King

Isabella's Point Of View

THE NIGHT CAME rather too quickly, and I was all dressed in a beautiful dress for Dimitri's ascension ceremony. I stood in a crimson red dress that was picked out specially by Dimitri, and I must say he had a good taste. It was a flawless long gown, with a thigh high slit by the side. It clung nicely to my skin, accentuating my every curve and showing just the right amount of cleavage which I loved. I could tell Dimitri put a lot of thought into picking it.

It was already time and the ascension ceremony had begun. Everything was already set in place, gentle bands played soft music, while the gathered guests mingled and chattered, everything was perfect.

I could feel tingles dance on my skin, instantly I was enveloped by a warmth all around me.

It was my mate.

I felt his sweet and feathery kisses trail down my neck, as his arms circled tight around my waist, I bit on my lower lip, trying to fight back the moan that was threatening to escape from my lips.

"Bloody hell Dimitri? There are a lot of people around watching." I whispered, turning my head around so I could look at his gorgeous face, my eyes instantly getting lost in his hazel orbs.

He was strutted, dashing in a beautiful black tux with a black bow tie clinging around his neck. He looked so aesthetic, so divine.

I had missed him so much these days, with his coronation coming up he has been so busy with meetings with packs and Alphas. He was barely around, but that will all change after his coronation.

"Then let them watch, love. I'm finally back with my mate." He whispers back into my ear as he kisses down my neck. I loved the feeling of peace and safety I felt in his arms right now. I felt so protected and secure around him, like there was nothing wrong that could happen.

"You look so ravishing. Out of everyone here you are by far the prettiest." he whispered in my ear, making me blush again, even more. I was getting so turned on from his compliments.

"And you look so handsome, Supreme Alpha King." I joke with a courtesy bow, causing him to chuckle softly.

Did I ever mention that I loved the sound he made when he laughed? Although it didn't happen quite often, it sounded like a choir of angels playing harmonious music to my ears. There was something sweet about his laughter-- it was serene.

"There's no need to be so formal, Supreme Luna Queen." Dimitri smiled at me. I smiled, staring at him and I couldn't stop it, those flashbacks from the dreams I have been having kept crossing my mind, reminding me that there was still a lot to be scared of, that I could lose him. I could see him, blood dripping from his crimson stained lips-- just like in my dreams-- I saw him die again.

I was so engrossed in my dreadful thoughts that I couldn't even hear Dimitri calling out to me. I quickly drew myself out of my thoughts, putting back the light in my eyes. I gazed at the suspicious look on his face, he knew something was wrong with me.

"Isabelle--" he had a deep look in his eyes as he stared at me with furrowed brows.

"Hmm--?" I parry, trying so hard to avoid his eyes, without showing that I was hiding anything from him.

"I was saying that you did an amazing job with decorating the pack house, but you were spaced out. Something is wrong, What is troubling your mind?" He asks me, looking at me with those sexy eyes that could see deep into my soul.

It's at times like this I'm sure he wished he could access my thoughts, but I was one of the very few people that he couldn't read their thoughts, because I was the chosen one, my mind was warded off from all magical penetration.

I shifted under his gaze, avoiding his eyes. "It's nothing-- Believe me there's nothing wrong." I declared, but I knew I didn't manage to convinced. He was about to say something before Lance showed up. His timing couldn't be more perfect.

"Dimitri, the Elders just arrived, your ascension ceremony will begin now--" Lance pauses, probably accessing the situation and realizing he was interrupting something once again.

"Forgive me… Am I interrupting?' Lance asks, his gaze shifting from Dimitri to me.

Dimitri sighed, looking back at me with worry for me in his eyes. He knew something was wrong.

"It's nothing Lance, let's just get this formality over and done with first." He was led away by Lance.

I felt so terrible keeping this from him but I didn't have any other choice.

I didn't know how to tell him what I saw in my visions. How do you tell your own mate that you had a bloody vision of you daggering him to death?

That is so messed up! I couldn't tell him about my dreams, mostly when it could all just be a fabrication made by the Dark one.

The lights in the ballroom dimmed and all attention drew to the stage where Dimitri stood with three Elder wolves. The elder wolves were ancient wolves, they were old and were seen as conduits of knowledge. That was why they were respected as Elders.

I watch the Elder wolves perform the ancient ceremony of ascension.

"We have all gathered here today, to mark and witness the ascension and coronation of Dimitri Axel Castellan, great and last descendant of King lycaon." One of the elders says,

"Dimitri, do you accept this honor of being the one true Supreme Alpha King of the wolves and promise to rule with truth and wisdom? To uphold the sacred honor of the werewolf blood and legacy?" Another one asks.

"I choose to accept the responsibility of being Supreme Alpha, King of all werewolves. And I solemnly swear to lead in truth and wisdom. To uphold the sacred honor and legacy of our kind and lead the pack to greatness." Dimitri answered wholeheartedly and honestly. I was positive he would no doubt achieve his promises.

They placed a crown made of the bones of a phoenix on his head, this was a symbol of authority and honor.

