LOGINAlonso Corleone.
We arrived at the palace, and the guards greeted us respectfully, without looking Maddison in the face. According to royal protocol, no guard or warrior could look at the princesses or the queen in the face.
Of course, Hannah, at her young twelve years old, did not understand it and I have often known her to prank the guards to make them look at her nonsense. Warren lived hiding her misdeeds and, well... the triplets too.
They spoiled her with everything she wanted, because she was the youngest, except the queen. She was ruthless with her five children.
We arrived at the queen’s office, and Maddison knocked on the door. We waited a few seconds until we heard, “Come in!”
I opened it and let Maddison enter first, as protocol dictated. The queen’s mates had to go behind her as respect and protection.
“Wow… Until fate caught up with you. It’s about time! I’m so tired of having to pretend like I knew nothing.”
I closed the door and from where I was standing, I could feel Maddison’s annoyance. She didn’t like what her mother had just said at all.
“It’s good that you mention it, mother. What the fuck were you thinking? Keep me away from Alonso until now? Invent him a girlfriend? Are you serious?”
The queen sighed and stood up, saying, “I see Alonso has told you everything. Yes, I agree with you. The model girlfriend thing was no good or cute. Your parents screwed up big time.”
“No! Really? Do you think? Now we have other problems.”
The queen frowned as Maddison handed her the phone, showing them the pictures.
“So, there you were last night. William mentioned letting you go and after listening to his reasons, I agreed to give you that time. But this… It will be a nightmare for the P.R. team.”
She scratched the bridge of her nose as she handed the phone back to Maddison. “It would have been better if Alonso had come to the palace like we had talked about… but I’m glad it was him you hooked up with and not some random guy. Although don’t tell your father Peter that I agree. He’s still mad at you.”
Maddison frowned, saying, “Is he angry? The nerve! He kept me away from my mate for three years… He lost all right to be angry, mom.”
“You may be right, Maddie. But in his eyes, you will always be his little girl.”
As I listened to the conversation between mother and daughter, I couldn’t help but take my thoughts back to that night.
My wolf, Ankor, told me we should go out. A few days ago, Maddison had celebrated her 21st birthday and the time we were waiting for had finally ended... finally our mate would meet us.
Something inside told us that the night would be unforgettable. Maybe it was fate, maybe intuition or the magic that calls for magic. But we both knew we should go to that bar.
It has been extremely hard waiting for her to be ready. But we knew it would be worth it. My little mate would always be worth it. And since we knew we had to wait all this time, with Ankor, agreed to be our best version. We work every day to be the best in everything.
We knew that not only we were Maddison’s mates, but that position also came with a title attached: being the alpha king of the north.
The best trained me and those were the four alpha kings and the queen’s guard, since she herself made me part of it.
As a member of the Queen’s Guard, my life was dedicated to protecting and caring for the Sovereign Queen. Today, it was Queen Emma. But soon, it will be Maddison.
Over the past sixteen years, the purposes of the Queen’s Guard have changed to make it effective. Therefore, its members belong to all the institutions of our society.
I took over the academy so I could get away from Maddison. There was so much to do. I must say that I was lucky to have the love and support of the Queen in every decision I have made since I was eighteen.
She believed in me from the moment I showed her my loyalty over my alpha. And I know she has seen me as a son... at least that is what she has shown over the years.
Thanks to her, I studied economics and business at Harvard. I did a PhD at Stanford and a PhD at Hopkins. I took what the old King Harry did and made it better.
The academies brainwashed pups and younglings into loyal agents. Harry recruited them when they were very little. He stole them or the parents simply enrolled them because it was always prestigious.
We took the prestige he already had in the human world and generalized it to all the wolves, she-wolves, Lycans and witches / warlock in the nation.
There, they were prepared to serve in any task within society. There were some who had preferences towards being warriors, others to belong to the guard, others to belong to the covens, and many of them performed political jobs.
The academies were elite and there was no admission because of nepotism. That was something I never went through, and I have spent years keeping it that way while managing the Academies Group.
To be accepted into an academy, the applicants must pass all the tests, no matter who their family was or where they came from.
We have found hidden talents in orphanages, covens, and different packs. Even the three princes and both princesses have had to take the tests to be accepted, so it has been part of the tradition of our society.
So, I have taken advantage of my time without my mate to be the best and deserving of her.
When I walked into that bar, the scent of fresh apple and cinnamon hit me hard in the face. For a few seconds, I was processing what my nose was telling me: my mate was in this place.
Of course, Ankor was screaming and jumping inside my head and spinning around like it was the Olympics... His enthusiasm was obvious.
And when I was next to her, the sparks I felt were the supreme confirmation that she was mine... she was finally mine.
I still remember what happened that night, and it makes me smile like a fool.
FLASHBACK.
She smiled haughtily, drank the last of her glass and, very close to my lips, said, “Maybe so. What are you going to do about it?”
I must admit that the moment she challenged me, my cock twitched in my pants. I never believed that one conversation was enough to turn me on like that.
