Alder's POV
"She is already my mate. What else can I do? No matter how much I wanted to stay with Clover, I just couldn't because she lost her title to Monique," the stupid alpha said. I talked to him and his new mate with his father and mother, as Lance was always with me.I am going to let them go for now, as today is Luna's ceremony, and I can't wait to tell Clover that she's mine. I was preparing myself in the villa, and Lance was as excited as me.For six days, I tried my hardest to stop myself from coming or looking for her. My Lycan was furious because of that, but I managed to calm him down as I promised to go and bring her with us in time."Let's go and get her highness already, Your Highness," Lance teased, and I liked it. I wonder how Charles would react when we came back with my queen."Let's go and be ready.""I was born, ready. It was in fact my surname." He replied happily, so I laughed with him before we headed for the training ground where the ceremony would be held.John decided to do it there, so Annie did all the decorations as she led the omegas. We arrived a little early so they wouldn't think that, just because I am royal, I had the right to be late."Lance," I called him as the ceremony was almost over."She's here now?" he asked, and I nodded. I could smell her, and I tried to find her but failed.Then, we heard a clap right after the ceremony ended. Then there she is, my mate, walking confidently in her violet, flowy, long tube dress with a slit on both her legs that almost reached her hips. Is that even a slit? Is she even wearing her panties?"What is going on, Clover?" John asked, but I could sense that he was worried."Clover, my princess. I thought you were not going to attend?" Her dad asked. In the past few days, I have tried everything I could to find out everything about her, especially her family."I changed my mind," she replied, and her voice was fu****good and sounded so good. "Why am I not allowed to attend either?"Of course not!" her dad replied. He might be worried that she might hurt herself by seeing the ceremony that was supposed to be hers."Why are you here, Clover? What did I tell you to do?" The stupid alpha asked, as though warning her, so I couldn't help growling, which made them look at me."Clover, I defeated you when I challenged you for the title; why can't you just accept it?" Monique asked, looking sad and hurt."I don't care about the title. I don't care if this woman loses to you. What I care about is the fact that both of you a**holes did everything to make this woman lose and die!" Clover yelled. The crowd was whispering about what she was talking about."Clover, as much as I wanted you to be the pack's Luna over Monique, the fact that you lose fair and square will only cause you trouble in the future. So please, stop now, dear," Annie said, and my mate laughed. Her parents were looking at her, then approached her. I guess they were on her side."Fair and square? Did you think she won fair and square?" She asked angrily."Vlad was very worried and hurt when Monique challenged you. He was ignorant about the challenge, so he couldn't think of anything to prevent that from happening," Annie replied."He was never hurt or worried about me; he was happy. He hurt me by banging that snake of a bitch for a week until before our fight. I was in pain and asked your bastard of an alpha to delay the fight until I felt A LITTLE OK. You heard that, A LITTLE OK and not to be actually OK, but he refused. Do you know what he did while I was in a coma? He rejected me!""You shut the hell up! I am your alpha, so you better submit to me, and I am telling you to leave this instant, bitch!" Stupid, Vlad said, which made me lose control."How dare you disrespect and call my mate a bitch?" I asked angrily. Now, everyone was in chaos. The stupid alpha's eyes widened, as did those of Monique, John, Annie, and even her parents."Who the hell is your mate, and what the fu** does your mate have anything to do with us? And who the hell are you?" Clover asked continuously, which made everyone gasp, and her parents tried to stop her. But I don't mind her use of wording at all. So I approached her, but every time I got closer to her, I saw on her face that she started to get confused.Then she sniffed. She could smell me now, which made me and my Lycan smile internally. "What's that smell?" she asked, looking at her parents, who were on both sides of her."What smell?" her mother asked and then looked at me."Like sandalwood and morning dew? It smells so good." She replied precisely when I was standing before her. She's very small. "It's you; what's your perfume brand? I will buy it for my dad; it's good," she said, and I wanted to laugh."He doesn't smell like sandalwood and morning dew, princess," her dad said."It's really him," she replied, and she even sniffed at me to make sure. Her scent was so intense now that we were standing before each other, so I held her, but she was shocked and jerked."What's that? Do you have some kind of electric current power?" She asked while looking into my eyes."That, my love, is what you call the mate bond," I told her, and her eyes widened."No way. Just how many mates does a wolf have? No, I don't like another mate or boyfriend, whatever it is called. I am done with cheating men, and I am not going to let myself get fooled again," she said as she