SHADOW
I was surprised to find out that the modern house of the High Priestess was in London. I was expecting a stone house exterior, but what surprised me more was that she was the same age as Zarah.
“Welcome to my humble home, Shadow.”
“High Priestess.”
“Oh, please.” She swatted her well-manicured fingernails, and the white high-neck dress looked perfect on her. “Just Margaret.”
“My mate, Alpha Califf.”
“Of course, the werewolf. I could smell the skepticism in you, Califf.”
“Forgive me, Margaret. I haven’t been in a witch house before.”
“It’s not the real reason, but because you haven’t seen what I am capable of. And your future father-in-law just arrived.”
“A future father-in-law?”
How did she know? Califf and I shared a look.
Just like that, my father walked into the living room in a white suit and tie. “High Priestess.”
“Alpha King Sebastien.” They kissed each other cheek, but the way my father put his hand on her back said something else.
Califf and I shared a look again before I hid my smile. We barely stepped into the house, and we already got surprises.
As we settled on the dining table, I said, “Thank you for giving my intention a chance. I know I’m a nobody, and I just became a Luna not a few months ago, but this means so much to me.”
“I’ve witnessed a lot of things in my life- the Holocaust, natural disasters, atomic bombs, world wars, Chornobyl, and I watched the first man walk on the moon. You, my dear, are just starting to make a difference, and you will accomplish many things if you follow your heart.”
“Thank you.”
“My mother couldn’t accept losing a powerful witch like your mother. This was supposed to be Aurora’s throne. When Zarah told me you reached out, I wished you had chosen our side, but it doesn’t matter now. I’m giving this alliance a chance and setting aside what happened in our past.”
“That’s exactly what I wanted.”
“Then let’s have dinner.”
After dinner, Zarah arrived, and my father’s Beta, Alessandro. Margaret shifted in her hands, and we were already in a big tomb surrounded by hundreds of lit candles and witchcraft tools.
“Sorry for the lack of finesse. Please gather around the table. You, Alpha Califf, Beta Alessandro, Priestess Zarah, will stay behind as our witness.”
I went to the table, my father beside me and Margaret to my left. Califf was behind me, Alessandro was behind my father, and Zarah was at Margaret’s back.
After she chanted in a foreign language, the magic golden bowl appeared. She picked up the knife and cut her palm, letting the blood drop onto the bowl. She did the same to my father, then grabbed my hand, leaving me no choice but to open it.
I hissed as the blade slit my flesh. The blood flowed and dropped into the bowl. “I’m not gonna drink that, am I?”
“You’re not a vampire, my dear.” She closed her eyes and began chanting again.
The blood was mixed like something you put in a blender. Then she snapped her fingers. An ephemera paper or maybe sheep or human skin, I was not sure, appeared, words glittered in gold old writing, probably Theban.
“This is to bind our treaty. When one of us harms our kind, the defendant and assailant will appear in our court and be judged equally. If anyone fails to do so, a life will be taken as punishment, or this agreement will be void, and none of us will be in the same room again.”
I turned to Califf. He nodded at me. My father already agreed.
“I agree.”
“No humans will be harmed but our common enemies. Magic will be used for the greater purpose only. You may use your healing gift for your pack.”
I couldn’t hide my smile. Zarah was smiling as well. “Thank you.”
“But you need to practice.”
“I will.”
“Very well. Shall we start?”
“Yes,” my father agreed.
“Dip your palm into the bowl and press it on the paper.”
I did as she said, and it was surprisingly warm. I stamped my print onto the paper, making me hiss. “Ouch.” I felt like I just had a first-degree burn, but it quickly healed.
My father felt the same as he pressed his palm on the treaty. Margaret didn’t react as we did. She murmured something before picking up the paper and throwing it in the air. And it lit up to ash as it happened on our way to Zarah’s house.
“Our coven is at your service, your packs are at our service, and everyone’s lives are in our hands.” She swirled her hands, and we returned to her living room.
“You can reach out to Zarah if you need anything. I will regard the needs of the Lycans.”
“Thank you so much.”
“You’re always welcome.” She looked at Califf. “You can relax now, Alpha.”

It felt like a dream-a beautiful, hot dream. I spread my thighs wider as I pushed his head down, and his mouth sucked my pussy. I danced to his rhythm, moaning as he teased my clit with his tongue.
“Don’t stop. Don’t stop.” I pushed my ass off the mattress, ground my sex into his mouth, and he groaned against my flesh in response. “Yes. Yes. Yes. Come inside me.”
His mouth was gone in an instant. At a super speed, he growled as he slammed his cock into me. I cried out his name.
“You want to come?”
“Yes, please,” I said in a ragged breath.
He gave me what I wanted, hammering me so hard my breasts jiggled. His balls slapped into my ass. The sound of our bodies, my whimpers, and moans filled the room.
“Like this? You want to be fucked harder?”
“Yes!”
He rammed into me, and I couldn’t see the word fuck without thinking of this. He fucked me hard, mercilessly, and growled as my inner muscles clamped around him.
My orgasm caught me off guard. A cry of abandonment left my throat as pleasure and ecstasy flooded my entire body. I felt like flying, so weightless.
“Fuck. Shadow!” A guttural roar escaped his throat as his cock jerked, emptying his come inside me and filling me with his release.
He fell on top of me with his rugged breathing and fast heartbeat, pressing my hand against his lips.
“I thought I was dreaming.”
He lifted his head to look at me and smirked. “A beautiful dream, I hope.”
“You took advantage of me, Alpha.”
“Yet, you came so fast.”
“Yeah. My wolf is butthead happy.”
“So did I. Will you go out on a dinner date with me?”
I shook to laugh. “That’s you being spontaneous, Alpha? Because you fucked me and thought I would say yes to a dinner date?”
“Well, I’ve proven my worth and my skillful talent.”
“Kiss me, and let me be the judge of that.”
He quickly came on top of me and kissed me passionately. I wrapped my legs around his waist and rubbed my clit against his now-growing cock.
I moaned as he swiped his tongue inside my mouth and nibbled my bottom lip. He moved his lips down my jaw, kissing my neck and licking his mark. “So beautiful.”
“You really want to prove your talent, aren’t you?”
“That’s the plan, baby. I’m aiming for an A+.” When he captured my breast with his mouth, I moaned louder, gripped his hair around my fingers, and pushed his head down.
“I want you now, Alpha.” I bucked my hips, and he quickly granted my request, thrusting his cock inside me. “You better hurry up. We have a date in Italy.”
