RoriHis abrupt order went to my core and without thinking I stepped into the hot water as he pulled me to stradle his hard tighs, the wound on his shoulder was clearly healing now and whilst the skin was still open the bleeding had stopped. Some water sloshed over the tub sides onto the tiled floor. "I was so worried." I breathed as he reached up and played with the edging of my sports bra. "I know, baby, but I am fine." he smirked as he pulled my sports bra up and my ample breasts spilt out. Whilst I was petite like my mother, I was also well endowed thanks to my mothers goddess like genetics. I lifted my arms as he pulled it off over my head, tossing it across the room. His mouth found my nipples as his tongue swirled around one before teasing it with his teeth. I gasped and arched my back as he moved to the other breast. "So perfect." he murmured, and his hand now made its way to my shorts. He pushed his hand down the front of my gym shorts and into my knickers, finding my perf

Ben "I do have an idea." I smirked as she leaned in with interest and intrigue on her face. "I may have promised I wouldn't mark you until you were eighteen, but I am eighteen, and you made no such promise." I told her. "You want me to mark you?" She asked, surprised as she processed the loop hole i was suggesting. "Sure, why not that way, we are bonded and will feel each other, and we will complete the bond when I get back." I told her, cupping her face as I placed a gentle kiss on her lips. "You're an Alpha, and you would wear my mark without me wearing yours?" She asked, and I nodded. "I know weird right goes against all the toxic Alpha possessive behaviours of old. But it doesn't bother me. In fact, in my head, it's very logical." I replied. "Except for one problem." she responded as I pulled her to stradle me. My body's reaction to her was instant, and I loved it. "And what is that, Princess?" I murmured, tracing my hands under her top and up the silky smooth skin on the s

Rori. My mother knocked on my bedroom door"Rise and shine, Princess," she called as she opened it. "School today, Rori. I can't swing another heart broken mental health day for you." she added as she walked over to sit next to me on the bed. I wiped sleep from my eyes and groaned as I stretched "I don't want to, Mom. I am so tired." I sighed sadly."I know, sweetheart, but as a Luna, a Princess or a Queen mated to an Alpha, you have to keep going even when they are away. It's hard the mate bond makes you want them, and whilst I am surprised without marking each other, you feel it so strongly that i can only tell you one thing, Princess. " she smiled as I sat up. "Whats that?" I asked. "Suck it up and get your ass out of bed." she added. "You need to be strong and do what needs to be done whilst Ben is away. So school, family, and friends are your priority now." she said, standing up. "Get showered and dressed your Father expects you at breakfast." she told me as she left, closing
The Princess And The Bear 13. A Dead Wolf
BenI raced toward where the pop of the gunshot had rung out, and my bike bounced down the dirt trail. As the trees became dense, I parked the bike and shook off my leather jacket. I ran into the thick trees and foliage. "Ben?" My dad's voice linked in my head. "Hunters to the west of the high school, a gunshot just went off. I am nearly on site, " I responded to the link. "Ben, be careful. The royal wolves are also patrolling in that area." he added. "Got it." I replied as I pushed Kane forward, and he sniffed the air. We could smell blood, and I followed my nose to a thick bushy area parting the bush. I saw an injured wolf blood gushed from its chest area. In the distance, I could smell and hear the footfall of humans as they drew near, clearly searching the undergrowth. I grabbed the large wolf and took off back the way I came as I linked my father and told him to have someone intercept me I wanted to stay and fight the hunters but it was clear the wolf was badly injured. This

Rori. I looked myself over in the mirror in my bedroom. I really needed this night out dancing with the girls I just wanted to blow off some steam missing Ben was harder then I ever imagined it to be and it may have been the major down side to marking Ben. I was definitely beginning to feel my wolf Tara a lot more since I marked Ben and the connection to Kane had become stronger. I ran my hands over my pink body con minidress that I'm sure would have Ben growling at any male nearby. My hair was curled and loose around my face, and I opted for make-up with a bright pink lip stick. Sage looked just as cute in a bright yellow dress , Kayda had on a purple sparkling crop top and a skin-tight black jeans. She looked way older than her years. I had applied a light purple smoky eye, and she looked amazing with her shiny chesnut brown hair styled to fall in a side pony tail over left shoulder. I threw back a second shot of tequila as Sage hummed over if she should allow Kayda another shot.

