Mia's POV I didn't know why I decided to come to Clover in Alaska. I somehow felt like she would never harm me in any way. I felt comfortable with her, and I trusted her instantly. Yes, the moment that I saw her. She called me when one of her friends stopped me and looked at me as though he wanted to take me somewhere, and I also felt like I wanted to go to him. I had been in a horrible relationship, and if not for my friend Cindy, I would have ended up dead. I was abused by my ex-boyfriend, physically and mentally. He was very possessive. I felt happy about it at the beginning of our relationship, but after a month, he started to show his actual color. I love him, so I gave him my body and thought he was the one for me. He took care of me and gave me everything that I needed. At first, the s*x was good; he was gentle, and I liked it. He pleasured me in so many different ways until that one fateful night. He wanted to have s*x with me, along with the other woman. Of course, I couldn

Cindy's POV Two weeks later, we talked that day about my second chance in life and whether there would be a full moon in a few days. The palace has a library, and I spend my time there. I found out that I was going to suffer unbearable pain after that full moon because of the heat that I was going to experience. It was because I had not allowed Alder to mate with me when he had already marked me. I've read that because he marked me, my wolf is going to transform into a Lycan, too. Charles had marked Mia, but she was human and would only have her Lycan on the full moon as well. But because they already mated, she won't be able to experience the heat. I am really scared because, based on what I have read, I am going to feel this pain, and it will only disappear if Alder and I mate. I didn't want that to happen. I remember him telling me that I was going to mark him when he became more intimate, and he would have no choice but to do that, and I understand it now. It was not because o

Cindy's POV It was hard, and my body wanted Alder so much. It was like I was a s*x addict and couldn't do anything about it. I don't know what I would have done if not for him. My body was aching for his touch, and I now understand that if he had not been around, I would have just taken any man just to fu** me, and I would surely hate myself if that happened. Alder never left my side for more than two days, and we stayed in our bedroom the whole time. He only stopped pleasuring me when we needed to eat; goddess, I needed it the most. After every cum, I feel so tired, but I still want more. Just how do all women in their kind manage to handle this kind of situation? 'It was because they let their mates mate with them, that's why,' Masha said, 'You wanted that too?' I asked, 'There's nothing that I can do if you don't want it. I should be able to control you at some point, but you are so strong that I can't.' 'You wanted your mate so much?' 'It's not just me; every wolf or Lycan w

Cindy's POV It was really painful, and Alder's presence lessened it a bit. I diverted all my attention with his touches and the kiss that he gave me. I have to admit that I was thankful that he was with me because I didn't know what else I would do while I was experiencing that pain. When I finally shifted, I was surprised at the white paw that I was looking at. Then I felt my mate running his hand on my fur. It felt so good; his touch helped me get through the pain and soothed me afterward. I turned my gaze at him and found him looking at me. I don't know if I was still feeling angry at him, but one thing is for sure: I wanted him now. "You're magnificent, my love." He said. I tried to ignore him, but my heart fluttered even before I did that. Then I saw him start to take off his clothes, so I growled at him, thinking he was up to something, but he just laughed at me before he shifted. His beast was as dark as the night, and he was beautiful as me. I don't know if I was all whit

Alder's POV We did it, and she allowed me to take her fully. I guess it will be the beginning of a good start. I was her first, and I was amazed at her because she was another soul in Clover's body. I knew nothing about her besides that she was challenged and rejected by her mate, but she knew that she was pure, as she told everyone in the Raven Claw Pack. I am proud of her, which made me feel guilty that I didn't wait for her. But I shouldn't think about that now because I can't do anything about it either. The least I could do was teach my future kids about this when the time comes so they will have an idea about what may come to them. It didn't matter to me if she was no longer pure, but being the first man in her life was a grace from the moon goddess. I am not shallow, and I just appreciate her effort. I mean their effort. Being king is not easy, and the council had been urging me to take a chosen mate to strengthen my reign. I am already strong, but I believe in them too. That
