THE ALPHA KING'S WANTED MATE 25; Shall We?
25- “Shall We?”. Camila Castello.I ended up sleeping longer than I’m supposed to, especially because no one thought of waking me up. The whole point of the Summit is a bunch of meetings where they discuss how to solve their current issues at hand and in the process, straighten the relationships between packs and Kingdoms.The very first meeting is set to take place the very next day following our arrival, or should I say, the few hours following our arrival at exactly 11:00AM. Despite the major importance of the summit being strengthening bonds and all and the pack issues as well, the first meeting is more like a chance to get to know each other all over again.From what I heard, the last Summit that took place all together—Werewolves and Vampires together, like this was about fifteen years ago, so it’s been long and a lot has changed. Certain leaders have died—in the case of wolves since Vampires are immortals, certain leaders have been removed from their positions, both creatures
THE ALPHA KING'S WANTED MATE 26; Vampire Girl.
26- “Vampire Girl.”.Camila Castello.Newfound confidence that stems from my sudden realization of how good I look, of how stunning I look and of how much I’ve grown, becoming a different woman than the one who fled seven years ago surged through my veins as Cassain and I walked down the hallway leading up the grand meeting room, where the first event of the Summit is commencing already.It’s obviously from the empty halls—save for the mixture of vampire and werewolf guards that everyone else is in there already. They all bowed in acknowledgement of Cassain—because I certainly know that wasn’t for me, but he didn’t spare them a glance, neither did I. Cassain had his gaze set ahead, unmoved by the action.I held my head high, and kept my expression bare as we reached the end of the walls, where the double doors are, leading to the meeting room. Two guards stood by the doors, amongst the others lining it by the sides.Cassain turned his head and gave me one last look, his eyes silently
THE ALPHA KING'S WANTED MATE 27; On Edge.
27- “On edge.”. Adrian Moretti.Camilla is alive. I couldn’t believe it. For a second, I thought my eyes were playing tricks on me, that I’ve yearned so much for her over the years so my brain was starting to play tricks on me by having hallucinations of her, it wouldn’t be the first time anyway, I’ve had that one too many times over the years that it’s become norm to me—it blended perfectly well with the image the people seemed to have painted of me over the years, and dare I remind you that I couldn’t care less about it.I would be lying if I said I didn’t like it as well, it gave the people an edge to stay the fuck away from me, which is one thing I needed over the years the absolute most. I’d been living off their fears for me, and it’s sick, but I enjoy it quite a lot. There’s nothing that could shake me up from that spot, except for the woman seated across me.‘Adrian’ Caleb’s warning voice came through my mind link, from where he was seated on the third seat to me. Betas weren
THE ALPHA KING'S WANTED MATE 28; Think rationally... Or try to.
28- “Think Rationally…or try to.”.Adrian Moretti.The meeting went quite well, and by the time it ended, everyone had morphed into their professional state, leaving aside any personal feelings and focusing on the task at hand—which is the safety of our people. These suspicious rogue attacks were getting out of hand, and considering its occurring in both Kingdoms, it’s nothing but a coincidence—which is what we needed to discuss.Of course, one meeting wouldn’t cut it, hence why the whole week is needed. Even then, I doubt it’ll be enough but we ought to have come up with a solution by then. The meeting ended shortly after 2:00pm, hours after it had started, and the minute we’d called it an end, I and the man opposite me were the first to get up, accompanied by those closest to us while all others got on their feet, bowing in respect.I ignored them, turning around and strolling out of the meeting room, Caleb and Roseline following closely, while the others piled out as well. Against
THE ALPHA KING'S WANTED MATE 29; Butterflies of different kinds.
29- “Butterflies of different kinds.”. Camilla Castello.“Hey…” A warm hand rests on my lower back, the touch somewhere between being cold, and warm as well—the different temperature instantly alerting me of who the owner of the hand is, even without his voice registering in my mind. “…are you okay?” Cassain inquired, his voice low as he leaned down to my height.I looked up, just as we’d reached the main suite of our side, which basically belongs to him. All four of us had somehow wordlessly agreed to make our way here after the meeting, and though on the way no words were exchanged verbally, I’m certain there must be a lot of thoughts they would want to chirp in here and there.Cassain’s question though had me tilting my head up so my eyes would meet his, and the moment it does, I offered him a small smile. “Yeah…” The word came out from my small voice, our faces inches apart. His eyes, those dark red ones stared into mine with cinched brows, as if trying to unravel every layer of
THE ALPHA KING'S WANTED MATE 30; Then we met again.
30- “Then we meet again.”.Camilla Castello.Following how our conversation ended, Ria and Salazar left to carry on with whatever task they were up to—something along the lines of conversing with other leaders of the Kingdom, Cassain opted to join them as well, but not before keeping his earlier promise of making sure food was delivered to my place and he’s made sure I would be okay being alone, to which I waved off with a smile and the statement, “Of course, I’ll be fine. I’m not a child.”He simply hummed at that, then said something along the lines off, “Whatever sails your boat, little wolf.” And with one last pat on my shoulders, he trudged out as well, as he had responsibilities as the King of Vampires other than babysitting a she-wolf who has a crush on him though she hasn’t admitted it, and has no plans on doing so.With them gone, I found myself sinking further into the chair as I sighed deeply, my shoulders slumping. I don’t know how long I remained in that position, but it
THE ALPHA KING'S WANTED MATE 31; Sizzling tension.
