You Are The Queen After a drive of about an hour into the night, we arrive at a huge yacht, brightly lighted.There is a logo on the hull and several men in uniform and dark glasses are waiting. In the distance, I can hear engines, more speedboats are approaching. "Ralph, what is this? Who are all these people?" I ask somewhat anxiously. It looks like a war is going on at sea. Ralph nudges me closer to him, and believe me, with the few clothes on my body, his warmth comes in very handy. It seems he and Esis don't feel the icy chill of the wind. "Those are the security guards, my love," he answers. He takes me by the shoulders and looks at me. "There is something else I must tell you, Rain. I am a Lycan and live in the Kingdom. In the palace". He scours my face for a response. Sensing that his words do not impress me, he continues. "I am the King of the Royal Werewolf Kingdom. And you will be the Queen". My eyes go big. "The Queen? Ooohh God! You mean the
In the Storm Forest pack "Alpha, we've lost track of her again. She was last seen in the office. Our informant says she resigned and disappeared out of a sudden". Behind me, I hear my Beta Jace reporting. He leads the team in Human Town where I'd spent two unforgettable days with Rain. Rain, my mate! The Moon Goddess gave me her, but my family and the pack were impatient.They expelled her, made her act out of desperation. We are madly in love with each other, she confirmed that over and over again during our time together. No, she screamed it every time we had mad sex, when I teased her repeatedly with my body in the familiar irresistible way. My mate, I know all about her, how to please her, to get her to confess her love to me till her voice was gone. Like Rain, there is no woman, I want no one but her. It's Rain or I stay single forever, there are no other options for me. I turn around on my desk chair and face Jace.Fear is plastered
To blow off some steam, I decide to attend today's pack training.It has been a long since I last challenged my warriors, it is time for me to demonstrate my strength and authority in the pack again. Quickly I go to my apartment and dress in sportswear. As I walk onto the training ground, everyone stops what they are doing. Training today is coordinated by the former Beta Kenston, Rain's father. I walk up to the man and extend a hand to him. "Father, give me your fiercest group. I'm ready for a solid fight. Your top three, please," I ask him after a handshake. He shakes his head; Kenston has often told me just to call him by his name. As the Alpha, I am superior to him and calling him Father suggests he has some authority in the pack. But I insist on giving my father-in-law the respect he deserves; if he had not blessed this earth with such a wonderful daughter, I would not have such an outstanding mate today. Mating to Rain is the best thing that has eve
I stand in the shower with my face up to not only make the water washes my face clean but massages it as well. This fight with Kenrick and his mate has not only eased my mind but also calmed my senses. My mate's revenge is such a good feeling, I really should have intervened earlier. This couple stayed in my pack for too long, the punishment for insulting a Luna and then consistently at it, is a lifetime banishment. The fact that Kenrick held a high rank should have made him responsible enough to keep his mate in line and urge her to respect the Luna. So I need not feel guilty at all about the way I dismembered them before ripping their heads off. All this took place in front of the warriors, a lesson for those who think they should pull the same stunt as the dead Gamma. The blood of the two washes from my body to the shower floor.Bitterly I watch as it flows into the drainage like dirty bath water, worthless and obsolete. What the Gamma r
In shock, I stare at the supervisor.The second person to bring me the news of Rain's death. My heart threatens to stop beating, my brain shuts down. I reach out to Jax for strength but he still ignores me. This is too much. Beside me, I hear a muffled cry of pain. Kenston.If it feels this terrible for a mate to hear that your other half is gone, then I can imagine the pain a father must endure knowing his child died. Kenston passes out, Jace is just barely able to catch him. I push my pain away and turn to the former Beta. "Kenston, get yourself together. This is not the time to show weakness. We need to find Rain," I urge. I hold him by the throat and release some of my Alpha energy for his wolf. A few seconds later, his eyes slowly open. "We have to find her. She can't be dead, Kenston," I emphasize."Jace, rent a speedboat and check the coordinates where the ship capsized with the Coast Guard. We'll leave right away," I instruct my Bet
In The Royal Yacht She is human! My mate is human! And she is breathtaking.For years I waited for her, thinking she was no longer coming, had become the chosen mate of another Alpha. And now it turns out she is human. Of course, that makes no difference to me as long as she is willing to be with me and accept me for who I am. That is all I desire, and the rest I will fix myself. For years I have worked to expand my empire.I have always kept the business of my pack and my personal one separate. The pack's income is in shares in large companies that yield more than the pack can consume in a hundred years. My private income I earn by investing my personal capital in the hospitality industry. That's where my passion lies. I gave my all to it. All my time and money I invested in my businesses to ease the wait for my mate. And yes, I have had occasional short-lived relationships like any healthy man. And as an Alpha, my desires are stronger than the average werewolf, I coul
Still Alpha Esis Rain steps into the sitting room on Ralph's arm. Her beauty is once again striking; this woman is clearly Queen material. Ralph has made a great choice in her, although I worry about this relationship. My friend is a Lycan and the Moon Goddess sporadically awards Lycans a fated mate. But it is very possible that Ralph may have a mate somewhere who could suddenly appear on the scene. And then I fear the worst will happen, the Kingdom will have to decide in this triangle relationship, for they only accept one Queen. Although Lycans are very animalistic, their solution is often not very humane. Two centuries ago, such a fact had already occurred. One of Ralph's ancestors was smitten with a breathtaking she-wolf, took her as his chosen mate and installed her as the Queen. When the destined mate signed up, total chaos ensued in the Kingdom. The royals had beheaded the Queen in broad daylight, just some men had shifted into their fierce Lycan and ripped off her head.
