Fall Asleep
Quinlan’s p.o.v.
I am glad this is over and that we can head back to the Palace. One more night in a hotel and then I can sleep in my own bed again.
“With our Mate by our side.” Brogan growls softly. We have been feeling the tingles for the past hour or so and each time I feel them, I want to toss her over my shoulder and make a run for it.
Brogan has been quiet from time to time and at some point, I could hardly feel his presence. He hasn’t answered my question as to his whereabouts, but I know he couldn’t have gone that far.
Once I have marked Larissa, he can go to spend time with Leia if he wants to. This means that, at the moment, he can only connect with our parents‘ Shifters and, if he is lucky, with Charna.
“I’ll be staying with Dave and Benton, make it a boy’s night.” Everett says as we arrive on the hotel’s top floor.
“How did you manage to get that message across? It will take a few more months before he turns seventeen.” I ask Brogan, but I get my answer when I see Dallas wiggling her eyebrows at me.
We are guided to the suite that is farthest away from the others and I know that none of them expect to see us again until breakfast. I am going to spend as much time as I can with my Mate, even if it means missing a few meals.
I close and lock the door behind me, while my eyes follow Larissa as she walks through the suite’s living room. Brogan growls softly in my head as she takes the hair clip out of her hair, allowing it to cascade down her back.
I wrap my arms around her waist from behind and pull her closer to my chest as I bury my nose in her hair. Looking toward the window, I see our reflection and can’t help but smile at the image.
“Larissa, I will always be by your side. I will never let anyone get away with disrespecting you. You are my Mate and I will always love you.” I say to Larissa. I hear her heart skip a beat as she turns her head to face me and I lower my head to kiss her.
“Thank you for saving me, for accepting me for who I am. I will help you in any way I can, whether it is with your future duties as our King or as a parent. I love you, Quinlan.” Larissa responds as I deepen the kiss, our tongues are dancing a sensual dance
Larissa can feel the bulge in my jeans. I let out a groan when I feel her hand on my bulge and my eyes
close on their own accord as she slowly moves her hand up and down. I gently push my hips toward her
hand, causing more pressure on my hard–on.
She squeezes it now and then and my breathing hitches every single time. My hands have a mind of their own as they roam over her body; it seems as if they try to cover every inch of our Mate.

We remove each other’s clothing and toss them across the room, not caring where they might end walk her backwards to the bed and I gently push her onto it. I bend at the knees while I slowly spread her
- up. I
legs and lower my head to her core.
I softly blow on her clit and a shiver runs down her body. I lower my head until my tongue connects with her little bud and she almost jolts of the bed. I start sucking it into my mouth and Larissa moans loudly at the sensation.
After a few minutes, I push a finger into her pussy as I keep licking and sucking her clit. Hearing her moan and telling me to move faster is heaven. I slide my finger in and out of her faster, adding a second finger as her body starts writhing at my assault.
She starts pushing her pelvis up and I really pound my fingers into her pussy now. She is so soaking wet that they slide in, nice and easy.
Brogan pushes forward and starts to move our fingers in and out, hard and fast. I can feel her body tense and I realize she is on the verge of coming. She screams her release as I push her over the edge.
“I love the look on your face when you come undone, Sweetness.” I say as I hold her tight and eventually she slowly drifts off to sleep.
I wake to a tingly sensation on my chest and it takes me a second to remember. Our bond has formed and today I will get to mark her and that on a Full Moon.
“Open your eyes, Sweetness.” I say when I realize that she has woken up.
Brogan is close to the surface, and I know from my education that mating with a Shifter in control or near the surface is usually intense and quick. I spread her legs to give us better access and she pulls her knees a little closer to her chest.
“Good Girl,” Brogan growls as we move between them. I guide my cock to her entrance, while her eyes follow my movements. I see her pussy juices start flowing and I can’t stop the soft growl from escaping my lips.
“This might hurt a little, but only for a second, Sweetness.” I whisper before I slam my cock in her core and I hold still to let her body adjust to the intrusion.
She starts pushing up her hips and she matches my speed with every thrust, faster and faster. Our
breathing is labored and I feel her muscles contract around my cock, making it difficult to push into her
core at times.
Her hands slide up her own body and I can’t help but follow their path with my eyes until she cups them
to squeeze her nipples between thumb and index finger. Her hips push up every time she pinches her
nipples and at the realization she likes a little pain with her pleasure, I lean down.
I latch on to one of her nipples with my lips, sucking it into my mouth and gently nipping it with my
2/4
teeth, her hips push up again. For a few minutes, I switch between her breasts, sucking them in and nibbling them with my teeth. Her hips slamming up, over and over.
I feel my canines elongate the closer I get to coming and I kiss my way up to her neck. I keep thrusting into her core, harder and faster. I bite down on her sensitive skin, marking her as mine when I feel my cock start to twitch.
The second I feel her pierce through my skin, I come inside her and that pushes her over the edge as well.
I let myself drop next to her and I pull her in to my body, nuzzling her neck.
“You are mine, Sweetness. You are all mine.” I tell her before we both fall asleep, once again.
Bottled Up
Larissa’s p.o.v.
