Chapter 36
As if in a dream Vincent was standing before me in the tub. He pulled me into his arms and the touch cooled me. Our normal tingling sensation had changed to a cool touch to fight the heat.
"He is the one," Sasha said. "Only a true mate's touch would not burn worse."
"Filli, I am not sure I can control myself. Do you want me to leave? I was on my way to see you when Eric asked me to tell me you were in heat. I could sense something was wrong with you. But now that I am here, I am not sure I can control myself." Vincent's eyes were turning black, allowing Marcus to take over.
"I will leave." He said as he put me on the bed. Once his touch left, the heat came back.
"I don't want you to leave." I crawled to the edge of the bed and grabbed his hand. "I want you to stay. I want to be your mate."
"Are you sure it is not just the heat talking." A look of concern washed over his face.
"I am sure." With that he came back to bed. His touch cooled my skin. His kiss was refreshing, and his hands started to roam over my body. He grabbed my hips and sat me down on him. This made the heat in my core reduce.
I began to move, rocking my hips in time with the waves of the boat. I picked up speed as Vincent took my b****t into his mouth. I threw my head back and groaned in pleasure. His hands began to guide my hips, lifting them up and bringing me down hard. "Filli, are you ready to be marked as mine? I want you to be sure." He said, slowing a bit as I continued to grind on him.
"Yes, I am your mate and will be your Luna. I love you, Vincent." With that he flipped me, I was lying back on the bed with him kneeling between my legs. He began to quicken his pace. I was ready to climax. As he spilled into me and I came as well just as I was at my height of pleasure, he lifted my back. I tilted my head and he plunged his fangs into my neck. I returned and marked him as well. This was the best feeling my heat had subsided for the moment.
"I love you Filli, My perfect Mate," Vincent said. I smiled at him and curled into him to sleep.
Before I drifted, I thought, "Sasha was he our true mate, are you still here?"
"Yes, I think so. Rest, now the heat will be back but Vincent can help you keep it in check. At some point you will want to check you magic to make sure it is still there," Sasha said.
At that moment, Vincent wrapped his arms around me and kissed my head and I drifted off into a deep sleep.
My heat lasted three days. I did still have my magic. It seemed to come more naturally now. Being with Vincent allowed for some relief when the worst of the heat came. We didn't stay on the boat. Instead, we headed into the small town on the mainland. It was a human town and Vincent rented a house deep in the woods so we could have privacy.
We even let Sasha and Marcus have their time together. After I shifted back, I found light bite marks all over my body. "I guess you played rough," I said to Sasha.
"Yes, sorry next time we will be better. It was our first time and we had been waiting so long. Well, Marcus had been waiting so long."
"I am going to kill Marcus for hurting you," Vincent said. As he walked into me changing
"I am fine, I will heal." I said, reaching up to kiss him. "I am glad they got out and had fun before we had to go get Katie."
"You think you are done with your heat? Even a mated wolf may have some trouble with unmated wolves during heat," Vincent said.
"I believe I am done, and I need to get Katie. I know you linked Eric and he is taking care of her but it is time we go home." Vincent smiled at me as I referenced Violet Moon as home.
"I think it will not be a warm welcome. They had envisioned a few things going differently. Mainly me mating Cole."
Vincent growled. "Do I need to kill another wolf to keep you?"
I gave him a sideways look. "Not if what I have planned will work. It will help everyone if they agree. If not, I may have to force them to agree."
"You can do that?" Vincent asked.
"I can and Katie can change their emotions about it. I would prefer them just to agree," I said.
"Me too. Have you ever used that on me?" Vincent looked at me suspiciously.
"I haven't had to, but don't you step out of line," I said playfully.
He wrapped me in a big hug. "I will have to show you the cabin when we return to the pack. It is where my mother and father would go when she was in heat. Now let's go get our girl."
I smiled at him, and we took the boat back to the Royal's Island. As I suspected, our welcome back was not met with smiles. We were met by Eric and about 40 warriors. Eric came to help us off the boat.
I gave him a big hug. Vincent growled at me. I ignored him, of course. When I pulled back, we both said "Sorry" at the same time.
"I am sorry I acted that way. It is instinct. But I see it worked out I the end. You decided to be our Luna," Eric said. He was right. My marks were wonderful. When wolves mate, their mark turns into a tattoo on my neck right above my clavicle was a quarter moon with two wolves. The black of the moon had violet sparkles in it and the wolves were white and black. Vincent had a similar one.
"I might not be your Luna," I said.
"I am glad you have a plan. Can you let me know what it is?" Eric said.
"No luck she won't even tell me." Vincent said as we were put in the back of the SUV and taken to the Palace.
"You are to go straight to the King and Queen. Cora, Katie and Cole will be there as well," Eric said. "The queen understands what you had to do but the king is mad as hell that bested his son and refused to pick him like he wanted." "You are to go straight to the King and Queen. Cora, Katie and Cole will be there as well," Eric said. "The queen understands what you had to do but the king is mad as hell that bested his son and refused to pick him like he wanted." "I figured that." I said, leaning on Vincent's shoulder. "How are you and Cora?"
"Cora is great. We get along really well but her father has brought in the Alpha from the dragon pack to sway her away." Eric said growling. It must really hurt him to have found his mate and not be able to get her to take a chance on him. We were brought in front of the King and Queen. Cole looked at my neck and then at his feet. Katie ran to me and gave me the biggest hug. I could tell she was using her magic to lift the spirits of Cole and tame the King's rage. "Katie. Don't use your magic for this." I whispered. "Only use it if needed. People should have a right to feel what they feel."
She nodded and went back to Cole and held his hand. I knew she had another crush, but I hope this time it doesn't end in heartbreak. The sooner we could go back to Violet Moon the better.
"So, I see you have made your choice." The king said. "You will be Luna of Violet Moon. Not a princess and future queen."
"That is where you are wrong," I said. "I am a princess. Your book confirms it." The guards took a few steps closer to us. The king stood and was mad. I could feel Vincent preparing for a fight. Sasha was on edge as well.
"I was thinking what is the going price for a mate?" I aimed this at the king. "I hear that you have brought another Alpha here to entice Cora away from her chosen mate. Is it a pack? Who must you be to be good enough for a royal?" "Filli, I don't think I like your tone or your accusation," he said. "Who are you to talk to me this way?" He had the guards grab me. Kaite started to cry. I reached out with my powers and stopped them.
"Is it a kingdom?" I said, walking up to him. "I am Fillian, Daughter of an Alpha and witch. Born to take over and to overthrow you."
"Filli, what are you doing?" Vincent said.
"What I was born to do," I said. "You see King, what you don't know is that, with my true mate I have accessed my full powers. All of them. I could easily take this kingdom." The king and queen exchanged looks.
"I however, do not want power or your kingdom. I want to leave in peace." I said, walking over to the table to sit down.
"You come in here threatening me and want to leave in peace?" The King growled.
I pointed to the seat across from me. "Like I said, what is the price of a mate? I would like to negotiate with you."NôvelDrama.Org © content.
