Chapter 57
Tuesday 22nd September, 2020 (Continued)
Star’s POV
“Home?” I said apprehensively.
The Ice Moon Pack felt a bit like home to me. I knew I would have to go back to school eventually and I couldn’t leave my grandmother to fend for herself. I also had my adopted father’s will to think about. Harper’s adopted parents had a lawyer working on the case to prove Angie and her mom had stolen my inheritance. The will itself was some pretty solid evidence. I didn’t really know much about my Fae powers yet. I needed to know how to wield them well enough to break the curse. Harper also had to prove himself as Alpha once the Queen gave him a task. I had to be here for that to support him. He was my twin brother.
“There’s no rush,” I said softly.
“There is!” Insisted Noah.
“What do you mean?” I asked him, worry creeping up on me.
He paused for a long time during which my anxiety was mounting.
“I…Jamie called me,” he said.
“Really? Did she find Georgianna’s body?” I asked eagerly.
“Yes,” said Noah.
I squealed in excitement. I threw my arms around Noah’s neck. He hugged me back halfheartedly. I looked at him. His expression was unenthusiastic.
“Um…you’re not happy,” I stated. It wasn’t a question.
“No…Jessie and Jamie encountered Georgianna’s vengeful spirit when they want to find her…” said Noah.
I gasped. Panic set in. “Oh no! She didn’t hurt them, did she? Are they all right?” I asked worriedly.
Noah paused again. “She didn’t hurt them per say but she left a witch’s mark on Jessie…it looks kind of like a burn on his wrist,” said Noah with a sigh.
I listened with rapt attention. I nodded, prompting him to continue.
“If we don’t deliver Alto’s body to Georgianna’s resting place, she threatened to take Jessie instead,” said Noah.
“Oh!” I cried.
I felt sick. I was putting Jamie and Jessie through heartache and this was not even their curse to contend with.
“There’s something else…I…I thought it wasn’t fair for Jessie to have to sacrifice himself for us. It’s our curse to bear. My ancestor Oleander was a creep and we’re paying for it down to this day so I…I volunteered to take Jessie’s place if need be,” he mumbled.
My heart plummeted. I felt unsteady. There was a tightness in my throat and chest. I could not bring myself to speak. I understood why Noah had done that, reasoning that it was only fear as we had involved them in this mess. They had done nothing wrong. They had just tried to help us and now they had successfully found Georgianna’s body as promised while we had yet to excavate Alto’s body.
Noah looked strained. I had no idea what to say to him to remedy the situation. Instead of responding, I just pulled Noah to me, hugging him tightly. We stayed like that for quite a while, just holding each other, listening to the sounds of each other’s heartbeats.
Harper’s POV
I almost immediately regretted revealing Angie and her mother’s treachery to Jonah. We had found the will stating that Star was to inherit her adopted father’s fortune at the Plastique house. They were basically caught red-handed. However, I knew it was not my place to tell the Quads. I should have waited for Star to do it. I feared she never would though. I sighed. The Queen had summoned me to her chambers. A Fae servant led me to a room where she sat in front of a huge vanity, the surface of which was cluttered with beauty products. She had several ladies-in-waiting attending to her. One was combing and braiding her hair. Another was applying a face cream to her skin with a brush. A third was helping her to don her bejewelled slippers.
“You wanted to see me,” I said nonchalantly. I was standing behind her.
“Yes,” she said. “Are you ready for your task?” She asked, looking at my reflection in the mirror of her vanity.
“Naturally,” I said simply.
The Queen smirked. “What a cocky boy you are!” She exclaimed.
I was hardly a boy. I grumbled inwardly.
“As you and Princess Hannah are twins, you should be given similar tasks, should you not?” Said the Queen.
I shrugged. I knew she had something nasty up her sleeve but I wanted to get the task over with.
“Your sister tamed a dragon and so should you,” said the Queen.
“Haven?” I asked. He was already tame for the most part, at least, towards Hannah and me. He was more Hannah’s dragon than mine though.
“No, no, you need your very own dragon, don’t you?” She asked in a sickly sweet tone of voice.
“I suppose,” I said.
“So you shall tame a wild one and return with him or her to the Ice Moon Castle!” Said the Queen.
Zaya’s POV
After a really confusing day touring the castle with the emotional earring Erin and the grumpy one, Rein, I was anxious to see Star. I thanked Prince Asriel for showing me around. I went back to Star’s room only to find her sniffling, her eyes red and puffy. She had clearly been crying.
