrigan spread out on the bed, her flaming red hair splayed across the pillows. “I’m going to put your gag on you now princes
(Rian’s P.O.V) Morrigan did so well during our scene and I’m so proud of her, now the serious conversation needs to happen about what she likes and doesn’t like. I know we had a conversation about hard and soft limits but now I need to go deeper. I turn the water on for the bathtub making sure it’s not too hot for her and fill it with lavender bath salt to help her body relax and calm down from the high of our play. Drake, I need you to come to my place and fix a meal for myself and my mate. Of course, Alpha, what would you like me to fix? Something simple and easy, how about your cream cheese pasta that you made for my mother the other week? I’ll make sure to make enough for leftovers Alpha. I’ll make some garlic bread as well. Thank you, Drake. I cut
(Euan’s P.O.V) 18 years later (cont’d) I woke up this morning, happy to have my wolf even though we weren’t going to be able to shift until next week on the full moon. After having breakfast with my family, I wanted to go and visit my grandparents and as I was walking to their house, passing Beta Killian’s place I picked up the soft scent of roses and sweet orange. My wolf, Dakota, shakes out his fur and starts purring at the smell. Mmm, that’s our mate. That was our mate’s scent? Killian only has one daughter, my best friend Juniper, or Junie as she likes to be called. Fuck, we can’t tell her. She’s only 16 and it’s against our laws for wolves of age to tell their mate about the bond if they are underage. Doesn’t mean we can’t sneak in and sniff her a bit. Seriously? What is wrong with you? Absolutely nothing. I’m enjoying her smell. I shake my head at my wolf, and it takes all of my will power to continue on to my grandparents’ house. “Ha
(Morrigan’s P.O.V) 18 years later Euan was turning eighteen today and gaining his wolf, however, he won’t shift for another week since that’s when the next full moon is. These past 18 years have passed by in peace for our kingdoms as well as the other kingdoms of the Lunar Realm. Euan has long since become an older brother to 6 other siblings: the twins Flynn and Rory—both 16, Ronan who is 14, then the next set of twins (both girls) Rowan and Bridget both 12, and then our surprise baby girl Fallon who turned 10 a few months back. Rian wanted to have all boys first before we had girls, he understood that we couldn’t exactly make sure that happened but by the powers of the Goddess Danu, he got what he wanted. All our boys came out quiet, observant, and big—each boy weighed in at almost 10 pounds and each was 22 inches long. The girls were taking after me it seemed, petite, loud, and complete daddy’s girls. They had Rian wrapped around their little fingers even if he didn’t
(Rian’s P.O.V) 2 months later “Rian!!!!” Morrigan yells. I was in my office, having just gotten off the phone with Alpha Tiernan from Hallowed Manes Pack in the Human Realm when Morrigan comes tearing into my office. She braces her hand on the door frame to catch her breath, so I take this opportunity to scold her before she can speak. “You ran down here Morrigan? We’ve discussed this! You’re pregnant! You can’t be running or overexerting yourself like this! It’s not good for you or the baby.” I admonish while guiding her over to the sofa I had added to my office. “I know, I know. But I heard the conversation between you and that Alpha! I want to escort this FBI agent to Eferhile! I want to see mom, Bayard, and Constance! Please mo rí?” She asks, giving me her best “puppy dog” eyes. I groan, knowing I’m not going to be able to deny her because she’ll cry if I tell her no, and then I’ll feel like a dick. “Alright, but either Cormac or Killian goes with you
(Morrigan’s P.O.V) I had been feeling off-color for a while now, but with everything that had been going on over the last few months, I thought it was stress. Until the vomiting started, thank the Goddess Danu above that I was able to conveniently hide my toilet bowl worship from Rian. I decide that it’s time to go see Dr. Wyatt, one of our pack doctors so I enlist my mother and Roisin to come with me on the off chance something happens. The nurse welcomes me back with an awkward curtsey to which I visibly cringed. “That bad huh?” She giggles. “The worst, but please I’m not expecting everyone to bow and curtsey to me. Literally, nothing changes but the titles and the meaning behind them. So please, don’t EVER do that again.” I say laughing. She laughs, and hands me a cup to pee in before I meet with Dr. Wyatt, she walks off with my mother and Roisin to get them set up in the doctor’s office. After pissing all over my hand—then subsequently washing my hands
