Adam
I couldn't stop thinking about Desiree. When she showed up in the blue gown I got her, I was able to appreciate the beauty the moon goddess had blessed me with. I couldn't help but decline the engagement. Although she was a Moon, I was going to fight for her with everything that I had. Her vanilla fragrance was what drew me to the back of the club where Nickson was beating her up. I had traced residues of her scent for a while during my secret walks to the moon community, until I finally found her that night. I did not care that my fated mate was a Moon. I was grateful for her. Desiree was a goddess, and those turquoise eyes pierced my soul. It took a lot of discipline not to claim her.I thought she was rejecting the bond at first when she was indifferent towards me, but when I found out she wasn't of age yet, I understood why. When I saw her at the cafeteria, I couldn't let my mate serve others, she was to be a princess and future queen, and that was why I moved her to my side so I could be close to her and protect her. I wasn't happy she had come to work in the blood packhouse, but I later found out that someone else had signed her up for it. I was glad to see her.I had controlled myself and tried to hide my feelings, but I couldn't anymore. If I didn't kiss Desiree that night, I would have gone insane. Seeing her in that dress made me want to do all kinds of unspeakable things to her, but I had to control myself, and I hated it. I knew the kiss was sudden, and I knew it shocked her, but I honestly had no other option. I wanted my mate. I needed her, but I had to be wise about it, so I do not get her in trouble.Taking her on that walk was necessary. I wanted to profess my love to her, but I knew it would be wrong and sudden. I knew I should not have kissed her the way I did, but I had to. That Vanilla just kept calling me, and it was driving me nuts. Apart from her scent, her personality was the perfect match for me. Desiree was all I wanted in a mate. Even if we weren't fated, I would still fall in love with her. I wished I could run away with her, and that would have been an option if she hadn't told me of her sick mother. Running away with Desiree would be selfish, and because of that, I needed to make being together with her possible, so that when she turned eighteen, I could have her and claim her as my mate.Kissing Desiree had become a habit for me. I waited for her to come with the food in the mornings so I could get my fill for her. I was addicted, and I saw her relax gradually, which was a good sign, but she never asked for anything, and we never went beyond kissing.Two months had passed since the engagement party, and my father finally called me to his chambers for a family meeting. It meant we would be eating together, and I wouldn't see Desiree that night. I was very sad and unhappy about it. My wolf, Kristof, was restless about it, and I knew he wouldn't give me peace until we saw our mate.I entered my father's chambers and found Lola and her parents there, along with my best friend, Kyle and the future beta of the pack."Come in, son," My father said with a jolly voice, "I believe we should eat dinner together as a family," he said, and I got irritated because his beta wasn't part of our family. Neither was Lola and her mother and Kyle.I sat at the table, and Lola sat next to me. She tried to intertwine her fingers with mine, and I pulled my hands away quickly. I couldn't pretend around her anymore. I have always found her repulsive, and it had nothing to do with Desiree. She had been repulsive before I found Desire. It had a lot to do with her bad attitude and arrogance. I couldn't stand her, and I didn't think it would be fair on the packs to give them a Luna and queen like Lola. She was a big no.My father noticed my behaviour towards her, and I was sure her parents noticed it too. I honestly didn't care. I didn't want to be saddled with the girl. She was a handful, and I couldn't deal with her."Why are you that way towards your mate, Adam?" my father asked, and I looked at him boldly."She is not my mate, and I have had enough of all this nonsense. I do not need you to choose a mate for me, father. I will choose one for myself." I told him, and everyone was silent."We have discussed this, Adam?" My father said, surprised."You are alpha and King of this country, father, but you have no right to force me to claim anyone. I am not interested in Lola, and it seems like I haven't spoken loud enough," I said."We have discussed this. Lola is Beta Green's daughter. There will be no better match for you out there because this is the best part of the world right now. The ash has taken over everything. You cannot get a mate from other packs, so if you haven't found a mate among the Blood pack members yet, it simply means you have to choose one here." my father explained, and I smiled."The Moons are there.." I said, " and they have beautiful and respectful women too," I said, and he banged the table."Preposterous!" he yelled, " Over my dead body, would we have a Moon Luna and Queen!""But we forget it is their lands, and we are enjoying the benefits of their hard work," I pointed out."It is our land now, and they are enjoying our charity. I hope you aren't getting any ideas because of that attractive food taster of yours?" My father asked, and I frowned."I rejected Lola even before I had a female taster. This has nothing to do with her," I told my father."Liar!" Lola said in tears."Shut up, Lola," Beta Green warned his daughter, " How dare you speak to the future King in that tone? " He asked, and Kyle smiled."I see why my friend doesn't want you," Kyle said with a smirk, and she began to cry."He spends a lot of time with that Moon girl. " Lola said, crying. "He locks the door when she takes his food to him," she said, and my father was shocked, and he looked at me. The stupid girl had tried the door and found it locked. I needed to think quickly. Kyle came to my aid immediately."That is because we do not want you disturbing our meals. I am the one that locked the door," Kyle said, and I was relieved. I linked him to thank him, and he told me we would need to talk later."Father, I do not want Lola," I said point-blank. "Let us stop all the pretence. I rather remain mateless than being with someone like her. She is a handful, and I can't deal with her nonsense. I want someone like my mother, and this girl is far from it." I told him, and my father bowed his head."Give her time, son. I am sure Beta Green's mate would work on her daughter." He said, and I shook my head."I do not want her, father, and I will not claim her. No one chose for you. Please do not choose for me," I said and remained silent.
