Chapter 142 Chapter 142


    Lucien POV


    380


    This wasn''t just a celebration for my newborn pups. No, it was something much bigger than that. For the first time in generations, in centuries, the Shadowfang bloodline was free. The curse that had haunted my family-killed every woman who bore heirs-was gone. I could finally breathe without fear of losing Auren. I could hold my mate and know that she would live.


    The day in the evening when the celebrations started, it was only joy everywhere. The full moon hung like a jewel in the sky. It was a new moon that cast its soft glow across my pack''s territory. The celebrations were going on at the clearing in my pack''s territory. Firepits were lit, long tables were stacked with roasted meat, spiced vegetables, fruits and warm bread. Overhead,nterns were hanging from the branches of the trees. Laughter filled the air. Music rose from speakers. It wasn''t just a celebration. It was homing.


    Our people weren''t just cheering for my twins. They were cheering for hope. For freedom that eluded us.


    My heart, my love, stood beside me, her hand tucked in the crook of my arm.


    Dressed in silk blue and silver gown, she held Tamara in her arms while Bradley rested in mine. Her scent was stronger, full of life. She had mentioned that the coppery scent in me that usually lingered, vanished. And I knew that the curse had disappeared from my soul.


    My pack people couldn''t stop looking at her with awe. She wasn''t just their Luna, she had be their legend. She was a silent warrior, a bearer of new life and the mate of their Alpha who broke the curse. She was the woman I would worship forever.


    As my pack members gathered around me, I said, "Shadowfang wolves, today is not just celebrating survival, it is about family, about faith and about the woman who carried me through the darkest times, who carried all of us through the dark times and emerged victorious."


    Cheers erupted.


    I nced at Auren, who was blushing. Her eyes shone and her lips curved with a soft smile.


    I lifted Bradley slightly. "Our future. Shadowfang''s future!*


    A unified how rose from the wolves. The Elders pped as they looked at Auren, Vivi and other omegas dabbed their eyes, while many others smiled, watching Auren and me with reverence.


    As the cheers faded, I asked them all to enjoy the night to the fullest. Once all of them were gone, I leaned down and whispered in Auren''s ear, "Once this is over, I am going to worship your body. And I''m not done spoiling you yet."


    She flushed and I chuckled. Even though the curse was broken, my obsession with her was not. I looked at my pack members. As Alpha, I had led them through storms. But Auren? She ended one. Tonight, every howl, every song and every fire that burned brightly... it was all for her. I knew it on instinct.


    It was difficult to believe that a year ago, she hade to my pack as a trade deal, to be my breeder and to give heirs to the Shadowfang pack. And now she stood next to me like a queen. She fucking owned me. I loved her body and soul. Vivi came to us for the babies. Auren had already fed them and so they were sleeping tight. I watched Tarian. He was looking happier than ever. Like a weight was lifted off his shoulders. He nced at me and nodded with a grin, and then went to talk to others.


    As the evening matured, the fires thinned, glowing softly like sleepy eyes. The pack members danced slowly as they drank wine and talked in hushed tones.


    Auren was sitting in between my legs as I watched them. I got up and wrapped my arms around her waist. Resting my chin on her shoulder, I murmured. "Tired?"

    She ced her hands on arms. "Yes," she whispered. "But I''d never been so happy."


    I pressed a soft kiss to her neck. “You''ve given the greatest gift of hope. And you have given me everything"

    She leaned away to give ess to her neck. Like a greedy wolf, I kissed her more, licking and sucking my mark. She shivered in my arms. Under the stars and moon, I wanted to make love to her. Slow and long. "Care for a dance?" I asked.


    When she nodded, I got up and pulled her up. We walked to the nearest firepit. I held her by her waist. We swayed together. Just us. No weight of the world. Just a man and his mate, holding forever.


    I couldn''t stop myself anymore. I picked her up in my arms.


    "Lucien!" she squealed.


    I looked at her intensely as I carried her away.


    "Where are we going?" she asked.


    "Somewhere quiet. Somewhere I have you for myself."


    She tucked her head in the crook of my neck as I carried her to a hilltop, away from the celebrations. The moonlight bathed the hilltop in silver. It was quiet. I set her on her feet and intertwined my fingers with hers. From here, we could see the celebrations. It looked like a sea of flickeringnterns.


    "It''s beautiful," she murmured.


    My eyes were on her. "Yes," I sighed. She looked at me with a question in her eyes. But before she could say it, my lips were on hers. The next I knew was that I was removing all her clothes. She looked ethereal in the moonlight. Her skin glowed under the moon. The curves in her body had be fuller. Both her ass and her breasts were rounder and heavier.


    "You''re beautiful!" I said in a hoarse voice as I straddled her. I lowered my mouth to her breasts and suckled them, gently at first, and then hard. She cried as she buried her fingers in my hair, her body arching. I released her nipple with a pop sound andtched onto the other. Sweet goddess. She was so fucking sexy. I went lower to her belly where I kissed and sucked her skin, leaving my marks along the way.


    When I reached her pussy, I just couldn''t stop myself. Itched onto her clit. She moaned. "Lucien..." Fuck. The way she said my name. It made me hard as a rock. I opened the zipper of my pants and removed it. Then I pulled out my shirt and sucked her pussy like a wolf gone thirsty.


    I couldn''t hold myself. I was in a hurry to sink myself deep inside her. Positioning my cock at her entrance, I thrust inside roughly. "Ah!" she moaned. My eyes rolled in my head. She was divine. Her pussy was weeping for me. I started thrusting hard. It was like if I didn''te inside her, I''d die. So I increased my pace. Harder, harder, and with a roar, I came inside her. Following my cue, her pussy fluttered around me and she also came.


    "Fuck!" I rasped. "This will never get old!"


    She chuckled as I rested my head over hers,zily thrusting inside her. I had only just begun.
