The Alpha King is Addicted to Me Chapter 9 Regrets
(Raul POV) “That crazy bitch escaped and killed 7 of my best warriors!” Vesper’s ranting at me. He showed up here in a froth this morning, certain we’re hiding Briana from him.I’m not going to pretend to care about his men. Guilt has been eating me alive since the moment I allowed them to take Briana. The way her eyes dulled when I agreed to Vesper’s ultimatum will live rent-free in my head for the rest of my life.I had no choice though. It’s what’s best for the pack. We need this truce and I can’t put one member’s life ahead of everyone else’s.I’m glad she’s free and I hope she finds happiness. I’ve always known she’s a hell of a fighter, but I’m shocked that she took out that many warriors in her weakened state. Vesper’s best has to be pretty average.My feelings toward Briana are a confused tangle. I don’t want her to suffer. Finding my second-chance mate while she was unconscious isn’t her fault. Frankly, the fact that it happened had me convinced Briana would never wake up f

(Briana POV) “The food’s good and the company even better,” I tell Aiden tartly. His cocky grin widens, “Well that’s an offer I just can’t refuse,” he responds. “I’ll come and join you for dinner.” Maybe it’s a royalty thing, this assumption that people want your company no matter what they say. But I strongly suspect it’s all Aiden-arrogance.Poor Lucille is so uncomfortable she spends the rest of dinner sitting as quiet as a mouse, with her elbows tucked in tightly to her sides. No longer eating, or even daring to look up from the table. Aiden blithely ignores the irritated look I give him.“Did you manage to get some rest?” Aiden asks, after endless minutes of painfully uncomfortable silence. “Yes,” I respond tersely, blushing when I realize how he’s eyeing the nightgown. I’m wearing nothing underneath and I try to surreptitiously check that the two sides are closed properly and nothing’s showing. His grin widens.I wasn’t even aware of what I was wearing while it was only Lucil

(Briana POV) I allow myself 2 minutes to cry against his chest and take comfort from his hand gently stroking my hair. Then I have to pull away because my treacherous body starts reacting in all the wrong ways again. It’s as though his presence drugs me with some kind of enthralling aphrodisiac.“Thank you, I’m okay now. Sorry about that,” I say, indicating his soaking wet shoulder. “You don’t need to apologize, Briana. I’m your mate. I’m here for anything you need. Anything at all.” He gives me a suggestive wink while placing extra emphasis on his last words, breaking the gossamer strands of connection that nearly formed between us.“Yeah, okay, thank you very much, I really appreciate that. What I need now is some time alone please.” He doesn’t argue, rising to his feet immediately. “Whatever you need my darling mate,” he says, before kissing the top of my head. “My presence can be overwhelming, but I’m sure you’ll build up some tolerance over time.”He saunters out of the room b

(Briana POV) Despite my unease about Lucille’s words, I slept well and woke up early. Getting up early to start training before the sun crests the horizon has been part of my life for so long, it’s difficult to get out of the habit.I’m not sure what would happen if I tried to go out on my own. Would the guards try to stop me? Part of me is terrified of finding out.Instead, I’m lying in bed worrying. Lucille’s warning is clanging loudly in my mind and I can’t stop thinking about it. Why shouldn’t I trust Aiden? Not that I was likely to so soon after meeting him. After the way Raul and Alec betrayed me, trust isn’t something I can offer freely again. But what specifically makes Aiden untrustworthy?There’s a light knock before Lucille enters. “Good morning Miss Briana,” she says shyly. “Just Briana,” I remind her with a smile. “Good morning Lucille.” She dimples at me before her expression turns somber. “The king would like to see you in his study immediately.”I frown. “I haven’t ev

