Personal Assistant to the Alpha (Book 9 of the Regal Eclipse Pack Series)

Prologue

Noelle Remington lay on her side, staring at the wall across the room. Pictures of her family stared back at her. How much her life had changed over the last several years, but she loved it. Loved her little family, and loved her big family.

Today though, everything would again change, and she was both excited and nervous about it. Today, she would take over as the head. She would become the Alpha of Regal Eclipse and the Alpha Queen of all Werewolves. The stodgy old Alphas wouldn't approve.

"You need a distraction, Darling?"

His voice still affected her in all the right ways. His accent was still prominent, and it sent shivers through her. Even after all of this time, it didn't take much for him to arouse her, for him to make her do whatever he wanted. She may be his Alpha, but she had no problem submitting to him.

"Always," she whispered. She wasn't facing him, and she felt him scoot up against her back, his bare muscled chest that she knew so well pressed up against her.

His hands crept around her, and closed around her bare breasts, rhythmically stroking them, and arousing her more. He knew exactly how to please her and she would enjoy every second of it. Nick could distract her at any second of the day, and she welcomed every one of those distractions.

Soon, he was over her and in her, moving at an even pace as they locked eyes with each other. He picked up his speed, slamming into her much harder and causing her to gasp at the intensity, before she tipped over the edge, pulling him with her.

He collapsed on top of her for a brief moment. "I love you so much, Noelle."

"I love you," she whispered back.

He kissed her deeply with all of his love, then rolled off of her.

She laid still for a moment, then sighed. "I guess I need to get up and start getting ready."

"It's just one day. Tonight, we'll be back here alone, and I'll bury myself inside your sweet body again," Nick promised.

She looked at him with a smile. "I'm holding you to that."

He smiled. "Hope so."

Noelle climbed out of bed and headed into the bathroom to shower. This whole entire ceremony had been in the works for months, everything meticulously planned down to the last detail.

Guests had been arriving for the last few days, using the housing that had been built for the last crowning ceremony. Her mother's ceremony. It had all been fully updated and made to look brand new.

Another ceremony wouldn't be held until her own heir was crowned. Who knew when that would be, though Noelle highly doubted she'd rule as long as her own father had. Of course, he'd been much older when he'd found his mate and she'd given birth to Noelle, his heir.

Noelle had been in her forties when she'd given birth, her heir now twenty-five. Her father had been over three hundred years older when she'd been born.

She finished up her shower and threw on some sweats and a T-shirt before heading back out into her bedroom. Nick was up and dressed as well, in something similar to what she was wearing.

"I'm going to take Natalia with me down to hang out for a bit in the gaming room. I'll bring her to you later," Nick said.

Noelle nodded, and took a deep breath. She could feel the nerves creeping back up.

Nick crossed the room to her and pulled her into his arms. "Relax."

She felt herself calm down at his touch and sighed. "I may need you to come do this periodically so I don't freak."