"So then we, the Elders of the wolves, therefore name you Supreme Alpha King!" They announce.

Dimitri let out a dominating growl as Supreme Alpha King of the wolves, this growl could be felt by every werewolf alive. Right in this very moment a bond was established between Dimitri and every wolf giving him authority over them as King. His loud growl caused every wolf present to bow on their knees submissively.

The fireworks boomed in the night sky as the entire room clapped and cheered, welcoming the new King. The coronation ceremony was over, we were now left with the after celebration.

The ceremony went well but I couldn't shake off the dreaded feeling I had at the pit of my soul. It was as if something was constantly watching and waiting for the moment to strike.

I slipped out of the party unnoticed, returning to my Chambers. I stood by the gigantic window frame, staring at the moon up above. I was lost in thoughts about what could happen, trying to predict whatever Fate had in stock for us.

The doors opened, I didn't need to turn around to know who it was, I could feel our mate pull telling me it was my mate, Dimitri.

He enters the room and leaning against the wall. His suit and bow tie was off and the buttons to his shirt slightly loosed.

"You know It is really rude to leave your own party." I voiced.

"The Alphas can take care of themselves." He made his way towards me, stopping a few inches away from me. He looked at me, soaking in my every essence.

"You have been acting strange Isabelle, I know something is wrong. Tell me what has been bothering you?" He asked, his eyes searching mine for the truth.

"Dimitri I'm fine, there's nothing bothering me." I hiccup due to my lie, I cursed at myself and my inability to tell a lie.

"I'm your mate Isabelle. I know when there's something bothering your mind. I can sense when you are scared about something. Your problems are mine so enough with the secrets, it isn't helping." He says, tipping my chin to look at him.

I was cornered and I didn't know what to do. Should I just tell him about my vision or not? I debated inwardly before letting out a deep sigh.

"Fine, I had another vision." I said. His eyes easing up.

"What is it that you saw?" He urged.

"My vision was about me and you and in it I… I... killed you." I sigh looking down.

"That is it?" He scoffs, shocking me with his smile, as he leaned back, resting on the wooden drawer behind him.

"Yes, why are you smiling? Doesn't this worry you?" I was surprised at his reaction. I didn't expect him to treat this with so much levity.

"No, it doesn't worry me and I have three reasons why this could never happen. One, Because I know you would never hurt me." He pushes himself from the drawer as he strides over to where I was.

"Two, we have beaten Fate once before, we have gone against all odds and we survived it. We won." He was now standing before me, with his left hand stroking my cheek, and breathing in my scent.

"Three, nothing bad can happen to me as long as you are here beside me." He finally says, so sure about his words.

"Then what about what I saw?" I ask, still skeptical about everything.

"It could be a mistake, visions never give the complete picture on things. For all we know your vision could have been manipulated and you could only see what someone else wanted you to see." He assures me.

"Dimitri, I'm scared that I could lose you. I don't think I would survive it if that happens, I would give up everything for you." I sob, letting the tears fall. I couldn't lose him… I won't.

"You won't lose me, I promise you that. We will survive whatever may come together." Dimitri said, kissing my tears away and I fell even deeper into his soft kiss, soon it turned to a wild fire of passion. His lips were soft, but his kiss is raw and feels so damn good.

I follow his lead and move my lips against his. His tongue bites along my bottom lips, I take the initiative to open my mouth. He then plunges his tongue inside mine, exploring and claiming his territory.

Dimitri bounces me up and I wrap my legs around his waist. He lifts me over to the wooden drawer, still showering me in his dominating kisses.

Then I feel his hand ripping the back part of my gown and seconds later, it rolls down my arms with ease, falling at my waist, leaving me exposed in nothing but my black lacy bra.

"Fuck! Dimitri…" My whispers trail off as he continues kissing me this time with more urgency and I kiss him back with just as much enthusiasm and fire. I need him more than anything right now. In retaliation I completely unbuttoned his shirt, taking it off him, not wanting any cloth or material in between us, I wanted him now.

I place my hands on his firm chest feeling the warmth of his skin and his heart beating steadily under my palm.

I stared at him and my eyes were captured by the beautiful work of art before me. I stare at those broad shoulders, chest and toned hard abs. He looked so magnificent. So sexy and he was so mine.

We were both half naked now, with our skins pressed against each other as we let our desires blindly lead us.

In amazing lycan speed I was pushed against a wall, Dimitri's hands ripping off completely my red dress he had me wore. A strained moan escaped my lips, I could feel his body pressed tightly against my back, his groin fully erect and stabbing at my behind. He continues plastering kisses and leaving hickeys down my neck and my bare back.

I was carried in Dimitri's arm, bridal style, to my bed, then he placed me gently onto it, with him towering over me like he was ready to devour me like an apex predator.

His eyes were filled with an intense desire as he cups my face and kisses me again with such passion and determination that I had never felt before.

I was melting under his touch and kisses, I wanted him to mark every piece of me, I wanted to give my all to him.

