CHLEO
We talked some more about our families and afterward we went back to the hotel. He walked me to my door and even though I knew he wanted to kiss me, he didn’t. When Killian first told me I was meeting his sister, I was thrilled, but after our date was over and I was in my room, alone, I got in my head. Jillian is a princess and I was a nobody from a small pack. My mind went through all of the different scenarios of what could happen. I tossed and turned all night, so much so I didn’t dream about Killian at all, which, to be honest, was disappointing.
The next morning Killian was at my door with a tray of pancakes, eggs, bacon, and orange juice; he wanted to have breakfast in bed with me before he had to meet with the other Alphas. “How’d you sleep?” He asked before kissing my forehead.
“Not great,” I admitted. He just stared at me, waiting for me to continue. “I’m scared about meeting your sister, alright?”
He started laughing. “Why? She’s just like me, only in woman form.”
“She’s a princess, Killian,” I stated.
“So,” he said, “you’re the Queen.”
“I’m not the Queen, yet,” I said, “and what if she doesn’t like me?”
“Chleo, Little Star, Jillian will love you. She’s waited years for me to find my mate. All she wants is happiness for us both, like she has with Greg.” He put his finger under my chin and tilted my head up to look at him. “I promise, everything will be great. She’s excited to have a sister.”
“I hope you’re right,” I said, “because I’ve heard that if the siblings don’t like the wife, it causes problems.”
“Hmm,” he said, “I like that word.”
“What word?”
“Wife,” he said. “Because that’s what you will be, my wife, and I’ll be your husband. Shortly after, hopefully, we’ll be parents.”
“Don’t get ahead of yourself, mister,” I said. “We’re not even mated yet, kids are going to have to wait.”
“Are you on birth control?” He asked.
“Yes,” I told him. “I get the shot.”
“When was your last dose?”
“Three weeks ago.”
“Don’t go for your next one.”
“Killian,” I said, agitated, “my next shot is scheduled in nine weeks. We don’t even know each other.”
“Fine, one more dose, but then no more.”
I stuck my tongue out at him and that action sparked something feral inside of him and within seconds I was on my back with my wrists pinned above my head with his hand, his mouth mere inches from mine.
“Killian, what are you doing?”
“Stick your tongue out again, and find out?”
Feeling playful, and maybe a little frisky, I repeated the action. Killian growled and his lips crashed onto mine. Instead of fighting him, which I assumed he thought would happen, I leaned into his kiss, and opened my mouth to give him access. His tongue danced with mine and the sound of our combined moans filled the room. He left go of my wrists and I slipped my fingers into his hair, deepening the kiss while his hands went to my thighs, pulling them apart and wrapping them around his waist. I could feel his c**k pressing against my c**t through my panties and I groaned.
Panting, Killing pulled back, just a little and looked at me. “Chleo,” he said, breathing heavily, “if we don’t stop now, I won’t be able to control myself. You’re soaked and my wolf is desperate for me to claim you.”
My eyes widened. “What?”
“I’m not going to bite you, not until our ceremony, but I want to f**k you and I don’t have time to do so properly,” he said. “So tell me to stop.”
“I,” I mumbled, “I know we should, but I don’t want to.” I don’t either, my wolf said, we need to mate. “My wolf is pushing for this, too.”
“I want you, so bad, Little Star,” he said, pressing his forehead to mine. “If I didn’t have pressing responsibilities today, I’d stay right here and worship your body the way you deserve.”
“I like that,” I said, “the idea of my King worshipping me.”
“You are the only one I will worship,” he said. He tilted his head down and nipped at my shoulder, forcing a small yipping sound out of me. “Don’t make sounds like that, Chleo, I might just forget I have somewhere to be and you have lunch with my sister in two hours.”
He sat up abruptly, my legs were still wrapped around his hips and my oversized t-shirt was pushed up, revealing everything but my breasts. I tried to slide it back down, but he stopped me. “Nope, I want to look at you.” He slid his hands gently over my skin, leaving goosebumps in their wake. I started to move, grinding my core against him. “You’re playing a dangerous game, Little Star.”
I giggled at him. “If you don’t play fair, why should I?”
“Touché, my Queen,” he said and jumped off the bed. He grunted as he adjusted himself, his very obvious erection creating a rather large tent in his pants. He must’ve noticed me staring. “Do you see something you like, Little Star? Perhaps, something you want?”
“Yes,” I admitted.
“I don’t want to leave you,” he said, sitting back down on the edge of the bed.
“But you have to,” I told him.
“May I spend the night here tonight?”
“Yes,” I said. I sat up behind him and place my chin on his shoulder before kissing is neck. “I want to continue what we started,” I whispered.
