"NO!", I roared at her.
She looked at me with so much frustration and agony on her face. Then she balled her beautiful, delicate fists. "I don't want you!"
"Yes you do! You're mine, Elizabeth. You know you're mine." I could feel the moons on my arm burning so brightly that they were almost burning into my skin. Every part of my DNA was yelling for me to have this beautiful woman on fire in my arms again.
What she was saying made no sense. She obviously felt the same way about me, but for whatever reason she was fighting her feelings for me.
"I am not yours, Mathew. I will never be yours. In fact...", she paused. It looked like she was in a great amount of pain. Saying all these things was hurting her, but I knew she didn't mean any of them. I wasn't going to leave her side no matter what she said.
I ran to her and had her in my arms again before she could even blink. I felt her naked body instantly relax in my arms. My touch alone had stopped her pain.
I wrapped my hand around her waist and lifted her leg. "This c**k belongs inside of you, Elizabeth", I whispered against her mouth. Then I positioned my hardness right at the entrance of her core again while holding her leg up. She was still so wet. If she was having any doubts about whether I wanted her, I was going to shut them all up right now.
She wrapped her hands around my neck and her hips instinctively started grinding against my hardness while I pushed myself upward to slowly penetrate her. I knew I had to be slow and gentle because this was her very first time. Orion and I could smell it on her. She had never been intimate with a man, even after all these years.
Her moans increased. "Mathew, please", she moaned desperately again. "f**k me, please". I immediately captured each of her moans in a deep and passionate kiss. Her desire for me to mate her was even making her use such crude language. I wanted to swallow every single crude word that left her lips.
I peppered her shoulders with gentle kisses while I slowly inched my hardness further inside of her. I wanted to be as gentle as I could with my Queen.
"I promise I'm going to f**k you, Elizabeth!", I groaned into her neck. "You're so f*****g tight and dripping wet". Her hips were still rocking up and down on my hardness, trying to take it all in with her wet folds. She looked down to see how I was still trying to fully penetrate her core. She looked up at me and seductively bit her lip while pulling me closer to her. I could tell she loved seeing what my hard c**k was doing to her.
"It's so big", she moaned while looking down at our connected bodies. "It's"...she bit her lip and looked up at me with tears in her eyes. "It's too big. It's too-"
"Don't worry", I reassured her and wiped a tear from her eye. "You can handle it. I'll be gentle since it's your first time, okay?"
She desperately nodded her head before crashing her lips against mine.
Her moans were getting more laboured and were filled with more cries. Her breaths increasingly got hitched in her throat as my c**k slowly inched even further inside of her. She was so f*****g wet, but since I'm bigger than average this would take some time; especially since it's her first time.
She dug her nails into my shoulders as her walls slowly expanded to take me in.
"f**k, Elizabeth", I groaned again. "f**k, how are you this wet for me? f**k!"
She c****d her head back and thrust herself a bit further down to take in more of my c**k. I couldn't believe how wet she was. I almost wished my mouth was back down there so I could taste her again.
I lifted her leg even higher to get better access to her entrance and lowered my head and whispered in her ear. "I am going to mate and mark you right here, Elizabeth." Another moan left her lips. "You're mine and you'll never leave me again." I started sucking and licking her mark spot again which now had a large red and purple hickey on it.
I lifted her other leg which was now shaking uncontrollably. I didn't want her to strain herself in this position since I am much taller than her. She was now almost straddling me while I held her firm butt cheecks in my hands. She weighed nothing, but my body was still under so much strain because I wanted so badly to thrust myself inside of her, but I couldn't do that. If I did that I might hurt her.
"Don't worry, my love", I groaned as my hands dug into her butt cheeks. "This entire c**k will be inside of you very soon. It will just take some getting used to, but you know you can take it all inside of you, right?"
She nodded her head before c*****g it back and arching her back even further for me.
"f**k, you're being such a good girl", I groaned at her.
I could feel her walls expanding even more and gripping my c**k as her juices encased it. She was rocking her hips gently, but I could tell she also knew we couldn't be as rough as we wanted to yet.
