"I will not. I am her second chance mate, and she is my Luna." "No!" The Alpha King roared, "I forbid it! I will not consent to the match!" Again the room erupted into protests, only this time, far louder. Who was he to deny the fate given by the Moon Goddess? Did he think himself above their goddess? He didn't have the authority to make that decision! "It's too late for that, father," Ann spoke finally, suddenly tired of this back and forth between the two. " I have accepted the match and we are marked and mated. Ironic that I have found more love and solace in the arms of my second chance mate than I ever did in the arms of my family-" "Ann…" The Alpha King's expression was a mixture of pain, grief, and guilt, all rolled into one. As much as it tore her heart apart, the fact that he was so willing to give her mother's heirlooms away to a child he had sired with his mistress, well, it was the last straw. "I won't neglect my duties as a member of the Royal family, but I w
"Yeah, she's drained though. I couldn't get much sense out of her… but she was adamant that she didn't push to take over. She said… it was like she was forced forward." Adam scowled. That didn't sound right... it sounded like something more was going on here. Ann yawned loudly and she smiled sheepishly at him. "Sorry, I don't know why I'm so tired." She murmured as she fought to keep her eyes open and stretched languidly. The sensuous curves of her body stretched out into those positions had a devastating effect on Adam. His eyes darkened and his cock strained painfully at his trousers. HE clenched his jaw as he turned toward the bathroom, "Let me run you a bath. At least then you'll be fully relaxed and hopefully able to sleep well. It's been a hell of a day for you." Ann chuckled. "You know, my life seemed to be exceedingly simple before I met you, Adam." She shouted after his disappearing back. She heard him snort by way of answer as the sound of running water dr
Ann nodded as he lifted her suddenly and stepped over the side of the bath, lowering them both into the tub below. She struggled to turn to face him and he forced her to remain still, her back pressed against his chest as his cock twitched at her entrance. Adam reached his hands across her body and paid attention to her nipples, squeezing and tweaking as she moaned loudly under his touch, squirming delightfully and arcing her body against his. He kissed her neck as each time she squirmed she sank lower and his cock entered her torturously slowly. "Say the words, Ann, and I'll fill you completely." "Oh... Alpha… I... fuck.." Adam moved one hand down her body and began to circle her throbbing nub as she bucked wildly against his touch. "Say it, princess…" As she moaned and whined pitifully against him, spasming at the delightful shivers he sent through her body she suddenly reached back and grabbed a fistful of his hair. "Fuck me, Adam… Fill me… all of me…" That was
Adam insisted on driving Ann to work and as she looked at his profile as he focused on the road, her heart seemed to leap a little bit. She still hadn't found the right moment to discuss with him Lexi's offer and the way things were going, it would probably be better to tackle the issue sooner rather than later. There was only so long that they could both wear high-collared or high-necked clothing, people would start to get suspicious. "Adam… I may have found an option to consider regarding the lack of a mating mark." Ann started hesitantly. "Oh? You've had more luck than Allen and I at least. Wherever we looked we drew blanks." He frowned. "I suppose there's not really a good reason to fake a mating mark is there?" He grimaced. Ann chuckled despite her nervousness. "Well, we aren't entirely sure that you're going to like the option..." "Who's we?" Adam interrupted quickly, "This cannot go any further, Ann. If anyone finds out..." "Relax, Adam. I only spoke with Lexi.
She drew quite a few stares, more so than usual, but she shrugged it off. There wasn't much that she could do about it but hope that the furor died down. She had spoken the truth and it remained to be seen how her father would deal with it. As the office door closed behind her and she shrugged her jacket off, she noticed a neatly wrapped parcel on her desk, wrapped as if it were a gift. There was no card or anything attached to the boxes so she had no idea where they had appeared from. Ann sat slowly and stared at them for a long time before Maeve's taunting became too much and she leaned forward with a sigh and opened the first box. She gasped as the light reflected brilliantly off the beautiful stones set among the designs and suddenly felt her eyes fill with tears. The boxes held the jewelry that had been handed over to her step-sister last night, as well as the pieces that her mother had worn when she was Luna Queen. Ann sobbed emotionally as she held the pieces in
She hated this attitude. As welcoming as people were to hybrids in general, she wished the term would be abolished altogether. It led people to question their origins and when they did, they then judged them on their ancestry and not on them as an individual. Adam nodded slowly. "I know. I'm sorry. I've sought to change the lives of people within my pack and honestly, I've never had cause to question the lives of others outside my pack." "Well, Lexi is Lexi and she has our best interests at heart. Her mother died protecting her from hunters ironically enough. Her mother was the witch and her father the daemon if you were wondering. Not that it matters." Adam took a seat in the chair opposite her. "Her mother summoned him then?" He asked curiously. Ann snorted. "God no. Her mother was a healer. Not all witches prance about naked and summon the chaos you know?" Ann sniggered. "You'll have to forgive me, I don't have extensive knowledge of the other races as much as I wo
She slapped the table with her hands and stood up abruptly, her sudden movement startling Adam slightly. She looked at him with an expression of triumph as he quickly hung the call-up and she snorted loudly in disbelief at the fragment she had remembered. "Oh my goddess, Adam. It was them! Narcissa and Ada! They forced my change!" she exclaimed indignantly. "Are you sure?" Adam growled as he stood warily as if she might attack him at any second. "I'm positive, Adam! I'm having a hard time remembering anything from that night if I'm honest, but, right after I changed and when Narcissa grabbed hold of Ada, she asked her what she had done." Ann paced angrily around the side of her desk as Adam rushed over to her and took hold of her shoulders firmly. "Ann, are you absolutely sure?" "Yes! The fucking bitch... Narcissa asked what she had done and Ada said she didn't mean to. Narcissa was furious with her… I know that look, I've been on the receiving end of it many times." An
Ann pushed away from him and looked at him seriously. "I thought you didn't want to explore that side of her…" Adam sighed. "I'm not saying I'll consent to the fake marking Ann… but I think it might be worth talking to her to see what she might know. Besides, if she can't help perhaps she knows someone who can." Ann nodded sadly. "Okay. I can message her to see when she's available." She said as she pulled her phone out to send her a message. "Until then, Ann, we should stay quiet about this. At least until we know more." Adam said cautiously, watching for her reaction. She scowled at him silently for a long time before she sighed heavily. "Fine. I won't murder them in their beds just yet. I'll wait and see what we can find out. I know you're right Adam, it's just… they've taken so much from me, and I want justice for my mother." Adam nodded grimly. "Don't worry, my Luna. You'll get your justice, and when you do, I'll be right there with you." Both Adam and Ann
