Here is an especially long chapter for you guys! You'll notice Rayan bounces between using Maeva & Genevieve, that's purposely. Hope you enjoy it!! Leave a gem if your enjoying the book!
Genevieve POV The days flew by as I trained with the fae warriors in the morning & Crysanthi in the afternoons. We spent most evenings after dinner drinking fae wine & giggling like school girls. I learned quite a bit about not just the fae, but other supernaturals from Crysanthi & Azak. I spent my mornings & my nights linking with Rayan, though our evening chats were usually longer than the morning ones. He was incredibly bored waiting on me to come back, but I was enjoying myself. Sure I missed him, but there was so much for me to learn here. Gia was enjoying her freedom as well. The first time I let her loose to run, the shift was quite painful & slower than it had previously been. She said we both just needed to get used to it again. Crysanthi & Azak were right there next to me though, watching carefully with eyes full of worry. Once I had fully shifted into the beautiful white wolf with silver markings, she stretched & shook out her fur before taking off running. I
Rayan POV My princess was back in my arms, & all was right in the world again. I hadn't brought up the subject of the prick in the basement yet, but I didn't want to spoil the mood. Everyone was in high spirits with my mate's return, but no one more than me. I was laying there, with her on my chest as the first rays of sun began streaming in through the window. Normally she would be up by now, insisting on a morning jog. I suppose giving her wolf the freedom she needs had eased her restlessness. I had slept for a few hours, but I was wide awake now as I watched the sleeping beauty on my chest, mesmerized by her every feature. It still amazed me that a creature so small, delicate & beautiful could be so dangerous & deadly. I had never actually seen her fight, but I had watched her train the other students so I knew she was capable of causing a fair amount of destruction. "Good morning, my King." She opened her eyes & smiled up at me. "Good morning, my princess.
Genevieve POV After training Ray took me to do some shopping so I could get gifts for my family. He was still a little shook up from my ability to take him down so easily, but after we talked about it he seemed fine. We put up the tree with my family that evening, & my sister & Zaio came over to help. It was nice doing family things with my real family, but I still missed Daniel- well, Joseph. He was the only family I had had my entire life. Having his sisters around helped ease the pain a bit though. Ray & I attempted to make his apple crumble once more, & when Jennifer realized what we were doing, she grabbed the ground cloves from the spice cabinet & tossed them to us. Ray caught it & looked at her questioningly & she just smiled. "It's missing something, right?" She smiled at us knowingly. We both laughed & she told us to add just a pinch to the crumble. Turns out, she was right. The crumble came out just like he used to make it. We had it for desert af
Rayan POV Cecilia being awake was certainly a shock to all of us. But honestly, I wasn't surprised. My girl had more power than she could possibly ever know. She had accidentally saved herself from Clay, & accidentally woken up her mother. It made me laugh to think about it. This powerful but tiny little wolf had managed to completely change & save so many lives already, mine included. The academy would never be the same again, not if she had any say in it, and she did, she had every say. I'd make sure of it. She definitely wasn't the queen I'd always imagined my mate would be, but she was better. She would change the way the kingdom operates in the best way possible. She would ensure that we were strong & united. Hell, she'd already started working her magic with the future Alphas of the kingdom. She would be a respected Queen, & though the council would attempt to argue it, she was born to do this. I knew that was another fight I would have to face. The damn council
Rayan POV As we made it to the border gate I ducked behind a tree to shift back. Luckily this pack had been here longer than I'd been alive, so most of the trees had holes in them with stashes of clothes. I put on a pair of jogging shorts & walked over to the gate where Donahue stood. I'm sure he had attempted to command his way through the gate, but Gavin was the Alpha of this pack, & Donahue's commands couldn't override his. Councilman Donahue was a proud & arrogant man. This was made apparent by the way he stood tall with his chest poked out as if he was better than everyone around him. He stood around 6'4" with dark hair & eyes. He also had that stupid mustache that I hated. I never understood why he kept it, it made him look stupid as it sat upon the hardened feature of his face. Nothing about him was pleasant, not even his fake smile. He appeared shocked to see me at first, though he recovered his stone cold gaze quickly. He didn't know I was here, which meant
Genevieve POV With Clay & his father safely locked away in the dungeons, I was free to enjoy my Christmas break & birthday week with my family & mate. Rayan spent the following days treating me like the queen I am, & life couldn't be better. He even took to calling me his queen instead of Princess. It truly was a magical Christmas break. On Christmas Eve I found myself becoming nervous for Christmas. I would finally be able to mate & mark my King, & while I fully understood what that would entail, I was incredibly nervous about it all. Sure, Rayan spent most nights touching & exploring my body, bringing me pleasure over & over again, but on Christmas night he would finally be able to take my virginity, & mark me. I wasn't sure what to expect from it, so my nerves were in overdrive. I had heard that it was painful from some of the mated & marked girls at school, but some of then said that both experiences are only painful temporarily, then it's pure euphoria. Some h