Ben. My mother's revelation rang in my ears as I pushed my bike to go faster. Max was on my tail as I raced towards the Palace. Rori, my mate, was in heat, and Kane's need and fury to get to her was unbearable. The only thing stopping him from shifting was his realisation that my bike was faster than he could ever run. Max had worked out pretty quickly that me allowing Rori mark me, but her not being mated to complete the bond had encouraged nature to force the matter, and my mate was now in heat. My mother had spoken to Queen Charlie, and they were using herbs and ice to keep her heat symptoms at bay, but only her mates touch would elevate it completely. I didn't want our first time having sex to be like this. She wolves in heat weren't really themselves drunk on hormones they tended to act with only one goal in mind and often forgot what had happened as their wolves usually took over. "Slow down, Ben." Max's voice came over mind link. He also liked to ride a motorbike and was right

RoriI was exhausted, but at least the burning was now a distant memory. I pulled on my white jean shorts and a pink t-shirt before brushing my hair up into a messy bun. Feeling hungry, I wandered out of my room for food and soon came face to face with my mother and Daphne, having located them in Casey's Beta apartment. "Victoria, not here?" I asked my mother, noting the absence of my little sister, with a little disappointment as her innocence would have meant any awkward heat or mating conversations would have been avoided. "She is with Miss Potter, so I was thinking we could talk." she said as I picked at an invisible hang nail. "Sure, but I am starving." I replied, hoping to prolong the delay the conversation another way. "Tacos are here." Casey called as she stepped off the lift and beamed as I gave a defeated sigh. However, I was so hungry that I was willing to bear the inevitable talk for tacos. I happily munched on the Tacos as the women served themselves and sat down. My
The Princess And The Bear 17. The Real Sir Anthony.
BenWith all that had been on my mind with Rori, then the hunters, her heat, and relocation discussions, it was easy to forget about Sir Anthony sitting in the Palace cells. The council had done its investigation, and under their insights, Anthony had admitted what he had tried to do to the Crowned Princess. A forced mating was unforgivable in our world, one of the worst crimes and sadly more commonly inflicted on vulnerable women than the community cared to admit. I knew things with him were in motion when King Emmett summoned me to his office. "Come in, Ben." he called once I knocked, and I entered. Adam sat in the office with Danny. All three looked comfortable, yet a serious tension hung in the air. Paper littered the Kings desk, and his window was thrown open, shining the morning light on King Emmetts' deep maghony furniture. The room had pale blue walls and was decorated with the dark wood shelves that held books. A leather sofa stood to the side of the room, and above it was f

Rori.(One Year Later) I watched as Teddy wobbled towards my laughing parents as they bent down to greet him. His chubby little hands out stretched to be picked up. He had only begun walking a few days prior right in time for his first birthday. My father was holding my now nearly one and half year old brother David, who was just as eager to see his little cousin. He reached for me as I scooped David up, and Ben and I note fussed over him as my parents did the same over their first grandchild. Eoin and Amira were next through the door with Amira carrying a large blue paper wrapped gift with a large silver bow. I greeted and embraced them warmly. Ash, my younger brother, arrived with my sister Victoria perched on his shoulders along with his best friend Kayda. James barreled in moments later with some random girlfriend he was passing the current week with. My aunt Daphne, Uncle Max, came next with their kids along with Danny and Dottie and their youngest Scarlet in Danny's arms. Once A

Ben"Isn't it perfect?" my mate cooed as she showed me the finishing touches on our cubs nursery. The pack was alive and buzzing with the news. We had spent the last few months getting our own house in Big Paw Pack ready, and this was the last room my mate had completed. She had taken extra care in picking every item that went into this room. She had pondered over every detail with amazement and happiness. "It's amazing." I agreed, but I was looking at her and not the room before me. I know it's a cliche, but my mate glowed, her red hair shone as it fell loose over her shoulders. She was wearing a pair of soft leggings and a soft off the shoulder beige jumper. Her rounded bump was now in full bloom, and I now fully understood the words I had heard her very own father say that he himself never loved his mate more than when she was carrying his pups. It all made sense to me now and despite the initial shock at our news, my now long since healed black eye from her twin brother when he fo

Rori. Since it was confirmed I was pregnant a few mere hours ago, I now felt it was so obvious. I was suddenly always starving it had to be psychological, right? I grumbled to myself. I was looking in my parents' fridge as I dug around, moving all her cheese. It would have been so simple if I shared my mother's pregnancy obsession with cheese, but sadly, I did not. I looked up with an excited expression when I scented Sage enter. "Sage." I called as I launched myself into her open arms. She giggled under my weight as she hugged me back. "Doughnuts?" She asked as I gasped. "Yes, thank god you're a life saver." I sighed as I grabbed some mugs and poured the freshly brewed coffee. "So what's been going on with you?" I asked through a mouthful of sugar glazed doughnuts icing that was now smeared across my lips. "A lot." Sage sighed. I paused my chewing. "Oh?" I said, encouraging her. "There's a guy." she sighed. "Oh, a guy?" I concealed my smile. "Anyone I know?" I asked. "No, h

