Chapter 48
Damn Heat
Clara woke up during the night with a slight ache in her abdomen, but it soon disappeared. Xavior could feel that she had some pain and rubbed her tummy lightly, taking it away. She settled into a deep sleep until Xavior woke up, heading into the bathroom to do his business. He was going to train but wanted her to stay put because of all the mess over the last few months. It was finally done last night when she fought her father for the crown and won.
Clara exited the bed, dressing in a sports bra and shorts. She did not want to train hard but needed to keep her body moving freely and stretch it out. She figured she would help with the training as Clara planned to take it easy. She would run drills and make some basic moves with the children since she had no time to spend with them. Her father never did this with his pack members, only responding to the royal members, but she would change that starting today.
She walked into the kitchen where Xavior and Dunken were eating a light breakfast when they turned to her and noticed she looked exhausted. He pulled her into his arms, making her sit on his lap so that she could eat some food. She’d mmm’d and hmmm’d about the food she was being fed and roll her eyes. She looked at Xavior and smirked, kissing him on his lips to see if she could get a rise out of him. He shook his head and leaned into her hair, smelling her intoxicating scent to calm him.
“And where do you think you are going, love?”
“Run and help train the little ones with some basic moves. I want to keep limber and stretch my body, just a light workout today, nothing much.”
“Hmm, you do not need to go out today just stay in bed, read a book, play games, or do a spa day. You deserve it, babe; you have been working non-stop, then your fight last night.”
“I know. I want to get my mind off what we discovered last night after the fight. It is too much to take in right now.”
He kissed her on her head, and they headed out to the grounds; she took over, smirking at Xavior while Dunken laughed at the look his alpha gave her.
“Good morning, trainees’ let’s get ready for some stretching and loosen up our bodies before we get into it.”
She took them through stretches with head, neck, and shoulders down to the ankles and feet. She believed in being limber to decrease injuries. This is what she had learned throughout her life training with her siblings. This part of training helped her to become more agile when fighting.
“Okay, we are good and limber. This is how it will work. Xavior will train the royal guards, and Dunken will be with pack members sixteen and up. I will handle those that are fifteen down to five years old. I will use some of you to help me with the smaller ones. Adults run ten miles, and those ages five to eleven will run for ten minutes and meet back here.”
She and the kids returned to their spots and wanted to see what they had learned thus far when another pain hit her, but it was bigger and stronger than her last one. She doubled over, putting her hands on her knees, and started sweating like she ran a marathon. Some unmated men were sniffing the air when Dunken got a big whiff of her. He ran faster towards her while mind-linking Xavior that he was grabbing Clara and taking her back to their room to meet him there.
Xander asked why then he got a big whiff and took off running after them knowing that the pain she felt during the night was just the beginning of her heat. This one was a doozie, and she was writhing in pain as Dunken ran to her and Xaviors suit as quickly as possible, laying her down on the bed shortly when Xavior ran in, breathing heavily when he looked at his Beta, nodding him, saying thank you.
“Baby, look at me; you feel the pain because you are in heat. I will take care of you for the next few hours, but I need you to tell me with your words what you want, okay?”
“I want... all of you now, please, Xave. I am so hot.” She whimpered.
He ripped her clothes off and took his off, running her into the bathroom, turning on the shower, putting them underneath the water, and letting the water cool her off. The water soothed her, and he washed her hair and body, letting her rinse off while he rinsed off, turned off the faucets, and grabbed two towels to dry them off. Once he was done, he carried her to their bed, curling up to his chest and holding her tight when she started groaning again.
She turned over and started kissing Xavior, running her hands up and down his chest and moving her arms around his neck; he was kissing her back feverishly with all he had to give. She started kissing his jaw down his neck, moving to his chest and taking his nipples, suckling them while she moaned. She continued kissing his abs down his V-line, moving to his massive hard cock, taking in her mouth and licking it from top to bottom and back again. She put it entirely into her mouth, down her throat, making him moan and making his dick twitch in her mouth.
“Baby, god, I am going to cum.”
She sucked harder and bobbed her head faster and faster, making him empty himself down her throat while she lapped every drop, then moving herself up to straddle him and kiss his Lucious lips again. He flipped her over and kissed her down her neck while playing with her nipples and then kissing them. He moved ever so slowly down to her wet pussy playing with her clit and making her squirm, wanting more of him.
“Please, Xavior, I need you in me; it hurts; please take me, all of me.”
“So impatient, love, aren’t we?”
He lined himself up to her entrance, slowly penetrating her folds. She was impatient and bucking her hips to get him inside her. He obliged by slipping in, moving his hips back and forth, kissing her lips, and moving her breasts back to her lips. He kept pumping into her. She was about to orgasm, but he slowed down, making her growl, then moved quickly, picking up speed when she was about to cum. He bit into her mark-making, setting off fireworks behind her eyes, and she did the same to him when they were coming simultaneously.