After the meal, the Greens and Kyle left, and my father and I stayed indoors."I do not like the fact that you are spending time with that Moon girl. You are my son and shouldn't be seen with the help. She is beautiful and she might tickle your fancy once in a while. You can play with her if you like, but do not get ideas and do not get caught with her. I have moon mistresses too, they are beautiful women, but no one knows. You are being careless," my father said, and my heart broke."I noticed you have been doing a lot for the Moons lately. Does it have anything thing to do with that girl?" He asked, and I shook my head. He studied me for a while and then smiled at me. I left his room and returned to mine.I tossed and turned throughout, and when I could not sleep, I linked Desiree and she responded."Where are you?" I asked her."In my room at the moon quarters," she replied, a bit sleepy, and I broke off the link. I snuck out of our quarters and went to the Moon quarters. I had been there a couple of times during the renovation, and I knew exactly where Desiree's room was because I had made it for her. I knocked lightly, and she let me in."Adam, you will get me in trouble," She said to me, complaining."Shhh," I said and pulled her close to my chest. I wrapped myself in her scent, and Kristoff calmed down."I can't wait for you to turn eighteen, Desire," I said, and she sighed. She was used to me by now, so it was much easier. I locked the door, and we cuddled to sleep. I had the best sleep of my life with her in my arms. How could my father want to deprive me of this peace? I knew I needed to find a way for us to be together.I snuck out of her room in the early hours of the morning and went on a run with my wolf. I would pretend like I stayed out all night so no one would suspect I had been in Desiree's room. I knew I would need to come clean to Kyle soon but not yet.Desiree Six months had passed, and I was a lot comfortable around Adam now. We snuck around a lot. It bothered me, but as long as he wasn't trying to sleep with me, I was okay. Although I wouldn't lie about the sexual tension between us, we kept it under control. He often came to hold me at night, and I looked forward to it. I knew what I was doing was dangerous, and Alice's journal explained the repercussions to me, but I was falling fast. My eighteenth birthday was in a month and I couldn't wait. I tried to keep my head down. People had started acting funny towards me, but it didn't bother me. I was taken off all physical tasks, and I knew some people began to suspect that I might be sleeping with the Prince. Aunt Margret called me into her room one evening to ask me intimate questions. "Desiree, are you sleeping with Prince Adam?" she asked me with a stern look on her face, and I shook my head. "Are you sure, because you reek of him, and people are spreading rumours about you t
Adam I woke up in the clinic hooked to some machines, and I saw Lola by my bedside wiping away her tears. I remembered what happened, and got up immediately. "Your highness, you are okay," Lola said, and I saw Kyle. "Where is Desiree?" I linked him. "Not good. Your father wants to execute her for poisoning you, but they want her to suffer first. She has been locked up all night. The king judged her and condemned her this morning," he said, and I got up immediately. I started rushing out. Lola tried to hold me, but I pulled away forcefully. I did not appreciate her touching me. "Why didn't you protect her?" I linked Kyle. "I couldn't. You were unconscious, and Lola came in with Nickson and started beating her. Everything happened so fast." I clenched my fist at what he told me, and I promised to deal with Lola for touching Desiree. First, I needed to get her out of the mess. I rushed to my father chambers, where he was with Beta Green. I was fuming with anger, but I kept it unde
Desiree When they told me the king had pardoned me, I was happy. The enforcers escorted me to my room, where aunty Margret was waiting for me with a stern look on her face, and I wondered why. "Come, let me attend to your wounds," she said. She helped me bathe and dressed up my wounds. They were healing, but the pain was still there. I felt Adam in my head, but I ignored him. "You need to thank the goddess that he didn't die, Desiree. He was the one that got you out of that place," she said, and I began to sob. "I didn't do it, aunty," I cried, and she held me close. "I know little one. I know. Some people have started working against you, Desiree, and I know why?" she said and looked at me angrily. "Why did you lie to me that you were not sleeping with Prince Adam?" she asked, and my eyes opened wide from surprise. "I am not. I swear," I argued, and Aunt Margret shook her head. "Don't lie to me, Desiree. Your room and bed reek of him," she said, and I froze. I had been caught
