[P.O.V. Adriana Braxton]
Angry is what I'm feeling right now. I have been leading the Silver Moon Pack all by myself. For the last month and a half. The moment my Mate shows up, he thinks he can send me away from the battlefield? Well, he's got another thing coming. When I get out of here, he is going to feel my wraith.
When the announcement came that the battle was over. That we also won everyone down here cheered. Leaving the Sanctuary to their families. The packhouse was a huge mess. Walking out the front door, the sight I'm seeing broke my heart. There were families with joy and sadness. Hugging and kissing one another, also crying over the ones they lost. The anger I was feeling melted into worry. Searching everywhere for Zyston, I couldn't seem to find him.
Until I spotted him talking to Tyler, they were looking at the fallen Warriors. I couldn't feel anything he was feeling. His side of the mating bond was blocked. Which only fueled my anger back up. Leaving the field he was in, I go and help the wounded. Helping anyway I can to help everybody.
All-day Zyston hasn't said one word to me. He would only give me glances, or sometimes he would be watching me. Like he was making sure I was okay. Also, throughout the day, my arm has healed thanks to Raina's werewolf healing ability.
After a day and a half of hard work, tonight, everyone came to the battlefield. Where we burned the bodies of our Warrior's and the Dark Army. Zyston gave a wonderful and emotional speech to those who lost loved ones; after that, everyone celebrated the victory and sacrifice of those who died.
Zyston didn't stay for the celebration. Instead, he went inside the packhouse. Chasing after him, he went to our bedroom we had here. Following him into the bathroom, he was getting ready to get undressed and shower. Looking at his body, he has dried and fresh blood all over him. Bruises and wounds also dirt. He looks tired and very worn out.
"What makes you think you can take me off the battlefield? Why are you not talking to me? Did I do something wrong?.." Continuing my ranting, his face was blank and a little surprised from my outburst. Just letting out everything I have felt since he left and arrived. He didn't say one word; instead, he just listened to me. At the end of my ranting, I was sobbing from how much I missed him.
Looking at the floor with tears making my eyes blurry. Strong sparks touch my arm, then my whole body. He was hugging me while crying. Looking up at him with teary eyes, he uses thumbs to wipe the tears away.
"I never meant to hurt you, Adriana... I'm so sorry, and I know that I can never make up for your hurt... I will never stop loving you no matter the circumstances. I missed you too, more than you know.. You have grown, Adriana. You no longer fear being a leader or standing up for yourself. Because of this, you have become an even more amazing Queen. I don't doubt your ability as a leader. There a reason why I took you off the battlefield." He says lovingly, tenderly, and also with seriousness.
"Then what was the reason?" My voice croaks. He had this look like he didn't know if he should tell me.
"Your pregnant, Adriana." What he said made my heart sink and also sing with joy.
"This not funny, Zyston," Removing myself out of his embrace.
That when he tells me about how rare a turned werewolf heals their human. All, also my scent and how it's different. We also got into the conversation about him leaving again. To help the Stone God Kingdom. There was a lot of yelling and crying. Sitting on the bathroom counter with him standing between my legs. We were hugging each other tightly.
"When do you leave?" Asking with a heavy heart.
"Tomorrow afternoon." Pulling my head back to look at him. Green Emerald staring into Stormy grey. 'That soon?'
"Then, you better make this a damn good night, Zyston Woods."
"I plan on it, Adriana Braxton." Placing his hand behind my head. Pulling my head towards his, pressing our lips together. 'Holy damn! I have missed his lips on mine.'
Pulling my t-shirt off over my head and tossing it to the floor. His hands roam all over the body, undoing my bra next. Taking his shirt off and tossing it to the floor. Pressing is naked upper bodies together. Deepening the kiss with our tongues dancing with each other.
Stripping the rest of each other clothes off. Touching each other like we can't get enough. He turns on the shower and lets the hot water wash our bodies. Scrubbing and rinsing the dirt out of my hair. Using some soap and a scrubby, he washes the dirt and dry blood off my body. Letting his hands also explore my body.
Using the same scrubby and soap, I wash his hair and body. Fully clean, he presses his lips all over my body, kissing, sucking, and nipping. In all the right places making my womanhood pulse for him. Sparks dancing and singing all over on my skin like crazy.
Picking me up with my legs wrapped around his body. Pressing his hard member inside of my wet walls. Both let out moans and find our rhythm; we make love from slow and lovingly hard and fast. Right before we find our release, we both bite into each other marks. Making our orgasms even more pleasurable.
It didn't stop in the shower, though. We continued to touch and have sex on our bed, bedroom couch, and anywhere we could. Never wanting to let each other go. Laying on our bed after having sex again. Tangled with one another, looking at each other.
"How long will you be gone for?" Asking with sadness laced in my voice. He takes a deep breath in and lets out. Moving a strand of hair out of my face.
"I don't know know.." He answers honestly.
"Will we even see each other again?" My heart is weighing heavy.
"I honestly don't know. I love to think we will." A tear escapes and rolls down my cheek. "Please don't put yourself through this. Everything is going to work out. Alright?" He wipes the tear off my cheek.
Nodding my head in agreement, he pulls me closer to him. Kissing me lovingly and tenderly. Snuggling with one another, we both fall into a deep sleep.
[P.O.V. Thodol Alcott (Future King of the Stone God Kingdom.]
Sitting in the family room reading the newspaper. With my wife sitting next to me reading her book and sipping on some tea. Enjoying the quiet, that was until my general Talos comes in rapidly.
"Thodol, a messenger from the Moon Goddess Kingdom. Sent by the future Alpha King himself. Is here to see you; he says it's urgent." He whispers in my ear.
"Then send him in." Commanding him. He nods his head and leaves the room.
"Thodol, is everything alright?" My wife, Glorna, asks me worriedly.
"I honestly don't know."
A young werewolf kid walks in behind Talos. He looked like he was 19 to 20 years old. He looked beaten and dirty like he came from war or something. He bows to me as if I'm already royal.
"King Thodol, My King Zyston, has sent me here with a message. He said it is too dangerous and serious to talk over the phone or video chat."
"I see, and what is this message?" He hands me an envelope with a seal on it, the Moon Goddess symbol. Opening the envelope, pulling out the letter, and reading it.
It explains about the Dark Army attacking his Kingdom and how they're coming for mine next. Letting me know that as my ally. He is on his way over here to help me defend my Kingdom. After reading the letter, I look up at the boy.
"What your name, boy?" Asking him.
"Xander Mills, Sir." He answers back.
"When will your Alpha be here?"
"He said with a day or two."
"Alright, Sense war is now on my front door, and your Alpha and Pack are on their way. You can stay here inside my home till they get here, then your outside with them." Giving me a "yes sir," I look over to Talos. "Tomorrow, we will put up tents for our guest."
"Yes, sir." He nods his head and leaves. The werewolf kid follows behind him.
Finally left alone again, picking up my newspaper and starting reading it.
"Thodol, what are you plan on doing about the war?" My wife grabs my hand.
"What any other King would do, Fight." My wife sadly huffs and leaves the family room.
