ROMANCE: The Lion's Chosen Mate (Paranormal Lion Shapeshifter New Adult Contemporary Romance) (Shapeshifter Mystery Alpha Lion Romance)

by Ann Evans

  Tara blushed again. It looked like it would be one of those days which she would never forget. There were too many amazing memories. To find someone who could compliment you day and night and who could sing you songs of love and see the best in you.

  The world is often a cruel place and we spend a large part of our life drifting apart and not caring about those who stand by us. Ralph made Tara realize that it is upon her to make her life count. She had been happy, but there was emptiness in her life, a kind of emptiness that had made her heart ache for a body.

  She knew it wasn’t just sex because she has had some amazing sex before too, but to find someone who could conjure a magic in your heart was something she hadn't experienced before. She knew some of the best spells which could make partners horny and give them an out of the box sexual drive, but she didn’t have to play any of this charm.

  “What do you think about the union of a werewolf and a witch? Do you think we make a good pair?” she asked Ralph.

  “What makes you ask that? I think love is powerful mad magical and it doesn’t follow the realms of the background of a person.”

  “My mom was a witch and she had fallen in love with a werewolf. Their love was extremely POSEIDONate and even today; she had set the highest standard for love. They were literally conjoined between a single soul, and were inseparable. I come from some very high standard of love and I wonder if we can live up to that!”

  “You don’t need to set any bar or surpass anyone. Our love will be epic for us and I think that is all that matters.”

  Tara hugged him and pressed her soft body against his hardness. She loved Ralph to pieces. It was as if he was someone who was crafted with perfection in mind. There wasn’t one wrong thing about him. She wanted to hold onto him and never let him go, no matter how hard life may get.

  They stayed like that for a long time, talking about the lives they had and the things they would like to do. They spoke about a lot of mundane things and even how they perceived humans.

  As it was time to get up, Ralph seamlessly converted back to his wolf form as it would speed up his healing process. Ralph, the wolf, looked at Tara and signaled. As a witch, she could make out what he meant and she sat on his body. The wolf was enormous and his body was pulsing. She let her hands roam over his thick black fur and the touch of Tara’s finger made him give a soft moan. It wasn't the howl of a wolf, but the sound of someone touched POSEIDONately by love.

  Tara softly planted a kiss on his thick fur and licked the places where there were marks of his wounds. Her magical saliva on the tongue savored the skin and Tara wanted to envelop her body with the wolf. She clasped his back tight and lied down on his back letting her vagina touch the thick fur.

  Ralph kept moaning and purring like a little cat and Tara loved the way his body was reacting to her touch.

  He slowly went inside her little home and she got down from his body. She helped him get on the bed and then draped a blanket over him while kissing him on the forehead. She used her witchcraft skills to let him sleep easily and then slept beside him, still naked and wanting his body.

  A month passed like this. They developed a routine of their own. Ralph had healed completely and could make easy and quick transitions. He used to go out in the morning as a human and he even picked a part time job. Tara went on doing her usual chores and they both came back home early evening wherein they used to make love and defy the rules of nature with their incredible orgasms. Tara’s face glowed like she was the fucking sun every time Ralph made her come.

  Life looked perfect and there was nothing that seemed to be wrong. However, Tara often felt a little restless and she was anxious most of the times.

  “Ralph, promise me you will be careful.”

  “Why do you always tell me this? What gets you so worried?”

  “As a witch, we can sense energy in a psychic way. I can sense some forewarning, even though I am not fully trained to see what these events will be. But, I can sense negativity in the air. I fear there is something about to happen which doesn’t look to be very rosy.”

  “Don’t worry babe. I have you. I am healed now. Nothing would happen to me. Stop worrying so much. You should smile. I love the way your face lights up. It makes my life complete.”

  “You are such a poet.”

  “Didn't you hear of the saying that 'at the touch of love, everyone becomes a poet.’?”

