This mating thing feels right.Now I understand Ivor and Ralph's urgent affection for their fated mate. Once you have her in your arms, you don't want to let her go. All those uncontrolled feelings running through you; adoration, lust and the desire to protect her from all the evil in the world. But then it struck me how remarkable it is that Ivor and I both found our mate within a day. For decades we talked about this, like Ralph we had a series of one-night stands. Not that we were really looking forward to their arrival, but we knew the day would come. I had promised to be open and honest with my fated. I would allow her to choose whether to stay with me of her own will. But I hadn't counted on a human mate. That brings up other issues I have to consider. I'll have to take it slow, there are a few issues I noticed with her that need to be straightened out before I introduce her into my world. For this moment, I am going to enjoy this wonderful feeling
Actually, I am shocked by my mate's willingness to cooperate with what I clearly intend to do with her. Having sex, a lot of it. This is not really what a virgin would do; I expected her to balk a bit and for me to have to use all my charms to win her over.But she doesn't resist for a moment, which makes me wonder if she does this more often, inviting men into her home for a solid night of sex. Or is there something else going on?! Well, I guess I'll never know. At her direction, I park in the spot assigned to her apartment. I open the door for her and jump out of the car myself. We rush toward the elevator and when the doors close, I take her in my arms. Eagerly she raises her head to me and offers me her lips. Before I accept her offer, I bury my face in the crook of her neck and take several deep breaths. Nope, no scent of even a single man. I even believe she's still a virgin. But her actions prove otherwise. What is going on here? Is she sacrificing
I hold still, stroking her back and whispering reassuringly nothings in her ear.When I claim her lips again, I feel her slowly relax. "Go when you are ready, my love. I will wait for you," I encourage her softly. With her face still in a pained grimace, she nods. Quietly I wait for her to get used to the feeling of me inside her, nibbling her earlobe, sipping at the skin of her neck. One hand moves to her breast again and I tease her until she goes crazy with lust.Her walls start milking my cock and I barely hold on. Then she begins moving slowly and soon has built up a reasonable pace. Sweat beads on my forehead from my willpower to hold back. But that is short-lived. When I notice her movements becoming urgent, I pick it up from there and drive us on. Each time I feel my orgasm approaching, I pause and kiss her deeply until my urge subsides a bit and I'm able to move inside her again, deep and confident. But when she gasps in my ear as she clings to me, I can't continue this act.
Rain's POV This is the third shopping mall we hit.Alidya and Magda seem tireless, but I'm barely able to shift afoot. We shopped on and on, the security guards Ivor left with us are filling the car with our purchases. We have more than enough, but my mother-in-law doesn't know when to stop. "My Queen, I'm dead tired. Can't we go back and buy the rest of the items on the list another day?" I beseech Ralph's mother. She looks up and her eyes soften. She reaches out her hand and caresses my face. "Of course, Saray. Let's eat something at the restaurant first so you'll regain your strength for the trip back," she indicates. I nod; food sounds good to my ears. The last few days I just can't get enough in, the twins seem to be constantly hungry. Leaning on Magda, I reach the restaurant. One of the guards escorts us to a VIP room where we can sit undisturbed. There is always a chance we bump into werewolves in the area and we really want to avoid being swarmed by all kinds o
I cry my eyes out in my bedroom.I will never forgive Eric for this. Why didn't he just wait until I finished speaking to the man, what was the rush for? Or was the man the danger he was talking about? My brain refuses to believe that. Dan man stared at me lovingly, I sensed that he couldn't wait to take me in his arms. I must have meant a lot to him in my earlier life, the passion in his eyes proved that. Is he perhaps the reason why I have no sexual feelings for Ralph? Was he my lover or so? Ralph feels like my best friend but not a lover. A soft knock on the room door pulls me out of my musings.Magda's scent approaches me. "Saray. Come, eat something. The babies need it," she urges softly. I smile, earlier she called my babies, pups just like everyone else. Without thinking, she adopted this, without asking questions. My friend unknowingly comes to embrace our werewolf culture. I get up from the bed and unlock the door. Cautiously she steps inside, he
The atmosphere in the dining hall is excellent. But the incident in the mall sticks with me. I will have to find an appropriate time and go back to the mall again in hopes of learning from the waitress exactly who that gorgeous man was. I already know his name is Jasper, but I need to know where to find him. Eric watches aloofly; he seems to have forgotten about the incident of an hour ago. Everyone laughs and jokes and I join in too. But then the dining room door opens and no one but my mate steps in. "Ralph!" I exclaim and jump off my chair to run toward him. He opens his arms wide and I throw myself against his chest. Relieved, I lay my head against his body as he presses me against him. "My Queen. How did the shopping go?" he asks, smiling. "I saw a teeming car parked outside." I look up at his happily beaming face and kiss him briefly on the lips. It feels like I've landed in a safe haven. "We're almost done. The King-Mother is really on a roll and Magda is stepp
Secretary Eric's POV againOops!!! That was in the nick of time.Saray still recognizes that Alpha as her fated mate despite her amnesia. I arrived just in time and saw the two looking at each other like teenagers in love. Never before have I seen that intense look in the woman's eyes. She loves the Alpha, that's for sure; conversely, he adores her. His eyes exposed that all, he was like a drunken man recognizing a bottle of fine wine after a long time. Never have I seen that look in Saray's eyes when she's with Ralph. In time I was able to bring her along and also led the Alpha astray by calling her Saray. That name confusion might increase his doubts that she is his mate. On top of that, the Coast Guard has already convinced him that Rain has died at sea.My cousin must be careful now, if the two meet again, he will be on the loser's end. After the incident, I called him and reported what had happened. Totally panicked, he immediately jumped on the Royal Jet towards Human Town to ge
It cannot be otherwise, it must be me that the elders opposite us are targeting!But how did they find out about my misses in such a short time? I am sure of Ivor and Esis, those men are highly trustworthy. Or have they been sloppy and left a witness? Nope, not a chance. Ivor is known for his precision work. I glance again at the men in front of us and get the feeling they are playing us off.They take a gamble, think they can get us off balance and we then spill all our sins. That is not going to happen. 'They are playing us out. Be premeditated!' I mind link my partners in crime. They too, are weighing the situation. We are three men here with a troubled conscience, but we are really too old to be playing into the Sages' hands. We must see where their objection lies. Behaving like the Angels of Light is the best strategy here. As the person with the heaviest conscience, I will answer last. "Elder, with all due respect. If you have anything against any o
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,