Adam Kyle was in shock, and I knew it. Desiree looked like it. Her eyes and lips looked like it, and I looked like it too, and I knew my scent was all over her. I had to hide my erection and calm myself down. I honestly didn't know what to do or how it would work, but I knew I would soon have to face my fears. "You are going to get that girl killed," Kyle said the moment Desiree left, and I hoped she hadn't heard him. It took a lot to convince her to give me a chance. "Are you sleeping with her?" he asked me, and I shook my head. He narrowed his eyes, and I shook my head. "She isn't ready. I won't take advantage of her like that," I told him, and he sighed. "So all you are doing is making out?" He asked, and I nodded. "You weren't there yesterday morning when your father had her beaten and sentenced her to death," Kyle said, and I froze. Desiree didn't tell me that. My fist clenched, and I felt sad and angry at the same time. "I see, she didn't tell you," Kyle said, "Well, she w
Desiree TWO WEEKS LATER My yard duties were finally over, and I could rest. I had told aunty Margret that I wasn't going to leave. I couldn't. I had fallen in love with Adam completely. Even though neither of us had professed our love to each other, the feeling was mutual and I hoped that our case would be different. For both our sakes, I hoped we survived whatever came our way. Adam had taken me off food tasting duty, and I was glad. He made sure the new food taster ate and waited one hour before eating the meal. I was put on wardrobe duty, but the bloods working for Adam would have done all the work before I arrived. Adam basically just wanted to keep me around him because I literally had no job. All we did was make out for most of the duration, and then I would leave. He would come to my room at night and continue. As every day passed, I wished we could actually be together, and I prayed to the moon goddess to make it so. While he lay next to me on my bed, I admired his face, an
DesireeI stayed in my room all day. Aunt Margret came to check on me, and the moment I saw her, I began to cry. She wondered what might have happened. She sat at the foot of my bed and held me close. "I heard you were summoned by the king, Desiree. My heart was in my mouth," she confessed, and I cried some more. "Please do not tell me he found out about you and Adam?" she said from fear, and I nodded. She got up immediately. "Get up Desiree, I need to get you out of here," she said, genuinely afraid for me. "I am not in trouble, Aunty," I told her, and she had a question in her eyes. She stood still and observed me. "You know you can't joke like that?" she said. "I wasn't Joking, aunty. The king knows, but I am not going to be punished," I confessed to her. "What! Why?" She asked. "Adam is to claim me on my eighteenth birthday so I can bear him grandchildren. My children will not be royalty, but they will be bloods. I will not be the Luna or Queen. I will not be a servant, nei
Desiree I woke up in the morning feeling nervous. I hadn't heard from Adam all through the night, and he hadn't reached out to me yet. I was worried. I was taken off the servant list, and I was allowed to walk with my head up even though Adam hadn't claimed me yet, but it was important people got used to the fact that I couldn't be bossed about by Bloods anymore simply because I would be sleeping with the prince. It was embarrassing when I thought of it, and I knew a lot of moons and bloods saw me as a whore, but I honestly didn't care. Because deep down, I knew they were just jealous. Whether I will be Luna or not, I was Adam's woman, something no one could boast of. I took a stroll to see if I would bump into Tim. I had been discussing Tim's promotion with Adam, and he had promised to do something about it. Not wanting to be forceful, I had to wait for Adam to act on his words. I noticed they had taken down the party decorations, and I wondered why. Someone told me the party was c
Desiree Adam kissed me deeply and shut the door behind him. He hurriedly took off my blouse and growled. My breasts were out, and he bent to devour them. Suckling my nipples and caressing my body. Everything happened so fast that I couldn't help it. I couldn't resist him. My pants were soaked, and my core ached and clenched for something. My core wanted to swallow something, and I needed whatever it was. I moaned and cried. "Soon, you will cry and call my name." he whispered in my ear, and all I could say was "yes,". All my anger and worry had melted away. All that replaced it was love, lust and the need for satisfaction. He laid me down and kissed my neck, then travelled back down to my breasts. He pushed them together, working on my nipples at the same time. I tried to touch myself, but he stopped me. He nibbled my earlobe and whispered. "You will ache for me until your eighteenth birthday when I will take it all," he said, and I cried because that was five days from now. I wan
