When I wake up, I notice Kayden still lying next to me. I can’t help but smile. He must have been exhausted. Poor guy, always busy with beta duties. Being second in command must be rough. I run my fingers over his muscular chest and his abs, which causes him to stir. I take a deep breath smelling his worn leather musky wood scent. He smells so good. I snuggle in closer to him, my head in his chest. His fingers trail along my body sending little jolts of electricity all over. Never have I had such a reaction. What does that kind of reaction mean? Did he feel it too? Maybe it just means I like him more than I thought, like Leviathan and Jayce said. Maybe…
“I really should get going, Asena. I didn’t think I was going to fall asleep also.” Kayden says to me sounding almost sad.
“I know, but I don’t want you to leave.” I say wrapping my arms around him.
“A beta’s work is never done. I’m sorry. I have to check on the preparations and check in with Levi.” He explains.
“He’s going to know what happened. You know that though.” I say sighing.
“I’m not worried about your scent being on me. He told me I needed to talk to you. I didn’t want to, but I also cannot go against him. I knew when he talked to me that you and he had intercourse. I could smell you all over him. Not that it was unpleasant. It just upset me that he went after you, after specifically saying not to get close to you. It’s too late for me though. I can’t get you out of my head. From your hair to your emerald eyes and caramel skin… you are beautiful.” He smiles.
I melt at his words. “You really think I’m beautiful?”
“Of course, I always have, I just never told you. I was… afraid to tell you. I was afraid that you would think I’m just like all the other guys. I’m not like them at all. It may seem like it after what happened but I’m seriously not like that usually.” He says defensively.
“You were provoked. Angry. It was my fault. I’m sorry I made you go out of character. If it helps any, even though you were rough, I enjoyed it. Probably more then with either of the others. Perhaps they were right. Maybe I do like you more than them, and maybe Jayce was right in saying that I wouldn’t have cared so much about you not talking to me if I didn’t like you… like, like you, like you. I have never dealt with those feelings, so I didn’t know or don’t know… but it makes sense to me.” I say to him.
“I don’t know how to respond to that right now. Yes, you’re beautiful, gorgeous really, but as far as how much I like you… I don’t have an answer for you. I’m sorry. Our first time wasn’t even at my best, it was at my worst. I was way rougher with you than I should have been, beings as you are new to the whole thing.” He states.
“If I were human maybe, but I am a wolf. I can handle pain, which turned into pleasure. A little roughness is nothing I can’t handle, obviously. I’m not broken.” I sit up and stretch.
“But that isn’t how I imagined our first time. If it were to happen. I am a guy after all. I think about things like that. Sometimes anyway. Usually, I distract myself with my duties as beta. Kept away from women for the most part. Always viewed duties as priority. I only ended up in bed with women if I was drunk.” He explains.
“Does that include Jezzabelle?” I spat the name.
“Never in a million years. Even drunk I wouldn’t touch her with a ten-foot pole. She is a slime ball. She has tried but has only really succeeded with Jayce, because he will sleep with just about anyone. You are the only one that has succeeded in getting all three of us, and in one day none the less.” He shakes his head.
I straddle him, “Don’t be like that. I don’t want you to regret having me. Even if you were angry. I don’t regret you taking me. I don’t regret any of the sexual encounters because it helped me realize, that I felt more with you than I did with them, even though you were pissed off. To be honest, I think I was wanting you rather than them, but I took what I could get. My body fought with me. I craved attention so bad, that I didn’t care who it was. I wish you’d have been first though.”
He rolls me onto my back and kisses me. “I can’t escape your emerald eyes. They make you look more extravagant.” He bites my neck and sucks on it. His fingers trail along my side and to my vaginal region. He rubs my clit and my legs twitch. My breathing becomes shallow and fast. He rubs faster and soon my body releases liquids. He smiles and licks his fingers, which I find extremely sexy. Using his fingers, he enters me and thrusts his hand, and even more liquid squirts out of me. This seems to satisfy him as he then removes his fingers, replacing them with his erection. He’s gentle at first, but then begins to get a little rough, thrusting harder. Electricity flows through my body with each thrust. I don’t know what it means but it feels amazing. He moves even faster until he climaxes inside me. Both of us are panting to steady our breathing. He pulls out and lays beside me.
“Was round two with me a little better?” he asks me.
“It was amazing. I honestly wasn’t expecting you to do it again, but I’m glad you did.” I say leaning my head on his shoulder.