He plants kisses on my neck, then he trails to my chest and down to my belly. He then unhooks my bra, exposing my bare breasts. Thank goodness they made these things with the hook in front.

He gazes at me intensely, and heat travels all around my body and down to my legs.

"Dammit Isabella. You are not going to lose me." He says so positive in his words that I believe him. His big palms caresses and kneads my breasts, running his fingers against my nipples.

A gasp leaves my lips as he captures a nipple in his mouth. His tongue plays with my nipple, trailing it in a circular motion. Without stopping, he kneads my other breast, which fits perfectly under his big rough hand. His palm feels so warm on my skin.

I let out a soft moan, as I ran my hands through his hair, grabbing it and pulling it. He pinches the other nipple, eliciting a small scream out of me.

The next moments are spent with him giving my other breast the equal amount of pleasure as he sucks and licks the nipple like it was a tasty treat.

By the time Dimitri is done with me, I'm left begging for air. And only I knew that all this was just some kind of foreplay for him, I don't know if I'm going to survive whatever he had coming next.

But then as I look into those hazel orbs of his, I know we are nowhere close to finishing. There's no way I could stop the consuming desire burning in his eyes. I didn't want to, I felt much worse on the inside. I needed him to ease my worries, I needed him to assure me that nothing wrong was going to happen. That him and I would always stay like this forever, deeply in love till forever falls apart.

Dimitri leans down to me again and presses a hard kiss on my lips, pouring down all his craving for me, ravishing my lips.

His lips travel to the area between my breasts and to my stomach. He stops when he reaches my belly button where my lacy pant starts.

My heart thumps hard when he slowly pulls the pants lower and takes it off my feet. I am now completely naked in front of him.

Dimitri quickly unbuckles his belt, starting to take off his pants quickly. Then, without warning, he lifts my ass up and spreads my legs wide before ramming his long cock into me.

A loud gasp leaves my mouth as I feel his big dick throb inside of me and I just wrap my arms around him, my nails scratching his back tat as I scream out.

"Yes... my King..." I breathe.

He continued thrusting into me, the speed slowly accelerating faster and faster as he continued slamming into me deeper and deeper until his full length was finally able to get inside me.

He places soft kisses on my cheeks, lips and neck, our gasps mingling with each other, but we weren't done yet.

Surprisingly he straightens up, lifting my legs above his shoulders. The new position allows him to enter me deeper as he continues fucking me good, his balls knocking my slit with every single thrust.

I moan in ecstasy as he grabs my face closer and captures my lips in a messy but passionate kiss at the same time I can feel him empty his load inside me, filling me up completely, as I also reach my climax, cumming over his dick.

Both of us finally collapsed on the bed in exhaustion, as he cuddled me tight in his arms. I couldn't explain the peace I felt being in his arms like this. It was the greatest assurance that I could get, at moments like this when we become one, I knew that there's nothing strong enough that can come between us. It gave me a feeling of strength and hope.

I hear Dimitri begin to speak.

"I promise you Isabelle, there's no power of evil or darkness unknown that is strong enough to separate me from you. Not even death. This is my vow to you, my little witch." He said, intertwining his fingers in mine. And it's easy for me to believe him. I believe his words, whatever my visions meant I knew it wouldn't come through, because there wasn't any evil capable of tearing down this love we felt.

I place my head on his chest as we share the same breaths. We both slowly fall asleep in each other's arms.

This felt nice… I felt at peace. With every breath taken I slowly succumb to the Darkness.

***

Midnight fell even deeper, darkness had taken control of everything I could see and the air felt deadly still all around me. I could sense the Darkness within me rim to the surface.

My eyes looked over at the other side of the bed, where the lycan king was still soundly asleep, he was so vulnerable to me now, and just the thought of that made me grin wickedly.

The cheers and merriment coming from the ongoing celebration downstairs could be loudly heard. Their smiles, their laughters... Their joy.

If only they knew that the feeling of joy they felt would soon be snuffed out by me.

I stood up from the bed quietly, trying not to stir the lycan awake. I sauntered across to the window frame in my nakedness, staring out into the darkness of the night, feeling one with it. The darkness had overcome the sky.

The darkness looked beautiful.

There is a saying in the Santacruz family that goes... 'Kill a demon today, face the devil tomorrow'.

Yet even as we dance on that demon's grave we can't help but wonder was that demon alone or do you have other deadlier ones to fight.

And as we celebrate having won the battle, are you really prepared for the war coming?

I stared into the night sky, admiring the beauty of Darkness. It felt appealing, stoic and powerful.

The real truth is that Darkness is eternal, it can never truly die or fade away. Just as you can never truly cover the sun with one hand, so you can never really extinguish Darkness. It lingers and chases you even through the impossibility of death.

A long smile spreads across my lips, as darkness overtook my vision, casting a green glow in my eyes. A smile trails my lips as I hear Isabella screams intensify within me, but it was all in vain.

"The Darkness will bring all the light to the ground and then all that will remain is I… For I am the Darkness…" I say with a grin.
