ARIAHow on earth is that possible? I heard about the Lycan healing powers but I didn't think it could be true. But seeing the Lycan King Maddock walking with strength on a feet that was almost half bitten yesterday what was terrifying. It was just a night, yeah? It was barely noon. We woke up to the maids ringing small bells around the castle. We had a bath, Morris had a special session with the maids. They took their time to adorn and scrub her body clean. She was given a little massage with a scented calming oil before she was ready. We were invited for breakfast, in the dinning hall by the Lycan King. Morris was dressed extra specially with the Lycan's clothes, her flat stomach was decorated with beads and her ears with large dooping earrings. Her hair was braided in the Lycan style, giving her a touch of the Lycans. Her entire body was sprayed with a scented oil, making her glow and smell good at thesmae time. He was claiming her. And somehow, the kingdom knew. I smiled at ho
ARIAIt was a peaceful night. Better than the cold nights I had to go through alone in Cosmos. The air had a sweet breeze along with it, the air of love. I giggled knowing Morris and Maddock were definitely going at it, probably for the whole night, like how I did with Adrian our first few nights together."Morning, my lady." A single maid whose face was familiar. Today the chambers weren't filled with maids, they were probably in the Queen's chamber, trying to get her dressed. I threw the covers off my tired body and yawned. My body was different today. I wasn’t filled with strength like I had been the past few days but I still got up on my feet and walked towards the maid who was drawing up a warm bath for me. I deduced that the tiredness was from the emotional stress I had been experiencing since I've been mated to Adrian or should I say before the mateship. "Aria. You can call me Aria." The lady was beautiful, like the rest of the Lycan females. She was dressed modestly and ele
ARIA"Aria...do you want to see him?" I burst into more tears at Morris's words. How could I see him looking like this? I looked like a person who shall fall down soon to her death. Why did he have to look for me so desperately? He came this far for me and is currently before the Lycan guards, desperately begging for his mate. Only if things were perfectly alright. If I was healthy and well, I would have gone to him. Adrian had done nothing but love and care for me. It was clear as crystal now. Everything he did was in my favor but I didn't understand. Why didn't he tell me, that it was just the beginning of what I was going to face? Everything made sense now, how he was never happy even when I became well, temporarily. He was thinking of the future. Death.Morris wrapped her arms around my being, her upper body on top of mine. I reacted immediately, pushing her off me. I didn't want to be touched. I felt like I was going to transfer the disease to anyone that came a meter close to m
ADRIAN"I'm sorry, Alpha Adrian. Aria...isn't your mate anymore. She's mated to another." Aria's head attendant. It was her, alive and very much healthy. Too healthy. Everything was different about her, she wasn't the invisible lady beside Aria anymore. She was dressed like a Lycan, in their wealthy clothings. Her hair was braided in several small braids and then knotted at the top of her head. Her face sparkled with light make-up that brought out her features. Coming here wasn't easy. I fought internally with myself tooth and nail before finally deciding on coming, keeping my pride aside and focusing on my deepest desires. Aria. The Lycan borders were heavily guarded with thick armored men. Their body size were huge but they didn't intimidate me. I was strong as much as they were, probably even stronger. I was a match for their king, not them. The guards were quick to circle around my troops and I, ready to attack. Their dead emotionless eyes were trained on me especially, the tro
ADRIAN"I hope you're happy, Veronica." My words were empty and devoid of any emotions. I was haggered and hurt, stressed and tired but I couldn't wait to go to the Eastern wing of the palace once we reached Cosmos Kingdom. I didn't care that the sky was still at it's darkest when we arrived at Cosmos. My soldiers said not even a word, seeing as they saw the sad expression on my face and no sign of Aria. They offered me their silence and I appreciated it. I got down from my horse and looked up at the palace which once upon a time was everything to me but now it was empty. Quiet. Cold. The pain was different, your mate leaving you without a rejection. We loved each other. We flourished together. We had thesame prospects and needs in our lives. Most of all we desired each other. But Veronica, was the cause. She had to be punished. Every soul responsible for this tragic act had to be punished."No, Adrian. I am..." I couldn't resist it now. I struck her face with all the strength I had
I groaned as I shifted on the soft surface. My back was stiff and my entire abdomen hurt in an unexplainable way. Where was I? What was happening? I opened my eyes, shyly at first and shut them immediately. The light bleached my eyes and made me groan uncomfortably. A few more seconds and I peeled them open again, taking in my surroundings. I was in my chambers, on my bed. I groaned out again, loudly this time as I tried to get up, the entire pain gripping my lower parts. I moaned painfully as I laid back down immediately, my breaths coming out in pants. My hands reached down instinctively on my bandaged abdomen, in a soothing way. That was when I remembered what happened. What I had done. I sobbed out, the sound coming out as a gasp. I wasn't supposed to be alive. I wasn't supposed to survive. No. This wasn't the plan. I was meant to have been found dead in the morning. How was I supposed to live without Aria? The question alone itself terrified me. People wouldn't understand why