moved away from me, and that hurt like shit."I think we need to talk," I told her."No way! With the electric current feeling you gave me, I don't think that's a good idea," she replied, and I got a feeling that she was going to stand firm on that. So, I needed to do what I had to do."Lance,""Yes, Your Highness?""Take care of things here.""No problem, take your time," he replied, so I carried Clover like a sack of rice on my shoulder. Goddess, she's really petite."You a**hole put me down!" She screamed as she continued hitting me on my back. I can feel some of her hits, and she's fu****g strong."You better stop now!" I warned her."No way! You put me down now!" She replied.I slapped her on her butt, and goddess; it was so plump. Her scent was making my Lycan go crazy, and now I had to calm them both."How dare you slap me!" She shouted again, and I didn't think she would stop soon, so I followed the urge lurking in my mind.I slid the slit of her dress a little, and her thigh was totally exposed, and fu**! She's not wearing panties. I growled before I gave her thigh a bite. She doesn't know how much I want to fu** her now."Oh shit! Fu**! What did you do that for?" She shouted again, and the faint scent of her arousal that I smelled earlier became stronger, so I smiled at the thought that she was as uneasy as me. At least, I am sure that the bond is in effect.We were almost at the villa, and she still did not stop struggling. Just how much energy does she have? Then I felt her hands on my back going up as though she were taking support from there, and I was right; she was now in an almost standing position, trying to get out of my hold.I loosened my grip on her and let her slide down a bit until I held her at her waist. Then, I spread her legs and held her there, sure that she wouldn't move or fall backward with her head first. Although I am not going to let that happen,"You have to put me down now!" She shouted again, her eyes going round so much that they almost wanted to pop out. She kept on struggling and felt her precious gem rubbing on my stomach, and the clothes that separated us didn't help at all.Before I got totally annoyed with her, I decided to shut her up. I kissed her and teleported us to my bedroom. I continued kissing her even if she was struggling non-stop. I saw her eyes widen when she realized we were already in a room. Her mouth was slightly open, so I took that chance and plunged my tongue inside.I had her pinned to the door as I su***d her tongue and goddess; she's delicious. I felt her kissing me back now, so I continued what I was doing. I let my hand travel from her body down to her thigh and rubbed it. I was so hard, so I let her feel that as I pressed myself against her even more, and fu**, she moaned in my mouth.I carried her to my bed and had her lie down with me on top. We were still kissing, and just a little later, my lips left hers, and I went to kiss her from her face down to her neck. She tilted her head, so I kissed and sucked her skin after I smelled her. That is where I am going to put my mark on her when she's ready.My lips moved south, and it was now on her chest. And I wanted to feel her tiny bump, so I tore off her dress. "What?" she said, but I didn't mind her and did what my tongue wanted to do. "Ohhh..." She moaned again. One of her hard buds was in my mouth, letting my tongue play as much as it wanted, while the other was being played by my fingers and doing them repeatedly and alternately."Fu**, what is this feeling?" she asked with a bit of quivering. She has no bra, no panties, and she's totally naked in my eyes. I let my other hand, which was doing nothing, start roaming around her body and reach its destination in the south."Ohhh, fu**!" she murmured as she grabbed my hair, pulling my head closer, never wanting me to stop and wanting me to do more with her hardened nips as she spread her legs when she felt my finger on her cl**. She's damn wet, and it was because of me. I inserted a finger in her core, but I felt her stiffen and realized that she was still tight. Fu**, this is new to her."Oh, I want you so much, love," I said after my mouth left her bud. She looked at me and, as if realizing something, got up, her upper body supported by her elbows on the bed."What did you just call me?" she asked, creasing her forehead."Love," I answered, and that's it. The spell between us vanished."I am not your fu****g love," she said, getting away from me. That hurts as hell, and I don't know what I am going to do to her. She's tough, and I hope that the moon goddess helps me make her mine completely.Cindy's POVJust what the hell was that? And what the hell happened to me? Why did I let him touch me? I was still glaring at whoever he was, whom I think was very powerful because even the bas***d alpha couldn't do anything about him. I saw pain in his eyes as I moved away from him, but I didn't care; I shouldn't care. Even if his scent was driving me crazy, it made me want to come back to him and let him touch me once more."Love, don't fight it; I know that you can feel it," he said."I already told you not to call me that. I am not your love, and I don't love you," I replied, which made him look even more hurt. I forgot that I was already naked, so when I saw my reflection in the mirror, I thought it was a bathroom door, and my eyes widened. I looked around again, but my dress was on his side, so I went to the closet instead, and his scent filled my nose."Fu**!" I exclaimed, but I didn't care about it anymore. I should dress up and not let this person see me like this. I took his