“Baby!” I said, rushing over to her. “What happened?”
“Nothing,” she said quickly, hugging me. “I’m fine,” she sniffed.
“You expect me to believe that?” I asked incredulously.Nôvel(D)rama.Org's content.
She frowned.
“Tell me!” I insisted.
She was silent.
“Star! Right now!” I demanded.
“I…it’s Noah…” she began.
“I’ll kill him!” I roared.
Star jumped. I was sick and tired of Noah and Jonah making our mate cry. It was their fault she had almost rejected us and they were still at it apparently.
“No, no!” Said Star. “It’s not like that! It’s not like that at all!” She squeaked.
“What’s it like then, Baby?” I asked exasperatedly. Was she protecting Noah even after he had made her cry yet again?
“Jamie called,” she said.
“Oh,” I said. That was not what I had been expecting her to start with.
“And what did she say?” I asked.
“They found Georgianna’s body,” she said.
“That’s great!” I said.
We were so close! Dad was on the job of finding Alto’s body today. We would surely break the curse soon.
“Um, well Georgianna put a witch’s mark on Jessie…on his wrist…” said Star.
I wasn’t sure what a witch’s mark was and how it differed from a wolf’s mark but I didn’t like the sound of it. It did not seem like a romantic thing or a desired thing at all.
“It’s an omen…Georgianna will take Jessie if we don’t deliver Alto to her soon,” said Star.
“Oh no,” I whispered.
My stomach lurched. Jessie and Jamie had done nothing but help us and we’d brought them nothing but misery.
“But…Noah promised Jamie he would take Jessie’s place if it came down to that,” said Star, tears streaming down her face.
My eyes widened. Noah would sacrifice himself in Jessie’s stead. I sat on the edge of the bed.
“We have to make sure Alto’s body gets to Georgianna then. That’s all,” I said.
Star nodded feebly. She sat next to me. Her hands were shaking. She was taking this really hard.
“Relax, Baby, it’ll be ok,” I told her.
I pulled her towards me, cradling her head against my chest. I kissed her forehead. She began to sob into my shirt.
“Shh, shh, Baby,” I cooed, kissing her forehead.
“Zaya,” she mumbled.
“It’s ok, Baby,” I whispered.
I wiped her tears away and kissed her cheeks.
“I don’t want to lose any of you,” said Star softly.
“We don’t want to lose you, either!” I said fiercely. “No one is going anywhere. I’ll make sure of it!”
She sniffled. I grasped her chin and tilted her face upwards so that our eyes met. I brushed my nose gently against hers. I pressed my lips to hers, kissing her softly. She moved her lips slowly against mine. She cupped my face and I gripped her waist. The k**s became more eager. I crushed her to me and she kissed me with abandon.
I broke away when I sensed she was getting breathless. I trailed k****s across her cheek and down from her ear to the marking sort at the base of her throat. She shivered and I held her closer. My teeth grazed her marking spot. I was on dangerous ground. I knew she could not be marked.
I pulled myself away from her marking spot and kissed my way down to her collar bone. My hands reached for the buttons of her blouse. My eyes searched her face for permission. She nuzzled me and pressed another k**s to my lips. I slowly unbuttoned her blouse kissing each inch of newly revealed skin until I reached her waist. I slipped the blouse off her shoulders. She was looking at me intently with darkened eyes.
I unhooked her bra, revealing her breasts. I could smell her excitement. She fumbled with the buttons of my shirt while I kneaded her breasts, moving my thumbs over her n*****s in a circular motion, watching them pebble and harden. She bit her l*p as my shirt came off. I stood up and dropped my pants. She leant forwards to k**s my torso. I hissed with pleasure as her hands squeezed the already rock-hard bulge in my boxers. She pulled my boxers down revealing my engorged member. I smirked at her as she kissed the skin just below my navel.
“Star,” I murmured, gazing down at her.
She kissed her way down. I knew where she was headed. I gripped her shoulders, stopping her.
“Star, you don’t have t…”
“I want to!” She said softly looking up at me with her big doe eyes.
I nodded. My stomach clenched in anticipation. She gripped my length needing both hands to do so and squeezed the shaft lightly. There was some pre-cum at the tip. She licked it off eagerly. I hissed in pleasure.
“Wait,” I breathed.
She looked up at me, frustration marring her beautiful features. I smirked at her.
“Let’s both have fun,” I suggested.
“This isn’t fun?” She asked, confused.
I chuckled at her incredulous tone.
“Stand up,” I commanded.