  “Damn you, making me mushy early in the morning. I want to shag you right now.”

  “I am at your service, ma’am.”

  Tara laughed and then pressed her body against him. He stole some endless kisses and traveled from her lips to her breast and sucked them even without undressing her. He let his fingers roam over the breast and started rubbing them fervently. She could feel them getting erected. He didn’t even need to touch her skin to skin to arouse her. Ralph knew all the secrets of her body and he truly worshiped her body in a way no one else could.

  He then pushed his hand beneath her short skirt and found that she hadn’t worn any panties.

  “Mmm, so someone is feeling really naughty. You had already planned to seduce me, didn’t you?”

  “I figured it would be a great way to begin my day.”

  Ralph let his fingers stay over her wet flesh and he played a symphony on the soft tissue. He didn't push his fingers inside but kept drawing little circles on the soft flesh. He could see how wet Tara already was and Tara kept moaning a little louder every time.

  “I haven’t even fingered you yet. Baby, you get turned on by just my touch.”

  “Oh God, Ralph I am about to come.”

  “Not so soon babe.”

  He slowly pushed his finger into her hole and then roamed freely. He parted her thighs and sat on the floor, stealing a look. He unzipped her skirt and it fell to the floor and then he pressed a kiss on her vagina. The moment his lips touched her soft flesh, she screamed his name and he loved it.

  He licked the insides of her thigh and then started traveling upwards and then allowed his tongue to do the trick. When he felt like he had prepared her enough, he unzipped his pant enough to slide out his dick and then without saying another word, he pushed inside her.

  Her hole had dilated enough to welcome his dick and he kept pushing harder and deeper. Both of them were moaning in delight and as Ralph pushed harder one more time. They climaxed together and he filled her completely as the orgasm shattered their body.

  “You are magic,” they said to each other.

  “How I am ever going to concentrate on my work today?”

  “If you want, I can fuck you on your office table too. I know some wicked cool moves on the desk. Tonight, when you come back home, I will do you on the kitchen top and holy God, you will be left wondering why we didn’t do it this way for so long.”

  Tara smiled and pulled his lower lip with a steaming hot kiss.

  “Challenge accepted Mister. Now dress me up and put on my panties as I leave for work.”

  “The slave is all yours. This is the kind of work I would happily volunteer for. He opened her drawer and got her red lacy panties and let his fingers roam through its length. There was something erotic about having his fingers breeze through her lacy inners. He then put them on and then slowly zipped her skirt, but made sure to tease her soft spots and play with them a little making Tara moan again.

  Tara didn’t want to leave and wondered if she should ask for a holiday. The urge to fuck Ralph was getting stronger and there was some kind of a different shift in energy in the air too.

  As she was toying with the idea of calling in sick, there was a ring at the door. She looked at the door and wondered who it would be.

  “Get your hair done and I will check the door. Your hair is all messy and shows that you have been laid.”

  Tara smiled as Ralph went outside to check who was at her door.

  The moment he opened the door, Tara was alarmed as she felt the whole place to be enveloped by a dark energy. She quick
ly moved to the door and found an enormously huge man waiting there.

  “Who is he Ralph?”

  “He is Matt, the ex-alpha of my pack.”

  “You had a pack, Ralph? I thought you were a lone wolf.”

  “No, Tara I wasn’t a lone wolf. I had been separated from my pack.”

  Matt looked at the two of them exchange greetings and he gave a look of disgust to Tara.

  “How could you do this Ralph? You have been called by Andre. You need to leave now.”

  “I can’t go Matt. This is my life - I chose this life. I can’t be anywhere else.”

  “Ralph, you have not been given a choice. Andre had summoned you. You need to know that the pack needs you. The hunters were in huge numbers. Dimitry has been killed and Alex is badly injured. The pack needs to unite and be together. Every link is crucial or else the pack lacks safety. We have identified the hunters and they might come back again for the attack.”

