Torn between mates

36. Aureum

Richard

Titan and I want to help Lea to overcome her trauma, make her feel stronger. My sweet and delicate mate went through too much lately. Fighting is the only way to heal. Thus, I’m pushing her.

But even the training was too much for her. She doesn’t have the strength and stamina of a she-wolf. Titan growled in my head at that thought. He is very loyal to Lea, so the fact of me comparing her to a she-wolf only in thought is enough to irritate him. 

“Luna Mine is perfect Richard. We don’t need no she-wolf. Luna is softer, smoother, tender.” my wolf grumbled in my mind.

“Look who decided to talk,” I replied to him. When it was about her, he became atypically talkative. “the pup who is lost in love.” I added and my wolf growled in response. 

“I AM! No shame at that!”  he spoke proudly and firmly like the Alpha wolf he is, making me chuckle inside my mind. Lea also made me behave atypically, probably it was the first time I chuckled while talking to Titan in the last couple of centuries. 

“We are the same lost in love pup.” He sneered, making fun of me.

He is right. 

I took ‘Luna Mine’s’ hand and we walked to the riverbank. I took off my shirt and noticed that my little Luna had her eyes trained on my naked upper body, she was gawking at me. Her eyes glanced at mine for less than a second, which made her gasp and blush deeply. 

I chuckled, as I closed the distance between us and took her in my arms. “It’s all yours to look, Luna. I want to see all that is MINE too.” My voice was a guttural mix of amusement and possessiveness, as I rested my hand on the curve of her butt. 

She swallowed hard and the intensity of her blush grew, but I could also smell her p*ssy getting wet for me, very wet. Now, my only thought was to sink my d**k deep inside her. 

“Your eyes are glowing, are you…angry?” she asked confused. 

My wolf wasn’t on the surface due to anger, not this time. It was pure arousal, we both had the same thought and need, to have our Luna naked and trembling underneath us. 

“No, Luna Mine. I want you.” Titan took control, when I had a moment of distraction and said those words in his very deep and grave voice. We haven’t shifted, he only took control of my mind, of my ‘human’ body. 

“Richard?... Titan?” Lea asked in a whisper. 

“Yes, Luna Mine. It’s me,” he said, as I watched their exchange in the back of my mind, where this sly wolf pushed me to. I let him have some share of our precious Luna for few minutes, I gave him that. 

He crashed our lips on Lea’s roughly, our tongue invaded her parted lips and Titan kissed her deeply, desperately, exploring and possessing every corner of her mouth. Nibbling her lips, sucking and licking her tongue. We could feel her breath getting laboured as the smell of her arousal grew tenfold, she should be drenched by now. Titan parted the kiss to pull the thin shirt she was wearing off, leaving her only in her bra. 

Fuck, I hope it’s not too much for her! Stupid horny wolf! 

Before I could take back control, he scooped her in my arms and went into the river with her. Her full breasts were pressed against my chest, we looked down at them; we could see the inviting swell of her boobs, her round and soft flesh. I only wanted to kiss them, n'*bble and suck her n*****s, leave a way of hickeys all across her milky skin. 

She looked intently into my glowing eyes, her amber orbs warm, burning with desire, “Titan…” she muttered.

“Luna Mine.” He replied almost howling in contentment. He was about to cup her tit when I took back the control. It would have been too much for her, after everything she has been through in the claws of that bloody monster. 

I also have to scold this idiotic pup who calls himself an Alpha. “You can’t do that to her! It’s too much Titan, you’ll scare her!” I barked at him.

“Sorry. Hard to control” He muttered with a wolfish smile. Stupid animal! 

Lea wrapped her arms around my neck and propped herself up, pressing her lips against mine. “Titan.” She moaned, as I caressed the delicate curve of her waist and rested my hands over her hips. 

“It’s Richard, love,” I replied, she looked down, a bit embarrassed. “You are ours my Luna. Not his or mine. There is nothing to feel taken aback about.” I said as I kissed her again, in the same raw and passionate way Titan took her lips minutes ago. She melted into my touch and my kisses, running a hand down my chest and my 8 packs and making my c**k throb achingly. 

I had to stop before Titan take control, or even before my own desire to bend and f**k her overpowered me and I ended up ruining everything, severing our bond. 

“Let’s swim, Lea,” I said, pushing her away gently.

Valentin

I went to surprise my Angel by showing up in her little garden. I knew she was probably there, working on her flowers, balms, and elixirs. I was still astonished by her love for flowers, she could surely have been a Fairy, and she will be the Fae Queen. 

Thus, she needs to go to Aureum, the Fae Realm, our Realm. I should have taken her there some weeks ago already, but after everything that happened, I gave her some time. However, now is high time for her to become familiar with her future home. 

“Angel,” I called and she turned around and smiled sweetly at me. 

“Valentin.” She walked towards me and I wrapped her in my arms, taking her lips in a tender kiss. 

“Do you want to work on the flowers with me? I’m making a new balm with Magnolia oil and camomile extract to help expectant females to sleep better in the last months of their pregnancy.” 

