 Chapter Three - And so it begins

As the king left his underground chambers he made his way up to the throne room, his last nerve tested as his staff made themselves busy around him. Maids hoovering and polishing about the many rooms and halls, his butler following in his wake giving an update of tonight newest arrivals. It was all unnecessary to him, he had never had any intention of marrying and yet due to an arrangement his father had made many years before he was even conceived.

Tonight would be the night he met his future bride. Well doesn't that just make your balls strival back up inside your body...oh and good old poppa didn't just pick out one bride, nope the old man had seen to it that he would wed and bed over twelve females this week, all to keep this so-called pure bloodline going and fulfilling some nonces prophecy that he did not fully understand. Looking up at the ceiling of the corridor he was walking down and rolling his eyes he imagined he was looking up at the heavens at his father's proud fearsome face. He felt chastised and restricted to the point of suffocation and yet he was the lord of his race and it was his duty to carry on the royal bloodline........if only he could talk his manhood into getting with the program because sure as shit biology might well take over, but if what lay before you wasn't to your taste your cock might just get a case of the shrivles, and isn't that just what you wanted to show to your now waiting wanting wife.

All this was assuming any female would even want him. He was mean-tempered, had a constant state of annoyance written in stone across his face at all times, not to mention he lacked any signs of compassion, kindness and affection. Rubbing his hand across his forehead as if to try and iron out the wrinkles setting up camp around his brow.

 His inner wolf spoke up with a mocking voice

"yer, your such a fucking catch".

"go back to sleep, Shadow. If you have nothing useful to say then don't add to my misery".

"Someone is touchy today" With his last comment Shadow retreated to the back of the King Zayn's mind. 

"Oh fuck off"

             

The voice behind him stopped his tailspin of inner demons. "Sir, did you say something? forgive me but it did not carry"

Looking behind himself as he came up to the double doors that opened out into the throne room he shook his head at the older male "No Grayson, I did not".

Pushing down on the heavy gold handles the large oak doors gave way to a vast dark space, The King had no need for light, he had spent over four hundred years in this old house and in that time he had learnt every inch of his domain, striding forward towards a large ornate golden throne, he took a seat as his butler continued to prattle on about tonight's ceremony and yet it dawned on him he hadn't taken in a single word. Holding up his right hand he stopped Grayson's monologue in an instant.

"Y-Yesss my....my Lord"? The look on Grayson's face was almost one of fear as he stuttered over his words.

Wishing to calm him a little but mostly to give his hearing a rest bite "I'm sure all the arrangements you have made are more than sufficient Grayson, now please leave me and go about your duties are guest will be arriving shortly"

Bowing Grayson took a few steps back his eyes firmly planted to the floor " As you wish my King"

Ushering the other staff out of the throne room as he left, Grayson bowed once more to the king as he closed the heavy oak doors in his wake. Leaving the king alone in the vast dark space. Looking around his throne room he could not help but think of his father. In his fathers time the throne room had been full of bright vivid colours from the vases of blooming roses placed on display around the large room,  but he thought that may have been more due to his mothers taste than his fathers. None of that was for him however no he liked function over decoration, his throne room was simple with black marble floors clean white columns, white walls and a white ceiling. the only real piece of decordance was his father's throne that had been passed down from father to son since the time of the first werewolf king. Yes, for him this space was just what it should be, a room in which he could meet and greet his subjects when needed, without the need for any of them to truly enter his home, it was close enough to the manors main entrance that know body had an excuse to wander anywhere they shouldn't, and big enough that he could hold a meeting with his soldiers or staff without anyone having to enter his families private part of the house. 

To his side were three empty ornate chairs each awaiting his sisters Isabella, Demeter and Olivia. Hearing a lot of noise just outside of the throne room Zayn growned as he looked at his watch, it was time and once motions were set into action there was no stopping them. The doors opened once more as Zayn took a deep breath his sisters all dressed in white filled into the room one by one, making their way to him they all bowed before him before taking their seats. 

Tradition dictated there were only three males to be present during the first meeting of a betrothed couple the soon to be the groom, father of the Bride and a witness which in this case would be one of his brothers and Beta Pontus. Pontus walked into the room his confidence radiating from every poor of his body, giving a quick smile to his sisters he made his way to Zayn, clasping his outreached hand he patted his brother on the back, whispering in his ear.

 "cheer up brother, anyone would think you had just been given a death sentence" releasing Zayn from the quick embrace, he took his place standing just behind the throne before shouting out, " let's get this over with shall we".

Grayson, appeared in the doorway of the throne room, closely followed by a tall female and portly male. stepping to the side Grayson announced this is the wedded couple Alexandra and Thero, accompanied by their daughter Aella. As the couple came forward Zayn stood to his feet to greet the couple, Theo and Alexadra fell to their knees in front of him revelling a tall female standing behind them, dressed in a bright pink gown and a traditional black veil covering her face from view. The colour of her dress stung his eyes, ignoring the kneeling male and female he approached the female, walking around her watching her chest go up and down as she took one breath followed by another. The kneeling couple watching on as they mumbled ancient prays of hope. Zayn could sense nothing from this female other than want and desire she wanted this mating and that suited him just fine. He looked at the female's mother and father.

 "thank you for your offering, what is your daughter's special abilities given by the goddess?" 

They looked at each other before the father answered the king's question. " she has a touch that change's a person's mood, if your majesty was feeling down or angry our daughter can help to relive your mood, the same way a fated mate could".

"very well, you may say your goodbye's" 

The king replied before going back to the throne and sitting down, he watched as the family said goodbye to their daughter, hugging each other while the mother weeped. He cursed his father once more before the female was removed and the next brought in.

