Sages POV
The day goes by in a hurry. Preparations for the binding ceremony has every single wolf in a hurry. I never got a chance to look for a dress, so I have burrowed Valens’ mom’s dress. A beautiful and simple dress in ivory. The arms are covered in laces and Valens requested a slit on the side. The omegas did a great job.
I’m standing in front of the big floor mirror. My reflection starring back at me. Big grey orbs with a silver eye shadow. Festive but still simple, just like I like it. My curly hair cascades freely down my bare back.
I asked Valens for a smaller ceremony for which only the pack members will attend. Other pack alphas usually gets an invite but I don’t want it to be that extravagant.
A knock on the door pulls my attention to my very handsome mate. A beautiful black suit fits his fit body perfectly and the smirk on his face, tells me he already knows how handsome he is.
“Oh I know, love.” He smirks even more. Get out of my head, mate. ‘It’s the only place I want to be.’ His voice enters my mind and I gasp out loud.
“Hey!” I exclaim but he only laughs. He walks up behind be and place his nose in my neck. He takes a deep breath and a deep growl vibrates through his chest.
“Perfect.” He says to me while inhaling my scent. I blush and the same warm feeling in my abdomen again.
“Are you ready?” I look at him and nod. He swing me around and kiss me. I moan as his tongue swipes over my lips. He pulls away and kiss my forehead.
“Tonight is finally here and soon, I will mark you, little one.” He pulls away and look into my eyes.
“I look forward to it, Valens.” I say to him. He gives me a smile before we go out the door together.

Valens POV
Sage is beyond beautiful. I have no words good enough to describe her beauty. Her hair looks like calm waves under a sunset. Her dress suits her perfectly, the slit on the side makes me groan internally.
I still think about her shock earlier today. I have had many painful erections since I met her and today was no exception. I go to bed with a boner and wake up with a boner. I’m dying to sink my teeth in her neck and bury my c**k in her wet p***y.
Her thoughts amused me but when she thought about touching me? I was loosing my mind.
I was thinking of her little pretty mouth around my c**k when she interrupted me. I don’t know why she suddenly changed her mind though.
Cheers and music pulls me back to the real world. We’re standing on the scene, ready to announce Sage to the pack. Jayden is talking about some nonsense and I roll my eyes. Sage is standing beside me. I can hear her thoughts loud and clear. She wants to run away. I squeeze her hand and give her a smile.
“It’s over soon.” I promise her. She gives me a smile and her thoughts become a prepping talk.
“Ladies and gentlemen, may I present your King and Queen.” Jayden shouts to the pack. Loud cheers erupt through the hall and they clap. I look at Sage and she gives me a smile before we go out onto the stage. People keep clapping and some even whistles. We walk to the middle of the stage and I hold my hand up. Everyone quits down and look at me.
“Dear pack. I traveled to Alpha Jacks land to confront him but ended up finding my mate instead. This is your Queen.” I pull Sage closer to me and she blush. Cheers and happiness sounds from the pack and I smile.
“Mark her!”
“Mate her, your highness!”
Sage stiffens beside me and I growl loudly. Her thoughts make me growl even louder.
“I will not mate or mark my Queen in front of you. My Queen deserves intimacy.” My voice is loud and deep. Cain is on the edge, my eyes golden. My pack is silent and I take Sages hand again.
“Thank you for your time. Please, feel free to take some food and celebrate with us. Thank you.” People start to leave the halls and go into the dining room. I pull Sage off the stage.
“It’s a tradition for the King to mate and mark the Queen in front of the pack!” A guard yells in the crowd of people. I holt my steps and look at the guard. People stop moving and look at him. His eyes are narrowed but then I start moving towards him. His eyes widens and I snarl.
“I’m the King! What I say, is the law. I don’t give a s**t about an old tradition! I will not mate my Queen in front of you and your prying eyes.” My voice is a deep thunder and the guard shakes like a leaf. ‘Teeny, tiny human. Thinking he can tell me what to do!” Cain snarls loudly. I stop a few meters from him, I don’t recognize this guard.
“Jay, take him to the dungeon. Fill him with wolfsbane.” I order and the guard starts yelling.
“Don’t touch me! You are not my King!” He yells and my hand goes around his throat.
“I’m the King of everyone!” I snarl in his face. Sage comes up beside me and I look at her widen eyes. I’m about to let go of the guard, when a howl pierce through the night. Rouges!
