The Lycan Queen

The bond prevails

I woke to the sweet smell of cinnamon and spiced apple wrapped around me. My entire body erupted in pleasurable sparks. I could feel Ajax's body tightly wrapped around me. I lay there for a moment enjoying every tingle.

"Hmmmh." A deep hum came from Ajax's chest as he started to stir and deeply inhaled into the back of my neck.

"My Angel, you smell divine." His sleepy voice was deep and rough. It sent shivers down my spine and butterflies fluttered in my groin. He shifted back away from me and pulled my back flat to the bed, rolling on top of me before I could protest. His body forced my thighs to spread open as he lay his weight down between them. A moan escaped my lips and only encouraged him further. My body craved his every touch, sparks flying through me. He knelt on the bed between my thighs with his right knee and used his left elbow above my shoulder to lift his weight above me slightly. My back arched toward him as my body craved constant contact. His right hand began trailing up the side of my leg, over my hip. He slid his hand under his shirt that I was still wearing and up my stomach and lightly grasped my breast. I bent my head back and let out a louder moan, instantly giving access to my neck. He began his attack further by trailing light soft kisses from my shoulder, up my neck and nipped lightly at my ear lobe all whilst massaging my breast.

"Ajax." I moaned his name. His erection was hard against me. My body quivered.

"We can't." I tried to protest. That only made him start to grind his erection against my c**t. My eyes rolled to the back of my head.

"Don't fight it." Sapphire was purring in my mind.

"Don't be a third wheel, Saph." I blocked her out.

"Don't you want me?" He breathed against my ear. Yes, I thought. I wanted every part of him. I couldn't resist.

"Yes," I hissed, and without any warning he forced himself inside of me. Pain instantly shot through me and I stiffened. He remained still, waiting for my body to adjust to his size. As the pain subsided, I started to move my hips, indicating that I wanted more. He obliged but only moved slowly. Pleasure is starting to radiate through my body. I wrapped my arms around his neck, pulling him into an intimate kiss. He began quickening his pace into me as his tongue began to invade my mouth. I moaned to him, making him increase his pace even more, and I began to feel my orgasm coming to light. The faster he moved, the deeper he delved into me, my body began to stiffen beneath him. I broke our kiss and moved my mouth to his neck, lightly nipping the area where I would mark him. His body shivered, reacting to me. He pounded deeper, which began to send me over the edge. My orgasm unraveling, My fangs started elongating and I bit down hard onto his neck instantly causing his own orgasm to unwind. I released and licked the bite to seal it. He moved his lips to my neck and bit down hard, sending another shock wave through me and my orgasm further. When he let go, a white light shone through my mark, sealing it. Cresting the mark in silver roses. "Whoa," Ajax whispered under his breath. We lay there for a bit entangled around one another, catching our breath.

"That was incredible." I whispered into his ear.

"Not as incredible as you are, my Queen." he groaned to me.

"I didn't know vampires could mark a werewolf." I admitted.

"I didn't either." He also admitted. I looked at him confused.

"I can feel it, Aurora. The bond. I felt the instinct to mark you. I've been feeling it since I met you. I don't know how," he explained.

"Vampires cannot feel a mate bond. a slight pull towards me maybe, but nothing like the bond a wolf feels." I said it bluntly, this was confusing me.

"I'm well aware, Aurora, I think this has something to do with your powers, it's like you are projecting the bond on to me." He replied. I thought about it for a moment. If I had been doing this, I would have been completely unaware of it.

"If you can feel the mate bond like a wolf can, then maybe..." I trailed off for a moment lost in thought.

"Maybe you can hear this?" I reached out to him via a mind link and, judging by his shocked reaction, I knew he heard me.

"Incredible," I muttered.

"How is this possible?" His voice drifted through my mind.

"I have no idea Ajax. I've never heard of anything like this happening before.