“I probably wouldn’t have, had you not straddled me. I’m glad I could satisfy you though. I really should get going. Leviathan will be searching for me if I don’t at least check in with him. Maybe I will come back and spend the night with you. Depending on what duties the alpha so chooses to load me with. You should probably clean up. You have had quite the adventure.” He suggests.
“You really don’t mind smelling like me? Won’t he ask you a bunch of questions? I mean, honestly.” I say shifting my body to allow him to get up.
He smiles, “He will probably be happier about the fact that I left my comfort zone, and actually slept with a woman without being drunk… twice…”
“Are you really going to tell him you had sex with me twice?” I ask shyly.
“They only got you once, I’m going to brag that I got you twice. That is better than what they could pull off.” He smirks and stands up.
“So, I’m some sort of token to be won now?” I ask suspiciously.
“That’s not what I meant, Asena. I just want to see the looks on their faces. To see what they look like when they are both bested by the main beta. I didn’t mean it like you were a thing to be won. Though your affection could be viewed as something to be won…” he walks towards the door and gathers his clothes, beginning to get dressed.
“Do you really think they will compete for my affection?” I ask curiously.
“If I know them, unless you find your true mate or make claims to someone, they will continue to try and gain your affections. It’s the way the world works. If one isn’t claimed, then they are free game. That’s how males view females… well most males. I see it as they have a choice and when the choice is made even without claims, she is off limits. You were supposed to be off limits.” He finishes dressing.
“Hmm… I see. Well, you go do your bragging. I will go bathe.” I say getting off the bed and heading towards the bathroom.
“Asena?” he pauses at the door.
“Yeah?” I respond.
“What would you do if we turned out to be true mates? Or you and one of my brothers?” he asks seriously.
I stop mid-step. “Hmm. To be honest, I never really thought about it, but if it were one of you, I think I’d be happy about it. I kind of owe you guys, so it would be worth it if it were one of you. We could live a happy life together. Maybe have a few kids in the future, but actually finding a true mate is hard these days. It is quite sad, really.”
“That’s true. Either way, I really do need to go talk to Leviathan. I can hear him pacing in his room.” He states.
“Okay. See you later, I guess.” I walk into the bathroom after he leaves the room.
I start the tub and put some bath bombs and bubble bath in the water. Then, when it’s about half full, I get in and let it fill the rest of the way before shutting the water off. I soak in the tub for a while, not really thinking about anything. Then a sudden thought crosses my mind. What if one of the brothers really is my true mate? Is that what the electric feelings mean? Or is that just normal? I would have to test it out, but I don’t want to hurt Kayden or any of the others. How will I know for sure? There must be a definitive way to find out if one of them is my true mate. I could do research, I suppose. Ugh, but that would require a way into the library… I smile wickedly. Or knowing someone who spends most of their time in the library. I need to speak with Luka. He should know what books I need, and I think I can trust him to keep quiet. He doesn’t seem like the type of guy to talk to many people. That’s what I will do… I will ask him as soon as I get the chance.
I drain the tub and move to the shower, where I wash my hair and body. I turn the shower off and step out, wrapping myself and my hair in towels. Then I hear some rustling noises from my room followed by the sounds of sheets and blankets being spread over the bed. They are just changing bedding. Once the sounds stop and the door opens and closes, I walk into my room to see the man I needed to talk to… Luka.
“Hey Luka.” I say kindly.
“Hey, um, Asena right?” he asks.
“Yeah. You spend a lot of time in the library. I was wondering if there were any books about the True Mate’s bond. Maybe something that can help me know when I find them?” I ask him.
“There are several books about that. Most are locked away because it is almost impossible to find them now. You know the stories about us wolves being punished by the mother, because there were to many rejections happening. It was an insult to the mother since she is responsible for choosing who gets to be mates. It’s one of her many gifts. There is also the bearing of children. She is the one who created the werewolves. Gave them long lives. Who’s to know the other powerful gifts she has.” He says in awe.
“Sounds like you’ve done your research on her. What would happen if there was say… a reincarnation of her?” I ask curiously.
“It is a prophecy, that one day a young werewolf will be born into a high family of wolves. She will need to find her true mate to restore that which wolves have lost. In other words, our true mate bond. It has been several centuries since that prophecy was foretold. Some think it’s just a legend, a story. Others genuinely believe it to be true.” He explains.
“I see. So, do you think it’s possible?” I press on.
“I think it to be true and should be this century that it happens. I have done tons of research as you assumed, and the calculations point to this century.” He speaks with passion and intelligence.
