The Silent Luna's Trial (Maple and Finn) novel Chapter 42

Chapter 13

Alpha King Julian’s Perspective

The birthday festivities had finally drawn to a close, leaving a quiet stillness in their wake.

After reconnecting with Alpha Dorian, Luna Camilla, Breck, and my new mate, Alexia, I found myself nestled beside her in the soft glow of her bedroom. The warmth of the room wrapped around us like a sanctuary.

She never ceased to astonish me—truly, she embodied the essence of the Golden Wolf.

Her parents had given us their heartfelt blessing, their approval a quiet but powerful endorsement of our bond.

From the very beginning, her father had sensed that she belonged to me. It was why he had gently encouraged her to come to the palace, under the guise of training the she-wolves, guiding her toward her destiny.

She stirred, attempting to rise, but I caught her hand, curiosity piqued by her sudden movement.

Leading me to the ensuite bathroom, she invited me to join her for a bubble bath.

I couldn’t have imagined that my usually shy mate possessed such a playful, enticing side.

We soaked in the warm water, the bubbles swirling around us as we shared quiet, intimate conversation that deepened our connection.

Eventually, we returned to her spacious king-sized bed.

I wore nothing but my boxers; she was dressed simply in a tank top and a pair of booty shorts.

Her long caramel legs stretched out before me, her curves accentuated by the soft fabric. The sight stirred a fierce hunger inside me—I longed to claim her, to mark her as mine.

Yet, a flicker of doubt crossed my mind—was she truly ready for that step?

We had both chosen to save ourselves for our mates. Tonight, we would become each other’s first.

Drawing her close, I pressed my lips to hers in a kiss full of passion and promise.

Her hand traced a slow, teasing path over me, and I whispered against her mouth, “Careful, kitten. Are you sure you’re ready for this?”