Orion was howling in my head at the sensations we were feeling all over our body and being so close to finally being completely inside of her and marking her as our own. He also didn't want to risk hurting her.
She suddenly jerked away from me again. This time she pushed herself away with so much more force than last time. Juices were dripping in between her thighs and her scent was dripping in desire and a desperate urge to be mated and marked by me. It was driving Orion and I into a frenzy.
Then she started uttering words that almost shattered my soul.
"I, Elizabeth Stronghold, reject you, Ma..."
I leaped into the air and got as far away from her as I possibly could before she could finish her sentence. I started running away from her so that she wouldn't be able to complete the rejection.
Orion ripped out of me and we ran in wolf form. He felt much bigger and faster than I remembered. The damn wolf ended up keeping his promise after all. He only shifted after we saw her.
When we got to the car, I shifted back into my human form and started driving away. I was not going to give her a chance to reject me. I know she's not my fated mate and I haven't mated and marked her so technically she's not even my chosen mate and can therefore not reject me. However, when I heard those words leave her beautiful luscious lips, every fibre in my body told me to get away so that she couldn't utter that formal rejection at me.
A few seconds more and I would have fully penetrated her sweet core. A portion of my hardness had already entered her. Just a few more seconds and I would have been mating her right this very second instead of being forced to drive away from her.
I called the trackers who were following her and told them to keep following her and guard their Queen with their lives. Orion and I weren't going to lose her again.
***
When we were some distance away from her, I checked my phone to follow up with the trackers, but I noticed hundreds of messages from Keyon and Jonathan.
I decided to call Keyon and he picked up on the first ring.
"Boss, you're not going to like this one bit", he said as soon as he picked up.
"What is it?"
"The Mother of Seers has been taken. I'm getting our warriors ready to go find her."
"f**k!", I yelled out. "How the hell did she get kidnapped?"
"It's a long story, boss. I think the witches have somehow realised the seat of the werewolf kingdom is not shielded like the rest of your territory. Of course, these are just my suspicions, boss. Alpha Jonathan says Luna Audrey was feeling uneasy about something. Apparently she could sense a vision trying to come to her, but some shadow was stopping her from seeing the vision."
We both remained quiet because we knew that Audrey's sight was probably being blocked by Keyon's abilities.
"Anyway", Keyon continued, "she went out into the royal garden to clear her head and she hasn't been seen since."
"Damnit!", I slammed my hand against the car's dashboard.
"The garden reeks of evil witches, boss. People are starting to talk. They're starting to ask why the witches would be brazen enough to attack where the king lives when their packs haven't encountered an evil witch in three years."
I steadied my breathing to try and think clearly. We've discovered that for some reason the entire Werewolf kingdom is shielded from evil magic, except for the seat of the kingdom; where I live. The seat of the kingdom is larger than the territory of the four biggest packs put together so there are a lot of people living there. Like me, they are not immune against the witches' magic. This, however, has been a very closely guarded secret that we were trying to figure out before all hell broke loose.
"If you can't make it, it's fine, boss", Keyon continued when I remained silent. "I can handle it, but Alpha Jonathan is walking around here mid-shift. The man looks ready to kill someone."
I hesitated before answering. Orion and I wanted to stay close to Elizabeth, but something was forcing her to reject us so we had to keep our distance in the meantime. The trackers were still following her and they had received an order to guard her at all cost.
Audrey on the other hand, well anyone who kidnaps a Mother of Seers is up to no good. Furthermore, I would need to investigate how evil witches were able to not only infiltrate the seat of the kingdom, but how they managed to kidnap the Mother of Seers. Audrey had guards watching her the whole time.
Orion, Elizabeth is safer here, I said to him in my head. She clearly wants us, but for whatever reason she's fighting her feelings for us. Let's go back to the palace and find Audrey. Elizabeth might have calmed down by the time we get back and hopefully she won't try to reject us again.
I was trying to reason with him, but this time if he insisted that we stay with Elizabeth I was going to stay. I learned my lesson last time that Orion could sense things I couldn't. I was going to listen to him no matter what he said.
