'Don't do it Kanyon, we can't let her know we've found a second chance mate. At least not yet,' Sinbad warned. Kanyon was itching to tell the priestess that the Moon Goddess had gifted him another mate, but his beast was correct. He couldn't spill the beans now, not until Jessica was in the loop and he felt she was safe. Constance had already passed a bill stating that if no one from the Blackwood bloodline came forward to claim the throne by the fifteenth year after Eleanor's and Melissa's deaths, then the kingdom and all its wealth would go to her and her adoptive daughter April. And who knew what she'd do if she finds out that the last Blackwood heir was the king's new mate. "Have I made myself clear?" Constance's voice boomed with authority. "Of course, priestess Constance," Kanyon nodded. "Then that's settled," she sighed. "I'll take a look around your castle grounds, and then I'll take my leave." "You're not staying the night?" Kanyon asked. "Don't act so sad, but
Kanyon waited for them all to catch their breaths. He shared every secret he had been holding in with them, including the fact that Jessica comes from royalty. "So my cousin is the last surviving Blackwood?" Ariel added. "I knew that girl was special all along." "Your Majesty, if this is indeed true and she is your mate, then you must marry her," Lucy added. "You shouldn't allow the priestess to push you into a marriage with Anna." "I agree. I love Anna. She's like family to me, but you have to do right by your mate first, King Kanyon. This is what the Moon Goddess wants," Alpha Daniel gave his two cents. "I'm fully aware of all this," Kanyon spat. "I still have eight months to figure something out." Cameron stayed silent during all of this. "Master Cameron, you haven't said a word," Alpha Daniel pointed out. "What are you thinking?" "Kanyon knows what I'm thinking," Cam huffed. "He shouldn't wait, he should marry, mate and mark Jessica as soon as possible." "Cameron,
Jessica walked back and forth, waiting for the escort Lucy had said would come to take her to her cousin, but she was getting frustrated and restless as nearly twenty minutes passed with no sign of anyone to accompany her. "That's it," she stomped her feet hard on the ground. "I'm going to the diamond wing to find Ariel's room myself," she said, deciding that she would not stand around and wait on this person. Plus, she had to learn how to navigate her way around the castle, anyway. She swung the door open and took a quick look outside. She rolled her eyes when she saw Zachery leaning against the wall, chewing on a toothpick. His smug face made her stomach churn. "What do you want?" She asked, folding her arms at her chest and waiting for his answer. This man had been trouble since the moment she met him. She knew his type, young, good-looking and conceited. He reminded her of Cory, and that alone was the only red-flag she needed to let her know to stay away from Zachery. "
"Ellie. You must come with me or the king will get suspicious." Zachery tried to drag Jessica along since she refused to ride his back. She realized his cold, hard eyes had nothing but wickedness in them. How could he be of the same kin as King Kanyon? Kanyon was so nice and had a kind heart. "How can you just stand here and pretend like you are a true follower of your king?" Jessica spoke with scorn. "I know you only brought me to the queen's keep to try to turn me against Kanyon. But it won't work," she scowled. "And my name is Jessica, not Ellie." "What?" "You called me Ellie," she snickered. "You two must have been pretty close for you to be calling her by her nickname. Seems you're the one who sees Ellie every time you look at me." He rolled his eyes. "No wonder your mate rejected you. You're so stupid." Jessica’s heart plummeted in her chest, hurt by his remark. She swallowed hard before she replied. “I may have been too trusting at one point in my life, but I'm far f
"Girl, I got the distress signal!" Ariel squealed. She dropped her bag next to the door before running into Jessica's arms. "I'm so glad to see you," Jessica sniffled, and soon her tears were wetting Ariel's shoulder. "Hey, honey. What's wrong?" Ariel pulled back so she could look at Jessica's face. "What's with the tears?" she used her thumbs to dry Jess's face. "King Kanyon. He's a big fat liar and a cheat.""Oh shit!" Ariel shrieked. She bent down and picked up her bag. "It's a good thing I brought booze and chocolates." She pulled out a fancy looking bottle holding a brown liquid. "But I'm not twenty-one yet," Jessica let out. "Girl please, with all the stress and issues we omegas deal with, we could easily pass for sixty, right?" Ariel wiggled her brows. "Come on, let's drink and talk about what that sexy king of yours did to have you crying like this."An hour later and the girls were slurring their words. Jessica was feeling much better as she finished telling Ariel about
"WHO THE FUCK IS BANGING ON MY DOOR AT THIS HOUR?" Kanyon roared as he stepped angrily from his bathtub and onto his ceramic tile covered floor. "Hold your damn horses!" He shouted. He was on edge because he hadn't seen Jessica since this morning, and had acted so cold towards him. Plus now he had to go spend the night with that energy draining she-wolf, thanks to his idiotic second. Kanyon wrapped a towel around his lower torso, not even bothering to dry his hair as he stormed towards his front door, he stopped in his tracks when he smelt the sweet smell of his mate seeping through the cracks of the door. He pulled it open. "Jessica, what are you doing here?" he asked, admiring how sexy she looked in that oversized sweater and bunny slippers she wore."I came to see you, buddy," she snarled, using her finger to poke his nipple. When she felt it hardened against her fingertip, she dropped her hand and held the king's gaze. His pupils were dilated with a playful smirk on his lips. "I