The efficiency with which Rain handles everything is outstanding.After I called my own yacht to join the Royal one, she took the phone from me. Of course, I cannot accommodate my in-laws of four in the Royal yacht, can't I?! I also want to impress them, convince my father-in-law that I'm capable of taking care of his daughter. Rain called and spoke to Esau and Perpetua on speakerphone so we could all listen to the arrangements she agreed with them. They had just come home from the beach where they had a campfire. The Moon Goddess alone knows how this woman was able to gain people's trust in such a short time. The parents had little resistance to packing right away. They just wanted the assurance that Rain would be with them when they arrived at Human Town. Obviously, the family does not spend much time outside the island. So now it's waiting for my yacht to show up so we can pick up my mate.Out of sheer joy, I pulled out one of Ralph's best wines and made a toast to my
Twelve years onTwo devastatingly handsome Princes walk the red carpet and accept congratulations on their eighteenth anniversary. Jasper and Rain's sons have grown into confident men. They completed their studies in Human Town under the strict supervision of Aunt Ruth and Uncle John, while godmother Magda often brought them some surprise visits. They have returned to the Kingdom to start their training to rule the Kingdom. But taking over the throne will take several more years. Walking behind them are their three sisters, aged sixteen. Triplets.Breathtakingly beautiful girls, many Lycans dream of being their fated mate when they reach adulthood in two years. They have been raised protectively, Jasper and the Sages seeing to it that they carry off their titles as Princesses with dignity. Except for the youngest, Adlin. The spoiled Princess gets up to all sorts of mischief and often brings her parents to the brink of despair. She is a party animal; her h
Six Years LaterOnce again there is a grand celebration in the Kingdom. The biggest after the Princes' birthday bash.Elena, the Queen's special friend, turns eighteen today and will start her duties in the Palace. But far more important is her mating with Ivor, the Chief Warrior. The couple has long waited for this day after the Moon Goddess made them mates at Elena's twelfth. Ivor has guided her into adulthood and supported her where he could during her studies in Human Town. But years ago, it was announced that the girl who had now grown into a gorgeous woman would return as the Queen's Secretary. Last night she arrived on the Royal Jet, but no one had seen or spoken to her since then, not even Ivor. But the Chief Warrior was not going to be put out of business.He organized their acceptance and mating ceremony on her anniversary. A lavish ball awaits his mate. In Human Town, he bought her an amazing diamond engagement ring. He is used to showering her
The Kingdom has survived the betrayal of King Ralph and moved on.Jasper is now the sole King of the Royal Kingdom of Werewolves and is respected by all werewolf packs worldwide. He honors his Queen and the species are not outspoken about his devotion to his family. The twins grow up as happy pups adored by all. Ralph's name is no longer mentioned throughout the Kingdom. The Name Giving Ceremony has arrived.All the grandparents - the former King and Queen, Clea and Ana - have done all the preparation. The names are known to only a closed group of high rankings and have yet to be announced to the larger public. The twins are now six weeks old, but Rain still marvels every day at their steady growth. And now, assisted by Jasper, she dresses the boys, who seem to know that they are in the spotlight today. They babble away and are quite active. And then, it's time for the official part of the day.The Kingdom is one big party scene, the Lycans
Selene's eyes pass the Lycans one by one.The Sages bow respectfully to her while Eric and Ralph turn red, their heads also down, albeit for a different reason. Jasper and Rain have their hands together honorably, while Jace and Cleo follow suit. "You guys wonder why I summoned you to face me," she begins sarcastically. No one answers for fear of getting her wrath on them. "We'll start with Eric," she states and turns to the man. "What is your confession, Secretary? I've watched your missteps for too long". Eric has no choice but to tell his sins, the reason he had Natalie killed, his rejection of his fated and accepting a second chance, and the selfish reason he marked Rachel. A sigh of disbelief passes through those present. Selene now turns to Ralph."Ralph, I gave you the Kingdom despite you not being the rightful heir," she starts. "Also, I gifted you Rain, you were infatuated with her and confident in making her your Queen. Even though I had already
