Ralph and I walk past the rings in the display case.Diamond is actually the engagement ring of general choice, but I see my friend looking at the Rubies. For Magda, I bought a nice one that she picked out herself. But I think Ralph wants his marriage proposal to be unexpected and top-of-the-line. In the end, he chooses a breathtaking one that I'm sure will fit Rain perfectly but is unusual for an engagement ring. But who am I to stop him, besides it is the occasion that gives the gift value. If Rain agrees to become his wife, I suspect much of his uncertainty will disappear. He probably just doubts her fidelity and level of commitment. Full of pride, he walks to the car with his ring in his possession.He looks relieved. I really hope it works out between the two, although I have to admit they are an odd couple. Rain doesn't really seem to be much into Ralph, she is impressed by him but not really in love. Never have I seen her stare adoringly at her man
Magda takes the decision out of my hands.She rips the lingerie off her breast and presses it into my mouth. My lips go their own way and close over the nipple, licking and sucking on it. A cry of pleasure hushes in my hair and her nails claw into my shoulder. The scent of her arousal hangs around and I know I must withdraw now before it is too late. "Magda," I moan, pained. "We must wait. Tomorrow night I'll give you everything you want. Just a few more hours, baby". But instead of letting go of me, she pushes the breast back into my mouth and clamps my head. "No, Esis, I want you now. I don't want to wait any longer. Take me now. I am your wife, you said that yourself".And I'm done.I lift her up and hold her body tight against me. With her in my arms, I turn around and walk to my bedroom. I kick the door shut behind me, still in the middle of a heated kiss.When I lay her on the bed I see she is drunk with desire. This woman is going
Again Rain's POVAll's well that ends well.Magda and Esis' wedding was the bonb. The couple is clearly madly in love with each other. They are so connected, the Moon Goddess has done a masterful job with their pairing. They have become my best friends in the short time I have known them. I didn't recognize the same Magda from our first meeting, she was so hostile to me back then. All werewolves in the room knew that the newlywed took an advance on their wedding night the day before. We could all sense it because that's one of our main instinct. That was actually inevitable, Esis is a hot-blooded Alpha, in fact, I expected him to claim his mate much earlier. But his respect for her father held him back for long, but by the looks of it, last night he had reached his limits or Magda was successful in seducing her mate. When I went to wake Magda up this morning, she was still in a haze from the sex she had the night before and thought she was still lying next to Esis. I t
Confused, I stare at Ralph.Hadn't he mentioned we never had sex in the past? Then how can I be pregnant now? Is my mate even disclosing everything that happened between us before I suffered from amnesia? "Ralph, how can I turn out to be pregnant if we never had sex?" I ask him. "You said I wanted to wait. A baby only comes through sex. Are you being truthful to me?" He squeezes my hands tighter and bats his eyes.When he looks up again, I see regret in his gaze. "There was one night, about a week before we left. We were in the sitting room of my penthouse and we got heated. We had sex on the couch, it was heavenly and good". A soft glow covers his face. "I should have taken your feelings into account, but I couldn't help myself. After that one time, we agreed to wait and not seduce each other," he says. I let his words sink in. Yes, when two adults in love are together for a long time, they may give in to their desires. That's what Esis and Magda did; it
Silently, each absorbed in his own thoughts, we drive to Esis and Magda's new home.When we arrived, I couldn't believe my eyes. A luxurious villa stands before me, all lit up amazingly. "Waw, Esis has really done a magnificent job here," I let out admiringly. Ralph agrees with me. "Yes, he hired the best architect and adjusted the floor plan to his preferences. The final result is great," he agrees. Hand in hand, we walk to the tall wide front door.But before Ralph can press the doorbell, the door swings open and Esis and Magda stand before us, smiling broadly. Magda rushes to me and hugs me tightly. "Saray, what have you done? Did you get pregnant before me anyway while I'm already married?" she states the obvious. I laugh cheerfully. "I didn't even know I had had sex," I whisper in her ear. We laugh our hearts out, the two men staring at us sheepishly. Then Ralph and Magda lead me inside the house where the whole family is waiting. "Sur
We stay with Esis and Magda for about another hour; the atmosphere is much better now.I feel Esis's anxious glances at me a few times, but I ignore him. He won't be able to help me dig into my past, from his stories, I understand that he hasn't known me very long before the accident. Ralph introduced me to him as his fiancé so he doesn't know Rain. When we finally say goodbye, I assure everyone that we will get back together when the baby is born. Or maybe even sooner, when there is any good news from the newlywed side. Magda blushed like a beet at my words; if it is up to Esis, that announcement will come soon than later. He clearly adores Magda, but has not yet revealed to her his true nature. I foresee problems now that he is putting off every time. He is probably afraid of his mate's reaction but will have to bite the bullet. As the Alpha of a pack, he can only live in Human Town for a short time. Eventually, he'll have to go back to Midnight Moon.
And after that, everything goes like clockwork.We arrive at a port and as we walk out, about twenty decently dressed guards approach us. We are led to an expensive car and then the drive continues along the amazingly dense countryside. There is a lot of forest along the road that we travel at high speed, my enthusiasm is growing at the sight of all that greenery. I think it is the wolf in me, we like woods, lots of it, actually. Just too bad that I didn't shift yet, I'm sure this forest would be fantastic for a run of my life. Although I should have postponed that, pregnant women are strictly forbidden to shift. It could endanger the child. After a drive of about half an hour, we ride between two impressive pillars.The Kingdom. My heart pounds like crazy at the thought of meeting Ralph's family. But I have little time to think about that. The car enters a tall iron gate and stops in front of an imposing building. There is a group of people waiting for u
"Saray, have you had anything in for the day?" she asks softly.I shake my head in denial. "No, after the hospital, we went straight to the yacht. I have no desire for food at all," I explain, wearily hanging over the sink. This is not a healthy situation, I know I need to see the doctor soon for medication to whet my appetite and neutralize this nausea. My body needs vitamins to keep my pup healthy. "Here, drink some warm water with the dissolved sugar and then the yogurt. It will help keep your stomach in check". I take the glass from her and drink it in one gulp. Indeed, several minutes later, I feel a lot more comfortable. I sigh in relief. Then I take the yogurt and sit down on a stool. "We'll have the doctor come in tomorrow to examine you. Although I am not in favor of all those tablets and chemical stuff, you have to decide for yourself whether to use them. This warm water with sugar has helped me and many other she-wolves around here," she notes.
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,
