LOGINSamantha's POV
The next morning I woke up to Alpha Maddox's caresses on my face. I opened my eyes to see his handsome face, his mischievous smile, and his eyes on me, as if he were enchanted. "Good morning, sleeping beauty," he said, his voice hoarse and drawn out from just waking up. I smiled, my face flushed. "Good morning, my king." All the memories of last night were now flooding back. The memories of him and me together, entwined under the sheets, the warmth of his body against mine, his addictive kisses... I couldn't help but feel like I was on cloud nine. "Sorry, I ended up sleeping so soundly." "You're even more beautiful sleeping, I like seeing you like this," he gently held the tip of my chin with his index finger and covered my mouth with his lips. The simple touch sent sparkles all over my body, leaving my heart warm and my skin tingling. "I love knowing you're mine," he said, our eyes locked on each other. I lifted my head to kiss him again, now deeper than before. I was melting for him, experiencing a love so strong I never imagined I could feel to this extent. The kiss intensified, his mouth warm and perfect against mine, our tongues intertwining, engaging in an increasingly intense battle. His hand caressing my bare back beneath the sheets, his other hand holding the nape of my neck to better guide the kiss and draw me closer, pressing my body against his. "Maddox..." My breathing was becoming heavy, my hands gripping his shoulders as he trailed kisses down my neck, his lips kissing and gently sucking, his tongue licking and gliding. "By the goddess, your scent is unparalleled... it makes me fucking dizzy," he gasped heavily, kissing my neck again, biting lightly, making me throw my head back and gasp heavily. I was already so at his mercy that I was even ashamed that he might think I was shameless. "The sun has already risen. You must have a lot to do. I don't want to steal your time..." He lifted his face to me, his heavy black eyes, lupine gold forming in his pupils. "What more important thing would I have to do than be with my mate?" he said almost in a whisper. That was so intimate that I got goosebumps all over. Slowly he pulled the sheet, which I was covering myself with up to my breasts, down, revealing my naked body. "Fucking Goddess, have I told you how beautiful you are?" his voice was heavy and panting. I smiled. "I don't mind hearing it again." "Well, I don't mind saying it again," he said, taking my mouth again with an overwhelming kiss, then trailing kisses down my chin and shoulders, lingering as he took my breasts in his mouth, sucking and playing with them. "Oh, Alpha..." I gasped, breathing heavily, pleasure overwhelming me, feeling my lower abdomen heave with excitement. His hand didn't stop sliding over my body, caressing my legs and moving up to my thighs, sending pleasant shivers down my spine. But his kisses were descending further and further, his tongue tracing wet trails on my skin. When he positioned himself where he most wanted, between my legs, he gave me a knowing look before devouring my intimacy with the hunger of twenty lions. His hot, wet mouth making contact with my sensitive part made me let out a sincere moan. Maddox chuckled, amused, smugly, enjoying seeing how vulnerable I was to him. "You're being mean to me..." I stammered. "I can't wait for our mating ritual, so I can eat you up like that every single morning," he teased, then went back to using his mouth on me. There was so much thirst, so much greed in that mouth that I even doubted it could be real. And my body grew hotter and hotter, almost boiling beneath my skin. I could only spread my legs wider and enjoy the divine sensation as he did what he so desired. The ceiling of my king's quarters, meticulously crafted with drawings of the goddess, kings and Lunas from ancient myths, runes of protection and adoration to the goddess, was all blurred now as my eyes rolled back from the intense pleasure I was feeling. It took me a while to reach my climax, while he had all my lower parts in his mouth. My chest rose and fell, my moans somewhat uncontrolled, making me afraid that the guards outside the door weren't listening. Maddox lifted his body, his eyes now more golden, his mouth all wet with saliva and something else, a mischievous expression playing on his face. "So sweet, just as I expected." "Oh, my Goddess..." I held his face and kissed him with more desire than before, my hands caressing his shoulders and back with a certain desperation. I wanted him so badly I was going crazy, but Maddox didn't disappoint me; I gasped as I felt his size penetrating me. Slowly...entering and filling every empty corner of me, warm and steady, perfect for me, despite its overly large size, but I was so wet that it slid in and fit perfectly. "Holy fuck, so tight..." he gasped into my mouth, eyes groggy and half-open, his hips swinging slowly, deeply. "I need you so, so bad..." "Yes, take me... Take it all. I'm all yours, my king..." I gasped, hugging his back, eyes closed and breathing heavily. He took my mouth again in a possessive kiss, his golden eyes ablaze, looking at me deeply, his powerful canines formed. He didn't want to look away, he wanted to see clearly the woman who was driving him so crazy. And that only made him lose his mind even more. The position was perfect for him to thrust with more precision, so he did so masterfully. His thigh slapping against mine, the sound of the impact was loud in the room. Intimo. My mouth opened, the moan