MORRISI circled my legs around my male as he plunged repeatedly into my needy whole, my nails digging into his skin as I writhed with pleasure. This was so so good, better than any love making I've ever engaged in. Maddock was just how I wanted my male to be. He gave it to me how I craved it without me voicing out my desires. His huge cock unimaginably fit into my tight hole, filling the void I've been missing for a long while. When my mate died, it was difficult to go through the first couple of years. I still remember the days I woke up at night, crying, needing a male's touch. My center had throbbed with desperate need to feel something inside me. My clit bud had twitched at the intensity of pleasure I wanted to feel but I had no male. On the other days, I would wake up to find myself squeezing my thighs together in desperate need of friction. Anything just to come. There was no hope for me. No male who would be my mate and fulfill my wants and needs, warm my bed at night and sat
MORRIS.We were lost. Five days and four nights and we had no idea where we were. My back hurt and my neck was stiff. I didn't feel good about my body, not in the slightest. Five days without the warm and scented bath my body was gradually getting used to make me feel deprived. It made me feel sick about my own body. I didn't feel amazing at all. At this point, I was looking for a stream, just to wash out the dirt and the sticky sweat that had glued to my skin. "Where are we now? Are we back on track?" My tired voice was loud in the almost dark area. The two guards looked around the forest, studied it for a while before turning their heads, their eyes asking for confirmation from my female attendants. Both females nodded in agreement before the huge bulgy man riding on the left path answered me. "We're on the right track my lady." I sighed out in frustration. I didn't want to look impatient but it has been days already. I didn't think this would take more than three days. On the o
THREE YEARS LATERThe door opened without warning and all of us looked up at the rude intrusion. We were having a lovely get together. Finally after years, Morris graced the Cosmos kingdom with her appearance but of course, she was here with Maddock and her pup. Right now, we were having a lovely breakfast on the balcony, takng tea and enjoying different flavours of cookies, having fun, sharing stories. The twins governess had a very angry expression on her face. Her white gown was stained with what appeared to be various stains of liquid, maybe tea or pomegranate juice? I sighed out and placed my head in my gummy hands. Good heavens what did they do this time? I was even almost afraid to ask. This was my what, third governess this early year? Everyone knew about the twins reputation. Some experienced governess straight up declined and asked for indulgence. It was almost difficult to get my children a governess because of their escapades."Not again." I groaned lowly. There was so mu
ARIAEverything happened in a rush. One minute I was laying down completely satisfied with a smile on my face and the next I was surrounded by multiple maids with towels in their hands. Adrian lifted me off the bed while the white sheets were removed and replaced with disposable ones. All through these months, at first, I was excited for the pup that grew in me, then I became impatient with it and the heaviness and now that it was finally time, my body shivered with fear. This was real. I was going to give birth. Now. I groaned and twisted in pain. This wasn't like the menstrual cramps that occured during every moon blood flow. This was far worse. It started like a normal pain, just cramps before my lower abdomen became achy and the cramps increased with time. I screamed so loud, my head was everywhere. This was unexpected. I groaned and writhed from Adrian's hold."Its best you let her walk." It was Ferris's voice but I was yet to see her. Or maybe I saw her but hardly knew it was h
ARIASEVEN MONTHS LATER It's been several moons of bliss. Cosmos kingdom has been molded into a kingdom we have always dreamt of. The castle walls were renovated, we had more guards, more successes, refined maids. We joined forces with the lycans some moons ago so we had some lycan men in our lands and some of our men found their own peace and happiness in the Kingdom of Ver. As destiny would have it, some of our men were mated to Lycan females and vice versa. We had formed a strong bond and a really good ally. I had formed my own cabinet as Luna and took some of the matters off Adrian's desk and everything went smoothly as it was supposed to. Not of recent though, all I did these days was sit by the window, enjoy the fresh air and scenery."Luna, do you need anything else?" It was Francis, the old man's son. He has been with us for about six moons now. He was trained first before I chose him as my personal guard. He sure did look like his father, just a better and stronger version
