The Lycan King’s Hybrid Queen
Chapter 33

Thane

"Come on, Lyric, talk to me."

My mate huffs and rolls her eyes. She's sitting at the dresser in our bedroom, brushing her long hair. When I got to our suite, Lyric had showered and dressed in a long nightdress of white and silk. It shows enough cleavage to have me drooling and sticks to her body like a second skin. I inwardly groan because my body is vibrating with need, need for her.

I watch as Lyric braids her hair over her shoulder and ties it off at the end.

"I know you're angry with me, baby. I am trying to fix it, I promise."

Angry is not the word for what Lyric was when I told her The Witch had escaped. Goddess, I thought the castle would crumble under the weight of her temper tantrum!

"I'm not angry with you, Thane." Turning in her seat, Lyric faces me. "I know what happened wasn't your fault and that you'll replace her. I'm glad whoever broke The Witch out killed those vile pigs. We don't need people like that on our staff. But I don't understand how whoever it was could walk in, take The Witch, and walk back out like they owned the place!"

Lyric stands, and I try not to groan. Goddess, she's so beautiful. Even angry like this, she's the most beautiful woman I've ever laid eyes upon.

"Why did they even want her?"

"I can't answer that, Lyric. I just know that it was someone in the pack, and I will replace them. When I do, I'll tear their damn throats out!"

"Ugh! I was so looking forward to burning that bitch!"

I chuckle while shaking my head.

"Baby girl," I tip Lyric's head up with my fingertips under her chin. Her eyes lock with mine. "The Witch will be found, and I promise you will have your moment."

Lyric nods. "I know. I guess I just can't get the image of you lying dead on that floor out of my head, Thane. It broke me. The thought that I could have lost you..."

I wipe the lone tear from Lyric's cheek with my thumb.

"I know, baby. I felt the same when I believed you were gone. I don't know what brought me back or if it will happen again. But we will replace out, Lyric."

"What if our mating means I transferred my curse to you? I know I've asked that before, but I'm losing my mind!" Lyric's hands clutch at my waist. "My parents told me that you and me marking would mean you'd get my abilities, and I'd gain yours, making us stronger. But they didn't mention the curse."

I press my forehead to Lyric's and breathe in her unique scent of the wind through the trees and perfection.

"Try not to worry, Lyric. We'll figure everything out soon enough, trust me. For now, let us not think. I need you, baby."

Lyric smiles while biting her lower lip. "I love you, Thane. You know that, don't you?"

I close my eyes and breathe deeply through my nose, letting her words sink in. I will never tire of hearing Lyric say she loves me. I know she loves me, and it goes beyond the mate bond. The Goddess knows I love my mate more than anything in this whole universe. Nothing will ever change that.

"I know, baby. I love you, too, Lyric, and nothing and no one will ever come before you."

"Not even our child?"

I lift away from Lyric and smile curiously. "You want us to have a child?"

Lyric isn't pregnant yet. I haven't sensed any pregnancy hormones, and nor has she. It's not unusual for Lycanesses to wait many years for pups. My parents waited over forty years before they had me, though that wasn't by choice. The royal physician told Mom and Dad that it was unlikely Mom could have kids. Dad told me it broke Mom, and she tried to get him to take a mistress who'd give him an heir.

Lycans don't take mistresses; it would cause their mate too much pain and could even kill them. Not that Dad would even contemplate that; Mom means everything to him. He told her that if they had no heir, then they had none, but he would never hurt her. Mom and Dad spent years ruling their kingdom and traveling the world. Mom had long given up hope of having a child, but then I came along. The rest is history, as they say.

Having said that, it's also not unusual for Lycanesses to become pregnant quickly, the way Harmony did. But it didn't happen for Lyric and me; maybe it never will. Or perhaps we'll end up like Mom and Dad. If and when it does happen for us, I'll be the happiest man alive.

Lyric takes my hand and leads me over to the bed. She sits down, pulls me with her, looks at me, and smiles.

"I love you."

I chuckle. "You said that."

"Because it's true. I never believed I'd fall in love, let alone have someone love me in return. Regardless of everything else, you and I,"

"Love each other wholeheartedly." I finish her sentence.

"That's right." Lyric emotionally whispers. "And when we're safe after Astro is dealt with, I want us to have a baby." She touches her hand to my face with a smile. "Think you can wait a little while longer?"

"As long as it takes. But maybe we should get some practice in?"

"You read my mind." She winks with a sultry smile on her face.

