I shook my head. "Little mouse, the next time I have to tell you something again, I'll have to put you on my knee." For some reason, the thought of him putting his knee on mine made me hot. His lap was safe for me, and I put my legs out to the side. I was on top of him because he turned me. He touched my sides and leaned in close to my neck. And he sucked on the side of my neck.

Chapter 1 Flashback
THIRD PERSON POINT OF VIEW
FOUR HUNDRED YEARS AGO
Reaching for his mate, he rolled over in bed. He routinely began his mornings in this manner. He discovered a vacant area on his bed and scowled. In panic, he sat up. In his imagination, he reached for her, but something was keeping him from doing so. He bolted from the bed and left the room. Although it was subtle, her perfume persisted throughout the hallway.
He went down the stairs and into the kitchen, following her smell. As he watched his friend dance while preparing breakfast, a smile came to his face. He approached her in silence and put his arms around her. He kissed the top of her head as she leaned toward him.
She confronted him and said, "Stop getting out of bed before me."
She pouted and said, "Today, I wanted to serve you breakfast in bed."
"I could have had breakfast between your legs." She slapped his chest and her cheeks flushed. They kissed each other, his lips pressing against hers.
As the King and Queen publicly showed their love for one another, the ladies watched in wonder. Except for his devoted partner or their puppy, the King hardly ever smiled. Forgetting his breakfast, he embraced her. Holding her, he placed her on the bed in their bedroom. He kissed her neck repeatedly. A knock on the door interrupted his plans to remove her dress. Pushing him away, she went to get the door.
"Good morning sister-in-law"
He said "Morning Eridian" as he entered the room.
"Is your mate not keeping you busy enough that you have to disturb me so early in the morning"
"She's sleeping. The pleasure I gave her at night has left her completely worn out. She won't be up until the late afternoon. Smugly, he answered. A comforter was thrown at him by Deratus.
He walked out of the room, saying, "We have an important meeting in section 6 of the north."
Catalina, his partner, sulked at him. "I thought we were going to spend the day together?"
"We are. He kissed her lips and went into the bathroom, saying, "I won't take long." She was still sat on the bed when he came out. He gave her a lengthy kiss.
"After this meeting you have me all to yourself" she nodded and he kissed her forehead. She went to find her friend as he went to his meeting. When she spotted her companion sprawled on the bed, she laughed and unlocked the doors. Her friend woke up with a start as she leaped into the bed.
"Catalina!" She reprimanded.
"Let's go out"
"No. She covered herself with a duvet and laid back on the bed, saying, "I'm tired." She was dragged out of bed by Catalina.
"Okay, okay" she moaned as she entered the restroom. The two strolled in discussing various topics after meeting at the forest's edge. In her hands, her pal grasped a basket.
"You never bring food"
They located a little clearing and sat down to eat after saying, "I didn't have breakfast today."
*******
The king listened to the beta's grievance while seated with his brother and advisors. A stab of pain went through his abdomen. He wasn't in pain. There was a problem with his partner. Suddenly he rose from the table.
"My king, is there a problem?" With a loud snarl, he fled the building. To reach his mate, he felt his insides itch. He was aware that someone was chasing after him, but he didn't give a damn. When he arrived in the center capital, he dashed upstairs into the castle. He dashed inside the room he and his partner shared, but she was not there. He entered the area in the woodland by following her scent. Blood gushed from her mouth as she lay in someone else's arms. As he took in the lady who had harmed his partner, rage clouded his judgment.
"I apologize. He pulled out her heart with his claws after saying, "I'm really sorry." He hurried back to the palace after grabbing his mate in his arms. A deep growl broke the stillness. The loss of their own wolf caused the other wolves to howl loudly. He cut his veins and lay her gently on the bed.
He pressed it to her lips so she could sip. She forced it out of her lips while holding his hands.
He shook his head in disbelief, saying, "It's too late." Blood poured from her mouth as she coughed.
Her eyes began to well up with "I-I- lo- love y-you" tears, which poured into the bed sheet. As she drew her final breath, he sobbed while holding her hands tightly. He let out a loud cry, and his pack followed suit. They lost a queen, and he lost a mate.
