Chapter 24~ Your wish is my command
Damien’s POV~
Colette met us as soon as we walked into the castle.. “Break my bond. Please! He somehow found my phone number and called me.. threatening to force me to watch him murder my daughter. What kind of man does that!?” Lynette pulled her close and held her as she whispered “Let’s go to the back garden. We haven’t done this yet.. but according to what we’ve read, we have to be where the Goddess can see you. He will feel the bond snap. It may cause his wolf to go feral.. but we will deal with that as we need to”
We stand in the garden.. I interlaced my fingers with Lynette and we each take one of Colette’s hands. Lynette whispers “a sacred bond.. once refused… rejection accepted by one….a sacred love.. forever abused….. granted by fate can’t be undone” Colette fell to her knees and gasped for breath. Then she started to laugh… Lynette and I looked at each other in confusion until she spoke “I feel lighter! A happiness I had forgotten! Thank you! Thank you! Oh my Goddess! I feel Alive!” And she danced away.. laughing. Stopping to kiss Dad and Aaron on their cheeks.. and Lynette and I can only laugh!
Dad asks “What has her that happy?” And Lynette responds “She finally requested we break her mate bond.. and that was the result. She said she feels lighter. Happy again! Who knew? Right?” And I notice Aaron.. rubbing his cheek and staring after Colette.
I said “Devereaux may go feral. Reports indicated he has been battling his wolf since he rejected Colette and this may send him over the edge! I want eyes on him 24/7. We already know he abuses the pack. I am concerned how unstable he may become.”
The last two days have passed relatively uneventful. I fear the calm before the storm. The election results have been trickling in. Dad and Aaron have stayed busy overseeing the completion of the new council members’ housing. Preparing for their arrivals tomorrow. So far, Dad is happy with the electees. As am I! It feels like we will have a wonderfully eclectic mix of opinions and capabilities. And I am still convinced this is the best way for the masses to feel comfortable with the new regime. Knowing they’ve had a say-so in their leaders.
The rebels are amassing..and we have an idea which direction they will be attacking from. I regret they still feel the necessity of this stand. At this point, I fear their followers are no longer sure what their main objective is. To fight without a cause, is to die. They have to know they are seriously outnumbered.. and massively undertrained. Regardless.. while I may regret the fight.. I will not allow our people come to harm by a mass of misguided wolves!
Aaron comes into the study whispering to me “Damien.. may I have a moment in private?” I stand and have him follow me to my office.. linking Lyn to meet us. Once we are all seated, I pour whiskeys for us, and ask what I can do for him. He swallows back the entire drink and grimaces “Sarah and I have decided to break our bond. It is tenuous, at best. Has been deteriorating for over a decade.. mostly due to our inability to agree on how Christine should have been raised. Sarah has encouraged our daughter to reach further than the Goddess intended.. advising her to never settle as she did.. when there could be a much better chosen mate for her instead of the one the Goddess intended” Lynette growls out “That explains ALOT!” Aaron nods.. and I tell him to have Sarah join us in the back garden. I link Dad to be alert.. Aaron may need him.. and explained the situation.
Standing in the garden, I ask “Sarah.. are you certain this is what you want? Because you are the one not wanting to be with your fated mate.. the Goddess may not grant you a second chance” she stares at Aaron for a hard minute “I thought you would just say we mutually agreed! You couldn’t even do this right! Well.. yes, Damien! I am certain! And I am certain the Goddess will see what a mistake she made in the first place!”
I shrug. We all join hands and I repeat the words to undo the bond.. Sarah hit her knees.. wailing in pain. While Aaron just stood there, looking at her. Finally, he spoke “Hnh! That’s it? My chest feels lighter.. other than that, I feel nothing.. no loss.. no pain. Just a lightness! Well… I’m joining Paul for another whiskey and the last of the results!” Leaving Lynette and I in the gardens wondering what the fuck just happened! Then we broke out laughing and she says “That was just fucked up” I simply scooped her up and ran to our room.. laughing the whole way!
Making love with my mate is like rediscovering the meaning of life.. each time. Her body is so responsive.. so in tune with mine.. It’s difficult to tell where she ends and I begin.. For hours, we teased, kissed.. tasted and loved each other. It got hot and heavy.. our breathing quickened.. as I looked up into her face, Lacey was shining in her eyes and Demon rushed to the forefront before I could even think to pull him back. Our pace increased.. he became aggressive and before either of us realized it, he pushed his knot inside of her.. locking the four of us together as he came.. locked inside of her, we fell into an exhausted sleep.
The sun was cresting the horizon.. directly into my eyes. I look down at my adorable, tiny mate snuggled into my side, her head resting on my shoulder and her nose buried in my neck. I take a moment to ask Demon 🐺 Dude! What the fuck! 🐺 You are too tame! I wanted my time, too! Lacey called me and I wasn’t saying NO! 🐺 We could have hurt them! We didn’t know what we were doing! 🐺 YOU didn’t know.. Me, on the other hand.. was fully aware! And you’re welcome! Asshole! 🐺 What if she didn’t like it? Leaving me to do tbe apologies.. as usual?? 🐺 I’m not apologizing! I’m not sorry! And neither is Lacey! She’s MY mate! She called for me and I wasn’t NOT answering her call! Again.. you’re welcome! 🐺 You better pray I get to keep my dick! I’mma be pissed if I have to walk around dickless because you hurt them! you asshole!!! And I hear Lynette groan “Will you two stop arguing so fucking loud! Yes! I am very sore…and sticky.. and stiff… Apparently, covered in cum. But Lacey is happy. She said it’s her fault! But she’s not sorry either! Now, I like your cock too much to rip it off.. but you can carry me to the bathroom and help me clean up!” And I busted out laughing realizing Lacey must have heard Demon’s and my whole conversation! “By all means, your highness! Since my dick has escaped serious harm… your wish is my command!” And she giggled… a sound that always soothes my soul!