She should have been pleased the male hadn't spoken to her, after all, what would she say to this stranger? but she wasn't happy, sad or even indifferent to his actions. No, she was angry, so angry that her body began to shake even more, she was angry with the life. She had been given the life that now belonged to this male, she was angry that for a lifetime she had lived in silence and now here she was again in silence, her hands began to tighten turning into fists, her knuckles going white. She had never felt this way before and it shocked her to her core. She had always known this day was coming and she had accepted her fate long ago but now as she stood there with this stranger looming over her anger bubbled up from the pit of her

As Zayn was about to shake his brother of and sucker punch the fucker for getting in the way he caught a glimps of himself in the large mirror hanging over the fireplace on the opposite wall.

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 wolves and torture them for informa

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

I looked to Almeda and the princesses, stating the instructions as dictated to me by Iris. “Isabella please take Almeda's hand, Demeter take Isabella’s hand”. I took Almeda’s hand in mind and held my free hand out for Olivia. “Oliver and Demeter, I need you both to reach across the bed and hold each other’s hands. In creating a link between all our wolves, Iris will use our energy and transfer that energy to Almeda. All you need to do is relax, allow your wolf to come to the front of your mind, and most importantly do not break the circle”.I turned to the doctor and nurse who stared at me like I had grown an extra head. My voice became a little more deep and gravely as Iris pushed forward “How are we progressing, doctor?” Pulling himself together, the doctor got to work plac

Sisters you are all needed in the delivery room, males we will need you here to help Pontus, this will be a hard labour, we will need you all to keep Pontus calm”I heard numerous replays along the link before dropping it and returning my attention back to Almeda and Pontus.“How did you do that?” Pontus asked “Do what?” I replied confused.“You opened a mind link to multiple people, who aren't in your pack only t

To not only be your lover, but your confidant, your best friend, the other half of your soul, the person who will complete you. I can’t help but sigh before taking a deep breath and plastering a blank expression on my face before entering Arwens room. Instead of my brothers, I hope to catch them off guard. Walking to the door that leads into the communal area, I quietly open the door just a crack before using my heightened hearing to listen into the females on the other side of the door.“I still can’t believe the king would request, that little whore to his room!”“I know there is nothing special about the girl”“The king must be just using her and keeping the female he actually wants pure and untouched until the mating ceremony.”“That’s a very good point, all these females

We entered the room before Zayn closed the door behind us with his foot, and in hurried steps took me to the bed. He placed me down gently at the edge of his bed, he began kneeling on the floor in front of me, looking me in my eyes. He said with so much love on his face “ if at any time, my love, you want me to stop just tell me. I want this to be enjoyable for both of us” I nodded my head a little too eagerly causing his eyes to turn unbeliverly dark with lust. “I think it's only right tha

I wasn't too sure how she was still able to breath. “Zayn, please take a breath and calm yourself and shadow down, if you squeeze Arwen any harder, she won't be able to breath”. I told him while shaking my head, male wolves are so damn annoying. I waited a moment before for Zayn to allow Arwen a little bit of freedom from his death grip, “Arwen, how are the two of us going to deal with the rogues?” “Honestly, I don't know all the details yet, I'm sorry, but Iris is insisting only the two of us can do this, and we will find our answers in the nearby human territory.” she replied, but the answer did nothing to quell my worry. Arwen has no training and although her wolf is powerful she has only just been fully connected with Iris, not to mention Arwen has never left her parents house, what would it be like for her to step into the real world, it could be sens

Females from all packs came to the kingdom, to try and throw themselves at me all to become the next Queen. It angered me even more, and I’ll admit I used them as entertainment, as they wanted to use me, but then I met you. That first night I didn't fully understand the pull I had to you, you didn't know I was the king, yet you wanted me regardless. You even worried I would get hurt or in trouble for being your mate. Never once worried that meeting your mate meant you would not get to be the king's mate. I loved you for that and my cold heart started to beat again. I knew I was blessed the moment I looked into your eyes.” It felt strange and also like a huge wait had been lifted off my shoulder as I finally spoke out loud what was hidden in my heart. The others in the room blurred in my vision, as if it was only the two of us in the room.“As

    Chapter 19 Pontus’ POV I'd been in my office for hours, with Almeda sitting on one of the couches with her feet up balancing the book she was reading on her swollen belly. Having her close at that moment helped to keep my wolf calm enough to get some work done.I went over what little information I had from the documents I had found in the library. From what I could gather, my mother and father held a meeting with a seer about Zayn and his mate. Although there is information missing, it foretold of a powerful wolf who is fated to be our next queen. She will arrive on the 27th day of the third month. Together, the king and queen would rid our species of the wolves who sought to harm those wolves who could not defend themselves. That’s where it ends, a tear in the paper prevents any more of the document from being read. The 27th March is the date of birth of all the females brought to the royal pack in order to marry Zayn. The only conclusion I can take from this is that Father and m

    Chapter 17 Zayn gently placed Arwen on the edge of the bed in a seated position so happy that his mate was willing to accept him. This thought was making his whole body buzz, in the back of his mind his wolf continuing to demand they complete their mating. However, he tried to remind him of the situation they were in. Kneeling in front of his mate he looked into her hooded eyes that were filled with lust, her face flushed, no doubt her own wolf also demanding to complete the mating. “You are so beautiful my love, if at any time you want me to stop please tell me, OK? We might not be able to fully finish our mating but we can at least satisfy ours and our wolves need’s” he said with a seductive smile spreading across his face. Arwen bit her bottom lip and nodded her head in confirmation, allowing him to continue, as her wolf howled in happiness in the back of her mind. “I want to hear you say it, my love, tell me you want me as much as I want you” he needed to hear her voice to giv