She and Phoenix want us, he practically purred in my head. They love us just like we love them and also want to mate and mark us. Phoenix won't let Elizabeth run away from us again. We can go find Audrey.
Who's Phoenix?, I asked him.
Phoenix is her wolf's name, but she is so much more than just a wolf. She's also, well she's also a phoenix that's been blessed by the Sun Godess herself. Orion was chuckling in my head. I have never heard him this happy in my life.
Did you talk to Phoenix?
Yes, he answered me. She's incredibly strong; maybe even stronger than us, and she's filled with so much want and need for us. She said she'll make sure Elizabeth is with us again soon.
I chuckled. This meant Elizabeth somehow got a wolf in the past three years. If her wolf was anything like Orion, she would probably be in my bed in no time and I would be mating and marking her like there's no tomorrow.
Orion was practically rolling around in my head just thinking of all the things we just did to Elizabeth and Phoenix. I also felt lighter. I felt like I could finally breathe; like the tight string that has been constricting my heart all these years was suddenly cut loose.
Everything looked brighter and better. The world even smelled better. Something in me that had been dead all these years had sprung back to life.
Orion started flashing images in my mind of Elizabeth's naked body. We didn't get a chance to mark and mate her like we wanted to, but it was clear that would be happening soon.
"Keyon, I'll be there soon", I responded to him and hung up the phone.
*********************************************
Elizabeth's POV
Phoenix and I couldn't get enough of Mathew. The moment Phoenix saw him, I could feel a dire need in her to be held by him, to be loved by him. I felt the same urge and even though I was fighting to get take back control of my body, I agreed with everything she did.
She and I both knew our flames would never hurt Mathew. Our flames are a part of us and being held by Mathew only made them get bigger and stronger.
When Phoenix wrapped our legs around his torso and Mathew lifted us like we weighed nothing, she decided right there and then that we were going to mark and mate him.
He looked breathtaking. He looked taller and much more muscular than I remembered. He had a rugged short beard that drove Phoenix and I insane with want and need.
Every touch and every kiss left a trail of electricity on our body. Mathew's eyes were constantly shifting between green and blue to indicate that Orion wanted us just as much as he did.
It didn't take me long to take back control of my body. I too had decided that I was going to mark and mate him and this made Phoenix give the reigns back to me.
None of this was fair. I clearly wanted him and he wanted me too, so why the hell did we have to be apart again?
Every doubt I ever had about not being good enough for him instantly vanished the moment I saw him. I realised I was crazy to ever think I wasn't good enough to be his. I belonged with him and he belonged with me. Fated mates or not, I was going to claim what was mine.
I started thinking back to how I used to try my best to get him and Megan to stay together.
My memories started showing me all the signs I missed; all the signs of how unhappy he was with her. From the very first time I walked into his life, the man had been throwing me all kinds of signs that he liked me too, but my insecurities made me blind to them. For goodness sakes, when he found out he was a werewolf, he ran to me; only me. He kept telling me how relieved he was each time Megan broke up with him, but I was the one who kept forcing them back together even when he begged me not to do it. And I risked my life to go find him when he got taken by the witches. I would always risk my life for him.
When he roared "Mine"; Phoenix and I roared it back because that's what he is. He is ours and the time has come for the whole world to know it.
Endless bursts of electricty were exploding all over our bodies. All we could do was melt in his arms. We were going to mark and mate him and Orion.
It was only after I reached my second climax that I remembered what Azrah said.
It took every ounce of strength and willpower in me to jerk my body away from him. Phoenix was fighting me and trying to take back control. We felt hollow and cold after leaving his arms, but I couldn't lose focus. Azrah had told me that lives were at stake.
I tried my best to tell him I didn't want him, but he obviously didn't believe me. Every harsh word I said to him tasted like venom and broken glass in my mouth. The pain was ripping me apart.
When he held me again even after I told him I didn't want him, my naked body melted in his arms again. Then he lifted my leg and slowly pushed himself inside me. That's when I forgot about Azrah again.