“Hmm. I’m not ready to give up on my true mate, even if I end up alone. So, if you could bring some books by tomorrow, that would be amazing.” I say, trying not to give away that I am the reincarnate.
“Sure thing. How about tomorrow afternoon when I bring your lunch.” He suggests.
“Perfect.” I say excitedly.
“By the way, you are a beautiful woman. I’d love to see your wolf sometime. I bet she is as pretty as you.” He asks, sounding slightly suspicious.
“Oh, she is just a black wolf. That’s all. Black, small, and lanky, but swift and smart too. Nothing really fancy about her.” I say smiling.
“You say that, but if you ask me, she sounds gorgeous. Black wolves are my favorites. Their fur is just so, pretty, and shiny. I bet she has silky fur too.” He prudes.
“I just know she is black. Like my hair.” I say trying to get him to stop.
“Can you show me now? I mean you are only in a towel after all.” He presses on.
“Only because you are getting me books.” I say before shifting. He walks up to my wolf form and touches my fur. He examines me like I’m a specimen… or a new breed. So careful, and thorough. A low growl escapes, as he is making me uncomfortable.
He steps back, “Okay, okay. Sorry I just get excited. Beautiful wolf indeed. Obsidian black, just like your hair.”
I shift back and cover myself with the towel again, “I told you she is black like my hair.”
“Yeah, but actually seeing it… that was amazing.” He says excitedly.
“You are acting like you’ve never seen a black wolf in your life.” I cross my arms.
“Well, technically I hadn’t, until you. Black wolves are rare, usually only found in high ranks or high-end families. Even our alpha isn’t black, and he is one of the strongest alpha’s I’ve ever seen.” He states.
“Silver wolves aren’t exactly easy to find either. Your alpha is the first I have seen that is silver in color.” I respond.
“I never really thought of that. Anyway, I better be going so you can eat.” He says, walking towards the door. He waves and walks out.
That guy was way more talkative then, I have ever seen him. I mean, what was with him and asking to see my wolf? That was just, plain weird. Then examining me like, that? That felt so invasive. Why was he acting so odd tonight? Or maybe that’s how he normally is… I’m not sure but that was completely uncomfortable. I sit down and eat my steak, fries, and corn. Then drink the water and avoid the wine. I stretch out on my bed and stare up at the ceiling. After about twenty minutes I hear footsteps storming to my room. I sit up and my eyes lock with non-other than Jezzabelle.
“You, dirty little whore. You couldn’t be happy with one of them? You had to have all of them, in one day, nonetheless. You are despicable.” She says with her red curls bouncing with her angry words.
“You are just jealous because I succeeded where you fail time and time again.” I state.
“Are you wanting to pick a fight with me, bitch?” she spits the words like venom.
“I’ll be happy to fight you if you want. Right here, right now. You may be a beta, but I will show you how good of a fighter this delta can be.” I hiss.
“Then shift and we will see who’s the better fighter.” She says shifting into a dirty blond colored wolf.
“Fine with me.” I shift.
We take our stances and begin our stare-down. I watch her body language closely. She goes for the strike, but I dodge and bite her flank. She pulls away, tearing her flesh. She looks at it and growls at me. We lower our heads. Again, I watch her body language. She is bigger than me, but I have speed and agility to my advantage. She lunges again and I move to the left and bite into her other flank. Again, she pulls away tearing the flesh. We circle each other before taking our stances. She lunges for a third time and again misses, and I strike her front leg. She tries to take a quick shot at me, but still misses, because I watch her movements. When that doesn’t work, she tries to jump attack and I go for her throat. I clamp my jaws on her neck, and she whimpers, trying to move back but I hold tight. Leviathan appears in his wolf form and growls deep at us, this is when I finally release Jezzabelle.
He shifts, “What is the meaning of this? Jezzabelle, shift and explain. NOW!”
She shifts, “I was teaching your little plaything a lesson. She doesn’t belong here. Why do you accept her and sleep with her and not even give me a chance? I was born in this pack. I deserve you more than she does. She is an outsider, a rogue. Have you forgotten that?”
“Jezzabelle! She may have been a rogue, but she will be a part of this pack whether you like it or not. So, she has every right to be with whomever she chooses, and what I do with my time is NONE of your business. Neither is who I choose to do what with.” Leviathan uses his alpha tone.
“Alpha, she also slept with your betas. Doesn’t that mean anything to you? She slept with all three of you in one single day. She is not right for you. How do you not see what she is doing? She is trying to get you and your betas to fight and argue.” Jezzabelle says.