At The OracleFour men stand in front of the Moon Goddess Oracle with their eyes firmly closed.They have been standing there meditating for about an hour. A crucial moment in the Kingdom has arrived, and they ask Selene for guidance. The Oracle has told them to wait until the Moon Goddess has heard several parties. The ancient Lycans are also consulted; not long after, she will relay her mission to the Sages. Yes, Elder Antony of Storm Forest has been added to the Sages of the Kingdom.He carries the history of the new inhabitants to the Kingdom. History will determine the present but no one in the room dares to make a prediction. It is waiting for Selene's word. All four know that the circumstances in the Palace are explosive. The King having committed adultery with a warrior and Eric's rejection of his second chance mate and sudden mating with the Queen's sister have heated up tempers considerably. In addition, intelligence reported to the Sages that E
King Ralph's POV I keep a low profile.I still can't believe this happened to me. Never did I think of cheating on Saray, there was no woman attractive enough in my eyes to share the bed with. Saray is everything to me, for months I have waited for the moment of our physical love. Even now I get all kinds of visions of how that will all come about, the way I'll drive her crazy between under me. We were supposed to make arrangements the day after her coronation and I knew that night she would be mine. But she went into labor and that Jasper treated me like nothing. He made sure everyone around was aware that the pups were his, was unwilling to share the moment of their birth with me and just forced me into the background of it all. I stood in the maternity room against the wall as if I didn't belong there. No one involved me in the birth of the Crown Princes. The pain went deep, the Moon Goddess indicated to everyone that I would never have
Frustrated, I tap my nails on the tabletop.I'm just wasting my time here. The Sages are not taking us seriously, my Lycan is on edge. Over the last few weeks, I have been able to sense his strength, but I won't know how great it is until I rip the heads of the three men in front of me. They do not understand that I am capable of anything to protect my family. This whole Kingdom can be stolen from me, I'll just take Rain and my boys back to our pack. It is not that we are homeless or dependent on these weighty titles. Elder Nicolas hears us with an expressionless face.The others also show little of their thinking. I need to know their stance to decide my next move. I want to prevent Rain from knowing about Ralph's infidelity and rejecting him against the Moon Goddess' decision. And a rejection in the Royal family will have an unparalleled impact on the werewolf packs and on Ralph himself, especially if the reason becomes known to all. In the worst-cas
King Jasper's POVRain is still asleep after our night full of passion. I smile as I look at her, my mate, my heart.She's insecure about her figure that just can't get rid of that baby fat. But she doesn't know how sexy she looks now with her full hips. I hope from tonight she won't worry about that. My lips graced her and gave her everything she craved. I showed her how she could excite me with the slightest touch. She is now the mother of my pups and that makes her that much more special in my life. The boys are amazing, the youngest has his mother's raven black hair, while the oldest oddly has inherited my brown-blonde locks. But the difference stops there, as far as their facial features are concerned, they are identical. My spitting image. Slowly I detach myself from Rain's embrace.I grab my sweater from the floor and put it against her face so my scent stays around her. Standing next to the bed, I put my jeans back on and go into the walk-in clos
Queen Rain's POV We sit in the Palace garden with our pups, enjoying the nice weather. The boys are growing steadily, it always amazes me when I consider that they are only two weeks old. But they act like two-month-old babies, already smiling broadly and playing with the music boxes hanging above their crib. And they are definitely bigger than the children their age I see on the Internet. At first, I thought it was because of their feeding and wanted only to breastfeed them, no extras. But Jasper explained to me that Lycan pups have faster development than humans or normal werewolves. Anyway, I am proud of my sons, they are healthy and growing like cabbage. Jasper sits next to me with the eldest in his arms. The young man adores his father, sensing Jasper close by is enough for him to stretch his arms out and babble a lot. Fortunately, Jasper makes lots of time to be with them. And then there is the rest of the family, who spoil both boys beyond measure. With so many grandparents,
