The fire crackled in the hearth as Ilara and I sat in front of the fireplace of her childhood home. A cracked windowpane in the kitchen allowed chilled air to seep in as the night sky shone through the glass. Wind whistled through the rafters. Everything about this house was simple and rustic. The poverty Ilara had grown up in was prevalent, yet within these wooden walls, a warrior queen had been born.
My guards had positioned themselves outside, adamant that they didn’t mind the winter’s cold as they fiercely protected the true Rising Queen of the Solis continent, yet I knew the real reason they’d done it was to give my mate and me a moment of privacy.
At this time, we were still on our own. Nobody from Prinavee had pursued us yet, my father likely concentrating on repairing the castle in Solisarium. But I knew that was to be short-lived and that his revenge would be coming.
Inevitably, he would send fae to hunt for us. Especially after what Ilara had done today. Soon, word would spread, and the king would learn of her actions. His plan to invade the Nolus continent and expand his reach was failing, which meant his vengeance was coming.
Ilara sat beside me, silently watching the crackling fire. Love for my mate flowed deep into my bones, and my cock stirred when I drank in her determined scent.
Even though fatigue lined her eyes, Ilara’s jaw had set into a hard line of determination.
I’d never been more proud of her as when she told her fellow villagers the truth. She’d defied the king. She’d drawn a line. She’d voiced the reality of what was occurring to our fae, and all because of her love for me and her love for the citizens of the Solis continent.
Emotion made my breath hitch. I’d never been one to show how I truly felt, but when her magnificent angel wings had been flapping above us, her expression fierce, her tone defiant as she showed all of the villagers what had taken place within the Isalee field, the Canadian forest, and my mother’s private chambers—I’d never felt more in awe of her.
“So what do you want to do from here?” I leaned back in my seat, letting my wings relax behind me.
She canted her head, the firelight making her ebony hair shine. “We should find Lord Crimsonale first so we can share what happened in Canada. Now that we have solid proof, he’ll surely help us convince the council to overthrow your father.”
My lip curled. “He’ll help, but as you’ve pointed out, that will only likely be in an attempt to claim the throne for himself.”
“Even if he does try that, he’ll still help to overthrow the king. But maybe he’ll surprise us. Maybe he’ll do the right thing and support your ascension, and perhaps once all of this is over, andyou’rewearing the crown, maybe you and the Crimsonales can learn to put your differences aside. Michas could make a good ally.”
I sighed. “While it’s possible Michas would be useful as an ally, it’s unlikely that we’ll ever truly let go of our grievances. I’ll work with them now, though, since the Crimsonales are in agreement that my father’s a tyrant, but once my father’s removed from power, I’m not making any promises.”
Ilara rolled to her feet, then prowled toward me with liquid grace. Magic swirled around her. Her aura was so potent now, so much so that I wondered if she was even aware of it. She’d truly mastered her warrior affinity, and she was quickly learning her angel power. I admired every bit of her as she flowed closer to me. Each movement she made hummed with her fighting magic. Her steps were light, her limbs graceful.
My cock felt as though it would punch through my pants as she neared, and all thoughts of the damned Crimsonales fled.
She stopped before me and placed her hands on my knees. I drank in the heady scent pulsing from her.
I ran my hands up her thighs. Firm muscle greeted me beneath her lush softness. I smirked as my gazedropped to her mouth. “Your parents would be scandalized if they knew I wanted to ravish their daughter in their living room.”
“Do you now?” She nipped my lip before slipping her pants off and straddling me. I hissed in a breath when her bare pussy settled right over my clothed cock. “They don’t need to know.”
Growling, I gripped her hips and met her mouth. She kissed me passionately, our tongues entwining, our breaths mingling. She tasted of mint and snow, and her rosebud and dew scent clouded around me, going straight to my head.
One of my guards snickered from outside, and I knew they’d either heard us or scented what was about to happen.
Ilara laughed when I growled, and then I cast a solid wall of air around us, my Shield stopping any sound my mate was about to make as I pleasured her.
I pulled my cock out, then anchored her to me before lowering her onto my length. Groaning, I slid into her wet heat with ease as her softness gripped me tightly. “Gods, Ilara.”
She moaned, rocking on me as her smooth sheath gripped me even harder.
All coherent thought left me.
I panted, then kissed her again as she began riding me. Every time she lifted herself up, only to fall back onto my cock, my heart pounded while creating a savage need to stampmineupon her.
The possessiveness I felt for her was unparalleled.Even our eternal marriage and mate bond hadn’t quelled it. I’d been with many females over the seasons, long before my mate had even been born, but I’d never truly wanted any of them. I couldn’t even remember their faces. My entire existence now centered on my mate. Her smile. Her laugh. Her fierceness. Everything about her called to me.
“You’re mine,” I growled as she began working my cock in earnest. I lifted her tunic, freeing one of her breasts before bringing her taut nipple to my mouth.
She gasped when I began to ravish her tits as her bouncing grew faster. “And you’re mine,” she breathed.
“Forever.”
She bounced more, her actions growing feverish as her aroused scent grew until it bathed me in her essence. I drank in her scent, watching her head tilt back as her lips parted. A rosy hue filled her cheeks, and the firelight glinted off her black hair. With her breasts bare, her face flushed, and her bare pussy visible in front of me...
