Chapter 10: Chapter nine

~Lucian~

“Your mother wishes to speak with you,” my wolf said, waking me up from my deep slumber. With small Tessa in my arms, I cursed my mother for wanting to see me at such a bad time. But I had to see her because she didn’t ask to see me often.

I slipped from Tessa’s small arms and tucked her in so she wouldn’t get cold. I gave her a quick kiss on the head and pulled on my running shorts and shoes.

Once I’d made it to the forest behind the house, I sprinted to the lake where my mother usually met me. The moon was half tonight, and I quickened my speed due to the unbearable feeling of leaving Tessa alone.

My mother was there already and was looking as beautiful as usual. Her long white dress fell to the floor, covering her bare feet and her hair was tied into a magnificent bun of patterns on the top of her head.

Her body was covered in the usual light blue haze and her grey eyes looked at me with pride. She stood up from the flat rock that she’d been sitting on and walked gracefully towards me.

“Lucian.” She breathed and wrapped her delicate arms around me. I hugged her and she gave me a kiss on the cheek.

“We miss you back at the Castle.” She said and I gave her a smile as we started to walk along the lake.

“I know. But unfortunately, I have a mate now. You should know. You’re the one who chose her.” I said, and she smirked, looking at me from the corner of her eyes.

“She’s something isn’t she?” My mother said, standing tall to show the pride she felt for herself.

“She’s really nice mom, but I’d let to get to know her some more,” I said.

“Well, after the activities that you two have been doing, I’d like to put in my wish for grandpups before your father does.” She said and I mentally face-palmed.

“How is dad anyway?” I said and my mom’s features turned slightly sour.

“He’s fine. He is sending a messenger to you soon. He wishes to see you.”

I scowled. I didn’t want my father in my life let alone meeting my new mate.

“Does he know?” I said and she signed.

“Of course, he knows Lucian. Your father is very powerful in the magical Kingdom. He has people everywhere.”

I nodded and my mother stopped walking as her eyes clouded over.

“They need me back at the Castle. Sorry my visit was so short.” She said and I nodded.

My mother was the moon goddess herself. The mother to all wolves. My mother dated my father who was—

“Mate is awake, and she seeks your presence,” my wolf said, and I kissed my mother’s cheek, watching as the blue haze simmered and she faded into tiny shiny specks. The forest was darker now and I felt the slight feeling of longing and realized it was my mate’s emotions that ran through me.

I removed my shorts and shoes, shifting into my wolf. We ran swiftly through the thick trees and dodged the pointed rocks that lined the lake.

The sun’s golden rays just started peeking up over the mountains which cast beams of gold and red into the sky.

The lights of the pack house shone in the distance and with my wolf hearing, I heard the chatter and clatter of dishes in the kitchen. The strong smell of food made both me and my wolf growl in hunger.

I shifted back into human form, put my shorts back on, and ran the rest of the way home.

Coming through the back door that was in the kitchen, I had to force myself not to devour anything before seeing my beautiful mate.

I rushed up the stairs and ran to the far wing of the house that was the quietest part of the loud building.

I opened the door and there sat my mate, crossed legged with a bowl of berries, locked into the movie that played on the TV mounted on the opposite wall.

She obviously didn’t see me, and I noticed that she’d knotted her hair into a messy bun on the top of her head.

I took a step towards her and her head snapped to me.

I took a sharp intake of breath at the sight of her beautiful cheeks slightly flushed and her eyes shining with something unfamiliar.

She smiled softly and went back to eating the berries and watching the movie.

“What you watching?” I said walking over to the bed.

I climbed in next to her and her body became imbalanced due to the indentation I made in the mattress.

“It’s some series involving werewolves,” she murmured, her eyes glued to the screen. I watched her in fascination as her eyes would occasionally dart around the screen.

I placed my head in the crook of her neck and began placing soft kisses down her collarbone. I felt the pleasurable goosebumps form on the surface of her soft skin.

“Lucian. What are you—oh,” she said as I kissed the path between her breasts. Her nightdress had a deep front which gave me enough access.

I continued placing kisses over her neck which grabbing the remote and switching the TV off, sending the room into darkness.

I placed the bowl of berries onto the side table and I brought Tessa up to the pillows.

Her breathing was already uneven, and I climbed in between her legs. The smooth skin grazed mine and I felt the tension in my shorts.

I kissed her lips gently and she whimpered at the soft touch. My hand trailed softly up the length of her thigh, bunching the silky fabric, and forcing myself to be gentle.

I brought the dress over her head, exposing all the bare skin beneath. I kissed her neck and slowly started my descent down her bare chest.

I teased the eager buds that instantly formed in my hand and smelt the arousal grow from Tessa.

I nibbled gently and Tessa arched her back, tugging and pulling my hair gently.

Everything right now was meant to be slow and gentle, wanting to give my mate all the pleasure I could in as many ways as I could.

I started on her tummy and I heard her whisper my name in a plea.

Continuing my tortuous descent, I reached her mound and spread her legs open so I could get the best of everything.

Her entrance was so wet, and I had to stop myself from driving into her like a wild animal.

I licked her tender spot and heard her sharp intake of breath. I flicked around with my tongue and her hips raised. Her moans and ragged breath only worsened the ache in my shorts.

I then stuck my tongue into her hot wetness, and she cried out.

“That’s it, Tessa. Let it go.” I growled.

Her toes curled and she finally went limp as her juices all came out and rolling onto my tongue. I cleaned her up with the tip of my tongue and licked my lips, tasting the sweetness of her purity in my mouth.

She lay there, as limp as she had the night before, on cloud nine and let out the sexiest laugh I’d ever heard and I groaned, laying face into the pillow.
