CHAPTER 022: The Mating Part 1

last update Last Updated: 2025-04-10 09:27:12

“Yes,” I said, never looking away from Lyric.

Revka began chanting. The other witches joined her, one after the other. The air thickened, growing darker with the gathering of shadow magic.

“That song…” Lyric whispered. “I know it.”

“You heard it from Tai,” I said, shrugging off my shirt and tossing it aside. “It’s the mating song.”

Her eyes trailed over my runes, as they did on both occasions she saw me topless. Every one of those runes was earned over decades of bloodshed, pain, power. She always looked at them like she was reading a secret language only she could decode.

When I dropped my pants, her gaze dropped too.

And stayed there.

Her lips parted, and I knew—if I didn’t start controlling myself, I’d shift before I got inside her.

Tai’s voice was already echoing in my head.

‘I’ve waited too long for this. I’ll put a baby in her.’

‘Tai,’ I warned.

‘Do your thing, Calix. Leave me be.’

“Prince Calix,” Revka said firmly. “Right now.”

Lyric was on her back, knees raised,

    *** ~~LYRIC VAELGOR~~ *** I felt everything. The moment his fangs sank into my neck, it was as though the world shattered inside me. Pain. Heat. Need. My back arched off the stone table so hard I nearly threw him off me. But he held me down. His weight was crushing in the best way, pinning me, claiming me, moving inside me with maddening precision. Calix—or Tai—I couldn’t tell which one of them was more present now. Maybe both. Maybe neither. It didn’t matter. I was burning. My blood rushed to every limb, every nerve raw and alive. His bite wasn’t clean. It was feral. Messy. He wasn’t feeding with restraint. He was gorging. And gods, I liked it. A groan tore from deep within him, his hips jerking harder into mine, and I cried out as his cock hit some part of me that shouldn’t exist. The chanting around us was no longer background noise—it was inside me now, crawling through my bones like insects, a chorus of ancient words I didn’t understand but somehow still felt. My hands

    *** ~~CALIX MALZARETH~~ *** I watched Revka’s apprentices clean Lyric up in a makeshift tub. She didn’t speak. Didn’t move. Her eyes were closed, her breathing shallow. The bruises and bite marks covering her neck and chest were already fading, but the toll it took on her body wasn’t. I should’ve been weak, too. But instead, I felt... more alive than I had in decades. Magic surged in my blood, stretching through every vessel. Tai was purring somewhere in my mind, basking in the aftermath like a cat stretched in sunlight. So this was it. The mating high. The euphoria all the old ballads sang about. When poets wrote that no being could make a better choice than the gods themselves—this was what they meant. I never believed in it. Not really. Fated mates were rare. So rare that most thought it a myth. My father and my mother were fated and had been hopelessly in love with themselves—more than they ever loved their children, in my opinion. And somehow I understood it now. The pull

    The silence after my outburst was deafening. Twelve of the most powerful beings in Noctis Vhaelor sat frozen in their seats. Every eye turned toward me—and none of them looked amused. And yet, I didn’t regret it. I’d do it again. Every word, every threat, every warning that had slipped past my lips, I meant. No one would feed from her. No one would touch her. I could still feel Lyric’s pulse under my tongue. Still smell her sweat. Her blood. Her pleasure. It coated me. It marked me. And the thought of someone else experiencing that was making me and Tai murderous. “What did you say?” Councilman Yai asked, breaking the silence. “I believe the words were clear, councilman.” “Your mate,” someone repeated. “He said she’s his mate.” “You can’t bind yourself to a wolf,” another councilman snapped. “It’s not possible.” “That’s unnatural,” one of the healers muttered. “Wrong.” More voices rose. “Madness—” “Sacrilege—” I didn’t move. I didn’t flinch. I just k

