All Becomes Clear In Time
Six Years Later
Once again there is a grand celebration in the Kingdom. The biggest after the Princes' birthday bash.
Elena, the Queen's special friend, turns eighteen today and will start her duties in the Palace. But far more important is her mating with Ivor, the Chief Warrior. The couple has long waited for this day after the Moon Goddess made them mates at Elena's twelfth. Ivor has guided her into adulthood and supported her where he could during her studies in Human Town. But years ago, it was announced that the girl who had now grown into a gorgeous woman would return as the Queen's Secretary. Last night she arrived on the Royal Jet, but no one had seen or spoken to her since then, not even Ivor.
But the Chief Warrior was not going to be put out of business.
He organized their acceptance and mating ceremony on her anniversary. A lavish ball awaits his mate. In Human Town, he bought her an amazing diamond engagement ring. He is used to showering her with expensive gifts but this ring takes on a special meaning; it is proof of their union. In addition, he has arranged a romantic dinner for two and the decorated Maserati is already ready to drive them there. Everything begins when Elena appears on the lavishly adorned stage in the afternoon for the Kingdom to sing to her.
Ivor waits impatiently on the stage while the Lycans watch him amused.
From all sides he is teased. "Ivor, finally you don't have to take cold showers anymore," someone calls out to him. "Man, what do you do if she turns out not to be your mate after all? Should I get you another she-wolf then?" another male teases him. "Hey, check to make sure she's not someone else's destined, dude." Ivor ignores the teasing, his eyes fixated on the door his mate must come through.
And then the Royals show up.
The older Royals with the Princes in their arms take their seats on the stage. Last of all, Magda and Esis step in and sit right behind the King and Queen thrones. Esis was promoted to the Special Delegate of the Palace several years ago, while Magda assists the Lunas Foundation as Secretary. What seems like an eternity to Ivor, Rain and Jasper step on the platform. He swears their long-windedness is deliberate to rattle his nerves.
The assembled crowd begins to sing loudly for the birthday lady.
Many eyes are on Ivor, everyone curious to see how his connection with Elena will turn out. And then the French doors open again, everyone holds their breath. A beauty with a cloud of shiny black hair comes out. She is wearing a fiery red sleeveless evening dress. Her makeup is perfectly applied, focusing on her full red painted lips. Confidently, she walks forward, smiling with her hands to her sides as many attendees shout congratulations to her.
"Has anyone seen my mate?" she exclaims teasingly.
A storm of laughter erupts, no one can hold their ground. "MATE! MINE," Ivor's wolf now clamors forcefully and rushes forward. Standing in front of the laughing Elena, he stares at her first before taking her tightly in his arms. "MINE, MINE," he keeps shouting. The crowd goes crazy with happiness; cheering and clapping fill the area. Jasper and Rain also cannot hide their joy and laugh widely. "Mark her, mark her, mark her," the crowd now screams. Ivor captures his mate's lips, kisses her deeply and with relief. "Finally, baby," he whispers to her. "This day was creeping near. But at last, you are in my arms". Elena clutches his face between her hands. "Did you doubt this moment to come? We are meant for each other, Ivor. The wait is over". In love, they stare into each other's eyes.
"Are you going to mark me?" she asks him.
Ivor shakes his head in the negative. "Nope. That's a private matter between us. I'll mark you when I make you mine. Tonight," he tells her meaningfully. Elena throws her head back, laughing as she clings to him. "Can't wait," he replies seductively.
And then Jasper steps forward and clears his throat to get their attention.
"Ivor has a busy schedule with his mate, so we're not going to keep you guys hanging here," he states before another thunderous laughter erupts in the hall. "I want to present you with your official appointment documents, Elena. And the family has some gifts waiting for you. Can you take those in before your mate carries you off?" he jokes further. Ivor has no intention of having her far from him. With his arm around her waist, Elena accepts the congratulations and gifts from family and friends.
An hour later, Ivor holds Elena's hand and leads her to the waiting car.
They lunch in a romantic atmosphere with eyes only on each other. After that, they leave for the surprise Ivor has ready for his mate. In recent years he has built a house for them. Unnoticed, he has tapped into Elena's preferences for the furnishings.
When they arrive at the enormous house, Elena looks at him in surprise.
"Don't we have to live in the Palace?" she asks. Ivor nods. "Yes, our roles require us to be near the King and Queen. But if we want time to ourselves without third parties around us, we can retire to our own place here. Like right now." Smiling extensively, Elena falls around his neck. "Yes, that's awesome. Oooh, Ivor, I'm so glad we made it. That was a long time waiting," she sighs happily. After another deep kiss, Ivor gets out and walks to her door. Bridal style, he takes her out of the car and carries her into the house.
"This is the door of no return, Elena. Once we are mated, separation is out of the question. Then you will be mine, all your life," he whispers to her longingly.
"I can't wait," Elena answers him again.
And an evening of passion ensues for the two after years of longing.
At the peak of their desire, Ivor sinks his fangs into Elena's neck, marking her as his, forever. ....