She didn’t have to obey me as my true Luna but Star was such a good girl she stood immediately anyway. I got on my knees. I slid her skirt and stockings down. She stepped out of them. I reached for her underwear. She bit her l*p, a little nervous about being totally exposed.
“You’re perfection, Baby, don’t you know that?” I told her.
She blushed. I slipped her underwear down and she stepped out of it. Her delicious scent hit me fully now. I breathed it in eagerly. I kissed the skin under her belly button as she had done to me, smirking against her skin. She giggled. We were both totally exposed now. I stood up and held her hand. I walked her over to the bed. I lay down and pulled her onto me, making her straddle my waist. I kissed her ravenously, my hands tangling in her hair and massaging her back. She kissed me back just as hungrily.
“Zaya,” she breathed as we parted.
“Turn around,” I instructed.
“Huh,” she said.
I chuckled.
“Are you defying me?” I growled playfully.
She hesitantly faced the other way so that her back was to me while she still straddled me. She glanced at me over her shoulder nervously. I smirked at her. I gripped her h**s and pulled her sharply towards me so that her p***y was closer to my face. She squeaked in surprise, blushing scarlet. After one broad lick to her folds that made her shiver she knew what I meant by both of us having fun. She leant forwards and adjusted herself, unfolding her flower to me a bit more. I felt her grip my huge member in her small hands again. She took me into her mouth an inch at a time. I g*****d as the pleasure coursed through me. I gripped her h**s more tightly and resumed my worship of her, lapping at her eagerly, parting her folds with each lick while she moved her mouth up and down my hard length. It was maddening, trying to focus on pleasuring her while she was pleasuring me. We swiftly entered a strange sort of competition, each one trying to distract the other by being as eager as possible.
I plunged my tongue into her entrance. I heard her m**n and felt the vibration of it against my member. I slipped a finger into her tight back opening, eliciting a squeal. She spluttered on my d**k. I smirked to myself. I moved her h**s back and forth, encouraging her to ride my face. I refused to lose this competition. I would make her come first.
I sucked on the tiny sensitive swollen bud, enjoying her taste. Her soft m***s and her sweet scent filled the room. I swirled my tongue round and round her clit while I slipped a finger into her entrance. She g*****d at the intrusion whilst taking as much of me in her mouth as she possibly could. My thighs were trembling . Her thighs began to quiver. I darted my tongue in and out of her. I added a second finger, testing her limits, stretching her a little. She whimpered as two of my fingers pumped her p***y. She moved against my fingers. I brought her very near to the edge, removing my fingers just as she was about to come.
She cried out, begging for a release. I kneaded her behind, squeezing the globes. She m****d. I could feel the vibration of every noise she made against my c**k. I plunged my tongue deep inside of her while sucking ravenously on her clit. I heard her muffled scream as she finally came. Her whole body shuddered. She rode out the waves of pleasure that crashed over her as she continued to suck my c**k eagerly. I grunted as I came, my c*m hitting the back of her throat. I heard the sound of her swallowing my essence followed by a pop as she removed my throbbing d**k from her mouth. We were both panting. I had not gotten to watch her c*m though. I needed a different vantage point.
I lifted her off of me. I got on my knees.
“Lay back,” I said to her, still breathless.
She did as she was told. I parted her thighs again. She was soaking wet. I slipped three fingers into her entrance eliciting a g***n from her. I pumped her p***y with my fingers, in and out, faster and faster while I thumbed her clit. I bent my head to suck on her swollen little bud again after which I took her whole vulva into my mouth. Her fingers tangled in my hair. She was making a series of unintelligible little noises that were driving me crazy. Her hands gripped my hair in such a way that I could not tell if she was trying to draw the source of the intense pleasure to her or push it away. I sucked harder on her swollen little bud and quickened the pace of my fingers until she was moaning, arching her back and rocking her h**s against my face. I did not let up until she came again, crying out. She was shaking. Her skin flushed.
“Zaya,” she whimpered.
“One more time,” I whispered, kissing her wet folds.
I repeated my sweet torture of her p***y until I had her screaming and shaking again. I kissed her inner thighs while she came back down to earth. Her eyes were half-closed. I waited for her breathing and heart rate to slow. I pressed my lips to hers and snaked my tongue into her mouth so that she could taste her own sweetness. We held each other, eyes locked, noses brushing together. I wished I could freeze time and make this moment last forever but even an eternity with Star would not be enough for me. That was my last thought before sleep took us and swept us away.
