All Chapters of Mated To The Alpha: Fated To The Lycan King : Chapter 11 - Chapter 20

Kaiden's POVI needed her desperately. Terribly. Madly.Bailing out of the dinner that I had basically planned for myself wasn't something I wanted to do, but things took a turn for the worse when I realized my wolf had started to go crazy.I'd heard about the heat before, but I never imagined that it could be so terrible. All I could think about since morning was Rayne, about her lips, her face . . . Among other things that I didn't want my mind to dwell too much on.In all of this, I had to keep myself sane. Even if there was definitely no doubt about it now that we were mates, I still had to consider what she wanted. I'd seen the look in her eyes that morning. She craved my touch no more than how much I wanted to grant it to her. Her eyes were filled with so much turmoil, and that had been enough to convince me of the fact that I couldn't just think about myself in all of this.We were mates, but she wasn't an object. I could claim her whenever I wanted, but, from the little I'd s

Kaiden's POVOn waking up, I realized that the other side of the bed still oozed her warmth.Obviously, I'd noticed when she tried to sneak away from me, but I had the feeling that she didn't want me to know. Also, pretending to be asleep gave me the opportunity to bask in her scent a little bit longer.The night had been something I considered unforgettable. A once-in-a-lifetime kind of experience. So many times, I had to stop myself from marking her as mine, even though my wolf wanted it more than anything else. Every part of her had been so soft and delicate, but fit perfectly with my hardness. I never wanted to be separated from her, but apparently, she didn't feel the same way.There was no way I could go back to living like nothing had happened after this. Especially when I knew that I'd been the one to take her maidenhead. If I had known, maybe I would have fought harder to keep myself in check. Maybe I wouldn't have been so quick to lose myself in her beauty scent and liveli

Kaiden's POVWhy did everything I ever truly desire have to be so hard to attain? Why couldn't things have been so easy for me since I was born? Did I anger the goddess? Did I scorn someone in a previous lifetime?“Bradford, this isn't funny.”He looked up from his glass of cranberry juice and cleared his throat. “I told you that a hasty approach wasn't going to make things easy for you. But like you always do, you act like you are so perfect and make no mistakes when in fact, you do.”My thumb and forefinger pinched the bridge of my nose. “Look, I know that you warned me against being too forward, but I haven't done anything . . .” I trailed off when the memory of us tangled in bed together flashed against my mind like a white-hot reminder. Bradford paused. “What's that look on your face, Kaiden?”I whistled. Telling him would further give him more reasons to scold me like I was a little child that needed guidance. He would lose his head if he knew that I'd already jumped the gun.B

Rayne's POVReturning to Oceanpearl Pack meant that I had to once again return to my old self. The one that barely smiled and had to force them when faced with people. I had barely lasted five minutes at the little welcome party that had been thrown for Reynolds' and I, before I slipped away to get some much needed rest. Two days after that, work began again. Things changed in some ways, and remained the same in others. Reynolds passed on the announcement that the alliance had been successful, and he now basically stood as the second in command to Kaiden. Of course, this was bound to create a shift in the balance of power within the pack. Those that supported Reynolds were happy with the decision, and others that didn't, could only whine and mumble their grievances. As for me, it meant even more work, because a rise in power meant a rise in responsibilities. Packs from other territories soon started to send in correspondence, wanting to get into Oceanpearl's good graces. Even thos

Kaiden's POVThings didn't feel the way they once did. Days passed by in a monotonous blur, bringing me little to no joy. I couldn't even close my eyes at night without my thoughts drifting to Rayne. Yes, an alliance had been created, and yes, it meant that once in a while I could have expected to see her, but it still wasn't enough. There was a gloomy atmosphere that had descended upon me since the day she had left. I went about my normal duties, but with the feeling that something was out of place. Savannah often asked me why I had become even more withdrawn, but I couldn't bring all my emotions into words. No one would be able to fully comprehend what happened within me.In some way, it was like I had been whole for a brief while. With her gone, my life felt split in two. I could pretend all I wanted, but truly, I needed her by my side. I wanted to feel the sensation of her body against mine once again, to feel her pulse beating against her skin. I needed to see her beautiful smil