(Briana POV) “I’d like to get to know your people a little before they know who I am. I don’t want them acting differently around me just because I’m the future Luna. I want to join them in drills so I can see how they fight.”An hour later I’ve had breakfast and I’m wearing what has to be the costliest items I’ve ever donned in my life. The leather pants are buttery soft against my skin. Key areas are reinforced with some type of steel mesh, which is unexpectedly comfortable to move in. The form fitting shirt is made of the same fabric, the armor covering the chest, back and stomach.“Do all your fighters receive uniforms of this quality?” I ask him skeptically when he comes to my room to fetch me. He doesn’t respond immediately, staring at me with open admiration.“Hm? Oh, yes, of course. Sorry, but you are very distracting in this outfit. Sadly they don’t all look as hot as you in it.” Chastising myself for my blush doesn’t make it disappear and Aiden isn’t even attempting to hide

(Briana POV) The day passes quickly and I enjoy the easy laughs. Not only with Tyra, but with Aiden too. He’s more relaxed out here than he was with the servants in the palace.By the end of the day I have a pretty good idea of who I’d like to put on my list, but I enjoyed being in their company so much and I’m afraid everything will change the moment they find out I’m going to be their Luna.“Please let me do this for a while longer,” I ask Aiden when we walk back at the end of the day. “Just a few more days, so I can cement some friendships before they know about the whole you and me thing.”Aiden laughs softly. “The fact that we’re mates and you’re to be their Luna?” he asks, “Or the fact that you can’t look at me without picturing me naked and longing to breed with me? Which you and me thing exactly, Briana?”He is going to drive me crazy and then he’ll be saddled with a lunatic Luna and it will only serve him right. I refuse to rise to the bait and keep staring straight ahead w

(Briana POV) I’m so nervous it’s difficult to breathe, but nothing could have prepared me for the gut punch I feel when Tyra says, “You’re not Aiden’s first mate. Far from it.”My mind is spinning, desperately trying to find some way to reject her words. This isn’t right. He said… “No. It can’t be,” I start to object, only pulling myself together when I see the naked pity on Tyra’s face.“What happened to her? His first mate,” I ask nervously. Still hoping there’s something here that will redeem him. A logical explanation. In spite of all my protestations, and knowing I’m not ready to move on yet, a growing part of me wants him to be mine.“Them. There’s more than one.” Tyra says quietly, her deep green eyes studying me worriedly. My knees buckle and I’m relieved to find the bed right behind me. Why does everyone betray me? Am I cursed?“Tell me everything please,” I request quietly, but with steel in my voice. I won’t be caught off-guard again. This time I’ll know what’s going on ar
Last Updated : 2024-07-23The Alpha King is Addicted to Me Chapter 16 A deal’s a deal
(Briana POV) I do a much better job of hiding my emotions than Tyra, who visibly pales when he speaks. His attention is on me and I hurry to keep it that way. Hopefully she’ll be able to pull herself together quickly.“Nothing, just girl stuff. You wouldn’t get it,” I tell him nonchalantly. He offers me his steamiest little smirk. “Ohhhh, you were talking about me and how irresistible you find me,” he drawls. “You don’t have to be shy, Bria. I won’t mind you gushing about me to my face.”It’s nearly impossible not to be beguiled by him, but I have to protect my heart. “You wish. We have far more interesting things to talk about than you,” I tell him with an eye-roll. To my relief Tyra is smirking when I look over at her. Hopefully Aiden won’t notice her troubled eyes. “I’ve asked them to bring up dinner for the 3 of us,” Aiden tells me. “I hope that wasn’t too presumptuous?” I have a ton of questions for Tyra, which I can’t ask with him here, but there’s no polite or inoffensive

