“Not that tired…” I said, my eyes trailing over her.
She smiled in amusement, coming over and walking behind the sofa. She placed her hands on my shoulders before she began massaging them. I closed my eyes, groaning in satisfaction.
“You’re tense? It’s hard to believe one toddler did this.” She bent forward, kissing my lips as I stared up at her.
“That one is not just an ordinary pup,” I said. “Oh, she kinda ruined some of your makeup… maybe you could buy replacements?”
“I saw. They’re not that ruined; they’re okay, still useable,” she reassured me, kissing my neck. “But it seems my Alpha has been rather stressed. How about I take good care of you?”
I hardened in my pants, her hand running down my chest as she placed sensual kisses along my neck.
“I think I’d like that.”
I tangled my hand into her hair, pulling her down just as her hand cupped my crotch, sending pleasure flowing through me. But before I could flip her over my shoulder into my lap, the guest room door opened with a creak and Raven jerked away as Azura appeared in the doorway, clearly sleepy, all dressed in her penguin onesie holding a matching penguin plushie in her hand.
“Waven, I’m scared.”
“Aw, baby, don’t worry. Come on,” Raven cooed, hurrying over to her, leaving me with just a reminder of her scent and a view of her ass before she cast me an apologetic look and closed the door behind them.
I stretched my arms over the top of the sofa, resting my head back as I stared at the ceiling.Yep, definitely no kids for a few years. Twenty minutes later, I decided to go check if Azura was asleep. Opening the door, I stopped in the doorway, seeing both fast asleep and snuggled together. I smiled slightly. Okay, maybe kids weren’t so bad. I walked over to the bed, slowly pulling the blanket over them, and planted a kiss on both of their foreheads before I left the room, closing the door behind me.
A Royal Wedding
Raven
The wedding of the decade had arrived, and guests from all corners of the country were teeming into the King’s territory for the occasion. Women in glamourous gowns from the latest designers and men in custom-tailored suits and tuxes were pouring into the grand open grounds below. My heart was racing as I stared out of the huge windows at the stunning, breath-taking view down below.
It was magical.
To the left was the table set for the reception dinner, decorated impressively. More guests would arrive later for the reception. Round tables were covered in blush-coloured tablecloths with matching chairs, garlands of ivory flowers, and ribbons of white fabric created a roof above. To the far side were the dance floor and the cake.
Right ahead to the right was the aisle with a carpet of the palest shades of pink and white roses leading from the entrance of the mansion all the way up to the dais, where they would take their vows. Above it, ribbons of white fabric were draped like a roof above the seats for the guest. Glass tables at the edge of the rows held vases of pale pink roses and garlands of green vines dangled from the ceiling similar to the eating area with chandeliers glittering in the centre. To the side was the string quartet that would be playing the music for the ceremony. Magical.
“It’s perfect, Kia,” I murmured in awe, turning to the Queen herself. The beautician was finishing off her elegant bridal updo, making sure every wave of her hair was in the perfect position. A few strands framed her face, and she finished by adding the floral hair vine to Kiara’s bun before pinning her veil in.
Kiara smiled at me, her face glowing radiantly. She wore an ivory, one-sleeved, embroidered dress thatwas decorated with pearls. It was a mermaid cut gown with a huge skirt that had a large trail with the same embroidered work as the top of the dress. She wore pearl earrings, but apart from that, her only jewellery was her engagement ring.
“You look beautiful,” I complimented. She truly did.
“Thank you. It’s really weird that I’m nervous since I’m already Luna, and we are already mated,” she said when the beautician left, leaving us alone. I smiled softly as I walked over to her.
“It’s still a new step,” I said, taking her hand as I crouched down before her. Her acrylic nude nails looked as perfect as the rest of her with their glittery tips.
“Thanks.” She smiled. “You look gorgeous.”
“Thank you,” I replied, my heart fluttering as I wondered what Liam would think. I had been with Kia since morning, and I missed him.
I was wearing an olive-green, metallic, halter-neck dress with a slit down the centre from the collar to my waist. It was fitted up to the knees and then flared out with crystal detailing around the bodice, neckline, and waist. My back was bare, save for the tattoo of Liam’s name on the left side of my back, which I had gotten recently. My hair tips had been dyed a deep mauve pink and were up in an elegant updo with olive green flowers in it. My eye makeup was dramatic with nude lips, and I wore high pencil heels on my feet.
“It’s time,” Uncle El’s voice came.
We both turned to see him, Aunty Red, Liam, and Azura standing there. My heart skipped a beat when my eyes landed on Liam in a stone-coloured suit with an open button olive green shirt underneath. His hair was styled to perfection, a single strand flicking over his forehead, and that scar of his made him look even sexier as his blazing cobalt eyes were set on me. Goddess, he was so handsome…
The urge to go over and run my hand down his chest that was teasing me from those open buttons was strong, and I had to fight it. I swallowed hard, my core clenching. The urge to move closer to him and kiss him tempted me, but it was Kia’s day.
Fuck, love…Liam’s voice came through the link.
Yeah… same… you look beyond sexy, Blue Eyes.His intense gaze was making me a little light-headed as he undressed me with his eyes, and I had to blink to remember where we were.
