Her Cursed Alpha

CHAPTER 13 - CORALINE'S POV

I was warm, comfortably warm for what felt like the first time in my life, and as I slowly opened my eyes, I realized why.

I was in Dericks bed, with his arms tightly locked around me. How had I fallen for him so completely and quickly?

I blushed and smiled as I remembered the events of last night. I'd touched myself before, but it never felt like that.

Eric had never made a move on me, nothing outside of kissing anyway, but being with Derick was different. He was experienced and an Alpha. The way he'd commanded and dominated me should have angered me and yet somehow, it had only added to the pleasure. Was there something wrong with me?

Derick shifted, and I felt his soft p***s fall onto my thigh and I froze for moment, before looking at my mate's face, then I lifted the covers and examined it.

Even soft, it looked intimidating, and I blushed when I remembered it in my mouth.

"Do you think it'll hurt when we have s*x?" I asked Clara who sleepily nodded. "All the woman say it does."

"It'll be fine. I can't wait to mate with Dash!"

"Look, it's getting bigger," I exclaimed, but then I heard my mate cough and I realized why. He'd woken up and saw me staring at it.

I quickly lowered the covers and hid my face against his chest while he laughed.

"Honey, you can do more than look if you want," He told me, as he yawned, "Whenever you want to suck it, you go right ahead."

"Stop it." I said, and hit his chest.

"You're cute when you blush," He said as he grabbed my chin and tilted my head up, "Good morning."

"Morning."

"Did you sleep well?"

I nodded and smiled, "I usually wake up cold, but I'm really comfortable with you here. An Alpha's heat comes in handy."

He smiled and kissed my forehead. Lingering long enough to make me feel cherished. A feeling I have rarely, if ever felt since losing my mother.

"So, what are your plans for today?"

I shrugged, "Probably go to training and then finish packing. I'd already packed most of my belongings to go with... Eric, so it shouldn't take too long."

"Training?" He asked, thankfully not dwelling on my comment about Eric, "But it's the day before our wedding. You should be getting pampered. Don't you have any pack traditions to do?"

"No, we don't really do those things here," I answered, ''Actually. I don't even know who's organizing the wedding, or what I'm even meant to do tomorrow."

Derick laughed, "You're meant to just show up and be beautiful, and I've already got someone organizing everything for the wedding. Though, I should have asked what time your heat usually kicks in so we have enough time to come back here."

I looked down, "Just after sunset."

"Perfect, I can't wait," He said, his voice filled with longing.

I gulped and changed the subject. Sleeping with a man I barely knew, even my mate was terrifying. I'd heard for years that Alpha's were domineering and rough, and after last night, I was sure the rumors were true, and it made my nerves grow.

"Do you have any traditions before a wedding?"

"We do," He answered as he ran his fingers through my hair, "We go for a run and have a male only party. Come shower with me." He said abruptly and got up.

I was confused by his sudden shift, but followed him into the bathroom, trying and failing not to look at his naked body along the way.

Derick was the first in, but I hesitated again. He'd accepted my scars, but I was still self-conscious about being naked around him.

"Hurry up," He ordered as he started washing his body

I quickly undressed and joined him under the warm water, and his hands immediately moved to my body. Washing me gently.

"After breakfast today, you, your maid and her mate will need to sever ties with Damien's pack," He told me, as the smell of soap filled the shower, "And speaking of things to do before the wedding. Dash and Clara haven't spent time together alone. We should go for a run today after my final meeting with Damien."

He sounded so matter of fact when he spoke. So confident in his words, and it made me feel like a little kid. Would I ever be his equal? Was I making a mistake? I was never so confident. I never wanted a life with an Alpha, but I never considered that I would be a burden to one of I was mated to one.

"Why aren't you saying anything?"

I snapped back to reality and spun in his arms. "I was just taking it all in," I answered and took the sponge from his hands, and began washing him, "I will let Merin know."

"She's already cleaning up the room, I had someone fetch her."

"If you keep doing things on your own like this, you'll anger Damien. This is his pack, he might retaliate."

Derick laughed and rolled his eyes, "I'll be sure to guard against him." He said sarcastically.

"You're impossible," I mumbled under my breath, "When will we leave for your country?"

"Our country," He corrected, and I froze for a moment, "And we'll go the day after the wedding, so make sure you say goodbye to all your friends."

"I don't have any friends. Just... Eric."

Dericks eyes darkened, "You didn't have any female friends?"

"No. Most of the girls hated me because I was a princess and the rest were intimidated because of my rank, so I only had Eric. Plus... I prefer to be alone making potions. Actually, once we're married, will you still allow me to make them?"

Derick took the sponge back from me, "Turn around," He ordered, and once I had my back to him, he started to wash my skin, "It's not a matter of me allowing it. It's more that you won't have a lot of spare time. Running a pack, running all the packs is time-consuming and requires most of your attention. But I know how much it means to you, so I'll try to give you as much time as I can to tinker around with your potions. Especially if it can benefit the Kingdom."

I nodded. It sounded reasonable. I remembered my mother working tirelessly for the pack. She never had enough hours in the day to do the things she loved, but she always claimed it was a Luna's duty and worth it. I just prayed she was right.

"Alright," I smiled.

"In sorry it can't be the life you dreamed of, but I will give you everything I possibly can to make you happy."

"I know," I turned back to him, and looked into his warm eyes. "Derick... I... know I haven't exactly been warm and welcoming since we met, but I'm glad I chose you. I will be a good mate, and I know you'll treat me well, or at least I hope you will."

He smiled, dropped the sponge, and touched my cheek, "You had your reasons. I understand. And I will treat you well. Always."

He kissed me softly on the lips, but it soon turned passionate, and my mate grabbed my throat as he pinned me to the shower wall, not tight enough to choke me, but enough to keep me in place.

Our tongues clashed as he pressed harder against my lips, and felt his p***s grow against my body, before he pulled back.

He pressed his forehead against mine and started to slowly stroke his p***s.

"Do you have any idea how hard it is to leave you a virgin?" He moaned, his eyes shut tight as he continued to wank himself, making me feel strange excited tingles erupt in my body, starting from a v****a.

"If I wasn't, would you still wait until the wedding night?"

He laughed softly, "Of course not. I'd already have you down on all fours with my c*ck buried deep in that perfect little p*****. of yours. But as you are, I am excited to wait for you heat. Now, get on your knees."

I was just as nervous now as I was last night, but I knelt down and began to pleasure him again, and once he'd c*m, he returned the favor, laughing softly at himself when I c*m quickly again, and promising to train me once more to last longer, before we left the bathroom both satisfied and wrapped in warm fluffy towels.
