The First Star (Book Two: The Star Series)

A Secret Revealed

We both shift as we enter the forest. The cabin isnt far if we run as our wolves. It will take us about twenty minutes to get there. I look over at Ariel and smile. Her wolf is gorgeous. She is a small tan wolf with black covering the tips of her tail and paws. And a little black moon on her right side. She is small but very agile. She is fast and could out maneuver anybody that would try to chase her. Since we were young nobody has ever been able to catch her. Except for me of coarse.

I on the other hand am an alpha and now King. So my wolf is bigger than most. There are only two wolves I know that are bigger than me and that is my mom and dad. I'm a pure black wolf. And my eyes are like a storm swirling while I'm in wolf form. And when I get angry in wolf dad says it's almost like lightening flashes. He said that every so often they will have a pink flash through them. I'm assuming that's because moms eyes are pink when she is on wolf form. But I'm not certain.

"Johnny your side." Ariel links me and I stop running. I look back but I don't see anything. "What, what's wrong with it?" I ask worried not being able to see what she is talking about. "Follow me." she says as she starts running towards the river. I follow behind and she stops sideways along the river. I stand in front of her. "What are we doing here?" I ask.

"Look down at our reflection. It's amazing." she says happily. I look at our reflection. And as I glance down at my reflection my eyes stop on my side down towards my hind leg. "Where did that come from?" I ask. "I don't know. But we match now." Ariel says proudly. "I always thought that mine was because of my birthmark." she said.

"You have a birthmark?" I ask raising my brow. Then she shifts. I look over her now naked body standing in front of me. And I notice a moon shaped birth mark on her upper thigh. I shift and stand in front of her. I trace my fingers over her birthmark and I feel her fingers touching my thigh. "Look." she says.

I look down and see that I now have a matching mark on my thigh. "That's weird. It must be from the ritual. Proving that we are connected." I say as that's the only thing that makes sense to me. Her fingers then slide up my side to my chest and instantly the feeling of wonder is replaced by absolute lust.

I have never seen Ariel completely naked and I cant control my body as my member grows to attention. I trail my hand up Ariels thigh to her breast and start caressing and I lean down and take her lips with mine. She returns the kisses passionately and I can smell her arousal.

I lean down and start to lick and suck her now hard n****e. I grab her by the ass and lift her up and she wraps her legs around my waist.

She let's out a loud moan of pleasure and as she is straddling my waist I can feel her core moistening against my skin. I gently lay her down on the edge of the river bed and and trail kisses down her neck. When I reach the spot I'm suppose to mark her she moans out again. "Oh goddess Johnny. I want you to mark me as you enter me. Please. I need you know. We've waited long enough." I forcefully press my lips to hers again and lightly bite her bottom lip. "Are you sure you want this right here?" I ask breathing heavily as I feel like I'm about to explode. I'm a virgin as well as Ariel and this closeness to her naked body is driving me crazy.

"I'm sure. I want you and only you forever. Take me. Make me yours." she says and I let out a small growl. I line up my member at her entrance and feel the warmth and moister at the head. My teeth elongate as I kiss down her neck and as my teeth break the skin of her neck I thrust hard and deep into her core.

She tightens around me as she let's out a whimper. I pull my teeth out as I slowly start to thrust in and out of her. I kiss and lick her neck. She then starts to moan in pleasure after a minute. "Are you ok?" I ask. "I am now. Just don't stop." She said and she places a few kisses down my neck.

I've never felt this deep pleasure ever before. Then I feel a sharp pain in my neck and then pleasure washes over me and I am about to release myself into her. "Oh Ariel I love you." I say "I'm about to finish." I say and she screams out in ecstasy. "Oh no, don't stop. Oh goddess yes. Don't stop." she says and I start to thrust harder into her. Her nails scrape across my back as I start sucking her n*****s again.

Her core tightens around me again and I cant help but release. And just as I do she let's out a loud moan and untightens as her juices flow around me. I stop thrusting and place my lips on hers. "That was amazing." I say breathing heavily. "That it was." she says and giggles. "I guess we don't need to go to the cabin now." she says and I laugh. "I guess not. Are you sure your ok? I know it was our first time. Did I hurt you?" I ask as I brush her hair back and kiss her again.

"It did at first but then it felt amazing. I'm so glad we waited. I couldn't have asked for a better time." she says. "Well, I suppose we should clean up. Do you want to get in the river?" I ask her. "Yeah we better. I don't want to go back looking like this." She says laughing.

After about an hour we are headed back to the house. Washing up took a little longer than usual as we ended up enjoying each other again. Well a few times. What can I say, we are both still new to this. So although it might not take long it is very intense.

Once we reach the edge of the woods we shift and get dressed with our clothes we left there. We walk hand in hand back to the house. Everybody greeted us as we walked up to the top floor. Dad and mom were there when we entered onto the fourth floor. "Come with us for a moment." Dad says ushering us into his private office.

We all walk in and Dad ushers me to his chair behind the desk. "This is your office now." he says. I nod and take my seat as him and mom sit across from me. "I see you have finished the mating process." mom says beaming and I roll my eyes. Then dad breaks in. "There are going to be a lot of changes around here. We have already started rearranging while you were gone." "Rearranging what?" I ask confused.

"The house. Now that you are King the Alpha floor is yours." he says but then Ariel speaks up. "No, you are more than welcome to stay there. We would never ask for you to leave your floor." Ariel says realizing what was going on before I did. "You both will be starting a family soon, if you haven't already." mom starts. "You are going to need the space."

