Nothing Can Stop Me
Secretary Eric's POV
I didn't go to that clownish display at the airport.
Ralph, the King of the Royal Kingdom of Werewolves, will stand there, looking like a fool there. This double mating is nothing to me, I don't understand what this is supposed to lead to. Jasper is the real King, he is the father of the pups Saray is carrying and he has had her with him for the past month. So, Ralph is just a vulgar horn bearer, he holds a title with no substance. Even my position is shaky especially now that I have no successor. At worst, Saray's sons will choose a new secretary outside my bloodline.
But I am not named Eric if I do not come up with a solution for that.
If I get a woman from Saray's family, mate and have pups with her, the King will have no choice but to keep my bloodline in office. Both Kings, either Ralph or Jasper. It's called checkmate. Yes, that's a perfect idea. Saray has two sisters, Ruth is already mated. The other one is the eldest and never visited the Kingdom. She is the one I'll take to mate and soon before she finds her fated. I wait for my chance. From the balcony, I see the high rankings from Storm Forest entering the Palace. Ralph has snatched Saray from Jasper's clutches; the man looks distraught without his mate beside him. But there is nothing he can do, he is obliged to share. That loser.
And then I see her.
The resemblance to Saray and Ruth is striking. Ruth's mate arrived last week with his father-in-law. The other sister walks beside her and I take a good look at her. Yes, she is good to go for me. Actually, I fall for blondes, but looking at this woman's seductive moves, I think she is ready for whatever I plan with her. Her hips are wide and breasts full, good enough to bear and feed my pups. Yes, she is the one I need. My mouth already waters at the prospect of mating with this vamp. She has no chance of eluding me now that she will stay in the Palace.
But then, only now do I see a blonde head behind Jasper.
Her scent hits me like a whirlwind. From this distance, I can smell the delicious vanilla blend with rosemary. My wolf runs wild, he howls in my head. 'Eric, MATE! MATE, Eric,' Xin now clamors to my utter shock. A second chance mate! I'm not really waiting for that. I sharpen my Lycan sight and take a closer look at her. She's a warrior.
Selene, really!
What am I supposed to do with a warrior? What can she do for my family and me? Nope, not for me. The black-haired one, Saray's sister, that's who I must have.
Suddenly Blonde looks up and our eyes lock.
She probably caught my scent too and that horny Xin has reached out to her wolf. Her eyes darken, her wolf is on edge, alerting her to her mate. Ooohh well, maybe I can have a taste of her, after all, she is my mate and is entitled to at least a good ride with me. Yes, tonight she will get laid, Xin is looking forward to it too. I give her a wink before settling my eyes again on the black orb that will be my chosen mate. She is standing too close to Alpha Jasper for my liking, looking at him in love. Well, this chosen of mine needs some directives, she needs to learn how to behave.
After another glance at my fated, I retreat from the balcony.
Two prey in one day, that's a milestone. But I love challenges. There is work waiting for me in the office that I must finish before Saray's coronation tomorrow. The King-Mother has organized the event perfectly, I now just need to complete the paperwork and everything can go through as planned. 'Ivor, check the name of the gorgeous black one that came from Storm Forest. She is Saray's sister. She's mine,' I order Ivor. The man, of course, is again preoccupied with his little mate. He rushed to Human Town yesterday to buy an expensive gift for her. This Chief Warrior is true to be regretted. There is nothing left of his Cassanova lifestyle. All his free time is spent on FaceTime with a teenager. Not me, nah!
'Eric! No man, don't go there. That's Saray's sister, you can't pull your stunts with her,' the man responds, shocked, 'Saray won't go easy on you for this, it could all go wrong for you. Point your dirty arrows at someone else. Not the Queen's family.' I growl menacingly, not used to my words being contested. Ivor oversteps his privileges with me. Since when is a warrior allowed to refuse orders? 'Ivor, don't piss me off. I intend to take her as my chosen mate. It's not a fling,' I tell him, annoyed. 'At least she's an adult. I never court teenagers,' I finally bite to him.
'Your chosen mate? Man, do you even know how to handle a mate? You're not capable of having a mate. You're more vicious than any warrior in this Kingdom,' he retorts me. 'Remember how the last mate of yours ended? I tell you, stay away from the Queen's family. None of the Kings are going to be able to save your head if Saray turns against you.'
I am done with this man.
'Chief Warrior, I must have the name in five minutes. Know your place!" I roar and close the mind link with a beat. Dismayed, I continue my work. No one will be able to keep me from my plan and when Saray finally figures out what's going on, her sister is already mine and there's nothing she can do about it. I have it all figured out already. A one-night stand with my fated and a mating ceremony with my chosen.
Fixed! ...