My body wanted him. I even pleaded with him; not to stop, but to take me before I tried ripping myself from him again.
Each time he sucked on my mark spot, I felt drunk and overcome with desire. I even felt him grazing my marks pot with his k-nines just to tease me. Phoenix and I desperately wanted him to lunge his k-nines into our markspot and claim us.
Phoenix was howling in my head as she felt his hardness inch further and further inside me while he sucked on my marks pot. She threatened to just thrust us downwards to take him all in, but I couldn't do that. He was so big that I was afraid I wouldn't be able to take him all in. However, the more he inched further inside of me, stretching my walls as pain and pleasure overtook me, the more I realised no matter how big he was, he was created for me. It would take some getting used to, but I wanted him to fill me to the brim and touch places deep inside me that no one else would touch.
But then I saw those terrible things.
At first, I saw Audrey in some dark place. She had been captured by the witches and a man with long silver hair was towering over her. He was holding a knife made of ice and he was clearly going to hurt her. Then I heard that familiar icy cold voice I heard back in the Silver kingdom. "Where is the gem, Audrey?", I heard the voice say.
I knew that being with Mathew was causing this. I wanted to stop, but all I mustered to do was claw my nails into his back when he lifted my second leg so that I would be straddling him. The pleasure was blinding all rational thought.
Then I saw a man bleeding out on the ground. The man had been pierced with a silver blade and he wasn't healing. I could tell from his scent that he was a werewolf. Moreover, he was a royal werewolf. "It's Ken", I heard someone shouting, "he's not going to make it."
Then I realised Azrah's warning was no joke.
All these things were happening or were going to happen because I chose to defy her. I was putting my own selfish needs over the safety of others.
I gathered all my strength and ripped myself from his embrace. Phoenix was clawing and thrashing inside my head trying to take back control. She wanted him and she was fighting me to go back to him.
The moons on his arm were shining so bright; brighter than they've ever shone. It felt like they were pulling me to him; commanding me to be with him.
It was in that moment that I realised there was only one thing I could do to make Mathew leave. I had to formally reject him.
I knew he wasn't my mate, but I also knew he would leave to make sure I couldn't complete the rejection. If he didn't...if he didn't leave, I was going to stop my rejection midway because there was no way in hell that I was actually going to reject the man I love.
As expected, he left before I could finish the rejection. Phoenix kept clawing, roaring and thrashing in my head, trying to stop me from uttering those words. She didn't care that I wasn't actually going to do it, she didn't want to take that chance.
There was so much pain crippling my body. It felt like blades were trashing my insides. Like even thinking of rejecting Mathew was enough to kill me.
I couldn't withstand it anymore and found myself falling to my knees while writhing and trembling on the ground.
I saw Orion rip out of Mathew and marvelled at how big he had gotten. I thought Phoenix was the biggest wolf I have ever seen, but Orion was clearly bigger.
Despite lying on the floor from the pain ripping my insides apart, Phoenix was still roaring and trying to go after Orion. I didn't have the strength to do that though. The pain was all I could see now.
I was still lying on the floor when I saw a new set of flames forming a path. I knew that these flames were like the golden path; I would be the only one who could see them. The flames were beckoning me to follow them immediately, but I could hardly stand up.
I felt Mike's hands putting my head on his knees while he covered my naked body with his shirt.
"It's okay, Liz", I heard him comforting me and brushing my hair.
"Mike", I managed to say through the pain, "there's a path. We need to go right now." My voice was barely a whisper, but I knew his werewolf hearing would enable him to hear me.
"You need to rest first, Liz. You're not strong enough to go anywhere right now."
"No!", I said as loud as I could. " Someone is about to die; someone important. We need to go."
I felt him pick me up bridal style, put me in the passenger seat of the car and strap on my seat belt. Then I felt the car moving.
I was struggling to keep my eyes open. My whole body wanted to succumb to the darkness.
"Faster, Mike, he's going to die if we don't get there in time. Ken is going to die."