31- “Sizzling tension.”.Camilla Castello.His deep, forest green eyes held mine in a look that lasted longer than a few, mere seconds. I could feel his warm, minty breath on me, and I’m certain he could feel mine as well. We were mere inches away, and any movement of me upwards, and him downwards, and the story would change.His hand was still on the book on the top shelf, the other on the shelf beside me, practically caging me in. The warmth from his body which I hadn’t felt in so long rolled off in waves, and I would be lying if I said my body didn’t tingle at the action. His scent, stronger than I’d remembered wafted the air, filling my sense with the woody, and musky scent, overtaking my senses as a whole.My feet curled as I took in a greedy breath, my heart rate spiking while I fisted my hand by the side. My fingers, upon having him so close etch to just raise upwards at run them through his messy hair that now fall over his forehead in curls, framing the forehead in a tousled
THE ALPHA KING'S WANTED MATE 32; Old Friendships.
31- “Old friendships.”.Camilla Castello.By the time I left the library, I was pretty much flustered even though I tried to hide it. However, the blood rushing through my cheeks and the clenched fist by my side pretty much said a lot about that which I tried to keep hidden. Thankfully, there were no people in the hall, which saved me the embarrassment of them being curious as to why I’d be looking that way.Bringing the back of my hand to my cheeks, I tried to pat it in other to get rid of the red tint there no doubt, all the while trying to put as much distance away from the library as humanely, or in this case, as wolf-ly as possible. However, just as I’d taken a turn, about to fully leave the lane leading to the secluded library, I came to a stop when I spotted a familiar face approaching.He had his gaze set on his phone, but upon hearing the halt of footsteps, he looked up, and our gazes clashed. I’d already realized it was him, even without seeing his face. The mop of brown hai

THE ALPHA KING'S WANTED MATE EPILOGUE
80- “EPILOGUE.”Camilla Castello.‘Can’t wait to see you walking down the aisle. Happy wedding day, My Queen.’ A smile made its way on my face as I read the message he had attached to the flowers he had delivered to my room while I was getting ready for our big day. And as I plucked the perfectly settled card in between the flowers, a wave of déjà vu hit me as I am reminded of our wedding ten years ago, the wedding that never took place.Now, who would have thought? Five months into Adrian proposing to me and four months into me agreeing to come back to the Kingdom, we are finally tying the knot for real, and I am to be his lawful wife? Who would have thought really?Except that feeling of déjà vu did not linger much, because the setting of our wedding is not like before and a lot has changed since that. Now, a feeling of anticipation and eagerness settled within me, all too giddy about the ceremony up ahead. And, as I stood in front of the full length mirror, giving myself a onceover
THE ALPHA KING'S WANTED MATE 79; Embracing the Good.
79- “Embracing the Good.”Camilla Castello.“Adrian,” I breathed out, pulling myself away from him as I sat up, then turned my head around just in time to see him get up to a sitting position as well, his own expression serious. I brought my lower lip between my teeth, nibbling it before I sighed once again, my expression softening. “I do not think that is a good idea.”The past few days we have spent together have been nothing short of blissful, I admit. And if I am to be greedy one more time, I would wish for what we have ongoing to remain in the human world alone and not go back to where we had left. But, I knew it was all just wishful thinking, I have known for the longest time. I just did not want to acknowledge it, wanting to live in this dream of mine a little longer before I would have to face reality. The reality where Adrian cannot live in the human world for he has greater responsibilities back at the Kingdom, and he cannot stay away for long.I have thought long and hard a
THE ALPHA KING'S WANTED MATE 78; What the future holds.
Adrian Moretti’s POV.Her breath was a soft gasp against my ear, the sound sending a shiver down my spine as sparks flew from the contact, all taking root from the mate bone. I held her close, feeling the heat of her skin against mine, her pulse racing beneath my fingertips and the feel of her warm body against mine.. The world had zeroed to this moment, the feel of her body moving with mine, the low hum of her voice barely audible between her ragged breaths. Fuck I love this woman and I miss the feel of her.“Adrian…” she whispered, my name falling from her lips like a plea, and I answered her with a growl, pulling her even closer, if that were possible. I am barely keeping my wolf in check from taking over.I could feel the tension building between us, her body trembling under my touch, my own pulse thundering in my ears. Every muscle in my body was strung tight, and I knew neither of us would last much longer. But hell do I want this with her, more than anything.Her nails raked do
THE ALPHA KING'S WANTED MATE 77; Making Claims.