The Alpha King is Addicted to Me Chapter 80 The End
(Bria POV) “Stand down,” I shriek, dropping my bow and sliding down the tree so I can reach the ground faster. I don’t feel the bark biting into my skin, or the cuts opening along my arms and cheek.Aiden. I have to get to Aiden. If I thought there was any possibility of her turning on him, I never would have allowed him to set foot in there. He’s my heart. My life. He’s her fuckin son, how can she do this?“Don’t hurt him! Please, Adrienne, I’m begging you. Take me, put me in your tree, just don’t hurt him.” Aiden roars at my words, the wicked knife slicing deeper into his throat. “No! Run Bria. Run away right now. I won’t live without you!”Adrienne laughs cruelly, but her face is distorted in anger. “You turned my son against me,” she hisses. “You won’t be leaving here alive. Don’t worry darling,” she jeers when Aiden struggles against her grip, “You won’t miss her. Most of you will be erased and replaced with what I’ve always wanted you to be. I kept clinging to the hope that you
The Alpha King is Addicted to Me Chapter 79 Shocking News
(Bria POV)She’s gone! Adrienne has her. I’m on my way there. I’m going to tear her apart! Raul bellows into my head. He’s in a blind panic, something I’ve never witnessed before.Did Tyra take her? I ask. There’s a beat of silence and then a roar so full of misery and pain follows that I sink to my knees as it overwhelms me. No. She was with me. I was there and I failed to protect her. It’s all my fault, Raul keens.There’s no time to find out details right now. I need to get to Adrienne’s garden and stop her before she does anything irreversible. She’ll have a full complement of 12 again now. I’m going there right away, I tell Raul, who hesitates only a moment before agreeing.The knowledge that he’s fully let go of me is bittersweet for only an instant, before it melts into pure, creamy milk chocolate from a master Swiss chocolatier. No guilt or uncertainty holds either of us back anymore. The memories will always be beautiful, but not as enticing as the future.I’m going to do eve
The Alpha King is Addicted to Me Chapter 78 Mother Son Bonding Time
(Aiden POV)Mother seems less than thrilled to see me. It appears I’ve interrupted something. She’s doing her best to hide her irritation, but pretending to be patient has never been a strength of hers.“Now that you’ve come to see the garden for the first time it seems like you can’t keep away,” she comments with barely masked annoyance.She keeps glancing at where I know that horrific tree stump is and that worries me. Has she found a new victim? If so, the girl’s absence hasn’t been noted yet. I’m keeping a very close eye on missing persons in the kingdom.I’m back to not being able to see the tree, but I can feel her in my mind, willing me to see what’s not actually there. She’ll never be able to root around in my brain without my knowledge again. Bria’s love, and our mating bond, is making me stronger than I would have believed I could ever be.For the sake of Bria’s safety I keep every trace of mistrust and hatred from showing on my face and I bury my emotions deep.