  “I understand and you know I would do anything for the pack. But, I can't leave Tara behind. She is the reason I am alive. I chose her.”

  Tara heard his words and she felt like she could die of the love. This was a man who was fighting with his own pack members for her. What did she ever do to deserve so much love?

  “Ralph, your pack needs you.”

  “Tara, but how can I leave you? Going to the pack means I don’t know if I will ever be back. You know how it is with the werewolves, isn’t it?”

  Matt looked at Ralph in horror.

  “You can’t do this Ralph. You revealed all the secrets to a woman. You know the pack of a werewolf is sacred and you are not permitted to tell anything to a non –werewolf. You have betrayed the trust of your pack. You have let us down, you will not be forgiven. You need to leave now.”

  “It is not what you think” Ralph tried to explain but Matt was furious.

  Tara gestured Ralph not to argue and said, “Matt, Ralph will go with you, but I am going to come with him too. As a werewolf, you should already know how strong the power of love is. You can never win by breaking a bond of true love. Let me come with the two of you. I hold the responsibility for whatever happens to me.”

  “Wolves don’t let humans in. You will be shred to pieces in no time, you foolish woman” Matt said.

  Tara smiled and said, “If this is the cost of love, I am willing to accept my fate.”

  Ralph didn’t want to subject Tara to the wrath of the wolves. He knew that the outcome won’t be any good, but he was in helpless position. He knew he would have to visit Andre and if he had Tara by his side and he could demonstrate their true love, there was a chance that the pack would leave the two of them. He was torn amidst the desire to keep Tara safe and to stay together with her. He couldn’t understand what was right and what was not.

  He was tired of the oscillating thoughts in his mind and was looking to seek a solution when he found a hand on his shoulder.

  “Don’t you trust me, darling?” Tara said.

  There was a hypnotizing power in her eyes and Ralph knew that Tara was using her magic and he was being charmed, but he succumbed to her magic and nodded. He wished that everything fell into place because the mere thought of losing Tara was making his heart break in a million pieces.

  The three of them reached the holy land of the wolves. There were a total of nineteen wolves waiting and the moment Matt entered the territory, he gave in a loud howl. He turned back to see if Tara was scared, but she gently smiled which made Matt angry. He had howled to scare her off, but he had no clue to know that she was a paranormal being too.

  She knew that Matt was getting on the edge, but she knew what she had to do. She had to win over the pack and she was determined to fight for her love. It wouldn't be an easy battle, but she won’t let it go away either.

  As they entered inside the pack, the wolves looked hungrily at Tara. Ralph stood in front of her and took her hands. This was a sign of claiming his territory and he could see how Andre recoiled at the sight.

  “Ralph, where had you been? You made no attempt to connect with your pack?” Andre said with an anger filled voice.

  “I was terribly injured and close to dying. I would have died had it not been for Tara. I owe my life to her. She saved me and brought me back from the clutches of death. I love her,” Ralph said confidently.

  “Bullshit. This can’t happen. Do you know who the hunters were? They were humans. One of them was Dimitry’s friend and he was the one who betrayed us. Humans will always betray the wolves. They can never be yours. You are making the same mistake as Dimitry did. Humans have always been the reason for the loss of the werewolves. You can’t love her.”

  Tara touched Ralph’s hand and emerged from his shadow. “Isn’t love supposed to be the truest magic known to any species – be it the wolves, witches, vampires or even humans? Alahara decartona ramiasa” she said and Andre was stunned to silence.

  “Who are you, young lady?” Andre asked in disbelief.

  Ralph too couldn’t understand what had happened as Andre bowed down in front of Tara.

  She uttered some other words in a language none of them could understand. Ralph wondered if she had cast a spell on Andre, but he knew that Tara would never use the magic in a wrong way. She would never dare to hypnotize the alpha of a wolf pack. But there was no explanation for the way Andre was reacting to Tara’s words.