trapped in each short breath, following his thrusts, my hand supporting myself on his neck for balance... If you asked me what my name was, I wouldn't know the answer. "Argh...!" he groaned, his shoulders trembling, his hips tense, his hands holding my waist and thigh also tense when I felt him release, blessing me with his hot jets directly onto my womb, and then when I realized it, I was in the same ecstasy as him, my body burning and writhing. He kissed me right after, and looked at me with a playful little smile. "Bloody hell, I love your way of saying good morning to me."Samantha's POVI was lost in thought, gazing at the night sky from my chamber window, when I felt something soft touch my bare back.I gasped with a smile, already knowing who it was. "I bet you're thinking of me," Maddox said, making me giggle foolishly."Reading my thoughts now, my king?" I glanced at him sideways; he held a sprig of red rose in his hand, and now he was sliding the petals up my back and shoulders, sending pleasant shivers through me.His hand rested on my waist, the thin silk fabric of my nightgown allowing me to feel the warmth of his touch without much hindrance. "I can hear your heart pounding with love, I can hear your pheromones filling the room, I can feel your heat..." he whispered in my ear, his lips brushing the nape of my ear."For the fairest, the one who never leaves my thoughts." He handed me the bouquet of red roses, leaving me enchanted."I'm flattered if you think of me," I joked, sniffing the flower."Want to know what I think of you?" His hands gri
Samantha POVThe winter sun hung low in the sky, pale and gentle, casting soft golden light across the snow covered garden. Icicles dripped from the branches of the ancient oaks, and the frost on the rose bushes sparkled like crushed diamonds. It was cold, but the glass walls of the winter garden held the warmth inside, trapping the heat from the small fire burning in the central brazier.I sat on a cushioned bench, a cup of steaming tea cradled in my hands, and watched the world outside turn white and quiet.Ysabella sat across from me, her dark hair braided with silver ribbons, her cheeks flushed from the warmth of the fire. Beside her were two other noble girls from the Emberclaw pack, daughters of Gammas who had come to pay their respects to the future queen. They were young, barely older than Tori, with bright eyes and eager smiles. They had brought small gifts, embroidered handkerchiefs and jars of honey from their family estates, and they chattered endlessly about the upcomin

Samantha POVThe wine had made me warm, but it was Maddox who set my skin on fire.He rose from the cushions and extended his hand toward me, his black eyes glowing softly in the candlelight. The bard's melody shifted into something slower, more intimate, the notes wrapping around us like silk."Dance with me," he said. It was not a question.I placed my hand in his, and he pulled me gently to my feet. The veranda stretched out before us, open to the night sky, the stars scattered above like diamonds on black velvet. The lamps flickered around us, their warm light pooling on the stone floor and casting dancing shadows across the walls.He drew me close, one hand resting on my waist, the other still holding mine. We swayed slowly, barely moving, our bodies pressed together from chest to hip. I could feel the steady beat of his heart, could smell the dark pine and storm wind scent of him that made my head spin."You are beautiful," he murmured against my hair. "More beautiful than any
Samantha's POVMy dress was beautiful, made of fine silk in a creamy beige-yellow color, the straps deliberately falling off my arms and a long slit on my left leg. My hair was loose and well-groomed, light makeup on my face; I looked beautiful. Tori and Ysabelle had excitedly prepared me so that the king would be speechless.And he truly was.When I entered his chambers, guided by his butler, he awaited me seated on cushions on the veranda floor, a low table laden with expensive wine and delicacies, cushions gathered around it. Lamps and candles lit the atmosphere, creating a warm and cozy ambiance. The bard played an enchanting melody that perfectly suited the moment."Samantha, my dearest. You look beautiful," he said, approaching me, taking my hand and kissing the back of it while gazing at me with those deep, dark eyes."Thank you, my king," I smiled. Maddox was truly a heartbreaker, with his handsome face, well-defined body, and strong hands. I could tell I was well taken care o
Samantha POVBeta Ranulf stood before the throne, his hands bound with heavy chains, guards on either side of him as he was judged for his crimes."This is nonsense," he snapped, glaring at Maddox. "How dare you accuse me of a crime when I've maintained this kingdom all these years since your parents' death? You've always been cursed, incapable of leading all seven packs that make up the kingdom. You languished under your curse for years while I took care of everything for you, and now you want to imprison me just because of her?"He pointed at me carelessly, not even bothering to look at me. I was sitting in the corner of the throne, watching everything."You say you ruled for me, but you ignore the fact that the kingdom is in tatters because of you. Starvation everywhere, tensions between packs, the needy suffering more and more while the lords get richer, and you call that ruling?" Maddox didn't hold back in exposing Ranulf's bad governance.And he wasn't even exaggerating. In my
