Richard "Richard?" Regina asked, standing by her side. "Are you fine?" I nodded my head as I took her hand in, giving it a gentle squeeze. "I'm just a little shaken up," I replied, trying to hide the sadness in my voice. "But having you here with me makes me feel better." Regina nodded her head at my words, and we turned our faces toward the pack member and closed her eyes, mumbling something understandable before taking a deep breath. It was clear that Regina was trying to stay composed and provide support in the midst of our shared uncertainty. She can't act weak, not when she has to stand in Sam's place beside me as the alpha. I could see the determination in her eyes as she clenched her fists, ready to face whatever challenges lay ahead. Regina was a true leader, and I knew I could rely on her strength during this difficult time. "Alpha...," One of the Alphas called out, their voice filled with urgency and concern. Regina turned towards them, her expression unwavering as she p
Richard "Regina, the Queen of Illuminare," Richard announced to the crowd. The crowd erupted in applause, their eyes fixed on me. I stood shocked by the cheerful repose from the pack member; I wasn't really accepting such good repose from my people. I never thought they would accept someone so young and unqualified to be their queen. As I gazed at their adoring faces, a sense of responsibility washed over me. I don't know if I deserve such kind hospitality from all these people. I felt overwhelmed by the weight of their expectations, unsure if I could live up to the title bestowed upon me. However, Riichard placed his hands on my waist as he gently pulled me to him, offering me reassurance and support. His presence gave me the strength to believe in myself and face the challenges ahead. I have yet to find my wolf, so I don't feel the spark of connection that many wolves feel when finding their fated mate. However, I still can't deny the connection I have had with Richard since the
Regina "And you'll always be my Alpha," I whispered, leaning in to kiss Richard tenderly on the lips. As our lips met, I felt a rush of warmth and affection enveloping us, solidifying the unbreakable bond we shared. Richard seemed startled by my sudden action, but a smile quickly spread across his face. As he wrapped his hands around my waist, he pulled me closer, deepening the kiss with a passion that sent shivers down my spine. I can't help but moan at his touch, as I feel a wave of desire wash over me and wrap my arms around him, losing myself in the intensity of our embrace. At that moment, time seemed to stand still as we surrendered to the intoxicating connection between us. Every touch and every caress fueled the fire burning within our souls. As we broke apart, I was breathless and craving more. "I never knew a kiss made me lose my mind," Richard mumbled breathlessly, his voice filled with a mixture of astonishment and longing. I couldn't help but smile at his words. "Me t
Regina "Sam knew..." I trailed off, my voice barely a whisper. The realization hit me like a ton of bricks. Sam had known about Richard and me all along. Richard nodded at my words, and a grim expression crossed his face. Sam knew about Richard and me all along. "Everything," he finally admitted, his voice filled with sadness. "I was the only one unaware of that fact then," I said, staring at Richard. "Was he happy about that?" Richard's face grew even more somber as he shook his head. "No, he wasn't happy," he replied softly. Richard put both his hands on my shoulder, making me sit on a nearby couch. "He was angry at first, but then soon he was pleased about our union," Richard explained, his voice filled with a mix of sadness and relief. "Sam wanted nothing more than you to be happy." I could see the conflicting emotions in Richard's eyes as he spoke. It was clear that Sam's ultimate concern was my happiness, even if it meant sacrificing his own. "Really?" I asked Richard
Regina "What is this place?" I asked Richard, who had held me in his arms all this time, curious to know the identity of the unfamiliar place he brought me to. "This is my house," he replied with a smile plastered on his face as he gently placed me on the ground. I looked around, taking in the cozy atmosphere and the warm glow of the lights. The walls were adorned with photographs and artwork, giving the place a personal touch. "Wow..." I can't help but be in awe of the beauty and thoughtfulness of his home. "It's beautiful, but I thought you lived in some kind of castle or something." He chuckled softly, his eyes twinkling with amusement. "I may not live in a castle, but this place is my sanctuary," he explained. "It may not be grand, but it's filled with love and memories that make it truly special to me." I couldn't help but feel a sense of warmth and comfort as he spoke. It was clear that his home held a deep sentimental value, making it a truly unique and cherished space
Regina "There's no need for words, my love. Just know that my feelings for you are deep and unwavering." Richard mumbled softly, his eyes filled with affection. He gently caressed my cheek, conveying his emotions through the tender touch. "Richard...." I mumbled in response, my voice barely audible. The intensity of his gaze and the warmth of his touch overwhelmed me, leaving me speechless. His touch is making me lose all my senses, as if I am floating in a sea of pure bliss. I could feel my heart racing as if it were trying to match the rhythm of his touch. With my eyes closed, I surrendered completely to the intoxicating sensation. "Regina..." Richard mumbled, rubbing my lower lips gently with his thumb before pulling me closer. My body responded instinctively to his touch, aching for more of his intimate caress. The world around us faded away, leaving only the electrifying connection between us. "Can I kiss you?" The words escaped my lips, barely audible in the midst of our shar
Regina "Together," I mumbled, and just as soon as the words left my lips, Richard's lips covered mine. I find his hands wrapped around me, capturing me in passionate and intense kisses, with Richard’s lips gaining dominance over mine. At that moment, time seemed to stand still as the electricity between us intensified. The unexpected rush of emotions overwhelmed me, leaving me torn between the desire to resist and the intoxicating pull of Richard's touch. With his arms tightly wrapped around my waist, he pulled my body close enough that there wasn’t a mere centimeter left in between our bodies. I could feel the heat radiating from his body, matching the fire that was ignited within me. Every nerve ending seemed to come alive as our lips moved in perfect synchronization, each kiss deepening the connection between us. It was as if we were the only two people in the world, lost in a moment of pure bliss and undeniable chemistry. His touch sent shivers down my spine, intensifying the e
Regina "All this time, I was only watching you." His words sent a rush of warmth through my body as if the fire within me had been stoked even higher. The realization that he had been silently observing me all along filled me with a mixture of excitement and a tinge of regret for not noticing sooner. With his lips biting on my neck, he left his mark on me. I couldn't help but surrender to the intoxicating passion that consumed us both. Every touch and every kiss ignited a wildfire of emotions within me, erasing any doubts or regrets. "Prove it," I said, moaning as his lips sent a shiver down my spine. His hands traced a path down my body, leaving a trail of goosebumps in their wake. I could feel the intensity of his desire matching my own as he whispered, "I'll show you just how much I've been watching." He smirked as his hands immediately reached for the fastenings of my clothes, tugging the zippers and clasps aside. He then pressed a kiss on each new section of my bare skin. "But
