-Cain- My mate was starving for me. She was starving for me to take away the pain inside her and replace it with something better. So for three days, every time she had me close, she begged me to fuck her. Not always with words. Sometimes she would come crawling to me naked as I entered the room, or she would simply push the covers away and spread her legs. She didn’t venture far from our room, and only because I struck a deal with her that I would fuck her if she ate did she eat. I couldn’t lie and say I didn’t enjoy how much my mate craved me, but I knew now was not the time to lose focus, and I couldn’t not be her medicine. I was a temporary solution, not the cure, but it was hard to say stop when the grip her pussy had me in was more pleasurable than anything I could imagine. On the third day, in the evening, I literally fucked her to sleep. She lay under me, still knotted to me, a smile on her face as she rested, and I buried my nose in her neck, inhaling her sweet strawberry sc
-Cain-Willow joined Henry and me later in the day, yet there was an interesting expression on her face. I was just happy she had left the bed and the room and had finally decided to get up and do something. Not that I didn’t enjoy spending our time together in bed, up against the wall, or with her face down on the couch. I definitely enjoyed how much my mate needed me, but I didn’t want her to lock herself away because of my brother’s choice to fuck around.“How are you feeling, Luna?” Henry asked, making Willow give him a small smile.“Better,” she admitted, then her eyes met mine, and she blushed like crazy before hiding behind a document.How can she look so adorable? my wolf panted in my head. Tell Henry to go, and then dive underneath that skirt and eat her pussy until she screams our name.Goddess, you’re never horny, are you? I teased my wolf.But she looks so good! And she is carrying our pup! Take her.I ignored my wolf, instead settling for watching my beautiful mate, who c
-Willow- Hearing Cain speak about how he knew how to kill and that very few ever believed in him hit me deeply. I had never realized how much he actually craved someone believing in him, even when he probably thought he didn’t. To me, it seemed like Cain had been lost for a good while, but now he was given this amazing opportunity, and it was clear he was starting to believe in himself as well. He grew more confident with each question, and while I couldn’t deny that Henry still did exceptionally well, I was really proud of Cain for trying so hard. He didn’t have long before the interview, and so there was a lot for us to go over. He couldn’t seem too afraid, or the council would notice he wasn’t as confident as a future king should be. He had to seem completely sure of himself. “Okay, last question,” I said, clicking the top part of my pen, feeling more and more excited. “Another?” Cain exclaimed tiredly. “It’s just one.” “Yes, but we have been doing this all day. I would rather
-Cain-Willow lay beside me later in the night, sleeping soundly. I couldn’t help but rest my hand on her flat stomach, feeling the power slowly turning stronger within her. I knew there wasn’t really a presence to feel yet. What I was catching onto was the extra spike of power now taking place inside Willow, but I knew our child would soon be able to make themselves noticed. Werewolf children could feel their parents even as they grew in the womb, and I knew it was important for our kid to feel me and grow comfortable with me. They were already attached to Willow, so I had to let them know I was not a threat to them or their mother, but I would always put the two of them first. They were now my highest priority, and I smiled as I watched Willow, feeling my heart act in a way it had never done before. What was this strange fluttering?Could it be that you’re falling for our mate? my wolf asked me as if I were a complete idiot for not realizing what it meant to fall for someone, but I
-Willow- I stood in one of the smaller living rooms, looking out at the slight drizzle. Fall really showed its rainy side. It never seemed to stop. I had such a strong need to go out for a run and just shake this uncomfortableness in my chest, but I didn’t want to run in the rain. My fur coat would get all wet, and when I changed back, I knew I would be shivering and soaked to the bone. So I stayed inside instead, looking outside. You know he was just feeling the pressure, right? my wolf asked me, but I wasn’t listening to her. I looked down, spinning a simple little gold ring around. It had this tiny diamond forged into it, and I remembered when Carter gave it to me. It was when he officially wanted to declare we were together, and it had become almost a part of me to wear it. I didn’t even think about it whenever I put it on or let it remain around my finger. However, for the first time in years, I slowly began slipping it off. It felt wrong on me. “Willow?” I turned to look over
-Cain- It was strange walking into the building where the important council meetings were being held. It was in the middle of the human city, yet it looked just like any other building. However, the place was filled with tension. As I walked inside, my parents, Carter and his Beta, were already waiting there in front of the staircase leading up to the meeting room. Willow walked on one side of me, and Henry on the other. There was such an angry energy swirling between not just me and Carter, but Henry and his older brother too. Yet my parents gave me a smile before we all ascended the staircase and walked into the room filled with council members standing around. They had changed the room, so instead of one long table going down the room, they had placed a table at the far end, and only a few seats for the most powerful alphas stood ready. The rest gathered behind them as they went to find their seats. On the sidelines were seats for my parents and our betas. Willow took a seat, but s
-Cain- “And what will your first order as king be?” one of the older alphas asked. “To protect our kind. I want us to take the rogues weird behavior more seriously and get it under control.” “You mean you will order a war?” “Not war. Protection,” I corrected. “I want more capable fighters out there to take charge and bring the cities under control. They used to be run by lone wolves who never bothered anyone, but now the rogues have gotten so bold as to take over. We need to stop them before the cities become completely unsafe for all wolves.” The council nodded approvingly. “Where will you get the fighters?” another alpha asked. “I would ask the other alphas. I would ask them for the fighters they could spare.” “You would want all these different fighters to work together?” “In a time where things are dangerous and tricky, us wolves can come together. We have shown that. We have proven we can stand shoulder to shoulder in trying times, despite the packs we belong to,” I expla
-Willow-We were all nervous as we waited for Carter’s interview to conclude, but once it did, we were all called inside. We took our seats again as Carter and Cain stood in front of the alphas, ready to hear their verdict. I focused on Cain, but as I did, I noticed Carter looking my way. Our eyes locked, and I felt a strange pain in my heart. I had never felt that way when we looked at each other, but I could also see pain in his eyes. Nonetheless, I hadn’t chosen to go around sleeping with a lot of people. Even if he felt hurt by me, it didn’t excuse his behavior. I looked away, focusing on my father, who cleared his throat, looking at the princes.“Now we have come to a decision,” he stated. “Some didn’t think we should continue, that Prince Carter is still the obvious choice.”I noticed the brothers glancing at each other, but then my father smiled, and I knew what his choice had been.“But most of us thought Prince Cain should at least have a chance to show what he is capable of.