  After a long conversation that went on for quite some time, Andre gave in a loud howl and welcomed Tara to the pack. He turned around to face the pack and said, “Welcome Tara to the pack. She is the daughter of Samirah, the elder wolf-witch and deserves our respect. No one here will disobey any of her commands and we must treat her with love and respect. Ralph, you are a lucky man to have found the love of the royal witch.”

  Ralph couldn’t quite understand the whole thing. He had been with Tara for so long, but she had never once brought up her royal lineage.

  She understood Ralph’s confusion and said, “I always thought you were a lone wolf and hadn’t found your pack yet. In our witch customs, it is considered rude to ask someone of their pack time and again and to boast of your lineage. Samirah was my mother and she was married to Aguilera, the lord of the werewolves. I am their daughter.”

  Ralph was amazed and saw how quickly the whole clan accepted her. He was delighted beyond words and he was even more touched by the kindness of her heart.

  “I don’t even believe my luck as to how I stumbled upon you. You are a royal witch. Take my regards and respect, lady.”

  “Come on, Ralph. I am still your Tara. My lineage and royal blood do not make me any different. I had chosen you for who you are and nothing changes between us. I am glad that your pack is also accepting me.”

  She turned to the pack and said, “I don’t stay with my royal family. I stay alone and I have been practicing witchcraft for quite some time now. I am in love with Ralph and he loves me too. We made a life for each other and I know everything about the werewolves even before he told me. I would never betray any of you and I will impart a spell to strengthen the ties and it will help you be safe.

  I would like to stay with Ralph and be with him for the rest of my life. However, the whole clan is invited to come to our home and socialize whenever you want to. I am willing to be a part of your pack too if you all agree to it. The combination of a witch and werewolf is extremely powerful and I can call my mates and help them strengthen the tie too so you could put a fight with the hunters.”

  Andre smiled and bowed down again. “We are glad to have your support highness. When we have you by our side, we do not need to fear anything or anyone. You don’t need to seek any permission and you are free to do whatever you want. Ralph can stay with you and come and join us whenever he wants to.

  We will need your blessings as we will try to fight the hunters. I am sorry for all the trouble you had to face.”

  They spoke for some more time as Tara explained the details of her plan to strengthen the ties. Andre liste
ned with rapt attention and agreed to her points. Once they had settled on everything, Ralph and Tara decided to go back to their home.

  “You are a royal witch. Why did you choose an ordinary wolf like me, Tara? You even thought I was a lone wolf and you know how loners are looked down upon. You still didn’t flinch from picking me. Why?”

  “Darling love doesn’t follow logic. If I chose you for your royal lineage or for your blood type, it wouldn't be love. When you love someone, you do so because they make your heart sing a song which you have never heard before and yet can’t stop humming. When you love someone, you see the best in them. Even when they get on your nerves, you can’t stop admiring them for who they are. I didn’t care if you were a lone wolf or a royal wolf, all I cared was the way you made me feel and how your kiss awoken my senses. I knew in a crowd full of people, my heart would always find you and call it the perfect home.”

  Ralph looked in her deep blue eyes and he could see his reflection and how he belonged there. Yes, he felt like he had finally found his home. It is wrong to believe that a pack completes a werewolf. No matter who you are, whether you are a wolf, a witch or even a human, it is love and love alone that has the power to complete a person and give meaning to his/her life.

  As the sun set in the backdrop, Ralph kissed Tara and he knew that he would happily kiss her all his life. He had found a reason to love and he promised to make love to her every morning on waking up and every night before heading to bed.

  “Are you still going to keep your promise” Tara winked.

  “The kitchen counter sex?”

  “Of course!”

  “You bet!”

  The moment they entered their home, Ralph hungrily leaped on her body and undressed her by ripping her fabric apart. He wasted no time and got her undressed and then started gobbling her big breasts. He then carried her on her lap and placed her on the kitchen counter. The kitchen counter table was cold, but she felt all kinds of hot with Ralph’s body pressed to her.
