The hidden Lycian Princess

Episode 5

*Gabriella’s POV*

We continue walking, and I need to make a choice. I know I can’t expect the others to protect me if we get ambushed! So do I run or stay and fight? Do I even know how to fight? Or stand a chance in a fight?! I hear Roxy chuckle in my head “what?” I ask her, frustrated that she thinks my dilemma is amusing.

“Well, silly, you can fight. Let me take over, and I will fight. Remember, we are a team!” I huff in frustration “why didn't you say so then?” Roxy sighs “you don't ask, and you don't let me take over. I could have done more this morning, but you only let me make us bigger. We are Lycian and can take down a few puny wolves.” I go quiet because Roxy is right. I have been pushing her back because I get scared, but I should trust her because we are one, so I nod, “okay, I will let you come forward; sorry for holding you back; I get scared.” I say, hoping she understands.

I catch up to Marco and walk beside him. He looks over at me, and I feel safe. It is hard to believe that I feel so connected to him. Is it the mate bond, or is that all myths? How can a person be so attracted to someone so fast? I try to fight it and slow things down, but I crave his touch and want to be near him! Being a Lycian is confusing, but now I feel whole. Who can I talk to about this without sounding completely insane??

I push the thoughts out of my head and continue to walk; then, I feel Roxy move forward “wolves” is all she says, and I let her take over. My senses become heightened, and I notice Marco walking closer to me and his hairs stand up.

I hear branches breaking from my right, and that's when I see five black wolves approaching us.

They have foam dripping from their mouths, and they are watching my every move.

Marco lets out a growl as a warning, but that doesn't stop the advances towards me. Then everything turns into a blur. I feel myself move and fur flying everywhere.

When it's over, Roxy lets me have control, and I see the wolves lying dead on the ground. I look at the others, dripping in blood and looking at me.

Marco shifts back into his human form and walks towards me. So I change also met him halfway. He checks me for injuries, then kisses my forehead “it's about time you became one with your Lycian,” he whispers as he embraces me. I lean into his hug and then notice the blood on my hands. “I need to get clean,” I say, trying to sound unfazed by the fight, and he looks down at me and grins “when we get to the Lycian kingdom, you can clean up. We are not out of danger yet”, he says brushing a stray hair behind my ear.

I look over at Sara and Ashton, then back at Marco. “we will run the rest of the way, and Sara will be on my back,” I say, not knowing where it came from.

And Marco smiles “we are less than 5 miles from the border, so we can do that” I look over at Sara “are you okay with riding a wolf?” I ask, and she begins to nod “yes, I am more than ready to ride a wolf, especially yours.”

She walks over to me and hugs me, then steps back “it's not fair, you know, Gabs, not only are you gorgeous in human form, but you have a stunning wolf,” I chuckle and shake my head. “Nah, you are the gorgeous one, Sara. Now, doesn't get any ideas; I won't be your pet.” Sara begins to chuckle, then frowns “but I always wanted a big dog for a pet,” she says with a pout, and I shake my head, then shift and let Roxy take over. Roxy allows Sara to climb on then we begin to grow and begin to run ahead

Sara wraps her arms around my neck to hold on so she doesn't fall off; Marco and Ashton run beside me until we get to a border. I come to a stop. Let Sara climb off my back when I see men in black armour standing by the trees. I know they are my parent's men by the emblems on the suits. When they see Marco, they bow to him and look at me questioningly.

Then I see My parents walk out of the forest and come to me with tears in their eyes, and I change back into my human shape and run into their arms. I know now. I am safe from the dangers while with them, and I have time to learn what I am supposed to do and hopefully save my parent's kingdom.

“Come, Gabriella, let's get you home,” my mother says, and I look back at Ashton and Sara and then back to my parents. “I want Ashton and Sara to come with us. We need them to bridge the gap between us all,” I say, hoping my parents let them into the kingdom.

My mother smiles at me and nods “they are welcome to come, Gabriella. We know how important they are to you.”

My mum ushered us into the kingdom, and Marco took my hand. “I have to see my father,” he says, and I frown. Something inside me doesn't want him to leave, so I shake my head “no, stay.”