The sound of thunder grew louder, and the sky became even darker. Flashes of lightning shone through the glass windows and across Jessica's pretty face, illuminating her features. Kanyon could feel her breath warming his skin, and the rumbles of thunder sounded once more as if the sky were cheering them on. His eyes roamed over her chest, her perky breasts sitting firmly watching him. He licked his lips and asked, "Can I?" She nodded her head, biting on her bottom lip, shaking in his grasp as he teased her lips with his tongue. "No, Jessica, I need you to use your words," he fumed. "Can I suck your nipples?" "Yes, you can." A pink tint took over her nose and cheeks. Kanyon held her by her underarms, lifting her up and setting her to sit on the countertop. She propped one leg over his shoulder while he pressed the other down on the surface of the counter. With his long fingers, he shifted her underwear to the side. His middle finger didn't waste any time as it found her h
"So is he hot?" Falcon asked his friend as they staked out the gates leading to the Quail Ruins."Is who hot?" Reniece urged. "Come on, girl. You know who I'm talking about," the guy wearing the two layers of make-up asked. "Your mate, duh." He was summoned by his dearest friend to go on this mission. He just couldn't get over the fact that she had found her soulmate."Why did I ever open my big mouth and tell you I found my mate? I should have kept it shut," Ren sighed. “Just lower your damn voice before the guards notice us and make trouble.”"OK honey, but we are using that black card when we leave here. Mama needs some new lingerie," Falcon purred. "You know, for a rogue you're very high maintenance," Reniece pointed out. They were both masking their scents as they hid behind some shrubs that was situated before the gates leading up the hill to the Quail Ruins Mansion. "I wasn't born a rogue. You know my father kicked me out when I told him I am gay," Falcon explained. Ren kne
Kanyon licked at her neck, numbing it as best as he could before sinking his teeth into her skin. Jessica screamed and wailed, with tears pouring down her face and snot running from her nose. She pleaded with him to stop, eager to get off him. But Kanyon's powerful arms held her down on his shaft, his teeth tearing at her flesh, marking her. Then he felt it, her body relaxing as her arousal got even more intense. He took his fangs out of her neck and used his tongue to cover the cut with saliva to stop the bleeding. He quickly manoeuvred himself so she was lying on her back, and he was on top of her. She was moaning using her hands clawing at his back, wanting him to pump inside her. Kanyon grunted as he pulled out and slammed inside of her. "You belong to me!" he said with a deep voice, withdrawing and then thrusting back inside her. "Mine!" He roared, feeling Jessica's muscles fighting against his thrust. He felt the warm liquid drowning his cock as Jessica came on him. With one la
Kanyon swiftly directed his attention towards Jessica, meeting her gaze. "Kanyon, did you hear what I said?"Jessica asked. "I said I want to taste you." Her hand lowered down to his shaft, and she took it in her grip and gave it a squeeze. "I heard you the first time," he murmured, closing his eyes and appreciating the sensation of her hand stroking him. "Is that what you truly want? There's no need for us to do it tonight."Jessica used the middle of her hand to smear over the cusp of his dick, catching some of his pre-cum. After that, she lifted her palm to her face and licked his essence from it. "I am sure," she remarked with a cheeky grin, prompting Kanyon to grunt and widen his eyes. His eyes glowed when he watched her swallow his juice. "OK," came his smooth reply. He then positioned on his knees at the both sides of Jessica's head. Lying on her back, she raised her hands and caressed his thighs. Kanyon's height was making things a little difficult, so she perched herself up
While balancing Jessica in his arms, Kanyon had his mouth pressed against her lips as he struggled to open the door."Do you need some help?" Jessica asked while she watched him battle with the keys. "Is someone having trouble finding the hole?" She pouted. A quiet growl rumbled off his chest. "You're going to regret ever saying that once I get you inside this suite," Kanyon promised, finally getting the key in the door. He opened it, and stepped through. “Welcome to your new home,” he kissed her once more then locked the door behind him. He carried her to his bedroom and laid her on the bed. Jessica could see the moon through the window and another wave of heat crashed through her cells, sending pressure to her groin. She bit back a scream and gripped the sheets. Her head thrashed from side to side while her legs widened of their own accord. Kanyon's mouth watered when he saw the layers of her dress parting, revealing the silkiness of her thighs. Jessica couldn't wait, so she reac
