CHAPTER FIVE.

Reign pushed the doubled door open with both her hands and the room came into view. It was very spacious. Her eyes never reached the end of it. The colors she saw surprised her. She had expected everything to be in black or red since he had a spooky aura around him wherever he went, but she was actually surprised to see that the theme colors of his bedroom are gray and forest green. She stepped away from the doorway and closed the door behind her. Her eyes did a quick scan of the bedroom and She was tempted to admire how beautiful and organized the spacious bedroom was, but when she remembered what she was about to experience in there, she didn't find it in her to admire anything.

“You are here.” Alpha Kai announced and the sound of his voice sent shivers down her spine. She almost trembled as she turned to look in the direction of his voice. He was standing by the bedpost, wearing just a pair of shorts and had a blank countenance. For no reason at all, her eyes dropped to his crotch, expecting to see a bulge, but it was flat. “I know for a fact that you are neither deaf nor dumb, so when I speak to you, I need you to reply to me. Are we clear on that?” His voice was calm, but authoritative. Dangerous if she could add. She found herself nodding like a lizard.

“Yes, Alpha.” She replied and stayed glued to her spot, ready to execute the orders about to be thrown in her way. She clamped her hands together and intertwined her fingers. The servants who had attended to her made her wear the scantiest clothes she had ever seen in her entire life. She was wearing a black lingerie and black see-through nightdress over it that had tiny ropes for sleeves and ended mid thigh. She had only seen such a dress on TV and shopping websites. She felt naked in front of him.

“That said and understood, get on the bed.” An ache developed in the pit of her stomach that corroded her nerves. She could feel his gaze touching every part of her skin. Her legs carried her all the way to the king sized bed at the center of the room where she stood by the bedpost and faced him. “Strip.” Alpha Kai commanded and her heart went erratic. She wanted to object. She wanted to turn around and run away, but she knew doing anything of that sort would only put her in an even more difficult position, so she hesitantly began taking off the scanty clothes she had on.

Alpha Kai stood at a distance and watched her strip with a smirk on his face. He was loving every bit of what he was making her do. He knew he was torturing her. He could see it in her eyes and her body language. She was scared for her life. She was terrified of him. That brought him so much satisfaction because that’s exactly what he wanted; For Reign to be scared of him for the rest of her life. His jaw dropped when the last fabric on her body fell on the floor. He transfixed his eyes on her body, drinking in her sight and basking himself in the glory of her nakedness. She was tall and slender. Her tits were enhanced and firm. Without the lingeries, they sat lower, more natural, less together and perfectly molded with her frame. Her nipples were teardrop shaped and looked hard. Alpha Kai swallowed and his cock twitched in his pants. He was aroused just by the sight of her. His eyes dropped from her breasts to her stomach that was almost in her back and then her legs that looked like giant noodles. She was perfect and there was nothing more bewitching than her naked form.

Reign could feel his piercing gaze on her body. She wanted to cover herself with her hands, but she knew that would be useless. The crotch that was flat a while ago had a bulge at that moment. It made her understand that Alpha Kai was ready to take her.

“Perfect.” He murmured under his breath and she saw something like a smile form at the side of his lips, but it disappeared as soon as it formed. She stood perfectly still and watched him close the distance between them. “You are perfect.” Reign swallowed the needles that had formed in her throat. She didn’t know if that was a compliment or a mockery. Her breathing seized when he placed his index finger on her forehead and drew a line down the ridge between her eyes, on her nose, her lips, her chin, her neck and she shuddered when it reached her cleavage. He smiled, but did not stop. He continued down her belly to her v-region where he brushed two more fingers over her sensitive folds. Sparkles exploded in her body. She bit in a moan. Her body was on fire. “Get on the bed.” Another calm instruction came and she breathed hard because she knew the real deal was about to begin. She gently lowered herself on the bed behind and placed both hands on it by her side. With her weight resting on her hands, she shifted her butt further onto the bed until she was now laying at the center of it. She watched in horror as Alpha Kai took off his pants. His cock sprung out free. Her hands flew to her mouth to stop herself from screaming. He was fully erected and huge. “Do you see the effect you have on me?” He asked, coming close and Reign couldn’t take eyes off of it. That was the first time she was seeing a live dick and she wasn’t sure a dick as big as that was going to fit in her pussy. It was brown and thick and she could see a few veins on it as it was erected. “Do you want to touch it?” Alpha Kai asked with a cocky smile. She shook her head so hard it almost fell off her neck. “Your loss.” He shrugged his shoulders and joined her on the bed. On his knees, he parted her legs together and settled between her thighs. Reign’s lungs were swinging from her rib cage, making it hard for her to breath. As he hovered over her, she could feel the pressure of his dick at her entrance. Her head was spinning with a rush of adrenaline making her body shiver.

Alpha Kai looked down at her with warm brown eyes. Her bones began buckling, snapping in synchronicity with her heartbeats. She wasn’t ready and she wanted to tell him, but she was too scared of the consequences she might face.