I plead, and he smiles and points over my shoulder “gab, I am not leaving you. My father is right there” he gently tugs on my hand and walks me to his dad, who looks at me with a smile then embraces me “welcome back princess and welcome to the kingdom you being Marco’s mate brings our domains together, and we stand with you.” he kisses both of my cheeks. I'm left stunned by his actions.

Marco begins to chuckle, then takes me into his arms “it's okay, Gab, It is what we do with family, and now we plan how to win the war.

*Marco’s POV*

Seeing Gabriella go red was amusing. I know she isn't custom to such affections or traditions, but I am sure she will learn fast.

But how did my dad know we were mates? I look at him, confused, and he laughs. “Danu does beautiful things, son, and she has both crests on her wolf, as do you meaning you were both blessed by Danu at birth.”

I smile at my father, knowing he is right. “I am going back with Gabriella”, I say, and my father nods. “I would expect nothing less. We will see you in a few days” my dad pats my arm, then smiles down at Gabriella then walks away.

And we walk silently to the castle, not knowing what lies ahead, but I all sure after the battle today, we have more than the dangers of wolves waiting for us.

We reach the castle and enter through the secret tunnels “we can't let the others see Gabriella yet”, her mother says, and I nod, knowing that we don't have much time to teach Gabriella how to be a Lycian and all the royal protocol. Gabriella grabs her mother's hand and pulls her back. “I need training, don't I?” she asks, and I chuckle “that is where I come in. I will train you to fight and harness your ability while your mother will teach you how to be a princess,” I hear Sara gasp. And Ashton chuckled, “and you two are going to be with her.” I say as we continue walking. I can see Gabriella thinking of what lays ahead of her, and I lean in and whisper, “and we have to seal our mate bond before any of that happens” Gabriella looks at me and licks her lips

Then nods “and how exactly do we do that,” she asks me, and I grin “well, how do you think?” I watch her eyes widen, then she goes red, then looks back into my eyes and smirks “well, you will have to work for that”, she says as she catches up to her mother. I look back at Ashton, who is smiling back at me and mouthed the words “good luck” something tells me Gabriella isn't going to be the submissive type, and I am going to have to work for it.

When we get back to the castle, we are taken to our rooms, and I get my clothes out of the backpack. I noticed Gabriella had already gone to the bathroom and closed the door. I chuckle and take my clothes off, then walk to the bathroom and open the door.

I stand there and watch her shower taking in her perky breast and perfect arse. She lets out a yelp when she sees me starting, then looks down at my manhood and then slowly back up to my eyes.

I take a step forward and get under the water with her.

My mouth crashes against her, our tongues exploring each other's mouths, and finally, my hands get to explore every inch of her body, aching to have her officially as mine.

So I waste no time. I am picking Gabriella up and pressing her against the cold tiles. Gabriella clings onto its shoulders and lets out a small gasp, then wraps her legs around my waist, rocking her hips against mine; I move her to the seat and gently sit her down.

Moving my hand between us to her p***y, making sure she is ready for me, I kiss down her neck while earning small gasps from her, and when I get to her breasts, I lace my tongue around her n****e, then move to the next slowly teasing her as I go down.

When I reach her apex, I look up at Gabriella, who is watching me finger her p***y, and I nearly hold myself together. I lean back on my knees and take in the sight of my mate in front of me, watching my fingers work their way in and out of her the way her p***y wants more I insert another finger, then lean in and take her tiny bundle of nerves into my mouth while f*****g her with my fingers when she cums I work my fingers faster than I line myself up to her entrance and look down at Gabriella who nods. I enter her. I nearly lose control. Her walls pull my c**k in deeper I lean down and kiss Gabriella, letting her adjust to my size, then begin to move slowly.

She holds on to my shoulders, and I feel her o****m getting closer. She leans in and bites my shoulder, and I begin to see stars and then watch her fall. over the edge of ecstasy. I follow after she makes my mark on her, then licking it, so it heals.

When we come back to our senses, I take the time to clean Gabriella off then carry her to the bed, where we spent the rest of the night exploring each other bodies and falling asleep in each other's arms right where we belong.
