The women completely ignore us when we arrive at the fabulous villa.Magda briefly detaches herself from the company to show Ivor and me each our rooms. Fortunately, we sleep next door, so I can look pretty close for the man in case I need him for business. Again I notice how the little girl's eyes follow Ivor; she clearly has a young crush on the Chief Warrior. But he doesn't look back at her, walks straight to his room while the drivers take our bags. Once in my room, I take a hot bath and dress in formal pants and a shirt.A hand through my blond hair and I'm ready. Frankly saying, I'm starving. As a werewolf, I have a hearty appetite and this morning I missed breakfast. Ivor too actually, since we were rechecking the Queen's security. Ralph was uncompromising when he talked about Saray's protection, I could see in his demeanor toward this matter that he won't tolerate mistakes. And when Randall too came to interfere, I chose to be better safe than sor

After all the drama, it's time for business.I need to remind Ivor what our mission here actually is. Being angry about his unhappy mating is his personal business; work should not suffer because of that. And now, with the King-Mother's breath on my neck, I have no desire to hang around the women. The rest of the meal proceeds in silence, everyone processing the events of the last hour in private.I sigh deeply; Ralph will not take this well. He urged me to keep the atmosphere stress-free, to protect his pregnant mate from all things upsetting her. I have to do everything I can to correct the conditions here. Maybe when the women return from their shopping spree, they will be back in the good mood that prevailed before. When I finish eating, I apologize for having to get to work. I walk to Ivor's bedroom to get the man so we can leave for Conselho Construction to take care of business. When I try to knock on his bedroom door, my hand halts halfway up in t

This mating thing feels right.Now I understand Ivor and Ralph's urgent affection for their fated mate. Once you have her in your arms, you don't want to let her go. All those uncontrolled feelings running through you; adoration, lust and the desire to protect her from all the evil in the world. But then it struck me how remarkable it is that Ivor and I both found our mate within a day. For decades we talked about this, like Ralph we had a series of one-night stands. Not that we were really looking forward to their arrival, but we knew the day would come. I had promised to be open and honest with my fated. I would allow her to choose whether to stay with me of her own will. But I hadn't counted on a human mate. That brings up other issues I have to consider. I'll have to take it slow, there are a few issues I noticed with her that need to be straightened out before I introduce her into my world. For this moment, I am going to enjoy this wonderful feeling

I hold still, stroking her back and whispering reassuringly nothings in her ear.When I claim her lips again, I feel her slowly relax. "Go when you are ready, my love. I will wait for you," I encourage her softly. With her face still in a pained grimace, she nods. Quietly I wait for her to get used to the feeling of me inside her, nibbling her earlobe, sipping at the skin of her neck. One hand moves to her breast again and I tease her until she goes crazy with lust.Her walls start milking my cock and I barely hold on. Then she begins moving slowly and soon has built up a reasonable pace. Sweat beads on my forehead from my willpower to hold back. But that is short-lived. When I notice her movements becoming urgent, I pick it up from there and drive us on. Each time I feel my orgasm approaching, I pause and kiss her deeply until my urge subsides a bit and I'm able to move inside her again, deep and confident. But when she gasps in my ear as she clings to me, I can't continue this act.

I cry my eyes out in my bedroom.I will never forgive Eric for this. Why didn't he just wait until I finished speaking to the man, what was the rush for? Or was the man the danger he was talking about? My brain refuses to believe that. Dan man stared at me lovingly, I sensed that he couldn't wait to take me in his arms. I must have meant a lot to him in my earlier life, the passion in his eyes proved that. Is he perhaps the reason why I have no sexual feelings for Ralph? Was he my lover or so? Ralph feels like my best friend but not a lover. A soft knock on the room door pulls me out of my musings.Magda's scent approaches me. "Saray. Come, eat something. The babies need it," she urges softly. I smile, earlier she called my babies, pups just like everyone else. Without thinking, she adopted this, without asking questions. My friend unknowingly comes to embrace our werewolf culture. I get up from the bed and unlock the door. Cautiously she steps inside, he
