Valeria POV
A soft kiss on my collarbone woke me up, and I smiled with my eyes still closed.
Tyson gently bit down on my mark and my hands wandered across his chiseled chest while he trailed kisses down to my right n*pple and circled it with his tongue.
“Good morning.” I smiled.
Tyson looked up and smiled too.
“Oh, it’s a good morning alright.” He said. “I can’t believe I’m so lucky that I wake up every morning and have a sexy goddess within my reach, just like this.”
His hand trailed up my stomach and cupped my breast.
“Well you could make the morning even better and explore said goddess if you’d like.” I winked.
Tyson laughed.
“With pleasure.” He replied before taking my n*pple in his mouth again, slowly pushing the covers away and trailing kisses down to the hem of my panties.
Sparks fired up my torso and down my legs as Tyson pulled my panties down my legs and I gasped when he bent down and circled my clit with his tongue.
I fisted the sheet in my hands when Tyson pushed my legs further apart, working me into a frenzy with every flick of his tongue. The pleasure made my whole body tingle and Willow purred in content in my head.
Tyson pushed his finger inside me and rubbed my G-spot, and I felt the orgasm build inside me. My breathing picked up and I lost myself in the pleasure until I was sent over the edge.
That’s when all went wrong.
My powers slipped out before I could stop them, and we both jumped out of the bed at the sight of the small yellow flames rising from the sheets.
I stared at the flames in shock while Tyson sprung to action, ran over to a vase in the window, pulled the flowers out of it and poured the water onto the bed, putting out the fire before it could grow and spread further.
“What happened?” He panted.
I looked down at my shaky hands.
“I don’t understand.” I mumbled. “I’m not in heat anymore. I should have been able to stop them.”
I looked up in confusion when Tyson started laughing.
“You really know how to spice up our s*x life.” He chuckled.
“This isn’t funny.” I muttered. “I can’t believe that this doesn’t scare you. I could have hurt you.”
Tyson wrapped his arms around my waist and pulled me to himself.
“You could burn me to ash, and I would still love you.” He whispered in my ear. “And even then I won’t be afraid of you.”
I raised an eyebrow.
“Being burned alive is like the worst possible way to die.” I replied. “That’s kind of my worst fear or something.”
Tyson grimaced.
“Yeah, I would appreciate it if you didn’t set me on fire.” He said, making me smile. “But I wouldn’t blame you if something happened.”
“You’re too kind.” I muttered and stepped away from him.
I walked over to the closet and pulled out a robe while there was a knock at the door and three Omegas walked in. They stared in confusion at the burned sheets and I smiled sheepishly while they started changing the sheets.
“So what do you need to get your powers back in balance?” Tyson asked.
I shrugged.
“I don’t know.” I replied. “I haven’t been this out of control since I got my powers when I was eight.”
“What did you do last time?” Tyson asked.
“Well, the masters locked me in a steel box and didn’t let me out until I had gotten the hang of it.” I grimaced.
“Well, that’s out of the question.” Tyson muttered and a low growl rumbled in his throat.
“At least that way I wouldn’t be able to hurt anybody.” I retorted and gestured to the Omegas changing the sheets on the bed.
“I don’t care.” Tyson replied. “There must be another way.”
“I guess I have to go back to basics.” I said. “Practice, practice and some more practice.”
Tyson nodded.
“I just don’t know how I will have time for it all.” I continued. “I already have my plate full with the queen duties and the lessons with Fiona.”
“I think my mother would understand if you needed to slow down a bit.” Tyson replied. “And maybe you could get an assistant? Someone who could help you study and keep track of your schedule.”
I thought about it for a moment.
“That’s actually a really good idea.” I replied after a while. “I just don’t know who that would be.”
Tyson shrugged.
“Maybe reach out to the staff department.” He said. “They might be able to give you a few candidates to choose from.”
He walked up to me and kissed my forehead.
“But today, we have some other business to attend to.” He said. “We’re going to Grey Moon pack.”
Excitement to go see my father’s old pack took over the concern I felt for my powers and I smiled at Tyson, who started getting dressed while the Omegas picked up the sheets and left the room.
“I have some things to take care of.” He said. “But you can have the morning off until we’re leaving. Meet us out by the cars at ten o’clock.”
I nodded and he gave me a brief kiss before leaving the bedroom.
After dressing in some workout gear, I decided to let Willow out for a run. I jogged out of the castle and into the forest. When I had checked that there wasn’t anyone around, I took off my clothes and let Willow have control.
It was still really weird to not be in control of your own body, but Willow was very gentle with me and I started to feel like I had gotten the hang of the shifting part of being a lycan.
Willow sprinted through the forest and I sat back watching the beautiful nature. I could feel that Willow was concerned about how easily we lost control of the powers that I now shared with her, and it felt like she needed the run just as much as I did.
I got back to where I had left my clothes and got dressed before heading back to the castle to find the head Omega Claire and ask her for some breakfast.
I politely said hi to a group of gardeners that I passed before walking through the front doors and making my way to the kitchen.
“Valeria.”
I stopped and turned when I heard someone calling my name, and I almost groaned out loud when I saw Lizette running up to me.
“Good morning, Lizette.” I said flatly. “What can I do for you?”
Lizette shrugged.
“I just wanted to see how you were doing.” She replied. “You’ve been queen for a while now. How are you liking it?”
I almost wanted to laugh.
“I’m… good.” I replied and started walking again. “Why do you ask?”
“Rumor has it that you are looking for an assistant.” She said.
I stopped and was just about to ask how she knew that when I realized that the Omegas changing the sheets must have overheard me and Tyson talking about it and told Lizette.
“So?” I frowned.
“I would like to volunteer.” Lizette said sweetly. “You could really use a friend right now, Valeria.”
I almost wanted to laugh at how absurd she sounded. Why would I want to put my faith in my mate’s ex-girlfriend that I once caught trash talking behind my back?
It was a miracle that she didn’t realize that herself.
“I… umm-” I stammered and scratched the back of my head awkwardly. “I’ll think about it.”
Before Lizette could reply, I started walking again, shaking my head in disbelief at her weird behavior.
She had seemed to accept that Tyson had claimed me as his mate, but I still couldn’t trust her.
Especially when I had such a strong feeling that she had an ulterior motive.
