Fie Wright's P. O. V

"Come 'ere big boy and give mama some sweet loving," I slur out, trying to kiss the taller than ever man as I stand on my tiptoes to place a big sloppy kiss on his lips.

"I know you want me." I continue but stop momentarily with a frown as he tilts his head up and away from my pouting lips. Not liking the distance between my lips and his, I take a few steps back and try to get a head start with a fast sprint. Malleus stands stock still and doesn't even try to move as I stumble over my own bare feet but manage to right myself at the last moment and then lunge myself at him. No movements are made from his side again as I start to climb up his body, my legs wrapped around his lower legs as I try to hoist myself upwards.

"You're going to hurt yourself Fie." Malleus tuts as he deftly unwinds my limbs curling around him like an infant around its monkey mother. I barely register what he's doing and before I know it, my body bounces against the cushiony surface of the mattress to my bed.

"Kinky." I say with a mischievous grin while I try to settle my body into a seductive pose. "M-," I cut myself off and spit out the hair in my mouth, getting rid of the many strands that are hanging in front of my face. With the obstruction now away and not obscuring my vision, the sight of a smirking Malleus greets me causing me to drop back down onto the bed as I fan myself.

"Come to mama." I say with a toothy grin, a wolf whistle leaving my lips while Malleus sighs and turns around, heading in the direction of my dresser where I presume he's getting my pyjamas.

Oooh. Is he going to undress me?

"You have been referring to yourself as 'mama' too much. Please don't tell me you have a mommy kink." He mumbles the last few words but I just about catch them and let out a derisive snort.

"No but if you want; I can call you daddy." My voice this time tries to come out a little heavier and husky to speak in that way I've heard some women do on television when they do dirty talk, instead I sound like I'm imitating a man. Nonetheless, Malleus stumbles a bit and nearly drops the clothes on the floor. He avoids eye contact with me and mutters an almost unidentifiable, 'fuck me.'

"Gladly. I'm right here for you to take." I say with a gleeful smile, throwing myself back onto the bed with my arms above my head and my dress clad legs open as an offering.

"Yes I'd rather not assault a woman right now." He grumbles under his breath smile hesitantly nearing a pouty me.

"But I'm saying yes baby." I coo to the man who motions for me to sit up and lift my arms. I follow his request and watch as he realises I'm wearing a dress that can't be shrugged off over my shoulders.

"Right now yes doesn't mean yes Fie. I know that even as your mate," he says with a sigh before hoisting me up and onto my shaky legs as he unzips my dress. I let the fabric drop to the ground, almost begging the man to take a look but his eyes stay focused on mine as he tugs the shirt over my head and then bending down while solely looking at the fabric of the loose bottoms in his hand.

"Would you like it if I go commando next time?" I lean down and whisper the words, licking the shell of his ear and giving him a subtle bite. I smirk in victory when he jumps up quickly and looks away with blushing cheeks.

"Get in bed Fie. I'll go get you a glass of water and some medicine in case you have a headache tomorrow. I'll make your dad or mom stay with you for a bit so they can look after you till you fall asleep." He says and tries to leave but I latch on to him.

"B-but I want you to stay with me." I mumble while hugging his arm to my chest. Malleus lets out another sigh as he bends down and tucks the sheets around me, placing a soft lingering kiss on my forehead.

"I want to stay with you too my mate but I can't. I need to go on another run to calm myself and my wolf down. I'll be back as soon as I know I'm in control of myself and that you're safe from me alright? It's already difficult for me to even be in a position where I have to worry about me not hurting my mate." His sad tone registers in my drunk and hazy mind as my heart strings tug at each other.

I don't want to see him upset.

He takes my silence as confirmation and bends down once more to place a chaste kiss on my forehead and even though I desperately want to tilt my head up to feel his mouth on mine, one part of me knows that's not something I can do right now. The next thing I know, Malleus is out the door and my mother is entering it with a soft smile on her lips and a glass of water in hand

"Oh my poor baby. I know exactly how you feel." She coos as she nears the bed before dropping down on it and starts petting my head.

"What do you mean?" I question with confused eyes as she places the glass down on the bedside table.

"You've got the whole horny drunk self from me of course. Oh the trouble I'd get into with your father when I'd try to seduce him." The woman erupts into soft giggles as a warm blush invades her cheeks.

A shiver runs through me while I lean over the bed and gag.

"I think I'm going to be sick."

********

Each heavy thump down the wooden stairs ricochets through my brain like a hammer pounding into a crooked nail at high speeds. My fluffy sock clad feet do little to nullify the loud stomps even though that was the exact purpose of me wearing them, trust me, I feel anything but cold to be wearing the suffocating wool that I just want to rip apart with my bare hands.

Oh God.