Alder's POV Clover staying away from me hurts. She had a point about wolves who were not waiting for their mates when they knew someone was intended for them. I am a Lycan, and the possibility of finding my own mate is close to zero. But I knew for myself that I wanted to have her.I had to leave her, or I wouldn't be able to control myself. My beast wanted to mark and mate with her, and I don't think it was a good idea to do that without her consent. I already mind-linked Lance and told him to bring her parents here so I would be able to talk to them.After a while, they came and had them sit. "As you already know, your daughter is my mate," I said, and they looked at each other before they looked at me and nodded."She didn't like the idea of having mates. She got traumatized by what had happened to her previous mate, but I wanted to assure you that I will not do what her ex-mate did to her." They sighed and smiled."Where is she, Your Highness?" Her dad asked."She's in our bedroom
Cindy's POV I can't believe what I just heard. No wonder he believed in me instantly. But is what he was saying true? How can I be sure about that?'Don't doubt him; he's our mate,' Masha said. She had not been talking a lot. That's why there were times that I thought that I was going crazy.'That ba****d of an alpha was your mate as well, and look at what happened to Clover? ''Clover is naturally kind and nice.''And I am not? ' I asked.'Are you?' She asked and retreated. Now she has left me again. Yes, I am not. So what?"Love," and there he is again. I don't know how he feels towards me, but I don't think I will ever trust a man again. I don't deny the fact that I wanted him too, but that was only physical. For a hundred and eighty-seven, wow, he is so damn sexy and hot. But I'm done with those kinds of men. They just wanted something from women, and it was either s** or money. In his case, it wasn't the latter because he was already king."You have to stop calling me that becaus
Alder's POV My mate could really fight; her human form was in shape, and her movements were swift and precise. Clover's dad must have trained her roughly. I looked at him, and I saw how proud he was of her. Cindy, on the other hand, must have and undergo intensive training as well for her to move that way and match Clover's body. When she asked me who my mate really was between her and Clover, I actually didn't know what to say. It was the first time that I encountered something like that. But what I know is that she's mine and no one else's. I wanted to hesitate to accept her at first because one of the palace elders prophesied that I would be mated to a witch, but I was now making my decision to accept her based on my instincts and feelings. Because that is what my beast has been telling me. I was in pain when she got hit, and there was a lot of time when I wanted to kill Vlad, but I managed to stop myself. It was my mate's decision to challenge him, and I didn't want to make her
Alder's POV The beast in me wanted to claim her, and I might have if I didn't leave her. Lycans had a nature of claiming and making their mates instant, literally at first sight. But with Clover, I can't.She had been rejected and killed by her mate and boyfriend. How is she able to accept me just like that? She had every reason not to trust me, and I gave her that. I went to the living room and sat on the couch while I waited for Lance. He had better settle everything now. I had to take Clover to the palace the following day."Alder," my beta said as he entered the villa. I had been waiting for more than an hour already, and I think my mate had already fallen asleep because of the calmness that I was feeling."Is everything done?" I asked as he walked to the couch and sat opposite mine."Vlad was really pissed. He couldn't accept that he was no longer the alpha and John was such a poor man. He begged for his son," he replied, shaking his head. It was such a waste that John had to hav
Cindy's POV The daughter of the Alpha Rio of the Hill Crest Pack was something. Her eyes didn't leave Alder's, and it pissed me off. He was mine, and she had no right to look at him that way. 'It's not as though you are accepting him.' Masha said, 'I don't care whether I accept him or not. One thing is sure, and that he's mine.' I replied. 'You're selfish, you know? He wanted you, but you didn't want to accept him, and you didn't want others to have him, either. What do you want to do with him? And he's a Lycan king.' 'I am a billionaire and don't need a king for a husband.' 'Mate. That's what we call him. And it was deeper than a human's husband.' Masha said, 'Whatever!' I told her, and she kept herself hidden again at the back of my mind. She's not angry at me but because I didn't want to submit to our mate. Clover had suffered too much from her mate and me, with my boyfriend, Mike. There's no way I will let another man destroy me. Not until I took my revenge on those leeches
