After lunch, Ezra and I walked around the dining hall, which has now turned into a meeting of the minds. I ran into a few people I knew from travels with my mom and dad. Trying to not make this moment about me for Adir’s sake and do my duty as the Alpha sister and make connections with Lunas. This also happens to be Ezra's first summit as well, so I guess if all works out mingling would help him out in the future.
Unfortunately, almost the entire time I could feel eyes on me, I just knew it was Casey. I refused to look in his direction and give him the satisfaction. I honestly only had myself to blame.
Eventually, Ezra grabbed my hand and ever so slightly, pulled me closer and asked if I wanted to go back on the balcony and get some fresh air.
I was more than pleased to do so. I broke out into a wide smile. These tingles were amazing. Growing up I heard about them, and even Adir and Maikiah tried to explain. Not a single explanation could compare to this feeling. I loved it and maybe having a mate is worth it, if not for this feeling alone.
“Oh, man this is the hardest part of being an Alpha for me”. He said blowing out an exasperated breath.
“ Do you not like people”? I inquired.
It’s not that I don’t like people per se, he looked around trying to find the words, I guess you can say I don’t like Alphas” he said staring at me intensely.
“WOW? Ok but you’re an Alpha”. I said stating the obvious.
“Yes, I wasn’t bread to be one, or at least not this soon. Edmond and I weren't really on good terms for awhile I was a bastard and he was an stubborn Alpha. It took awhile for me to be trained to be Alpha.Even then I didn't expect the seat i just did it to have experience. I didn’t receive that training until after my uncle took me in at 15 after my mother passed”. He looked so sad after mentioning her.
“W- what was her name”? I ask softly taking a step closer to him.
“It was Emere… Emere Akana”. He stated, and I could see the mix of emotions in his gaze
“ It’s a beautiful name, I’m sure she was a beautiful woman”
“She was…” he trailed off.
Trying to lighten the mood just a little, and switch gears. Though I’m super curious I don’t think this is the appropriate venue to learn of his mother’s death. Or bypass that statement made about his dad.
“Do you realize we all have ‘E’ names”. I say chucking softly.
“Actually I did the moment I found out your real name,” he said countering my chuckle. And closing in the space between us.
“That’s Not, a tradition I want to carry on when we have our pups”. He said and gently gripped my chin.
Our pups?… I’m not sure if I’m ready or not to have them. But thinking about the act of making them, has me clenching my thighs together. This Polynesian god has no idea what he’s doing to me. Then he smirks. Oh well, maybe he does.
“May I kiss you”. He says to me, in a gruff but sensual way, as if it's taking all his control, not to just do it.
“f**k yes,” Accalia screams in my head.
“I thought you’d never as-“. His soft lips cut me off, landing on my own. As he moved from my chin to cupping my face. His lips are so soft it's unreal. He started soft and passionate. It slowly starts to move in the direction of ravenous. I parted my lips so slightly, letting a moan slip past my lips. He slipped his tongue in and goddess if he didn’t taste good.
Enjoying this sweet abyss of pleasure, I almost missed, the sound of someone clearing their throat.
“We need to speak now”. Adir said with all the fun removed from his voice. If that didn’t tell me it was serious. Casey’s menacing growl had the promise of death all over it. This can't be good
“WHAT”?
