Clara's POV
The fairies vanished through the moonlight, and we both faced the crowd. The guests and our pack members keep on barking and howling. Erik held my hand tightly and looked at me, smiling. Something went out of my body, and it was Evangeline. Everyone was shocked, surprised that someone was inside of me.
She faced the both of us smiling and then faced the crowd. She was standing in the air, where all could see her. "I am Evangeline," She said, using her most authoritative voice. Everyone whined and then bowed to our goddess.
"It seems that the fairies took a liking to our Queen," She said, looking at me proudly. I felt embarrassed by the way she looked at me. "Always keep your head high. You are now a Queen," She whispered, winking at me.
The moon goddess faced the crowd, "Everyone who gathered here today, I, the mother of all, the moon goddess, Evangeline, at this moment I announce to you, The King and Queen of werewolves. Let's all celebrate not because of the newly born rulers. Let's also celebrate that your Queen is my only vessel," She shouted. After she announced and told everyone about her speech, she glanced back at us.
"King and Queen, receive my blessings," She ordered. Erik and I crouched on one knee and bowed to her. I felt something go inside me, and I felt some power coursing through my veins. I looked at both of my arms and looked at Evangeline. "Lead them well," She said and vanished.
Confused at what we were feeling, we faced the crowd who kept on howling, and we raised our hands to hold each other. Everyone crouched down and bowed to us. Tia casts a spell, and some speck of gold falls from the air. Vincent went to the altar, fixed his suit, and faced the crowd. "Mr. and Mrs. Smith, our King and Queen, everybody!" He shouted. The pack ran wild while the others were barking and howling. We looked at them with our heads held high, facing them with total confidence.
Erik's POV
The wedding and the coronation were a blast. I woke up still feeling the effect of last night's drinking. I tried sitting down on the bed, then suddenly my head hurt, and I felt dizzy.
"What a hangover!" Someone said. I looked at the woman talking and saw my beautiful mate smiling at me while lying on the bed. I smiled back at her and crouched down to kiss her.
"Good morning," I greeted. She flashed me her sweetest smile. "Good morning to you too," She said while getting up. My eyes followed her, watching every move she made. "What are your plans for today?" I asked.
"Nothing much will be with Tia, helping her to set up the barrier." She explained. I frowned at her. "What will you be helping with? It's about spells," I asked.
"Help her to talk to my brother," She said, raising her brow. I mouthed an o at her, understanding what she meant. I may be possessive, but Vincent is on another level.
"Are you going to be busy?" She asked while coming in and out of our walk-in closet, choosing what she would wear.
"We will be finalizing the relocating of the packs and a little bit of your paperwork," I said, being sarcastic at the end. She stopped what she was doing and looked at me, raising a brow.
I shrugged and rose from the bed. I quickly entered the bathroom when Clara jokingly kicked me. I opened the shower and closed my eyes, feeling the coldness of the water.
"Where are you, sire?" Vincent mind-linked me. "Still in the bathroom, will have breakfast with Clara and will head towards the office after" I explained my plan so that he would know what meetings need to be adjusted.
"Alright," He said, feeling down. "What's wrong?" I was confused. "Tia will be gone for a month," He said. "Oh," I replied. This is bad, and Vincent may blame me since I approved Tia's plan.
"You knew, right?!" Vincent said, anger evident in his voice. I quickly blocked him; he would keep nagging me, and I didn't want to ruin my mood while taking a shower. I finished my showering, wore my bathrobe, and wiped my hair. After ensuring I was wet, I left the bathroom and saw Clara holding a dress in front of her while looking at her reflection in the mirror.
"That looks nice," I said, hugging her from behind. I kissed her on her neck, down to the part where I marked her. She moaned as I licked the mark, let go of the dress, and faced me. Her arms found their way to my neck, and she kissed me. I bit her upper lip, asking for some entrance, she opened her mouth, and I quickly deepened the kiss.
She roamed her hands to my shoulder down to my chest until she reached for the tied knot of my robe. I raised both of my eyebrows at her, liking what she was doing. "Is this a trap?" I asked, suspiciously, why she was making a move on me early in the morning. I don't like it, I love it, of course, but she usually doesn't do this.
"Hmmm," She hummed, putting one of her fingers on her chin. "Let's say that. I want to make it up to you," She said using her flirtatious voice. I couldn't resist it any longer. I lifted her, she locked her legs into my waist, and I kissed her again.
Her mouth was already open, so I deepened the kiss. I walked around and lay her down on the bed. I put all my strength into my arm to tear her clothes in one move, and I successfully did it. Clara didn't mind, and she just kept on kissing me back. I broke the kiss, removed my robe, and showered her body with some of my kisses. She moaned as I touched my lips on her skin in every part of her body. When I felt that she was wet, I inserted my fingers into her and thrust it slowly for it to be ready for me later on. Her moans grew louder, and she started scratching my back. I thrust a little faster, causing her to reach her climax first.