Cindy's POV "Where do you think you're going, Clover?" Alder asked angrily. I was worried, yes. But I had to do what I needed to do. I can only stay here after it's too late. "I already told you, Alder," I replied, trying to hide the nervousness I was feeling right now. He walked towards me without leaving my eyes. His being there that instant made me wonder how he ever did that. "I thought I had already made myself clear, and I guess you are really hard-headed and left me with no choice." His voice was deep and hoarse, as though he wasn't the one who was talking to me, which made me worried. "What, are you going to give me your king's command?" I asked, even though I started to feel scared, too. I think he still looks angry, and Masha told me his deep black orbs were boring holes in my head because of his beast that was taking over his human form. "No, I am going to give you the worst," he replied, pulling me. I was shocked and didn't know what to do when he suddenly had me
WARNING!! MATURE CONTENT!! Alder's POV I was so worried after Lance told me that Clover was missing. I rushed to him, and it was good that I could still smell her scent, so it became easier for me to teleport to her. Hurt and pain were all over me when she said that she hated me. I had to harden my heart and hurt her so I would be able to bring her back with me. "Your Highness!" I remember Lance exclaimed when I told her about what had happened. We went straight to the airplane as she and the Hill Crest Pack disrupted my mood. Charles was very excited when he found out that I already found her, but after Lance told him about what had happened, he looked at me and asked, "You waited for her just to do that?" "I didn't want to, but she forced me," I answered. After I put her in my room, I left her there and went to my office where Charles was. "She's hurt and was rejected by her first mate. It was natural that she wouldn't be able to accept you just like that," he said. Afte
Alder’s POV Mirasol died afterward, and because of the feeling of relief, I hugged my mate. I had no idea why she suddenly told me to teleport her to that witch, but my instinct told me to just follow her. I know I sounded pathetic, but even my beast agreed to let her lead us. That is how much we trust our mate and how much we love her. What’s important is that everything is settled. I never thought that the past was still haunting me until Lorena came. Maybe it was also the reason why the moon goddess decided to let Cindy be reborn in Clover’s persona. I saw Lorena and Isabel kneel down out of tiredness when I looked around. Lance and James started to look after the wounded warriors. I didn't think it was safe for the others to be called out of the bunker, so I didn’t until we cleaned everything out. The warriors and fighters were all tired, but they wanted to make sure of the safety of their families and loved ones as well. The palace doctors and nurses arrived and started to br
Alder’s POV I hate Cindy’s idea. How can she protect me? It should be the other way around. Her mom, Isabel, told us about Mirasol’s mansions. I was shocked to learn that they have been operating illegal activities for a long time now. How can I be so stupid not to know that? I wanted to raid them all, but Isabel stopped me. She wanted to use that to our advantage. “We can do that after we defeat her,” she said, “How?” Lance asked, “She will be complacent once she notices that we are not raiding all her mansions and will eventually think that we had no idea about it as well,” she answered. “Mirasol will definitely get ahead of herself and will take that as her advantage and think that we have no idea about who we are dealing with or who our enemy is,” Cindy added, “You mean, not attacking any of their mansions will be a bait for them?” Charles asked, and the mother and daughter nodded. “I’m sure that her target will be you, Your Highness. He will try to get into your mind, so
Third Person’s POV “We have to start moving now before they can prepare. There’s no use in trying to get in there through the portal since they managed to make a strong barrier.” Mirasol said, looking at Dan, the Lycan rogue. “We're going in by force?” he asked, and she nodded. “Did you think about it a few times? It’s the palace, and all the strongest and fierce warriors and fighters are there,” he added. “Do you think I am such an idiot not to know about that? Of course, I thought about it, and I am not going to ask you to get ready if I knew that we were going to lose in this war,” she replied angrily. “They had no idea about us yet and were taking advantage of that,” she added. “What if you’re wrong? What if they already knew about us?” Dan asked, “If they already knew about us, they should have raided all our mansions, you idiot! Do you think Alder will let it pass once he knows that the mansion around the palace was actually a hideout of illegal activities? Especially when h
Cindy’s POV Aunt Lorena is really amazing. It has been almost a month since Mom left for the enemy’s turf, but she maintains the barrier. There were no enemy sightings inside the palace territory, which only meant that she was doing a good job. We can’t afford to let them get in using their portal. It will be a disaster since they will just spawn anytime and anywhere they want. We didn’t want that because of every palace member who couldn’t fight, rely on us, and believe in us. It seems to me that the issue with Mom’s ancestors will never end unless Alder’s family is no longer the one on the throne. I don’t know why they were so clingy when they all knew that Mirasol was not Alder’s grandfather’s fated mate. And it was hard to resist the bond. Even when I still had no idea about it, until Alder started calling me his mate and that we were fated mates, I couldn’t totally get rid of him. Always want to see him and always want him to touch me. That’s why I understand the previous king’s
