Yzabelle:
“Are you ready?” Saskia bent over me from behind and softly squeezed both of my shoulders.
I smiled at Saskia from our reflection in the mirror. The immeasurable happiness was visible in my radiating reflection.
It was our big day. Killian and I decided to do the mating ceremony tonight. We can’t wait anymore. And I could not let my mate wait in vain. He’d been waiting for me for almost four decades.
Yeah, that was right. We grieved about Corbin's death. Especially when I found out that he gave up his life to bring me back.
I was sad that I wasn’t able to give the same love he had for me when he was able to give me everything he had, to the extent of his life. But Saskia told me maybe Corbin wasn’t meant for this time. Besides, the inevitable will still happen.
I reunited with Saskia when Sabrina took me to her. And the moment she touched my hand, the memories of my past life suddenly filled my head.
I didn’t know how it happened, but it did. And I was happier. I was able to reunite with the only friend I had when I was Laura. She was also my guardian and I requested her presence at my mating ceremony, since Draco still didn’t agree with that. He was even remorseful when he found out Sabrina appointed me to be the next female Alpha of the Remus Pack, if ever they would not be able to create a new heir before they passed away. And I accepted the obligation. It was the best I could do to repay Corbin, their successor.
Even though there were small arguments and disagreements, my old man was still nice enough to give his blessings for our mating ceremony. I knew he wished me happiness. He was just worried about me and the obligations I was about to take.
Maybe, slowly, he would accept that I was meant to be with my mate.
I will always love him regardless.
“Very much ready.” I breathed.
“You’re stunningly beautiful, my dear. Your mate would probably drool over you.” Saskia whispered to me.
I chuckled and threw my head back. “Come on, Sas.”
“Oh, did I forget that he had been crazy over you since the first time he saw you?”
I was about to say something when we heard a soft knock from outside.
‘I couldn’t wait to see you,’ I heard Killian from the mind-link.
He was probably the one knocking outside.
“Speaking of the devil,” Saskia rolled her eyes. I guessed she sensed Killian. “I’ll be waiting in the courtyard. Don’t stay too long. Or he will impregnate you even before the ceremony.”
“Sas!” I scolded her but I laughed at it also.
Why did her words send butterflies into my stomach?
Saskia winked naughtily and left. Killian entered the room.
And what a dashing man he was. I could not hold it. I threw myself at him. He quickly greeted me with fiery kisses.
“Let’s stop. Or we can not make it to the ceremony.”
We were breathless when we let go.
“Oh damn it!” I growled, half annoyed and half needy.
His fingertips were touching the bare flesh of my neck and it only ignited my intense need.
I didn’t know when was the last time we kissed. Was it this morning when we woke up? Or was it in the shower? Or must it have been an hour ago when he left me with their royal glam team?
I didn’t know. All I knew was the fact that I was crazy for him. I could not last an hour without being with him.
Saskia must have been wrong when she said Killian was crazy for me. Because it was the opposite. I was the one who was crazy for him. Since the time Milley appeared to me, my need for my mate has heightened and worsened.
I couldn’t believe I was this crazy. I never imagined myself being like this. Or maybe it was there, deep within me, sleeping to my core. Just like Milley.
And my intense desire woke up together with Milley.
Whatever it was, what was important was the fact that we were happy. Everything was in order. And even if life threw us so much, I was certain we could get through it all.
Because I was with him. The one who made me feel whole. My mate, my prince, my love.
“If you command me to take you, I would be honored.” He whispered against my ears.
The fire of passion instantly snaked through my body. Oh goddess, help me. He just intensified my desire.
“I couldn’t do that. The king wouldn’t like it. He said he had a very important announcement to make.”
I discreetly sniffed his neck, teasing him to the core. He winced and pulled his breath. I continued by playing with the buttons of his white polo.
“Oh, try me. No one can defy you.” He was breathless.
“Really?”
“Yeah, really. He knew how powerful you could be. And a lot could testify to that. With just your growl, all the enemies were turned to ashes. That must be the reason why he wanted to step down and enjoy his retirement. Because he knew we could lead the two packs properly.”
“Are you serious?” He completely stole my attention. “Is that what he wanted to announce tonight?”
Killian drew a ragged breath. “Yes, my lovely mate.” He suddenly grabbed me from my waist and lifted me up onto the console table. “Now, could you please continue what you were doing? I was dying here.”
I chuckled at the pain in his voice. He was aching for me.
I wanted him. I was always thirsty for his kisses, and I wasn’t sure we could hold it until the ceremony ended.
Maybe it was better if we got to the ceremony a little late. They could wait.
THE END.
