The Apple Of His Eye

Chapter 16 The Mating

*Warning Mature Content*

Ace's POV

It's a good thing Kaylee didn't ask Nanook to help her take her dress off. He would have gladly cut it off with his teeth. As I started to take her dress off, I could smell her sweet honey arousal. Nanook wanted to take her right here in the grass, but I knew that's not what she wanted for her first time. I couldn't blame her for her desire because I had a hard-on ever since I watched her walk down the aisle. Nanook was taking control, and I didn't want him to be too rough with her. Instinct started to kick in, and I ran away from her as I shifted.

A few minutes later, Pearl joined me at the front of the pack. Everyone had shifted and were ready to run. Running together will unite our territory along with Alpha Samuel's. All of the members involved in the run will affirm Kaylee as Luna. Nanook positioned himself in front of Pearl and bit her in the neck. He was marking her for all to see. After he bit her, Nanook gently licks her neck to seal the wound. Pearl also bites Nanook's neck, placing her mark on him. Howls of joy erupt all over the field.

"Let's run," Nanook ordered.

We start to run as a unified pack until we reach the edge of the forest. Then the couples began to split off and went in separate directions. Nanook was taking Pearl back to Crystal Lake. To mate with her under the apple tree where they first met. I decided to close off the mind link, allowing Nanook and Pearl to have their alone time. I didn't care to watch their animalistic behavior. Pearl was Nanooks's bride, and they would complete the first half of the mating ritual.

Kaylee's POV

It felt so good to let Pearl run free after several days of not shifting. Gazing into the lake, I was able to see my reflection. I was so proud to wear the Alpha Kings mark. Laying next to Nanook in the cool grass gave me so much comfort. I should have been terrified of the most feared Alpha werewolf, but I knew he would never hurt me. My heat would come in the next week or two, and I would gladly bear his pups. In the back of my mind, I knew that he would have to leave in the morning for who knows how long. Tonight would be our first and last night together until the war was over.

Before it got too late, Nanook and Pearl ran back to the Castle. Nanook and Pearl both shifted together behind the trees. It felt so awkward to have Ace see me completely naked for the first time. I fully realized that we were married, but this was going to be my first time. Ace made me feel safe in his arms, and I knew he would never leave me. We found some soft white bathrobes left under a tree for us. As I was putting my bathrobe on, I felt Ace grab my hand. "Come, My Sweetness, into my chambers." He pulled me half running into the Castle and laughing all the way (probably because I was so nervous). We ran past the Castle staff still cleaning up after the ceremony. Sweeping me off my feet bridal style, he carried me into our room.

Candles were burning on different levels all around us. Red rose petals sprinkled on top of the bed. He started to kiss me passionately with me in his arms. I couldn't help but feel self-conscious of my body. We had had a long day and a night run. I wanted a shower and to feel clean before we were intimate.

He gently placed my feet back on the ground, and I asked him to give me a minute in the bathroom. "Of course," and he walked me over to the door. I was so surprised to see such a lavish bathroom, complete with a massive shower with lots of shower-heads. In the corner was a beautiful spa bathtub big enough for two.

"Ace, can we take a bath together first?"

"Mmmmm, that sounds nice." After a quick kiss, he turned on the bathwater and poured in some relaxing lavender bubble bath.

This bath was a win-win for me. First, I get to feel clean, and second I can unwind these anxious nerves.

Ace lit some candles and turned off the lights. He took his robe off and got into the tub first. I timidly took my robe off too and got into the tub facing him. It felt so good to talk about all the events of the day. We started massaging each other's feet. The hot water soaked away my anxiety and gave me a new confidence. I changed my position in the tub, so my back was lying against his chest. Wrapping his arms around my arms, I laid my head back against his neck. He started kissing and lightly sucking on my neck. I let his hand drift over and cup my breast. My heart was beating so fast I could barely breathe. Using his other hand, he reached down to rub my most sensitive area. I had never felt such intense pleasure before. Moans escaped my mouth as I tried to catch my breath. I could feel his hard c**k pressed against my back, wondering how it was going to fit inside me.

"Don't worry, My Queen, he was made just for you."

"Wait, did you mind-link with me?"

"I did, and you will learn to mind-link with me as well. Now let's take this to the bed."

He helped me out of the tub with a towel in hand. I dried off quickly and walked toward our bed. He spun me around, pressing his lips to mine. The backward momentum caused us to fall onto the bed. While he kissed me, I could feel all of his lust and desire. Pushing off of the bed slightly, he took off the towel that clung to my body. Slowly we slid under the silk sheets with him on top of me. Ace's strong arms on each side of my head made me feel safe and secure. I was feeling his stiff member at my opening, begging for entrance. My core was dripping wet, allowing him to slip right inside. The feeling was amazing, no pain, only pleasure. I could feel my muscles tighten around him as he thrust in and out. Warmth flooded between my legs as I was going to climax. Ace lowered his face to my neck with his canines protruding. The puncturing of my skin was painful, followed by pure bliss and release. When my senses returned, I placed my mouth on his neck and bit him as he filled me with his warm c*m. He softly growled at the pain, and then he was panting with enjoyment. Completely satisfied, he laid his body down on mine, kissing and licking my mark.

Holding me in his arms, he gently stroked my hair. "I have a present waiting for you on the table, but you can't open it until tomorrow morning after I have gone."

"Ace, I didn't get you a present. I'm so sorry."

"My Sweetness, you are my gift. You saved yourself for me. That's the best present I could ever ask for."