BenSo there it was my whole life changed in the space of an afternoon. I had a secret feeling my mate wanted this more than I realised, and now two lines on a white stick had confirmed what we suspected. I was destined to be a young everything , I was a young shifter shifting at three years old in response to the presence of my mate and the issues in the royal pack at the time, I was a young mate, a young warrior and now it would seem I was to be a young father. I was really happy if all be it a little nervous. I hadn't even worked out how the bear pack would protect Rori, never mind a pregnant Rori. I also wondered when I should tell Aiden so he was aware of the added complications, but Rori had sworn me to silence while we were skinny dipping in our lake spot last night. She wanted it to be just our secret for now, but I did remind her wolves would smell it, and high-ranking wolves had a very good sense of smell. She hoped it would just come across as my scent, so I didn't disagree.
The Princess And The Bear 41. Two Lines
Rori. I smelled like him but more like him. What was he on about. I was slightly annoyed when he stopped kissing me and started sniffing me like he was on a mission. When he pressed his nose to the soft skin above my belly button, he looked up at me his eyes wide, and I stared back awkwardly. "No." I said aloud in my head, but conveniently, my wolf Tara was silent. I looked into Ben's face and I knew what he was thinking as I did the math on my last period and well it didn't work out in a number that allowed me to reasure him convincingly, with everything that had gone on in the past month and after my heat I hadn't kept track. He pressed his nose again to my stomach and breathed in my scent. "Well?" I asked him as he pulled away slightly. "Well, what?" he asked as I noticed his face was a little pale. "Well, we go get you your ice cream, wait and see at an appointment with Dr Teller, or we go to the drug store and get a test?" he responded. I pondered his options. "Drug store." I
The Princess And The Bear 40. The Kings Decision
Ben. The Vampire's report supported what my mate had suspected, and I was sure now she was right. Anthony had agreed to allow Madame Lux place him under a spell to replay his keys memories in an attempt to prove he thought he was acting on the moon Goddesses behalf and not his own plight for a higher title. I personally never liked the guy, but then he was a threat to my mate, so instinctively, we were never going to be best friends. The guys Arthur,Eoin, James, and Ash as Alpha's and Beta blood never felt the same as me. Now Rori was marked by me I didn't feel as strong in some ways but then I was reminded of him forcing himself on her and this was why I asked King Emmett and Beta Adam to leave me out of the deliberations regarding Anthony. They had agreed, and I was happy to leave it in the hands of her father. I was now sitting with my future Gamma Aiden as we went over Rori's new detail. I wanted to ask the King to remove his men from her service, but I needed to make sure she wa

Rori. Ben didn't give me shit about my quest to save Anthony he just supported me. After the council and my request for an in-depth look at exactly what Anthony was guilty of, he hadn't judged me. In fact, he had stated to the council when asked that he stood by me. What more could a girl want in a mate I laughed as Tara agreed. Big, tall, handsome body of Adonis and willing to stand by me. He had spent all evening making me forget, so by the time I was hungry enough to head to the kitchen where my parents sat, I felt like jelly. The bliss was running through my veins. "I brought you two up a plate from the pack hall." my mom called as I unwrapped the foil to peek inside. "Steak and baked potatoes." I told Ben as he nodded, and I loaded it into the oven to warm up. "I hear you want Anthony to be re investigated." My mom called from the seating area where she was cuddled up with my dad. I smiled for all the world they looked like two teenagers, my dad's hand resting on the slightly

BenI watched Rori bite her lip as she considered my question. What could she possibly be angling at here. "Rori?" I prompted, raising my eyebrow. "I have a strong feeling here, Ben, that Anthony isn't to blame." she sighed. I couldn't believe this when it came to Anthony she always had a soft spot for this overconfident idiot Alpha. He always irked me, and I was willing to bet that was the possessive nature in me, but to me, Anthony had no redeeming positives. "Rori, he led an attack on my pack." I said. "Our pack," I added, emphasising the our. She shook her head. "That's just it, Ben. I don't believe he led anything. Do we have solid proof that Anthony hurt anyone?" She said as my mouth fell open. "Rori, he tried to force himself on you to mark you forcefully." I reminded her, trying hard to keep the anger from my tone. "Yes, he did on his mother's orders, and under the belief he had held his whole life that he was doing what the moon goddess wanted." she replied. "That doesn

RoriYup, I was being childish. I knew this, but something about being back under my parents' roof always made me rivert back to a childish, moody teenager. I was well aware of this when I slammed my bedroom and was even more aware of it when I dramatically tossed myself face down on my bed, but I had committed now to the dramatic tantrum. I lay there alone whilst Tara laughed in my head about how weird human emotions were. I mean since my awakening as a mate I now could possibly guess exactly how my parents found themselves in this situation not that I didn't know the dynamics before its just now more clear and yuck a shudder ran through me. "I think the key here is not to put yourself and Ben in your parents' shoes." Tara chuckled in my head. "Oh goddess, shut up." I replied, burying my face in the pillows. After a while, I heard a gentle knock on my door, and my mother entered, holding a buttercream cake and two forks. She sat on the bed as I sat up she held out one of the forks
