All Chapters of My Royal Mate: Chapter 11 - Chapter 20

Morgan’s POV: Ryan and I walked out onto the patio, and for a moment, I forgot all about my aching feet.It was breathtaking.Just as I'd imagined, thousands of tiny lights illuminated the pathways surrounding Willow Grove, weaving through the trees and gardens like strands of fallen stars. Soft music drifted from the gazebo, blending with the conversations and occasional laughter of the guests gathered outside.Allison and Luna Gloria had outdone themselves.Usher, Alpha John, and Alex were gathered near the far side of the patio, speaking with several Alphas. Luna Gloria and Allison were entertaining a group of Lunas nearby.My BFF stood out effortlessly.Not only because she looked fucking gorgeous in her black gown, but because Allison was one of the youngest Lunas in the Eastern Kingdom. She carried herself with an elegance that made it easy to forget the same woman had spent the afternoon torturing me at a shopping mall.Thankfully, I found my own little crowd.Doctors.Three p

Damian’s POV:One of our foreign allies had an emergency that required my immediate assistance.The timing couldn't have been worse.I had everything prepared to attend the thirty-first annual Wolf-Ball when I received the call, so I instructed Thomas, my Beta, to bring my luggage and formal attire with us to London.I wasn't planning on missing the Ball.Not if I could help it.This year's event was being hosted by the Crescent Moon Pack, and Bruce had been so adamant about our attendance that the bastard threatened to stick his claws up my ass if I found an excuse not to go.Not that I needed his encouragement.His threat was completely unnecessary.I intended to be there.The Wolf-Ball was more than another formal event where Alphas put on expensive tuxedos, Lunas wore extravagant gowns, and everyone pretended not to be evaluating everyone else's political alliances.It was tradition.More importantly, it was one of the few occasions when representatives from nearly every Pack in t

Morgan’s POV: His scent reached me before the door fully opened.Fresh citrus, amber, cedar, and vanilla.Fuck.My fingers curled into Alex's shirt.Kira whimpered inside me.This time, I didn't tell her to shut up.I couldn't.Because my body had already recognized him too.The tightness that had been crushing my chest for the last several minutes suddenly eased enough for me to take a deeper breath.One scent.That was all it fucking took.One breath of him, and somehow my body knew what my mind was still struggling to accept.King Damian stepped into the office.My heart skipped.Holy shit.He was just as beautiful as I remembered.Actually...No.That wasn't true.He looked different now.The terrifying gold that had consumed his eyes on the dance floor was gone. They were emerald green again, and without Bruce glaring through them, I could finally see him.King Damian Khallowells.My mate.He took one step toward me.Kira surged forward.I tensed.King Damian immediately stopped

What the fuck had she done to me?One look.That was all it had taken.One look into those beautiful ocean-blue eyes, and apparently every ounce of common sense I'd accumulated over twenty-three years had packed its bags and abandoned me.I was hers.Completely.Pathetically.Irrevocably fucking hers.And the most terrifying part?I wasn't even mad about it.Bruce had been practically jumping inside my head the moment I'd walked through those doors earlier tonight.Then Morgan's eyes had landed on me.I'd frozen.Her scent had reached me almost instantly.And Bruce had lost his fucking mind.So had I.One second, I'd been King Damian Khallowells, ruler of the Eastern Kingdom, perfectly capable of walking into a ballroom filled with hundreds of wolves without giving a shit who was watching me.The next?I was staring at a tiny blonde woman in an olive-green dress like she'd personally hung the fucking moon."Mate. Mine," Bruce rumbled.I swallowed."Yes. I know."But I knew more now tha

Morgan’s POV: Oh Goddess, I needed a cold shower.I hadn't gotten nearly enough sleep last night—or this morning, to be more accurate. I didn't get home until shortly after two, and even then, sleep had been impossible.Every time I closed my eyes, I saw emerald green.King Damian.His mouth.His hands.That fucking kiss.He had taken me completely by surprise, and Goddess help me, I had enjoyed every second of it.I didn't know what would have happened if Alex hadn't mind-linked me when Damian deepened the kiss.Actually, that was a lie.I had a pretty good idea.Heat had exploded low in my abdomen the second his mouth claimed mine, and I had never experienced anything remotely similar before. Damian's touch, his taste, his scent—everything about him affected me differently.And I fucking loved it.My body enjoyed it.My traitorous body had responded to him without consulting my brain first, leaving me aching for more long after we'd separated.That was the real reason I hadn't slep
