Iris

'This is new'  snow said as I smiled at the people that were entertaining us.

The coronation was over and entertainment was going on while food and drinks were being served.

'Yeah, I know' I replied. Lucas held my hand and smiled, his smile so bright that it feels like I was basking in the sun's rays.

You look so beautiful love.

He said and I smiled at his compliment, I could finally hear his own thoughts.

Thank you. Everyone seems to like me.

'Of, course they do. You have been nothing but helpful and kind to them.' He replied glancing down as the people cheered at the entertainers

I followed his gaze and watched the people cheering.

'Things will be different now' snow said.

'Yes. I'm aware' I smiled as I thought of how far I have come from being imprisoned to being a queen of a vast kingdom. It wasn't easy, I was terrified, trapped, assaulted, injured, emotionally and mentally drained but now, here I am, all smiles, dressed in expensive clothes, wearing a crown and best of all mated to an incredible man.

It's practically a dream, but real at the same time.

'But there's still more ahead of us. I know it' snow tells me. I nodded. This time I wasn't going to back down, I had come this far and wasn't gonna back down now.

'when it comes we'll be ready ' I said. I haven't yet told Lucas or anyone about Snow. How was I supposed to explain I had a mystical creature living inside me.

'yes, we'll be. But for now let's enjoy this moment. You have done well' she said before disappearing to the back of my mind. I smiled, we should enjoy this moment.

After a while, some of the high ranking Alpha's come up to give a toast to us and then a ball started.

"We should dance" I suggested to Lucas. I was already bored of staring at people having all the fun.

"Bored already?" He chuckled and his small dimple showed, my heart melting at his face.

"I guess so. We can't let them have all the fun" I pouted.

He gave a light chuckle and It was sweeter than the music that was playing. "I suppose they are having all the fun"

"Then let's have our own fun" I grinned making him smirk.

"I thought you said you didn't like dancing?" He playfully raised his brow.

I shrugged, true I didn't like dancing much, but I was too bored to care.

"There's a first time from everything" I smiled.

He smiled back and stood up taking my hand in his "anything for my Queen" he winked and I felt my cheeks heat up.

He led me down to the dance floor and people started to move aside for us, the song slowed down to a romantic one and the light went dim.

Lucas took my hand and we slowly danced to be music like no one else was there.

After some time, others started to join and danced as well.

"You look stunning love" he breathes, his compliment affecting my body, he's been complimenting me all day, each one different from the last.

"Thank you. You don't look so bad yourself"

"Anything to impress you" We both chuckled. I noticed his eyes flashed golden and knew Ashton was there too.

His hands held me possessively as we danced, our eyes only on each other, we practically danced like it was only us that was there, everyone else was invisible.

"Mine" Lucas muttered as his gazed on me.

"Yours" I confirmed.

He growl approved of my submission and holds me more possessively like he's protecting me from everyone's eyes.

"I love you Lucas" I said so caught up in the moment, that I didn't realize that I had said it.

Lucas stopped and I stopped as well. My heart was racing, why did he stop?

He stared at me, but this time his gaze was different, it held so much emotion that I couldn't tell what in particular they were.

Before I knew It, he kissed me, not caring anyone was there, he kissed me hard that I thought I was going to fall over my dress.

His hands gripped my waist and rubbed circles around it, he bit my lip and I had to moan in his mouth gaining him entrance, he tasted and claimed his territory on me, like warning everyone off his turf.

After what felt like forever, he releases me from his lips and kisses my forehead, his lips staying longer this time.

"I love you more" he finally replied looking deep into my eyes with pure emotion. He tries to harden his expression because even though we were in our own world, people were still here.

"I've always loved you, I just didn't realize it" I confessed

He smiles and kisses the side of my lips. "It's alright" he says a bit strained and I wanted to frown and ask if he's okay.

"Lucas-"

"Come, let's sit" he smiles and leads me back to the chair, my frown deepen. What wasn't he saying?.

We sat down and continued to watch the people dance, I spot Christie as she dances with a fine man and Daphne at the food and drinks area. Mom and dad were laughing and talking and it warmed my heart that I had such a beautiful family.

But I was still worried about Lucas. He tried to hide it but I could tell something was wrong.

He called for Adrian and whispered something to him and then Adrian looked at me before nodding.

"What's wrong?" I asked getting more worried.

"It's okay, I'm just telling Adrian to fill my parents on why we'll leave"

"We're leaving?" I was confused now. But he just stood up and announced that we're going to retire to our chamber, the crowd awwned but bowed as we left.

When we got to the lobby, it was more private here and I stopped Lucas, "what's wrong? Why did we suddenly have to leave?" I was super concerned now.

He sighs "let's go to the room first" he said strained again and I nodded quietly following him.

We reached our room and when we entered, Lucas growls loudly as his body starts to twitch.

I quickly raced to his side panicked and held him. He looked into my eyes, his flashing golden then back to his.

"Tell me what's going on... please" I worry on the verge of tears.

He cups my face connecting our heads together, and says three words

"I'm in heat" he said, his hot breath faning against my cheeks.

My eyes widen. I was told being in heat was something every werewolf goes through, and I can only be quenched when they rut.