Wolves and vampires have been mated to one another for sure, but, vampires have never reported feeling the bond, a strong pull towards their mate at most, but nothing like the bond. A mind link between a wolf and a vampire? Now I know that's never been heard of. A mind link is sacred between mated wolves. A Queen like me can link her entire pack but only her pack members. No other wolf can stretch to that capacity. Betas and gammas can link anyone with a title and their warriors and mates, of course." I explained how it worked to him.

"But you are no ordinary wolf, are you Aurora?" He questioned. I looked at him puzzled.

"Of course I am," I scoffed.

"No Aurora, you are not. You have these great powers stronger than any supernatural being I have encountered. Just look at your mark Aurora!" He pointed to my neck. I felt it with my fingers. It felt cold like metal. I rushed to a mirror across the room and gazed upon my mark. Silver roses crested from his vampire bite, the bite lined with a silver seal.

"Silver." I uttered with complete disbelief.

"Aurora. If you were a normal werewolf, that mark would burn right through your skin. Your body sealed the mark itself when I let go. The wound filled with the only metal known to kill a werewolf." I continued to gaze into the mirror at the reflection of my mark. It was beautiful.

"What does this mean?" I asked with slight fear in my voice.

"I only have assumptions, Aurora. Your answers are on that battlefield. Your father would be the only one that can answer that question." I glared at him. f**k. My Father. My Laws. Oh, just about everything! I scolded myself. I couldn't even entertain the dreaded thoughts that wanted to flood my mind right now. "Your assumptions?" I disregarded any mention of my father.

"That you are a Lycan Queen, Aurora," he suggested. I burst out laughing, earning me a frown from Ajax.

"I'm sorry, It's just a ridiculous suggestion." I replied as I wiped tears from my eyes from my outburst of laughter, still, slightly chuckling at him.

"Oh? How so?" He questioned.

"I think I would know if the Moon Goddess herself was my mother. Don't you?" Sarcasm lacing my tone.

"Where is your mother?" He questioned.

"She died giving birth to me. I think my father blames me, as we never see eye to eye." My voice fell.

"Have you not asked him about her?" He questioned, walking over to me. He placed his hand on my shoulder.

"No. Every time I have asked in the past, he just tells me the same thing. No one speaks of her. Its as if-" My voice trailed off not wanting to finish my sentence.

"As if she never existed?" Ajax finished for me.

I stared at my reflection, not knowing what to think. Sadness is sinking my emotions. Ajax swooped me up into his arms, cradling me.

"I can feel your sadness, Aurora," he claimed as he comforted me in his arms.

"It's the bond," I admitted. He must really be able to feel it. I let his scent soothe me, my body relaxed instantly. We stood there for a moment enjoying the embrace. He walked back over to the bed and placed me down on it. He edged towards the bedside table and opened the drawer, pulling out a gold locket necklace.

"This was my mother's," His voice was soft as he looked at my face.

"Do you trust me Aurora?" I sat up and budged over to where he stood with a slightly puzzled look on my face.

"Yes. Why?" I questioned him.

"Hold out your arm, my sweet." He softly demanded.

I stared at him, wondering what he was going to do, but obliged him. Hesitantly, I held out my arm towards him. He dangled the necklace from his hand and slowly moved it towards my arm. The gold began to glow red and my skin started to burn. I winced, pulling my arm away from him. He winced, dropping the necklace to the floor. He stood in shock.

"What the hell was that?" I snipped, holding the burn on my arm still.

"Only gold can burn a Lycan, Aurora" he answered whilst grabbing his arm. He pulled his sleeve back, revealing the same burn on his arm. He glanced back and forth from my arm to his in disbelief.

"Our bond is much stronger than I thought. We not only feel each others emotions but each others pain too." I explained to him, helping him to understand what had just happened. I held my arm out next to his, revealing the identical burns beside one another. I hovered my hand just above them, closed my eyes and focused my energy on the burns. A glow started to form in my palm and the burns faded away. Healing them completely and ceasing all pain.

"You are magnificent, Aurora." His voice filled with astonishment. He pulled me off the bed to stand before him and leaned into me, holding my lips against his, embracing us in a deep kiss. I broke our kiss, pulling away from him.