    “They weren't supposed to be here until tomorrow,” Lyta said. “What changed?” Snaky, who was now sitting on a tree root, replied, “Because the king tricked the prince. He knew he’d try to hide her.” At least two dozen royal guards descended in a tight formation, their faces masked. Tundra leaned close to Lyta. “How the hell did they find us anyway?” “Think they followed us,” Lyta replied through gritted teeth. “They knew we’d lead them to Lyric.” The wind rustled across my bare skin. I was still naked from my shift. The ground was cold. My limbs ached. And yet, I stood tall, letting the guards currently landing on their feet take in the sight of me. One of them—older, broader, meaner—the one who landed first, was eyeing me curiously. His armor shimmered with rank. Captain, maybe. His eyes swept over me, pausing right below my bellybutton. I saw it in his jaw. The twitch. The hunger. The hate. I walked toward him slowly. “Are you the prince’s mate?” he asked. I cocked my head.

    My fists clenched under the table. I willed myself not to react. This man—this king—was dangerous. And not just in title. His presence alone felt like a suffocating blanket of pressure, like being trapped beneath a thick layer of shadow. He’d just threatened to turn me into a whore. And the terrifying part was—he could. The law said a royal’s mate couldn’t be executed. It didn’t say anything about everything else. I had to stay smart. I had to play the game. I forced my pulse to slow. Tried to remember everything I’d learned in those negotiation classes growing up. Back when I was being groomed for leadership. Back when I still had a name I could wear out loud. The king hadn’t stopped frowning. His eyes were sharp and cold. They watched everything—the tension in my shoulders, the way I breathed, even the twitch of my fingers. He was reading me. I sat up straighter. Let my voice drop. “Your Majesty,” I said, “I do not want to die.” “The options I gave you were sever the bond o

    *** ~~CALIX MALZARETH~~ *** I wasn’t sure what my father’s plan entailed, but it definitely didn't involve keeping me away from Lyric. From the moment I stepped into the palace, the guards had been oddly compliant—open with their words, clear in their directions. They told me exactly where she was. No stalling. No resistance. Just a quick escort to the room right beside the king’s. That alone made me suspicious. My father never gave anything away so easily. And when things were too easy, it usually meant something was deeply, violently wrong. I had braced myself for a fight. Had imagined breaking down doors, threatening whoever I had to in order to get her back. Lyta, Snaky, and Tundra had flown into my quarters breathless and wild-eyed, yelling about how the guards had taken Lyric. That was all I needed to hear. I didn’t trust my father. Not with her. Not with anything. The guards opened the door to the room beside the king’s chambers, and there she was—sitting on a low bed

    I started removing my clothes. Her eyes followed every piece of fabric I peeled away. She swallowed when my cock sprang free—hard and waiting. “The bond makes you mine,” I said. “And it makes me want to fuck you every time I see you.” “It would be in both our interests if you resisted that urge. We have other things to worry about.” I climbed onto the bed. She jumped off the other side. “What other things?” “Your father, probably in the next room?” “Good,” I said. “Let him hear me reclaim what’s mine.” She ran. I jumped down and caught her in three steps. Lifted her off the floor like she weighed nothing. “Why do you run from me when you want this?” I growled. “I don’t—” I shoved her against the wall. My fingers found her slick heat. “Then why are you moist?” “Sometimes women just are.” I grinned. “Here’s what you’re going to do for me, Princess. You’re going to scream when I fuck you. I want the entire palace to hear my name on your lips. Let them know who you belong t

    *** ~~LYRIC VAELGOR~~ *** After catching my breath and looking presentable enough to leave the room—or as presentable as a lady could look in a guard's cloak—we were finally heading out. Calix helped tie the cloak tighter around my waist, his fingers brushing my skin with every knot. He didn’t look at me much while doing it, but I knew his attention was on me the entire time. Every time our eyes did meet, something passed between us. I had no idea what awaited us outside this room. But I braced myself for it. Calix moved toward the door and opened it. Two figures stood behind it. Revka, lounging against the stone wall like she’d been waiting forever, a sly grin twisting her mouth. And beside her— King Draekor. He looked different. Younger. His hair, though still silvering at the temples, was thicker. His skin less sallow. He looked rested, powerful. Calix stepped in front of me immediately, blocking me from view. "Father." The king stared at us for a moment. His eyes w

