Taming Her Beastly Mate
The Lycan Princess Chapter 24

Aiden and Diana stood outside on their balcony under the light of the moon. They found out from Sam about everything that had happened with the Chance pack and the Sulfur pack. They learned how the Alpha of the Sulfur pack had accepted demonic power and they were just waiting to see if the sheya, Clover, had powers. There were losses on all sides during battle and now a new Alpha was in charge of the Sulfur pack. The Chance pack was also changing their pack name since they were merging with the Nova pack. From here on out, the Chance pack would now be known as the Ankh (aangk) pack.

Gia had chosen to stay in the Ankh pack with her mate, the Beta of the Ankh pack. There were different types of mates, and they were believed to be the type that developed over time, called a kismet mate. Of course, Diana knew all about these different types of mates, but it seemed that over time, this information was lost. She would need to educate the Diamond pack and make this information known again.

Aiden was intrigued when he heard the Ankh pack had two sets of officers. They had officers for the Alpha and officers for the Luna. Both the Alpha and the Luna had an equal say in the pack, and neither was above the other. It was another layer of personalized protection, and they could each focus on serving one person instead of two.

Rhea had also sent a message saying that Alpha Sion Faust and Luna Clover Faust agreed to travel to the Children of the Moon pack. They wanted a few weeks to get situated but then they would be ready to travel. With Sion they wouldn’t have to worry about the shrieks. Sion had become the death god, Anubis, and he had dominion over the dead. The shrieks were vengeful spirits and would not be a problem for him to handle. Clover, as a sheya, had the power to manipulate moods. She would be vital to have while trying to work with the Children of the Moon. They weren’t sure if there was hope for the pack or not, but change was coming no matter what.

It was clear from Colleen that the pack was an unhealthy mess. However, they hoped there were others like her who were just too afraid to speak up. Kurt had a personal vendetta in all of this. He wanted to punish everyone who injured his mate.

“He should stay with his mate.” Diana whispered as she stared out into the night.

“For his sake or Colleen’s?” Aiden asked and watched as Diana turned her head to look at him.

“He is too emotionally involved. He just got his lycan and he is still learning how to control himself.” She watched as Aiden nodded at her thoughtfully.

“I agree. But we cannot deny that he has a personal connection to this mission. We have to balance his emotional investment with his training and skills. Right now, he’s one of our best fighters,” Aiden said, rubbing his chin in thought. “Not to mention, I can’t blame him. If someone had hurt you, I would want to be a part of that mission.”

“Sometimes what we want to do isn’t what we need to do.”

“I think Kurt needs this.” Aiden watched as Diana frowned, her brows pinching together. Her eyes drifted away, and she gazed into the darkness. “Dee, Kurt wouldn’t disobey our orders. He might have an emotional connection, but he is a disciplined officer…. But you already know this. Do you want to talk about the real problem?”

“He is still learning his lycan. I guess…maybe I am being overprotective because…”

“Because of Decker’s soul?”

Diana smiled and shook her head slowly. “No… because he is the future Beta he will be targeted. They won’t go straight for us but the officers. Honestly, I want to leave Kurt and Jamie back for their own safety.”

“I don’t think they would appreciate not being there to keep us safe. One of the reasons Lycaon made them lycans was because of things like this. He wanted them to be stronger than normal werewolves since their job was to protect us.” Aiden sighed and looked up at the stars. “What do you think, Diana?” he asked softly, leaning his arms on the balcony. “Do you think the Ankh pack has the right idea, having two sets of officers?”

Diana shrugged her shoulders, placing her hands on the railing next to him. “I’m not sure, Aiden. It’s an intriguing concept, but I worry about the power dynamic. What if one officer disagrees with the other? Who has the final say? Between Beta to Beta?”

“Then wouldn’t the Alpha and Luna have the final say?” Aiden turned to look at her.

Diana nodded slowly. “Yes, I understand that. But what if there’s a disagreement between the Alpha and Luna?”

Aiden laughed softly. “Then we talk it out like adults. I think it’s worth trying. It could lead to a more equal and efficient power structure within the pack. Having officers that are solely focused on one person can lead to better protection and stronger relationships between the Alpha and Luna and their officers. But, of course, it all depends on the individuals involved.”

“Are you thinking about implementing it in the Diamond pack?” She watched as Aiden shrugged as his eyes met with hers.

“I think it is worth discussing. I like the idea of having an officer that is just in charge of your protection. Maybe we could make Jamie your Beta? Then we can take on another officer and share the Gamma? I don’t know, just brainstorming.”

“Or we leave things just the way they are. I like the idea, but I don’t think we need to implement it. We have good symmetry with the four of us right now. We don’t even have a Delta. It is more important to surround yourself with the right people. I think it is an open discussion to have if we ever want to add another officer. Someone who fits in with us. Honestly, right now, I am not close with others in the pack. I trust Jamie and Kurt. They’ve been with me and accepted me immediately. Even when I wasn’t the most approachable.”

Aiden nodded in agreement. “You’re right, Dee. We already have a well-oiled machine with the current officers we have. We don’t need to fix what isn’t broken. But I do agree that it’s important to surround ourselves with the right people. That’s why I’m glad we have Jamie and Kurt on our team. However, it doesn’t hurt to keep an open mind and consider new ideas.”