Cindy's POV Mom left after she taught Aunt Lorena how to maintain the barrier. I had no idea about it, and even if my aunt was a strong witch, she never felt it at all. I guess my mother is really good, just like what my aunt said. My worry about everything has started to fade even if Mom confirms how strong our enemies are. I don’t care about that anymore. With her, my aunt, Alder, and our friends and pack members with me, I fear nothing. I believe that we will be able to defeat them since we uphold the core values and the main reason for our existence. The Moon goddess will never let her children suffer at the hands of her own child who went astray. “Lorena, are you sure about this?” Alder asked. We went to see her because mom had told her to be ready. She was worried that after she went after her aunt, they would go back and try to get into the palace territory through their portal. “Yes, I had to eat a lot. What Isabel wanted me to do would drain my energy. Thankfully, I had a
Third Person’s POV “Can you tell her to come and talk to us?” Alder asked, and Cindy nodded before she went quiet again. The others let her talk to her mother, hoping they would be able to get more information about their enemy. Lorena still had reservations but hoped that everything was real. She didn’t want to disappoint her niece when everything turned out to be a fluke. She was sure that the pain it would give her would be unbearable. She knew how much her niece missed her mother, especially when she remembered nothing about her except for the fact that her dad told her not to get mad at Isabel. They waited until Cindy looked at them. “She can’t right now. She said that, in the meantime, she had to leave to check on something. Once she is sure about that, she will be back and meet us in person.” “Why does she need to leave? What is it that she wanted to check out?” Lorena asked, “Mom said it was important, and she wanted you to look out here while she’s away. What’s there to l
Alder’s POV I had a feeling that Cindy was hiding something from me, but I could see that she was debating with herself whether she would tell me it or not. That’s why I always wanted to be with her since I knew that if I did that, she might be able to open up and tell me whatever it was that was bothering me. The next morning, after she had marked me when we were busy with the celebration, I felt that something was bothering her. It was an instant because I still felt how happy she was, and then suddenly, she became uneasy. Trying to hide my worry was extremely difficult. After we marked each other, we could easily tell how we were with each other without asking. Since I already knew that I could try to hide my emotions, unlike her. She’s new to our kind and how we really are. During my regular meetings with my beta and gamma, as well as the head of the patrol guards, I could feel her being worried and then angry. So, I had to excuse myself after she answered me through our link abo
Cindy’s POVRoaming around the palace was one thing I liked to do the most. Although there was a threat to me, especially to my mate, I don’t care about that now. He made sure that he was fine, and I believed him. Why? I trust my mother. She’s going to come to me once she finds out something that may lead to hurting me. I actually didn’t understand everything that was happening. I mean, I am Cindy Mills, a billionaire and the daughter of the wealthiest man in the country who happens to have witch's blood. Only he is not because he is a man. On the other hand, my mother was also a witch. A powerful one, I guess, since her ancestor managed to invade the previous queen’s mind and kill her.What I can’t get is the fact that I am in Clover’s body, who was a pure wolf. Only my soul was in her body, so how come I have a witchy aura? Does that aura connect to my soul? Aunt Lorena told me that being a witch runs only with the women in our family. Since I have my mother’s blood, will I be able t
Third Person’s POVMarked and mated completely. Alder felt himself stronger than he already was, and Cindy was content. She just realized that placing her mark on her mate gives them great power. Now that their bond is complete, they are confident that they will be able to attain their maximum power and potential. Everyone in the palace was rejoicing as they also felt their king and queen’s bond getting stronger. One thing about a Lycan being with its fated mate is that it gave the entire kingdom an unexplainable bind as well. Every pack will become connected to its king and queen.Because of the completion of their bond, the morning in the palace becomes special. The omegas prepared their breakfast intended for everyone. It started with Alder’s grandfather, who found his fated mate, compared it to those who didn't, and noticed that their power increased. That’s why his grandfather made his father promise to wait for his fated mate, which he did, and he grew up with that in mind. That’
