It’s been a blissful few days with Nadia. We were locked in my bed chamber exploring one another’s bodies and getting to know one another as mates. We had to emerge from my bed chambers so that no one get too suspicious. A few days of a master having fun with his bed slave doesn’t raise too much suspicion. More than that and Nadia will be accused of bewitching me, or something stupid. If they knew she was my mate no one would question how long we were locked in our bed chambers. In fact, they’d be happy thinking we were attempting to produce an heir. Unfortunately, no one can know yet that we are mates, but the time is coming soon. I also have preparations to make for our travels. I need a suit and Nadia will need a dress. I’ve taken measurements and sent them to a dress tailor to have her something made. I asked Nadia what color she might want, material, and design, but she didn’t offer much. I think such fine things intimidate her. Of course, they do. She’s used to being a slave a
I hate that Maddox’s family instructed us. It was nice the last few days being locked away in Maddox’s bed chambers enjoying one another. The sex is mind-blowing. Okay, I have nothing to compare it to, but goddess above its mind-blowing to me. The minute I opened the door and saw his family I knew I needed to leave. Maddox mind linked me to go get our food. I’m still not used to mind linking. It’s a pack thing and rogue slaves aren’t part of the pack. However, with Maddox marking me I’m now a part of the pack. It’s still strange to hear his voice in my head and for me to reply back to him. It was one of the things we worked on the last few days in between our sex. It took me several hours to get the hang of it and I’m not totally confident I can do it all the time. With practice, I’ll be mind linking like a pro in no time. It will always help when I finally shift, but I won’t be able to do that till after the ball. It’s not safe right now. I hate leaving Maddox’s side. I’m anxious w
Uncle George, my mother, and Elliot enter my office and make themselves comfortable. Goddess why can’t they just leave me alone? I was enjoying a peaceful day with my mate as we work on pack business together. Not to mention I was about to get a quick fuck in. Now that I’ve had Nadia all I want is her. I’d also like to put a pup in her belly sooner rather than later. Having a mate and heir will strengthen my position for Alpha King.I know it sounds like I’m using Nadia and maybe there is part of me that is. However, I do care about her and I know with time I can fall madly in love with her. I can’t help that she gives me the advantage and power I need right now. Even if she didn’t provide me with what I needed right now I would still love and care for her. She is my mate, my gift from the moon goddess and I will cherish her forever no matter what.Besides, I’m heading towards my mid-twenties it’s time for me to have my mate by my side and an heir or two. Nadia already knows I need an
Storming down to the dungeons my family is hot on my tail. They are saying words to me, but I can’t hear them through the anger burning in my veins. I hate them undermining me. They have been doing it since my father died. Elliot is just his father’s puppet and I wish he would grow a pair and realize I’m the one on his side, not his father. Entering the dungeons I find two warriors guarding Nadia in a cell. I expected that would be hurting her, or even torturing her under my uncles orders. No way he would let her be arrested and let her go unscathed. “Did they hurt you?” I ask Nadia through the mind liink. “They tried, but I accidentally let out my Luna command on them not to hurt me. I didn’t mean to. I have no idea how to control it.” she reply through the mind link. “It’s okay. I will teach you. I’m glad you stopped them from hurting you so I don’t have to kill them. I will deal with them. I’m going to use my Alpha command to prove that you are innocent.” I warn her through
Maddox takes me back to our room. I’m shaken. I didn’t know what was happening. I’ve been called many things before, but a traitor is not one of them. There is rumored to be a group of rogue slaves working with free rogues to take down the council that governs the packs and stops the Alphas from electing an Alpha King. The rogues don’t want to live under pack rule, nor do they want to be slaves. They want the right to choose to be free or in a pack. I don’t know where I stand on the subject other than the rogues shouldn’t be slaves. I would never be a traitor, no matter what. Even if I agreed with their cause, I would never betray Maddox; that was before I knew he was my mate. Maddox has always been a fair Alpha, and I know many of the younger Alphas his age are like him. They disagree with rogue slaves and want to find a way to make peace with the rogues. It’s why many of them want Maddox to be Alpha King. He also has the lycan bloodline to help claim the role. Yes, I know about Ma
I leave Nadia to rest and study. She’s taking an interest in her Luna studies which is a good thing. I know being Luna is intimidating to her, but I believe she will be a wonderful Luna and Luna Queen. She has a good heart and offers a perspective that we higher-ranking wolves don’t see. She’s a refreshing breeze on an old system. I’m glad she was respective to being Luna Queen. I don’t know why I’m surprised she already knew about my proposition to be Alpha King. Gossip does run wild in the low-ranking wolves but also in the higher-ranking wolves as well. It’s not a secret that I’m the last of the Lycan bloodline. It’s why I need an heir sooner rather than later. I don’t want to pressure Nadia yet about a pup. With any luck from the goddess, it will come on its own. We have been having a lot of sex, so it’s very possible. Entering my office, I find Elliot waiting for me. Great. Just what I need. “How can I help you, Elliot.” “I’m on your side, Maddox. I didn’t agree with them arre
Today we head to the capitol. I hate traveling in cars. I tend to get motion sickness. It’s lame for a werewolf to get motion sickness, but I can’t help it. Maddox seems to think it’s because I wasn’t in my first car ride till I was ten, and most are introduced to a car as a baby. I hate it because it makes me feel weak, and I will be Luna and probably the Luna Queen. It’s embarrassing. Maddox keeps telling me not to worry about it and that it doesn’t make me look weak. He even bought me some motion sickness beads for our trip. It looks like a fancy bracelet, so no one will be any the wiser. Let’s hope no one else figures it out. I have enough pressure as it is. I’m nervous about Maddox announcing me as his mate. Once he does, everything changes. I’m no longer just a rogue slave. I will become Luna. There will be an official ceremony and maybe even Luna Queen if Maddox truly ends up becoming Alpha King. I can’t even begin to process that. I knew it was a possibility, but Maddox con
After we get over our shock, the two of us ran to each other and embrace. I can’t believe I’m hugging my mother. Her scent is amazing to smell again. My heart swells with the joy of seeing her again. I honestly never thought I’d see my parents again. Eight years and I can’t believe my mom is still alive. “Nadia, is it really you?” My mom asks as we break our hug. “Yes, momma, it’s me. I never thought I’d see you or dad again.” “I didn’t think I’d see either of you again as well. I’m so glad to see you are alive. You look well.” She comments as she looks me over. I look her over, and she doesn’t look well at all. Her face is filling with wrinkles. Her eyes look like someone who has had the life beaten out of them. My mom is hunched over now, and she never was before. Her clothes are basically rags. I want to punch whoever did this to her. “Yes, Momma. I have a wonderful master. Alpha Maddox has been very kind to me.” I reply. I want to tell her everything, but not here, not where