(Rian’s P.O.V) After returning to the grand ballroom for the reception, I realized I hadn’t removed Morrigan’s butt plug. I couldn’t help the mischievous giggle that bubbled over, making her look at me with eyebrows raised, making me shake my head in response. So here she was, walking around the reception with her jeweled butt plug still in her tight little ass. We’re so fucking her in the ass later. She’ll be nice and ready for us. Yup, now if only this party would hurry up and be over with. Morrigan and I were talking to the Alpha couple of a nearby bear sleuth, when Morrigan’s hand tightened on mine and I could feel her anger and embarrassment. Should have kept my mouth shut huh? Yes, you should have Stark. Now see if she gives us her ass now. I grumble, feeling disgruntled. You can have my ass any way you want it, baby, just gotta ask. Morrigan purrs in our mind link. Okay, then I want it now. Bend over that table like a good girl. I purr back at her
(Morrigan’s P.O.V) Standing there after basically going all Warrior Goddess on the crowd, we continued with the ceremony. Killian gave Rian my biological mother’s crown, which was a Baroque black diamond tiara, giving off Gothic vibes for sure. In the middle of the crown was the face of a wolf, with two rubies for eyes. It was truly a work of art, and I was so lucky that it was able to be saved. I bowed in front of Rian, so he could put the crown on my head, and once that was done, I stood up straight. Throwing my shoulders back and lifting my chin up, wanting to show the shifter kingdom that I was strong, fierce, and not to be fucked with. “I present to you all, Her Majesty, Luna Queen Morrigan Faith O’Connor!” Rian booms out. I turn my head sharply to him, confused as to why he used his last name to find him on one knee next to me, with a beautiful princess-cut diamond ring nestled in a ring box. “Over the last two and a half months, you have given my lif
(Rian’s P.O.V) It’s the day of Morrigan’s Luna Ceremony, and we are all a bundle of nerves right now because before the ceremony takes place, we will be announcing our plans. I had my speech prepared and I kept going over it, trying to commit it to memory, and I played the “what if” game and wrote down answers to questions or comments about our intention to reinstate the monarchy and crown Morrigan Luna Queen. Leland had been able to smuggle one of Queen Amelie’s crowns out of the palace before it burned down, so we would be able to crown her with that. Servants were bustling around the packhouse, getting things ready for the arrival of several of the royal families: King Alstin was coming in along with King Emeritus Albrun since Queen Aubriana and Celestia were already here, King Cerberus was joining us, Queen Lucia and King Osiris of Khisfire. They were going to be showing their support for the restoration of the shifter monarchy. It was being decorated in ou
(Morrigan’s P.O.V) It’s been a few days since the funeral, and we were back in Màni getting ready to go shopping for my Luna Ceremony. The kingdom didn’t know this, but we were going to announce who my biological parents were and that I was ascending to the throne. Rian and the entirety of my mother’s family were concerned with how the announcement will be received by the shifter kingdom. We knew most of them would be fine with the change, however, we knew that my father’s dead cousin still had his supporters out there. Uncle Leland and his mate, Tàri, were going to be in attendance as well as their grown pups and grandpups. I would be meeting all of them for the first time. He was excited to know that I was going to be taking up the mantle of Luna Queen and I offered him and Tàri a nice sized mansion in the pack so they could be close since the cat was going to be out of the bag, so to speak, that members of the royal family had survived. I was sitting in th
(Rian’s P.O.V) It was the day of the funerals for our warriors and for King Leonard, it was decided that Leonard’s body would be the last pyre lit. While a King’s pyre should always be lit first, as a symbol of him guiding his warriors to Annwn (or the Underworld), however, his family agreed that Leonard would want his warriors and those who fought alongside his warriors, to have the honored spot. “It’s time to go mo grà,” I whisper to Morrigan. She’s been quiet this morning, just going through the motions of the day. I know that her dream meeting with her biological parents and Leonard helped with how she had been feeling about the whole situation. She looks beautiful in her black, long, full-sleeved jumpsuit with a medium plunge, and a belt cinching her waist. Her beautiful fiery hair was pulled up into a sophisticated bun, leaving a few wisps of hair surrounding her face. Her make-up was done in neutral tones, and she kept it simple. Her black stilettos fi
