I said, "We really should go to the party first, don't you think? It's partly my birthday party too." He looked sad as he whispered, "I will do whatever you want to do. I just don't want anyone else thinking you are available." I breathed, "I will make sure they know. I will not leave your side. Just don't go all crazy if I hug people. I like to hug my friends. Okay? Like right now." I looked behind him and his brothers were approaching. "Convel and Bodolf! It's been such a long time! How are you?" I went to them and hugged them. They both looked me up and down and smiled, "Ashina! You look amazing!" I replied, "Thank You! So do you!"
I heard a growl behind me and I sighed, "Conri, this is what I was talking about. Your brothers are my friends. That's all." He cringed, "I know. It's just hard to see you hugging anyone else." I told him, "If I don't feel comfortable hugging someone, I won't do it. Okay? Don't forget, my wolf has the ability to talk to other wolves without the
I shifted back, "He's not going to able to talk coherently until morning, at least. Let's enjoy the party for tonight." Conri walked back to the wood line to shift, and my underwear had stretched out again, so I just stepped out of them and threw them in the trash. When Conri came back. He was looking as hot as I had ever seen him look. I was suddenly regretting throwing my panties in the trash. Dear Goddess! How am I going to get through this night without having him mark me? Nyla asked, "We should have him mark us tonight, silly. He's mate!" I replied, "What if he hurts us?" She reassures me, "This is the one the Goddess sent to us. He will not hurt us. What if he accepts us as his mate?" I warned her, "Don't you dare tell his wolf to do it. I'm dead serious, Nyla." Nyla replied, "I'm not going to do
I rolled off of him as I panted for air, "I honestly wasn't planning on doing this tonight, but I couldn't resist it. That damn mate bond is no joke!" He laughed, "I was hoping you would let me mark you as soon as I saw you. I don't ever want you away from me. Lycans are very possessive that way. We actually waited a lot longer than most Lycans do." I chuckled as I wrapped my arm around him and snuggled as close to him as I could, "You are now stuck with me for life. I don't ever want to leave you." He smiled, "That's what I want to hear you say forever." I sighed, "As of right now, I can't imagine that changing." He promised, "I will never purposely do anything that would make you want to leave. If I do something that pisses you off, I want to know about it. You need to tell me. I feel your feelings, b
Dad said, "Conri, I know you want to protect her, but she is a highly trained warrior. She will not be sidelined. It doesn't matter how much you try. She does, however, have other ways to fight, besides getting right in the middle of it. She would be a huge asset to your warriors. She knows fighting styles that most packs don't even think of training in. Plus, her mother developed a fighting style that can disable a whole army, without killing them. Ash has been trained in it too. There are only three werewolf packs that were trained in it, and all three packs are now one... ours." Conri asked, "How can I keep her safe if I can't keep her from fighting?" Dad chuckled, "You can't. All you can do is stay close to her in the fight. Like you did last night. You were really good at fighting and keeping her s
My dad asked, "Why do you want her so bad that you are willing to attack our pack for her?" He explained, "She's a special wolf. We need one for our pack." My dad shook his head, "We have a few. Why her, in particular?" He replied, "She's the only one that isn't a Luna, Beta Female, or a Future Alpha or Future Beta. But there is something different about her now." I took my jacket off one shoulder and showed him the mark as Conri explained, "You are now trying to kidnap a Lycan Princess! This is grounds for the death penalty for all who survived your attack. Are you the Alpha? You healed faster than anyone else in here." He replied, "I am the Beta. My name is Connor. Our Alpha is Lobo." Conri asked, "Where is your Alpha?" He answered, "Not sure. I know he fought with us because he is obsessed with getting your princess. Although I doubt, he knows you are a princess." I shrugged, "I just became a princess last night before the party started. That was when I
As we drove away, I got a mind link from Seth: S: Hey, didn't get a chance to say goodbye. I'm on patrol. M: Meet uson the way out. S: Ok. I'll be at the entrance. M: Got it.
It took another forty-five minutes to get to the castle. I was ready to get out and stretch when Conri parked the vehicle. I got out and started stretching by lifting my arms over my head and standing on my tiptoes. Then I started bending to either side, and I heard a growl. I giggled, "Is that my mate?" He walked up behind me, wrapped his arms around my waist and picked me up. He put me down and I turned to face him, "I was just stretching, from sitting for so long. Okay?" He smiled, "But I loved the view. I didn't want anyone else enjoying the view." I smiled, "I will try to keep my public stretching to a minimum. But I will be stretching with the warriors when I train them. I am already marked. From what Trina told me, they already know I can kick their asses too." Conri laughed, "Your warriors must have told mine about your fighting styles." I nodded, "Trina wants to learn." He agreed, "All the warriors will learn." I laughed, 'That's exactly what I to
Conri and I were in our room, and I thought of something that I really needed to do... like, now. I told him, "I need to go back and see Queen Eden and Queen Lakelyn." Conri asked, "Why?" I explained, "This is my chance to find out how to reach the Fae high court and the leaders of the fairies and Centaurs." He agreed, "Well, let's go." We walked back to the sitting room, and they were still visiting with Queen Nina. I walked into the room and sat by Queen Nina. I began, " I have a question for you ladies, and I'm really hoping you can help me." Queen Eden asked, "You are continuing your mother's quest to unite species, aren't you?" I smiled and nodded, "I am. I would like to meet with the Fae High Court, the leader of the Fairies, and the leader of the Centaurs. I believe all of them would be powerful allies."
Convel laughed as he got up, "I would love to see this new fighting style you are going to teach us." I nodded, "I can do that. The ceilings in here are higher, I'm going to have some real fun." Convel looked scared as I motioned for Conri to approach. I got to his ear and whispered, "When he looks comfortable, grab one of his ankles to distract him." Conri smiled and whispered in my ear, "You're making me want you more." I laughed, "I want you too. Let's wear these guys out so we can have some time for us." He smiled, "You sound like they're our kids. Kinda makes me want to put a pup or two in you." I waggled my eyebrows at him and asked, "Who said I would have a problem with that?" He laughed as I said to Convel, "Okay. Ready?" He got in a defensive position, and I levitated us about five feet off the floor. He yelled, "WHOA!" I chuckled, "You're fine. Start sparring. I was throwing punches, just to kill time until he got comfortable. He started getting
