Mated to More Than a Myth

Chapter 5

Everybody in the room sat in worried silence. The only sounds were the angry growls from the wolves and an occasional sniffle from Grandma Charlotte. Alarick stood and walked over to a devastated looking Lucifer. When he stood in front of him he placed his hand on the Devil's slumped shoulder firmly saying, “What happened that day was not your fault and it sure as hell wasn’t my mates. The blame falls on those disgusting people who tortured innocent children to death for their own pleasure. I’m sure my mate regrets losing control and blowing up a whole damn civilization, but that is not on her or you. So quit blaming yourself and move on. All you are doing is hurting each other.”

Lucifer raised an eyebrow while stepping out of Alarick's grip. He adopted his carefree pose on the windowsill while looking the Alpha King up and down impressed. “Hmmm well, I guess you do have your moments dog. You may actually survive my baby sister when she wakes up.” At the mention of Lilith, Alarick lost all confidence and drug his feet as he made his way back to his desk. He plopped down with a defeated sigh and ran his rough hands over his face and through his hair. “How? She knows what I did and now she hates me. I’ve never been in a relationship and have no idea how to fix this!” Everybody in the room looked worried that he was in fact right. Shifters are very territorial when it comes to their mates, which is why most don’t have s*x until they find their mate. Even though wolves are very physical in all aspects of life, they normally will not cross that line. Royals unfortunately experience all urges about ten times more than the average wolf, which is why the Goddess Luna saw fit for them to shift and find their mates a lot earlier than the rest. But Alarick was able to shift by age five, which allowed him to locate his mate, unfortunately had remained mateless. Up until Lilith's arrival, it was widely believed his mate had died or hadn’t been born yet. Lucifer made a tsking sound and chuckled softly. “Cheer up dog. Not all is lost. Even as we speak, I’m pretty sure Luna is explaining the situation to Lilly the same way I am about to explain it to you.”

“What are you talking about? What situation could there be to explain? I’m a shitty mate and Lilith knows it. She has every right to reject us.” This time Ambrose and Alarick did whimper aloud, which caused the other wolves to whine in pain with their King. Lucifer remained unmoved by the wolves’ discomfort and just nodded. “True, you are a shitty mate but you are definitely not the worst, and she won’t reject you.” Alarick's eyes widened with excitement and he was about to fire off several questions when Lucifer held up a silencing hand. “The reason for this is she made an oath about 30 years ago to you that she would never reject you, which you accepted with your blood. Now, before you start firing off questions or denials, let me just go over the basics. The reason you don’t remember this is because you met her while she was imprisoned in what I’m assuming is an enchanted cavern on the edge of your kingdom, that has a vanishing glamor on it. This means even if you found her once, as soon as you left the cave you wouldn't remember the location or anybody in it. I was there the day you were found as a child after you ran away. I was summoned by her plea for your safety.” Carol gasped and shot to her feet. She dashed over to her son and held up the wrist that was bound with the strange hair bracelet. “I knew it! See Alex! That’s why we had to fight him to leave that spot and why he almost went rabid when we tried to take the bracelet off! He kept walking in circles whimpering and clawing at the ground saying he needed to dig! He and Ambrose couldn’t remember, but deep down they felt her!” Carol was practically hopping up and down with excitement as her husband rubbed his bearded jaw thoughtfully. Eric and Vlad both looked at each other in realization too. Vlad looked at a shocked Alarick and said, “It makes sense Rick. Remember when me and Eric took that thing off you while you were sleeping?” Eric jumped into the conversation laughing, “Yeah and you beat us both to a bloody pulp! I thought that damn thing had a hex on it for the longest time.” Miranda chimed in with, “That also clears up the tattoo thing.” When Lucifer looked puzzled, Colton told him, “Rick got a big ass tattoo of a chained woman that he kept dreaming about, which is a big No-No to the shifter council. They even threatened to deny Alarick his crown until Grandma Char threatened to freeze their junk off.” Everybody, including Lucifer, laughed as Grandma Char sighed happily at the fond memory. Alarick stopped laughing as something occurred to him. “But if she took my blood….” Lucifers’ face now turned stony as he nodded slowly. Alarick whimpered again and dropped his head to his desk with a loud thud. Delia sighed as Kayla walked over to pat Alaric on the back. Vlad looked at his wife in confusion. “Even though he was a child he already had Ambrose. When she took his blood, she began the mating process. A one-sided mating process.” Vlads’ eyes widened in understanding and then settled with concern. “So every time he touched another female in a s****l way she underwent excruciating pain, which is why she refused to allow Tigress to fully awaken. She was protecting her.” Lucifer said coldly as his eyes glowed softly. Alarick stood and with a determined expression and strong voice asked, “What do I do to make this right? How can I make my mate happy?” Lucifer stared for a moment, then smiled as his eyes lost their glow. He sat down and with a mischievous smile said, “She’ll wake up in about 3 hours. Luna will explain everything to her the same way I’ve explained it to you, so she won’t be nearly as homicidal. BUT she's still going to be pissed. My suggestion is that Alarick takes a step back and Ambrose shows her how good his begging skills are….”

