31.

He didn't know what woke him up but he didn't regret it one bit as he saw the most marvelous sight before him. Nikolai fell asleep on his stomach with his head turned to the right while Sienna was in the same position but her face was now towards him. It was then he realized their hands were linked together. He muffled a soft chuckle as he figured out his girl was a wild sleeper and found it all kinds of adorable. Her hair was in a big mess and one of her legs was outside of the blanket, a light snore escaped her and Nikolai laughed into his pillow. "Naturally sweet," he said softly easing his way out of the bed. Using the phone beside the bed he ordered breakfast to be delivered to his room and be left on the balcony. Glancing back to his mate, he was reminded of their night together, he was glad he waited for her. His first time was magnificent he summed it up to have shared that moment with someone he loved so much. They made love till the early hours of the morning and he didn't feel tired one bit. Just thinking of her, his manhood was getting firm.

Gently Nikolai removed the blanket from her naked body, he bit his lip as his eyes roam over her small ankles, and leading up to shapely calves and legs, her skin was a natural tanned color. Her hips were wide, outlining her luscious rump. "I want you so bad" he groaned straddling her. He began to massage her rear as he placed butterfly kisses along her spine. Soft moans escaped Sienna's lips as she came out the remnants of her sleep, "Nicky" she called out pushing her butt closer to his manhood. Using one hand he felt her core and was delighted when he found her wet, positioning himself by her entrance he thrust into her with one sharp move. Sienna cried out in pleasure going on all fours, leaning over while plowing into her in and out he nibbled the back of her neck sending a shiver down her spine.
"Faster" she cried out clutching the sheets. Wrapping her hair around his hand he tugged her head back and gave her what she asked for. The sound of their bodies meeting together, the sounds of their harsh breathing, the erotic feeling of having each other in the most intimate way. Their heated bodies were canvases for the sunlight stripping in through the closed windows. Nikolai felt Sienna tightening around his cock and went harder and faster into her. His name was heard from her lips in pure ecstasy, letting go of her hair he gripped her hips. "I'm cumming baby." she whimpered. He knew and held back so she can find her release, it wasn't long before she arched her back and cried out his full name, and seconds later she successfully milked him of his seed. Exhausted they fell onto the bed, "Morning angel" he breathed out kissing her cheek.



A quick shower and a heated make-out session after, the mated couple were having their breakfast on the balcony. Clad in Nikolai's hockey t-shirt and his briefs, Sienna sat hugging her knees chewing on bacon while looking out at the meadows at the distance. The sun was bright, cool breeze flowed around them, birds and butterflies flitted about, it was going to be a lovely day. Looking across to her mate, she smiled lovingly at him, coffee in one hand, morning paper in one while his glasses were sliding down his nose. Grabbing at a loose grape, she stretched across and pushed up his glasses. "Thank you," he said slightly blushing and putting down the papers. "No problem. What time would you be back home?" she asked digging into her pancakes.

"I'm taking a day off. I am not ready to share you with the world yet," he said also eating his pancakes. She tried to hold back the smile his words caused and kept her head low, Nikolai saw and shook his head. "Cool. So what do you want to do today?" she asked nonchalantly even though inside she was screaming with joy.

"How bout we go for a run? I just realized I haven't seen Lana since we met. Also, Vadim wants to see her." he responded.

"That'll be great."

"Now that we mated... uhhhhh.... we can move to the bigger room. Do you want to design it? It's customary to move to another room after fully mating." he continued. Sienna leaned over and kissed his lips softly then pulled back. "I would love to. Can I design it any way I want?" she asked excitedly.

"Yes. Just no pink" he shuddered. "I'm not making any promises" she teased. He laughed softly and continued to eat. They ate quietly enjoying the morning spring sun sending soft loving glances at each other.

After their breakfast was cleared away, they each went to change and they meet up in the hallway, they joined hands and let themselves out of the palace, successfully avoiding any of their friends.



