Bound to My Lycan King

Chapter 3

The five arrived at a halt in front of a pair of white French doors.

'Knock, Knock, Knock' was the sound that caught Kayden's attention from the stack of folders and papers before him.

"Come in," he said without glancing.

Suddenly, the fragrance of lavender and honey cakes struck him like a massive wave. He had never experienced such an appetizing scent. It made his lycan calm down and play with his mind.

Initially, he intended to ignore whoever was at the door, but he was compelled to look up. He was greeted by the most stunning of electric blue eyes. He suddenly felt like all the air was being sucked out of him and all his deepest secrets were being exposed. He had known beautiful women but words could not describe the woman in front of him. She was small—really small—but incited the urge for protection within him. She had a full figure that he itched to hold; her hair was almost black but had streaks of white in it and he had the sudden urge to run his fingers through it. All in all, she was perfect for him and he knew that she was his alone. She was his mate.

Ayora had never been so nervous before. It was as if all the confidence she had when she spoke to the guys earlier had flown out the window. John had knocked on the door in front of them but she wasn't prepared for the tone of the voice that came from the door. The sound sent delicious vibrations to her core. She had never felt that way but that could not have prepared her for what came next.

As soon as the door was opened, she was the greatest, with the most enticing scent of cinnamon and spices. She had learned from a young age that only the smell of one's mate could make them feel this way. Although she felt quite weird, she could not help but look for the source of the scent. It was like a force that drew her to it without end. Even Gem was affected as she purred in delight in her mind.

She had never seen such a specimen of a man before. If Leo was like Adonis, this man was Adonis himself. He was sculptured to perfection. He was bigger than she had ever seen, with arms that seemed like they would crush her if the smallest pressure was applied.

She had never seen such gorgeous eyes before. They were hazel in color and they highlighted his structures wonderfully.

She was surprised to see the handsome stranger staring back at her with equal curiosity and awe.

Kayden wanted to know her name and she wanted to know his.

"Leave; I'll speak to her alone, Kayden said firmly which left John, Carl, Chris, and especially Ayora in confusion

"Good day to Your Highness," Ayora said cautiously with her head bowed. She had heard of his temper back in her pack and wanted to avoid angering him, fearing the loss of her limbs.

Kayden adored her voice. He never expected to fall in love with someone's voice, but he did. He found it comforting and invigorating. But there was a hint of fear and submissiveness he found wrong. He was also dissatisfied with her way of greeting. She was his queen, his Luna, and his mate. She would never lower her head in submission to anyone, not even him. He would have to take his time teaching her that.

"You don't have to bow your head to me, you know. But that aside, what is your name, doll?" Kayden said it gently.

Ayora raised her head to look at the man who spoke to her with such affection and tenderness. This almost brought tears to her eyes, but she composed herself, recalling the recent encounter with Leo.

"My name is Ayora, Your Highness. And please refrain from calling me a doll" Ayora said firmly.

Though Kayden understood she was trying to appear tough, he couldn't help but feel amused and gave a slight smile. "It's nice to meet you, Ayora. My name is Kayden But I won't stop calling you doll because it suits you since you're quite pretty." Kayden said with a small smile.

Ayora blushed at this, causing Kayden to wear a triumphant grin. 'Breaking her walls will be quite amusing,' he thought mischievously.

"Do as you please," Ayora said stiffly with a red face, causing Kayden to laugh loudly.

Ayora found Kayden's laughter to be the most beautiful sound that she had ever heard, and she wished she could hear it more often.

"Well Ayora, you're right. I can do whatever I want," he said with a grin as he slowly approached her.

Ayora was wide-eyed as she stepped back to increase the distance between them but soon found herself backed into a wall. Trapped between his broad chest and the wall, she inhaled his scent even more deeply. She felt her core clench as she grew wetter by the second.

Kayden was instantly hard. He knew it was risky, but he wanted to see how far he could push things with her in this situation.

"Well, Ayora, you still want me to do as I please?" he said with a grin.

"Please leave me alone," Ayora said, attempting to appear unaffected but knew Kayden could sense her arousal.

"I know you feel it too, Ayora. I know you feel the connection we share. Stop trying to deny it."Kayden said

Indeed, Ayora could feel the connection, especially now that they were even closer together. But she couldn't give in. She didn't even know what the connection was. She didn't think that it would be a mate bond. After all, she had already been rejected by her mate. But her curiosity got the best of her, as she wanted to know what the connection was.

"What connection do we have, Kayden? What exactly are you talking about?"Ayora asked as calmly as she could.

"I'm talking about the mate bond between us. Don't tell me you don't know!" Kayden said as he furrowed his brows in confusion.

"I'm aware of the mate bond, but that cannot be the reason because..." Ayora was hesitant to finish her statement.

"Well, why is that?" Kayden inquired. He could tell that she had experienced something hurtful, both to her and her wolf, causing her to close up her heart, as the typical reaction of most female wolves is happiness upon meeting or even hearing about their mate.

"Because I already have a mate, and I've already been rejected," Ayora revealed as tears streamed down her cheeks.

Kayden was taken aback.
