Chapter 18 The Reveal

Alexander

He held onto his control tightly, not letting his wolf take over completely. He would have pounced on Anna without second thoughts. He had decided to shift into his animal form instead of his lycan. The latter would have scared her mate even more.

His sensitive ears flapped to the back of his head, hearing her ragged breathing. Her heart pounded profusely. Thank Goddess she didn't faint. He was expecting that to happen. His wolf whined. Loathe scaring their mate.

His wolf moved down to his hunches, bowing to their queen, and crawled timidly towards her, tail wagging. Good. His wolf was not aggressive towards Anna.

-I will never hurt mate, dumbass.

He smirked. Knowing how crazy he was over their mate. Through his eyes, he can see Anna approached them slowly, licking her lips, nervous and alert.

Wolf and man were barely breathing, wary of what she planned to do. His wolf whined. She stopped a few feet before his beast and he dropped completely on his belly.

She raised her trembling hand to touch his wolf's thick mane, running her delicate fingers down to the furry chest. His wolf shuddered in ecstasy. His brave little mate. He thought proudly.

"Alexander?" She whispered. Her voice was breathless. She kept wetting her dry lips. Unsure of the situation. Goddess, he believed she was doing great. So far, she had not run away from them.

He watched, amused, his wolf licked her face, she shrieked but didn't push away the tender gesture. "Bad dog!" His wolf huffed. Happy and elated to be accepted by their Queen Luna.

They were the most feared wolf in the Lycanthrope realm yet his beast was acting like a pup in her hands.

"I am still a bit of shock. Although I should be afraid, I am not. Can you be my Xander again? I mean to turn back to human form?"

-I want mate.

-Let me assure our mate she is safe. You can meet her again later.

His wolf growled lowly though he reluctantly consented. He imagined himself human, shifting back in a matter of seconds.

Surprised when she launched herself in his arms, on tippy-toes, she wrapped her slender arms around his neck. He groaned in relief. He was so afraid she would walk away.

"Xander," She breathed on his chest. "I am here to stay, my soulmate."

"I was so afraid, mia anima. I wanted to tell you the truth since the day we met," he closed his eyes in agony. He couldn't bear the thought of her leaving him.

"I am here to stay. I don't care if you are a wolf or whatever. All I care about is you. Us." She declared in earnest. Declaring her commitment.

Goddess! His Anna was one of a kind. "I have a lot to tell you, mia anima."

"Ok. Let's talk while we have time. Wait! Put your pants back on, Xander. You are too distracting!" He smirked. He knew she loved ogling him, even if she does not admit it.

"I am distracting?" He growled playfully. Inhaling her neck, savoring her delicious scent.

Suddenly hauling her in his arms --ignoring her shriek of outrage-- he navigated the distance to the nearest sofa and arranged her on his lap. His throbbing cock in between them. He chose to ignore it for the moment.

"Ok. I am listening." He rather liked this new her. She was getting confident.

"I am a wolf and you are my mate. In each lifetime, the Moon Goddess will gift us a soulmate. The other half of us. I would want no other but you. The bond we have is stronger than any relationship in this world, stronger than marriage. I will forever be faithful to you and you to me." She leaned her temple on his shoulder, he combed her silky russet strands, soothing her and himself.

"Are there a lot of you out there?"

"Yes, mia anima. Alexie and Michael are mates. All the people in this pack are wolves. Mostly all my employees as well. There is only a handful of humans we employ." They made sure to keep their race a secret. Most humans fear what they don't understand.

"Wow. And Sofia and Oliver? Doctor Xavier?" Her eyes were wide. He had expected to see fear, not excitement. As he said before, one of a kind.

"They are a different race. Though, I assure you they will never hurt us most especially your sister Mish." Goddess. How will he explain this to her? There were a lot of misconceptions about vampires. They were mostly portrayed as villains in movies.

"What are they? Please tell me? I trust your judgment." And he trusted her implicitly. He closed his eyes briefly, gathering his thoughts.

"They are vampires," he paused. Waiting for her reaction. She was staring at him in skepticism. Then she nodded in acceptance.

Goddess. His Queen was made of sterner stuff.

"And I thought Twilight was a shitty movie," She muttered. He chuckled at her dry humor. That was what he thought too. He had to endure those movies when his sister conned him into watching with her.

"Your sister Michelle. She is very important to their kingdom." Had to help out his friend Xavier here.

"Why?"

"She is Xavier's beloved. Like us wolves, vampires also have soulmates. They call them beloved. That's why your sister dreamt of him constantly. Their souls are entwined. She needed Xavier to save her."