I took her hand and pulled that beautiful body towards the hotel across the street. I pushed to the back of my mind any hint of worry about taking care of what others would think. It was a long time waiting to feel her and, finally, tonight, she would be mine.
Fortunately, this hotel belonged to me. It was a recent purchase and how nice it was to make it. We took the elevator, and I growled at the guy in charge to get off. I was too horny and so was Maddison to have another male near my mate.
The door closed, and I pinned her against the wall. I took her hands on her head and with the other; I raised her bare leg while I didn’t stop kissing her.
Maddison kept rubbing herself against my cock, making the boner become completely painful.
“You can’t imagine how much I want you, little one!”
“I want to feel you inside me!” She said.
Kissing her neck, I whispered, “Tell me what you want, little one.”
She moaned as she closed her eyes, and said, “oh, I want your cock inside me!”
The door opened, and I took her into my arms. My mate had an emergency, and I was absolutely willing to satisfy her in any way that was necessary and that she wanted.
I crossed with her in my arms and headed straight to the bedroom, throwing her onto the bed. I was just waiting for this to be her first time, because since I know she’s mine, I haven’t had a woman.
I lifted her dress and positioned myself between her legs. I take her lips while with one hand I pulled down her panties. I pulled away and looked at her beautiful face, full of passion for me. It was me who heated her up. It was because of me she was this wet.
Ankor was on the surface, wanting to get out and mark her. But I knew better. It was not yet time to mark her. Her flushed cheeks and lust-filled eyes looked at me as I lowered my head, placing it between her legs.
Tonight, I would try it all. Maddison would be mine completely. I stopped, waiting for her to say something. I smiled at her as I traced wet kisses between her thighs.
She moaned without looking away from me. I said, “Are you sure this is what you want, little one?”
Maddison bit her lower lip. “It’s what I want. I wouldn’t rather be anywhere else than here, with you.”
“What do you want? Say it!”
She moaned again and then said, “Make me yours!”
“Politely?” I told her while blowing on her clit. She arched her back, moaning, and said, “Please!”
Hearing her ask for it, I devoured her pink pussy, which was so wet. I ran my tongue over her clit, and at the same time, I put a finger inside. She arched again, moaning louder. Sparks exploded in my body as I felt her so receptive to my caresses.
I pumped her pussy while I didn’t stop sucking on her bundle of nerves. She responded by moaning even more and moved to the rhythm of my finger, seeking more friction. I put one more finger on her, to which she arched again and moaned. It felt tight inside, but quickly her pussy was invaded by a fresh wave of arousal, making her completely wet.
I couldn’t stop sucking, kissing, and biting her. I loved everything about her. Her scent drove me crazy, and her sounds took me to the edge of sanity.
It took little for her to increase her pace, seeking her release. I put one more finger on it because it was what she needed.
“Oh, my goddess! I’m coming!” I heard her scream between gasps and moans.
“Cum for me, little one. I want to hear you scream!” I growled at her, my voice full of lust.
And just like that, she allowed her orgasm to hit her, leaving her dazed on the bed. I kept looking at that beautiful face, engraving it in my mind.
I could never get tired of this. I never could.
She was perfect for me in every way. Maddison was made for me, and I planned to enjoy her for as long as I can.
END OF FLASHBACK.
“Alonso! Are you listening to me?” My mate’s musical voice brought me out of my burning thoughts.
I shook my head, shaking off the sexual memory that assaulted my mind at the least opportune moment.
“Forgive me, little one. What were you saying?”
I saw how she was going to respond when the office door opened, and Crystal appeared. I frowned, confused. What the hell was she doing here?
A growl was heard coming out of my mate’s mouth and as I looked at her face, I could see her blue eyes turn into two hazel beacons.
“GET AWAY FROM HIM, YOU FUCKING WHORE! HE’S MINE!”
