Chapter 35

"All I know is that the Lycan realm sits outside this world in a pocket created millennia ago by witches. That is why it takes a witch's magic to bridge the space between this world and their. The Lycan who requests this connection and safe passage must give the witch a vial of their blood as payment. It has long been known that Lycan blood can heal. And the witches use it in potions and sell it to anyone who needs it. It has been a mutual ritual in place since the beginning. The problem I have is, if I were to give my blood as payment, or Lumos or even Tertia it wouldn't work as our blood line has been banned from entering the realm even again. And if we try we will be incarcerated and judge as criminals. If you use your blood as payment, it would show as royal blood, and the witch who takes payment for it will be killed, without a trial. For taking the blood of a goddess. As it is believed, the royal line is directly descended from the moon goddess Selene. So do you now see the quandary in in"?

I did. I did see the problem. And it pissed me off. It wasn't good enough. It wasn't fair. I didn't ask for my life to be this way. I didn't ask to get ripped from my parents and placed with some random people......

"Why did Ajax, umm. Pallas leave me with the fosters, were you ever told why?".

Knox shook his head, "I was never privy to that information". But I would bet my Uncle Lewis would know. I will send for him. We can ask him together. That way, you know, I'm not hiding anymore from you. Is that okay?"

I nodded. I needed to get out of this room and perhaps go for a run. Jet was still a ball of fury, so maybe going for a long run would help? Whatever I did, I hope it helped her. I could feel the frustration within her. And the deep seated resentment for Knox and his whole family. He stood the same time as me and went to open the door of his office and see me out. Due to the raging ball of energy that was my Lycan, I was jittery and stumbled as I went to the door. Tripping over my own feet, I pitched forward and luckily stopped from face planting the floor by Knox's strong arms. The position I was in looked like he had dipped me during the waltz. Being in his arms, being so close i could feel his sweet smelling breath on my face was all it took for Jet to want to claim her mate. She pushed forward, and seeing Knox's eyes turn black, Jet knew Andras was in control. And the two Lycans decided they wanted to Get It On!!

Try as I might, I couldn't push Jet back. I was scolding her in my mind until she relented and started to move to the back of my mind. Andras, on the other hand, had a different plan of action. Still pinned in the strong embrace of this man and his Lycan, I felt the first tentative brush of lips on my cheek. I was frozen, should I push him away? But, oh this felt so natural. It was like we fit together in every way. As Knox/Andras pulled me up into a standing position, I looked in his eyes and realised that it wasn't Andras who had the control, but in fact Knox. I tried to push out of his arms at this point, but it was futile. I closed my eyes and gave myself the kiss I knew was coming.

Sam POV

The kiss started lightly on my cheek, down to my ear, then he nibbled behind my ear and moved down my neck until he reached my sensitive spot. I shuddered when I felt his canine's scrap over the mating spot. I growled in frustration. I wanted his lips on mine, but he was teasing me. Enough, I could hear Jet say in my mind. And grinning to myself, I took the initiative and pulled him so I could claim his lips. This kiss was more explosive than any that had come before. I could feel heat starting to rise from the souls of my feet. I was getting more and more excited, but only because Knox was too. It was total abandonment. We both were lost to the power of the mate bond. I ravished his lips. Biting his lower lip until he opened them, and I could finally taste him. Our tongues danced for dominance. This was the most erotic thing to ever happen to me.

Knox POV

I can't believe I'm kissing this beautiful woman right now. I was shocked at first when she took control and started to bite my lip so I could open up and let her in. Somehow Andras and myself knew that it was important for her to lead the way. For her to have the control. I was totally fine with this, and I could feel heat rising from the souls of my feet. I pulled her a little closer, and Sam closed the gap by pushing her gorgeous body against mine. Every part of her touched every part of me, and I heard a gasp leave her lips when she pressed herself against my very erect cock. Sam then stopped the kiss long enough to look into my eyes. I don't know what she was looking for, but I'd say she found it when she gave me a little grin and started to kiss me. I held on to her as I moved back from the door. I was trying to get to the chairs, instead I had started to push her to my desk. Throwing caution to the wind, I gently asked for permission with my eyes. Sam quietly looked at where she was standing and sent me the biggest smile I had seen on her face since she had been with us.

Sam POV

I felt my legs hit something solid as Knox guided us away from the door of the office. Looking in his eyes, I could tell he was asking me if we could go a little further. I don't know why, but I had started to trust him. I don't know when it started, but the trust was there. So looking around at the desk, I turned back to him and smiled as I pushed myself onto the back and allowed him to step in between my legs. Closing his eyes as he did so, I quickly realized that being in this position placed his hard cock at the entrance to my sacred place. My eyes widen at this, as I almost forgot that i didn't have actual clothes on. This made me gasp, groan and growl simultaneously. A noise that seemed to excite Knox even further. Pulling me close once again, we started to kiss. But now the positions were different, the kiss took on a more sexual quality. I wanted to feel his body on mine, so I leaned back and pulled me with him. I naturally lifted my legs up and around his waist, which placed his stiffness at the entrance to my very core.