"Mom our floor is huge. There's already like two extra rooms. Your not going anywhere." I say and mom smiles. "See, I told you he would always choose family over power." she says and that confused me even more. Dad nods and speaks up. "We wont be leaving just yet. We have rearranged the rooms. You and Ariel now have our room away from your siblings. We have taken your old room. When your brother and sisters are of age we will all be leaving. I'm having a house built for me and your mother a few miles away. We will stick around until the time your siblings start their journey. Then you will be on your own." Dad says as mom starts to cry.

"Mom what's wrong?" I ask. "Your all growing up so fast. And soon my babies will all be on their own." she says wiping her eyes. "Mom we arent going anywhere. And we will always need you."

"There's more." she says. "Maybe we shouldn't have kept it from you but we thought it would be better that way. But now that you are mated I think you should know."

"Know what? What is going on?" I ask and Ariel looks worried. "Are you sure that you want to tell them now?" dad asks mom. She nods as she speaks. "Ariel is my daughter now and I will not have her hurt when it happens. I want her to have time to prepare. This isn't going to be easy for her." she then looks at Ariel. "Honey, I want you to know that no matter what I am going to be here for you. Ok?" Ariel is now visibly upset.

"I understand. What is it that we need to know?" she asks. "The night that we were given the prophecy we were actually having Gammy look to make sure that you two were going to be mates. We've told you that story before correct." Dad says and I roll my eye.

"Yes dad we have heard this story a hundred times. When we were little a rogue was shown that Ariel was going to be queen so you wanted to see if he was correct and she was my mate." I say. "Yes but we left a little detail out." he says and I lean forward and Ariel finally takes a seat. "See, we were correct. You two were destined to be mates. But we were also instructed that Ariel wouldn't be your only mate." Ariel gasps and covers her mouth. I look over at her and can see a tear forming.

"What do you mean?" I ask walking over to Ariel and placing my arm around her to try and comfort her. "We were told that you would be having two mates. We were told that you would be so powerful that you would need two mates. And from what we gather from all of our research your first mate will be queen. She is the mate you need to stand by your side. The one person who will make you a better king and a better person. The one you need by your side in order for your world to stay on track." Dad says smiling at Ariel. "We believe Ariel is that person. Without her you would be nothing."

"Of coarse I would be nothing. She is my world. I don't need another mate." I say and then dad speaks again. "The second mate is one of passion." he starts and Ariels lips quiver and a few tears slip down her cheek. "Whoever she is will be the one that will quench your every desire sexually." And with that Ariel gets up and runs from the room. Mom stands and goes after her and as I stand dad tells me to sit again.

"Your second mate is the one that will satisfy all you s****l desires as Ariel will be the one to help you run the kingdom. Ariel is our queen. She will be the one to bear you pups and whom you will have a family with. But without your second mate you wont be whole. You need her to satisfy other desires." I shake my head. "Ariel can satisfy those desires too. When we were headed to the cabin and mated it was wonderful. It was enough." I say.

"Was it? Tell me, who was it that wanted to return? When me and your mother mated we were at the cabin till the next day. Why did you come back so soon?" he asks. "Ariel thought it would be best if we returned." I say thinking. "But it was incredible. We couldn't keep our hands off of each other." I say. "But if she didn't say she wanted to return you would have stayed and enjoyed the rest of the evening into tomorrow in each others arms would you not?" Dad asks.

"Well yeah. I would have mated her nonstop." I say and I slowly start to understand what dad is saying.

"See Ariel is a queen through and through. She is worried about her kingdom and making sure everybody is safe. She will make an excellent mother to your children. But you need somebody who is there to help you relax when Ariel is busy or otherwise occupied. And we believe that that is what your second mate is for. Your second mate is pretty much a backup. She is not queen and never will be. And she will not have your heirs. She is just there to satisfy your needs." dad says and I nod understanding.

"I don't want another mate. But I understand what you are saying. I wont go looking for her either. If this is true then my second mate will show up when she is needed. I will not hurt Ariel and go looking for her. I refuse." I say and I see understanding in my dads eyes. "I know that you would never do anything to hurt Ariel. And she knows it too. Your mother is explaining everything to her. She let me know that Ariel is coming around. She understands why the moon goddess would decide this. We have no idea when your second mate will show herself. All I can suggest is that until she does you show Ariel the love and attention she deserves. She will be the one by your side forever. Don't take her for granted." He says and stand up and pats my back. "Don't worry son, the moon goddess knows what shes doing." he says and heads for the door.

After I sit and process everything I head to my new room where Ariel is already waiting. I go to her and hug her tightly breathing in her scent. "I have some ground rules." she says and I pull back and look at her. "For this situation." she says and I understand shes talking about my other mate. "Baby I don't want to think about that right now. I just want to be with you." I say but she steps back and takes a seat on the bed.

"Your mother helped me see that the moon goddess is the one who wants this so it is going to happen no matter how much I don't like it. So I am setting some rules. And I guarantee that no matter how long away the time comes if you break any of these rules I will break our bond." she says seriously. I go and take a seat next to her and grab her hand. "I will agree to anything to keep you with me. What are the rules?" I say.

"Rule one. She is never to set foot in this house. Rule two. You will be in my bed every night. Rule three. She will never carry your child. Rule four. I never hear her name come out of your mouth. Rule five. Me and our family comes first always. If she needs something from you at the same time that we do then you choose us. Understand?" I nod. "Of coarse. You are my number one always. I agree to your terms. But let's not worry about that. I have informed my dad that I will not search her out. That you are all I'm worried about." I say and she smiles in return. "Promise you tell me when you do find her though." she says. "I will. But enough about that." I say and start to kiss her neck. "For now you are all I need and all I'm worried about. So let me show you that." I say and lay her down.
