Pack Adonis

Chapter 35

"I like the way how your mate is so protective of you, golden princess", Isabelle chuckled.

I leaned into Ryder, scared for my life. His arms tightened around me and he whispered he would protect me at any cost.

"I can feel the love radiating. So much passion, adoration and protection",

"If you even think about touching her, I'll-".

"I won't be killing your mate, Àlpha, you will",

I was pushed to the ground and Ryder climbed on top of me, his hands closing around my neck. He was choking me! He kept going harder and harder and I banged on him to stop, he didn't.

His eyes were red, I didn't recognize him. I heard everybody protest, but they didn't come to help. Did Isabelle have everyone in hand?

"Ryder", I tried.

"Ryder, please", I begged.

Tears streamed down my face and my lungs were screaming for air. I was slipping away. No, I didn't want to die. Not when Ryder and I were at this state, he would be devastated. I had to find a way to stop the magic.

"I-I...love...y-you", I tried.

His eyes shifted back to blue and he ripped his hands of my neck. My lungs filled with air and I cough, he pulled me up embracing me.

"I'm so sorry", he stuttered.

I held into him, behind me Isabelle was screaming in rage. But I didn't care for her, I just wanted to be in Ryders arms.

"I love you too", he confessed and we kissed.

Mate.

My wolf. She was here! I wanted to cry even harder, I finally had contact with my wolf.

Hey

I'm proud of you, but you need to kill Isabelle.

Kill?

She's a danger to papa and mama, she tried to kill us. The moon goddess wants us to kill her.

I pulled away from Ryder and moved to Isabelle, who held her hand out to me. But it did nothing, my bones started to crack. Was I going to shift?

Time to destroy her.

I jumped out into a wolf form and went for her. She screamed while I bite her head off. No, my wolf had full control, not me. But we had to kill her.

When I finished her I turned to look at the crowd, who were all bowing for me. My wolf stood straighter and let out a loud growl. My parents hurried to me and brushed my skin, I snuggled closer to them.

"Mona, my Mona", my dad smiled and I enjoyed his touch and love.

Finally I had something I wanted my entire life, parents.

/:/:/:/:

We collected in the living room, Ryder laid a blanket around me and pulled me close to his. His eyes stared at the makes his hands left on my neck, guilt filling his eyes.

"You stopped the magic, I'm proud of you", I assured him.

"I hurt you", he whispered.

Comfort him

"I love you. Please Ryder, don't feel guilty about something you couldn't control. All that matters is that we're together", I smiled and he joined me.

"It's official now, huh?", he grinned.

"Definitely", he pulled me in for a kiss.

Did I ever mentioned I loved kissing him? His lips were rough and warm, welcoming even. Ryder deepened our kiss and my hands moved to his hair, playing with it. Making him go insane.

"Yeah, let's stop right there", I laughed when my father came sitting in between us, pushing Ryder off the cough.

He laid his arm around me and challenged Ryder to come closer to his glare. Ryder laughed and moved to his parents. I looked up at my dad, who I just an hour ago fancied.

I know, disgusting.

"I'm proud of you, Mona", he smiled.

I would have to get used to everyone calling me Mona now.

"I did nothing special",

"You claimed your rightful place as crown princess and destroyed a treat to the family and the pack. You found your way back to us",

"Crown princess?", I repeated.

"You are my first born child",

"I know, but this whole world, it's all new to me", I confessed.

"When you were born, the moon goddess visited us, you would become the first female ruler this kingdom would have. She blessed you, saying you would be the greatest ruler our nation would ever have",

"I'm not great",

"She said once you would shift, your blood would turn gold and you would be able to put a stop on a big treat. Witches, dark witches, we've been trying to get ride of them for centuries. No one ever succeeded, I think you will", he told me.

"Golden blood?",

"Your full name is Mona Auria, meaning golden Royal. I'm most certain it turned golden now", he insisted.

I bite in my own finger tasting a weird fluid. I looked down and my dad smiled widely, we were staring at golden blood drops.

"The greatest leader this nation will even have", he repeated.

The golden blood started back at me and I touched it. I felt like I didn't know myself anymore.
