Chapter 228: Her mate’s mother

Lyra groggily opened her eyes and tried to move from her place only to stop the next minute. Demir likewise stirred up when he felt movement above him. His hands involuntarily tightened around his mate’s waist bringing her attention back to him.

A smile adorned her lips as soon as she felt him bringing her closer to him, "Good morning" Lyra chirped as she pecked her mate’s lips.

"My sunshine" Demir chanted and kissed his mate back. The small kiss turned heated and passionate in seconds and by now, the positions were reversed with Lyra under him.

Demir felt heat rush into his lower body when his mate’s perked-up nipples grazed against his bare chest. He could not hold it any longer and plunged himself deep inside her flower.

"Mmh’’ Lyra moaned in pleasure when she felt his shaft fill her insides as though it was made just for this. To stay secure in her warm abode. After a few minutes, their vigorous morning exercise came to an end leaving both of them sweaty and exhausted

Coming down from his high, Demir glanced at his mate’s face and kissed her forehead. Then he propped himself up and picked her up before getting down from the bed and walking toward the bathhouse.

Lyra encircled her arms around his neck and was about to doze off until she felt a fuzzy sensation as he lowered them into the bath filled with warm water.

’sigh’ a contended breath left her mouth as she relaxed while leaning her head against her mate’s chest. Then she felt his hands roaming along her body as he cleaned her.

A chuckle left his mouth when he saw his mate narrowing her eyes in glee as he massaged her wet scalp. He was not able to stop himself and pecked her pouty lips making her grin. Time passed like that as she lazed around and let him do all the work from wiping her dry after the bath to dressing her up with the clothes he had prepared long ago. The day when he met his mate for the first time, he purchased clothes and other necessities that she possibly would need in the future. It took too long after that for him to bring her to his tribe, to his house and his room but he felt like it was worth it. Seeing her here in his territory fully safe and comfortable, pleased him to no end.

After getting dressed, they walked hand in hand out of the room.

"Where are we going?’’ she asked as she roamed her eyes observing the scorpion palace.

"To the training grounds" he answered, "I want you to get familiarised with the tribe warriors" after her last abduction, he felt like it would be ideal for her to interact with warriors of his clan and her other mates’ clans. He wanted to somehow increase her safety. Single beastmen, mainly warrior beastmen of every tribe dedicated their loyalty to protecting their queens until they found their respective mates.

"Alright" Lyra readily agreed at his words. If that would give her mates peace of mind then why not? She too was fed with getting abducted all the time anyway.

After walking for quite a distance, they reached the training grounds and Lyra could hear the sound of fighting. Many scorpion beastmen were dueling in the open grounds. Some of them were in thier beast forms and others were fist-fighting in their beastmen form. She also saw a minority of them battling with weapons such as spears and stone hammers. The latter was less though because most of the beastmen took pride in fighting in their beast forms rather than with weapons. It was the same for all beastmen including her mates.

The moment they stepped inside the grounds, Lyra saw the beastmen halt their actions and saw as they turned towards their direction before kneeling, "Your highness" they greeted loudly before adding, "My lady"

"Get up" Only after receiving, Demir’s acknowledgment did the warriors raise themselves from the ground. Then she felt him grip her hand before announcing, "This is my mate and she will be your future queen’’ his sharp eyes glanced at all of them as he added, "Are we clear?’’

"Yes, your highness," the warriors said in chorus. Lyra glanced at her mate with an admiration-filled gaze. He did not have to say things for his warriors to understand. The bond and respect that his tribesmen had for him genuinely warmed her heart. She felt consoled knowing that he had people to lean on and trust other than her. It was never right for an individual to heavily depend on one person or that was what she believed.

Her thoughts came to halt when she felt her mate turning towards her, "I have to stay here for some time to look after the training. So it is better if you return to our room" then he pulled her wanting to take her back but stopped when he felt her stop.

"What’s wrong?’’

"I want to stay here," she said, "And watch you train’’

"You might get bored, sunshine"

"I will get bored anyway while staying alone in the room" then she gently pushed him towards the training ground as she said, "Go now, sweetheart. I will be fine here"

With her continuous urging, he had no choice other than to agree with her suggestion. He moved further inside the training ground and Lyra settled herself near a tree. The sun up in the sky was not that harsh or glaring but instead warm. With a pleasant smile hanging on her lips, she watched her dashing mate command his tribesmen and train. She was so lost in watching him that she did not feel someone approaching her.

"My lady?" she flinched in her place when she heard a low masculine voice and when she turned back, there stood a beastman holding a spear in one of his hands.

"I’m sorry for startling you, my lady" the beastman that probably was a guard looked apologetic as he rambled nonstop apologies, "I-i.....I really apologize, my lady. Please forgive me"

"It"s alright" Lyra couldn’t help but intervene to stop him from seemingly drowning in guilt.

The guard still looked disturbed but he soon relaxed and stated, "Her majesty the queen asked me to bring you to her chambers, my lady. So if you please....."

"The queen?"

"It is his highness, prince Demir’s mother," the guard cleared seeing her confused.

"Ah" Lyra nodded in recognition but soon she grew even more confused, "Why does her majesty want to see me?"

Lyra had to admit that she didn’t quite like Demir’s mother. She knew only little about Scorpion queen and felt guilty for judging her. It was wrong of her to hate someone that she had never even met before.

’Hate’ it was such a strong emotion and not everyone deserved it. Lyra knew that but still, she disliked anyone that might have hurt her mates in the past.

"I don’t know, my lady" the guard’s reply broke her thoughts and she looked at him as he added, "I’m just following her majesty the queen’s orders"

Lyra pursed her lips before she cast her gaze on Demir. Dark brownish hair that resembled her favorite chocolate back home and golden eyes like that of melted gold. Such a handsome man her mate is. But such a man who looked so strong and almost invincible became weak and vulnerable whenever he talked about his mother. He deserved all the love in the world, however, it was only her that thought like this. Meanwhile, Demir acted like he was not worthy of love. As though he was a lesser person in their relationship.

She wanted to bring him out of that mentality and to do that, she has to first face the one responsible for her mate’s insecurity. His mother.

"Let’s go" with determination burning in her gaze, she got up from the ground and followed the guard to meet her mate’s mother.