"So, I am a Lycan?" I asked hesitantly. He nodded slowly.

"The real question is, What are you doing down here instead of being up there?" He gestured up in the air with his hands. I shrugged.

"I'd rather be down here with you either way," I admitted. He flashed a big grin at me.

"I'd rather be up there with you with what's to come for us, my love." He joked. s**t, I thought. So much has happened since our Armies collided and now laws have been broken. No one would believe us. Anxiety and fear flooded my emotions and I glanced into Ajax's eyes.

"Yes, my dear, we are doomed if you unfreeze our armies. A world of hell awaits us." He acknowledged the fear through our bond.

"Lets go hunting, we can worry about unfreezing them later. I need enough energy to do it anyway." I suggested trying not to make it obvious that I was putting it off. He smiled at me and nodded in agreement, holding his hand out to me for me to take so he could guide me out of the tent. I pulled his shirt off, revealing my naked body. Ajax's eyes searched all over me. I rolled my eyes and gave Sapphire full control for our shift. She shook out her fur and trotted up to Ajax, rubbing herself against him and then licking his cheek. Ajax laughed in response.

"It's nice to meet you on better terms." He chuckled, stroking her head.

"Come on then, let's get on with it. We will race you." I linked them both.

Unknown P.O.V

I cracked the whip at it again, aiming through the steel cage and cracking it against its beastly side, causing it to yelp out in pain.

"You will do as I say, beast! Now turn back into that pathetic little slut."

The beast started to snarl through its teeth. I held the whip in the air once more with anger written clearly on my features. It whined and bowed to submission. I watched the beauty of the beast morph into the girl with a sickening grin on my face. She curled into a ball, naked as a newborn and cowering pathetically.

"You will earn me a pretty fortune beast." I spat through the bars. Venom laced my tone. She began to sob.

"Shut it girl. Don't make me use this again." I tapped the whip against the bars of the cage.

Aurora P.O.V

We got back to the battle camp completely out of breath. He was the fastest creature I have ever come across, but I could keep up with him. No wolf can run at vampire speeds, but I was beginning to admit to myself that I am not a normal wolf.

"You continue to Amaze me Aurora. I'm impressed." He huffed out trying to catch his breath. Sapphire shot him a low growl and shook out her fur. Ajax raised his hands to plead with her instantly.

"Wow wow wow, you too, Saph! You amaze me as well, my beautiful glorious creature." He stuttered, trying to calm her. Saph shook her head and huffed.

"We need to go to the battlefield. While I have loved prancing around in your shirt, there are clothes in my wagon." I linked.

"Come on, let's go." He linked back and we set off toward the battlefield. Sapphire ran graciously, her fur flowing in the wind. Every time we looked towards Ajax, we could see him admiring us. His gaze was filled with pure astonishment and adoration for us. We bounded over fallen logs and weaved through trees effortlessly. Soon we arrived at the wagons in the tree line. Once outside of my wagon, Sapphire gave me the reigns and we shifted back. I clambered into my wagon, rummaging around the chest through the clothes and quickly put on a shirt and trousers that I had found. I rummaged through again, finding a pair of boots and pulling them on. Ahh, better. I thought. I hopped out of the wagon to see Ajax leaning against a tree watching me with an amused expression on his face.

"What?" I asked.

"Oh, nothing. Just admiring the view." He responded, earning an eye roll from me.

"Stop admiring and come on." I nodded my head, gesturing the way that we should walk.

We started walking along the tree line, the battle still lay frozen in time. Suddenly, Ajax grabbed my arm. Apprehensions seeping through our bond coming from him.

"Shh." He demanded, pulling me into the tree line away from the battlefield. I turned to look at him with a confused expression on my face, but my expression dropped when I saw his eyes. They were pure black, like deep dark pits. He stared out over the field fixated on something.

"Ajax, what's going on?" I turned to see what he was looking at. I was growing concerned but I couldn't see anything.

"Humans." His voice now low and deep.