“That is not true, you bitch.” I yell.
“Asena. Enough.” He says to me.
“Sorry.” I say back.
“See she has no respect for those higher in rank. She thinks she’s better than all of us.” The red head speaks. A low rumble escapes my lips, receiving a stern look from Leviathan. I quickly look away, knowing this is not the time to speak out.
“Jezzabelle. Your jealousy betrays you. You came here picking a fight with her, because I won’t give you the time of day, and she’s been here a little more than a week and has gotten me and Kayden. Whom you have also been after. As far as I am concerned you are to blame for this incident. I suggest you be on your best behavior for the time being. Otherwise, I will challenge you myself and strip you of your title as a beta and grant it to her. She has shown a lot more potential than you have. You couldn’t even get a strike on her and she got several on you. This conversation is over, you may leave Jezzabelle. Now.” Leviathan says, sternly. She looks from him to me and back to him before running off. Leviathan then walks over to me and wraps me in a hug. “You are okay, right?”
“Yes. She didn’t touch me, as you can see.” I say not looking at him.
“That’s good then. At least she didn’t hurt you. What exactly caused this whole thing anyway?” He asks curiously, releasing me from his arms.
“You already know. It was the fact that I got all three of you brothers in one day. She was jealous because you and Kayden won’t go near her in that kind of way. I really hate that girl, and I don’t even know her.” I say slightly irritated.
“She’s a handful, but she as an individual isn’t really a bad wolf, just a drama queen.” He says defending her in a way.
“I’d love to challenge her for real. Like a legit challenge. The proper wolf way.” I state.
“That can be arranged, but first we would need to get you into the pack. I will talk to my brothers and decide from there. In the meantime, I really need you to stay here. No more running even if there is a fight. Just go into another room or something. I want to properly introduce you to the pack as a member.” He speaks in a stern tone.
“I feel trapped, Leviathan. I want to be able to roam around even if it’s in the packhouse. I want friends. Other than you guys.” I explain. “Hell, I’d even give Jezzabelle a chance, just to make a friend, even though I can’t stand her right now.”
“I think the only way she would even consider friendship with you is if you beat her in battle, but she is one of our best fighters.” He states.
“I can beat her, guarantee it. She couldn’t even get one hit on me. Not. A. Single. Hit. I don’t know if she was afraid of me or what, but if she is one of the best fighters, then this pack has work to do. Me, a stranger, going against your best, and they couldn’t land a hit… that’s not really good.” I confirm.
“I don’t know if she or Kayden is better. He refuses to fight with her. He doesn’t even want to get near her for a fight. Both of them are good fighters. I say you fight them both and tell me which is the better.” He laughs.
“I will not fight Kayden. Nor will I fight you or Jayce. That just won’t happen.” I state my determination and step back.
“Oh, come one, why not?” he asks, falsely sad.
“I wouldn’t want to embarrass the alpha and his two betas.” I say cockily.
“Well, aren’t you just full of yourself.” He grins devilishly, “Then I challenge you… for a date, winner buys.”
“Wait, what?” I ask shocked.
“I challenge you to a dual. You win, you buy and vis versa.” He clarifies.
“What would the pack think?” I ask unsure.
“I will take care of that, will you accept?” he asks me.
“On one condition. I can have dates with the other two as well.” I barter.
“I can understand you wanting a date with Kayden, but Jayce too? He isn’t much of a date type of person.” He seems confused.
“I can get him to go with me. You just wait and see. He will do it. Even though he’s the only one that doesn’t seem to actually WANT me, he will do this date to make me happy.” I confidently say.
“Fine… one date each. One day, all day, for each of us. You can get to know us behind the scenes as well as how we do our job. Just in case you decide you want to be my Luna.” He smirks.
I sigh, “I know it will come with the territory if I choose you. I have had much training on how to be a good Luna. That was what I was supposed to be, after all.”
“You denied that position once. Although, I do understand why, but if you choose me, don’t run away from me on our wedding day, please.” He asks sincerely.
“If I choose you, why would I run from you? It would be a choice I make rather than a choice made for me.” I simply state. “I wouldn’t disrespect you like that. You have been nothing but kind to me, aside from binding me to my room, but I understand. I don’t like it, but I understand why you did it.”
He sighs, “I know you don’t like it. It’s probably driving you absolutely crazy. I promise I will talk it over with my brothers tomorrow. We will figure out something, okay.”