He lay beside her, and she sighed, letting him know she was satisfied until the next wave hit. They kept their sex for three days until she felt no longer hot and in heat. They were not using protection to keep unwanted pups at bay, but neither cared as they were in complete bliss and wanted to start a royal family.
They hit the showers and dressed, heading to the dining hall since it was dinner time. The pack members and some guests were present catcalling when they both walked in hand in hand, all knowing what they had been doing, asking if there were pups in the future, very near future. They both blushed a little, but she took it all in stride and laughed it off. They grabbed some food on their plates and sat and ate, conversing with everyone at the table.
Nobody addressed the elephant in the room about her mother, and they would address at the council after the coronation, which would be held in the next couple of days with a big party afterward.
When dinner was over, everyone went to the back and had a nice bonfire for the pack members and royal family members who wanted to come. Clara thought this would be an excellent time to talk to them about her vision for the community, get their take on her ideas, and see if they could contribute what they would like to see as growth in their community.
“May I have your attention while we are out here waiting for those who are getting the fire ready? I want to get everyone’s takes on something I have been planning to do for some time.”
“Yes, Princess Clara, what are you thinking about doing?” One of the members closest to her asked.
“We have such a big community or pack, but...I suggest putting a large community center with an indoor track, exercise center, basketball courts, volleyball courts, etc... Also an indoor swimming pool with an indoor water park for those long winters and not to mention a big pool outdoors. I also want to put up apartment buildings, new homes, and businesses for those that want to start a business or who has one running out of their homes.”
Everyone was all ears while she was telling what she would like to do. Some of the suggestions came to light from her members’ winery and beer garden, restaurants, bakeries, etc... Some kids were excited about the pool and recreation center. They could not wait till they could go swimming. She was pleased with the responses she had received from her pack family; like her, they wanted a change for the positive.
Some of the men volunteered to help with the plans and permits along with building, those men were the ones who worked in the human world, and they could get the wood, metals, and anything that was needed to get her plans to become a reality. Xavior was excited for his mate and what she would start doing. Everyone enjoyed music, drinking, and socializing with other families who were happy. Still, someone approached Clara and Xavior, asking if they could plan their wedding, coronation, and dinner party. They told her to come by in the next couple of days and show them what she had in mind.
Everyone dispersed, returning home and putting the little ones to bed. She and Xavior retired to their suite, getting ready for bed Xavior was curious about what they would do about her mother since she was now in the cells, and tomorrow they would have to contact their council members. Dunken could have done it but let Xavior know he wanted to wait because he felt uncomfortable.
After they got up and got ready for the day, Clara headed to their office, went through some paperwork that needed her attention, took care of those, and continued filing. She would use her mom to help with this, but that will not happen now. She waited for Xavior and Dunken to come in with breakfast to discuss her mother.
“Good, you are here, and I am starving. Thanks for bringing breakfast.”
“No problem, love, eat; you need it now more than ever.”
“I will call Damian to tell him what happened the other night’s fight.”
“Huh, no need; he is here along with Cortez.”
“Hmm, wonder why they came, did they say?”
The guys shook their heads no and continued eating breakfast until their guests were shown to the offices. A light knocks on the door, and Clara tells them to enter. The guards brought in the two guests while the kitchen staff came to clear their breakfast plates and left pitchers of water, juices, and coffee on the table.
“Gentlemen, what brings you here?” Xavior asked.
“Well, we need to know what happened at the fight and when the coronation will occur.”
“I was getting ready to make that call to you, Damian, but when my mate told me you were here, I did not have to. So tell us what you know, please.”
“We heard that you won, and congratulations on that, princess.”
“Thank you, did you know that we had a problem that arose from that fight?”
“No, we had not heard of anything. We were on assignment and wanted to be here to see it for ourselves. Our apologies for missing it.”
“Not a problem, gentlemen, but glad you are here so we can discuss what happened. Queen Meira took it upon herself to give my father a boost, so to speak, to keep going on fighting me. We did not know what happened until after I killed him. She came clean, telling us she was using magic and some poisons to help him win. We have since put her in our prison cells, where she has been for five days now.”
“Wow, we never expected this to happen, Clara. What would you like to happen now?”
“I do not know because she was supposed to do the coronation and hand me the queen’s crown and the king’s crown to Xavior, then take her retirement. We are at a loss now and are not sure how to proceed. Oh, and Libby is one of her sisters who had been banned from her coven.”
They were at a loss with the information they had just heard and could not find words to form. They sat there in silence for a while before anyone said anything. They sat there looking at each other with solemn faces that could not be read.