Nikolai led her to the trail he normally used for his runs. Unofficially it was now theirs due to the fact that no one else ran on this trail. The trail took them through the wooded area then to the other side of the land, alongside the river which ended up at a secluded waterfall. "I'll shift here and place the clothes here in hidden storage," he said while taking his t-shirt off. Biting her lips, Sienna took in her mate and found herself up close and personal to him in a flash. He let out a shallow breath, it sent shivers down her spine as it brushed against her ear. "Angel, what are you doing?" he said lowly as she ran her fingers down his chiseled abs.

"Appreciating the body of my prince," she said going on her toes to reach his lips. Nikolai didn't hesitate to have her lips on his, their kiss got wild and passionate. He took off her tank top and quickly got rid of her shorts; bravely she slid her hand down his shorts and gripped his member which was becoming harder as she began her teasing. "Enna, please don't do this to me" he groaned out loud kissing her neck while caressing her breasts. "I want you so bad" she breathed out.

"Enough said" was all Nikolai muttered before getting rid of his shorts and sliding her panties aside before impaling her with his manhood. "Nicky" she cried out wrapping her legs around his waist as he braced them against a tree. It was amazing to him how much he wished to connect to her so badly, his sexual need for her was crazy. He was told of this by his parents but didn't expect that it would be that intense. Her core was wet and warm with her arousal, having her arms and legs secured around him he plowed into her, basking into her cries of pleasure, her calling his name. He was the only one that can bring her this much sexual bliss, only him. Claiming her lips once more he felt her nails digging into his back, "You're mine. Remember that." he growled into her ear, thrusting into her core faster. Sienna was close to the edge as she felt her lower regions tighten, her fingers gripped onto his hair slightly pulling his head to focus on his eyes. It was erotic as they both held each other's gaze, their breathing was labored, their bodies coated with sweat as both were close to their release. "I love you," Nikolai said as he felt her tighten around his length, Sienna was close, she begged him to go faster, giving in to her wishes he did. In two more thrusts, she shattered around his manhood, screaming out with a heart-pounding orgasm as she milked him. The tearing of tree bark beside her head was proof that it was big for him too.


"I love you too," she said in his ear as he lowered them to the ground.

"Outdoor sex, we can cross that off our list." Sienna joked. Nikolai chuckled lying back on the grass-covered ground watching the woman who was currently above him. They stayed silent memorizing each other's body, keeping it to mind, he motioned for her to lay beside him using his arm as a pillow. They didn't care for their nudity, they were comfortable in their own skin for them not to be ashamed. "Now that I claim you as mine. My Luna. My princess. Are you ready for it all?" he asked idly tracing patterns on her hip. "If I said that I wasn't nervous, scared and overwhelmed I would be lying because I am feeling all those things. Then I remembered that I won't be doing this alone. I have you by my side, just as you need me, I need you also." Her words brought so much comfort to him, he felt much more powerful with this woman with chocolate brown eyes by his side.

"We need each other," he said tucking a loose curl behind her ears. The sun rays that filtered through the leaves of the trees glimmered in her eyes making her eyes light as caramel. "We will be supportive of each other, be each other's biggest fan," she said tracing his jaw then lips. "A team" he confirmed smiling at her, remembering the story his father told him when he first met his mother.

"A team, Nicky and Enna," she said firmly. They spoke of her duties as Luna which was a refreshing course, Nikolai took it upon his self to warn her that her gifts should soon reveal itself. "As history dictates, mate to royal wolves discover elemental gifts. The last gift a mate to royal has accomplished was air. Prince Sean's mate discovered hers week after mating. As I was told by mama. Expect yours soon. When you do, I'll be the one training you." he made sure to cover enough bases with her.

"That would be an adventure besides that my Russian is good conversational wise and I need to start back training," she said sitting up. "Of course," he said before shifting to his side to give her his full attention. "I want to make you proud at the ceremony; I hope your pack accepts me." She was worried about that part; would they allow an American to become their Luna? "They don't really matter. I marked you, you are their Luna they cannot change that." he shrugged before kissing her lips. She was immensely pleased with his acceptance and faith in being the most respected pack's Luna. He saw her as his equal.

