The Queen of the Rogues

Announcement

“Thank you for this Heather,” Amanda thanked her sister again as they made their way towards the stage. There has been times Heather had blamed her for taking attention from her.

Heather squeezed her sisters hand. “I’m really excited for you. And we always knew you were going to be Queen. That was always hard. But I’m older now. And I have met my mate and I get it. I get it sis,” she smiled at her.

Amanda stopped to hug her sister “thank you. I love you. And I have always always been so proud of you”, she whispered in her ear.

They all took the stage as King Richard approached the microphone. Alpha James signalled to the DJ to stop the music.

“Good evening,” his Royal Alpha voice commanded. “Please everyone take your seats. We have an announcement,”

The crowd quickly rushed to their seats.

“Tonight, we have been fortunate for our daughter, Princess Heather, to have become Luna of the Golden Moon Pack. Strengthening the unity of the bond between the Kingdom and golden moon.” The members of Golden Moon Pack howled with pride for their new Luna.

“We have also,” the King continued, “been fortunate to find our first Destined Pair in 150 years,”.

The crowd went silent with the exception of a few gasps and whispers.

“Our oldest daughter and your future Queen, Princess Amanda, has found her mate and they have been determined to be the Destined Pair. Jake, the second son of Alpha Abraham and younger brother of Alpha Abe, of the Silver Moon Pack.” He bellowed excitedly, gesturing for Amanda and Jake to join him.

The crowd went wild. The applause and cheers was deafening and echoed deep into the night sky.

“Please join me as we pledge our allegiance to our future King and Queen of the Americas!” He said, as he took a knee.

Amanda gasped. There is no one that could make her father drop to his knee (with the exception of maybe her mother) but as he dropped so did Queen Christine and Alpha Abraham. The others on stage dropped as did a Kyle and Max, who were standing off the stage. All of the Alpha’s present followed suit and soon everyone was on one knee. The crowd was silent.

“Stand!” Jake bellowed, raising his arms as spoke. Without a microphone his voice echoed effortlessly throughout the fields.

Everyone stood and the applause was thunderous.

“We are the North. We stand united!” He shouted. The ground was shaking and Amanda stood proudly beside him

“Our people” she spoke and the crowd instantly stilled. “It is an honour to stand here with you. Our commitment is to you. To making change and peace amongst our kind. Thank you!”

Amanda bowed to the crowd creating another thunderous applause.

“They love you!” Jake mind linked her, raising her hand to the air.

“They love us!” She quickly corrected him. He twirled her in close, causing her to giggle as his lips crashed into hers.

The music started back up as the loud cheers and whistles died down.

The party continued and the drinks were flowing. Amanda and Jake wandered through the crowd with Kyle and Max not far away. They were greeted with bows and congratulatory wishes there were a few cross Alpha’s, including Alpha John, but overall most were more than happy to take a knee for their future King and Queen.

Amanda stood talking to an older couple who spoke of her great great grandparents. “You look so much like your great great grandmother,” the woman said. “You might even be prettier,” she smiled fondly. “Isn’t she pretty dear?” She encouraged her husband.

Amanda laughed gently. “Make up has come a long way in 150 years,” she told them gently. The old woman was likely near 100. She spoke of being a child when her great great grandmother was brought in as queen.

She heard a whistle and looked up. Jake was standing at the edge of the tent, his blue eyes filled with mischief. A bottle of champagne and 2 glasses in his hand.

“Excuse me,” she bowed to them. “I believe my mate needs me,” she grinned and shook their hands again.

“They’re going to f**k like wolves,” she overheard the old man say as she walked away. She could barely stifle her laughter as she approached Jake.

“What’s so funny love?” He asked her. She told him about the couple and he howled in laughter.

“Let’s sneak off for a bit,” he leaned in and nibbled her ear. She nodded eagerly , taking his hand as he lead her to the guest cottage.

His kissed her softly, closing the door with his foot. Amanda took a seat on the couch as he popped open the champagne and poured them each a glass placing the bottle on the coffee table.

“Quite the first date,” amanda commented, taking a sip from her glass, mischief in her eyes.

“A toast?” Jake suggested, raising his glass. “To us,” he proclaimed, clinking her glass

“To us,” she agreed, taking the rest of her drink down, making him laugh.

“I love your laugh,” she smiled at him.

“And I love you,” he whispered, taking g their empty glasses and putting them on the table.

Before she knew it she was back in his arms. They were so warm, so safe. Their lips crashed together and they kissed harder and deeper. The bond now full, they could not contain it. He lifted her dress, running his hand up her thigh. Finding her centre we for him already caused a low growl. He slid down her thong , as she undid his pants. Sliding them down around his ankles as his fingers moved in and out of her. Feeling bold, she lifted her dress and bent over the arm of the couch. Growling his approval, Jake started thrusting deep into her from behind, his fingers reaching around the front of her and assaulting her c**t as they came together.

After they adjusted and cleaned up, she kissed his lips. “I love you forever,” she smiled sweetly at him.

“And I love you my Queen,” he kissed her again.

Pouring a glass of champagne they clinked glasses then drank them back quickly.

“My little frat boy,” he teased her grinning.

She could a feel a slight buzz from the champagne. And nuzzled his chest, taking in his scent.

Just then the door crashed open.

That was when Amanda heard the chaos. The sounds of wolves snapping at each other and

“Amanda! Jake!” Kyle was breathless and Max was in wolf form. “We need to go!” He reached for Amanda’s hand.

“What’s going on?” Jake held Amanda close, not prepared to let her go.

“Rogues are attacking! I need to get you somewhere safe!” He reached again for Amanda’s hand.

“We need to stay and fight with our people!” Amanda exclaimed.

“No. We need to get you the f**k out!” Kyle exclaimed. “Your parents and sister have gone with their guards,”.

Jake looked at Kyle. “Guard her with your life?” He asked.

“Always sir,” Kyle responded seriously.

Jake nodded. He turned to Amanda. “Go. Please. I promised your father. I will fight. I will win. There’s no fear in that. But so long as you’re here, you are a target,” he cupped her face, kissing her lips. Confidence and love shine through his face.

Amanda’s heart was racing. “I don’t want to be without you!” She begged him.

“It won’t be longer than an hour or 2. Let me know where you end up. I will be there ,” he kissed her again. “I love you my queen. My mate. I love you so much,” he kissed her again.

Amanda reluctantly too Kyle’s hand as he pulled her into the waiting SUV.

“Keep her safe!” Jake nodded as Kyle got her in the back.

Kyle nodded as he got in the car. Amanda turned to watch Jake shift to his wolf Demetrius. The largest pure black wolf she had ever seen. She took a few deep breaths as the raced away, back to the kingdom.