How petty am I? I'm taking out my anger on a pair of fluffy blue socks decorated with a smattering of unicorns and butterflies in an assortment of pinks and yellows. I guess the raging headache I'm currently sporting sees no qualms in winding the rest of me up like a child getting annoyed at the simplest of things.

This time its me. I'm the child.

Wrinkling my nose up at the smell of fried eggs and greasy bacon permeating through the air, I, nonetheless, smile as another distinct scent greets me though this one settles my rolling stomach and doesn't make me feel like I'm about to throw every reminiscent of food that has entered my body since I was a child. Descending down the stairs is like an entire journey in itself after my trek from the bed to the bathroom when I had managed to find some sort of willpower to fix myself up since my mate would be greeting me downstairs. Unluckily, I only gathered the strength to wash my face and brush my teeth and left the rest to fate. If Malleus truly loves me, he should think I look like a gosh darn queen in this state as well as my done up one.

Descending down from the last step, a soft smile makes its way onto my face as I let myself fall forward into a soft cozy body, their bodily warmth causing me to snuggle into them while I nuzzle my face into the soft fabric of the jumper they've thrown on. The mornings are starting to get chilly and no one is allowed to walk inside the house without another layer of fabric covering them from the nip in the air. Not as long as my mother is around. I guess the same extends to Malleus, even if he is our King.

"You feeling okay?" He questions in a quiet tone to which I nod albeit a bit grumpily. The aroma wafting up from his body is almost mouth watering and I can't help but be happy that fate works in such ways that even our mate's smell is designed to keep us at bay.

"Got a good sniff there?" He asks with a soft chuckle while I part from him only to throw my hands up in the air. Malleus immediately gets what I mean as he places both hands on my hips and hoists me up, my legs locking around his waist while I nuzzle my face into the crook of his neck and his own hands darting down to rest just above my backside.

"I don't want to separate from you so if you feel awkward you'll have to deal with it or I'll throw up on you." I threat lamely and of course, Malleus pays it no heed as he places a kiss on the crown of my head before taking me to the kitchen where my parents are pretending not to listen in on our conversation. The beaming smile and the nudge my mother gives my father is supposed to be inconspicuous but the loud 'oof' that leaves my father and has no one batting an eye at their obvious eavesdropping.

"How are you doing sweetie?" My mom coo's at me while I groan aloud in response, chuckles leaving my parents as Malleus sits on the bar stool with me still in his lap. The hint of grease in the air hits my nose which leads me to cuddle further into the large man while I tighten my jaw.

Contrary to my threats, there's no way in hell I'm throwing up on him. I'm sure I embarrassed myself more than enough last night.

"Do you remember anything from last night, Fie? Or is it a blank like it usually is?" This time my father questions me and the hint of amusement in his tone has me stiffening up while I squint my already closed eyes, trying to get the fogginess away from my clogged up memories so that I can replay the events of last night.

'Daddy.'

Malleus who was pouring coffee rather awkwardly into the huge mug, jerks at the last moment while I go completely red in the face.

Oh God.

I just said that through the mind link.

Please tell me only Malleus heard that and not my parents as well.

I don't know which is worse.

Oh sweet sweet ground. Open up and just swallow me whole right now.

I wait for a few seconds as Malleus uncomfortably clears his throat before resuming his actions while no other intrusions occur. I'm guessing from the lack of my father falling onto his knees and no rosary being pulled out while he simultaneously tries to shank my mate with the big knife right next to him, I'd say it's safe to bet no one heard that except my mate. Thank goodness we were the only two in the house when I was being my obviously horny self and that they entered just as Malleus graciously changed my clothes.

I swear, if it's possible to have even more intense feelings as much as I have for Malleus; I might just have to think that I'm in love with him.

But that's too soon. Yes I'm ignoring the fact we're wolves that are literally destined for each other.

I'm not about to let some bond tell me how to feel.

Oh but I feel so so good.

Clearing my mind of all silly and trivial thoughts, I start to listen in on my parents conversation with Malleus as they discuss one thing or another while they finish up on the last remnants of their breakfast. The topic of their chattering goes from all the way to life in Tenebris, what it's like to have Kingly duties with everyone out to demean and criticize every other move you make, and lastly, to the events that occurred last night from Luna Aria being reintroduced to everyone after the whole sordid ordeal and then to me acting like a sex starved maniac in front of everyone. Not only do I feel embarrassed for myself but also the fact that Malleus also probably felt a teeny bit embarrassed with the way I practically throw myself at him while slurring words that sounded sultry to my own ears but cringe worthy to everyone else in the vicinity.

"Why don't we all focus on other things that have happened since Malleus and I have come back to the Pack?" My desperation to change the topic from my earlier discrepancies seem to do the trick as we move on to how long Malleus and I will be staying here for before the both of us have to head back to the Palace.

