Surprise! Ugh, I hate parties, but as it is my 25th I have no choice. Between Madam and Tony they made secret arrangements and invited him to a ruse meeting concerning the raven girl. In his worry about the war and her general well-being they managed to get him at the club. When he walks in the door the music hits him and he has to shake his head, the corners of his lips moving up and he can't help but smile. The room is decorated tastefully in his favourite wine red and gold. The last few months have been hard on everyone, and I guess they deserve this just as much as they think I do.
Everyone starts singing the birthday song and once the song is over the music changes and the beat picks up and a giant cake is rolled out from one of the corners in the room. Sparklers are lit and the top section of the cake pops open. In the centre of the cake a sexy figure emerges first still, frozen in place, then she starts dancing... swaying... dipping with the rhythm of the beat. .. Thank you Madam, if this is my birthday present, I sure accept...With an alluring sway to her hips and firm, sensual curves, a sweet sent fills my nose...a Virgin.... how is that possible, a girl dancing with the practiced ease of experience? And wow, what is she wearing?...My family crest looks fantastic on her skin, like it is a part of her. His beast pushes to the front, wanting to have a look at this magnificent creature with her raven hair and olive skin. She looks familiar...where have we met? I have definitely seen her before...The twirls of gold and copper looks like an intricate tattoo all over her breasts and the swirls dipping between her strong sexy thighs have my beast clawing to the front, watching through my eyes, he draws in a deep breath and instantly goes wild in my mind, pushing and fighting to get out. ...Where have I seen her before? ...Who is this beauty? and why this extreme reaction... Never before has my beast reacted this way! Growling, trying to get closer to her, mumbling something I did not anticipate. And then our eyes meet and it hits me.... the club...the attack...blue captivating eyes...the girl in Madam's arms...
...The fragrance of fresh rain and Gardenias... his beast howls again...MATE... and a rumble moves through my chest. He looks around the room and all eyes are on the alluring beauty dancing in the middle of his birthday cake. His Mate....wow I've found my Mate....His beast roars out "Mate"... Everyone is watching our mate, make them stop!!!!!..... he roars again... Mate!!!... instantly he is next to her. She looks at him with big beautiful ocean blue eyes and he gasps to take a deep breath to keep from drowning. And then his hands are on her hips, the sparks exciting his skin, they travel all over the surface of his body and his c**k stirs. He lifts her off the platform and shrug out of his jacket and wrap it around her tiny figure. She is a natural beauty, absolutely beautiful, He can't take his eyes off her, pulling her closer to him. She is shivering, and looking at him with big freaked out eyes!
Somewhere between his roars he became aware that the music has stopped and everyone was watching them, and more accurately, watching his Mate. Her body is stiff next to his, she is so quiet... he looks down at her and he gulps for a breath again, lost in those deep pools of blue. He registers movement at the main door, and he sees Madam leaning against the frame with an amused look in her eyes and a twinkle in her eyes. Congratulations erupt and he looks down at his mate, confusion in her eyes, but a polite smile on her lips. Everyone makes their way to them, congratulations making the rounds, bows and the shaking of hands and each time a male touches his mate his beast growls deep in his chest. And then as another stretches a hand out to congratulate her, he has had enough, letting out a ear shattering roar which has everyone dropping their eyes to the ground. Only Madam looks straight at him as she saunters over in their direction, Tony is by his side again as well, with a hand in his shoulder. Once at their side she links him, stay calm you are scaring her. What? What is she on about? my mate? Why would I scare my mate? She should know she is my mate, she is of age if she is dancing. So he asks her what is going, and what she tells him next makes his eyes go wide, this is the raven girl!!! this is Jaxi!, The Jaxi. My Jaxi. My 17 year old Mate. s**t. she doesn't know....They never told her who and what she was, she grew up thinking she is human, but she is a shifter, no one is sure what type, and he honestly doesn’t care, neither does his beast. She is our Mate....He breaths deep and her sent calms his beast. Tony makes the introductions and Jaxi goes stiff in his arm when she learns he is the Lyckan King. A waft of fear reaches my nose, Tony moves touch her shoulder, and his beast roars again...the scent rolling off Jaxi changes... the most amazing sent of her arousal. My little Mate is turned on by my beast, and then the beast is strutting like a Cheshire cat, proud and majestic. Going crazy in his mind telling him that she is good and ready for us, she wants them, they want her....A rumble of satisfaction moves in his chest, and the sent of her arousal makes his knees weak. How can a simple sniff fill your soul So to the brim that it feels like you are complete for the first time in your life? Another breath and his c**k is straining against the zipper in his pants. Painfully so. Wild thoughts race through his mind, his beast adding his imaginations to the mix and James is practically salivating.
He looks at her and the world stands still, everything fades away. The softest, shy, most innocent smile on her lushes lips. Damn, I’m f****d! Lost in the depths of her soul, his beast watching her through his eyes, focused and taking in every detail of her perfect face. The curve of her shoulder as it leads to her neck, the spot his canines will mark her beautiful skin, claiming her, telling the world she belongs to him...Her tongue darts out to leave a moist trail over her lower lips and James is a lost case.... His mind has evaporated, all he can do is mimic the movement of her dainty tongue over her lips, and when her eyes drop to his lips he can barely contain his need to kiss those lushes lips. He dips his head and she takes a sudden intake of breath...James sees Madam moving in his peripheral vision and he knows he can't push this, she doesn't know. Instead of tasting her sweet lips, and keeping his beast from taking over and marking her, he nuzzle her neck and breaths her in deep for a few seconds. Instant relief and peace settles over him and the crazed beast inside, we found our mate! Our one true mate, the one made specially for us by the Moon Goddess, the perfect Luna and Queen to my kingdom. Then the prophecy flashes before his eyes and he closes his eyes, savouring the scent of his mate, and he vows in the moment to protect her, to keep her safe and happy! We will court our mate, we will make her love us and we won't ever let her go...