The Alpha King is Addicted to Me Chapter 77 Into the Spider’s Web
(Adrienne POV)“I have the woman here my lady,” Niall tells me in his annoying, nasally voice. He was my first little experiment with mind control and things had gone very awry. I squashed his faculties like an overripe grape in my eagerness. I’ve learned to exert self-control since those days.At the time I’d been furious at my failure, but it turned out to be very fortuitous indeed. Niall’s single-mindedly devoted to me and follows my every command without thought or complaint. The perfect weapon when I need a more physical approach to solving my problems.If Aiden doesn’t give up his ridiculous infatuation with Briana soon, Niall will be dispatched to take care of her. I’ve attempted to ride her mind, but while I could plant concepts of blindness and fear, I’m stymied when it comes to taking over her thoughts. I suspect the mating bond she shares with my son has something to do with that. The sooner I break it the better.One side of the wispy little blonde’s face is a bloody mess.
The Alpha King is Addicted to Me Chapter 76 Time to Panic
(Raul POV)I’m going out of my mind with worry about Valerie. I cannot lose her. It seems there’s nothing quite like a bit of mortal danger to clear the mind and straighten out the heart. Bria will always be dear to me, but Valerie is my mate.I have to get to her before Adrienne tries anything. I know the pain of losing a mate, I never want to suffer that way again.Guilt churns in my chest, relentless and heavy. I know my long history with Bria makes it difficult to just put aside the feelings I held for her for so many years. She’s dazzling and exciting and a fantastic woman. I’m glad she didn’t die. I’m sorry we didn’t have time to say goodbye to each other properly. I don’t regret having my new mate.Valerie’s love is the warmth that fuels me now, she’s the place where my soul finds peace. I can’t be too late. I owe Bria for this. Anything she asks will be hers, as long as Valerie is safe.“Where the hell are you running to?” Vesper asks, sprinting after me. I have no time to sto
The Alpha King is Addicted to Me Chapter 75 Mother of the Groom
(Bria POV)To my chagrin I yelp and jump in fright. I’m immediately furious with myself for not hearing Adrienne’s approach. The amused smile on her face mocks me relentlessly. “What would my poor Aiden think if he saw you spying on his mother?”“I wouldn’t call it spying, Adrienne. I was out for a walk with my guards and decided to come in for a quick soak. Then I heard a voice speaking and wanted to make sure it was safe before I entered the chamber. You really shouldn’t be so quick to jump to conclusions.”“Oh, Briana. You think yourself witty and sharp as a whip, don’t you? I know you have my son pussy whipped right now, but it won’t last. I’m his mother. And your pathetic excuse holds no water. You were mind linked to someone when I came upon you and I’m willing to stake your life on it that it was your dearest Raul you were talking to. It won’t be long before Aiden sees through all your deceptions.”“Oh you’re one to talk! What did you do to Christopher? It must have killed you
The Alpha King is Addicted to Me Chapter 74 Certitude
(Bria POV) I wake up to hungry kisses in my neck and Aiden’s hands roaming all over me. My body is exhausted from the night before, but more than willing to push past its limits. “Good morning love,” Aiden says gruffly, taking my nipple into his mouth and grinning devilishly at my helpless moan.“Good morning baby,” I respond tenderly, pulling his head toward mine for a deep kiss. There is no more duality or uncertainty. I love Aiden and nobody else can ever make me happier. My love for Raul was very real and nothing will ever detract from that. It’s in the past though and I’m happy to be living my future.He must see something in my eyes, because he cradles my face between his hands and tells me emphatically, “I love you, Bria, with all my heart.” My eyes glisten with tears as I nod and choke out, “I love you too,” before burying my face in his neck.His joy is palpable, wrapping around us like a cocoon. He makes love to me slowly and thoroughly, before fetching us coffee and breakf
The Alpha King is Addicted to Me Chapter 73 Turning up the Heat
(Aiden POV)Bria’s golden gaze spears me to the bed as her tongue curls around my balls and her lips gently brush over my inflamed skin. She doesn’t look away from me when she sucks them into her mouth one by one, rubbing her tongue across the throbbing globe and suckling softly.I am on the verge of losing control. My fangs have started to come in and my nails have grown sharp as the beast roars inside of me, demanding to be let out to mate freely.I’m fighting to remember that this is the punishment I agreed to. Losing control would negate exactly what I’m trying to prove to Bria. But I’m a werewolf. An Alpha. A dominant male with extremely strong desires and she embodies all of them to me. The drive to claim, breed and protect her is stronger than anything else. Except my love and respect for her.Fuck. She’s moving that delectable mouth in a northerly direction now. Her tongue lapping firmly at the underside of my swollen cock. Long, slow licks running from base to tip repeatedly,
The Alpha King is Addicted to Me Chapter 72 Playtime Continues
(Bria POV)I’m doing my best not to let Aiden see how shy it’s making me feel to masturbate in front of him. I’ve never done anything like this in my life. Embarrassment is quickly making space for an electrifying thrill as I watch his body and eyes reacting to me.I am Aphrodite in his mind. Goddess of love and sex. Ripe and delicious and out of his reach. He can look, but he can’t touch. One hand slips down to my vulva, my middle finger rubbing over my slick, swollen flesh. My hips arch into the touch spontaneously and a sigh bursts from me when my finger presses against my clit.“I’m so wet and needy, Aiden. Do you see?” I dip two fingers into my well of moisture and slowly drag them down the length of his cock, between his expanding testicles and down to his perineum. Aiden chokes on an awestruck gasp and his penis seems to be vibrating. It’s rock hard and fully erect, pressed against the soft skin of his abdomen.Soon I’ll indulge my desire to lick that gorgeous, velvety sheath.
