Mated to the Alpha King-Book 1 novel Chapter 14

"Okay Doc. You can call me Audrey."

A whimper sounds from outside the door, no doubt coming from Lucas. I couldn't help but let out a giggle. Such a small sound coming from the big bad Alpha King.

"Can I come in yet? I miss my queen."

"Come on in Alpha, we're done."

The door falls off its hinges as Lucas comes flying through the door. It literally fell right onto the ground leaving a hole in the doors place.

"Jeez what a softie. I thought you were supposed to be scary."

I can't help but let out a laugh as I finish saying this. Seriously he tore the door off just because he missed me and we had been apart for only ten minutes. Not that I didn't miss him but obviously I have more self control.

"Thank you Doc. See you later."

Doc just bowed her head and dashed out the door.

Now it was just me and Lucas. Me laughing my butt off in bed and Lucas standing at the foot with an amused smirk on his face.

"You think it's funny to make fun of me little mate?"

"Y-yes!" Another round of laughter and weird wheezing sounds.

Lucas launches himself on the bed and hovers over me. A dangerous glint in his eyes.

All of a sudden he makes contact with my sides and I can't help but laugh. He's tickling me. All I can do is laugh and try to get away.

Lucas starts laughing too until his shirt I'm wearing rises up past my hip bone and all motion freezes.

He gently traces the brand on my hip. Alpha Jordan had branded me the night I first shifted. The mark of the Rapid River pack, permanently stuck on my body. He had pored wolfs bane and silver on the wound to make sure it scared and would never go away.

Lucas' hand slowly went around the mark as he memorized the pattern.

Two drops of water meeting in the middle of a rippling pool.

"That night was what I dreamed of last night. It was the night I first shifted and was the night I killed the Beta. Beta Greg wanted to make me his mate and I always refused, knowing he was just like Jordan. He was beating me and demanding I submit to him and let him mark me but I got angry and shifted. Kenna had full control and ripped his jugular out. She killed two guards who were some of our main tortures and injured four others before Jordan came in, shot me with wolfs bane, and placed the brand on my hip as soon as I shifted back. He threw a silver and wolfs bane mix onto it to make sure it never fully healed."

Lucas just kept tracing the mark as I told him the story behind it.

"You're so strong baby girl. So strong..."

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.