"Vadim grows restless, he wants time with Lana. I am sorry," he chuckled moving away from her a bit. Sienna watched in awe as Vadim shifted to his human form, his smile was different to Nikolai's, it was filled with confidence which can be mistaken as arrogance and unlimited power he knew no wolf lower than he can beat. "I am a blessed man to have you Enna," Vadim said placing a light kiss on her lips. Sienna had no time to answer as Lana wanted out; she wanted to be near her wolf mate. "Those eyes. Those gorgeous amber eyes. Shift for me my angel." he said huskily. Leaning forth and kissing his cheek, Lana shifted to her full wolf form. Vadim took in every transformation of her body. Her ears, her legs and her beautiful tanned body before him had shifted to a large she-wolf with striking golden eyes. He knelt before and closed his eyes in reverence as Lana nuzzled her snout against their mark. 'My love' she said softly as she began to lick his firm jaw. "I think it's our time to be with each other, yes?" he said smirking at her. Lana chuckled and stepped back sitting on her hind legs. He reached out and touched the white mark on her shoulder, traced it then smiled at her.

"The goddess surely chose the right one for me. You will be a wonderful Luna. You haven't changed," he said kissing her head before stepping back. Lana watched as he shifted into wolf form, she bowed as he stepped forward. Vadim's fur was black as night, his blue moonlight eyes shone brightly against his fur. Even though she was a large wolf, her size didn't compare to her mate's. He circled around her, pressing his body intimately to hers. Lana felt small compare to him but never unworthy, his presence made her feel powerful, it made her understand that she was his equal and he loved her dearly.

'I've waited for you for centuries. I watched wolves meeting their mates and longed for you. Mother said you were waiting for me too. Do you remember angel?' Vadim was pleading with her to remember their past. The words he spoke to her was true, the Goddess won't lie. He sat before her his eyes soften as she tried to piece his words together.

'Mother said it would all come back after we mate. You saved me. Please remember' his deep voice was laced with desperation as Lana shook her head in utter confusion. Memories of her being sent to Sienna and how their bond grew came back to her at an alarming speed. She tried to focus on Vadim but his eyes were all that she saw. Screams of humans, painful howls of wolves, the clashing of metal against another, the numerous sounds were painful to her head. It deafened her. In a distance she heard both Nikolai and Vadim calling out to her, her human was crying out in pain within her sanctuary. Lana howled in pain stumbling away from her mate, he made a step towards her to help her but she didn't want to be near him, it was because of him she was in so much pain.

'NO! Please. Don't' she cried out to him. Looking at him one last time, she saw how her actions broke the high alpha. She was confused as to what she was seeing, what she was hearing. She knew that she was never in any war, any fight with humans and wolves together. He did this. Anger filled her as she turned over his words in her head.

'I am sorry. I was trying.... Lana.' he called out his once strong confident voice was now filled with regret and desperation. Nikolai was beyond angry at what Vadim tried to do, he warned his wolf it was too soon but Vadim wanted to have the same feeling his human felt. Vadim loved Sienna but the love between Lana and himself was minor compared to their humans.

'I need to be alone' was the last thing she said to him before disappearing deeper into the trees.

He was about to go after but his human's order to stay put halted his tracks. 'She needs us Niko' he pleaded keeping track of the trail her scent left.

'I know. I need her too but we pushed her into this. We should have waited, my friend' Nikolai said with a heavy heart. They both felt their mate's confusion and fear over their link but knew for her best interest to give her some space.

'I wanted her to remember that night. Her eyes haunted me for centuries. Knowing that we met before. Knowing she saved my life. Knowing she was my destined. It hurt when she could not remember.' Vadim lay on the grass and whimpered thinking of that horrible night and his beautiful strong-willed mate.

'She will, my friend. I promise. Our mate will soon know the whole truth soon.'