Lyric leans in and kisses me. I ravage her mouth as my hands roam over her body. She groans into my mouth as I lay her back on the bed.

Tearing my lips from Lyric's, I pepper hot kisses along her jaw, neck, chest, and arms. I grab the hem of her nightshirt and lift it above her waist, and I smirk because she's not wearing any panties.

"You naughty girl." Spreading her legs, I inhale the scent of her arousal. Goddess, Lyric's scent is like a drug filling my veins, and can't I get enough; I want more and more. One sniff and I'm hooked and can't tear myself away. "I'm your naughty girl."

"Damn right, you are. You're mine and mine alone, Lyric. Who do you belong to?"

"Thane... Ah. I belong to you, My King."

Goddess damn!

"That's right, Lyric, you belong to me. Stop squirming!" Grabbing her hips, I still my mate's body.

"Thane," She whines, even more aroused by my authoritative tone. Her pu.ssy gushes, and my eyes roll. "Please don't tease me; I need you."

I smirk before licking her front to back. The taste of her on my tongue, assaulting my senses, has my co.ck so hard, I could pound nails! Lyric's back arches, and I suck on her c.lit for a moment; it's engorged and throbbing on my tongue. I stiffen mine before stabbing it inside of her, licking her from the inside. "Thane! Fu.ck, please! Oh, Goddess, I'm gonna c.um! I'm fu.cking c.umming!"

I chuckle and continue to lick her cu.nt softly until Lyric's body relaxes and she's a puddle on the bed.

I lick my lips, savoring the taste of my perfect mate before stripping my clothes. I'm now so hard it's almost painful.

I climb in between Lyric's se.xy legs. But quicker than lightning, Lyric flips our position, straddling me and making me laugh.

"I want to be in charge."

"Anything you want, beautiful." I hiss with my head thrown back when Lyric impales herself on my c.ock, taking me in one push. "Sh.it!"

"Oh, Goddess," That's precisely what Lyric looks like, hands pressing on my chest as she moves up and down, back and forth. "I feel so full of you!" With a gasp and a moan, her head drops back.

I grab her pert tits in my hands and squeeze. Nothing in the world could feel as good as this. I let Lyric set the pace, riding me for all she's worth. But I can't take it; I want to pound the sh.it out of her; I want to fu.ck her into the mattress!

I grab Lyric's hips because I can't stop myself, and I thrust upwards. Lyric screams, falls forward, and slams her mouth against mine. She screams into my mouth at the ferocity of my thrusts, but I can't stop. My or.gasm is building higher, my balls draw up, and the coiling in my stomach is almost too much.

"Thane, I can't take it!"

I flip Lyric onto her back. With my co.ck still buried deep inside of her, I get to my knees.

"You're gonna take everything I have to give. Aren't you?" Lyric, looking dazed, nods her head. "Answer me, Lyric!"

"Yes, My King, I'll take everything... you have to give. So give it to me, My King, please!"

I growl lowly, grab her legs and pull them over my shoulders. With one hand on her throat, the other holding her right leg, I thrust into her, deep, shallow thrusts.

Lyric's eyes lock with mine, and she whimpers as I smirk. Her cu.nt clenches around my co.ck, and I growl before fu.cking her as hard as I can. I won't last much longer; I'm too close to the peak. But I won't stop until Lyric cu.ms with me.

"Thane... I'm so close. Please let me c.um."

"Good girl. C.um for me, baby. C.um with me."

With two hard thrusts, Lyric c.ums screaming, pulling my orgasm out of me along the way. I pump my hips into her in short sharp bursts, making sure to spill every last drop of my seed inside of my mate.

When my body finally has enough, I lay my head on Lyric's shoulder, and she strokes the back of my hair. I came so fu.cking hard I can't open my eyes!

"Goddess," I mumble. "I needed that."

Lyric giggles. "You and me both. Maybe that's what we should do from now on. Each time we're angry, frustrated, or stressed, we have hot rough sex to calm us down."

"Baby," I laugh while lifting my head and hips, slipping out of her body. "If we did that, we'd do nothing else. Plus," I lie beside her. "I think it might kill me."

"There are worse ways to die. Besides, we'd only wake up a moment later.

I laugh at her words, pull her into my arms, cover us with the sheet from the bottom of the bed, and kiss her head.

'Thane?'

'Blaze?'

What a fu.cking time to mind link!

'I found The Witch.'

Well, sh.it, that was fast!
