Hey guys, sorry for the delay. It's been a busy couple of weeks, but I intend to catch up by giving you guys a couple chapters a day over the next few days! I hope you enjoy them. The week of the Wolf Moon Festival is finally here!
Genevieve POV As the councilmen unfroze their heads all lifted, looking towards Ray curiously. They weren't quite sure what had just happened, as the last thing they would remember was him standing from his seat angrily as Razor took over his body. But now, he was seated, calm & in control. It probably shouldn't have been so humorous to me, but it was. I couldn't help myself when a giggle escaped my lips, causing their heads to whip in my direction. "Allow me to introduce you all to my beautiful mate & your queen." Ray began as his outstretched an arm in my direction. Before he could finish however, one of the gentlemen who had obviously lost the plot interrupted him to express his disapproval. "Surely you can't actually believe that you can just make the daughter of a warrior your queen and that the packs will be OK with it. You will lose the approval and good standing the crown has with some of the largest packs if you make this midrank girl your queen. The
Genevieve POV Ray cooked me a nice lunch & I took a short nap afterwards. Carrying this pup was exhausting me. But, I woke up from my nap to find that my family had arrived while I was sleeping. Ray told me that he had planned a dinner with our allying packs so everyone would be in attendance. I told him that I wanted to do the Alpha families so that Andy could join as well. Since I had gotten a glimpse inside her mind, I knew that she often felt left out, & I wanted to include her in this. My secret would be out in the morning, so there would be no harm in letting her in on it this evening. I know it sounds ridiculous that I would want to befriend someone who was once so mean to me, but I understood Andy. I had known her for as long as I can remember, and though those memories weren't always the best, I had always been able to understand why she acted the way that she did. He ofcourse agreed, as he was always willing to give me what I wanted, so, we invited everyon
Rayan POV I woke in the morning to my perfect little mate kissing and nibbling on my mark, which made my cock even harder than it normally was in the mornings. I hadn't tried to seduce her in days, with her being pregnant, I didn't want to drain her energy. I figured when she wanted it, she would let me know, & I was right. I gripped her thigh that was draped over my leg & pulled it higher, rubbing it over my hardened cock. The movement made her let out an angelic moan as she nibbled on my mark. That was all the confirmation I needed that she wanted me, so I rolled her over onto her back before capturing her sweet soft lips with my own. She willingly opened her mouth, granting my tongue entrance, and I greedily accepted the invitation as I slid my tongue into her mouth to taste every inch of her. I caressed and massaged her tongue with my own as I rocked my hips into hers. With every rock of my hips her sweet nectar coated my shaft, begging me to enter her tight, moist c
Genevieve POV I stood there at the edge of the stage, just behind the curtains with the girls as Ronan made the beginnings of the announcements. He was going over the itinerary for the week, ensuring that everyone knew how meals & events would go. While Ray did his best to pay attention & be present for those announcements, I would occasionally catch him glancing over at me wearing a proud smile. I didn't need to peek into his mind to know that he was ecstatic to announce our mating today. We both were to be honest. The hiding was getting old, & I wasn't sure how much longer Gia would be able to hide our changed scent or our aura with the pup draining our energy. We were completely prepared for this though, all of us. Kelsey & Greg understood their duties for the day, & Stella knew what to expect from her marking. Us girls were dressed perfectly, with me in a royal blue & silver form fitting dress, that was cut just above the knee. Stella had on a royal blue dress, & Kel
Rayan POV After speaking with her family for a bit, we encouraged them to walk around & enjoy the festival, while we would do the same. They took off their own ways, and I was happy to have my mate back to myself, though I knew people would be pulling her attention, wanting to know all about their new queen, all day. But for now, I was content, as I pulled her into me, noticing the way her sweet caramel scent had a hint apple in it, though it was a bit nutty too. She wasn't protecting her scent anymore, or her aura as much, which I'm sure was less stressful for Gia. "Your scent has apples & nuts mixed in it now, is that was I smell like to you?" I told her as I took a deep inhale of her neck. She giggled as I ran my nose along her neckline, now noticing every scent that made the mouth watering scent I knew to be my mate. I noticed that there was a hint of vanilla & cinnamon too, just ever so slightly, layered under the layers of dark chocolate, caramel, apple & n
Genevieve POV We spent the day walking around the campus, greeting members of all the different packs that had come to join us for the week's festivities. Each time we met someone new, Ray would pull me in close & nuzzle his face into the crook of my neck. He was becoming even more protective of me now that my scent was changing. Almost as if my changed scent called to him to do so. I didn't mind it though, everyone knew that he was mine & I was his, & that was exactly what I never knew I wanted. We walked around arm in arm all day, happy & content now that the world knew we were together. He took me back up to our residence for lunch, and ensured I got my afternoon nap in afterwards. The pup had really been taking a lot out of me, and I was needing afternoon naps just to get through my classes most days. On weekends I was spending most of my day in bed with him pampering me, but I didn't mind it one bit. I used them to rest and recuperate from the week and he helped t
Rayan POV It was an interesting evening, having that insignificant Alpha challenge my queen. Seriously, what the hell was he thinking, spitting at her feet like that. Just thinking about it now made my canines tingle, wanting to elongate & rip his throat out. Razor was furious & if it weren't for my mate's touch to calm him, he may have killed that Alpha right there. But, as I had to remind him as we showered this morning, what's done is done, & we will handle him however our queen sees fit tomorrow morning. We came back to our residence after that interesting affair & her brother & sister followed us back, telling her how well she had handled herself. I, on the other hand, had lost control. It's funny, you would think that now that he has a mate Razor would be calmer but with her carrying our pup he was more protective over her than ever & I struggled even more to control him than I had before. But, I suppose that's why she was my better half. The control she had over
Genevieve POV The day went off without a hitch as the 4 of us made our rounds through the campus. It was quite obvious that we had the respect of the Alphas & Lunas, though some of their children weren't completely on board. I couldn't help but notice the way that Isabella hung around the council members, no doubt attempting to concoct some sort of plan to remove me from the picture. She was bitter, as she should be. She knew now that when she had visited back in November, that Rayan was already mine, which was why he sent her away. He had wanted nothing to do with her from the moment he met me, and I could read in her aura thar she was furious over it. I'm also sure that it didn't help matters much that I had knocked her out at the dinner table. Well, the packs would learn not to mess with their Queen one way or another. They would surely learn that lesson today as we held trials for the Donahues & the Alpha that dared to disrespect me. Alpha Maverick, I had learned h
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
