Mated to the Alpha King-Book 1 novel Chapter 8

A blush made its way onto my face as I realized how "intimate" the situation is.

"T-thank you for h-helping me."

Lucas just smiled and lifted me into the tub.

"Anything for my Queen."

He turned to leave but something over came me and resulted in what came out of my mouth.

"Don't leave!"

Lucas froze in his tracks and slowly turned around to face me.

"Are you sure you want me to stay baby?"

A blush appeared on my face as I nodded my head. I couldn't tell if I was blushing from me asking him to stay or if it was the name he called me.

Lucas walked over to me and sat down, just staring into my eyes.

"Do you want me to help you wash your hair?"

I bit my lip and nodded my head, averting my gaze and just looked into the water. I felt two fingers under my chin and the sparks I felt made me want to lean in.

"Don't be embarrassed for needing help. I will do whatever you need me to do. I will always help you."

Lucas removed his fingers from me chin and went behind me. He started to make my hair wet before opening a bottle of shampoo.

As Lucas moves my hair to the side I feel him freeze. Shit! My scars!

I can hear his heartbeat getting faster and his breathing is becoming erratic. I slowly turn around to see his eyes are swirling with black, slowly taking over his mesmerizing blue.

"Who. Put. These. Marks. On. You?"

I just looked down and started to run my thumb over my index finger, a habit I developed when I get anxious.

I feel his fingers grip my chin, forcing me to look up.

"Baby, I am having a hard time controlling my wolf. I need to know who did this to you so I can punish them."

I just shake my head, wanting the topic to go away. I don't think Lucas liked this and he gets up and storms out of the bathroom, leaving me with my tears.

Five minutes later and a knock sounds on the door.

"Luna? The Alpha King sent us to help you with the rest of your bath. May we come in."
