I burst into hysterical laughter. I should be embarrassed, but dang it, he is so hilarious. I would never have expected the renowned Prince Eric to be such a dork. And he is so cute and hot too. Ah, I have it bad for him. My eyes trail over him again, ogling down from his athletic body to his long, perfectly shaped legs…

And that butt!

Oh, and his fingers, those long fingers that can tease and pleasure me endlessly.

Dang it, now I am definitely turned on.

“Eric,” I breathe out. “Come to bed.”

He’s obviously noticed my change of mood because his eyes are darker now, staring lustfully at me. He is next to me in an instant, grabbing my ankles and yanking me forward and into his arms. I wrap my legs around him, my fingers digging into his shoulders before claiming his lips hungrily. I take control, dominating him for a moment before he draws back with a smirk.

“Forget foreplay. Just take me,” I whisper, not even questioning anymore what’s gotten into me.

“Turn over,” he breathes out huskily.

I drop down onto my back before hurriedly rolling onto my stomach. He doesn’t even wait to undress me fully, just pulls my pants off. Eric settles himself between my legs, forcing me to spread them open wide. This is such a stark contrast to the gentle way he treated me last night, but fuck, am I turned on. The way he manhandles me just makes me even wetter.

He growls, grabbing my hips and pulling me up to him before entering me in one steady thrust. I moan at the feeling, grabbing the sheets between my fingers. Eric’s hand is between my shoulder blades pressing my upper body down, while his other hand moves to my lower back to keep my bum up. For a few minutes, the room is filled with our moans and the sound of skin slapping on skin.

I feel my orgasm coming up fast, almost too fast. I should be embarrassed by how much he turns me on, but I can’t bring myself to care. I balance my weight on my right arm, while I move my other hand between my legs to rub myself. Eric must have noticed because he groans, his hips moving faster than before, one of his hands following mine to start pleasuring me there too, before moving upwards again, squeezing my breasts, and pinching my nipples.

I feel the first wave of my climax approaching, my toes curling as euphoria washes over me. I scream Eric’s name as I come. He thrusts into me harder until I suddenly feel his seed filling me. Eric drops down next to me on his back, panting heavily.

“Fuck,” he curses, not using his normally cultivated way of expressing himself. “That was hot, baby.”

I nod sleepily, still lying on my stomach. Too tired to move a muscle. I smile contentedly when he pulls me in his arms and against his chest, peppering my head with kisses. I giggle, kissing his chest in return.

“I wish I could keep you with me in bed for the whole day tomorrow,” he sighs dramatically.

“We can’t!” I laugh. “I need to meet up with Jazz, and then train for a bit. And you need to go to that meeting with Alpha Liam and the others.”

He nods, brushing over my arm lovingly. The gesture is so soft that it sends butterflies through my chest and belly. “It’s going to be a difficult meeting.”

“Why’s that?”

“It’s about a pack in the far north where they are thought to abuse their omegas and enslave weaker pack members. These things are never pleasant to deal with.”

I nod. “I understand.”

I play with his fingers. “Do you think I will ever be able to shift?”

“Why are you asking that all of a sudden, princess?”

I sigh. “I just feel bad that our wolves can’t meet,” I admit.

“Valerie,” he says softly. “Caius and I are overjoyed that we found you. It doesn’t matter to us that you can’t shift. But to answer your question, I think the Council might be able to help you with that. And even if you won’t be able to shift, it doesn’t matter. Caius and I accept you anyway.”

I nod. I truly believe him when he says he and his wolf love me the way I am. Yet, I promise myself that I will train and get stronger, and eventually, I’ll be able to shift so that Ailia and Caius can meet in their wolf form.

Moon Blood pack is a beautiful place, I think to myself as I drive through the pack lands. It’s not as big as Silverlake or Red Claw, but it has a homely feeling to it. Not that Silverlake or Red Claw aren’t beautiful places, it’s just… maybe it’s because my mate is here, but I always feel at peace whenever I step foot on Moon Blood pack grounds. It puts my mind at ease to be here.

Silverlake was my home, but Calvin ruined it for me. Red Claw was meant to be my second chance, but I didn’t really take it, I have to admit. Could I be so fortunate as to have another opportunity to find a place where I truly belong? Moon Blood could be my third chance at finding happiness. And this time, I’m eager to take it.

The newly announced Gamma Garret greets us on arrival at the pack house and leads us into the building. He has a warm and welcoming aura surrounding him, despite looking fiercely strong. However, I know that I am not his, or any of Moon Blood’s ranked member’s favorite person at the moment. By now, everyone must know that Celine and I are fated mates. They probably also figured out that I wasn’t about to win any ‘greatest mate in the universe’ prize.

“Would you like some coffee or anything else before we start, Lord Marius?” Gamma Garret asks me. Despite his impeccable manners, I don’t miss the fact that he addresses me as formally as possible.
