The Lycan princess

chapter 15

Andrea's POV

The kids had everything they needed but they still didn't have much, so we just took whatever they had, which was able to fill a small duffel bag of clothes, and a couple of toys, books and pictures. I wonder where the rest of their stuff was or if it was somehow lost when they had lost their parents. That thought saddened me. I couldn't even imagine losing my parents forever the way these kids have.

We started to pull up to the pack house and once the car had stopped, I helped the kids out of the car. " There is a room down the hall that the kids can both stay in, so they are close to you". Luca said softly beside me, answering a question I was asking myself, as if he could read my mind. "Thank you". That was all I had wispered back to him, giving him a small soft smile.

Making our way into the packhouse and up the stairs, I felt a few people staring at me and the kids as we passed by. It was easy for me to ignore, but I could tell that the kids were uncomfortable, so I let out a low growl to the people we were passing by. I wanted to make the kids feel safe. This was their home and I wanted them to be treated with respect and live a life free from the pain they had to go through. And so help me, they may not biologically be mine, but I'll love them all the same and treat them as if they were.

"Okay you two, the shower is right through that door" I said, pointing to the left side of the room. "My room is right down the hall, please knock first, this is your closet. I will take you both shopping soon so we can pick out clothes that you both will like. There is only one bed but it is a, cali king bed, so I hope it's okay that you guys share for now." I said looking at them both nodding their heads taking in the entire room even though they will be sharing it they still looked happy but also a bit timid. "I will come up here to bring you both down for dinner okay?" "Yes Princess thank you" "Please Emma you can call me Andrea or Drea which ever you prefer" I said knowing it would take her a bit to use my name like it does anyone who I request to call by my name.

I walked into my room after leaving the kids, looking at the time and noticing that it was thirty minutes till six, I decided to just put on a black knee-high dress with thin straps and put my hair up in a messy bun. I grabbed my white gold locket from my sixteenth birthday and lightly did my makeup. I found a pair of silver flats that I had brought with me. Once I was satisfied with my appearance, I went to check on both of the kids.

"Come in" I heard Emma's small voice from the other end. Opening the room door, I walked in to see both of the kids in some cute outfits. Emma in a white dress with her hair braided and Levi in black pants and a white t-shirt with his hair brushed to the side looking adorable. " Okay, are you both ready?" I asked and they both nodded their heads. Just as I got to the door, I heard a knock. Opening the room door, standing there looking sexy as all h**l in a black suit with a white underhirt and a black tie was Luca. Without saying a word, he held his hand out for me to take, which I did, and he also held his hand out for Emma and she hesitantly took it while I held my hand out for Levi to take.

Walking down the stairs and into the huge ball room was the entire pack waiting for us and Luca's family along with mine. Walking in the entire room went silent as we walked and reached the front of the ball room with a few people giving curious looks at the kids. Reaching the front, I bowed to my parents to greet them and then I turned to Luca's family as well, bowing, giving them a little shock. Giving a bow usually means a sign of great respect and is usually given to the royal family, aka my family. Standing up right, I noticed Emma and Levi did the same thing while I smiled at them. I hadn't expected them to bow but I was more than grateful that they did.

"Thank you everyone for coming today. You all know Princess Andrea Petterson and her family are here helping the pack in every way that they can. I am pleased to announce that Princess Andrea has adopted two of our pups today. I know that she will give them a great home and be an amazing role model to them both" I blushed slightly as he finished and people were clapping and cheering. I looked at the kids, noticing that they were slightly uncomfortable like me, but waited patiently till everyone settled down again. "I am also pleased to inform you all that I have found my mate" he gestured toward me holding out his hand, taking his hand in mine, "My destined mate, Princess Andrea Peterson" he finished and the entire hall erupted in in applause and cheers at his news.

I met his brother Owen, who is shorter than Luca but still taller than me. He had just turned nineteen years old, well built, with the same colored eyes as Luca as well as his hair. Just looking at him I could tell that he was a little bit mischievous. I knew me and him were both going to start trouble like kids. Meeting Anna, she has shoulder-length hair and she looked to be more of the rebellious type but still knows how to have a good time. We became friends pretty quickly, especially since we were close in age, me being eighteen and she being seventeen. His youngest sister, Peyton, had just turned sixteen. Her hair was down to her waist, the same colored eyes as her siblings, she was definitely shy and the most protected out of all her siblings, that was for sure.