He lowered his face and connected their lips together. She closed her eyes and let him kiss her. His lips were warm and tasted like strawberries. His tongue thrust deep into her mouth, while lips explored every inch of hers. His hands left the side of her ear and cupped her breast, gently stroking her teardrop nipples. She flexed her body and moaned into his mouth.

She didn’t want it to feel good, but it did. With each caress and stroke and of her nipple, fireworks exploded in her body and before she knew it she was kissing him back. His hand left her breast and went down further to her v-region and between her legs where it brushed over her sensitive folds again. His fingers dug deeper, searching for something and when they found it, they pressed hard on it. She shrieked under his body and another loud moan escaped her lips. He was breathing faster than she was and suddenly his lips were on her neck. She gasped and clutched at his arms, wrangling her body and moaning breathlessly as his fingers did a circular clockwise motion on her clit. The feeling was explicit. She felt like fireworks and dynamites were exploding in her body at the same time. He was touching her, sucking her breasts and she was thunder and lightning and wondering if it was okay that she was enjoying it.

She felt like she was going to die of Euphoria.

As he stroked her, she could feel pressure building in the pit of her stomach. Her muscles tightened, her back arched. She gripped the sheets, digging her face into the pillows by her side. She was moaning in pleasure with her eyes wide open. She felt like in the next one second, if Alpha Kai kept doing what he was doing, her pussy was going to detonate. Then, everything stopped. She snapped her eyes open and they met Alpha Kai’s emotionless face. He had stopped stroking her clit and sucking her breast and the exquisite feeling had died down.

He had just deprived her of her first ever orgasm.

“I’m not going to give it to you yet.” Shame covered very inch of her body. She couldn’t believe she was enjoying all of that. Alpha Kai wrapped his fingers around his dick and calmly stroke it. There was a clear white liquid smeared all over it and his breathing accelerated as he stroke himself. When he was done, he parted Reign's legs to give him space and crowned her entrance. She threw her head back and gasped in shock. He was as hard as a tree trunk. She tried to close her legs, but Alpha Kai kept them apart and rode on with the penetration.

“Oh, my God!” She cried, almost breathless. Alpha Kai seemed to be doing his best to penetrate her slowly, but it still hurt. He hovered over her body and planted a light kiss on her forehead, still struggling to break her barrier. Reign squeezed her eyes shut, snapped them open, dug her nails into the sheets, turned her head from side to side and moaned loudly as Alpha Kai put his dick in and out of her, trying to create an entrance. He wasn’t even half in yet. It felt like he had reached a sticking point where he couldn’t go any further, but he knew what he had to do.

“Look at me.” His voice was low. Reign looked at him with glassy eyes. He captured her lips in a slow passionate kiss and with one hard thrust, he broke the barrier and settled comfortable in her. All hell broke loose. Reign screamed in his mouth and tried to fight him off. Pain seared through her body. Her pussy felt like it was being ripped apart. She wriggled her body, but his strong hold kept her still.

“It hurts.” She cried in his mouth. He didn’t stop kissing her. He didn’t stop thrusting into her. It was slow and steady. Reign could feel every inch of his dick. It filled her to the hilt. As he thrust in and out, her body felt like she was on fire and soon, she could feel something else other than pain.

Pleasure.

Warmth.

Passion.

She opened her eyes and all she saw was colors flashing in her brain. Alpha Kai was digging in and out of her, kissing her ferociously and touching her in ways she had never been touched before. She couldn’t think of anything else, but that moment and the feel of his dick in her pussy. Every thrust felt like a wave hitting her at a seashore. The same pressure she had felt a while ago came building again in her stomach and all over her body. She moved her pelvis in circular motion, begging for more. Her breathing became more rapid and the colours flashing in her eyes became black. She was dark with desire. She could feel her climax approaching. She looked at Alpha Kai, but couldn’t see him because everything had gone black. With one hard thrust, she came. Her body quivered and she screamed in pleasure. Alpha Kai stayed still and let her enjoy the best ten seconds of her life. She wiggled her legs, arched her back, pulled the sheets and screamed as she came. After which her breathing calmed down and she could now see clearly.

Alpha Kai got out of her and lay on the bed by her side.

“Next time, I won’t be this gentle. Leave.” She felt like every fist in the world had decided to punch her at the same time. Tears stung in her eyes. Shame washed through her entire being and existence. Calmly, quietly, she stepped down from the bed, put on her clothes and exited the bedroom.

The moment the door closed behind her, Alpha Kai sat upright and closed his eyes.

“Tegan, come to my bedroom immediately!”

