My eyes opened and I looked around. My body felt sore...deliciously sore. I remembered where I was and what happened last night. Feelings of doubt started creeping in and I wondered if I did the right thing. Forgiving what he had done to me and just accepting it like that...somehow, it felt like a wrong decision to make. I sat up in bed and I looked around. The room was empty, the other side of the bed was cold. Must have been a long time since he left the room. Again, my feeling of doubt increased. What if he left because he regretted what happened last night? I tugged at the strands of my hair. If I had seen him as I woke up, I would have been sure of what he thought about last night. Suddenly feeling annoyed, I stood from the bed. My legs wiggled a bit but I got a grip of myself. I wanted to be out of the room immediately. I found my dress discarded on the floor and I grabbed it, quickly putting it on. I marched to the door, throwing it open. I stood just at the front, staring at
The rest of the day passed by in a blur. Soon, it was time for Eleanor to leave and I had to return to the bedroom. Juanita was keeping Alaric occupied while I tidied the room. For the rest of the day, I still thought about Hannah's parents and their real intention of visiting. I took a shower after giving him his bath. Juanita was attempting to feed him so he could get used to her when a knock came from the door. I went to answer and I was surprised to see the king smiling at me. He drew closer and cupped my chin, kissing me softly. Our tongues entangled and I wrapped my arms around him, getting lost in the kiss until I remembered Juanita and Alaric were inside the room. I quickly pulled away and he stared at me in confusion. I walked further out of the door and closed it. “Alaric and Juanita,” I said and he nodded with a smile. “Why are you here?” I asked after a breath. I thought he regretted the night and…“What do you mean?” I folded my arms as I answered. “You left…you didn't
KING TYRON's POVThe weeks went by faster than I could blink. It was the best time I had experienced in a long while. For a moment, I did not feel regret about my decision with Nevaeh.Oftentimes, I wondered how I had been able to avoid her when she first arrived at the castle because right now, all I could think about was her. And how to get my work done quickly so that I could be with her. I even considered abandoning all my duties just to spend time with her and Alaric. He had grown on me in the past few weeks.I was obsessed with spending time with her and it wasn't only about sex. It was just being in her mere presence, being around her, and just enjoying the comfort that came with being next to her.Her warmth, her touch... At this rate, u was going crazy with just the need to be around her. Today, she was outdoors. Somehow, she had ended up just under my window and I spent more time watching what they were doing than on the meeting I was supposed to be having with my men and a
I have grown accustomed to seeing the king every day and being around him that I was thinking of how difficult it'll be now he'll be away. Did he really have to go? I asked myself. I couldn't even get to ask him if I could go with him before he vanished. "What has you lost in thought?" Eleanor nudged me. "Nothing. Can we go back indoors?""Not yet. It's hot inside. You were happy to be outside a few minutes ago. Why did your mood change? Is this because the king is no longer around?" I said nothing. "Come on cheer up. He'll go out from time to time. Will you always be moody""I'm not moody," I said with a scowl, not convincing anyone otherwise. "I'm really happy at the change in your relationship" Eleanor suddenly said to me and I turned to fully face her. "What do you mean?" "I've always known you were the king's mate from the moment Patrick hired me. I was shocked because the pack heard no news of the king finding his mate when it was supposed to be the biggest news. Arriving
KING TYRON's POVJace struggled under my hold, his fingers going around my wrist and trying to pull me off him. Seeing that he wasn't a threat, I instantly let go of him and took a step back.He coughed violently after I let go of him. "What are you doing here?" I asked and he got to his feet, still coughing while holding onto his neck.To think that there has been a search for him for a while and he shows up in our hands just like that."I heard there was a bounty on my head""Bounty?" I looked at Franklin who was staring blankly at Jace."Yes. A reward if I'm found..."Dead or alive. That's how bounties worked."You put a bounty for Jace?""That was the easiest way to find him. If people were interested in a reward, they'll do anything to find him""Why the fuck are you looking for me?" Jace snarled at Franklin and I decided to intervene."I'm the one who asked him to find you. Cassius will escort you back to the pack and I'll have a word with you once I return""Why do you want t
I didn't have to wait for so long when Hermes reappeared. Since he already asked me to pack, my bags were ready. Just a slight back with a few of my things and Alaric's things as well. Eleanor was surprised by the sudden trip but she was also happy that I was getting out of the house and she forced me to promise that I would make an attempt to join the baby's games. I gave her my word and then she left with Victoria. Hermes reappeared again. "I don't know if this is a good idea. I was unable to reach either the king or Cassius so he's still not aware of your travel. Are you sure you still want to go to the blood wave? I know he won't be gone for long so he'll be back soon" Even the king didn't know when he would be back. I was done thinking, if I had to consider my decision one more time, I may change my mind and not go to see the king. So no more thinking for me. I made my decision already. I was going to see him. I needed to see him. He's only be gone for a few hours. Why do you ne
He leaned in and planted kisses along my collarbone and slid my blouse off my shoulders. Then he followed the path again, with lips this time, inching along my collarbones with wet kisses.His fingers found a nipple and squeezed it through the fabric, pain zapped through me as the sensation spread through my body. His tongue circled it, then his teeth grazed against it, then his lips widened to take in more, each move slow and deliberate. He pulled back and puckered his lips; a stream of cool breath teased the hardening nipple, an effect he accelerated with a flick of a tongue. He moved to the other breast. But instead of taking the nipple into his mouth, he lifted the band of my bra and traced the underside of my breast with the tip of his tongue. My skin flushed and my breathing was uneven. The sight and the feel of Tyron tasting me was euphoric His arms encircled me briefly. A quick motion of his fingers along my back, and the bra was loose and discarded. His hand claimed one br
I woke up surrounded by the familiar warmth I was used to. Tyron's thick large arms wrapped around me like a comfort blanket. A slow smile spread on my face and I moved impossibly closer in his arms. "Are you awake?" His gruff voice had me clenching my thighs and he hugged me impossibly tighter."How long have you been awake" he was an early riser and most often, we didn't wake up together because he had to rush off to attend to something. "Did you finish up what you had to do yesterday?" I asked, lazily running my hand across his hard chest.His fingers threaded through my hair."No. I still have to take care of it today""That means you'll be leaving?" My mood did a while drop. I was enjoying this moment and it was sad that he would be leaving soon."But not now. I want to stay with you like this....just enjoying the moment" The last part was so low that I almost missed it. I felt giddy inside. Happy that he also wanted to stay with me like this. I enjoyed moments like this. Ther
