Perplexed as I watched Cam run to the strange male and wrap her arms around him. I believe I heard Kieran call him Enoch. He knew him? This night couldn't get any weirder.
"Uh Cam?" I said slowly watching them giggle as he spun her around.
Kieran, laughing towards me says , "When he told me he found his mate I did not expect it to be your friend. Did not expect it to be someone you knew." I couldn't hold back my giggle either, the goddess does know what she's doing. I don't know what I would do without Cam. I'm more than grateful that she will be coming with us now. Leaning into Kieran he wraps his arm around my shoulder. "Enoch I hate to cut it short, but we have to leave."
"Wait! My father! He can't stay here. They will use him against us." Cam cried out her concern, wiggling herself out of Enoch's arms.
She's right, Dirge is the last connection either of us have to this pack. If Alpha Jered decides he wants to retaliate which I hope he doesn't, he might use him.
"I'll send a car for him. Mindlink him to expect it in 10 minutes, but he won't get to the pack for a few days since they will be traveling by car."
"Thank you, your Highness, Thank you!" Cam nods with a huge smile as she glances at me.
"Everyone to the jet, now."
After settling in, we were airborne. Everyone was too tired to talk, Cam sat next to me head resting against the window softly snoring. The men were all in the back room briefing each other about what had happened tonight.
My mind keeps racing through the events as well. This morning I was planning on running away to the human city. That is where I was meant to be right now, not in a jet with the Wolf King heading to the Royal Pack. Heading to a whole different territory hours away with my mate. Goddess, I have a mate! The Alpha King is my mate, I cannot believe it. I do not understand it, I try to wrap my head around why the Goddess would pair us. I mean he is the King!
What Alpha Jered was saying made sense, am I qualified to be his mate? To stand by his side? Goddess to be Queen Luna and rule with him? The thought makes me queasy. I'm not strong, I have no aura. He should have an alpha's daughter who has been taught and raised for this role.
Ugh, but the thought of him with someone else sends a pang of agony through my chest.
"Get it together Samantha." shaking my head as if that can expel these thoughts.
"A penny for your thoughts?" Looking up I see Kieran's soft brown eyes staring down at me. I was so lost in thought I didn't even notice when he approached. His stare does something in me. I gulp.
"Uh sure."
"Come lets sit over here" taking my hand and leading me to a more quiet and private area of the plane. Although we know they could all hear if they really wanted too.
Sitting down on an extrawide leather recliner chair. He grabs me by the waist and brings me down into his lap. I gasp. Most of the people here are sleeping or busy with their own tasks, which does not mean they are not aware of us. I stiffen uncomfortably on top of him.
With a smile, "Little Wolf, tell me what's wrong." He whispers as he nuzzles his face into the crock of my neck. I want to melt into the embrace but I can't. I just… can't. The awareness of people around and we just met a few hours ago is something I can't shake. I push back a bit and sit up straight on his lap.
Confessing unable to hide my blush, "There's too many people who can see us."
"I promise they do not care and most are sleeping." As he is trying to bring me back down into his face. Panicking, putting my hands on his shoulders, "Your Highness, I can't", shaking my head hating myself because goddess I want to. I really really want to. His scent is intoxicating, over welling. I'm having to squeeze my legs together, afraid he will smell my arousal.
He gives a low growl, sending skitters of shivers down my spine. A bit of fear knowing what he is capable of now. Also excitement rushing through me at what he is capable of. Goddess this is embarrassing, trying not to squirm on top of this man.
"Never call me that again. Anything else, Kieran maybe, but never that. Never you." He growled out angrily. "You are my mate, my equal, my female." Caressing my face with one hand. Loving the warmth of him I greedily lean into it, closing my eyes. "I can't be your equal, there's nothing about me to suggest that I can even think of being your equal." He brings my forehead to his, I can taste his breath on mine. Feel his heartbeat with my hands. I squirm a little holding back a whimper.
"The Moon Goddess thinks there is, my wolf thinks there's" landing a soft gentle kiss on my lips " and I know there is".
I huff his disbelief at his words, he says them with such confidence as if his words are automatically law. Something bubbles in my chest, "You don't know me, how can you be so sure?"
" I don't need to know you, to know that you are perfect for me in every way. I feel it in my bones, down deep in my soul. Every inch of me screams for you, where you are close. When we touch?" He grabs my hand, lifting it up, interlacing our fingers, kissing each knuckle before saying, " It is as if I have been living half of who I am, dazed, half alive this whole time. I was drowning and having found you is like taking a fresh breath of air. Maybe you are right, we are not equals because I don't think I can compare to the magnitude of what you are, little wolf."
I have no words. I just stare at him, not understanding how he can say such words. How he can feel so strongly. I feel as if my heart had expanded ten times over with just his words alone. Fuck this cannot be happning and not this quickly. This male will ruin me if I'm not careful, but fuck I don't want to be cruel with him either. I want to dive head first with no life jacket and see where we end up.
I'm absolutely positive this male, this king will ruin me. And I'm not going to stop him.
I do the only thing I know, I grab his face and kiss him. Gently at first as if testing the waters, but when he instantly responds something snaps within me. I lift up swinging a leg over his lap straddling him. His hands come straight to my waist adjusting me, placing me exactly where I want him, I let out a whimper, too bad for the many layers dividing us.
The kiss intensifies, dragging my hands through his hair. His tongue parting my lips begging for entry, I open. Goddess, the taste of him, is like anything I have ever experienced. My body grinds against him on its own searching for a closer connection, a friction, these damned clothes.
An involuntary moan escapes me. His hands sliding underneath my filthy dress has me arching me back into him more. I have never wanted anyone as much as I wanted, no needed him. It passed desire or lust or need; it was primal, an instinctual pull within me pleading me. Pleading us to join and Goddess if I didnt give into it I would scream. I bit his bottom lip, sucking it into my mouth, he leaned forward bucking his hips upwards hitting that sweet spot making me gasp. He groaned and I nearly became undone. Goddess this male….
*cough cough*
Pulling back from his lips, I see Kieran's Beta looking downwards to his feet. I instantly cover my face with my hands on Kieran's shoulder. Mortified! I had completely forgotten the plane was filled with people!
Oh goddess they probably heard us! Scented our arousal! Please still be sleeping.
"Yes Callen?" Kieran growled out through gritted teeth.
"Uh, yes well the pilot says we will be landing soon and would like a word since we are all awake now, Sir." I died. I think I died a little inside. He nods and rushes away. Goddess swallow me whole. He basically said they can all hear us. I truly wanted to die.
Kieran lifts my head from his shoulders brushing my hair from face with a laugh. "No need to be embarrassed little wolf, it is a good thing that the Royal pair is…. getting along" He says with a smirk. The asshole. He's enjoying this. With another laugh he kisses forehead, sets me on the seat next to his, and gets up to speak to the pilot. I can barely move. I cannot believe I just did that with so many people around. What the hell had gotten into me. Kieran just laughed! The Bastard just laughed and stood up as if it were normal. Oh goddess, is it normal for him? I am not expecting the man to be a saint, but has he done this before, with other she-wolves on planes? My stomach churns. I'm going to be sick. My face in my hands, I can't show my face now, What am I supposed to say?
"Well that was quite the fucking show Anastasia Grey!" Cam screeches, laughing her ass off.
Fucking Hell.
