Rylee’s POV:
Everything seemed to be going perfect. Everyone was having a good time, the food was delicious, and AnnaLee looked beautiful. She couldn’t have planned a better party had she tried.
I knew Luke would be a little late, he was always late for things like parties or gatherings. I was joking with Anna earlier, but I didn’t actually think he would actually be late by an hour.
We were about 45 minutes into the party and him and King Kyle had still yet to make an appearance. It was an important night to Anna and I’d just hoped she hadn’t noticed yet.
I looked over at her standing by the buffet table and that’s when it bombarded me. A warm feeling started at my feet and went all the way up my body.
My wolf Aspen was absolutely losing her s**t, running around in my head. Then I smelled it, I was engulfed in an intoxicating mixture of bourbon and aftershave. God, where had that amazing scent come from?
I looked up and found the eyes of a tall Lycan. He had beautifully tossled black hair, and his gorgeous stormy grey eyes were fixed on mine. His tall lean body was making me ache for him.
Then we both looked over at the same time to see Luke. Oh God, he came in with Luke. That meant that he had to be King Kyle. After looking at Luke we both looked back to each other. This wasn’t good.
What felt like an eternity later, We all took our seats at the table. Aspen was yelling at me furiously.
“What in the f**k is wrong with you?! That is our mate! Our true mate. Our handsome, sexy, LYCAN KING MATE! Go get him now!”
“It’s not that simple Aspen. I want him as badly as you do but I can’t right now. You know everything that’s going on. I’m technically mated to Luke, and if I go jump some Lycan’s bones in front of everyone here, it could start an all out war.”
She didn’t like my answer, but I knew that she atleast understood since she had finally stopped yelling at me. I just heard small whimpers every now and again. Goddess, I hated when she would get like that, but there wasn’t anything I could do for the time being.
Since the Lycan’s were our guests, of course King Kyle was seated close to Luke, myself, and the birthday girl Anna. The only words that could even begin to describe how I was feeling, was absolute misery.
Sitting next to me was the man I was mated to, that I had started forming feelings for, and the Alpha of our now shared pack that I cared for deeply.
Then, not two seats down, there was my true mate. The one who the moon goddess herself had chosen for me, my perfect compliment and other half to complete me.
I tried not to make eye contact with him, but as soon as I looked up our eyes caught each other. Ugh! Those beautiful eyes. I could feel him looking me up and down, and he had gazed down finding my back where Luke had his hand resting.
I could see the anger in his face, pure anger. Someone else was touching his mate, and it pissed him off. He honestly looked conflicted though.
I was his true mate, but was mated to another, what was he supposed to do? I would be confused too, s**t, I was confused!
He seemed to clear the thought and turned back to look at AnnaLee, who was making an announcement to everyone. It was supposed to be a happy day for Anna, and I wasn’t going to let my love life or mate issues hijack her night. None of it was her fault, so I would have to figure things out after the party.
Everything was so confusing though. The only reason I even knew who he was, was because he had walked in with Luke.
Even though, he looked like he had understood everything from the get go. He seemed to realize who I was to Luke. So how did he recognize me?
——————
The rest of the night was painstakingly long. My body ached, Aspen wasn’t speaking to me, and I had a headache from trying to avoid all of my feelings.
I had been so consumed in my thoughts I didn’t even realize when I’d rounded the corner and crashed straight into someone.
“Damn! That f*****g hurt.” I said to myself. At the same time I looked up and saw those grey eyes. Chills went up my spine as I swiftly jumped to my feet.
“I’m so sorry king” I was cut off by his hand waiving.
“Don’t try to be formal right now.”
The look on his face would’ve been horrifying if he wasn’t so damn hot.
“We both know what happened in there tonight. I didn’t do anything at the time out of respect for Alpha Luke, and didn’t want a fight to break out between everyone. Now, that being said, I held my composure long enough. So right now, at the least, we are going to talk, and I’m going to get some answers.” His tone was demanding, but soft.
I couldn’t even reply, I just nodded my head and lead him to an empty room.
