Heirs, 26

(POV: Lina)

I'm lying in my room, reflecting on what happened at the academy with Lena and the others. I can't get that good feeling out of my mind, the sensation of her touch. I wish I could feel it again.

It's been so hard for me all these years without my daughter, without being able to see her first steps, her first baby teeth, the sound of her cry... Fifteen long years carrying this sadness in my chest, the longing is slowly killing me with each passing day, but I need to stay strong for my other two pups. However, one child can't replace the other.

"Lina, my love!" Nicollas enters the room and sits beside me on the bed. "How was it at the academy?" he asks curiously.

"Something strange happened," I take a deep breath. "Before I could even get to the academy, I felt an odd sense of distress, a tightness in my chest, and even my wolf was restless," I pause for a moment to look at him, and I find him listening carefully to every word. "When I arrived, I discovered that the director had taken Lena to the back of the academy," I recall the moment when I approached and saw her cornered. "As I got closer, I saw Melanie transforming to attack the girl, and I couldn't allow it," I say with anger. "I didn't think twice, I transformed and quickly positioned myself between them, putting that witch in her place," I see Nicollas take a deep breath.

"You know that this girl can't replace our daughter, right?" he asks calmly.

"I know, okay?!" I say with a heavy heart. "But she's under our protection, that woman could have killed her," I speak exasperated. "And all because the poor girl beat up Melanie's spoiled son," I cross my arms, staring at my mate.

"I know you miss our little one, I miss her too, a lot," I see his sad gaze. "In all these fifteen years, I haven't stopped waiting for her or searching for her," Nicollas' voice trembles, and he hugs me, resting his head on my shoulder. "I feel useless, Lina."

"Calm down, Nicollas," I ask, seeing my mate's shoulders tremble as he cries, breaking my heart, "You've done everything within your power."

"I'll find her," he says, determined, pulling away from my shoulder and wiping his face with the back of his hand. "She's out there somewhere, and I will find her, I promise," he asserts with a determined look.

"I have no doubt," I say, caressing his handsome face.

I move closer and kiss his neck; I know that this situation is as difficult for him as it is for me. The feeling of helplessness is terrible.

Nicollas takes my lips in a calm kiss and hovers over my body as he lays me down. He doesn't break our lip-lock for a single second. When I feel my back against the soft mattress, he runs his large hands along the side of my body, making me gasp and leaving my panties completely soaked. I let out a moan of pleasure when his skillful hands tear my dress apart, leaving me in just my panties under his body. Without breaking our body contact, he slowly trails his head down my neck, leaving several hot and wet kisses. I feel sore from the need to have him.

He avidly sucks my right breast while one hand teases the other, and his other hand enters my panties, checking how ready I am to receive him.

"Just the way I like it," he says with a deep voice, sending shivers down my spine.

He removes his finger from where it's been and brings it to his mouth, sucking it immediately while staring at me with hungry eyes. I feel like there are butterflies flying in my stomach. It's incredible how much control this male has over my body; I feel my body burning with desire.

Nicollas continues kissing down my body, passing by my belly and heading toward my throbbing core, making me delirious with anticipation.

When his hot lips meet my mound, I can't control myself and let out a loud moan, shivering all over from the excellent job his tongue does at my drenched entrance.

"That's delightful, my little she-wolf," he says, looking into my eyes while slowly running his tongue over my entrance.

"Nicollas," I moan his name, pleadingly.

"What do you want?" he asks me and lightly bites my clit. I roll my eyes in pleasure.

"I need you," I beg.

And before I can say or think anything else, I feel his suction increase, and an overwhelming orgasm takes hold of my body, making me arch my back and moan uncontrollably.

"You're so sweet, my little she-wolf," he says, running his tongue around his lips, savoring the remnants of my orgasm.

Without waiting another second, he removes all his clothes, letting me admire his beautifully bronzed physique. He hovers over my body, positioning himself between my legs, and brushes his member against my entrance.

He takes my lips in a fierce, urgent kiss, needy to forget our problems and frustrations even if just for a few minutes. I surrender completely to the moment, and I feel him enter me in one swift thrust, making us both moan together. His thrusts are strong, fast, and hard. I release my lips from his and let my head fall back, just moaning as I feel all that power inside me. His head descends to my neck, leaving a bite followed by a hickey that leaves me on the edge of the cliff again.

His member hits deeper and deeper inside me, and I feel my core clench, announcing another orgasm.

"Come with me, my she-wolf," he gives the command, and I feel him swell; then, without further delay, we reach our climax together.

"You're always amazing," I say as he lies down beside me and pulls me to rest on his chest.

"I love you, Lina," I feel a kiss being placed on the top of my head.

"I love you, Nicollas," I say, kissing his chest. It's for him and my children that I keep my sanity. I close my eyes, surrendering to exhaustion.