Lilith purred as she kneaded the satiny hot rock she was lying astride. It was so comfortable and smelled so good she never wanted to move. She rubbed her face and body back and forth, trying to rub its smell all over her. It smelled just like strawberries and sweet cream. She felt amazing little tingles everywhere her skin made contact with it. The only thing she didn’t like was that it kept grumbling and growling. She felt a smaller stone growing against her core and she purred harder as she ground against it. Tigress purred sleepily, “Mmmmmm that’s nice. Move our sleeves. I want to feel it on our chest.” Lilith nodded drowsily as she just completely pulled off the cumbersome silky robe, pushing it down to her hips. Both cat and woman moaned as tingles shot through their n*****s and poured into their now drenched core. Lilith was now circling her hips at a faster and firmer pace while panting. The stone growled loudly as it grabbed her ass with two big hands to press her harder into the not so small rock she was grinding on. “Queen not that I’m complaining or want this to stop buuuuuuut, since when do rocks grow other rocks, growl or have hands…..?” Lilith's eyes shot open and at the same time she heard a deep growling voice say, “If this is how you plan to wake me up every morning Kitten then I may never leave bed.” Lilith sat up so fast in a blind panic that she would have fallen over if the big hands hadn’t moved up to tightly grab her hips. Lilith was breathing hard and hissing as her eyes scanned her surroundings, trying to figure out where she was and if there was a threat.

She was in a huge, beautifully furnished bedroom. Everything was decorated in blue, black, gold and dripped wealth. There were things she didn’t recognize and she could feel herself begin to panic. “Queen calm down! You’re starting to lose it.” Lilith could barely hear Tigress as her vision began to blur with tears. She felt like her heart was about to beat out of her chest. There were too many colors. Too much light. She knew she was close to passing out when she felt warm hands on her wet cheeks. They brought her face down and into a warm kiss. She automatically closed her eyes and focused on the soft but firm lips moving tenderly over hers. His tongue ran over the seam of her lips as if begging for entrance. She parted her lips granting his wish and they both moaned at the sweet taste of each other.

Her panicked breathing quickly changed to pants of arousal as she pressed her bare breasts into his hard chest and ground her weeping s*x into his hard c**k. His hands roamed her back before tightly gripping her full ass. Lilith purred deeply and nipped his bottom lip before soothing the small pain with her tongue while tugging his thick silky hair. She heard a deep growl and found herself flat on her back staring up at heavily hooded glowing blue eyes. They both stared at each other’s bodies in appreciation.

He was massive, without being too bulky. His muscles were so sculpted she wondered if he wasn’t a statue come to life. She skimmed over the tattoo on his chest to eight well defined abs, that were outlined by a deep V shape leading to the thick pulsing outline of his pants-covered c**k. She licked her lips hungrily at the thought of it. She was distracted from her musings by a, “You’re so f*****g perfect.” He was staring at her exposed breasts and stomach. She saw his eyes travel down over her exposed thighs. Her knees were bent and spread wide, showing where the silk of her robe pooled on her dripping s*x. She watched him inhale deeply, taking in the scent of her arousal. “MINE!” he growled as he quickly slipped his hand under the silk to stroke her wet folds. She gasped and arched her back at the electricity his fingers were causing. When she felt his mouth and teeth devouring her breast, she growled loudly “YES!” while she grabbed handfuls of his hair and pulled him tighter against her breast. She never wanted any space between their skin again. She hissed in a sharp breath as she felt a long thick finger enter her and his thumb found her c**t. She almost came when she felt his hot mouth suck hard on one n****e while his free hand firmly pinched the other. “You’re so f*****g tight and wet for me Kitten. Do you want me to make you c*m?” His plunging finger and circling thumb had found a perfect rhythm that was driving her crazy as they began picking up speed. She felt herself losing control as her hips bucked against his fingers, wanting and needing more of him. “Please!” She begged with tears of need beginning to escape her tightly closed eyes. “You’re so good Kitten. c*m hard for me.” As he groaned out the command, he added another finger to her tight channel while curling them and moving at a lightning speed. She came hard screaming “Yes!” as she threw her head back and clawed his back to pieces. Her body shook as she felt her juices flood his hand.