“You’ll talk to us about what exactly?” Kayden walks in the room and narrows his eyes at the sight of us being naked.
“Don’t worry about it tonight. We will talk tomorrow. You came to keep her company tonight so do so.” Leviathan states unamused by his brothers look he gave.
“Kayden, he had to break up a bitch fight. Don’t worry she didn’t even touch me. I got Jezzabelle a few times though.” I say, proud of the small victory.
“It was a fight between you and Jezzabelle? Over what? Me and Levi?” he asks, irritated.
“I will leave you to explain it. I have duties to get to. An alphas work is never done.” Leviathan says and leaves.
I sigh, “It was her being jealous. That’s putting it simply. So, in a way, yes. It was about the fact that I had sex with all three of you in the same day, and it pissed her off because you and Leviathan won’t go near her. Not like that anyway.”
“We should have kicked her out a long time ago. She doesn’t deserve to be in this pack.” He says, spitefully.
“Don’t say that. It’s rough being without a pack. It makes you extra lonely. You guys have been busy as per your duties. I don’t have any at this time because I do not belong to this pack. Which makes me even more lonesome than just not being around people or wolves. I would never wish that kind of loneliness on anyone, even if I absolutely despise them.” I say sadly.
“I’m sorry. She is just… she picks fights with any she-wolf that pays attention to any of us. It’s like we can’t have anyone because she can’t sleep with us. Jayce gets away with it because he sleeps with her, but not Leviathan and I.” He speaks out.
“I can understand your frustrations, but honestly, maybe she has her reasons.” I suggest.
“Maybe… but I don’t see it. She sleeps around for crying out loud.” Kayden almost yells.
“Tone it down.” I say sternly. “Do you think I’m much better? I went after the three highest ranks here. How is that any better than what she did? Maybe she had a point.?” Why the hell am I defending this witch? She started the damn fight. I don’t like her at all... so why am I defending her?
Because it is the right thing to do, princess. I hear the mothers voice in my head.
“You are not like her. You haven’t slept with the majority of the pack.” He says sternly.
“No just the top-ranking ones.” I respond. “Can we not talk about it anymore. It seems to be causing an awful lot of frustration. I just want a calm evening.”
“You’re right. I’m sorry, Asena.” He apologizes. I love the way he says my name, and Leviathan and Jayce too. They have such smooth silky voices.
“You are getting aroused again. I can smell it. I’m not sure what caused it though.” He says confused.
“Uh… well… The way you say my name. It’s… kind of sexy. I love it.” I am completely embarrassed about admitting that to him.
“Heh, so me saying your name is a turn on for you. That’s a rather easy thing to remember.” He walks over to me and wraps his arms around my waist.
I stick my tongue out at him, “Not my fault you have such a smooth silky voice. Your brothers too.” I admit.
“Don’t talk about my brothers right now. It’s just you and me right now. That’s how I’d like to keep it if you don’t mind. It will ruin the mood otherwise.” He says, grinding his body against mine making his erection known to me.
I blush a deep rosy color, “Oh my. You are hard. Can we lock the door? That way we don’t have any unwanted guests.”
He tilts his head as if thinking then steps away make sure the door is closed tight and the locks are in place. “There, we shouldn’t have a problem now.”
I smile and move my hands under his shirt pushing it up and over his head removing it. “I had no intentions of doing it again, but I can’t just leave you like this, when it’s probably my fault it happened.”
“I want you to do something a little different this time. I want you to suck me off if you are up to the challenge.” He smirks.
“Do what now?” I ask confused.
“Leviathan may have taken your virginity, but I don’t think anyone has had your mouth on their cock. I will obviously return the favor and go down on you. It’s one of my favorite things.” He challenges.
“You want me to put it in my mouth? Then what exactly?” I ask embarrassed that I don’t know.
“It’s easy you use your hand and mouth to create the same sensation as if it were your vagina. In other words, you move your mouth along my cock. Don’t be afraid to try different things either.” He explains kindly. “Don’t worry, I knew you would be a little confused about it. Just listen to your body and your instincts and you will be fine. I promise.”
“Okay. I will try it.” I say to him.
He pulls off his pants and walks over to the bed sitting down. He beckons me to him. I walk to him, and he pushes me down on my knees. I take a deep breath before deciding to put his cock in my mouth. I go as far as I can and close my lips around it. I start moving back and forth along his shaft. He moans, I like it, so, I run my tongue along it as I move front to back and back to front receiving another moan. I continue doing this for a while until he unloads his cum into my mouth. Not knowing what else to do I swallow it then lick my lips.
