Such a spirit – worthy of a Luna. Worthy of a Queen. His Queen.

“Otherwise,” Riannon went on, “how does that make you different from your father?”

Those words struck him harder than she could imagine. He hated his father. He hated everything that his father represented. The last thing he wanted was to be like him. In any way.

It was different with all those other girls. The scent was just foreplay in most she didn’t. She gave him no reaction when he touched her. She didn’t even have to say ‘no’ for him to know that he did not have her consent.

All those other girls did not have mates. This woman that he wanted so much did.

He crashed his fist into the wall right next to her head, creating a dent. But she did not even flinch, holding his glare with dignity. And leaving him no choice.

He planned to kill the western lycan king for a while already. Now he wanted to kill him. He needed it. Because it was the only way to get what he so desperately desired.

“You are prohibited from entering the Eden,” he snarled as he stepped away from her and to his displeasure, he noticed relief on her face.

“Who do you think you are? God?” she chuckled darkly. “Here I am everything!”

he snarled.

She did not respond and he did not feel like telling her anything else. The night was already ruined.

He was already at the door when he stopped without turning to her, “You will get used to it. Time will help.”

She was definitely going to say something. Something that he did not want to hear, so he left before he had the chance to hear it…

For the first time ever Savannah was happy. Truly happy.

It wasn’t like she was particularly unhappy before. She was lucky to have a great life and she knew it. Even despite the early death of her parents, she was well taken care of, and she always had everything she wanted or needed. She even had people that cared about her. And she cared a great deal about them.

She missed her parents and what they could have given her if they were around every day and the pain of losing them always lived inside of her. She also always felt the weight of her royal responsibilities. But she could handle it, knowing that her brother and Reid were dealing with what was really hard and tricky. So, she

But now she was about to start a completely new life. The Moon Goddess was kind to her and sent her a true mate. Something she always dreamt of but was too afraid to even say it out loud.

Yet here he was.

She took another peek at Zack, who looked incredibly handsome as he was driving the car. Without turning his attention away from the road, he found her hand and squeezed it gently.

He was handsome and from what she had already heard about him, and

Savannah had a very good memory, she knew that both Riannon and her brother spoke highly of him.

It made sense that they were mates. She was a lycan princess and he was an

Alpha of a werewolf pack. Just like Gideon and Ria they could connect their people, bind them together as one once and for all. She saw it as her mission now. Especially before the war that was about to break out. The war that was about to rob them of their first days together. But it did not matter, because they would have all their lives together after they win. And she had no doubts about that.

Zack took her to his house, which turned out to be a very long bungalow in a U-

shape. That was a surprising choice of building for a pack of wolves. But it looked new and modern.

“Our previous Alpha burned down the old packhouse after I challenged him and win,” Zack explained, smiling apologetically, “I had to start building a new one.

This used to be our stables but now we build around it… It’s cosy inside, trust me.”

“I love it,” she stopped him with a smile.

“You don’t have to say that,” Zack stepped closer to her and took one of her hands into his.  “I know that you are used to having the best and I will do my best to provide you with…”

“I love it,” she said firmly and then grinned at him, “but I appreciate the gesture.

They stood like this for a while, the wind blowing her golden brown hair into his

“I want to kiss you so badly right now,” he finally said, and Savannah took a step in his direction, placing her palms onto his chest.

“Then what are you waiting for?” she smiled and he crashed his lips into hers, devouring her quickly and forgetting about everything. Savvy’s toes curled when she felt him picking her up.

She did not hesitate, as her wolf, Athena, was urging her to get closer to him.

They had been waiting for that man their whole lives and now he was finally here.

He brought her inside the house bridal style and placed her back on her feet in the middle of the living room in modern minimalistic style, where there were already several people inside. They all seemed shocked to see them together, but Zack wrapped his arm around her possessively.

“Gang, meet my mate,” his smile was bright and even a bit smug. “This is

Savannah and she is your future Luna. She is also king Gideon’s younger sister and I can hope that you will all treat her with the respect she deserves.”

“Congratulations!” a guy with blonde hair stepped forward smiling friendly at her.

“I am Viktor, this lucky bastard’s Beta. If you need anything, feel free to come to me any time.”

Names started pouring, followed by handshakes and even hugs. So many that there was no chance to memorize them all at once even with her good memory.

But she knew that there would be time for that too.

“I can’t believe that a goddess gave you a princess!” someone snorted, jabbing

Zack, “Did she sin in her past life or something? Why was she punished like that?”

Her mate growled and pulled her closer as a few awkward laughs could be heard around them,

“Don’t be jealous,” he kissed the top of her head gently as his fingers were drawing circles on her arm, “And now, please, excuse us. We… need to…”

He couldn’t find the right words and she giggled, “Get to know each other better.”

“Yes,” he pulled her closer possessively, “That. We will eat in our room too. So,

“Just tomorrow?” some girl with curly black hair said, and Savannah paid her attention for the first time. The girl had an unpleasant smirk on her face. “You are losing your grip, Z. Back in the day…”

“My mate is my treasure,” he cut her off, “I don’t want to overwhelm her or hurt her. She is my first priority now.”

Savvy tried not to smile. This was exactly how a mate was supposed to respond to hints like that. He protected her and set boundaries at once. And she couldn’t be more proud.

This was why as soon as he locked the door behind them and they stayed alone in the spacious bedroom, she grasped his shirt and pulled him closer to kiss him.

“I am so sorry,” he mumbled, snarling slightly as desire started to overwhelm him.

“You have nothing to apologise for,” the girl gasped into his mouth before she leaned closer again to deepen the kiss this time.

“Savvanah,” Zack breathed into her neck, peppering it with kisses and pulling her jacket down. “I don’t think I can’t stop… You are… So..

“Then take me already,” she ordered, and he did not need another invitation.
