The Prince's Mate

Chapter Five

Mason

The full moon is high in the sky, and all of us are anxious to shed our human form and shift into our wolves. My parents are standing in front of the forest, I am standing in front of the rest of the wolves with Callie by my side. 

I am ready to see what she can do. My parents shift into their wolves, my Father is a huge black wolf, while my mother is one of the last of her kind, the white wolf. They lift their massive heads to the sky and howl. All of us shift into our wolves and join them. 

I turn and look at Callie and her wolf is beautiful. She is larger than most she wolves and her eyes are almost green, with her fur grey and black mixed together. I look just like my father, and am larger than most males due to my Royal bloodline. 

After we howl at the moon all the wolves take off, the newly found mates sticking together to enjoy the power of the full moon. I want to see what Callie is made of and I decide to sneak attack her. 

She is running through a meadow and I plow into her side, she reacts quickly, shifting into a defensive stance. She raises her hackles at me, showing her sharp canines. She charges towards me and I am so surprised at her boldness that she knocks me over and pins me to the ground, growling in my face. Well. That was unexpected.

Callie

After my father's lovely outburst, I am a little nervous to shift into my wolf in front of everybody. Of course my pack already knows what I am made of but what if Mason wants somebody who is more submissive? What if my own mate doesn't want me just because of how independent I am?

 We have all gathered in front of the forest under the full moon, waiting for the King and Queen to signal the shift. I am in the front row with Mason by my side, Chelsea is to my right. 

Are you ready for this? 

I mind link her back, Well, I am a little nervous now that you guys had to let Mr.Royal over here know how strong I am. 

She rolls her eyes at me and doesn't respond. The King and Queen shift and the Queen looks just as elegant in wolf form as she does in human form! Her fur is silky and white, which is very rare and her eyes are bright blue against the white contrast of her fur. 

The king is the absolute biggest wolf I have ever seen in my life. The tilt their heads back and howl at the moon. Everything in my body surges and I am my beautiful wolf. 

We all howl to the moon and the power I feel radiating through my body is amazing. We all surge forward, loving the feeling of power the moon gives us. I am in a meadow, letting my body feel all my senses more thoroughly which is why I let Mason think he got the jump on me.

 He tackles me in my side and I immediately jump into my defensive stance and tackle him head on. He wanted to see what I was made of so I am going to let him have a little taste. 

Mason

I feel a whimper leave my throat and her eyes go wide.

 Are you kidding me right now Axel? Why are you whining like a little puppy? We are Royal bloodlines! 

He scoffs in my head and says, She is our mate, and the power of the full moon under her belt? She is kind of scary. 

Callie is giving me a wolfy grin and I shove her off me. She is too wrapped up in her victory that she doesn't see it coming and goes sprawling on the grass.

 I jump on her back and grab her by the scruff, flipping her over and shoving my head in her belly, demanding submission. 

I see the fire in her eyes and she snaps her jaws at me, trying to show her dominance. I push my head in further, dodging her jaws and growling loudly. I can sense other wolves around us and they need to know who is the boss here.

Callie

He whimpered. He literally whimpered like a little puppy when I growled at him. I am fully aware there are other wolves watching us from the trees and I am about to give them a show. Mate or not, I am a dominant female and I will be nothing less than that. 

You're right! He thinks he can control us just because he is bigg-

I am pulled out of my little victory celebration by being thrown threw the air. Damn it, I can't let him get the upper hand. Before I react, He is on my back and he grabs my scruff. Is he serious right now? That is what older wolves do to newly shifted wolves to show their dominance. 

He flips me over and shoves his head in my stomach and growls at me! 

He growled at me! And a Royal growl triggers a deeper part of my wolf that wants to submit. Fight it! He can see the defiance in my eyes and I snap my jaws at him, fighting as hard as I can against the submission. 

He growls even louder and pushes his head further in my stomach. I roll my head exposing my neck and whimper. He licks my mouth gently and lets me up. I can't believe that just happened. 

Mason

I can't believe that just happened. She actually submitted to me. Quick! We have to be gentle with her now or she might get scared and run. She exposed her neck to us, that means she is submitting!  

I lick her mouth and she licks me back. I let her up and she shakes out her fur jumping around me playfully. Thank Goddess.

 All the watching wolves have went off on their own and I decide to take Callie back to the pack house which is where I am staying. Chelsea and Alex had the same idea so we all shift and get dressed then head to the fire pit they have in the back of the pack house. It is really nice being able to just relax and not having to deal with all the royal issues.

 Callie is dressed in a light, airy dress that has floral print and light colored sandals. Honestly this girl could wear a potato sack and would look ravishing. Callie walks up to me and puts her arms around me. She leans up and whispers in my ear, "Let's complete the mating ceremony."
