Convincing The Luna Queen

Chapter2

Athena

Life in the Monroe family is far from the mundane. Yes I am a werewolf and I live in the Blood River Pack with my father. No siblings, no mother, just the two of us. Plus a whole pack house full of wolves but whatever.

Did I mention that my father is the Alpha King? Well, there’s that. Which makes me the sole heir to his throne. No pressure, right?

I never cared about being royalty and I certainly didn’t ask for my mother to die. It’s been fifteen years, yet I still miss her and think about her every single day. I will be queen one day, just like she was.

The Blood River Pack is situated on the edge of a rainforest, hidden by magic from the humans. The lands are surrounded by gigantic iron and silver walls, it feels like a scene from Prison Break. A bright red river flows through the lands and it is said that anyone who touches the red liquid will perish. Except of course, for one almighty hero, yada yada yada. Sounds like a whole load of dog turds if you ask me.

There have been rumours in the past that some have jumped into the river and died but I won’t believe it until I see it. In my whole twenty years of existence, no one has ever touched the river.

My cousin Apollo will be my Beta one day. Our mums were identical twins, Rhea and Ruby. Sometimes I wonder why my mum had to die and why it couldn’t have been Ruby? Disgustingly selfish of me I know, but I just want my mum back.

Apollo has never wanted to be the Alpha of the pack and pledged his allegiance to me. I guess there will be no House of the Dragon style fighting for the throne. Makes my life easier I guess.

My father once caught me frolicking and experimenting with a boy when I was younger. He is a firm believer of waiting for your fated mate and forbade me from entertaining the opposite gender until I find my mate. Chastity belt much? How am I supposed to satisfy my future Alpha if I have no idea what I’m doing?

“What in the name of the Goddess are you thinking about?” Alice flips the sheet off her head and appears between my legs.

Now, father never said I couldn’t entertain females. I found the loophole so technically I am not going against his wishes. Alice is employed as my servant, she is of omega blood but that never mattered to me. Father chose her out of a whole group of young omega girls and she has vowed to always obey me. Over the years we became close friends and now we spend time in bed together. It’s not romance, it’s just two women enjoying each other between the sheets. Kissing is not an option though, I’m saving that experience for my mate.

I sigh in frustration and close my eyes. “I’m thinking about the stupid ball next week.”

“Do you think you will find your mate this time?” She whispers sadly.

My eyes snap to hers and she looks away, avoiding my gaze. “It’s highly unlikely. This will be the third ball since I turned eighteen and got my wolf Anika. Surely I would have met my mate by now. Maybe he lives in another country or something.” I wonder out loud.

Alice knows our agreement. As soon as one of us finds our mate, this arrangement between us will immediately cease to exist. No one knows about us so it’s the perfect plan.

“Yeah, maybe.” She sounds upset. She knows the day will come someday, she isn’t allowed to be upset about it. We agreed.

“Let me get out of my head. Want me to do that thing you like?” I attempt to change the subject.

“Ok.” She smiles before jumping out of my bed and heading towards the safe in my walk in robe to collect her favourite vibrator.

I admire the perfect hourglass shape of her hips and her toned ass. We work out every day so it’s only normal that we both look the way we do. Alice is a plain Jane by normal standards, mousy brown hair and brown eyes. She intentionally doesn’t stand out in a crowd but she is beautiful to me. I love her as my friend and occasionally I find myself hoping I don’t find my mate any time soon incase I lose Alice in the process.

She struts her stuff back to my bed with a wicked smile on her face, pink vibrator in hand. Positioning herself next to me, she places the vibrator in my partially opened mouth. I suck on it before throwing the sheet over my head.

“My turn.” I announce as I turn it on and place it exactly where she likes it. She moans loudly and all I can think is that we are lucky these walls are soundproof.
