Loud trumpeting sounds outside the dressing room.From the murmuring, I conclude that quite a few guests must have already arrived by now. I hear whispers but also laughter, so the mood downstairs is on the upswing. The King's mating is no simple affair; it is one of the most critical events in the entire werewolf community after the coronation.Alidya enthusiastically helps me into my dress, she beams with pride. Her hands are slightly trembling out of joy as she whispers all kinds of mantras while busy. The robe has all sorts of gadgets that need to be tied. It was Alidya's personal choice so she knows exactly how everything should be held together. Finally the gown is on my body and she shoves me toward the tall mirror. "You look great, Saray. Everyone can see that the Crown Princes are already well on their way. The Kingdom eagerly awaits their arrival. You will be the perfect Queen, my child," she babbles emotionally. I see tears in her eyes that sh

Confidently, the man walks down the passageway until he stands in front of the stage.I can't see him very well, Eric blocks my view of the audience. I know he does it deliberately to shield me from my family. The Royal family fears that my parents' emotional outbursts may persuade me to go with them, leaving the Kingdom. Again it is silent, you can hear a pin drop in the hall."I know you. You are Alpha Esis of the Midnight Moon pack," the Council president states in amazement. "Tell Alpha, what do you know about this case and what is your part?" he asks formally. Esis! I can't believe my ears. Is Esis indeed here? And where is Magda?"Well, Council President. I am convinced that Alpha Jasper and Luna Rain belong together, paired by the Moon Goddess for a reason. Rarely have I seen such deep love between two wolves, it is more than the mate bond," he declared admiringly. "I have also seen Rain with King Ralph. Although she finds his compan

Like a robot, I go through the rites.Now that Selene herself has confirmed my mating with Ralph, consulting the Oracle is unnecessary. The Sages cut my palm and mix my blood with theirs and Ralph's. Then we both drink the mixture as a bond with each other and the Kingdom. At a distance, Alidya and Randall stand and watch with satisfaction. "Rain Weiner, will you take King Ralph as your mate? Do you pledge allegiance to the Kingdom and all he represents?" Elder Nicolas questions me. My throat clenched, I had to force the words out; "I do." Elder Antony of Storm Forest takes my hand and places it in Ralph's. "My King, Storm Forest is counting on you to treat Beta daughter and Luna Rain, with respect and prioritize her happiness," he states briefly. Ralph nods to the man. "You can be sure of that, Elder," he replies ambitiously. He then takes me by the hand and leads me to his parents. Randall and Alidya are clearly stricken by the ceremony and lay their hands on us. "As

Luna Queen Rain's POV I've never felt like this before.In fact, I am dry-hopping Jasper, the man has to make so much effort to control himself. But I'm so damn horny, I can hardly hold back. My nipples are painfully tense, they demand the caress of my mate's mouth. I constantly kiss him, deep and compelling, but it is only a drop in a hot plate. I must have this man, get him inside me and as soon as possible. My body craves his nakedness against mine and I know he feels the same. The bulge in his pants betrays him, also the throaty moans that he tries to suppress. I wonder what we used to be like.Jasper told me we lived together in Storm Forest for three years. He had been in love with me for years and was relieved when I finally turned out to be his fated one. We were glued to each other. And look at me now, I haven't even had him in my arms for a day and I'm a total mess. So what was it like when I had him with me every night? Was the

In-Laws Rachel!Ralph had also associated that name with Jasper. He had said that Jasper had taken Rachel agda as my replacement. My sister! And she hates me, she was clear about that. Was she why I abandoned Jasper and the pack? Did the two already have a relationship back then and I found out? I stare at the woman. Many of her features match mine, as does Ruth.If Jasper were indeed madly in love with me before, it would have taken him no effort to take my sister as a replacement. After all, it took him two years to find me. He may not be looking for me, as he claims. The audacity of Rachel to talk like that to her Alpha and Luna indicates that she is not an ordinary pack member. Perhaps Jasper just bumped into me in Human Town and felt compelled to get me back. All sorts of scenarios run through my head. Ruth and my mother enter the dining room.With one look at Rachel, they understand what has happened. So the feud between Rachel and I da