    CHAPTER SIX.Tegan walked into the bedroom dressed in red lingerie. She knew why she had been summoned, so she proceeded to do what she had been doing for the past five years. Alpha Kai lay on the bed on his back and his eyes on the chandelier above. He had been gentle with Reign because he knew that was her first time. He didn’t want to hurt her too much. He didn’t even manage to cum once because he didn’t fuck her like he was supposed to. “Alpha Kai, I'm ready.” Tegan’s voice interrupted his thoughts. He looked at her naked self, but it did not entice her as much as Reign’s body did and he knew why. It was because Reign was his mate. He was attracted to everything that had to do with her. He sighed and beckoned Tegan to join him on the bed, which she did. His dick was still fully erected and ready to be shoved into Tegan’s pussy. She stretched her hand to touch it, but he caught it midair and shook his head. She squinted in surprise and gasped when he rose and turned her to the bed,

The temperature of the water had dropped significantly and she was now seating in cold water, but she didn’t realise that because she was absorbed in her thoughts. Memories of everything that had just transpired between her and Alpha Kai were flooding her mind, almost submerging her. They sent shivers to the tip of her toes and fingers. She unconsciously brought her fingers to her lips and touched them. As she swiped her tongue over her bottom lip, she could taste him. His scent was all over body, raiding her mind. She could see him kissing her ferociously as he thrust deep into her, almost knocking the air out of her lungs. The entire experience had been overwhelming, it made her body tingle. Before leaving the bedroom for Alpha Kai’s, she had put in her mind that she was going to get raped. She had imagined him furiously ripping her clothes apart and fucking her until she lost consciousn

His cock touching the walls of her vagina, stretching her, making her body go in a frenzy. She could feel an orgasm mounting. It was her third that night. Her mind was foggy. Her eyes filled with white clouds. She couldn’t see. She couldn’t think. She could only feel the sweetness and satisfaction of the cock that was plunging deep into her. It was exhilarating. She spread her legs wider to give him more access to go deeper into her. Her toes curled in the air when he did. Her body constricted in his arms. Her fingers dug into his hair and her face was buried in his neck, her teeth giving him hickeys. She had never felt anything so good before. She felt like an itch was being scratched and kissed and scratched again. So satisfying.“Oh my God, I’m going to cum.” She cried and squeezed her legs tight. Alpha Kai part them and pumped in harder.

He had no idea how he had survived her presence, but he congratulated himself for keeping a stern, emotionless look through out their conversation.Seeing her again after the heated sex they had last night made his body heat up. He was sure to combust if he had spent another moment in that bedroom with her. Seeing her looking all gorgeous and innocent in her pyjamas made him want to carry her to the bed and fuck her all over again. His heart tingled at the thought of that.The previous night, with her was the best night of his life. He enjoyed having sex with her so much and the fact that he was the first man to have her made him want to sing. Five years ago, Tegan came to him as a vi

    CHAPTER TEN.Tegan once more cried all the way to her bedroom. Her life was gradually becoming a living hell in that castle. Her heart constricted. It hurt like it was being cracked open by an ax. Her head was so heavy, she felt like it would fall off from her neck. Her eyes hurt from crying too much and her throat felt sore from all the shouting and swallowing she did back there. It was like she had swallowed one hundred toothpicks at once. She leaned on her closed door and dragged her body all the way down to the floor. Suddenly, the numbness of her body began dissipating. Her blood pressure rose and anger made its way to the forefront of her consciousness. She snapped her head up and looked ahead.“I have to stay strong.” She murmured. “I can’t let that girl win and most importantly I cannot afford to offend Alpha Kai to the point where he kicks me out of this castle. That will be the end for me. Father will have me punished severely. He has planned this for a very long time. I can’

First, she had told Alpha Kai what his mistress had done to her, but he dismissed it like nothing had happened and proceeded with presenting her with marriage certificates to sign. That shook her to the core. She didn’t want to sign it at first, but she asked the question about what he was going to do if he found out she was innocent, she saw something snap within him that made her want to actually prove him wrong. She was determined to stay in that castle, overcome all the trials and tribulations and try all she could to prove to the Alpha that her parents had no hand in his mother’s death.She sighed for the umpteenth time and tried to focus on the TV show playing before her. She was bored of watching TV all day, but she didn’t think of anything else to do that would not make her run into trouble. The idea of going outside to get some fresh air sounded really pleasant, but everyone around see

Take them out and have them washed.” He ordered and disappeared into the bathroom. Reign stood there, nervous as fuck. She looked at the bathroom door that closed behind Alpha Kai and sighed.She wasn’t used to all that. Never in her life had she had to serve anyone. She was Royalty. A future Alpha and just a few days back, she had servants attending to every need of hers. All of that changed within the twinkle of an eye. She was in a pack where no one seemed to like her and now she was the Alpha’s personal maid with no experience of how to serve anyone.“For mum and dad.” She whispered and went into the closet. Her eyes widened when she saw the perfectly organised state of the closet. First, it was large and had several shelves, both big and small. It was separated into various compartments.

Both Baldwin and the Omega of the pack greeted in unison as he walked into his office.He was feeling very enthusiastic that morning because he had solved one big problem, which was getting his mate's parents to forgive him. Not only were they on good terms now, but they had also promised to assist him in fighting against Alpha Mason."Good morning Baldwin, Conrad. Please take your seats." He showed them the sofas and they did as told. He sat on the sofa across from them and spread out the rolled-up paper he had in his hand. It was a map."A map?" Asked Baldwin. Alpha Kai nodded."The map of the Blood Claw castle. It shows us every strategic corner and point of the castle where he positions soldiers who are always ready for any sort of ambush. If we study this map carefully, we can come up with a way to ambush that castle without losing any len to surprise comebacks.""I'm not going to ask how you got this map, but it's bri