Genevieve POV I woke up tangled around Rayan, stuck between the covers & his muscular arm that was draped over me. One of his legs was in-between mine, with its weight pressing on me, while his large, thick morning wood pressed roughly into my pelvis. The sun was rising, beginning its assault on the curtains that attempted to block it out. I tried to stretch as best I could without waking him, but ofcourse I failed. "Happy Birthday my Queen." He mumbled into my neck before kissing & nipping at my marking spot. Moist heat began to pool between my legs as he did, even though I tried my best to ignore the throbbing need I felt at my core. He chuckled into the crease of my neck as he felt my juices begin to coat his thigh that was pressed against my crease. "Mmm, my Queen demands a release I see. Well then, I'm sure I can accommodate her request." He whispered as he began kissing down my neck. His fingers found my sweet spot as kissed, while his other han
Genevieve POV Once we got to the top of the stairs, Rayan didn't need any more encouragement as he grabbed my waist and pulled me backwards into him. He kissed the side of my neck as he pressed his hard cock into my back. He was already prepared to mate me, & feeling him pressed against my back with his lips on my marking spot had me ready too. I sighed & turned around to face him, only to be met with his soft lips crashing against my own. He reached down & gripped the back of my thighs, lifting me up to wrap my legs around his waist as he carried me to our room. He kicked door closed behind him as he carried me over to our bed, where he sat me down gently. "Take them off, all of them." He said as he lifted his shirt over his head. Seeing his rock hard tanned abs had me obliging quickly. I stripped myself from my tights & shirt as I watched him strip. I pulled my bra off as he slid his boxer briefs down, making his cock spring free. I slid my panties down, and m
Azak "Let's go everyone! We are going to be late for the party!" I shouted up the stairs from the foyer. Today was the Timekeeper twins sixteenth birthday and the Wolf King and Queen were throwing them a massive party to celebrate. I knew Crysanthi was doing her best to wrangle our three children so we would make it on time, but as it stood, we were already going to be late. Our oldest daughter, Daisy, came running down the steps with her little sister Rose in tow. I could hear my beautiful light upstairs rushing our youngest, Gin, to hurry him up. My boy preferred to do things on his own time, but today was not his day, it was Harmony and Hunter's day, so his mother was rushing him. A few seconds later the two of them appeared at the top of the stairs just before Crysanthi gripped his should and disappeared in a flash of bright pink. Our girls knew well enough by now to know that that was their signal to grab onto me so the three of us could portal out to the party as well, so th
Crysanthi Our peace had been hard won over the past year, but as I sat in the gardens with my light, I knew every bit of it was worth it. He had spent the day gathering fruits and vegetables from the gardens so that we would have plenty of them for Rayan's cooking class tonight. Us Royals still got together every week for dinner to keep in touch, only now Rayan and Genevieve showed up with baby Heidi in tow, usually with Rayan carrying her carseat. She was a precious little wide eyed princess, always so curious and wanting to look around at everything. Tonight Rayan was going to teach us all to cook, though Genevieve would probably spend the evening holding her pup and watching on. But she didn't particularly need to learn to cook, since Rayan was her mate after all. Ember and Fioré had grown closer over the months, and within the next couple of months the dragon Timekeeper princess would come of age and become a Queen herself, just as Genevieve and I had. Then she coul
Crysanthi The weeks flew by as the summer season blossomed. Azak and I had spent much of our time enjoying the summer castle, with him exploring every inch, nook and cranny with me. I wanted to memorize it, as it had been my family home for centuries before I had even been thought of. We spent many evenings in the graveyard Grove under the shade of my deceased loved ones. It had been the perfect reprieve from the war that we were currently in the middle of. Ember and Fioré had stayed in the Elven Kingdom, refusing to leave the new princess unprotected. They didn't want the elves to suffer the same fate that their own people had. Many of the other dragons had joined them as well. Our alliance was paying off quite nicely for everyone involved. Even as the dragons migrated to the Elven Kingdom, their own kingdom was slowly being rebuilt. The elves had even stepped up to help to show their gratitude for having the dragons protecting their princess. Everything was calm and