77- “Making Claims.”Camilla Castello.My smile widened slightly, the correction jogging my memory from the day before, out of fondness, “Simon,” I corrected myself, nodding my head slowly as I tapped in the input, ready to take his order. Meeting his gaze again, I offered him a slight smile. “What will be your order today, Simon?”His expression seemed relieved, as if glad I had gone along with his name rather than the formality from earlier. “the same as yesterday,” he stated, without so much as a glance in the direction of the menu. “Your choices from yesterday proved to be very much welcomed truly.”“My choices?” My brows drew in, “You picked what you wanted. I merely hinted you being British.”“Which is not far off,” He pointed out, his tone knowing and teasing.I chuckled slightly, then nodded in agreement. “Which is not far off.” I agreed, then tapped in his orders same as yesterday, glad I could remember them all. Once I had done so, I looked up to hold his gaze again. “It wil
THE ALPHA KING'S WANTED MATE 76; Blissful Moments.
76- “Blissful Moments.”Camilla Castello.Adrian stayed true to his words about taking Luna to school, but of course, after getting his change of outfit brought by Caleb and showering. Some how, he actually managed to make it on time before Luna wakes up and gets ready. He even took the liberty of making breakfast for all of us, making me just sit on the stool and watch as he went about his work in the kitchen.I could not help but look at him in surprise, as Luna was getting ready while he and I were in the kitchen, with him handling the breakfast as he had promised. “Since when have you been one to know your way around the kitchen?” I asked, drawing my robe closer to my body as I crossed my arms over my torso, staring at him with furrowed brows. “Last I remember, you cannot do anything in the kitchen.” And that is the truth, cooking is not his forte, it has never been. The Adrian I remember cannot go into the kitchen and turn on the gas cooker without burning the kitchen down.This
THE ALPHA KING'S WANTED MATE 75; Blissful Mornings.
Camilla Castello’s POVI stirred awake to the sensation of soft, lingering kisses trailing down my neck. For a second, I was a bit confused as to what is going on since I have grown accustomed to waking up alone in my bed, but a familiar scent registered in my mind, and the memories of last night came pouring in, making a small, soft smile take over my featured as I felt nothing other than satisfaction.There were no regrets whatsoever.My body responded instinctively, arching slightly as warmth spread from where his lips touched, the tingles returning reminding me of our newly renounced mate bond. My eyes fluttered open, and I turned my head to find Adrian already hovering above me, his dark eyes filled with a familiar intensity that sent a thrill through me."Morning," he murmured, his voice deep and low, sending shivers along my spine. His eyes, those familiar forest green orbs were now dark and hooded, desire swirling in them new compared to last night. Knots formed within me, hea
THE ALPHA KING'S WANTED MATE 74; Skin in Silk
74- “Skins In Silk.”Camilla Castello.I do not know why I did it, but there was no ounce of regret in me. One minute, I was staring at him as he rambled on about wanting us to rekindle our relationship and start all over on a fresh slate, and how we wasted ten years of our lives for waste just like that, and I could not help but agree with him. For the first time in a long time, I decided to just let go of every thing and screw it, and the next minute I found myself kissing him. He seemed taken aback for a second, but he quickly recovered, his arms wrapping round me back as he kissed me feverishly, more sensuously.I found myself sitting on his lab, straddling him as we continued our kiss—the sound of heavy breaths filling the air of the room. One of his hands remained on my waist, grasping it tightly while the other slipped to my hair, pulling softly at its root just as mine roamed in his hair.His lips left mine just as I was starting to become breathless, but it trailed downwards,
THE ALPHA KING'S WANTED MATE 73; Winning Her Back.
73- “Winning Her Back.”Adrian Moretti.Three years. It has been three years since Camilla disappeared from the supernatural realm, and the reason is not entirely unknown. At this point, it already well known that Cassain, the Vampire King’s mate has returned, and that their love story has continued from where it stopped. Where she has been since her ‘death’ and why she chose to return then of all times when the relationship between Cassain and Camilla is picking up remains a mystery, but it is already known that it is the reason Camilla went missing.Every one else thinks Cassain has forgotten her, but I know otherwise. He has still been looking for her, and has found her even. He just did not show up, knowing she would not want to see him, and I could not blame her.It is kind of the same with me as well. It has been three years since she and I officially met—and why I say officially is, unlike Cassain, I do not exactly have the patience to know where she is and not visit her. In ev
THE ALPHA KING'S WANTED MATE 72; Perfect Strangers.
72- “Perfect Strangers.”Camilla Castello.I brought the first aid kit with so many question running through my head. It got answered to a certain extent when I brought it to him and he gestured for me to sit down while he got on his feet, taking a hold of the kit and placing it on the coffee table beside us.I could only stare at him with drawn in brows and question swirling in my orbs. I watched as he opened the first aid kit, pulling out some essentials and then turned around to look at me, his expression unmoved. “Let me see your wound,” He said.If possible, my frown deepened, “What?” His words caught me slightly off guard, though a part of me did expect this much when he mentioned the first aid kit thing because it does not seem like he is injured whatsoever.“Your shirt,” he stated, his tone calm, but stern at the same time. “Take it off.”Subconsciously, I wrapped my hand around my self, my eyes narrowed at him slightly as if to silently question whether he knows what he is sa
