Filed to story: The Alpha King’s Intoxicating Mate
“I um, will, of course, summon an omega immediately King Kace” Alpha Johnathon said, looking confused.
The omega came and led us out, King Kace reaching for my hand. I felt the tingles again and inhaled sharply. “You will be safer in my room” he murmured in a low tone so that only I could hear him “I do not trust them not to try and retaliate by hurting you somehow.”
I relaxed. The omega opened the door to the large bedroom and King Kace ushered me in. I sat on the bed, blushing as he grabbed his suitcase. He opened it and grabbed some clothes. I turned away, listening to the sounds of him getting dressed.
“You can look if you want,” he said teasingly, making me blush bright red.
I ducked and he laughed. I bit my lip, feeling nervous. “Um, King Kace,” I said softly, wanting to confirm my suspicions.
“Yes?” he said gruffly.
“Are we mates?”
Silence. He walked over and grabbed my chin, his eyes staring deeply into mine “Do you feel those tingles as I touch you?”
I nodded slowly.
He gave a slow grin “That’s the mate bond.”
He let go. I wasn’t finished though. I took a deep shuddering breath and then blurted out my deepest darkest fear. “Are you going to reject me?”
I had no wolf. I was practically a human. He was a freaking Alpha King! My nerves were shot as I anxiously waited for his reply. He was silent, his eyes narrowed, a thoughtful expression on his face. My heart sank. He was going to do it. He was going to reject me. I could tell. I clasped my hands together tightly, bowing my head down. I felt my breath quicken. I hadn’t even had a chance to tell him about my medical condition. Once he discovered that, it would be all over. It was a miracle I hadn’t had an attack when Alpha Daxton had tried to rape me. Then again, my heart rate had slowed when Kace touched me.
“It’s complicated,” King Kace said finally, looking away “For the moment I have no intentions of rejecting you. But I cannot say any more than that. It will have to do for now,” he told me. “We will discuss everything properly when we are back at my pack. How old are you?” he asked as though it was an afterthought.
“Eighteen tomorrow” I whispered “the same day as Brynn Ryker whose party you’re attending.”
He nodded. “You may get your wolf tomorrow,” he said briskly and my heart sank some more. Was that what he was waiting for? Was he hoping that my wolf would magically appear? Suddenly turning eighteen didn’t seem quite so appealing to me.
King Kace POV
“I would like to explore the grounds,” I told Leah who looked at me surprised “Would you mind accompanying me? Perhaps give me a tour of the pack house?” I suggested lightly.
She bit her lip and then nodded. I glanced at what she was wearing and frowned. “Wait here,” I told her, stepping out and waving down an omega. I instructed her on what to get and minutes later she came back, her arms piled high with clothes. I thanked her and brought them into the room, Leah’s eyes widening as she took in the vast array and vibrancy of the colors.
“I hope they fit” I murmured “You can hardly wear my shirt as fetching as I think it looks” I added, making her blush. She was so adorable and so innocent.
“I’ll wait in the corridor” I added hastily. She nodded, rifling through the clothes as I opened the door and sidled out. I was not impressed when Cordelia came towards me, just as Leah opened the door and came outside, dressed in a simple pair of sweatpants and shirt, her hair loose and flowing down her shoulders. She looked cute and youthful. I smiled, but Leah frowned as Cordelia stomped her foot in front of us, acting like a spoilt child instead of an adult woman.
“Kace” she hissed “this has gone on far enough. I will not be left to sit alone in the kitchen while you gallivant about with this…this girl.”
“Cordelia, I must insist that you keep your voice down,” I said tiredly.
Leah just smiled “It’s nice to meet you, Cordelia,” she said graciously.
Cordelia scowled at her. “The feeling isn’t mutual” she hissed, raising her nose in the air “Kace why aren’t you rejecting her?” she snarled, her eyes flashing with anger.
Leah stiffened. I glared at Cordelia. She had no business speaking about this in front of my mate. “Cordelia” I snapped “this is none of your concern.”
Didn’t she know when to keep her mouth shut? Did she think she had the right to do so?
“We had a deal,” Cordelia said recklessly “and you’re breaking it” she cried, feigning tears as I swallowed hard, sensing the anger of my mate who stood there, watching the two of us talk.
