Chapter 9 - Face to facePontus and his wife Alema retired to their section of their family home, Pontus being the second oldest and his brothers and most trusted advisor had become weary after today's events. He had personally seen to it that each of the families were transported to the manor on time and in the correct order from the time of birth. Each family was handsomely rewarded for the arrival of their daughters and quickly sent on their way. Alema had organised all the female's rooms including their communal area, handing picking everything from the books they had available to their furniture, bedding and toiletries.Walking over to their bed they were ready to climb straight into bed without even undressing, but no matter how tired Pontus was he would always treat his mate like the princess she is. Picking her up he placed her on the bed before bending to his knees and removing her high heels, giving her feet a gentle rub before moving his hands up her thighs, he would alway
Chapter 10 - RougeDamon stood in a hovel of a home. His inside man working in the royal pack had not returned any of his messages, meaning one of two things, he had either been caught or he had been spooked and fled the area. Two of his most trusted men were currently ripping the place apart, all his belongings were still there."Fuck! Let's get the hell out of here, this place stinks. The idiot is probably dead" he growled out.Both men stopped what they were doing and followed their leader outside to a waiting sleek black car. Damon sat in the passenger seat of the car waiting for his men to get in the back before instructing the driver to take them home. Driving back to their hideout he grew tired, closing his eyes and thinking about how many people he still had in the royal pack. It frustrated him to know he could not take them down, not without a solid plan and information on the layout of their packhouse. Sure they would sometimes kidnap servants and torture them for informati
POV - Arwen My heart was pounding in my chest as my mate pulled me impossibly closer to him, before he broke our kiss and he rested his forehead against mine as we both caught our breaths. He spoke first as my eyes slowly opened, looking straight into his love-filled eyes. "my beautiful mate." I could not help but blush, until my brain seemed to register what had just happened. I am here to marry another male, and yet I have found my mate. Panic started to rise within me as I became worried for my mates safety if they were to be found out. No, I could not think about that right now, not when my mate was standing right infront of me. As he pulled his head away from mine, I suddenly felt unhappy at the loss of the skin contact. As I looked up into my mates eye’s, he took my hand and led me deeper into the room. When I took the room in for the first time it was dark with lowlights, but I could still see the grandness of the room. The flooring was made of dark wood spanning across th
Leaving Arwen in bed and placing a note on her bedside table, finding it unbelievably hard to let go of her sleeping form, all he and Shadow wanted was to climb back in bed with her ensuring he kept her safe and close in his arms. He walked quickly while mind-linking with his siblings asking them all to meet him in his office. He didn't care if he had woken them up, his mind was in turmoil. He and Shadow itched to be with their mate, the bond was so strong that every step he took away from her room caused his chest to ache. Then there was the issue with the other eleven brides. Rubbing his aching chest, he realised he had been so much in his own thoughts he had already arrived in front of his office. Pushing the door to the office open he took long strides straight to his desk, waiting for the others to arrive. His office was just as his father had left it. The large room contained an extravagant desk and a spacious seating area with creamed coloured wallpaper adorning the walls, giv
Isabella, Demeter and Olivia knew what they had to do, but their excitement was contagious as they passed by some of their household staff along the way to meet with the brides, and their new sister in law. The only way to enter the communal room was to either go in via one of the brides rooms or the king’s. The princesses decided to use Zayn's room as their entrance for two reasons, one it was easier for them to access and two it would be interesting to see the look on the bride's faces when they think their king was about to enter the room. Isabella always loved a bit of mischief especially if that mischief has a purpose. Entering their eldest brother's chambers. The three women waited within the room for a short while, knowing when they entered a green light would have come on above the door in the communal area to show the king was in his chambers. While they waited for the news to spread around all the brides, they sat on the bed smiling at the game they were about to play. You
Chapter 14 Zayn’s POV Zayn got up from his throne and headed to the door, without a word spoken to the three other males. As he approached the door he turned looking to the two pup’s as they hung their heads feeling defeated, even Pontus looked confused. “Come on, I don’t have all day” I told the other males as I turned my heels and continued to walk. I made my way to my office while mind-linking Pontus “would it be wrong to have a little fun before I tell them about my mate?” “You’re the King brother, where you lead I follow” Pontus replied with a chuckle. “Good answer brother” a smirk crept on my lips as I pulled open the doors of my office to find Grayson cleaning up. “Grayson we need some privacy, but please stay close by incase we need you.” “Yes, my King” Grayson replied before bowing and leaving the room. I stand behind my desk while pointing to the two seats facing my desk. I take my seat as the two young males take a seat in front of me. Pontus stays by the door, cl
Chapter 15 Pontus PVO After leaving the twins with Grayson I headed for the library. We have a main library that any pack member can access on pack grounds. But there was also a restricted area that was monitored by cameras, motion detectors and a fingerprint scanner. This is where we keep items of value, such as books and parchments passed down over centuries to each new generation that are too fragile or confidential. Walking up to the heavy metal door at the back of the large library, I placed my finger into the scanner and looked up into the security camera above the door. I used to call this my second home before I met my mate. I would spend hours here going over every piece of information I could find, soaking up as much about our species history as I possibly could. Now however my mate is my home, wherever she goes I will follow, and being away from her at this moment is torture, but I have work to do and my family is relying on me. The room was temperature controlled with
Chapter 16 Zayn’s POV With the help of a few maids, I had half of my clothing sent to my room next to the brides’ chambers, and ordered for some female clothing in Arwen’s size to be sent to my underground chambers, in the hope that one day soon, Arwen would be sharing my room with me. Just the thought of her sharing my room, and my bed, brought a smile to my face. My sisters had not long finished training with the females and gave me a full update on all of them, but the only one I truly cared about was my mate. I was shocked to hear she had no form of training. Although I knew she had been sheltered from the outside world, I would have thought her parents would at least be smart enough to ensure their daughter could protect herself. We all have wolves that need to exercise and run, either in our human forms or our wolf form. It was yet another question I would have to ask Arwen or her brothers about. For now I would concern myself with why I am here. I spotted Aston and Preston