I leaned closer to her, kissed her, and inserted mine. Her body rose, and she tightened her grip on my back. When all of me was inside of her, I thrust slowly until she adjusted to me. When it was already adjusted, I thrust, grabbed her waist using both hands, and thrust harder and faster.
"Agh! Agh! Erik! Yes! Erik, Agh!" Clara moaned. Repeating my name every chance she got. I felt my climax, so I speeded up my thrust until I reached my conclusion. Clara was still looking at me like she was still inviting me, so I continued kissing her, deepening the kiss.
I called her for two more rounds when I remembered that I needed to attend the meeting. "Prepare some food for the Queen. Bring it in her room," I ordered at one of the omegas. I took a shower, wiped Clara, changed her, and kissed her on her forehead. "I love you," I whispered then I left the room.
I walked towards my office and saw Vincent already sitting there. "Hey," I greeted. He jolted in his seat and glanced back at me. "Can you greet me properly?!" He exclaimed, touching his chest where the heart was.
"Where are the others?" I asked. "They will come back in the afternoon. I rescheduled the meeting since you are still on your honeymoon," He said without even batting an eye. I coughed and waved my hand to my mouth.
I avoided him, sat down on my chairs, looked through the papers, and pretended to be looking. Vincent was still in the office, doing some of his paperwork at my office and enjoying the fact that I felt awkward at what he said.
I heard someone knock and invited them in. "Come in," I said.
"Are you busy?" Melissa asked while peeking at the door.
"I, ugh, need to tell you, ugh, something," She said, trying her best to complete a sentence.
"What is it?" I asked using the calmest voice I have. "I, ugh, ugh," She said, scared to finish her sentence. She looked around until her eyes landed on Vincent.
"Go on," I said, being patient with her. She is too nervous, it must be a big problem.
"I found my mate," She said, closing her eyes instantly after telling me. I didn't react negatively since it was natural. "Who is he? I will ask him a few questions before he moves in here," I instructed and started looking at the paperwork.
"I'll be the one who is going to leave," She managed to say sadly.
"What do you mean you're going to leave?!" I said. I unintentionally shouted at her. "No," I sternly said. "Excuse me, and sire," Alpha Rick entered the room.
"What brings you here?" I asked, looking at him suspiciously since everyone had decided on a new meeting place.
"I am her mate," He said. I unintentionally let go of what I am holding, "Who's your mate?" I said, releasing some of my aura, mixing it with killing intent. "Melissa, sire," He answered me politely.
I sighed, calming myself. I shouldn't be using my authority for personal matters. "What are your plans?" I asked the guy who claimed to be his mate. "We will be leaving tomorrow since we had so much to do due to the relocation of the packs," He explained. I slumped back to my seat and pinched the bridge of my nose.
"Does mom know this?" I asked Melissa. She nodded and smiled at me bitterly.
"How about your plans for traveling?" I added.
"I will still be doing that, but of course, we will still be completing the mating process before I travel," Melissa explained. I nodded and smiled at her sadly.
I stood at my chair, walked around the table, and hugged Melissa. "Be careful," I said using my stern voice. She nodded and waved goodbyes.
I can't believe that the kid who used to follow me around is not leaving the pack to join another. She found her soulmate, and I hope she will adjust there. If I ever heard something that could hurt Melissa, I would storm into their houses and destroy and burn everything I saw. The minute I knew that she cried, I would take her back, even if it was a force.
Melissa kept on staring at me, and I forgot to give them a response. Melissa got anxious about why I still hadn't replied. "You may go, but," I said, stopping at the end.
"But?" She asked with a confused face and gave me a questioning look.
"You need to go back here if something happens," I said.
"Okay, I will be visiting here often anyways," She said, dismissing her hand. Rick stayed quiet until the end, and he must be the shy or silent type of guy.
"Take good care of her, Alpha Rick," I said and unintentionally used my authority. Alpha Rick gulped, anxious that I would be doing something to him, but I changed my mind.
"If that is all, you can leave now," I said. Melissa rushed to my side and hugged me one last time happily, and I agreed. After that, she left together with Alpha Rick.
"Amazingly, you let them go that easily," Vincent said.
"Didn't you see?" I asked Vincent if he noticed.
"See what?" He asked, raising a brow at me.
"She looks so happy and excited. That it felt so wrong to tell her no," I explained.
I am empathetic when it comes to my family. Melissa grew up as my sister, and my mother is the only one in our family. I'm going to miss her, my little sister.
If Clara wants to, I want a big family, so big that we can't count the number of our children with our fingers. With that thought in mind, I laughed.
I laughed so hard that Vincent gave a disgusted face. He ignored me and went back to his paperwork.
I prayed before pushing the topic of Melissa to the back of my head.
Oh, moon goddess, please watch over my sister.