“That’s my good girl.” He says smiling at me. “Your turn.” He stands and lifts me laying me on the bed where he was just sitting and starts licking my clit and flicking his tongue. I moan, legs shaking as he goes faster and moving his tongue in and out of my vagina. After a couple of my own climaxes, he stops and licks his face. “Mm, tasty.”
Embarrassed, I roll over and hide my face. It felt great and I enjoyed it but calling me a good girl and saying it was tasty? That was a little embarrassing. I hear him walk away and then water running in the bathroom. Soon after, he comes back and climbs into the other side of the bed. He pats the mattress next to him. I slowly move next to him, facing the other way, but he rolls me to face him before he kisses me.
“You are fine. You did good for your first time. I enjoyed it very much. I hope you enjoyed yourself too.” He says pulling me close to him.
“I did, good? Is that why you called me a good girl?” I blush even repeating it.
“You don’t need to be embarrassed, my dear. I like it when you are a good girl and listen. You did exactly what I had told you to do. You will make a fine delta. You’d make a fine Luna as well, but that’s not something I want to talk about.” He says quickly.
“Hey Kayden… where would we be if my true mate was someone other than you?” I ask in a serious tone.
“I would be upset, but I’d eventually accept it, I guess. I mean I’d have to if you became our Luna.” He says sadly.
“Okay, but what if it were someone other than one of you three? I mean, no one really gets to choose their true mate.” I state.
“I’d probably try to fight them. I don’t want you to be with anyone but me, technically. I would have to accept it if it were Jayce or Leviathan though. They are my brothers and I want them to be happy. Where is this all coming from anyway?” he asks me.
“You asked me earlier what I would do if it were one of you three. So, I was thinking what if it wasn’t… I mean it’s possible, there are several wolves here, and it may not even be part of this pack, but I’d like to think that I was brought here for a reason. Aside from Leviathan being the kind of alpha that he is.” I explain.
“I just want you to be happy. You could be very happy with me, Leviathan, or even Jayce. Can’t you just be happy with one of us? Why is the true mate so important?” He asks comfortingly.
“If I don’t find my true mate it could cause many problems for several wolves. If not all of our kind. I can’t explain anything more right now. I don’t want to put you in danger, but I am special, just like you all have told me. I just don’t know everything yet. I’m sorry.” I say sorrowfully.
“I understand. Let’s get some rest, okay? I will see you in the morning.” He kisses my forehead.
“Yes, let us sleep on it. We will see each other in the morning.” I smile at him and close my eyes, falling fast asleep.
---------Chapter 5
“Mon chèrie, you’ve been busy. I met you at your ranking challenge. Your wolf is absolutely gorgeous, especially with your emerald eyes. We must meet up again. À bientôt.” The mystery voice returns after the day is over and in my sleep.
“Who are you?” I ask and this time I get a response.
“Who I am does not matter right now, mon chèrie. We will meet again, and I will introduce myself properly as it should be for a proper lady.” He claims.
“A proper lady? How would you know if I was proper?” I ask suspiciously.
“I know where you came from. Word travels fast. You are from high-society, which generally means proper.” He states.
“Are you… obsessed or something?” I say dryly.
“Obsessed? Maybe. You are beautiful and look so unhappy. I see you looking out your window often, with a sorrowful look on your face. Not befitting such a princess.” He determines.
“What is with everyone calling me princess? Is it because of where I am from? I was born in a BETA family, not an alpha one.” I am irritated at this point. “Can’t you give me a name?”
“Now is not the time, Love. We call you princess because females in your previous clan are a rarity. We do our research. That is part of my job here.” He explains to me.
“I guess, but I don’t need to be called princess. I am not some pretty pink, dress wearing, stuck up snob, like most royal presences.” I determine.
“I must go, you need proper beauty sleep. Good night, mon chèrie.” He says to me.
“Don’t just leave… you haven’t told me anything really about you except how you met me.” I demand but get no response. Men…
I continue to sleep, but not a restful sleep. I toss and turn much of the night, with the stranger’s voice echoing in my dreams. An arm moves around me and pulls me close, and the scent of leather and musk, hit my nostrils. Oh, right, Kayden is in bed with me. I seem to calm in my sleep after his contact.
“It’s okay, Asena. I am here. Calm down.” His words calm me the rest of the way as I sleep soundly the rest of the night.