The question has all eyes landing on my mate though the act is a bit difficult for me since I have to prop myself to lean back but as soon as I do, the smells of food attack me just as fast causing me to grunt aloud as I settle myself somewhat in a position where I can see my mate but also close enough for his scent to calm me down. "Well, preferably I'd have liked to stay as long as Fie feels comfortable enough to head back to the Other Realm, however, that would be in a perfect world and is highly improbable for us right now, especially with word going around that I've found my mate and Queen. I would say we'd be able to stay comfortably till the end of the week before my advisors hail us back home."

The not so subtle clearing of a throat has me jumping backwards and nearly falling out of Malleus' grasp but luckily I clutch onto the man's shoulders while simultaneously throwing a nasty glare at the intruder inside of our house.

"I know you're all secretly fangirling as to why the one and only Ezra Strauss is humbling himself to allow you all to relish yourselves in his presence. A king amongst you lowly beings-," His words of self praise gets cut off by a chorus of snorts rising up from everyone in the room.

"You do realise that I am literally your King." Malleus informs with furrowed brows but Ezra simply brushes the man off.

"I could take you down right here and now both physically and intellectually boy, don't go around sprouting utter nonsense." My father inputs with a silent huff while my mother erupts into laughter, my own smile flitting onto my face.

"Dad, even Henry can challenge him intellectually." I inform with a smug tone as my father glances over at me before realisation dawns on his face at the remembrance of the old pack dog. The poor old bloodhound lives happily in the pack house going from one room to the next, not particular about his lodgings and food for the day but as long as he has somewhere comfy to sleep. That's all the poor thing does. Henry is surprisingly not very smart for a dog ad ends up doing the stupidest things which winds him up in the most precarious of situations but the entire pack loves the dawdling dog and no one has the heart to shower him with anything but praise.

"I take offense to that but I am not here to discuss such trivial matters. Malleus my good friend," a compulsory grunt of disbelief leaving Malleus, "I have been thinking long and hard ever since we came back to the pack and I have finally come to the decision that I will be accompanying both you and Fie back to Tenebris. I am confident that I can learn much more about the role of being an Advisor but that's just the minor parts. I mean I'll be leaving in a damn castle and I'll be treated like royalty. That is the life!" Ezra ends with a beaming smile while placing his hands on his hips at the last word. Malleus continues the shaking of his head that started as soon as the words left my cousin's mouth.

"Absolutely not." Malleus says with finality, making a move to sit up and depositing me on the tiled floor while I pout at the action before schooling my features once I catch sight of my mother glancing at me in amusement.

"You will stay far away from Fie and I. I will have a mental breakdown if you decide to tag along because I know the stupid messes you'll be getting involved in." My father appears to be in complete agreement but I, myself, glance at Ezra and notice the hint of serious that coats his eyes which slowly starts to turn to a deep hidden panic.

"You're hiding something," I muse with a pointed finger directed at a now wide eyed Ezra, "Spill it and I might tell Malleus to let you tag along with us."

"I-" Malleus goes to correct me but thinks twice as he spreads his arm out for me to continue since nearly everyone knows by now that he'll most definitely listen when I ask him to do something for me. Even if it concerns Ezra of all people.

Ezra sighs in defeat, glancing from me to Malleus, to my parents and then back again, "I have this weird feeling. It started up a few days after we set foot into the castle. It was this weird desperation and I thought maybe it was my wolf's reaction to being away from the pack for so long but it's gotten even worse since we've come here." This time the desperation is clear to hear for everyone as we look on in plain confusion.

"You sensed your mate and didn't even realise it?" I ask in disbelief while Ezra goes into visible shock, mouth parted and body stock still.

"You didn't either." Malleus inputs offhandedly which I decide to ignore.

"My mate?" Ezra whispers in absolute awe. I start to get worried as he stays silent, not much of a reaction from someone who's been pining for their mate from the get go ever since they knew the concept of mates even existed. "Holy shit! I'm ready to go back right now." He exclaims in excitement while I grin at the energy that flows back into him.

"Sorry for the sudden jerk back down to reality but we're staying here for a few more days. I still need to talk to Aria." My last words come out barely audible but that doesn't spare me from the saddened looks my parents through my way.

"Well get going then. I just saw her chilling alone and trying to pick a movie to watch, trying to catch up with what she's missed although it was only three months but eh, to each their own." As soon as Ezra finishes what he's saying, I go to object but one look from everyone in the room has me squirming in defeat. Even Malleus nudges me in encouragement to go meet my Luna.

Although my mate doesn't know the entire story, I guess he still knows I need to get this guilt off of my chest.

"Fine. Fine. I'll go get ready and then meet Aria." I say with an exhale to which everyone nods.

"That's great. Malleus and I will have some bro time to ourselves." Ezra says with a kind smile but I know for a fact they're going to torment each other. Before anyone can say anything else, I'm rushing out of the kitchen and up to my room.

I'm not changing my mind this time.