"Lucas..." I search his eyes and see he's struggling to put up a strong front.

I knew what this meant, it was clear, I reached for his cheek. "It's okay" I caresses him, he looked like he was going through a battle in his head.

"I know what you need" I said softly as I used my other hand to feel his broad chest.

"Baby ple..."

"No" I shushed him. "It's something you need, and I'm the only one who can give it. I can't let you suffer" his breaths became ragged and his eyes searching mine.

"Once I start I can't hold back" he breaths, his eyes now golden, his hot breath faning my face.

I nodded. I knew I eventually needed to do this, and I've heard it was always worth it.

"Then don't" I whispered and he growls... loudly. Before I knew it, he pulls me against him, devouring my mouth, I gasped gaining him more entrance.

He fiddled with my dress and eventually ripped it off me.

"Mine" he growls before ripping the whole thing off. I felt small underneath his gaze as he basically ravaged me with his gaze.

"You're mine. Mine to touch. Mine to feel. Mine to taste. All mine" he says possessively like infusing into my head his words.

"Say it."

I gulped down, my thighs squeezing shut and I couldn't find my words again.

"Yours to touch" I started off and he immediately lifted me off my feet against the wall while my legs cradled him placing wet hot kisses on my sides.

I tried to find my words but the tension in my body was too much. "Continue" he mumbled as he traced kisses down to my chest, like he worshiped my body.

"Yours to feel" I was starting to forget, and my voice coming out ragged, because my mind was going crazy with his touch.

He traced his hand behind my back and unclipped my bra, tossing it aside.

"Damn.." he breaths in admiration looking at my harden breasts.

He starts working on them, kneading, massaging, sucking, playing, everything he could and my body loved the attention.

I made sounds I never knew I could create and felt things I had never felt.

He growled and marked, but, licked and possessively held me.

"L.. Lucas" I was a breathless mess, my hair was fisted in his hands and I didn't dare look down to my body.

"That's right, say my name, say who you belong to. I don't share what's mine"

I shivered under his words, but it brought up a sense of belonging, I belonged to him, and nothing could change that.

He walked me over to the bed trapping me under his large size, his eyes never leaving mine, I wanted more, I needed his touch on me, I needed his lips on me.

Damnit, is this how it felt to be needy? To be desperate for someone's touch?

My chest heaves as he gently traces my body, like he was memorizing ever single detail of my body.

I let out a shaky breath when he reaches my lower abdomen, he places gently kisses as he removed my last cover of clothing.

I was now completely bare to his burning eyes, he hums in approval seeing the mess I created down there.

He removed his shirt and tossed it across the room and comes up to kiss me, one his hands holding my hands above my head and one rubbing up and down my thighs.

"I'll be gentle" he whispered to me, he breaths huskily, I only nod not able to speak.

He kisses me again, "words" he commands.

"O.. okay" I pant, my body knots of tension only he can loose.

"Good girl" he hums and makes work of the rest of his clothes, and I finally get to see what he has.

My heart was in my throat, not only did he have muscle in his upper body but down there as well, even I started to question how it was gonna fit.

"Eyes on me love" he speaks and my eyes quickly snap up to his. "Good girl"

He parts my thigh and settled between them, I felt his guns and I helped a bit and he smirked.

"No one else gets to see you like this but me" he caresses my cheeks.

"O.. only you"

He smirks "good girl, now kept your eyes on me okay?"

"Okay" I breathed.

He nods and I feel his tip at my entrance, he slides into it and I gasp as I had to adjust to take his width.

"You're doing great, my little mate" he groans as he goes further, I feel tears at the corner of my eyes, my core expanding to accommodate him.

He keeps praising me as I take in more of him, I'm fisting the bed now, my chest heaving up as he moves deeper.

He wipes my eyes, "good girl"

I opened my eyes and realized he was completely in, my head was spinning, I took all of him in?

He starts moving and I knew he wasn't done, he thrusts in and out and I immediately was panting mess. He didn't give me any chance to breathe, if he wasn't speeding up his movements he's roughly kissing me.

I had already released and came on him but he wasn't done and continued

He groans and moans as he pumped me with his fluids and I came with him.

He hums approved and removed himself, and I shivered. I felt so empty now, but yet so full.

He falls to my side and holds me close, his hand draping over my waist.

"I love you" I smiled.

He chuckled and brought me closer "don't start what you can't finish, naughty mate. That was just a preview of what I want to do to you" he breaths on my shoulder as he rests his head there..

I blushed hard, that was only a preview?

"O.. okay"

He chuckled and pulled back to kiss me. "I love you more, my naughty mate" his words made me feel like the luckiest person on earth.

"Now rest, you'll need it for later. I will clean you up" he kisses my forehead.

"Okay" I hummed and nestled into his embrace.

Which I don't plan on leaving anytime soon.

I am his mate.
His wife.
His queen.
His Luna.
His everything.

I smiled as realized the impact I had on him, and he had on me. He's my everything to me and won't ever want to change that.

I snuggled further into his embrace, happy of how far we've come, and I don't plan on leaving anytime soon.
