When I realized I had been pacing my rooms for twenty minutes, I shook my head and made myself stop.
She was my mate. She loved me. And I loved her. She was preparing for her first true duty as Queen, and I was nervous like a puppy at his first Rite. It was stupid.
She still welcomed me every night, and falling into her arms was the highlight of my day. She was going to be beautiful—in the dress I arranged for her.
It was time to put this tension aside and just be together.
So, taking both a metaphorical, and briefly, a literal grip on my balls, I strode out of the room and towards her chambers, nodding to acknowledge a

~ CASIMIR ~I reached for her skirts and she pulled her head back out of the kiss, so I started on her neck again, but she was gasping.“Don’t wrinkle the dress—please, Cazz.”With a guttural growl, I picked her up, dress and all and started carrying her out of the closet towards the bed. Her hands clawed at my hair and she sucked on my neck as I carried her over to the bed, then dropped her ass onto the edge of it.She gave a little squeak of dissatisfaction, but her eyes gleamed as I descended on her, taking her mouth with mine, and her hips in my hands.When I felt the jolt of her need in the bond, I chuckled breathlessly, then grasped her hips and flipped her over, dropping quickly to grab the h

~ JESSE ~“More!” I gasped.Then he gave a moan so primal, the wave of my orgasm threatened to crest. I shuddered, shivered, goosebumps washing down my legs and up my spine.I was crying out, over and over, frantic, shaking, but I could do nothing but move my body to meet him because he had me pinned between his hips and his arm that was still planted on the bed over my shoulder.“Jesse… I need… you…”“Yes, Cazz… yes.”With a tormented cry he unleashed, hammering into me,

~ JESSE ~Standing next to Cazz on that dais at the top of the Audience Chamber, the entire spectacle left me breathless. I felt like I had walked a hundred years back in time… or maybe into a fantasy novel.When we’d first gone to the servants so they could fix my dress, I was mortified. But it struck me that this was going to happen every time. My only options were to get used to it and enjoy myself, or spend a good chunk of my life blushing and stammering.I did not want to be that woman. I wanted them to see my strength. I wanted to be a mate Cazz could be proud of. So, after that initial shaky moment when the servants were smiling a

~ JESSE ~After our lovemaking, while Cazz had helped me straighten my clothes as best I could, he’d hurriedly explained the events of the night.He would address the wolves, welcoming them and reminding them of the historic nature of the occasion, and warn the males on how to address their conflicts when more than one shared an interest in a female. He would give them the date for their return and declaration of mates—another formality, since the pairings would be approved by Cazz and the Alphas of the packs in the week between this rite, and the banquet that closed the Selection for this season. Then there would be the Calling. At least, that’s what I remembered. Cazz hadn’t been entirely clear on the times.“The events will happen as they happen, Jesse. There is no time set, except fo

~ CASIMIR ~Jesse was stunning. So stunning, it was difficult to focus on the traditions playing out in front of us. These Selections were a lot of annoying pomp, but they always served to bring the wider packs together, and cement the links between families.Politically, they allowed those in strength to remind the others why they had been chosen. And within the packlink, they reaffirmed the hierarchy in very clear ways, even as they offered to shift power if the right alliances were made in mate-pairs.Usually, I looked forward to these events. But tonight, my attention kept turning back to my mate who watched everything wide-eyed and whose pulse fluttered with her nerves.I knew she’d been looking forward to this as well—her first true outing as Queen, as s

~ CASIMIR ~‘She calls a lowborn wolf?’‘A prophetess?’‘She has not even finished her apprenticeship!’‘Is this a joke?’‘Does the human think to weaken the bloodlines since she hasn’t been able to bear her own young?’‘Has the King indulged his human—?’‘QUIET, ALL OF YOU,’ I snarled in the link. ‘Your Queen speaks. Listen.’

~ CASIMIR ~‘Call me for my declaration. NOW!’ I hissed at Rake in the link.He blinked, then jerked his head forward, calling for everyone’s attention as Jesse took her place back at my side. She was looking at me uncertainly, reaching for my hand again.And I took it. Damn me, but I took it.Let them make of that what they would.“Our night is almost over,” I barked at them, reminding the Alphas who were looking agitated, like they might actually rush to me now, that this was not the time. The pack was bubbling, no longer hiding their shock and disapproval, openly leaning into each other. The mind links would be awash.

~ JESSE ~There was a strange clenching in my chest at those words from Cazz. He hadn’t shut down in the bond, so I could feel him—angry and apprehensive, and his simmering pride as well. There was a lot of conflict in him, but when I looked at him, all I could see was an utterly self-assured King, eyeing those approaching him as if they were annoyances.I prayed that’s all they could sense, too, though with the wolf scent and bonds… who knew?“Cazz—”“Quiet.” He bit the word off, his eyes never leaving the males moving towards him. “Do not waver. Do not question me. And do. Not. Speak. Not unless you are asked to do so specifically. So help me, Jesse, you have got to let me handle this.”