She barely noticed when his mouth left her breast and moved to the side of her neck. She was functioning on pure instinct as she turned her head to fully expose her marking spot to him. She whimpered when his fingers left her core, but before she could protest she felt him press his now bare c**k against her still pulsing core. She wrapped her legs around his hips, ready to take him fully. His canines scraped back and forth finding the perfect spot to mark his mate. “Mine!” He growled as he licked and sucked the area to prepare her. “Yours!” she purred in anticipation of being marked and mated. Just as he was about to plunge his teeth and c**k into her, the bedroom door burst open with a furious Lucifer.

“Oh no the f**k you don’t you horny flee bitten mutt!” Lucifer shot a blast of air with enough force at Alarick that he went flying into the wall on the other side of the room and blowing out the windows in the process. “When I told Ambrose to talk to my sister and make amends I did not mean for him to mark and mate her the minute she f*****g woke up!” Lucifer stormed in the room with a panicked looking Colton behind him frantically saying, “I’m sorry boss but he insisted on staying on your floor to be close by in case Luna Queen Lilith needed him! I tried to tell him to give you two time alone but the whole castle could tell that our Queen was about to be marked and how the hell am I supposed to stop the damn Devil from going wherever the hell he wants?!”

Alarick groaned as he shook the dust and stone from his hair. He wiped blood from his face as he yanked his shoulder back in place. He grunted in pain with his eyes closed as Lucifer made his way towards him. He opened his eyes and realized he couldn’t stand because his leg and a few ribs were broken and it would take a few minutes to heal without shifting. Just as Lucifer reached him with fist raised to probably knock his head off, Lilith roared so loudly it shook the castle. Screams and shouts could be heard through the broken windows as people panicked, believing that the castle was under attack. Alarick and Ambrose were in awe as Lilith was suddenly crouched in front of him with huge black angel wings that rattled an angry warning. Nobody, including Lucifer, saw her move. She hissed, never breaking eye contact with a pale Lucifer as she carefully crawled backwards towards Alarick. Colton unconsciously knelt on the floor behind Lucifer, baring his neck in submission to his Queen.

When she was sure Lucifer was retreating away from her mate, she scanned Alarick for injuries. She softly whined at a gash on his brow and tilted his head down towards her. She slowly but thoroughly licked the wound clean, allowing her saliva to heal it. Once it was treated, she placed a gentle hand on his shoulder and broken leg. He softly whimpered, not knowing what she was doing. To calm him down, she tucked her face in his neck to rub his marking spot with her nose, letting him know she was scenting him. He immediately melted into her, softly grumbling his acceptance. She let a healing heat flow from her hands through him to his injuries. Once they were healed, she rested her head on his shoulder to give him a moment to gather himself. She heard faint footsteps easing towards the door. Without moving she growled, “You have a 10 second head start, so I’d run if I were you big brother.” There was an audible gulp and then, “But Lilly, I was just protecting you! At least give me my wings back to have a damn chance!” Lilith turned slowly to look at an almost trembling Lucifer. If she weren’t so pissed she’d laugh at the expression of horror on his face when she let her eyes glow red. She stood with a hand stroking her mates hair as he nuzzled her leg through the slit of the robe contentedly. She smiled evilly, showing more fang than usual and purred, “ 5… 4…” Lucifers’ eyes bugged out as he took off running. She heard him scream, “Shiiiiiiiiiit! Somebody, anybody save me!!!!”
