As soon as the door closed, Zephyr pulled Arabella into his arms, causing her to gasp. She had never been in such proximity to any male before, and it was a new and incredibly nerve-wracking experience for her.
“Are you nervous?” Zephyr whispered into her ear before kissing her neck.
Arabella shivered in his arms as her hands clutched his regal robe. She nodded, becoming breathless.
“Don’t be nervous, princess. I will always cherish and love you as my Queen,” he declared before claiming her lips.
As if under a spell, Arabella succumbed to the passion demonstrated by Zephyr. She couldn’t discern whether she was under the influence of magic or experiencing desire. Her slender arms wrapped around his neck as she wholeheartedly accepted him as her mate and King.
Zephyr effortlessly shed their clothes with a snap of his fingers. He was a powerful warlock, a master of all magic.
Arabella found herself in a mystical haze as Zephyr guided her to the bed, making her lie on her back. Hovering over her, he parted her thighs, settling between her legs. Arabella cried louder as he abruptly thrust inside her, shoving his huge and thick dick in one hard thrust, breaking her hymen and burying himself deep in her. He mated with her passionately, bonding with her, and his eyes did not leave her for a second as if he found the most precious gem.
He pleasured her with his body, tongue, and finger, made love to her, and came inside her so many times, as if wanted to brand her with his essence. He acted like a caveman when he held her close and buried inside her the whole night. Despite Arabella being exhausted and passed out, he didn’t leave her.
The next morning, he proclaimed their union, swiftly arranging a wedding within two days.
When Arabella questioned the haste, he ardently professed, “I love you so intensely, Arabella. I simply couldn’t wait any longer to make you mine in every sense.”
Arabella was happy to have found such a passionate mate.
Her father was thrilled because his daughter was going to be the Queen of the realm. Zephyr and Arabella were very happy together. After their wedding, Zephyr made sure to remind Arabella every day how much he loved her and how important she was to him. He cherished Arabella and kept her away from everyone, saying only he had the right to see her beauty and hear her lovely voice all to himself. Arabella felt fortunate that her mate loved her so deeply.
“How lucky you are to be the Queen of the mightiest king, King Zephyr,” Gina admired her friend’s happiness.
She visited Arabella often, as Zephyr did not permit Arabella to go anywhere without him as he was very possessive.
“We both are lucky to find a loving mate,” Arabella smiled.
“True,” Gina grinned. Her mate was the Beta of a small werewolf pack and the brother of that pack’s Alpha.
“But I missed you, Bella,” Gina sighed, looking at her friend adoringly.
“I missed you too,” Arabella held Gina’s hand as she accepted.
“Bella, I am bored living in the palace,” Gina wrinkled her nose. Arabella’s expression turned worried.
“I mean, you owe me a tour of your kingdom, Warlock Queen,” Gina teased, making Arabella’s face brighten with a warm smile.
However, she knew if she asked Zephyr, he would refuse her plea. He never let her go out and tour the kingdom. Sometimes she found it overbearing. But as she was taught from her childhood, she had to obey her mate and comply with his every demand and will.
“I will talk to Zephyr. He will arrange a tour for you,” Arabella said hesitantly.
“You won’t come?!” Gina frowned. Arabella averted her eyes.
“I have much work in the palace. Maintaining a huge palace like this…” She gestured by stretching her hands apart. “…is not easy.”
“I understand, Bella,” Gina sighed with disappointment.
But she knew that being Queen of the largest kingdom was not simple; it came with many responsibilities.
Arabella and Gina were engaged in the conversation when suddenly Zephyr barged into the room.
“Your Highness!” Gina quickly got up, greeting him and slightly bowing.
“Gina, I need to talk to my Queen urgently,” Zephyr said, sounding annoyed.
Arabella was confused about why he suddenly was annoyed. He never behaved rudely with anyone in front of Arabella.
“Of course. I was about to leave, Your Highness,” Gina said, giving Arabella a faint smile before leaving.
Arabella felt sorry for her friend having to leave like this, but she knew she couldn’t afford to object.
“Arabella,” Zephyr took her in his arms as Gina closed the door behind her after departing.
“I need to talk to you urgently,” he said, kissing her lips.
“What happened?” she asked, worriedly caressing his large face.
Zephyr was very handsome and well-built. Any woman would consider herself lucky if he had chosen them, but he chose Arabella.
“My stepbrother, Alexander, is coming to visit us,” he disclosed.
“I will prepare for his welcome,” Arabella assured.
“No, you don’t need to do anything,” he snapped, and Arabella winced at his harsh tone.
He sighed, “You’re very naive, Arabella. My stepbrother is a womanizer. He is unmated and hits on every female he encounters.”
“But I am your mate,” Arabella reasoned.
“You don’t understand, Arabella. He doesn’t care about it and will try to get close to you. I can’t bear it,” scowled Zephyr.
“You don’t trust me,” Arabella gasped, sounding hurt.
Zephyr pulled her closer. “I trust you, love, but I don’t trust Alexander. He is very charming with looks and a body that makes every female fall at his feet.”
“But I am not like this,” Arabella protested.
“I know, sweetheart, but please listen to me. I want you to stay confined in this room and not come out in front of him,” he demanded.
Arabella nodded, knowing her husband did not like disobedience.
“You’re my life, Arabella. I can’t live without you,” Zephyr said as he slowly undressed her and carried her in his arms to the bed.
Arabella was surprised to see that he was very rough today as if claiming his ownership of her.
“Ah, please be gentle,” she begged, but he didn’t stop despite her pleas. She was tired and begged him to stop.
“I can’t stop, my love. I can’t help it; you are so sexy and beautiful,” he clenched his teeth as he spelled each word out between hard thrusts. He fucked her as if a beast inside him had awakened.
Arabella couldn’t understand why Alexander’s arrival bothered him so much.
