《The Alpha King's Mate》Chapter 12
Advertisement
We just sat staring into each others eyes. Emotions swirled in Lucas' eyes, shades of black slightly twisting among the cobalt blue ocean they usually are.
I could feel the bond pulling taught as we continued to stare. Begging. Pleading. Wishing my body to lean into him and reconnect.
"I'm sorry. I shouldn't have done that baby. I didn't mean to push you into something like that so soon."
Always the considerate one. Feeling bad about kissing me because he thought I wasn't ready. He feels bad while I'm over here thinking about doing more than just a soft kiss.
Instead of replying I kiss each of his cheeks.
Left then right.
"B-baby what are you doing."
The slight tremor in his voice was enough to know he was fighting for control with his wolf, restraining himself from giving into the bond.
"I don't know what your talking about Lucas. Mind elaborating on that question?"
Dang Kenna I didn't know we could talk like that.
That is all you girl! You are coming out of your shell. This is who you are supposed to be. This is the real you. Not the shy timid girl you have been for years.
"Why did you kiss me baby girl? I don't want to make you feel like you have to do that and I most definitely don't want to rush you."
"Will you just kiss me again?"
A look of bewilderment adorned his face from how direct I was being. What can I say? I got a taste and I wanted more. I know what I want so I'm going after it.
"Are you sure princess?"
One nod of the head and Lucas was sold. One hand on my cheek and the other around my waist, pulling me ever closer to him.
The kiss started slow but became more heated and passionate as time continued. He was in charge of the kiss, showing who was the dominate one, and man was it hot.
He nibbled on my bottom lip, causing me to gasp. He took that as his chance and slipped his tongue in to meet mine. They battled for dominance but he obviously won. He explored every part of my mouth until we pulled apart, lungs begging for oxygen.
"That... Was..."
"Perfect? Amazing? Life changing?"
"Yes Lucas, all those things."

It really was perfect. Once we separated he guided my head to rest on his chest. The steady beat of his heart was comforting, making me feel safe and secured.
"Do you still want to go on a run?"
At the mention of a run I jumped up, causing me to lose my balance.
I braced myself for the feeling of my body hitting the ground but it never came. Instead I was wrapped in Lucas' arms, them circled around me, keeping me from falling and injuring myself.
"Thanks."
"Anything to keep my queen safe. Now I'll go see if my sister has clothes that you can borrow, you are close in size."
"Okay."
He gently placed my back on the bed and kissed my forehead before walking out the door.
I wonder if his family will like me?
What if they hate me and make him reject me?
Girl shut up! Stop thinking so negatively about life.
Sorry Kenna...
Yeah yeah. Sorren and Lucas really like us so don't worry. He is the King and no one can make him do something he doesn't want to do. Except us. Hehe.
"So... She really wanted to meet you and help dress you herself and she is standing right outside the door. But if you don't want to meet her today I can make her leave."
The princess wanted to meet me? Now? Help me dress? What a change my life has gone through.
"I would love to meet her."
"You sure baby? She will understand."
"Princess Andria? You can come in."
The young girl burst through the door, just like her brother. You can definitely tell they were related. Always making a dramatic entrance.
"EPP! OMG YOU ARE GORGEOUS!!"
I couldn't help but flinch when she raised her voice and came flying at me. My eyes clenched close and I refused to open them for at least three seconds. When I did open them I saw a confused, hurt, and angry expression on the princess face.
"I didn't mean to scare you. I won't hurt you."
Her voice was gentle and kind, talking softly like you would to an injured animal. Which I guess I was.
"It's okay. You didn't know. I'm Audrey."
A bright smile covered the princess face, making me smile in return. Something about her attitude caused her smile to be contagious.

"I'm Andria, You can call me sis if you want though. I mean we are technically family now and I have always wanted an older sister. Instead I got a hard headed older brother and annoying twin."
"Hey!"
Lucas and another voice exclaimed at the same time.
"Baby this is my younger brother Dustin, Andria's twin."
A young looking boy was making his way to Lucas before coming toward me.
He has light brown almost blonde hair, a sharp contrast to Andria and Lucas' dark black. His baby blue eyes held a mischievous glint, making me immediately know he was the prankster of the family.
Andria has warm brown eyes, confusing me on where she got them. Both the past King and Queen have blue eyes. I'll have to ask later.
Snapping out of my thoughts I see Dustin stick his hand out. Another flinch. Another three seconds of eyes closed, waiting for the hit.
I open my eyes and see the same emotions on Dustin's face that had been on his sisters when I flinched earlier.
"I'm Prince Dustin. I'm the best looking Knight child there is. Obviously. I'm sorry you had to be mated to such an eyesore."
A loud warning growl filled the room as Dustin took my hand and kissed it and winked.
"Dustin? Can you let go?"
Dustin just laughed but did as I asked. Lucas then pushed him away from me and pulled me into his lap while burying his head in the dip where my neck and shoulder connect.
"Mine."
"Yes brother. All yours. I was just joking with her. Seriously. You and Sorren need to learn how to take a joke."
Another growl.
"Shh. It's okay Lucas. I'm not going anywhere. Now Dustin why don't you go do something else before your brother gets any angrier. Sis? Will you bring me a set of clothes to change into? Lucas and I are going to go on a run and when we get back we can all sit and chat. Sound good to everyone?"
I just got bright, smiling faces and nods of their heads before they walked out the door.
"Are you okay Lucas?"
"You did it."
"Did what?"
"You used your Luna voice and took control of the situation without me. You acted like the Queen you are. I'm so proud of you baby girl."
I couldn't help but blush as he placed a kiss on my shoulder. I really did use my Luna voice? Cool.
A few minutes later and Andria came back with a pair of black leggings, a blue tank top, and a pair of Nike's before leaving again.
"Lucas. I need to change."
"Humph."
Ten more minutes of coaxing and Lucas finally let go so I could change. Man did I look good. I don't even care that you can see the scars on my arms.
"Beautiful."
I quickly jump as I see Lucas enter the closet to grab a hoodie before grabbing my hand and leading me out of our room.
Our room.
He lead my to a set of stairs at the end of a hallway with three doors on each side. The floors were of a dark, almost black, wood with a lush grey carpet running down the center.
The walls were a light natural grey with pictures lining them, giving a classy but homey vibe.
We descended to the main floor before we walked to a set of large wood doors. Out the doors was a beautiful front yard with woods maybe 160 ft away.
We walked hand and hand to the woods and continued walking till we were standing in a clearing with beautiful daisies and other wild flowers growing.
"You can go behind one of those trees to shift. I'm going to go behind the large oak right across."
I can't wait to shift and I also can't wait to see his wolf again.
I do as he says and walk behind a tree. I place my clothes in a neat pile and prepare to shift.
Hopefully he likes what we look like. After some research with Luna Adeline I found out that there is no other red wolf recorded anywhere. Another reason I wasn't aloud to shift. I was different.
Different is bad.
As I shift I embrace the feeling of my bones snapping into their different positions.
Once I'm fully shifted I walk to the clearing and lay down. Loving the feeling of the earth underneath my belly.
A black paw comes into my line of sight and I realize Lucas has been watching me.
I roll onto my back and then to my stomach, showing how happy I am to play.
Let me have control! Please?
Alright. Do whatever Kenna just not anything stupid.
Like I'm ever stupid.
This will be interesting...
