Alpha of Crystal Lake

Chapter 14-What Have I Done?

Liam (POV)

I get to my office, and Elaina follows behind me. I had a few folders I needed to attend to, but Elaina said she needed to speak with me. I open the door to my office and allow her to walk in first, then I close the door behind us and turn to look at her. I opened my mouth to ask what she wanted to speak to me about when she threw herself into my arms and kissed me. I have never been able to deny the chemistry between us and find myself responding to her kiss.

I try to take a step back, only for her to follow me until the back of my knees hit the sofa, and I fall on it on my back. She quickly removed her shirt as she was braless, and I reached for her supple breasts. She gasped and went down, unbuckled my pants, and helped take them off, releasing my hard c*ck. She bends down and captures my lips again as she lifts her skirt and removes her panties, then slides down on my c*ck, making me groan in pleasure.

Then she began to lift up and down and began to ride my c*ck as I fondled and played with her breasts and n*ppl*s. I was moaning and groaning in pleasure as much as she was when the door slammed open, and suddenly, Elaina was yanked off my c*ck with my mate yelling, “GET YOUR FILTHY SLUTTY PAWS OFF MY MATE!!”

In my confused mind, with Elaina kissing me, I had forgotten about my mate. How could I have forgotten her? I see Kristal holding her chest and knew she felt the betrayal pains, and I felt guilty that I had caused it.

“It seems you still are not satisfying him enough…” I heard Elaina begin as my mate walks over to her and slaps her hard across her face. I winced at the slap.

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

Goddess, my mate is s*xy as hell when she is angry.

“Or Else what?” Elaina says, holding her reddened cheek.

I watched Krystal smirk at Elaina, “Let’s just say, you wouldn’t want to cross me. I can be pretty dangerous,”

“So. Can.. I.” said Elaina as she picked up her discarded clothes and left, slamming the door behind her. At that time, I had already put on my jeans.

Krystal turns to look at me as I began to say, “Kris, I am so…”

She cuts me off with a shake of her head and a lift of her hand for me to stop and turns and walks out the door, slamming it behind her.

I fell onto the sofa and put my head in my hands. “What have I done?” I mumbled to myself.

‘You were an i***t, that’s what you have done,’ Thor says, and I cannot deny his words. I made a promise and have already broken it.

‘What do you suggest I do to make it up to our mate?’ I asked him for advice.

‘Give her time to cool down. At least she didn’t go and find someone to cause us back pain,’

Yeah, he was right. She didn’t even though I gave her a reason to do so. Instead, she approached the situation head-on, and for that, I have a new respect for her. She reacted like a faithful Luna and Queen. And because of that, I feel like sh*t. I don’t want to end up like my dad, but Krystal is way stronger than my mom ever was. Doesn’t mean I will become like my dad because of how strong she is… No. Krystal deserves better and my respect.

I now know what I need… No, what I have to do to rectify my relationship with my mate?

Since I am giving her time to cool down, I take a deep breath, walk over to my desk, sit down in my chair, and turn on my computer to finish the work that needs to get done. After all, it is going to be a long night.

I ended up falling asleep at my desk and woke to a knock on my door. I sat and smelled my Beta Dante at the door. “Come in,” I growled.

Dante opens the door and enters, “Liam, did you sleep here all night?” He asked, looking at my roughed-up appearance.

I combed my fingers through my hair, “Yeah, I fell asleep while doing reports. What do you need?”

I asked him, rubbing my eyes.

“You missed training. It is rare when you do.”

I take a deep breath, “Yeah, I had a lot of work to catch up on, and as it got later, I fell asleep and forgot to set the alarm on my phone.”

“I see,” He sat across from me in one of the two leather chairs and crossed his right leg on top of his left knee. “And what about the Queen? She looked pretty bad this morning at breakfast.”

I looked at him in surprise, “She did?”

He nodded, “She did, although she did her best to look and act normal. I could see it in her red-rimmed eyes. She looked tired, like she didn’t sleep at all.”

And this was my fault. I took a deep breath and confessed to my best friend, “She caught me having s*x with Elaina last night.”

He closed his eyes. “I know you grew up with her, but in the past, I have tried to warn you about her. She acts all obsessed with you,”

“I wouldn’t call it obsessed, she is just having a difficult time adjusting to the fact I now have a mate,” I say, defending Elaina. Dante has never liked her.

“Whatever,” He begins, “You still need to fix your relationship with your mate. This kingdom needs to stay strong, and the people need to see you and the Queen happy and strong.”

I know he is right, and I plan on fixing things between Kris and me. I need to be sure that what happened between Elaina and me does not happen again.