Maddison Spencer-BennettI didn’t sleep at all the night after Capture the Flag. I remained awake on my balcony until the sky had completely brightened, replaying the image of Santino crossing the castle courtyard with Vladimir’s black flag flying above his head like a banner of war.Not even Kallie had the energy to tease me about my insomnia that night. She was just as nervous as I was about what was coming.“The list is supposed to be ready by now,” Kate murmured beside me. We were both leaning over the stone railing, watching as the royal servants finished preparing the great hall for the ceremony. “My uncle works on the evaluation council. He says that even he hasn’t seen the complete results.”“Great,” I replied, feeling my stomach knot a little tighter. “Nothing like the suspense of not knowing who will sleep in their own bed tonight and who will be escorted out of the kingdom before sunset.”Kate squeezed my hand, a silent gesture we had shared ever since she became my assista
Santino AlexiosI chose Sokaris at sunset, while the last rays of sunlight still painted the castle windows orange and half the hall remained locked in whispered debates over whom they should swear allegiance to for a single night.It had not been an easy decision, nor was it one I had made with a clear head.Vladimir offered numbers, resources, and a network of allies woven together through promises that sounded far too good not to have traps hidden beneath them.Sokaris, on the other hand, offered nothing but brutal honesty and the kind of silence a man shared only with someone he had decided, against all odds, to trust.“You know this doesn’t erase what happened between the two of you,” Kael warned me that morning as he sharpened his sword with a calmness that contrasted sharply with the storm building inside my chest. “Sokaris is still territorial, proud, and probably jealous of every second you spend near her.”“I know,” I replied without taking my eyes off the place where the go
Maddison Spencer-BennettI woke up with an idiotic smile plastered across my face; one I couldn't manage to erase even after staring at myself in the mirror three times.“If you keep smiling like that, people are going to start thinking you've been possessed by an especially cheerful spirit.”Kate said it as she walked into my bedroom without knocking, as usual, carrying a tray of fruit that she placed on my vanity.“Are you going to tell me what happened last night, or are you planning to keep floating around the palace as though nothing happened?”“Nothing happened,” I lied, feeling the heat rise to my cheeks.[Lie, lie, lie,] Kallie sang from somewhere inside my mind, sounding just as unbearably pleased as I felt. [Kiss me again, Santino. Oh, please, kiss me again.]“Shut up,” I muttered, although I couldn't stop my smile from growing wider.Kate raised an eyebrow, giving me the look that clearly said she had no intention of leaving until I talked. She had perfected that expression
Santino AlexiosThe howls took hours to die down that night, long after Maddison had returned to the palace, the taste of my mouth still lingering on her lips.I remained beside Selene’s Mirror, watching the last silver ripples dissolve across the still surface of the water. For what felt like the hundredth time, I found myself wondering when, exactly, I had stopped pretending.I took her there because I needed her to see it. Not the forest. Not the lake. Not my pack’s rituals… Me. I needed Maddison Spencer-Bennett to know the part of me that no one else had ever touched, not even the men who called themselves my blood brothers.I had planned that night the way a man planned a military operation: calculating every word, every silence, every gesture that needed to look spontaneous without actually being so.That was how I had trained. That was how I had survived twenty-five years while hiding what I truly was. But somewhere between the glowing roots and the way her hand had trembled be
Maddison Spencer–BennettAfter my devastating date with Sokaris, I didn't have particularly high expectations for whatever Santino had planned. My heart was still carrying the remnants of extinguished candles and words that had hurt far more than I wanted to admit.[If this one makes us cry too, I swear I'll rip his throat out, and then we'll see just how "ancient" he really is when he regenerates,] Kallie growled, still in a foul mood after the previous night."Don't promise things we aren't actually going to do," I replied as I finished adjusting the boots Kate had insisted on lending me. "Although I appreciate the enthusiasm."[I'm just saying that we already have one bitter god. We don't need a wolf ruining our night too,] Kallie muttered, crossing her paws. [Although, if I'm being honest, there's something about Santino I can't quite figure out. And coming from me, that's saying something.]I couldn't argue with that.No one in the palace seemed capable of reading Santino Alexios,
Maddison Spencer–BennettI had spent the entire afternoon trying to guess what kind of date a god of darkness and death could possibly plan, and none of my guesses had done anything to calm my nerves.[I bet he takes us to some cemetery and calls it romantic. Knowing him, I might even like it,] Kallie thought, peeking out with a curiosity that did absolutely nothing to settle my nerves.“You’re not helping,” I replied under my breath as I looked at myself in the mirror for what felt like the hundredth time.Kate laughed behind me as she finished fixing a rebellious strand of my hair.“Whatever it is, I doubt it’ll be boring. Sokaris doesn’t have a single boring bone in his body.”She was right, of course. Nothing about Sokaris was predictable, ordinary, or even remotely human. And yet, when he knocked on my door a few minutes later, dressed in a simple dark shirt instead of his ceremonial armor, something about the entire equation suddenly felt different.“No dramatic cape? No shirtle
Maddison Spencer-Bennett One drink… Two drinks… Too many drinks later... I opened my eyes as the light was coming through the curtains. As I did so, I realized that my head was resting peacefully on a bare, toned chest. I walked away slowly, trying not to panic, because reality was hittin
Maddison Spencer-Bennett. While I was talking to my mother, something inside me made me go into alert mode. I knew something would happen. At the moment I was about to answer Alonso, the door opened and the smell of the female who was entering the office made me see everything red. Suddenly, I f
Maddison Spencer-Bennett. I sighed deeply, because Leonardo was right. I had to choose. And honestly, it was a simple decision. I would not deny what the goddesses were destined for me. No, this was one of the easiest decisions of my life. I took Alonso’s hand, smiled at him and said, “There’s no
Maddison Spencer-Bennett.So now I found out that my parents knew who one of my mates was years ago. Why the fuck didn’t anyone say anything? I don’t believe at all that it’s because “they wanted to protect my childhood.” Bullshit!I got out of bed and asked him the question that was on my mind. “D
