Astrid swallowed hard at his words; that man was really about to take advantage of her. That was abuse—she didn't want to lose her virginity like this, with a stranger and in such a place.
- I don't want to! – She shouted\, slapping him\, but it still didn’t make the king stop.
The king grabbed both her hands and lifted them above her head; his blurred vision barely allowed him to see her face. He knew what he was doing wasn’t right, but he couldn’t control himself. He positioned himself between her legs, brushing against her most intimate areas.
Astrid let out an involuntary moan at the touch; her body burned uncontrollably.
The king could hold back no longer and thrust into her with a single stroke. Though he wanted to be gentle, his wild desire prevented it; being inside her, feeling her tightness began driving him crazy. He moved roughly, and Astrid's moans turned to ones of pain. She wasn’t enjoying her first time at all.
- Stupid… you said you would be gentle – she growled.
- I'm trying – the king grunted\, striving to control his movements.
Astrid began to forget the pain; her body adjusted to the size of this stranger, and she started to enjoy it. The roughness of his movements began to give her a burning pleasure, a desire for more. Her moans transformed, no longer filled with pain; passion had opened within her. She wrapped her legs around his waist and began to move in tandem with him.
The king savored each thrust, entering and exiting her had become the greatest pleasure he'd ever felt.
That night, the Moon witnessed that moment; Astrid had lost her virginity to this stranger, who was her king, Lycan.
The king couldn’t see her face fully, but he had a slight suspicion of who she was. So once he satisfied his hunger for her, he would take responsibility; she, though not his destined mate, would become his Luna. He had already decided this, and it seemed his lycan side didn’t mind, for she was giving him the greatest pleasure and fully satisfying his sexual appetite.
But neither of them imagined that destiny had other plans for them, and after that night, they wouldn’t see each other for a long time.
************************
Four years later
Astrid woke up with a pounding headache; she had slept very few hours, but that wasn’t important. She had much to do that day, including working since she needed money to pay for rent and food, not for herself, but for someone special.
- Mommy! – shouted a small boy of about four years old\, with black hair and blue eyes just like hers.
- Good morning\, my pup – Astrid said\, wrapping her arms around the little one\, the fruit of that intense night by the lake. - What do you want for breakfast? – she asked\, giving him a couple of kisses on his rosy cheeks.
- Pancakes – he said with laughter – Mommy\, I love you so much – the little boy said again\, hugging her.
- And I love you – she replied\, returning the embrace.
After that night, Astrid had fled from that man without even seeing his face; she didn’t care. When she returned home, her parents could sense a man’s scent on her. It only got worse when they saw that Leandro was there; he rejected and condemned her, immediately banishing her from the pack.
Her parents, unable to help her, gave her their savings so she could travel to a distant aunt’s home. But Astrid didn’t do that. She decided that the best course was to distance herself from everyone, so she settled in a small city with humans. Time passed, and she realized she was pregnant.
The news took her by surprise; the savings her parents had given her wouldn’t last forever. For a moment, she considered aborting, but she regretted it while in the operating room. That little one wasn’t to blame for how he was conceived, and now she didn’t regret anything. The arrival of her pup brightened her gray days and became her reason for being.
- Mommy\, can I go with you to work today? – the little one asked\, pulling her from her thoughts.
- No\, my love\, you have to go to school – she replied as she stood up with him in her arms.
- Mommy\, I don’t want to go\, I don’t like that school – The little one whispered.
- Why? – Astrid asked as she walked with the child to the kitchen.
- I don’t like the kids there\, they say I’m weird… - He whispered\, his gaze lowered.
Astrid sighed; she knew that human life would be difficult for her little one someday, but he was still a cub, and his wolf powers hadn’t awakened yet.
- Alain\, you’re not weird\, and don’t pay attention to what others say – She said\, stroking his black hair\, which she knew he had inherited from his father\, that bastard who dared to abuse her four years ago.
- Well – The boy replied resignedly\, keeping a small secret from his mother; he didn’t want to worry her\, knowing she had enough on her mind.
Astrid took the little boy to school and then went to work; her job was as a secretary at a construction company, where she quickly understood her functions and became very efficient in her tasks. Thanks to the benefits, Alain could attend a private school because he had a scholarship from the company.
- Ms. Cameron\, come to my office – Said her boss\, a man in his thirties\, who had courted Astrid at first but calmed down when he learned she had a child.
Astrid stood up and headed to his office, wearing a pencil skirt that accentuated her figure.
- What can I do for you\, Sir – she said with a smile\, preparing to take notes on her tablet.
- This is a termination – He said out of the blue.
Astrid looked at him in disbelief; he couldn’t say that to her, not now when she needed the job so much.
- Why? – She asked nervously.
- Staff cut – He responded matter-of-factly – Please go to human resources for your severance payment. I’m sorry\, but we’re really going through a crisis\, and we can only keep staff with availability – He commented as he saw her look of astonishment.
- I have availability…
- You don’t – He interrupted her – You have a child\, and because of that\, you can’t work extra hours\, so\, well\, I’m sorry\, Astrid\, but you’ll find something better – He smiled and then focused on his laptop.
Astrid left devastated after receiving her severance check; it could cover some debts and a few months' rent in advance, but she couldn’t afford Alain’s private school, so she would have to transfer him to a public one.
She arrived at the school to complete the withdrawal process; there was no point in keeping him there any longer, and she also decided to take him home.
She waited calmly for her son to arrive when she saw him walking towards her, with his teacher behind him. What was strange was that her little one was murmuring something, as if he were talking to himself.
- Alain? – She called.
The little boy lifted his gaze and smiled, running into her arms, and she welcomed him with much love.
- I missed you\, Mommy – The little one said excitedly in his mother’s embrace.
- And I missed you – She lifted him and glanced at the teacher\, bidding her farewell and leaving with Alain in her arms\, who couldn’t stop planting kisses on her.
- Did you get off work early\, Mommy? – Alain asked\, knowing that his mother usually picked him up in the afternoon when there were no other children around.
- Well\, let’s just say I have a vacation – She lied\, not wanting her little one to be tormented by problems – By the way\, Alain\, why were you talking to yourself? – She asked curiously.
Alain looked at her with surprise and sadness, his small body beginning to tremble in her arms.
- Mommy… I wasn’t talking to myself – He whispered\, his gaze lowered.
- What do you mean? – Astrid asked\, a hint of fear in her voice.
- There’s someone in my head\, and he says he’s my friend – The little Alain whispered again.
Astrid stopped dead in her tracks; that couldn’t be possible. It had been so many years since any wolf had contacted their inner wolf, so her son couldn’t be the exception.
- What does he say exactly? – She asked\, trying to conceal her nerves.
- He is my friend and he will take care of me…- The little boy looked up with hope in his eyes at seeing that his mother believed him. – Mommy\, I’m not crazy\, I swear\, I can hear him and he says that you should believe me – said the boy before his mother could say anything more.
- Yes\, of course\, I believe you…oh by the Goddess – Astrid said\, overwhelmed.
Now, after four years, she was starting to worry about the identity of her son’s father, as he must be someone with such strong genes that her little one had awakened his wolf at such an early age and, above all, was able to communicate with him.
She had to return to the Greven kingdom and find answers, to locate the father of her little cub before his wolf began to lose control and hurt him.
