Chapter 3 What is it to you?

Kael’s P.O.V

“Who let a bruja into the Moon-Wolf Kingdom?” In my head, I sounded like a feral beast about to snap a human in half with my bare fucking hands, but in reality, my voice came out hoarse and weak as I slumped against the brick wall behind the pack house of my father’s prime minister to be.

“I am sorry, Alpha Prince Kael. This….” My righthand man, Caspian started in an apologetic tone but I cut him off with a harsh wave of my hand.

“Shut the hell up, pinche cabron.” I hissed, my breath seizing as another wave of lust and fucking arousal hit me square in the chest. “FUuuuuuck.” My cock swelled in my pants and my teeth almost broke in half from hard I gritted when my sensitive tip grazed the metal zipper.

Through red-hazed vision and a canopy of hair falling over my brow, I glanced up at Caspian. He looked extremely uncomfortable and I wanted to punch him the teeth so he understood what uncomfortable really fucking meant.

How this fucking happened, I had no idea. One moment, I had a warm body pressed up to mine as we swayed on the dance floor and the next, sharp female nails hooked into the side of my throat and clawed me hard enough to draw blood.

I pulled from my neck, the arms of the Alpha female whose name I really didn’t recall, pushing her roughly away. The beautiful woman landed flat on her ass on the polished marble floors but even my reflexes weren’t fast enough to locate the fucking woman who scratched me.

After apologizing to the woman who was now scowling daggers at me, I made my way to the restroom to dab at the blood, thinking it was just some psycho bitch but when the scratches on my neck stung and throbbed, panic bloomed in my chest. My thoughts seemed to be fuzzy around the edges—like they were just in front of me but once I reach for them, they dissolve.

“Carpolobia tinged with Wolfs Bane.” Caspian had said in a fear saturated tone once I’d stumbled out of the restroom and into his solid frame standing outside the doors. “It’s in the scratches on your neck.”

“Whoever scratched me must have had it on her fingernails. I thought it was just an old wives tale.” Scowling, I groggily fumbled my way outside the mansion, trying to make my eyes focus.

I’d reached up to touch my neck and winced. “Goddess, it really does fucking hurts.”

“It doesn’t grow around here, but it’s real enough. Witches used to plant it in their gardens to keep us out…wolves…like us.”

And that was why I yelled who the fuck allowed witches into my territory. Everyone knew they were outcasted from the Lycan communities due to their dark ways.

Now as my dick throbbed painfully in my pants and pain seared through my neck, I felt like I was on fire. My insides boiling so fucking hot.

“There’s only one way to let the poison out.” He moved from foot to foot.

“TALK.” I gritted, palming my dick through to hold back the fucking pain and arousal. It felt like all the horniness of my teenage years was pumped into one single day. It was horrible.

“You need to ejaculate into the body of a non-wolf.” He explained. “Their blood would detoxify yours and….”

“Shut. Up. And. Get. Me. A. Non. Fucking. Wolf.” With that, I forced the grogginess—will-fucking-power—and lifted to my feet. I knew my Beta would find a woman to help me relieve this…this need so I headed back to the room allocated to me in this pack.

It was a wonder I still remembered the way to the room but I did, all the while hopping uncomfortable due to the hardness in my pants.

This was the worst place this could happen. The Blood Mage pack. Because I hated it here. This was the worst place I could ever be and no matter how much I tried to reason with my father to allow me to skip out on this damned coronation, he refused.

Only one bloody reason made this place so vile to me. That mutt Axl. To make matters worse, her father and mine were best of friends. He was the Alpha of one of the packs under my Kingdom’s rule so I had to be here more times than I’d prefer.

I hated how she threw herself at me, not taking no for a fucking answer. Imagine how torturous it must have been for me to deal with puppy love affection from a child till when she blossomed into adulthood with that same fantasy that somehow both of us belonged together. It was laughably annoying really. How she think someone like me would agree to be mated to someone like her? A weak girl who could barely get a few words out without stumbling through her sentence. Ah most disgusting was her condition of wolflessness. Not having a wolf made her a mere human and that weak race made me gag and seethe with rage.

