Her Forever
Chapter 82

Max and Evelyn

Evelyn was struck in awe when Max first approached her. He was so large in stature, easily standing as large as her father. It made her feel petite, just like her mother looked to her father. His skin was tanned, and his dark hair was slicked back, but a few tendrils of hair touched his cheek. She wanted to be the one that touched his tanned cheek, and for once, she felt jealous of a few pieces of hair. Evelyn smiled at him as he took her hand and kissed her knuckles, and announced to the entire ballroom that he had found his mate.

“MINE!” he roared, and there was an eruption of applause and cheers. Several girls in the corner looked on with jealousy at the couple but would soon find their own mates in their own time. Max stood next to his mate and put his hand next to her cheek, which she greedily leaned into. His eyes were a deep brown but had flickers of golden amber to them. He looked at her longingly, just the way her father looked at her mother. For once in her life, she felt content and happy and so in love. She found her mate in a place she never thought possible, and today of all days.

Her mother seemed sure of herself as she got her ready today. Could it be possible she knew all along? Mother winked at her, she did know!

Max guided her to the dance floor to have their first dance together. If he had learned anything from his time writing to his Luna, now Queen, it was the importance of wooing his mate. That it shouldn’t be the bond that should hold mates together but the romance and the friendship one builds with a mate. The thought crossed his mind that maybe, just maybe, his queen knew that her own daughter would be his mate, but that didn’t matter. He wasn’t going to be barbaric and mark her right here in front of the world. He would court her just like King Seth did to his mate.

Gently, he took her hand and led it to his shoulder while the other hand was held in his, and they started to dance to the ballroom. Her waist was small, yet muscular something that Max really admired. He had spent most of his days training, and he had hoped for a mate that appreciated the outdoors and her very own strength. Max came closer to her, and Evelyn’s breathing hitched as his hand gripped her waist.

“I feel as if we’ve met before,” Max whispered in her ear as they swayed together.

“Me too,” she said. “Almost like in a dream?”

“It feels more than that,” Max said huskily. “I’ve held you in my arms long before this.” Evelyn gave him a curious look while he smirked down at her. “In fact, I held you close to me, and you nuzzled your little head right here in the crook of my neck.”

Evelyn was utterly confused. She knew she had never met this handsome man before in her life. “What is your name?” Trying to forget the close proximity of their bodies. “Max, son of Alexander of the Pinecreek Pack, and you are Evelyn, daughter of Queen Sadie and King Seth.”

Evelyn rolls her eyes, “everyone knows that. Everyone knows me because of my parents.”

“Ah, but I was the first man to hold you in my arms beside your father. You truly are mine.”

“What games are you playing?” Evelyn laughed. “How do you know me?”

“Your Mother has been my muse since she saved me at a young age. She changed my shy ways to become a mighty warrior, and I pledged myself to protect her and her family. Now here I am, with the Goddess’s humor here to protect not just the Royal family but my mate.” Max gave her a devilish smile and smelled the crook of her neck. She sighed at the feeling and whimpered as he let go.

“So you are the one my mother writes to like clockwork all these years? She would never let me read those letters, even though she kept them in a box on the top shelf of her closet. I thought it was a long-lost brother she was ashamed of.”

Max looked hurt, “Of course not, I’m better than a long-lost uncle. I’m your mate.” Max’s wolf rumbled in complaint, and Evelyn rubbed her nose into his neck out of instinct. The growling subsided, and he took both of his hands and held her closer.

“No, my darling, I knew you were mine the day you were born. I was but a pup when your mother was Luna, and I was the first to enter the delivery room after you were born. I carried orchids and put them by your cradle and held you for a good hour before you had to eat. Your father was terrified I wouldn’t give you back.”

“You really knew I was your mate, all the way back then?” Evelyn said in disbelief.

“At the time, I didn’t know. I just felt a strong need to protect you from all harm.”

“Why didn’t you visit me again then?” Evelyn was hurt that her future mate never came to see her in the next 20 years.

“I was training that caused me to travel to far exotic places, such as Earth. I wanted my mate to be proud of me, so I told myself to climb the ranks so I could be worthy of such a princess.” Evelyn smiled, and Max led her to the lone balcony.