“f**k, Chleo,” he said, “now all I’m going to think about is that and I have meetings with the other Alphas.” I laughed. “You’re mine tonight, Little Star, and remember, you started it.”
He stood up, turned, and bent down just long enough to kiss me before he had to leave. “I’ll see you tonight, my King,” I said, and winked.
“Yes you will, my Queen,” he replied, “and I plan to explore and worship every inch of your body.” He left and I was beyond horny. I took a quick shower and called Mia, I told her everything.
“Damn, girl,” she said. “That’s hot as f**k!”
“I don’t know what got into me,” I said. “I’ve never been that bold or that frisky before.”
“It’s the mate bond,” she told me. “It’s increasing your desires. You’ve dreamt about him for a long time and were left unsatisfied. Now that you have him, your wolf wants to consummate the bond. After you’re mated officially, it’ll dull some, but when you go into heat, you’ll crave him even more.”
“Heat?” I asked.
“Yeah,” she said, “after the mating ceremony, when your wolves bite each other, the bond is locked and your wolf will go into heat during every full moon until you get pregnant.”
“I guess it’s a good thing I’m on birth control,” I said.
“For now,” she said, “but he told you he wanted you to stop taking it after the next dose, right?”
“Yeah, but that gives me five months of protection.”
“Girl, speaking from experience, you’ll probably skip your next shot after you’re mated.”
I knew she was right, I could feel how badly I wanted him and that was without his bite. “f**k,” I said, “I’m gonna end up pregnant before I’m twenty-two.”
“Probably, unless he uses condoms, but it doesn’t sound like he intends to.”
“I have to go,” I told her, “I have lunch with his sister in a half hour.”
“Good luck,” she said, “and have fun.”
KILLIAN
Leaving Chleo after what we’d started made me feel like a d**k. She knew I had to go but that didn’t make it any better. Three times on the way to the ballroom, I almost turned around and went back. I wanted to call my sister and tell her to switch lunch to tomorrow, but I didn’t. I told Chleo we could take things slow regarding our mating ceremony and her becoming Queen, but I knew neither of us could hold off on s*x too much longer. Our wolves wanted to mate and they were winning.
When I made it to the ballroom, I was fifteen minutes later then I had planned. “Killian,” Greg said, “is everything alright, you’re never late.”
“I’m fine, Greg. I was just with Chleo.”
“Say no more, I can smell the s*x on you,” he said.
“We didn’t have s*x,” I admitted.
“Really?” He asked. “You reek of arousal, I can smell both of your scents.”
“We started, but we stopped.”
“Did she not want to?”
“Oh, she did,” I said. “We both did. But I have meetings and she has lunch plans with Jillian.”
“Oh, that’s right,” he said. “She told me about that. She’s excited to meet the Queen.”
“What’s on the agenda for the rest of the week?” I asked. “I want to spend a full day with Chleo before we go to Pearl.”
“Let’s see,” he said as he opened is briefcase and handed me the itinerary for the week.

“So, I get to see Chleo quite a lot but I can’t have alone time with her until tonight, Sunday night, Wednesday night, all day Thursday, and then all of the weekend after the retreat is over. I could dance with her briefly at the ball, but I can’t stay with her.”
“You know,” Greg said, and I looked at him. “You could announce to everyone that Chleo is your mate at the ball. Then you could openly be with her that night.”
“I’ll talk to her and see if she’s okay with that. I know we have to announce our union sooner rather than later but I don’t want to overwhelm her.”
“That’s fair,” he said. “Your meeting with the Ruby Alpha is in five minutes.”
“Alright,” I said, “I’m ready.” I opened my phone and texted Jillian, she should be meeting with Chleo soon.
Killian: I’m stuck in meetings until after 5. Could you keep Chleo company?
Jillian: Of course, I was actually going to ask her if she’d like to go shopping after lunch.
Killian: Sounds great.
Then I texted Chleo.
Killian: I’ll be stuck in these meetings until after 5. Jillian would like to go shopping with you to save time. I received the itinerary for the retreat, and if it’s alright with you, I’d like to announce our union at the ball tomorrow night.
Chleo: Tomorrow night? That seems like a lot to throw on the Alphas, but okay.
Killian: We don't have to if you’re not okay with it. But if we don’t, I won’t be able to keep you by my side the entire night, and unmated males will be there.
Chleo: Okay, let's do it.
Killian: Okay. I’ll see you tonight. Have fun with my sister.
Chleo: Good luck with the meetings.
Killian: As long as I think about you, I’ll be fine.
Chleo: *Smile emoji*