"But Mish is just sixteen!"

"I know, mio amore. Don't worry, Xavier is a true gentleman. He knows his limits. He respects your sister, I know he will start courting her when she comes of age. I just want to tell you he can't be without her, especially now that your sister is still sick." It will drive his vampire beast to bloodlust. With all that was happening, they could not afford that.

"Ok. I'm only consenting because you trust him and I trust you." His heart constricted. She doesn't know how much her words mean to him.

"Thank you, baby girl. Now let's go back to us." He kissed her pouting lips softly. Making her smile. His cock responded. Twitching. It was throbbing hard between them. Shit! They need to hurry up. He was dying for relief.

"There's more?" She teased. He tickled her sides, making her squirm. "Ok. Xander! Stop!" She giggled. Fuck! He loved that sound.

"I have to tell you something. It's very important," She needed to know what their bonding would entail.

"What is it?" He stared into her amber eyes deeply. He wouldn't want to miss her reaction.

"You now know that we are soulmates in every sense of the word. To complete the bond, I need to mate with you then mark you. It will merge our souls into one. We will feel each other's emotions, read each other's thoughts. Most importantly, you will gain strength, you won't get sick and you will stop aging." There were a lot of emotions swirling in her eyes. Disbelief, shock, awe. The most important one reflected was love and understanding.

"If you had stopped aging, how old are you exactly?" Shit! He was hoping she would not ask.

"I stopped aging at twenty-eight," he rubbed the back of his neck. Stalling before he answered. Will she be disappointed?

"Xan--der," he sighed. No escape for him.

"I'm 167 years old." He waited for her reaction. She pursed her pink lips.

"Oh. Ok. I can leave with that. We are going to live a long life? You and I?"

"A very long and ageless life."

"Cool. How are you going to mark me?"

"I will bite you here, " She shuddered when he traced her collarbone down to her shoulder, tugging her shirt to the side. He licked his lips in anticipation. Soon.

"Will I turn into a wolf?" Her hot breath teased the side of his face. He trembled at the thought of them mating in wolf form. Yes. She can turn into a wolf by biting him until she drew blood. He could feel his erection pulsing, he doesn't have to look down to check if he secreted precum. He could feel and smell it.

"If you want to. Yes. All you have to do is bite me during our mating ceremony and during lovemaking until you taste my blood." Her eyes darkened, imagining it. Fuck! Her sweet scent of arousal was heady. Her pussy was getting wet from the idea.

"I would like that, Xander." She pulled his head down as she hungrily kissed his lips. He was surprised at first then he matched her hunger.

He tugged at her shirt, uncaring if he ripped it in the process. She whimpered, impatient, keeping their kiss hot, gripping his locks to hold him in place. She sucked his tongue erotically and his control snapped. Tangling his fingers in her strands, he parted their swollen lips, ignoring her moan of protest.

He laid her on the sofa and made short work of her clothes. Loving the tearing sounds echoing in his office. Their breaths were ragged. He halted to cool their ardor.

He does not want to be rough and he was on the verge of it.

Alexander could not mark her yet. He wanted that event to be perfect, preferably after the mating ceremony and her ascent to the throne. If it was the Goddess's will, her heat will come soon after. He couldn't wait to give her pups.

But it doesn't mean that right now they couldn't taste each other. She looked so beautifully disheveled on the black cushion. Her pink nipples pebbled, waiting for his mouth. Her moist pussy lips swollen, waiting for his tongue.

Fuck it! He opened her legs wider settling in between. Groaning at the feel of his eager dick nestled on her moist slit.

"Xander, please let me taste you as well." His eyes narrowed at her flushed face. Was she insinuating what he was thinking? He hissed at her dainty hands wrapped on his throbbing cock. More pre-cum seeped from the slit. She licked her lips eagerly. Motherfucker!

His mate pushed him so he laid on his back, reversing their position. He watched with bated breath --she began to caress his full length with her two delicate hands, spreading his precum all over the swollen head down to his heavy balls. Goddess! He had just died and gone to heaven.

"Oh, fuck!" He cursed savagely, gritting his teeth. She unexpectedly licked his cockhead and hummed appreciatively at his taste.

"Am I doing this right, Xander?" She asked. Uncertain. He will die if she would even be more perfect.

"You are doing everything right, mio amore. So fucking perfect!" Almost had a heart attack when she opened her mouth, delicately sucking the head while she moved her hands up and down his length. He couldn't help it, he arched his hips, burying a few inches in her hot mouth. She moaned her encouragement, doing it again.

