Kyria and Duke walk behind Nathaniel heading to the dining room. While Kyria still tries to get her emotions under control, Duke pulls her to a stop so that she doesn’t walk into Nathaniel’s back as he stops in the dining room doorway.Kyria takes a sharp breath in as she then steps to the side and looks into the room to see what has the male in front of her stopping so suddenly. Kyria is surprised at the vastness and elegance of the room, she is even more surprised when she scans the room and her eyes land on who she believes could only be her Princess, though she is not dressed in her standard Royal attire...It isn’t until the King starts talking that Kyria realises that there is someone at the Princess's feet and it doesn’t take her long to work out that it was Elizabeth. Wanting to go to her side Kyria takes a step forward but is stopped when Duke places his hand on her arm and holds her still as he whispers,“Not yet.”Kyria listens and watches as the King releases his aura seem
Nathaniel stripped out of his casual Royal suit, folding it and placing it to the side not wanting to have to replace another one when he returned home. He then shifted, passing control over to Hunter who picked up his boxers and took off running.However, not wanting to be too far from their mate he stuck to the trees close to the castle. Hunter was surprised when he picked up her forest and ocean sent, telling him that she was now outside the castle, curious he made his way to find her.It didn't take Hunter long to spot his beautiful mate leisurely walking through the trees. Keeping his senses open, he quietly followed her not wanting to frighten her even more than he already had. As soon as she had sat on the grass, Hunter knew he should walk away, however, the pull to her was strong and he couldn’t stop his paws from moving him closer to her.As Elizabeth let out a low moan at the fragrance of the flower she picked up, Hunter dropped the boxers from his mouth and stepped even clo
Xana stands at the window in her office and watches as the King strips and shifts. She is surprised at how big his wolf seems even from here.She looks down at the atrocious attire that he had someone replace all her beautiful and comfortable Princess attire with. Though she shouldn’t have been surprised considering what she had tried and that he was also part Vampire and they were a little more conservative on their attire, not having to shift when their Vampires came forward.Letting out a long sigh, Xana turns away from the window as soon as the King disappears into the trees and walks over to her desk. She sits down and picks up the phone, punching in a few numbers and then waiting for it to be answered. It is answered on the third ring,“Your Highness.”“Neo. Return to the Den.”“I still have work here…” “I know, just return.”“As you wish.”Xana leans forward and quickly presses the receiver button allowing her to make the next call, again it is answered within three rings,“S
I wake with Elizabeth still wrapped securely within my arms, though she had turned over at some stage during our sleep as she was now lying with her back pressed hard up against my front. I take a deep breath filling my senses with her intoxicating forest and ocean scent, I let out a low groan matching Hunter’s growl and Cole’s hiss.Unable to fight it I lift my head and skim my lips along the bare skin of her neck. I smile a little when she lets out her own seemingly sleepy strangled moan, the sound going straight to my cock making it throb painfully hard.I try to ignore the throbbing of my cock as I feel the tingle of Cole’s fangs wanting to extend and lengthen. I lose the fight and they lengthen, I skim my lips up her neck to her ear where Cole whispers,“May I taste you, my love?” Herbody seems to tense though she doesn’t pull away from me, I almost miss as she whispers,“Will it hurt?”Cole hisses as he doesn't
We are both breathing heavily as her eyes open slightly and even though I can see exhaustion within them, I can also see shock, surprise and that slight soft satisfied look one gets after receiving pleasure from the one that loves them.It wasn’t really the time but an image of my mother with my father entered my mind and the look they always gave each other after they had spent either the night or day alone together. That look of total love, satisfaction and contentment.My attention is brought back to my mate as she whispers just as low,“Yes…”Her eyes then close and within moments her breathing has slowed and evened out. Tightening my arms around her I feel the mate bond get even stronger with our sharing of pleasure. I sigh in contentment, even as my cock still throbs painfully hard in my boxers just knowing that I showed her that not all encounters with males will end with her being hurt.I Ignore the painful throbbing of my cock for as long
As I return to my seat and the rage within Hunter calms a little I realise what he had said and make a mental note to either ask my mate or maybe Kyria why she was down in that cell receiving that whipping to begin with. Hunter then whimpers as guilt hits him that we had been appointed as the Shifter King for the last 5 years and we were only just getting to the Shifters in this area.I then look around the table once more before saying,“Noah, as a leader myself, training under you and my father, I know that we can only act on what we are presented and told, however, some of the reports I have been receiving since my coronation should have been dealt with by you a long time ago, though by the sounds of it a lot of the reports I have been receiving never actually made it to you.”I hadn’t warned him that I would be calling him into this but I needed him to repeat what he had told me to the others I trusted within this room. I open my Royal Shifter link,
Noah was more than pissed, how was he meant to do his job when others seemed to think that they knew better. Pulling out his phone he went through his contacts stopping on the person he was looking for and selecting it. It rang twice before it was answered by a stern voice.“Alpha, what can I do for you?”“Antonio, Lieutenant Erik Myers?”“What about him, Alpha?”“How long has he been answering requests at the packhouse gate?”“Never… All requests from the main gates came to me though now they go to Gideon.”Noah growls low and tightens his hand around his phone only loosening it off when he hears the slight crack. He takes a deep breath,“I want you to check into everything concerning Erik, his finances, work, personal life, even how many times a day he takes a shit, I want everything... And I want a list of every warrior that was on the main gate guard duty for the last 50 years…”“Only fifty, Alpha?”Antonio chuckles
Nathaniel is a little taken aback at her statement and question. He hadn’t really had much of a chance to actually talk to Elizabeth but he had thought that she knew who he was. He gets to his feet and paces a little before turning back to Kyria,“You told her I was the Shifter King?”Nathaniel continues pacing as Kyria hesitantly whispers.“Yes and No… I told her I was worried…”Nathaniel stopped pacing looking over at Kyria when she stopped talking and looked down at her hands again. He walked over and crouched down in front of her and placed his hands on hers as he gentled his tone,“Worried about what, Kyria?”Even with all her courage Kyria is still a little nervous about talking to the King on her own, she may act brave but most of the time it is just that, an act. Knowing that being honest with him was probably the better way to go Kyria explained.“As I said we were worried about our place here and then when Father received th
