Our Surprise Mate

**Valentina~**

Hazie was able to relax after I told her Ryan was safe. He's Queen Emilia and King Cassius's personal servant, so I know he gets treated with respect. His blood is not used to feed, but apparently, their daughter, Catherine, likes to play with him. That means Catherine uses him to satisfy her sexual needs and sends him away, but Emilia said Ryan doesn't mind. Catherine is a stunning young female, so it's no surprise that he is willing to oblige. Hazie laughed when I told her about Ryan being a sex toy for the king and queen's daughter.

"At least he isn't being tortured, and he seems happy in that territory. Anything is better than Mortal Grounds." She was never a fan of her home territory, but now that she is educated on how they function, she hates it. The leaders she once respected are now at the top of her shit list.

Today, Hazie starts her training. If the vision she experienced is coming soon, we need to ensure we prepare her for it. The problem she mainly needs to work on is controlled shifting. For a naturally born Lycan, it's first nature to us. However, humans that get turned by their mates need more help. The Tribrid cannot make up visions, but we can change the outcome of the vision. Hazie said she tried to shift when she was in it, but her body would not allow it. I will make sure she is capable of shifting at her own will by the end of the week so that she won't be left in her vulnerable human form when that time comes. My heart sinks every time I think about it. The nasty truth is, the vision will happen. Somehow, she will end up alone in that forest with Eden, one of the most dangerous beings to ever live. It makes me want to lock my Hazie up in a cellar until the war is over, but I can't strip her of her freedom. If she ever decides to take matters into her own hands, I can't get in her way. As a leader, sometimes it's necessary. That's another ugly truth that I never want to face.

I left Lucas and Tae at home and brought Hazie to my favorite place. We have an open acre of land behind a wall of trees near the castle where I do Yoga in peace. The field is covered in vibrant yellow dandelions, gently swaying in the light breeze. Their sweet nectar carries in the wind and fills my lungs, giving me the natural calming agent that I need to connect my mind, body, and spirit. The trees act as an umbrella to protect me from the harsh sun, so I remain on the edge of the field.

I packed two baskets full of everything we need. The first day always requires more work, but she will feel like a new woman once we're finished.

"You need to have more control over your body. To do that, your mind and body will need to unite. You're a dancer, so it should come easier to you than other humans. Have you ever heard of Yoga?" I lay out two mats. "Yeah, I've done it a few times. It's relaxing, but I rarely had time to do it in Mortal Grounds because of my work schedules." They don't properly teach it there, but at least she understands the basics of Yoga.

"Good, now you can learn how to do real Yoga. This is to prepare your mind and body for strength, flexibility, discipline, and meditation. Each is equally important, as you cannot possess one without possessing the others. I usually do not incorporate crystals for myself, but you could use the extra help. Drink this." I pour her a cup of hot herbal tea with no added artificial sweeteners. Hazie wasn't a fan, but I encouraged her to drink it all. "That tastes like watered-down leaves." She complains after finishing the cup.

"Well, it kind of is." Her face scrunches up, and I kiss her nose. I refrain from any more physical contact because we don't have time to waste. Not that making love to her in a field of dandelions would be considered a waste, but we'll save that for after her training. I pull out my jars of natural rainwater and Clear Quartz crystal spheres.

"Is that another thing I need to drink?" I laugh at her scared expression.

"No, silly. Natural rainwater helps with cleansing, and the Clear Quartz helps with clearing your mind, balance, and healing. Remove your shirt and bra, then lie face-down on your mat with your arms to your sides. We will begin with a Clear Quartz massage. From this point on, I need you to remain quiet. Focus on your body and mind. First, I will relax your muscles before you stretch them." She follows my directions, granting me access to work on her body. She's left in a pair of short cotton shorts that leave nothing to my imagination. I straddle her bottom to ensure I don't put too much stress on my own body during the session. I drop the two crystal spheres into the rainwater and soak my fingers. "This will be a little cold at first, so brace yourself." I remove my fingers from the water and dangle over her, allowing small drops to land randomly over her back and shoulders. Hazie shutters at the contact initially, but she remains quiet. I'm thankful she's taking this seriously.

I remove the crystal spheres from the water and secure them in my palms as I glide them along her back on either side of her spine. A soft moan escapes Hazie's lips as I repeat the process downward, then up again. Once I reach her shoulders, I move the spheres in small, circular motions before rolling them up to her neck. I can tell she has fallen asleep by her breathing... and snoring. Falling asleep doesn't mean the crystals stop working, so I continue anyway. If her mind shut down, it's because it needed to.

I dip the crystals back into the water before moving my attention to her arms. I repeat the process when It's time to massage her thighs and calves. Her muscles are incredibly tense from all the stress she has carried lately. Once I finish, I gently wake her. She slowly sits up and wipes the drool from the corner of her mouth. How attractive.

"I feel amazing already. What's next?" She pulls her shirt back on but ignores the bra. Her eagerness to move forward brings a smile to my face. For the next hour, I guide her through the Yoga session with every position in the book. The end came fast, but that doesn't mean we're finished.

"To finish up, I need you to get back into your downward dog position." She gets into the position, lifting her butt into the air and putting her weight on her hands while keeping her legs straight. Hazie's loose shirt slides up her back, exposing her smooth skin. The shorts only cover half of her ass cheeks, but they aren't skin tight. I told her to wear shorts that wouldn't be in her way but were breathable. These are perfect.

"Stay in this position, and don't move unless I say so. Okay? This will test just how much control you have." I know I'm not fighting fair, but it'll be for her pleasure too.

"Okay." She still thinks this is part of Yoga. In a way, I guess it is. I stand behind her and caress her figure. My hands travel to the globes of her ass, squeezing just enough to make her realize this is a different kind of session.

I move to her center, finding her clit and rubbing it with my fingertips. It is evident, her legs are getting weak, but she takes deep breaths and steadies herself. I pull her shorts and panties down. I know she feels exposed while being in this position. I want to make her feel nervous and excited at the same time. Her glistening pussy confirms her excitement, and her racing heart motivates me to continue. I go back to teasing her clit, but the skin-on-skin contact strongly affects her. Hazie's knees almost give out, but I catch her by the hips with my left arm and hold her up. My index and middle fingers push inside her wetness as my thumb plays with her clit simultaneously. She moans loud enough to disturb any nearby animals as I fuck her with my fingers, grazing her g-spot. I feel her walls tighten around me, so I bring her to the brink of her orgasm before pulling out. She groans in frustration.

"I was so close!" She breathlessly cries out, and I spank her ass hard.

"Remember when you had me restrained? I needed you so badly, but you waited to please me. It's time to return the favor, Hazie. Straighten your legs and fix your position." She mutters a few cuss words under her breath as she repositions herself.

I spank the other cheek, and she yelps. "No cussing. We don't need any negative energy after I worked so hard to cleanse you of it. This is positive reinforcement, my love. Do well, and I will reward you."

She loves the sound of that. By 'she' I mean the needy muscle waiting patiently for me. I gently run my fingers down her back, over her bottom, and down her thighs. I keep slightly missing her center, driving her crazier by the second. She waits long enough for me to finally give her the release she desperately craves. I get on my knees and begin to feast on her. She rocks her hips, so I secure them in place with a firm grip. She tastes delightful. Warm and hydrated. Hazie ate a ton of fruits this morning during breakfast; maybe that is why she tastes so pure. I can't get enough. I partially shift to use my long, Lycan tongue inside her. I want to drink up everything she has.

Hazie's legs shake as I assault her deep with my tongue and vigorously work against her clit. She coats my tongue with her climax, and I suck up every bit. Good goddess, I love this woman.
