The Cursed Alpha's Bride

Chapter5

The next time I woke up, I was on something very, very soft. The atmosphere smelled of rain and flowers and whatever I was on went on forever. I stretched my arms and legs as wide as I could and saw no end. Was this the paradise my father had spoken of? I wondered. My eyes were closed so all I saw was darkness. Where was the light?

Then it dawned on me and my eyes opened sharply. The light struck my retina and I hissed at the discomfort. It was when I saw the fancy chandelier dangling from the fancy ceiling that I realized I was on royal property. In Alpha Kian’s property. I had accidentally slept off in his arms the day before.

I mentally face-palmed myself as I took in the rest of the surroundings. From the plush curtains over the large window behind and beside me. The ornate furnishing with gold trimmings. The mirror with delicate glass and bright lighting. The many doors that led to many different rooms I couldn’t tell. The man sitting on the chaise lounge directly opposite the bed…the man!

My survey ended there as I took in Alpha Kian, half-dressed and half-asleep on the couch. He looked so dashing even in his unconscious state, but the fatigue was clear in the lines running across his face. Still, his presence commanded authority. I was moved to touch him.

My feet landed on another soft material and I looked down to admire the embroidery on the carpet covering the entire floor. In all of his flamboyance, even the Alpha King did not have his chambers this nicely decorated.

It was when I passed by the large mirror that I noticed I was no longer wearing the maid’s outfit from the banquet. I was dressed in a fine robe with silk material that stopped somewhere below my knees. My long hair was still uncovered but I appreciated it this time.

I soon forgot my beautiful reflection as I continued on to where the Alpha was sleeping. Slowly, I touched him lightly on his shoulders. His eyes fluttered open and his watery gaze strengthened when they rested on me.

“I’m sorry,” I withdrew my hands, apologizing for startling him awake.

But the Alpha didn’t seem offended as he smiled and shook away the apology. “It’s alright. I’m the one who should be apologizing for sleeping off on you.”

“Well, a king does need his rest too,” I chuckled.

But Alpha Kian wasn’t laughing anymore. His gaze had mysteriously darkened as they focused on my body. It was then I looked down and realized I hadn’t belted the robe when I stood up from the bed. It had come open down the middle and parts of my bust down to my thighs were on display.

A muscle in his jaw ticket and I felt heat flood my cheeks at his scrutiny. I tried to cover up but the Alpha reached for my wrists and stopped me.

“Don’t hide from me,” he whispered gruffly and stood to his feet. He towered well over me and I gasped, in awe and fear.

He pulled me against his chest and whispered in the most sensual voice, “I want you.”

Then he lowered himself onto the chair and dragged me with him so that I straddled his waist. I’d never been in this position with a man before, so I was basically useless from that point. I didn’t know what to do or to say? I was confused, but the Alpha seemed experienced as he began placing tiny kisses on my shoulder, my neck, and my lips…then his fingers wandered to the spot between my thighs where the heat was radiating from,, and he began drawing circles with his fingers.

I recoiled at the feelings coursing through me. So foreign, yet so exciting. I couldn’t understand them.

Mate! I heard Alex instruct.

And so I let the Alpha hold me tightly to himself. I let him kiss my forehead and my lips. I let his hands wander through my robe and I moved to the rhythm of his movements. The longer we went, the bolder I became. He seemed to be enjoying whatever it was I was doing because I heard some sounds from deep within his throat.

He threw his eyes open and lifted me in his arms. My legs were still across his waist, and he carried me that way to the bed, where he continued kissing me. I was growing hotter with each passing second and bolder as well. I threw my arms around his neck as he continued kissing me till he was somewhere between my belly button and Pubic area. I stopped breathing at that point.

I anticipated what was going to come next. Was he going to kiss me there or just touch it? Did I stink? Would he like it? So many, many questions ran through my mind, but I stilled my body and waited for Kian to do whatever was in his mind.

He seemed to be okay, just sniffing around, and I realized what he was doing. The Alpha wanted to know if I had been with other wolves. The absurdity of the situation wanted to make me laugh but I didn’t want the Alpha to think I was mocking him. It wasn’t his fault he didn’t know I’d been locked up in a dungeon for the better part of my adult years and no wolf had wanted me —not even for free.

He eventually found out when he got no scents. Finally, he lowered his lips onto me and looked up into my eyes. I winked at him and he growled satisfactorily.

“I cannot wait any longer,” he growled as straightened up properly.

He took off his clothes so that he stood before me in all his naked glory and my inner wolf howled in appreciation. He was perfect. I took off my robe completely and accepted him into my arms when he climbed back into the bed.

He captured my lips in his as he settled comfortably between my legs. Just as he thrust slowly inside me, I heard Alex come alive.

The tears that flowed as he moved inside l.