    I woke up with a pounding headache.And pain.The first thing I registered was the aching stretch of my limbs. My arms and legs were pulled tight, splayed out in an X. Metal cuffs bit into my wrists and ankles. The table beneath me was cold, and it felt like iron. Heavy. Brutal. Like it had seen a thousand prisoners before me.My throat was dry. My lips were cracked. My head throbbed, a dull, pulsing echo behind my eyes.I realized soon enough that something sharp was on my arm.My body jerked against the restraints.“Lie still, wolf,” came a voice.Revka.Her face appeared above me, framed in shadows. Her mouth was flat, her eyes empty. Cold.“It will hurt less if you do.”My vision swam. I could feel something burning through my veins. A thick pull. Like my blood was being siphoned straight out of me.“Where am I?” I asked. My voice was barely more than a whisper.“Somewhere,” she said blandly.“You need to let me go.”“You’re not going anywhere anytime soon, Princess.”I blinked ag

    The next few seconds happened in a blur.Calix shoved me behind him so fast I nearly stumbled, his body coiling in front of mine like a shield. And then his sword was out. The sound of metal unsheathing sent silence through the room.All around us, guards flinched. Steel scraped in response.One by one, the king’s soldiers drew their blades, stepping forward. Boots marching against the stone floor echoed around the room, louder than they should have. The elites and royals who hadn’t left yet started backing away, their fine robes rustling like leaves caught in a gust.They were frightened. They should be.Calix’s blade was steady in his hand, his body taut with fury. But I knew that if he made a single wrong move, they’d all come for him. Even his own guards would come too. Yes, they were as alert as they should be to protect their commander.But still, in the end, the king was the grand commander of the Khra'gixxian army.This wasn’t just a prince versus a kingdom.This was a prince

    I felt the king's stare like a claw digging into my spine, but I didn’t flinch. I leaned into Calix instead, lifting my chin. Let him look.When Lorcan had rattled off the rules earlier, he’d mentioned that the royal family had to draw last, as some sort of show of leadership.Lucky us.I scanned the room again, taking in the other Khra’gixxes with the royal markings.Some were old, their bodies shriveled and hunched.Some were young, looking almost as terrified as the invaders they were supposed to claim.Others looked somewhere in between—middle-aged and cold-eyed, ready to add new blood to their aging lines.Cousins. Uncles. Grandparents. And so on.The lucky invaders were the ones picked by one of the old Khra'gixxes. A wrinkled, broken thing would be too tired to use them properly.I watched the royal members step up one after the other to pick from the baskets.One by one, names were drawn. One by one, the invaders were claimed.But somehow—miraculously—Mae was still there.Stil

    Back in Velmira, reaching into Mae's mind had been as easy as breathing. I could mindlink with her without thinking. A simple nudge, a focused thought, and the connection would slip open like a door left on a latch.But here—In this large hall with so many supernatural bodies, it was like shouting into a hurricane.I narrowed my focus. Tried again. Reaching, searching.Mae.Mae.Mae.Nothing.The threads tangled and twisted against each other, too many open minds coming to me at once.Frustration burned through my chest. I wanted to shake her. I wanted her to know I was coming for her, that there would be no rest for her here.I pushed harder.And that was when I realized something was wrong.I wasn’t just brushing against minds anymore.I was in them.Reading them. People's thoughts. I'd been so focused on Mae that I hadn't realized the significance of the words I could hear.‘Weak humans. They won’t last one breeding session.’‘Heard the mages are good in bed, with their spells and

    His body jerked in surprise, but he didn’t pull away. He let me. He wanted me to. My wolf's teeth broke the skin at the curve of his neck. His blood flooded my mouth. It was like drinking lightning. My entire body lit up, the bond roaring to life between us until I couldn’t tell where I ended and he began. Calix growled low and deep, his cock thrusting up into me again as I drank from him, matching his savagery with my own. He was mine too. And I would claim him as ruthlessly as he claimed me. When I finally tore my mouth away, blood smeared my lips, my chin, his skin. He stared down at me, wild and wrecked, his hand cradling the back of my head like I was the most precious thing he’d ever touched. “My beautiful, vicious wolf,” he whispered, voice wrecked. “You were made for me.” He caught my mouth in another kiss—filthy, desperate. Blood and spit and hunger slicked between our lips. Our teeth clashed, tongues tangling messily, neither of us caring about grace or tenderness.