I wake up with a very sated feeling, a feeling that doesn’t just come from myself. Leia has enjoyed our time with our Mates as much as I did and she is fast asleep in the back of my head..
Quinlan is softly snoring when I feel someone gently pushing against the block I put up on my mind–link.
“Is it safe to bring some breakfast into the suite?” Dallas asks when I have lowered the block.
“Yeah, we are in our bedroom. Make sure you keep it quiet, Quinlan is still sleeping.” I answer her and pull up the block again.
I want to enjoy this for a bit longer and give myself a chance to grasp the consequences of my current situation. I don’t think it has sunk in yet, and I would rather panic in the privacy of my bedroom.
All I have learned about the true Mate–bond and the connection to finding a true Mate–bond has come from reading books. No one ever took the time to teach me; to them, I was a nuisance and not worthy of their time and attention.
I will be forever grateful that Caitlin had the chance to teach me to read and write, because if she hadn’t, I would have never known any of this.
Four days ago, I found my connection with Quinlan and left my family and Pack without a second of regret. Now, I am marked by our future King and I have a future ahead of me that I had never thought possible.
I am not talking about becoming the Queen, but finding a man who loves me for me and doesn’t hold my deafness against me.
Having a family who will do whatever it takes to make me feel a part of that family, a baby Brother who makes me feel loved. Everything I never had was handed to me when I found Quinlan and I will never
regret turning my back on my family.
“What is wrong, Sweetness? Why are you crying?” I hear Quinlan ask and I realize that I have been crying, but these aren’t sad or angry tears.
“Nothing is wrong, I just realized how lucky I am to have you and your family in my life.” I answer him as I wipe away the tears.
We stay in bed a little longer, but then Quinlan’s stomach decides to inform us it is time to eat. It is nice to have breakfast with Quinlan, and I enjoy being seated on his lap while we share breakfast with each
other.
After taking a shower and getting dressed, we walk around the suite to gather our clothes from the previous day. I place everything in the suitcase and pull it with me as we walk out of the suite, looking to
1/4
find the rest of the family.
I get jumped by Everett as we walk down the hall. He lifts me in the air and starts spinning me around.
“It is official. I have a Sister.” He says through the mind–link and the chuckles from down the hall tell me
that it was open to everyone.
Quinlan has grabbed the suitcase and moved down the hall to get pulled into a hug by his Mother.
“Congratulations. I am so happy for both of you.” I hear Queen Eliza say and from the corner of my eye, I see Majandra standing near the elevator.
Life is so much easier for me with her or one of the other two by my side. I no longer have to worry about missing anything.
“Larissa, you’d better lose the titles. Our first names will do and once you are comfortable with it, I suggest you call us Mom and Dad.” I hear King Vaughn… No, Vaughn… No, that sounds ridiculous. I suppose it will be Dad from now on.
“What are you smiling about, Sweetness?” I hear Quinlan ask and I explain what had shot through my
mind.
Dallas swings her hand to the left and hits Darius full in his chest. I have no idea what he did to deserve
it, but if Dallas figures she needs to do it, then you definitely deserved it.
“What did I do?” I hear Darus ask. “I was only kidding when I said she could call me Your Highness.”
This time, it isn’t just Dallas who smacks him; even Daxton takes a swing at him. Not hard enough to knock him out, but still. Getting hit by two Lycans at the time isn’t a picnic either.
“Let’s call him Your Highness until he is sick and tired of it.” Leia says as we walk into the elevator and I know she will remind me of it every single time.
I lean against Quinlan’s chest as we ride down and I know I will love this man until my last breath.
Together, we will start a family and one day take over the Throne.
The drive to the Palace passes quickly because I had fallen asleep and Quinlan woke me up only minutes
before arriving. I can’t wait to go for a run through the forest in my Wolf form. It looks so inviting and
huge.
“Your Majesty, welcome back.” I hear a woman say as Quinlan helps me out of the SUV. She frowns at me
as she sees that Quinlan is holding my hand, but I just give her a small smile.
“Elder Dawn, where is Elder Venetia? I asked for her presence when we arrived at the gate.” I hear Dad ask and for a moment, I see her demeanor change.
“She is busy with the Servants and has been neglecting her duties a little.” I hear Elder Dawn respond, but
2/4
something tells me not to trust a word she says. Quinlan told me a few things about her and it didn’t give. me a good impression of her.
“Dallas, can you link Elder Venetia? I doubt anyone gave her the message.” I ask Dallas through the mind link.
I don’t know why the message never got to Elder Venetia, but if she is anything like Caitlin, she would have been here. This isn’t sitting right with me and Leia; we need to keep an eye on the Elders and determine if they work for or against the Royal family.
“Your Majesty, I am so sorry I wasn’t here to greet you. Somehow, the Warriors at the gate didn’t inform me of your arrival.” I hear Elder Venetia say.
There is no doubt in my mind that this is Elder Venetia, because she looks so much like Caitlin. I throw protocol out of the window when I spot the only Shifter who ever cared about me as a child.
I run into Caitlin’s open arms and let the tears flow that I bottled up inside for all those years.
