All Chapters of The Lost Royal: Chapter 11 - Chapter 20

He kissed me with a fierce hunger, and I felt myself getting lost in it again. As his incredible taste filled my mouth, I couldn't help but return it with a hunger I hadn't even known I'd felt. And it felt good. Too good, I realised, as he moaned softly, pressing his body closer to mine, and I tried to pull away. Surprisingly, he allowed me to, only to turn me around to face Haden, standing close to me, that same hungry look in his intense green eyes. Oh no, I thought to myself, suddenly realising what was happening. He smiled, and Saxon nudged me closer, pushing himself against me from behind as Haden cupped my cheek with one hand, moving closer and pressing his lips to mine. His was more tender, at first, but just like Saxon's, the heat built quickly, leaving me breathless and aching for more. And they gave it. Saxon's hands began wandering over me from behind, while his lips found the sensitive skin of my neck, trailing soft kisses along it, while his hot breath made me shiver an

Reluctantly, I nodded, without meeting their eyes. I could feel how much they needed this, and just couldn't bring myself to refuse them, though I knew I couldn't bring myself to stay, either. Not when Mama had been so adamant that I avoid all Lycans. The fear in her eyes at that moment was not something I'd seen in her before, and I knew she had her reasons for saying it, even if I'd never know what they are. I glanced up at the two of them, seeing both of them watching me with looks of uncertainty, and nodded briefly again. "Okay," I said quietly, "just until my birthday," and turned to look at the clothes Haden had brought in, busying myself with picking out some to put on. The answer seemed to satisfy them, and Saxon pulled me closer, gently nuzzling his face into the curve of my neck. "Thank you, pup," he said sincerely, before stroking my hair and kissing my cheek, then pulling off the rest of his clothes and heading for the bathroom himself. The sound of running water follo

Saxon's threatening growl made her take a step backwards, "They're here?!" he asked, and she shook her head. "Not yet, but the first group arrived about an hour ago, and they're all taking about it," she said, and he started to stand. Haden gently placed a hand on his arm, giving him a small shake of his head, "They're not here yet, Sax," he said in the voice that I knew had such a calming effect, and Saxon paused, looking at him. "Trin is just giving us a heads up, so we can plan and react accordingly when they are, right Trin?" Haden continued, looking at her, and she nodded quickly again. "Exactly, I thought you should know as far in advance as possible," she agreed, and Saxon sighed, sitting back down and staring at her for a long moment. "Thank you, Trin," he said after a while, and she bowed her head towards him, before giving me an apologetic smile and turning to leave. Haden and Saxon fell into silence again as they continued eating, but I noticed their eyes going occasiona

We stayed there a while, simply holding each other in silence, until Saxon sighed heavily, reluctantly pulling away and redressing himself. "Alpha duties?" Haden asked, as Saxon reached down to pull my underwear and jeans back up too, gently caressing my legs as he did. He sighed again, "Yeah, Abigail is here, and already throwing a fit, apparently." I tensed immediately, turning pale at the mention of her name, "She's here? I mean.. already?" I asked, feeling sick at the thought of seeing her again. Haden frowned at me, looking at me with concern as he re-buckled his belt. "Yeah, most should be here by tonight," Saxon said, and Haden's eyes went blank for a brief moment. Silence followed, before Saxon suddenly wrapped his arms around my waist from behind, nuzzling his face against me. "She has no power here, pup. Or anywhere," he whispered softly, "She can't hurt you anymore." Haden nodded agreement, reaching up to cup my face, stroking my cheek with his thumb, "And if she tries,

I watched Susanna calmly walk back inside, and turned to Haden, "What did she mean, about not being what she expected?" I asked, and he just shrugged again, though there was a hint of amusement on his face. "Haden?" I prodded again, as he took my hand and began to lead me around the enormous building, and he sighed softly. "Susanna is.." he began, seeming to consider his words thoughtfully, "well.. she doesn't miss much. And she doesn't let on even a fraction of what she's noticed. She understands more about the people and happenings in this pack than anyone could ever know." I frowned, thinking of my first impression of her, and wondered how many others saw her perfectly preened appearance, and dismissive, haughty kind of attitude, and saw little else beyond it. Haden glanced at me, then gave a soft laugh, "You'll find a lot of people aren't quite what they first seem here," he said gently, "Like Saxon, and his reputation. Hell, even his demeanor with most people.. it's not who he r