    When his lips fell on mine, the world swept away. Calix kissed like he fought—ruthless, claiming every sound, every breath. His tongue slid against mine, deep and slow, making my body tremble. One of his hands fisted in my hair, tugging just enough to make me gasp against his lips. The other hand gripped my waist, pinning me beneath the full heat and weight of him. I arched against him, desperate for more, for all the things he’d denied me the past week. His teeth grazed my bottom lip before he bit down gently, pulling a whimper from my throat. He swallowed the sound with a growl, his hips grinding against mine. “You are so stubborn,” he rasped against my mouth. “You make me want to break every bone in your body, and at the same time, you make me want to protect you.” “By protecting, do you mean caging?” I whispered back, dragging my nails down his back, feeling his muscles ripple under my touch. He pulled back slightly, just enough to look at me. His eyes weren’t just hungry—the

    “Come down, little wolf,” Calix said, eyes never leaving mine as I struggled to get my magic under control. Reluctantly, I began to descend the stairs. My fingers were still tingling, shadows still retreating beneath my skin like ink pulled back into a quill. Each step felt heavier than the last. At the foot of the stairs, I stopped. “Come closer,” he said. I did. Step by step. Until I stood in front of both princes. No one spoke. Lorcan stared openly, his eyes gleaming as they traced the faint glow of runes flashing along my collarbone and arms. “I’m very sure that decades from now, they’ll write a song about you, Lyric,” Lorcan said. “A wolf with magical powers.” Calix hissed a spell under his breath, and immediately, the glow vanished. He stood slowly, body taut with tension. “We’re all going to agree right now that this never happened,” he said, glaring at Lorcan. “What part?” Lorcan asked innocently. “That your mate didn’t try to kill our father, or that she has magical

    A week later, 1500 citizens from the three other kingdoms arrived in Noctis Vhaelor. I stood by the window, watching them flood the streets as they were ushered in, their heads down, movements slow. I didn’t know why I was looking so closely. It wasn’t like I was going to recognize anyone. I’d grown up surrounded by Alphas, warriors, and councilmen. The ones sent here? Likely omegas, nameless and discarded by their own people. Still, I couldn’t stop watching. Maybe some foolish part of me hoped to see a familiar face. A glimpse of home—whatever that meant now. Behind me, Calix was still asleep. Sharing a room with him was a nightmare dressed as luxury. The bed was massive, the sheets like velvet, and the view divine—but I was trapped. Caged in a golden chamber I couldn’t leave. He slept during the day, like now, sprawled out with his hair a mess, face calm, runes glowing faintly along his arms and collarbone. And then at night, he disappeared. Duties, he said. Royal business. No

    The king's stare bored into me. "You’re telling me," he said, voice like ice breaking under pressure, "that she is the child of the monster who killed my wife." Was he forgetting the part where he killed my parents? My throat tightened. Not with fear. With rage. His wife? What about my mother? What about my father? The thousands of soldiers who died on that field? The people who lost their mates, their siblings, their children? All because King Draekor couldn’t accept that the other kingdoms wanted independence. All because the Khra’gixx believed they were owed everything. The kingdoms were never meant to bow to one throne. Each was meant to be independent. That was the point of the division. But the Khra’gixx… they hardly produced anything. They had very few farmlands, fishing waters, and mines. Just magic. Power. And the arrogance that came with both. So they leached from the rest of us. They didn’t ask. That wasn’t their custom. They demanded. Took. Enforced monthly tribute
