HIS QUEEN novel Chapter 3

THIRD PERSON POINT OF VIEW

FOUR HUNDRED YEARS AGO-

He rolled in bed and reached for his mate. It was how he usually started his mornings. He frowned as he found an empty spot on his bed. He sat up in alarm. He reached for her in his mind but something was blocking him out. He got out of bed and raced out of the room. Her scent lingered in the hallway but it was faint.

He followed her scent down the stairs and into the kitchen. A smile graced his face as he saw his mate dancing as she prepared breakfast. He walked quietly to her and wrapped his arms around her. She leaned into him and he kissed the tip of her head.

"Stop leaving the bed before me" she turned so that she faced him.

"I wanted to give you breakfast in bed today" she pouted.

"I could have had breakfast between your legs." A blush covered her cheeks and she smacked his chest. He placed his lips against her own as they shared a kiss.

The maids looked on in awe as the King and Queen publicly displayed their affection for each other. The King rarely smiled except towards his loving mate or their pup. He lifted her into his arms, breakfast forgotten. He carried her into their bedroom and laid her on the bed. He peppered kisses on her neck. He was about to take off her dress when a knock sounded on the door. She pushed him off her and went to get the door.

"Good morning sister-in-law"

"Morning Eridian" he stepped into the room.

"Is your mate not keeping you busy enough that you have to disturb me so early in the morning"

"She is asleep. She is thoroughly exhausted from the pleasure I gave her at night. She will not be awake till late in the afternoon." He replied smugly. Thane threw a comforter at him.

"We have an important meeting in section 6 of the north" he left the room.

His mate, Catalina pouted at him. "I thought we were going to spend the day together?"

"We are. I won't take long" he kissed her lips and entered the bathroom. She was still seated on the bed when he came out. He gave her a long kiss.

"After this meeting you have me all to yourself" she nodded and he kissed her forehead. He went for his meeting and she went in search of her friend. She opened the doors and chuckled when she saw her friend sprawled on the bed. She jumped onto the bed and her friend woke with a start.