We spent the night eating, drinking, dancing and me meeting just about everyone in the pack. The kids stayed close to me despite other kids wanting to play with them. It was obvious that they weren't used to this sort of thing and, truth be told, I don't blame them. Until I came back home, I wasn't used to it either. Sometimes it still makes me uncomfortable with so many people around.

A slow song came on and I looked around the room and saw Emma and Levi dancing together. It was sweet that she was protective over him and the fierce way she would scare anyone off that was mean to him. It reminded me of when I was younger and my cousins would always try to protect me when we were in school against people who tried to bully me. I continued to watch the kids dance before I noticed someone in front of me. Immediately, I recognized it was Luca from his scent and the way my body always seemed to come and feel more alive every time he was around me. I looked up and immediately stared into his hazel and green eyes. I felt like I could drown in them forever.

Without a second thought, I placed my hand in his and we started to make our way to the middle of the ball room. Once we got there, another slow song started to play. It was "Can't help Falling In Love by Elvis Presley". It was easily one of my favorite songs to date. We began to dance as the music played on. Neither one of us seemed to have realized that the song had ended and we just kept on slow dancing till he noticed that it was almost time to eat.

Leading me away from the dance floor and to our table, he pulled my seat out for me and pushed it back in when I sat down. "You okay?" He asked. Nodging my head up at him, I smiled. Once we were all seated, Luca started to speak.

"Thank you everyone for coming tonight on behalf of me and my mate", gesturing to me "we are honored to share this special moment with all of you here tonight. In six days I will be going to the kingdom where me and Princess Andrea will be getting married and completing the mate bond." Everyone in the room started to cheer. Once they settled down, Luca continued, "I know not everyone will be able to make it, so aside from that day being recorded for you all to see live, we will also be coming back here after a few days to celebrate with you all." Every one cheered and clapped as he finished his announcement. "So please lets eat"

Once the food was brought out, everyone started to eat and soon the place was filled with talk and laughter. By the time dinner was over, Luca walked with me and the kids back to their room and helped me put them both down for bed. After making sure the kids were changed and their teeth brushed, we said goodnight to the kids, making sure they were asleep. It was almost midnight when me and Luca went to my room. He was sitting on my bed while I changed into my short shorts and an oversized loose shirt. I chose to wear a bra since he was still there. I noticed the way he looked a little bit upset, glaring at the oversized shirt I was wearing. Not wanting him to feel jealous, I quickly said "This is mine. It didn't belong to anyone else. I just like sleeping in a big t-shirt" He didnt say anything as he left my room, leaving me a little shocked that he just left.

Before I could completely process what had happened, he came back to my room in only sweet pants, giving me a clear view of his chest and how muscular he was. Roaming my eyes on his body stopping at the top of his pants that hung low on his hips just revealing the top of his boxers. Ugh, he looked like some sort of s*x god. With one of his shirts not saying anything but closing the door behind him, he walked over to me, neither one of us talking while he slid my big shirt over my head, making my breath catch in my throat as I felt his hand's touching my skin and the sparks erupting over the parts his hands touched. His touch was so soft and light. All I wanted at that moment was to jump at him and it took everything in me to not reach out and run my hands over his body. I barely noticed his hard breathing as he quickly slid his shirt on me. Looking into his eyes, I could see them flickering between his hazel-green eyes and his wolf's black eyes fighting for control. I couldn't help it. I leaned in and kissed him. It was a soft kiss but the sparks that erupted from it were indescribeable. I felt his lips move against mine and his tongue nudging my lips, asking for more. He moved his hand behind my neck and I opened my mouth to give him access and our tongues danced together in a heated exchange, both of us fighting for dominance. After a while, we pulled apart, both of us trying to catch our breath and calm down.

We both stayed quiet, not moving, neither one of us wanting to lose any more control than we already did. I can hear Ava in my head begging to meet her mate. After a few minutes, I decided to break the silence. "So, Ava wants to meet our mate. I was wondering if maybe you might want to go for a run together?" I said, not meeting his eyes and feeling shy after our hot and steamy takeout session. What was wrong with me? I have never felt shy and I could never not look someone in the eyes before. Ugh, this mate bond is really messing with me, that's for sure.

LUCA'S POV

She walked out of the bathroom in a freaking huge shirt coming to her knees. It looked like a guy's shirt and made both me and Blade my Lycan mad. I felt Blade bristle at the thought of our mate in another man's shirt. We both slightly calmed down as she explained that the shirt was actually hers. I mean she told us she has never been with any one, so why we got mad I have no clue. I left her room not saying anything, leaving her door open as I walked right into my room, which is next to hers. I grabbed the shirt off of my bed that I had worn the other day and quickly changed into a pair of sweet pants.

