ASTERA

I heard a violent knock on my door. Who can be so late in the night?

-          “Yes?” I answered as I opened my door. “Who died? And for Goddess’s sake, don’t you know the proper way of knocking on a door?” I said to Maximus as I pointed out the marks he made on my oak door.

-          “Is he here?” He said to me with a strange tone

-          "Who? What are you talking about?" I was really confused. Had no idea what was that about.

-          "Don't lie to me!" He said to me using his Alpha voice.

-          “How dare you!? You have no right to come here and almost knocking down my door! Who do you think you are?” I lashed out at him, with flames bursting out from my eyes

-          “YOUR MATE! YOUR ALPHA! YOUR KING! You insolent female!” Again, the Alpha tone. I must confess I kind of liked it when he commanded me. But, regardless, he had no right to interrogate me. This infuriated me beyond any reason, even more giving his situation with Inoa. 

-          “You may be my fated mate, but you are not my mate! And surely you are not my Alpha, not to mention, my King! I, Astera Black, Alpha of the Blackmoon Pack, I…” and just before I could finish my rejection, I felt his arms reaching over for my arms, pulling my body close to his, and interrupting me in the middle of my rejection with the most passionate kiss I have ever had! 

*** 

One of his arms was grasping my hips, pinning my body close to his, as the other hand was grabbing my hair, holding me captive into his kiss. I did not had the strength to resist, so I capitulated into his embrace. My lips opened, letting his tongue taste every inch of my mouth. I grabbed his beautiful hair with one hand, as my other hand was wondering down his muscular back, filling every inch of him. I wrapped my legs around his hips as he was holding me with one hand, while the other was still pulling my hair. A moan escaped my lips in approval of his touch. He smiled and continued kissing me with passion and lust. Without interrupting our kiss, he entered into my apartment, he intuitively found my bedroom and he throw me in my bed. I got up just enough to catch him by his jeans and I pulled him on top of me, while kissing him with lust and passion. I was w*t and he was hard. I could feel his enormous manhood through his jeans and that made me wanting him inside of me right now! Sparks erupt from our touching bodies like lava erupts from an active vulcano. Our moment was a mixt of pure lust and a thirst for other’s touch. In the few seconds where we interrupted our breathless kiss, we looked into each other’s eyes and I felt like I was in heaven and he was my God. I craved for his touch, I wanted to feel his skin on my skin, so I ripped his shirt off, revealing his desirable body. He followed my lead and he ripped my dress and launched himself over me, covering my neck with his passionate kisses. He approached my marking spot and he started to draw sensual circles with his tongue, arousing me even more. “Mark me!” I whispered at him, yearning for his mark on my neck, yearning for him to do it. He pulled his fangs in order to mark me, when I suddenly hear Dina desperately trying with all of her strength to link me. The "perks" of being an Alpha... always "online" for the pack members... I "opened" the link and she told me that she found a lead about my father. In a blink of an eye I went from ecstasy to agony, realizing that he cannot mark me because of the hideous blood-oath Edric made. I pulled myself from his thirsty embrace and I got up from the bed.

-          “I am so sorry! This cannot happen again! This was a mistake…” I said to him, with my carnal desire for him still burning out from my being. My excuses were insincere. I did not regret anything, and I really wished, in that moment, for him to mark me. The more I think about it, the more I realize that It would have been the worst idea possible, and I hate myself for asking him to do it. It was very wrong of me to give in to my hormonal and magical desires. 

-          “I am sorry! My sincere apology! This is no way for a prince to act! I did not wanted to drag you into this… this… situation.” He said to me with a confused look on his face. And a hard on in his pants. "Why is he apologizing for? For not marking us fast enough, maybe..." I heard Saradi ironically laugh in our shared mind. 

-          “Dina force-linked me. She found a lead about my father. We should leave tonight! We will meet with them in the conference room in 15 minutes. I must take a shower first, and so should you.” I said to him in a demanding tone. Now that I am starting to cool down, I can’t believe that I asked him to mark me! WHAT WAS I THINKING? I took a shower, I dressed up and I went in the conference room. This was the room where we received all the official guests, Alphas, etc., where we discussed important matters and we took care of lots of affaires. It was a spacious room, with a large round table, made of massive wood. It had 12 large wooden chairs around it. On the south wall, I had hanging beautiful pictures from all the wolf packs from all the realms. It looked pretty impressive. It gave the whole room an air of peace, cooperation and serenity. On the west wall, a large shelf filled with books covered the entire wall. The east wall was covered by a large window with a beautiful view towards the forest. I liked this room. It made me feel safe and in control. Soon, all the pack members gathered, alongside Maximus and his Beta, Idris. My team had a lead about my father’s location, and tomorrow morning we will follow that lead. For tonight, all we have to do is to rest.