ARIA"My Queen, you need to wake up." I rolled between the sheets and peeked one eye open. The room was bright, had too much sunlight . I closed my eyes immediately and snuggled more into the covers to sleep some more but that voice still spoke, loudly this time. "Aria. You need to eat. You've been in bed all day." I groaned at the intrusion and opened my eyes at its full length this time. Sure enough, the curtains were drawn back and the room was filled with the sun rays, bright and hot. Probably afternoon. My eyes landed at Ferris and yes, she looked liked trouble, with her hands on her waist and a towel tied around her waist. The maids were behind her, each looking down at what they held in their hands, towels. Ferris stood in front of them, her eyes narrowed to slithers at me. I giggled and stretched my body lightly, groaning loudly as I did. My whole muscles protested and ached at the action. I stilled as the events of yesterday night came flooding through my head. Indeed ye
ARIAI moaned out my orgasm weakly , my body shaking and my eyes becoming foggy. This was the what? Fifth orgasm I was experiencing? Adrian never stopped for a moment to even take a breath. He fucked me like a starved Alpha that has just been released from its confines andd he kept taking and taking from any part thag he could. He latched his mouth on my left breasts and sucked on my pink rosy nipple. I arched my back weakly, my nails digging hard into his shoulders. All this felt so good. Adrians cock was still in me, his cum leaking out of me, staining the sheets as he sucked my breasts and massaged the other with his hand. He groaned and pressed in deeper into me, his cock becoming alive. "I can't stop, Aria. I can't...I want more." He groaned as he plunged deeper with his semi erected cock inside me. I writhed and wound my legs around him with difficulty, the pain shooting down my legs but I could bare it, Adrian was much deeper this way. Adrian was pounding into me in no time
ARIAI don't know how Adrian managed to calm me down just enough for the mating ceremony to take place. No, I didn't get to suck his cock. A loud knock had interrupted our sacred moments and we had to get ready for the mating. It was like a beast was unleashed and it now had to be calmed down. I found out that I wasn't ready for whatever it is, the mating ceremony. I wanted to lay in bed all day with Adrian's cock in my mouth while I rode out multiple orgasms till I was all dried up. In my opinion, I never accepted his rejection and even though I felt the intense pain of separation, I don't think it was to the maximum but Adrian remained thick in his decision and so did the minister apparently. The minister advised for another mating ceremony and another marking. At this time, I had a lot of Adrian's mark on my neck. I looked at the new minister with annoyance as he readied the bowls and sterilized his knife. Adrian stood beside me, his arm around my back in support, one I didn't n
ARIAThe physician gently proded my stomach in examination. He was at it for several seconds now. Even though Ferris had assured me I was still with child, I held my breath and still waited for his confirmation. I watched as he scrunched his eyebrows and narrowed his eyes on my healing branded mark before he looked up at me. His fore and middle finger pinned down on my arm for seconds before he smiled brightly at me. The answer was confirmed. I looked at Adrian immediately, who stood proud and tall with his feet apart in a different shirt than he was earlier. He appeared to be fancily dressed in his tight black breeches and brown boots. His eyes were dark as it caressed down my naked skin. That look, I knew too well. One of longing and need. "Congratulations Alpha Adrian. The Luna is with child." The physician lifted his hands and nodded his head with courage, that same bright smile still on his face. "Cosmos, shall be having an heir in due time, soon, I believe."Adrian had a very p
ARIAI sat on the bed with my feet dangling by the side, my palms caressing the sheets whike my eyes looked around the chambers as I patiently waited for Adrian with a beating heart. I wondered how he would react to my injuries. Some rumors, I heard, long ago, that Alpha's don't appreciate women with scars. Is that why Adrian wasn't by my side when I awoke? No one cared? I sighed. All good things, I hoped. I looked down at my flat stomach and lightly touched some parts. A gloomy feeling clouded me. I knew I had lost my baby. The branding, the stiches, the hard labor, the weakness and hunger, no. My pup was long gone. Even though I didn't recall any bleeding, I ruled that it was probably a memory I couldn't recall. My heart twisted in pain. I craved for a child, desperately. I wanted to birth Adrian a pup, a male, give him security that his line shall continue but somehow, I keep loosing my unborn pups. I just got to know about the pregnancy for a short while and I secretly was grat
ADRIAN"My lord. The clan head awaits for your arrival." Gregory's voice sounded farther than he was to me. My head was clouded with thoughts. Even as I held the pen loosely around my forefinger, I had barely gotten anything done this entire morning. My right palm cupped my cheeks as I stared into space. I had been thinking about Aria. It's been a fucking week and there was no improvement from her. This wait was the most difficult thing I had ever done. Being as impatient as I was, a week ago, I held the new physician by his collar, dragged him to my chambers and demanded he give me an update about her health while holding a dagger at his side. I was that desperate. The poor man had shivered in fear at my obvious act of monstrosity before raising his hands up to his face and begged for mercy. It took several minutes for the shit head to calm down before he took a good look at her. He didn't give me the news I wanted but at least I got relief. The physician confirmed her pregnancy w