Not going to fucking last! His balls tighten and his wolf howled. Fuck! His canines pierced his lips, scenting his mate's arousal. Based on her moans, she loved pleasuring him. Goddess! Anna will be the death of him. He groaned feelingly.

"Babygirl, I will come in your mouth if you don't stop," he snarled. Almost at the breaking point. Her eyes were glazed with lust, her lips swollen and moist from sucking him off. She was the single most beautiful woman he had ever seen.

"Let me taste you, Xander. Please." She panted on his moist cockhead, her hot breath erotic, making his thighs jerk. Damn! How can he resist what she wanted? He gripped her nape guiding her back to my pulsing rod.

"Open your mouth, mio amore. Now!" He growled through his tight lips. His jaw locked in place.

His eyes rolled to the back of his head as she sucked more greedily, her wet hands smoothly jerking his thick wet length. Up and down. His stomach and balls tightened. Every sinew and muscle quivered. He knew he was about to come.

He roared and roared. His first jet of cum shoots from the slit right to her mouth. She tried to swallow all but it was too much for her. She panted, trying to breathe --more of his semen ejaculated on her chests, some on her hair, and some on her neck.

The sight was so fucking hot, his cock refused to lose its hardness.

Effortlessly pulling her up, positioning her comfortably sprawled on his shoulders, her creamy legs on either side of his face. Without the slightest hesitation, he swiped his eager tongue on her soaked pussy. Swirling her clit, sucking, and drinking her juices.

"Alexander..." She arched her back sexily, holding onto his head.

"Ride my face, baby girl," he murmured, his lips massaging her nubbin. He reached down to jack off his rigid cock while he ate her delicious pussy. His other hand massaged her swaying breast, guiding her to the rhythm.

"Oh God, Xander." Whimpering in pleasure she rode his tongue --edging more to orgasm. He eagerly lapped at her juices, silently asking for more. Pinching her nipple while sucking her clit, she came hard screaming his name. He groaned at her taste, his dick jerked in his hand, cumming with her.

His heaven was right here in his arms.

Holy shit! He couldn't wait to spend a lifetime with his precious mate.

"Anna, why do you have purple rushes all over your neck?" He snickered at Rie's question. Pleased with his art last night and early morning.

He glanced at his mate and his eyes widened, realizing what was happening. He bolted out of his chair when she began to choke on her beef. Coughing and gasping for air.

Fuck! He poured her a glass of water, letting her drink it slowly, patting her back, and wiping her lips with the soft table napkin while glaring at Alexie and Sofia, their laughter chiming at the huge dining table.

"I...ah...I have allergies, Rie." His Anna's cheeks were blazing red. He acknowledged it was quite amusing, however, it was never fun to see his mate choked.

"So that's what they call it these days?" Sofia asked. Mirth dancing in her expressive blue eyes. Alexie snorted.

"Ok. I am missing the joke here. Nevermind." She went back to her meal. Eating heartily. In deference to their vampire guests, all the large windows were covered in thick drapes. No, their skin does not roast right away from direct sunlight, it glimmers like diamonds under the glare of light. Nonetheless, too much exposure could lead to their bodies steaming with heat and severe blister-like rashes will appear. In rare cases, it will look like a second-degree burn. They stay out of it as much as possible.

"Rie, since I don't have work until tomorrow, do you want to go out this afternoon?" He listened to his mate with half an ear while he gave instructions to Alexie through their mind link to prepare for the mating ceremony in a week. She gasped in excitement.

-Goddess, I am so happy for you, brother.

-Please help your Queen Luna prepare for the coronation and mating ceremony.

-Does she know she will be crowned as your queen?

-Fuck. We got distracted.

-Yeah. We can scent it.

-I will tell her tonight.

-Please do. I will call mom. We need her.

-Do that.

"Can we go now, sis?"

"Um... Maybe when it is not so hot anymore?" Anna glanced at Sofia. Ah, selfless. She wanted their guests to join in the fun as well. Sofia smiled at her, appreciating her kindness.

"Yup! Can we go at 5:30? The sun had set by then."

"That's perfect. I want to do some shopping for the babies!" Sofia chirped.

"What about Mish, Anna?"

"Your sister will be fine, Rie. She's receiving great care from her doctor."

Which reminded him to tell Xavier that Anna gave her full consent to let him stay in Mish's room all the time.

With the way things were running smoothly, nothing could ever dispel his satisfied and delicious mood today. His Queen Luna had made sure of that.