Jessica cried as she listened to Kanyon proclaiming his undying love for her, and his smile grew wide when Jessica told him she had never loved another the way she did him. Once they had exchanged their rings, Lucy proudly declared them married. “May the Moon Goddess shine her blessings on the marriage of King Kanyon Coldblood and Princess Jessica Thornton. Tonight they have become one, joined under the moon as man and wife,” she announced. “Now they must mix bloods and complete this ceremony by drinking from the Golden Gauntlet." Golden Gauntlet? Jessica was puzzled at first, but then she saw Cameron present a small box to Lucy. Once Lucy opened it, a dazzling golden cup emerged that looked like something out of a fairy tale as it glowed like magic. It had countless rubies and gems decorating the rim, plus there were intricate designs of a lycan and the moon on the sides. It was a gorgeous piece. "Thank you, Master Cameron," Lucy nodded. She lifted the cup high above her head and
The night was heating up, and King Kanyon kept tugging at his shirt collar with his finger. He was on edge, and so was Sinbad. 'What if she changes her mind?' Sinbad asked, pacing around in Kanyon's head. 'She's coming. I know she is.'King Kanyon's eyes scanned the field around him, and he hoped Jessica found the venue pleasing. He wasn't too happy with himself. He thought she deserved a fairytale wedding, not a mock ceremony that was being held in the meadows deep into the woods. He stood there in his favourite tux, with his best man by his side. "Where is she? What is taking her so long?" Kanyon was getting anxious. "Don't worry. Alpha Daniel and Luna Ariel will get her here in time. Just relax," Cameron used a handkerchief to wipe the king's brows. Lucy was standing at the makeshift altar where an arch was beautifully decorated with white and blue moonflowers. "Keep still," she whispered to the king. "You're even making me nervous.""I'm sorry. I just can't wait to make Jessic
"Calm down, little wolf. Just breathe," King Tomas was standing over poor Jessica, who was hyperventilating. "I would show you how to, but I'm a vampire, and we don't use oxygen." Seeing the young girl this distressed fascinated him. It was like watching a monkey juggle. "Give her some space, you undead bastard. Your decaying flesh might be contaminating the air around her," King Osbourne roared. He used his shoulder to nudge Tomas aside. "Maybe it's that god-awful cologne you're wearing. Smells like the inside of a bawdy house," Tomas hissed. "And don't you ever shove me like that again, or I will bite you in the face.""At least my breath doesn't smell like a zombie's asshole," Ozzy retorted. "And keep those nasty yellow fangs away from me.""Enough. Both of you!" Alpha Daniel barked. "I don't want you two to rehash that terrible display of yours earlier. Please, let's just focus on the bride." Daniel handed Jessica a paper bag. "Here you go. Just breathe in it. We won't let anyth
Ariel and Jessica were laughing as Ariel adjusted the veil on Jessica's bun. "Hold still, girl. You don't want me to poke you with the pin." "I'm sorry, Ariel. I'm just too excited. I can't keep still,” Jessica squealed. “I’m so happy.”"I understand. I'm just so pleased I get to stand by your side. I just wish the entire kingdom could witness this blessing,” Ariel exhaled. She thought her cousin deserved to be getting married in the royal temple, but she understood why it had to go down this way. "I know, but remember, no one else, other than who already knows, should find out. I'm just happy Kanyon told you guys. I don't think I could do this without all of you,” Jessica smiled. "And it has been my honour serving you. You will be a great queen." They hugged. "Now let me go get Daniel before I start to cry." Ariel hurriedly left the room with happy tears running down her cheeks. The nervousness was slowly leaving Jessica’s body. Now she was grinning like a lovesick fool, feeling
The atmosphere around the two lovebirds fell eerily silent. If a pin were to drop, the sound would have echoed around the entire room. Jessica held her breath, waiting for Kanyon to say something or even do something. The big guy seemed to have forgotten how to breathe. 'Breathe, you idiot. I'm suffocating in here.' Sinbad was nipping at the surface, trying to get his human to inhale. Jess knitted her brows, finally realizing something was wrong. The king wasn't even blinking. "Kanyon?" She called his name. She shifted on his lap and used one hand to cup his face. "Kanyon, look at me," she pecked his lips, and no sooner did their mouths touch than the king gasped for air like a swimmer coming up from under the water after a long dive. "I hope I didn't freak you out. I understand if you're not ready to be with me in that way."Kanyon exhaled loudly. "Believe me, I want you more than anything else in this world. I was just surprised that you suggested it. You deserved to be proposed
JESSICA'S POVI was nervous. All eyes were on me as I sashayed down the steps. My palms glided over the smooth and polished surface of the rails. My lips quivered as I quietly muttered a prayer, begging the Moon Goddess to keep me from falling and making a fool of myself. The frosty, clear crystals and snowflakes dangled above my head like Christmas decorations. Lucy plus two male lycans dressed in black and white outfits were awaiting me by the edge of the stairs. They had trays of champagne with ice in their hands. "You look beautiful, Jessica," Lucy hastened to take my hand. I bowed in response. My eyes immediately flipped through the area, searching for one person in particular. Kanyon. "He's waiting for you in the Love Den," she said knowingly. She fixed a crystal tiara on my head that coordinated with my dress. "Courtesy of the King." It was a beautiful piece. "I feel like a princess," I giggled as my hands sailed up to help Lucy set the tiara on my head. "And you look like o