The mere knowledge of our mate bond planted a stronger seed of my hatred for her and I’d hoped to stave off rejecting the mate bond I had with her until I could find my second-chance mate and create a bond with her. Even if I don’t get another mate, I could simply select a Luna, but all before having to reject her.

This was because rejecting a mate bond weakens one's wolf—the only reason a stupid poison like an aphrodisiac plant and wolfsbane would work so easily on me. Anyway, why would I settle with her when I could get the perfect strong Luna who would both be beautiful and compatible with my powers?

Five minutes later, I lay in bed, eyes cinched tight from pain and a hand wrapped around my ridiculously hard cock, when three sharp knocks filtered through the door. Instantly, I snapped my fingers and the light in the room went off. Better.

“Come in.” I growled while stroking my cock in the dark.

I could make out the dark figure of my Beta as he walked in with a lumpy shape in his arms. “I found someone.”

“Get out and lock the door behind you.” I snapped at him and the bed bounced as he hastily dropped the strange female and did as I asked.

Like a man possessed, I lunged at the unconscious female and began tugging at her dress. As my hands made contact with her naked skin, I cursed long and hard, digging the heel of my palm into my cock. Fuck fuck fuck. I was already leaking precum like a fucking teenage boy.

As I took off the last bits of her underclothing, a wave of guilt washed over me and I closed my eyes for a moment. This wasn’t rape. I muttered to myself. It was just a means to an end and I wasn’t going to be exacting any pleasure from it. I needed her—whoever she was—to help me get rid of this poison.

I returned my hands to my body and that same jolt of arousal shot through me. Her skin was so soft and luscious and a part of me wished to turn on the lights so I could see whoever this was but I couldn’t. No woman had ever elicited such a response from me. She drove me crazy, so crazy, I sought her lips in the darkness and took them in a wet kiss that sent electricity buzzing under my skin. I wanted to tie this body to my bed and soak myself in her delicious-smelling skin for the rest of my life. Usually, I regarded myself as a modern man with no caveman tendencies but she brought the animal in me to life.

Forcing myself to let go of her lips, I spread her legs and positioned myself between her legs. Then just for my own curiosity, I ran a hand over her pussy, shocked to find it sopping wet. Oh fuck.

Clenching my teeth hard, I sunk into her in one swift thrust, letting out a string of curses as she sucked me into her. She was so tight. So fucking tight and hot. I never wanted to leave her.

When I lay breathless, spent, and strangely energized next to her limp body, that urge to see who she was and tell her how beautiful her body felt seized me again but I forced myself to remain still. It had to be impersonal or…fuck, I might never want to let her go again. Whoever this human was, I would compensate her dearly for her service. Glancing at her dark silhouette on her bed, I reached over and kissed her on the lips.

Then the door cracked open, letting in a sliver of light from the hallway. It was Caspian.

“We have to leave now, Alpha.” He said, averting his eyes.

Fuck he was right. Grumpily, I threw my clothes and walked out of the room. Then instructed my Beta to carefully take the female away from the room I’d occupied during my stay into any of the other rooms far away from here and then dropped a few bundles of money beside her.

Days later as I sat in my office, trying to concentrate on work, I found my thoughts drifting back to that strange girl. The mere thought of her naked body made my flesh as hard as steel.

“Alpha Prince Kael…” Caspian broke into my thought as he opened the door to my office, poking a head in. “May I come in?”

stamping down on the urge to scowl at him, I grumped.

“We were able to link the witch who poisoned you to the vampires.” He was saying but I really didn’t hear.

“Who is she?” I blurted instead.

“The witch?” he asked, opening his mouth to explain further…when I kissed my teeth.

“NO the human girl. The one you brought to me.”

“Oh. I don’t know.”

His words made my fists clench with irritation. “What do you mean you don’t know?”

He frowned deeply. “In all due respect Alpha, you wanted a body to release your poison and I found you one. Isn’t that what matters?”

This was my fucking prick not me. I wasn’t concerned about some human girl who gave me the best orgasm of my life… no I wasn’t.

Fuck. But I was.