The moon was waning, and the fireflies were dancing around the garden. Several new mates were strolling hand in hand, looking at the roses and orchids that Sadie asked to be planted. There were many garden swings set out, saying they needed to be there, just in case a Cinderella case was to be involved. No wolf understood until they saw the live-action Disney version of Cinderella, and now they all play into Sadie’s antics of romance.

Max continued to hold her close and peppered k****s over Evelyn’s face. She laughed as he continued to pull away. They were both so new to this, both waiting for each other to find their mates. Both of them had their ideas of what their real second k**s might be, what it would be like to mark and mate each other, and they both knew they would do it tonight.

Max’s wolf couldn’t prolong the inevitable, and Evelyn’s wolf was the same. It wasn’t love at first sight for them but their souls’ recognition of each other.

Max leaned in for his second k**s with his mate, and they both gently parted each other’s lips. Both lips were soft and only meant for each other. Neither lips had graced any other wolf. They were going to be each other’s firsts, something hard for both wolves. They were half-animal, they were meant to be wild and free, but both of them knew their hearts could only be with their one love.

Evelyn’s parted mouth let Max’s tongue seep into hers. They danced along with the rhythm of the songs inside. Max’s k**s became rougher as Evelyn began to m**n slightly in his mouth. She had no idea where these sounds were coming from, but her wolf continued to egg her on and show her explicit images of what may come tonight. She felt her body become hot while Max’s wolf was growling in appreciation. His wolf was mad with l**t.

Max took his hands and roamed her waist and near her back. He wanted to take his hands and squeeze her peach backside and pull it close to him so she could feel what she was doing to him. Gaining the courage and pulling her close, she gasped in surprise. A soft hum came from her, and both arms went around his neck. They parted, both panting for air, keeping their forehead touching each other.

Before Max dove back into his mate, there was a clearing of throats. Queen Sadie and King Seth walked to the balcony with open arms for their daughter. “I’m so happy for you, Evelyn!” Sadie said motherly. She glanced over at Max and immediately hugged him. “I’m so glad I was right! This is the perfect match!”

“Mom, you knew?!” Evelyn dragged out her sentence. Sadie laughed and looked at Seth lovingly. “I wasn’t sure, but I had a hunch! Max just couldn’t bear to part with you when it was time for him to go off to training for all those years. Honestly, I thought he would cry!” Max blushed scarlet and rubbed the back of his neck.

While the two couples were talking, several she-wolves were looking on longingly. Max’s aura was powerful, and they couldn’t help but shudder at his utterly good looks. They knew that he wasn’t their mate, but they really wanted a taste. They sent winks and moved their bodies in poses to try and catch Max’s attention, but his eyes were all on Evelyn. Once Evelyn realized what some of the neighboring pack sluts were doing, she sent an evil glare with a warning growl that could be felt through the floors of the balcony.

“He is OURS,” Evelyn’s wolf Athena cried. “Damn straight,” Evelyn said back.

Max looked in surprise as Evelyn just staked her territory with him. He smirked at her. He was damn proud of a mate that was so protective of him. Not only was she a beautiful creature to him, but she cared so much about him already. Max’s wolf, Thantas puffed up with pride.

“An excellent mate,” Thantas beamed. “For certain,” Max spoke freely to him.

Max and Evelyn looked at each other shyly while King Seth stood with his arms crossed. “I assume this isn’t going to inhibit our abilities to protect the royal family, correct?” Max stood up taller and crossed his arm. “Of course not, Your Majesty. Evelyn and the Royal family are in good hands.” Seth let down his facade and engulfed Max. Over the years, he also wrote to Max, knowing that his own intimidation might scare the poor pup off.

“Excellent! We will plan a mating ceremony soon. We will leave you both to it.” Seth turned quickly to hide the tear that threatened to fall. It felt as if just yesterday his small first-born pup came into the world. Knowing his daughter was about to be deflowered hurt him more than anything. Sadie took another minute to look at both of them. Folding her arms, she gave a wink and a quick mind-link to Evelyn.

“Your new apartment suite is on the West wing on the 6th floor. You always did love playing there as a child.” Sadie smiled left the balcony. Evelyn took this as their time to take action and leave while no one watched. As much as she wanted to get to know her mate, her wolf was restless.