As soon as we were in, and I’d made sure no one saw us, I closed the door. I stood looking at him, waiting for him to speak. God I wanted him so bad.
“Okay. So, you are my mate.” He emphasized.
“That is a fact. However, circumstances have led you to currently be mated to another. We will have to find out what your packs customs are for unmating and then we will go from there”
It was my turn to interrupt him.
“King Kyle.”
“It’s Just Kyle to you.” I rolled my eyes at him.
“Okay.... Kyle. First off, It’s not that simple. Both of our packs have been combined to what you see now. If I unmate with Luke, that will leave my pack to have to be on its own again.And second, how did you realize who I was? I recognized you because you were with Luke, but we have never met before. How did you know I was mated to him?”
“Well we will have to get things figured out for them then, because I’m not leaving my mate here, mated to another wolf. The second part is simple. While we were in his office going over boarder patrols and plans for defense, I saw you.”
I c****d my head curious as to where he’d seen me that I wouldn’t have noticed his scent.
“Luke has a picture of the two of you propped on his desk. It’s literally labeled Alpha and Luna. There was no mistaking who you were.”
He grabbed my hand as he ended his statement. As mad as I was, and scared for my people, I knew he was right. Me staying with Luke wouldn’t be fair to any of us.
His touch had sent sparks jolting up my arm. My mate had touched me for the first time, and it was the most wonderful feeling.
He felt it too, and began running his fingers up my arm to my shoulder. Then his hand gripped the back of my neck, pulling my head back to look up at him.
He was so much taller than me, easily 6’7”, where I stood not even reaching 5’1”. He quickly closed the gap between us, throwing his lips into mine.
The shock was breathtaking. I bit down on his bottom lip and heard a low growl. He pulled me in tighter as his left hand slid under the back of my shirt. He slowly lifted it up over my head and off my body.
Then I felt him unhook the clasps of my bra, and slid the straps down my shoulders until I heard it hit the floor. My breasts were full, and my n*****s hardened from his touch.
He kissed down my neck, and then down my chest, until he got to my bellybutton. He lifted my skirt up and tenderly pulled my panties off.
He finally made his way between my legs and I moaned, unable to hold it in anymore. His tongue circled my c**t, already bringing me to the edge of an orgasm. Our mate pull had been driving me crazy as it was, but damn that magic mouth of his was going to be my undoing.
He kept moving his tongue back and forth, as he slid a finger inside of my core. With his free hand he made his way up to my left breast, twisting my n****e between his fingers.
I felt it coming and started to tense. He moved his finger faster and my body began shaking. Right at that moment he pulled his tongue back and pinched down on my c**t.
My eyes shot open and I screamed at the release. My vision clouded, my mind was in a haze, and my body was enjoying every second.
The orgasm was amazing, I never thought I could feel something that wonderful and intense. What felt like an eternity later, I finally came back down, and he pulled himself back up to my face.
He lightly grazed my mark with his teeth and I felt myself melt.
“Don’t worry, I will take you and give you every inch of this d**k. It won’t be here though, and not until you are unmated and fully mine. This is just a small taste of what you have to look forward to” he whispered in my ear, making me shudder at the incredible thought.
I quickly re-dressed myself and we stood staring at each other. I knew what I had with Luke wasn’t a true mate bond, but the past few days had made me confused about my feelings for him.
Finding Kyle now, and feeling this pull for him, I knew I wanted him. I wanted him so badly, only him, forever. It was not a good situation, but it’s not like I had asked for it to happen either.
Luke and I needed to talk before any of this happened, but now we had to talk. It had to be soon, and I didn’t even know what I would say.
I think Kyle realized I was lost in thought, because he chimed in on my conflicting conversation with myself.
“You don’t have to talk with him on your own. I can be there with you. We are all adults, and we all know how this bond works. I know we can figure something out that doesn’t leave anyone feeling utterly defeated, or wronged.”
His reassurance put me at ease a bit. He was right, Luke and I had always known that one of us finding our true mate was always a possibility. We had just never discussed what we would do if it actually happened.
Well..... I guess I was going to find out.