~ CASIMIR ~I was pretty sure if I didn’t get inside her, I was going to eat her alive.Scooting with her in my lap, still straddling me, I got her so both my knees and her back were flat against the wall. Then I flipped open the wide, leather cuffs that had been secured directly to the wall and first lifted one of her hands, to strap it in so her hand was levered above her shoulder, but with her arm comfortably bent so she could relax. Then I did the same with her other hand on the other side.So I straddled the banana-seat, while she straddled me and her hands were secured to the wall behind her.Her breasts rose and fell with her heavy breathing, and her eyes were bright with desire.Overwhelmed again with how much thought she’d put into this, for a moment I just took her face in my hands and kissed her. But that drew us together—my cock pressing against her, and I couldn’t resist rolling my hips, teasing

~ CASIMIR ~“I made a new Den,” Jesse whispered, her hands over her mouth, staring up at me—those beautiful eyes wide, but also a little fearful. “I know it’s not the same, but I got Ghere to help me because he remembered what things you’d had before and… I hope you like it.”Like it? Was she serious?My heart was slamming against my ribs, and I was having trouble breathing.The room seemed smaller than I remembered because the walls were painted a dull black. But the tighter space than what I’d had down next to the Den just made it feel more intimate.There were two lamps, one on each end, and a chandelier high above. Candles everywhere, though she hadn’t lit mo

~ JESSE ~It was Cazz’s turn to plan the monthly date. But I was humming about this one. Things were finally ready, and impossibly, Ghere had helped me successfully pull off the surprise. But I still had to figure out how to get Cazz there without ruining it.He’d taken me out to the meadow again—my favorite date. Though we’d enjoyed several others now too—and we’d just finished eating. He was leaning back against the cab of the truck, looking out at the city lights, his brows a little heavy.“What are you thinking about?” I asked him, though I had a hunch.He had his arm around me and I was leaning on his shoulder. His hand trailed up and

~ CASIMIR ~I came out of the bathing room after a long bath rubbing my hair with a towel, to find my mate standing in the middle of the chamber with her arms folded and looking sternly at my daughter, who sat on the floor in nothing but a diaper, with her chubby legs straight out. She, too, had her arms folded and her lips pursed in the perfect reflection of her mother.The two glared at each other and half my heart went cold, while the other half wanted to splutter with laughter.“Abigail, I have told you—”“No!”Our daughter could only get her tongue around a few words so far, but

~ JESSE (a few weeks later) ~I had just finished nursing Abigail and was holding her on my lap while Reeca sat with me on the couch.Her eyes were bright and she was beginning to smile, so I was tickling her cheeks to see if I could get her to do it. But she was sleepy because she’d just eaten and only yawned and cooed.“She’s a very calm baby,” Reeca commented from the other end of the couch, smiling. She loved babies, and had been so helpful when I was tired—and just for reassurance for me.She was a calm presence in any room, and with Abigail, she showed a lot of delight and joy that she seemed to stifle in other areas of her life.“Reeca,” I said carefully, because I’d b

~ JESSE ~I was too tired to do more than lift my hands to his neck, so I just curled my face into his chest and let him settle us into the chair, cradled in his arms with my ass in his lap.When he’d sat, I had my head resting on his shoulder and my body curled in his arms.“Do you hurt?” he asked quickly.“No, just tired, like I said.”I felt him relax a little then and another chill started in my blood.“Cazz… what’s happened?” I asked quietly.He turned his head to meet my eyes and lifted his hand to comb hair back from my face. His throat bobbed, but his touch was g

~ JESSE (Hours later) ~My dreams were disturbing—my body in pain, screams of terror, darkness, the floor shaking, the mountain falling, humans fleeing and wolves…I tried to break free, tried desperately to open my eyes and to speak, because I knew I was asleep. But all I did was fade… in and out. The nightmares, or nothing.And through it all, his voice.“Heal… live.”My heart ached. My body hurt. My chest didn’t want to expand. It was as if my flesh fought his words, and I didn’t understand.But finally, the dreams faded and I could hear a heartbeat. Little, and quick. And feel warm flesh. And the breath of my m

~ CASIMIR ~I felt the moment the power went out of Jesse. The entire mountain felt it.I howled with triumph and shifted, sprinting towards the room, ecstatic when there was no sense of Maya gripping my mind or stealing anything from me. But of course, there was no power left for her to steal.I prayed and pleaded and ran, Rory and the others coming in my wake. And the moment I broke through that door in my wolf—the only power left to me anymore—everything slowed. Though my body whipped and my mind was singularly focused, it was as if everything happened in slow motion.I caught a bare glimpse of Jesse on the bed, and at first my heart leaped. She was moving, awake, aware,

~ JESSE ~Maya had me sitting up in the bed, curled forward, gripping my knees. Reeca on one side, helping prop me up, a guard on the other.My body was nothing but a conduit for pain. Wave after wave, my entire lower body condensing, contracting, pushing to get this baby out. I could barely think.Cazz was there, so quiet, so distant, but there, calling his encouragement and pushing love at me through the bond.There was a moment when I thought I wouldn’t make it, when I thought my body would give and I would just drift away.But then I caught Maya smiling.