Evelyn grabbed Max’s hand and he ran after her. “Where are we going, Evelyn?” Max acted confused yet intrigued by her laughter. They ran down the white marbled floors hand in hand. Several guards looked on amusingly as Max nodded while they took the stairs. Max could feel the beating in his chest. The most precious thing the goddess could give was about to be his, forever. The quick in his step and newfound courage, he grabbed his love by the knees and she fell back into his chest. Running with his mate bridal style, he headed to the West wing on the 6th floor.

His love looked at him in shock. How did he know where they were going? Max gave a wink, his favorite thing to do with his love, and a mischievous smirk came to play. “Your Mother is a fantastic woman,” he threw his head back and laughed.

Once Max opened the doors, he smelled the new aroma in the air. His mate was already aroused, and the pressure to really warm her up was off. She looked at him with l**t-filled eyes, and he immediately ran to the bedroom. Quickly throwing her on the bed, he pulled and tugged at the formal dress. It was a b***h to get in it and certainly a b***h to get out. He took his claws and started ripping the dress. She didn’t need the color red anymore to attract any males. He was all she needed.

Even though this was both their first time, they knew exactly what to do, what turned each other on, and what touches enticed them for more. Their wolves were pacing, showing them how each other’s touches could ignite the fire within themselves.

Max pulled his jacket and uniform off in record time as he saw his mate laying there in black, lacy lingerie. She may look innocent, but the things she wore let him realize how big he scored when it came to the bedroom. Max still had his white uniform-style boxers on, and his e******n was making it painful for him to keep it on. He didn’t want to scare his dear mate into not wanting this. He continued kissing down her neck and to her chest. He fiddled with the bra strap behind her but grunted in frustration.

“Let me help,” she said in his ear while she bit it playfully. Max g*****d and felt the tightness of his boxers. Once her chest sprang free, he couldn’t help but curse. “Holy s**t, you are beautiful, mate.” His thoughts when he was alone in training and how his mate’s t**s would look and feel to him made him hard. He only could go off of what other wolves had told him. Her chest was warm, inviting, and could make a wolf purr at the sight. Now here they were, right in front of him, all his for the taking. He grabbed them, played with them while she m****d his name. Max loved his name on her lips. It made him feel so wanted by his mate. His hands were replaced by k****s, sucking, and nibbling.

Evelyn’s core was a weeping mess. She didn’t realize just how messy the whole ordeal could be. Her mother explained in some detail but this was something completely new. She rubbed her legs together and scratched Max’s back. “Max, I need more. I need you to touch me.” That threw Max a new one. He growled playfully and ventured lower. His father told him how once you find your mate, the taste of their essence does things to you.

Max wasted no time and kissed her bundle of nerves lovingly, waiting to hear Evelyn’s mewls of pleasure. “Max, oh, that feels so good.” Her hand reached down and pulled on his hair which enticed him more. He inserted one finger in her, and her h**s bucked to his face. He laughed, and it only caused her to come over the edge right then. “Maaaax!”

Max licked her slit, and his father was right. It was like sweet ambrosia to him. Evelyn sat up immediately and grabbed Max’s member without warning, which caused a large hiss followed by a “f**k Evelyn!” He leaned back on the bed while she fondled his member and inspected it. She had never seen one in person and had only seen them in mating books to please your mate. Ones her mother never knew about. It looked enticing to her. She was never sure she would be one to suck on her mate’s member but just seeing him wither under her with just a hand, what would a mouth do?

Evelyn licked the tip and began to put his whole rod in her mouth. She began bobbing, and his h**s began to meet up with her mouth. “Dear goddess!” He pulled her away from his member and laid her back on the bed. “I want to mark you.” He was breathless. He wanted her and her only.

“Then mark me,” she whispered in his mouth while she gave a small Eskimo k**s to his nose. He parted her lower lips and lined up his angry member to her center. Evelyn gave a slight nod, and with one swift thrust, he impaled her. His mouth covered her silent scream as he moved in and out of her. Stars were bursting in both of their visions, between the sparks and love making all in one night it felt too much. It didn’t take long, but with three more thrusts, Max’s teeth elongated as well as Evelyn’s. As they both reached their climax, they dove their teeth into each other’s necks.

Complete bliss-filled their hearts as their souls intertwined and became one. The link was open to them, and their love for each other would forever be embedded in their immortality.