“That seems wonderful, my Angel! I’m pretty sure Liv and many other females will appreciate it a lot. I would love to work with you on that, but I have other plans.”

My Lea’s eyes shined and became even more alive with curiosity. “What do you want to do?” 

“I want to steal you away. It’s high time for you to go to Aureum.” 

“That’ll be amazing! I would love to do it!” She almost jumped, I knew how my sweet female loved the idea to get to know new places and new things.

“Can we invite Ainhoa and Fred? Ainhoa will love it, she always wanted to go to Aureum! We read so many great things about it. The levitating Palace among the clouds, the river that flows from the sky, and all the animals and plants that you can’t find anywhere else! It’s like a dream.” Her face was pure joy and excitement. If I knew she would be that happy about going there, I would have stolen her away to my Realm a long time ago. 

But a few weeks ago, she was still a bit gloomy due to what Alexus did to her. I also planned to go there with her only, have a moment for the 2 of us. However, she was so excited about taking her friends there, that I couldn’t say no. 

“Sure, you can. I’m so happy you are that excited about going to Aureum.” I smiled and she hugged me again.

After some minutes, I flashed the four of us to Aureum. We arrived at the Hall of my palace, I was looking forward to introducing my Lea to everyone, especially Conrad (my second in command) and my uncle. 

“This place is so beautiful!” Lea said looking around the ample hall, with high columns and golden arcs. The floor-length arching windows let the sun come in and made the whole place shine naturally.

“It’s incredible! I didn’t imagine it could look that good when we were reading about it!” Ainhoa added, she looked as fascinated as Lea. 

“Goddess, there is even a river in the middle of the hall!” Lea said motioning to the small and narrow river that crossed the main hall. “Is that the one?” 

“Yes, that is the river that falls from the sky through the ever-opened palace gates.” Conrad chimed in with a bright smile, just after he arrived in a flash.   

“Angel, that’s Conrad. He’s my second in command and best friend. He’s also Sienna’s brother.” I said as I took Lea’s hand, she would get dizzy soon from the much spinning around she was doing in order to see everything. 

“Nice to meet you, Conrad.” She smiled and blushed slightly, as I noticed she does when she meets new people. It’s intriguing how eager and shy to meet new people my sweet mate can be at the same time. “These are my friends, Ainhoa and Fred.” She added. 

“.... Lea. I’m glad to finally meet you! Valentin has talked about you non-stop since you two met. It’s good to finally meet the female that owns all his thoughts.”  Conrad said as he kissed Lea’s hand. 

I knew that he was very happy for me. However, I’m sure that seeing me with my mate somehow opened an old wound in his heart, the fact that he was looking for and craving his own mate for centuries but couldn’t find her. 

“Nice to meet Ainhoa, Fred.” He added smiling. They nodded and smiled in response. 

“Valentin also told me a lot about you. He mentioned that you are a great musician.” Lea uttered. 

“I’m not as good as him,” Conrad replied. I’m yet to play for my Angel.

Lea and her friends went to the window, from there they could appreciate our Palace’s unique view, the clouds. Our palace was erected in the middle of the clouds by my mother, the late Queen Isidra, more than a thousand years ago. For that, she used Olympian’s magic. 

“As Conrad said, through the gates of our Palace the little river that crosses this hall, cascades in a waterfall from the clouds, providing water to the Realm’s main river, the Euanthe River. But you just can see the waterfall from that window.” I uttered as I guided my female to said window. 

“This place is indeed incredible!” Fred muttered as he and Ainhoa followed us. 

“Oh Goddess, it’s… it’s insane!” Lea squealed, as she looked at the waterfall. She couldn’t see the river, because of the covering clouds. 

“I’m very happy that you like our home, my Angel,” I said as I wrapped my arms around her waist from behind and admired the view with her. 

“Aureum is the most beautiful of the Realms,” Conrad added.

“I read that the Pixie Kingdom is also quite beautiful and has many scenic and hallucinating landscapes,” Ainhoa commented.

“The Pixie Kingdom is nothing in comparison to our Realm and Pixies are very despicable creatures,” Conrad added in a slightly bitter way.

Many, almost everyone around the Realms, have a prejudice against Pixies. They usually say that Pixies are lazy, selfish, tricky, and just care about indulging themselves in the carnal pleasures. I, myself, have a more neutral view of them. They may be those things, but they aren’t wicked as many people depict them. 

Ainhoa and Fred looked at Conrad a bit startled for a second. I think Lea didn’t even hear his remark, she was too lost in the view. My sweet daydreamer. 

“I’m sorry, I didn’t want to sound harsh,” Conrad said scratching his neck awkwardly. I have to talk to him to avoid such comments in front of my female and her friends. 

“It’s okay. Everyone is entitled to have their own opinion.” Ainhoa replied nonchalantly and Fred nodded. 

“Let’s go to see the throne room?” I asked them, trying to mitigate the uncomfortable sensation left in the air. I guided our small group there.
