25. Vivianna #2
My wolf howled as Rik finally pulled the fabric to the side and put his mouth on my flesh.
Rik took his time lapping at me, nuzzling his nose against my aching clit.
I tried to grind against him, but he held me firmly pressed to the wall.
His tongue plunged into my core, making me weak in the knees, and if he wasn’t holding me, I would have dropped to the floor.
My body shivered at the wave of pleasure he was drawing out of me, not relenting in his avid attention.
Not caring how loud I was being, I let myself get swept away in his touch, crying out his name for all to hear.
When he was done with me, he fixed my panties and then rose, thankfully still holding me up.
His lips, beard, and chin glistened with my essence, marking him with my scent.
The thrill that blazed through my veins pulled a pleased smile to my lips.
I reached out and swiped my thumb over his lips, then pushing it in his mouth as he sucked my finger clean.
Why the fuck is that so hot?
Because you own that man, body and soul, and now everyone else will know it.
“Now you’re ready for tonight,” Rik purred.
Rik escorted me down to the living room where the rest of my men were waiting.
They all looked up at me and had the same reaction as Rik.
From my response alone, I knew that I needed to leave our rooms quickly or there would be no coronation dinner happening tonight.
Never had I been so horny before, and Rik had just graced me with an epic orgasm moments ago.
Maybe I’d just reached a new level in my libido since I had four men to sleep with now?
“Let’s get this coronation started so we can end it and get back here to have our own after-party,” I suggested, giving them all a lingering look.
Koit jumped to his feet, grabbed my hand, and dragged me out the door. “You heard the lady.”
I laughed as the others followed hot on our heels, putting me more at ease.
The whole castle was lit up with candles as it would’ve been before electricity was available, transporting us back in time with the warm glow flickering against the stone walls.
Tapestries that had been rolled up and put in storage had been pulled out and hung, showing the history of the Imperial Dawn Pack.
As we got closer to the dining hall, the hum of voices greeted us, letting me know that people had already arrived.
The most formal part of tonight was my presentation to the pack before the meal was served, so all the guests had been told to arrive early.
“Dama, you look ravishing.” Astrid said, coming up to me and grasping both of my hands in hers, licking my neck. “I knew this dress would be perfect the moment I saw it.”
I returned the greeting to her, knowing everything was going to be extremely formal tonight. “Thank you for not making me wear that monstrosity that Robin chose.”
“As you keep telling us, it won’t hurt to update things here and there. I think moving with the fashion trends is a change we can get behind,” Astrid said, winking at me.
“Mother, everyone’s gathered for the announcement and greeting,” Sarma said, joining us with her arm tucked around Juris’s.
It was then I realized that I hadn’t seen Juris in at least a week.
Granted, we did take all his work away from him now that I was Dama, and he and Sarma didn’t join us for dinners anymore.
So maybe it was just the fact that I hadn’t had much time to leave my wing of the castle, something I planned to change after this dinner.
“Juris, good to see you,” I said, giving him a small smile.
I’d always felt bad that he had such a controlling wife and didn’t seem to have much of his own identity in the world.
“You look lovely this evening, Dama,” Juris said, leaning down to greet me..
Sarma turned on her heel, jerking her husband along with her and heading for the dining hall doors. I noticed the extra guards all around, dressed in the uniforms of Darius’s company.
Looks like our mate did his job well. When do you think we should reward him for his hard work?
Girl, getting his own employees to show up to do a job is not hard work. Make him sweat a little longer in the doghouse. It seems to be getting through to him.
I couldn’t help the chuckle that slipped out at her words. It was very true that he had been much more interested in being a team player since he’d been on the outs with everyone.
Astrid entered the room first with Sarma and Juris, since she would be the one announcing me. Koit released my hand and took a step back—I had to do this part on my own. The guards on either side bowed their heads when I glanced at them, listening for their signal to open the doors for me.
“Pack of the Imperial Dawn, I am proud to announce and introduce you to your Dama, Alpha Vivianna.” Astrid’s voice called out, crisp and clear for everyone to hear.
The large wooden doors were pulled open, and I was greeted with the sight of five hundred people looking right at me.
Nope, can’t do it. Look how many people there are. I didn’t even know this many people lived on this island.
Where did your big girl pants go? Hmm? Woman up and do this.
“Sweetheart, you’re not alone in this, you have us at your back. Just look at Astrid and walk right up to her, that’s all you have to do right now,” Rik’s voice said, filtering through my mind.
Squaring my shoulders and lifting my chin, I did just like he said.
I latched on to the sight of Astrid standing next to a wooden throne at the end of the long room, keeping my steps controlled as I made my way forward.
People murmured as I walked by, many bowing their heads in submission.
That’s when I realized I had let out my alpha energy, and it danced along my skin, giving me the strength and confidence to continue on.
Finally, I reached Astrid, and I turned to face the crowd with her on my right.
“You’re doing well, Dama. Now we just have the greeting and the swearing of allegiance to get through,” Astrid whispered to me, then she stepped forward. “Wolves of the Pack, your Dama stands before you. Greet her and show your allegiance.”
While the pack filed into one long line, guards came to stand on either side of me. I had plenty of room, but they were close by if I needed them. As the first wolf, a young woman, walked up to me, head bowed, eyes on the floor, I took a deep breath and calmed down my alpha energy.
“Dama, I swear loyalty to you and the Imperial Dawn Pack for as long as I shall live among them,” the woman said.
“I promise, as your Dama, I will do all in the name of the greater good of the pack that is in my care,” I responded, giving her a smile.