“Look at you sounding so mature all of a sudden.” Diana teased as she listened to his soft rumbling chuckle. His arm snaked around her side as he gently turned her into him. His emerald eyes captured hers as a warm smile rested on his lips. The air around them seemed to still and her heart raced. He traced the outline of her face with his fingertips and a shiver ran through her body. His eyes gleamed with desire as he uttered a low growl of amusement that sent a wave of heat over her skin. She could feel the energy between them, crackling like electricity in the air.

“Sounding mature? Does this mean you think I am childish?” His voice grew husky as he tugged her close, barely restraining himself as he inhaled the sweet heady aroma of her. A fire ignited inside him with each breath, a heat that threatened to consume him completely.

Diana’s eyes flickered with amusement as she shook her head. “No, not at all. I just think you sound like you’re considering all the angles before making a decision.” She walked her fingers over his hard chest as she looked up at him coquettishly.

Aiden’s lips twitched with a smile as he leaned in closer to her. “Well, maybe I’ve learned a thing or two from my mate.” He pressed a gentle k**s to her forehead before resting his forehead against hers. “But enough about that. I think we deserve a little break from all the pack politics, don’t you?”

Diana’s breath caught in her throat as a smirk tugged at the corners of her lips. “And what did you have in mind?”

Aiden’s hand trailed down her spine, sending shivers through her body. “I was thinking we go back inside and enjoy a little alone time.”

Diana laughed softly as she tapped her fingers over his chest. “But Mr. Locke we have a lot of planning to do for the upcoming journey.”

“Yes, my Luna but it is nighttime. Remember what I told you about our nights?” He growled softly as he nipped her ear with his teeth. “Our nights are for us to forget about everything else and focus on each other.”

His warm breath sent shivers down her spine as his lips trailed down her neck. Diana’s eyes closed as she gave in to the sensation, her fingers tangling in his shirt. Aiden’s lips continued to explore her skin, soft k****s turning into passionate bites. Diana’s breaths became shallow as she felt his hands slip under her shirt, his fingers tracing delicate patterns over her skin.

As she felt his lips brush against the sensitive spot on her collarbone, Diana let out a soft m**n. Aiden’s touch sent waves of pleasure coursing through her body, making her feel alive in a way she had never experienced before. She felt her body respond to his touch, her hands running through his hair as she pulled him closer. Then he stopped, with a testing smile on his face.

“But if you really want to work on the planning…”

Diana inwardly laughed as she cleared her throat, regaining her composure. Who did he think he was teasing? She nodded her head, turning to the door. “Yeah, it is best to be prepared. Business should come first.” She walked slowly through the doors and felt his hands land on her h**s possessively. He spun her back into him and chuckled.

“Alright Luna… you win. I want you… and I’m going to have you.” He growled, attacking her lips. His tongue attacked hers in a dominating battle, not giving her a moment for air. His hands roamed over her body, exploring every curve and contour while kissing her deeply.

His tongue traced over her lips, sending sparks of electricity through her body. Diana felt her heart racing, her breathing became erratic. She surrendered herself completely to him, lost in the intensity of the pleasure he was creating.

As they broke apart, panting and gasping for breath, Aiden lifted her into his arms and carried her to their bed. The world around them faded away as they clung to each other, lost in the heat of the moment. The night was theirs, and they intended to make the most of it. And they did.

Diana settled into the soft sheets, pulling Aiden down on top of her. They broke apart only for a moment, then their lips collided again in a more passionate k**s. Slowly tasting each other as their hands roamed over each other’s bodies.

Aiden’s hands roamed over her body as he kissed her, whispering words of desire and love. Every touch sent her on a cloud of pleasure as he explored her body. His hands gently traced along her sides, sending shivers through her body. His touch was like fire and ice, burning her soul with passion and cooling her with the promise of the unknown. But she wanted to know his secrets, to have all of him. His hands seemed to know her body better than she did, as if he could read her mind. Every touch, every k**s, and every whisper sent her further into the abyss, and she welcomed it.

He growled her name, chest heaving as he tore off every piece of clothing with shaking hands. His burning gaze locked onto hers as his body pressed onto hers, pinning her beneath him and parting her legs with a knee. Her silver eyes sparkled like stars in the darkness as they connected.

Diana’s breath hitched in her throat as she felt Aiden slide into her, filling her. Her hands gripped his shoulders, nails digging into his skin as she cried out in pleasure.

Diana’s h**s rocked against his, pulling him deeper into her. Each thrust made her heart race, sending her higher and higher. She wrapped her legs around him, pressing her heels into his back. His growls were deep and primal as he thrust inside her, filling her entirely. He began to pound into her, sending waves of intense building pleasure through her.

The pressure built inside her, until her body began trembling in pleasure. With a final thrust they were both sent over the edge. Her eyes locked onto his as they called out each other’s names, feeling their souls intertwined. He kissed her damp forehead tenderly before he scooped her into his arms, holding her tight against him.

He buried his face into the nape of her neck, breathing in her scent before he brushed away a strand of hair from her face, kissing her tenderly. Diana sighed, snuggled in his arms, laying her head over his beating heart as she listened to the sound of his breathing. His hand gently traced over the curves of her body, as if he was trying to commit each inch to memory.

“Look at you gaining more control of yourself?” Aiden brushed his lips over the top of her head with a smile. “No claws this time.”

“Yes, I’m finally getting used to it again.”

“Good…. but you know… sometimes you can always let loose… I like your feral side in bed.” He gave her a wry smile as she tilted her head up to look at him.

“Hmmm not sure if I will. I might be too much for you to handle.” She listened to his low rumbling chuckle as he rolled back on top of her.

“Challenge accepted.”