Azak As the baby's high pitched screams echoed through the hallways, the dark forces began falling to their knees and grabbing at their ears. I took the opportunity to scorch them all as they squealed and hissed, ensuring that if the high pitched noise didn't finish them off, the flames would. Once the flames had died down I felt Crysanthi strongly through our bond, and knew she was right around the corner. When she turned it, I saw that she had the Queen and the Timekeeper Princess in tow. She had to speak loudly, but she told me that she thought we should work our way through the castle with the baby since her cries were dropping the dark forces and I agreed. So we worked our way through the entire castle until we came to the front where the underwater battle continued to rage on. It didn't take long before my little light was using her water magic to create a fifty foot air bubble in the ocean, effectively allowing the princess's cries to reach the sirens and water
Crysanthi It was only a few days after the battle with the dark covens when we received the news that the Atlantian Timekeeper Princess had been born. Azak and I were ecstatic to hear that there had been no issues with her delivery and that all was quiet on the ocean front for now. Fortunately we had been spending the summer in my birth castle which sat just off the coast of the Atlantian Kingdom. So, we decided to take a day to go visit the new princess and offer our support however possible. I was quite excited to meet her, as I had never actually held or even known a baby before. We had arranged to have the water fae warriors set up on the coast line for the time being, just incase the dark forces decided to make a play at attempting to kidnap the new princess. Rayan and Genevieve had even sent some wolf warriors and a coven of witches that were skilled in water magic. We suspected that if a play were to be made, it would be by freaks with water magic. Atleast tha
Azak The next few days passed without incident. Crysanthi and I spent all our time in the Royal suite, enjoying our one on one time since we had gotten very little of it since officially claiming one another. But I suppose all good things must come to end. I watched her portal away without so much as an explanation, as she was coming back from the ensuite bathroom. I began feeling for her through the bond immediately, but it didn't take long before she popped in right infront of me panicked. "Call Rayan, get them to the werecat kingdom now. They're under attack. They didn't want to bother Genevieve with her being so close to her due date, but it's a couple covens of dark witches. They need our help. I'm going to portal Ember to the Elven Kingdom to watch over Queen Eidi. Grab Fioré and follow me. NOW AZAK!" She rambled out. I grabbed my phone off the night stand and followed her out of the suite. I called Rayan as we walked quickly down the stairs to the suite that Ember and Fiore
Crysanthi I woke up to Genevieve and Ember giggling like school girls as they sat on the couch eating their breakfast. When I turned to glare at them they both giggled even more as they sat eating fresh fruit and smoked fish. "Wake up sleepy head. Today you become a Queen!" Genevieve squealed joyfully. She was more excited for me than I was, but I allowed her joy to rub off on me as I jumped out of bed to join them. No doubt Azak had let them in, I'm sure he was quite excited about today's events as well. "I doubt that my coronation will be near as exciting as yours, but I'm ready I suppose." I told them as I sat on the chair across from them. "Wait, what happened at yours?" Ember asked Genevieve curiously with a giggle. "I may or may not have melted the brains of the entire werewolf council. It's no big deal or anything though. They had it coming for plotting against their monarchs." Genevieve answered her casually. Ember's eyes grew wide as she stared at Genevieve causin
Azak Once we had gotten the mess cleaned up from the fight, I had the staff immediately begin decorating for the pup shower that Crysanthi wanted to throw for Genevieve. All of our guests were fine after the battle, and excited for the shower. Genevieve had definitely made her mark on all of us, so it was nice to be able to show our appreciation by doing this for her. I knew I personally would never be able to thank her for handling Lila for me, as I knew I never would have been able to. She had payed back the debt she owed Crysanthi ten times over. But I also knew that Genevieve didn't see it that way. As far as she was concerned, she was just doing her duty as a Timekeeper Queen to regulate the balance of the light and dark. I was also quite happy for her and Rayan, and I wanted to show them how much they were appreciated with this shower. So, I went through, double checking everything from the decorations to the food to ensure that they would enjoy this shower tha
Crysanthi When I jumped back into my body it was late at night and Azak was smiling at me from outside the cell door. I smiled back at him, but my smile immediately faltered when I realized that I smelled like piss. Apparently the version of me that had jumped into my body thought it would be funny to piss herself instead of using the toilet and sink combo that was in the cell for that specific reason. "It was a freak Timekeeper Queen from dimension 5. She thought it would be hilarious to make me watch you piss yourself, and I ofcourse wasn't dumb enough to open the cell to stop her or try to change your clothes my light." Azak spoke softly when he saw that I had noticed my appearance. All I could do was nod my head at his words as I stood up to be let out of the cell. He obliged and unlocked the door for me. I didn't speak a word as I walked up both sets of stairs to our suite to shower. I knew I shouldn't be embarrassed, as it was not me who committed such an embarrassing act, b
