Alpha of Crystal Lake

Chapter 13-Trouble

Krystal (POV)

Wow, is Liam good at keeping his word? I have never been so satisfied with so many orgasms in my life. We can’t seem to keep our hands off each other. And he had not even touched another woman since. I guess the best way to this King’s heart is to keep him satisfied in bed. Well, I don’t know about his heart, but I hope to win it over one day. I know the mate bond will help with that, but it also has to do with the heart. I myself would love to let go and maybe fall in love with my mate. And maybe he would fall in love with me. But only time will tell. For now, we are getting along, talking, laughing, and of course, having s*x. Lots and lots of great s*x. I can understand why women threw themselves at him before, because he is a great lover and knows how to please a woman.

Today, he is taking me into the city to attend some events that are customary for the royal family. It seems that everywhere we go, the press is always nearby. So, Liam and I put up with lots of smiles and even kisses when a few reporters shouted for us to kiss. Why? Maybe to show the people that they have caring royals. Many people want to shake our hands and even hand me flowers and gifts.

Seems I am going to have to get used to all this attention as the new Queen. At least I have Liam by my side. We are finally heading back to the palace after a full day, and boy, am I tired. I lean against Liam as he places his arm around my shoulder.

“Is it always like this for you?” I ask after a yawn.

I hear him chuckle before he answers, “Not really. I think it is different this time because of you. The people are all excited about meeting their new Queen.” He kisses the top of my head. “You are the best thing that has happened in a long while. Before that was my birth.”

I looked up and smiled, “I bet you were the cutest baby.”

“Just wait until we have one,”

“Have one what?” I ask.

“A pup. That is one reason I needed a Queen is for an heir to take my place one day,”

“I noticed you said one reason. What is the other, if I may ask?”

He looked deep into my eyes as he said, “To one day fall in love,”

My heart skipped a beat as he said that, then he turned away to look out the window. Does he really mean that? Could it be me he falls in love with? Why does my heart feel strange at that thought? Could it be I am already developing feelings for him?

“I want that too,” I mainly whispered to myself, but with his wolf hearing, I know he heard it.

We get back to the palace and head up to our room to get ready for dinner. We took a relaxing shower together and had a little fun while at it. Then afterward, we dressed and headed down to the dining hall. It seemed more crowded this evening. More than usual. At least close to a hundred. Liam and I went to our usual spot as Alpha and Luna, and as we sat, a servant served us our plates.

Everything looked delicious as I picked up my fork and began to eat. I hadn’t noticed who was sitting at our table until I heard a female voice speak to Liam.

“Oh, Liam. Do you remember when we were kids, and you tried to ride Mr. Darsey, and he bucked you off?”

I looked up to see Elaina with her hand on Liam’s as she spoke. He laughed as he said, “Yeah, I remember. I also remember it was you who nursed me back to health while my broken arm healed.”

“It was also the day of our first kiss,” she said as my grip tightened on my fork, “I meant to kiss your cheek, but you turned your head, and I got your lips instead. That was my first kiss. You were my first everything.”

I looked up as Liam stared at Elaina just as she stared at him. Then he cleared his throat and pulled his hand away, “Yeah, well, that was years ago. Much has changed since then.”

“Yeah, it has,” I could hear the longing in her voice as I am sure Liam could too.

I suddenly lost my appetite and pushed my plate away, then stood up. That caught his attention as he looked up at me. “I am finished. If you will excuse me, I will meet you upstairs.” I smiled at him as he nodded.

“I will be right up. I have a few things to do first in my office,” he said as I bowed slightly to him. I didn’t have to as his mate and Queen, but I did anyway.

Just as I was leaving, I heard Elaina say, “I need to speak with you, Liam.”

“Okay, meet me in my…” I didn’t hear the rest of Liam’s reply, as I continued walking to our room.

I know the two had a history together and that she was the one who had s*x with him since we got to the palace. I just hope this talk is all it seems to be. Talk. He knows I will feel it if he betrays me, and he has been doing so well about not betraying me. But that look between them. That look unnerved me. I begin pacing the room, wanting to know what the talk was about that she wanted to speak to him about.

I honestly want to trust him, but I am having a difficult time with his past. I finally couldn’t take it anymore and walked out, beginning to walk towards his office when the pains started. I reached for the wall while holding my chest. ‘Yeah, some talk,’ I thought to myself.

I am now getting angry and continue walking to the office. When I stop in front, I can hear moans and groans, as well as the slapping of skin on skin. I take a deep breath through the pain and stand up straight and slam open the door to see Elaina riding on top of my mate as he plays with her breasts.

“GET YOUR FILTHY SLUTTY PAWS OFF MY MATE!!” I scream at her as I grab her and throw her off.

I held my chest as the pain slowly left, breathing hard, and looked at Liam as he looked at me with concern and guilt.

I then looked back at the sl*t before me, as she smiled.

“It seems you still are not satisfying him enough…” She begins as I walk over to her and slap her hard across her face.

“I am your Queen, and you WILL respect me,” I then point to Liam, “And he is MY mate, not yours. You will leave him alone or else.”

“Or Else what?” She grinds out, holding the cheek I slapped.

I smirked at her, “Let’s just say, you wouldn’t want to cross me. I can be pretty dangerous,”

She stood up straight and looked me in the eye, “So. Can.. I.” She grabbed her panties and shirt as those were the only things off her body and left, slamming the door behind her.

I take a deep breath to compose myself and turn to find my mate standing with his pants back on. He opened his mouth and began to say, “Kris, I am so…”

I shake my head and lifted my hand to stop him, as I too walked out slamming the door behind me, and went to our room.
