OliverHer lips tasted sweeter than I anticipated. She responded, and it pushed my need to touch her through the roof. It took everything I had to release her, so we could both catch our breaths.“I’m sorry, I shouldn’t have, but you asked.” I was completely out of my element. I had women before, but I had never been this attracted to any of them! I had never been as rude to someone as I was with her in those first moments we met, but I was just in shock. I knew at that very moment I saw her for the first time that I would give my life to protect her and that was infuriating.To know that there was someone that would be carrying my heart from that moment on. Someone that could hurt me, so deeply, it could kill me if they left. The feelings were overwhelming me and for a moment I took it out on her. I looked at her as she stood in front of me smiling.“You are right. I did ask.” She turned, and we walked on while I stuffed my hands right back into my pockets. If I didn’t, I might just
ElizabethOur families had a million questions, which was understandable and laughter rang through the dining room while Oliver and I explained what happened and how we came to our decision. It felt as if accepting each other had opened the channels for communication in such a way that there was absolutely nothing we couldn’t talk about.Just trusting that the moon goddess knew what was best and going with it had freed us both. It basically freed all of us to just talk openly. I had made a life-changing decision after Oliver told me how he felt about his home, and I was excited to inform everyone that I wanted to move to his home. Everything I learned while I was with the witches would finally be put to work.I could finally dig my hands into the dirt again the same way I did back there. My family was happy to hand my current responsibilities to others, and it seemed as if everything was going well until my brother cleared his throat.“There is just one thing I’m concerned about. You
ElizabethThe time flew by, and it felt as if I just blinked, and I was standing in front of my mirror again, dressed for my mating ceremony. I had lost count of how many times I prayed over the past week for the moon goddess to just bless this day. It was one of the reasons I didn’t want to take too long before having it. I was scared the same thing would happen. I was scared we would be attacked and I would lose Oliver.My white dress flowed around my body while the bodice clung to my body. It was perfect. It was completely different to the one I picked to wear before. It was nothing like the royal ball gowns I always wore for official events. It was very simple in comparison, but this time I felt like myself. My parents showed up minutes before the ceremony and I could see that they were very happy for me.We had straightened out all the possible problems there would be if I moved out of the kingdom and all around me my boxes were packed and ready to leave with me. It was strange t
OliverWe had finally come to the moment, and it was overwhelming. Her body had been teasing me so much over the past week that I constantly had trouble getting comfortable in my pants. Now that I finally had her in my arms, all I could think about was marking her and making her mine. My wolf instincts took over completely, and I had to force myself to remember to take it easy. It was her first time. It was going to hurt.ElizabethIt was agonizing to take it slow, but I understood why he was doing it. I had read somewhere that the anticipation was better than the actual act. I guess I will find out soon enough. I could feel his hands shaking just a little as they slipped up my back and slowly slipped my shoulder straps from my shoulders. My night dress fell to the floor the moment Oliver moved away from me.He walked around me and I closed my eyes trying to take it all in. When he stood behind me, I felt him breathing in my scent as he pulled me tightly up against his arousal for a m
ElizabethI woke up in Oliver’s arms and smiled. My parents always made me feel safe and loved, but it was different to this. I felt so loved and protected that I could very well spend the rest of my life right there. Oliver stirred behind me and I could have sworn I felt his arousal. Seconds later, I smiled. I did feel his arousal, and I wiggled my butt just a little.“That is not a safe thing to do angel.” His voice gave me goosebumps as I burst out laughing. He turned me around in his arms and I smiled. “Good morning, did you sleep well?” He pushed the hair out of my face and kissed me before I could even answer.“Good morning. Yes, very and you?” I traced the line of his shoulder after we finally broke our kiss.“Like a baby.” He grinned before throwing the covers away and jumping out of bed. “But, I’m sure the pack wants to see their new Luna, so get a move on.” He winked but I didn’t move. I wanted to try out my new-found sex appeal and stretched my naked body, noticing the inst
ElizabethOliver and I didn’t go away on honeymoon since there was just too much to do, but it didn’t bother me. I loved being able to finally put my knowledge to the test. We built his parents' garden faster than anticipated and when the entire pack gathered to look at it, I felt pride in my work. In all of them. So many pitched in to plant flowers and grass that it all came together beautifully.Oliver’s mother had tears in her eyes when we revealed the finished product. She had told me a couple of weeks earlier that she saw the gardens at the castle when she was a little girl and had wanted something like that since she was a little girl. I was glad that we could give it to her. I even convinced my family to sponsor some of the flowers right out of the castle garden to round things off and give it that special look.All around the sides there were beautiful flowers with grass divided by walkways and a small fountain in the centre. Oliver built four benches that were placed around t
ElizabethOliver and I decided we were going to split up because of this. He would stay behind and protect the pack since we were convinced the werecats would come for our prisoner. I was taking the prisoner to my brother. If the werecats thought they could attack the princess of the Lycan kingdom, they would have to think again! We didn’t waste time and within an hour I was ready to go. Oliver pulled me into his arms and kissed me before resting his forehead on mine.“I know you can protect yourself, but please, please be safe. I won’t survive if something happens to you. Keep your eyes and ears open and don’t, under any circumstances, untie the prisoner.” He sighed deeply and I nodded.“I won’t.” I kissed him before pulling out of his arms.“We will take good care of her, alpha.” My future gamma guard promised and I smiled. Their training had gone well so far, but they weren’t ready to protect me all on their own just yet. My royal guards still had to be there as well. As our group
ElizabethMy family hadn’t prepared to stay very long, which meant that when the werecats didn’t attack two days later, they had to return to the castle. The men seemed to agree that the werecats were playing the long game. They somehow knew the royal family was visiting and either they weren’t ready to attack yet, or they perhaps didn’t want to take them on.It infuriated me to live in this kind of limbo. I hated trying to guess what my enemy was up to. I hated having enemies. If we had done something to them, I could understand, but we hadn’t. They were just being greedy. I sighed as we said goodbye to my family and watched them disappear into the forest. It was nice having them there, but life had to go on.We would all still be living in a constant state of wondering when we were going to be attacked. Oliver was convinced the werecats were trying to lull us into a false sense of security. He was sure they were going to attack as soon as they thought we had forgotten about them. Wh
