Chapter 3: So Magical....

Luna Millicent's POV

As Alpha King Sylvester and I kissed, I suddenly felt my daughter's pain. Sylvester must have felt it too because we both drew apart as though thinking the same thing and looked towards the window of her suite. It was uncanny, the way we feel and think alike. Even twins could not know what the other was thinking or planning on doing the way Sylvester and I do. It was almost as though we were just one person or two people infused into one. I can never be grateful enough to the Moon Goddess for mating me with such an Alpha male. I had nearly lost him due to my bitterness and stubbornness but the Luna Goddess had intervened. I must have done some great things in my previous life to warrant being favoured this way by the Goddess.

'I don't know how my life would have been, if I had lost you', Alpha King Sylvester spoke into my ears as we looked simultaneously from the window of Iris' suite into each other's eyes, once more. 'My life would have been a living hell and I would have deserved it because of my stupidity!' he said, then smiling, ' Thank you for giving me a reason to live, a reason to know how it feels like to love and be loved in return!'

'I should be saying the same to you', I replied, standing on tiptoe so we could engage in another session of delicious kissing.

I feel so bad that as old as I was, I still enjoyed the attention, love, and companionship of my husband but my young daughter was single again and hurting... and lonely. Was there even a time she wasn't lonely since her torturous marriage? I thought in despair.

Over the past few months, we have organized parties and invited various young, handsome and promising young men, hoping Iris would take a fancy to any of them but she hadn't shown any interest in them. Many suitors had indicated interest in making her, their Luna or bride, but she has turned them all down. Is she ever going to recover from the ordeal she suffered in her marriage to Adrian, that jerk?

I had harboured hopes that Adrian's younger brother, Andrew would spark an interest in her but she seemed not to be interested in him either.

Sylvester and I don't want to force her into any relationship or union. We wanted her to make her choice. It is over a year now and Iris had still not fully recovered. She behaves as though she has, especially around us but I am her mother and I know she wishes things had been different. Sigh!

If her pups had lived, they would have given her another lease on life. They would have diverted her but that in itself, especially the way she lost them was disheartening and heartbreaking.

I admire her for forgiving her persecutors but left to me, I would have gauged Roxy's and Wendy's eyes out. How can a mother be so wicked as to give another helpless woman an abortion herb to destroy the babies in her womb just because she wanted her own daughter who she got through deceitful means, to wreck the woman's home and become the wife instead.

And Roxy herself, in her selfishness had put her half sister through hell and pushed her to losing one of her pups.

Anytime I think of all this, I feel really indignant and filled with frustrated fury.

'It will all work out, sweetheart, you'll see', Alpha King Sylvester said assuringly to me. 'Right now, I feel like being alone with my darling wife'.

'But.. Sylvester...' I protested halfheartedly, my body already on fire for him.

'You are not as worried about her as I am', he assured her. 'You know she is my beloved princess and I can get her married to any man of her choice if she just says the word but she is not ready and the Moon Goddess might just be preparing her for greater things', he said, stroking Luna Millicent's nose. 'At the appointed time she will definitely meet her fated mate. The mate she would be unable to resist!'

'You mean like she did with that jerk, Adrian?' I asked.

'No!' Alpha Sylvester answered. 'Of course it would be love at first sight but this time it would be different, because all her dreams about a perfect union will be fulfilled!'

I looked at my Alpha husband and smiled. He knew his to say the right things. He always says the things I want to hear. I prayed silently to the Luna Goddess that all Sylvester has said would come true.

We looked simultaneously towards Iris' window once more before my Alpha' dragged me into the mansion straight to bed.

This was another part of my relationship with the Alpha king that I wouldn't trade for anything. Being with him was always like being perpetually on heat. And our mating was always paradise. It was inexplicable. It was always like the mating and fusion of two souls into one. He was really my soul mate.

Could Alpha Christopher of blessed memory have known of this? Were all the things that happened, predestined for me to have this bliss? I shall never forget Christopher. He was my first love. He gave me everything worthwhile. My first two sons Devin and Kevin who have continued to bring me joy are gifts from him. He also gave me the gift of his brother. Even on his death bed, he kept insisting that I become his brother's Luna. He must have known that we would complement each other. The times spent with Christopher had been magical but he was my past, Sylvester is my present and future.

The Moon Goddess has really blessed me. Alot of women go through life without finding true love but I have experienced true love not once but twice and I have no regrets.

'Thank you, Moon Goddess', I said as I looked lovingly at my sweet husband who was staring at me as though I was the moon itself to him.

'Thank you, Christopher!' I thought fondly, for everything. I bent down, gave Alpha Sylvester a peck on his lips and was getting up to go find my daughter Iris when he pulled me down again on him and kissed me thoroughly and the both of us burst into joyful laughter as I felt him growing hard against my thighs, once more...