I walked back into her room closing the door behind me, still not saying anything as I made my way over to her sitting on the bed on her knees, looking a bit shocked at me. Not saying anything, I slid her shirt off, her breathing heavy as the sparks erupted on my fingers from where they touched her skin. I noticed her red lace bra that she was in, making it harder not to take her right here right now. I slid my shirt over her head and arms while Blade was fighting me for control, wanting to mate her here and now.

Stairing at each other, I didn't realize it until her lips were on mine. Once, I felt her soft full lips on mine I started to kiss her. I pushed my tongue against her lips and grabbed the back of her neck and felt her lips part as I explored her mouth with my tongue and we began to fight for dominance. The kiss was so hot I could feel my pants getting tighter. I just wanted her here and now. Ugh she was so damn sexy.

After a few minutes, I heard her say "So, Ava wants to meet our mate. I was wondering if maybe you might want to go for a run together?" She looked so cute not able to look at me while she was asking for our wolfs to meet.

"Yes, we would like that. Blade can't wait to meet her, he is excited about a chance to run with our mate." I told her while smiling. Next thing I knew, she jumped off the bed giggling, running out the room door. "Oh she wants a chase", Blade asked and I smiled, taking off running after her. I was at the bottom of the stairs as I saw her fling the door open giggling as I let out a low playful growl, not caring that there were some people still around the pack house probably sending some glances our way. I was running out of the house following her and her cute giggles as she ran into the forest still not shifting. Following behind her, Blade letting out another playful growl as we finally grabbed her from behind, smashing her into my chest. Falling forward, I quickly turned around so I was falling backwards holding her in my arms so she wouldn't get hurt. Sitting up on the grass with her back to me, sitting between my legs, smelling her hair and purring as she tried to contain her giggles while catching her breath. I wish I could always hear that from her.

It took us a moment to stop laughing and catch our breath, we just sat together under the trees enjoying the sparks spreading through our body. I especially loved running my fingers on her arms and watching her body react to me. Finally deciding that we couldn't sit here forever, I stood up and walked around in front of her holding out my hand to help her stand up. I gave her a small smile as I brushed a strand of hair behind her ear and a small blush made its way to her cheeks. She looked so adorable. Looking into her eyes with my hand cupping her face, she reached down and slowly slid my shirt over her head and dropped it on the ground. I just stared at her perfect body holding my breath as she continued to take off her clothes, dropping her bra, then her shorts. Not really paying attention to myself as I stared at this perfect gift from the moon goddess. I can't believe that she is my mate. She reached over and grabbed the top of my sweat pants and pulled them down. I wasn't wearing any boxers. Standing there completely naked, hearing my wolf just howling with joy in my head as we both stared at her beautiful body. She took several steps back so I could shift to Blade, who is a huge black wolf. Our fur is so black that it looks like it's shinning blue in the moon light.

I sat down and I waited for her to shift. It was like watching water move, it was so elegant and smooth as every part of her shimmered until she was standing there completely shifted into a beautiful white wolf. She stood tall, proud, and elegant as she walked over to me with the moonlight shinning off her fur, making her look like a goddess in the moonlight. She reached just under my chin as she purred, rubbing her head under my chin, enjoying the sparks and feelings that ran through my entire body.

I watched as she stepped back and turned around facing the forest. Realizing she wanted to run, I let Blade take over as I sat in the back of our mind watching him and Drea's wolf play and run through the forest. After a couple of hours of running and watching our wolves play and get to know each other, we went back to where our clothes were when Blade gave me back control and we both shifted back. I couldnt stop myself (and I didn't want to) from closing the distance between us, grabbing her in my arms and kissing her. It felt like my life depended on it. Like I would die if I didn't have her. I could also feel myself growing hard again as I felt her skin against mine. I felt her hands on my chest lightly pushing me back, so I obliged. Looking at her face, blushing a bright scarlet across her cheeks.

Hearing her clear her throat as she looked away, stepping back from me. She walked away and started putting on her clothes. Grabbing my sweat pants and putting it on as well while she got dressed. Walking over to her, I came up behind her and grabbed her hand, spinning her around to face me as she giggled. I looked down at her, smiling up at me. We didn't speak as we headed back to the pack house in comfortable silence, passing the training grounds. I couldn't take my eyes off her, she was perfect, and she was all mine.

I felt the mind link pull as we were walking back and all I heard was one word.

"ROGUES!!!"
