Mated to the Alpha: Sold to the King novel Chapter 213

Chapter 213: 0213

Lorelei POV

I frowned, wondering if his scent had actually changed or if my senses were simply becoming more sensitive now that my wolf was slowly waking up. Maybe it was the latter. I honestly had no idea. All I knew was that I couldn’t seem to get enough of him.

I breathed him in again and pressed myself closer, practically burying my face against his neck. His warmth surrounded me along with that intoxicating scent, and for some reason, I suddenly had the ridiculous urge to stay right there forever.

I wanted to drown in it.

Actually, maybe I was already halfway there.

Without really thinking about it, I leaned in and lightly nibbled at the side of his neck, copying the exact thing he was always doing to me.

"What are you doing?" he asked, tilting his head slightly as he looked at me with an amused expression.

"You smell very edible," I murmured against his skin, taking another bite that made him chuckle softly.

"I’ll take that as a compliment," he murmured, and I couldn’t help the little smile that pulled at my lip.

But after another second, I reluctantly pulled back and looked over his shoulder. "What about you? Did you sleep well?"

As I spoke, my eyes dropped to the closed laptop sitting on his thighs, but Kaelen followed my gaze.

The next second, he sighed before picking it up and placing it on the nightstand. "Not really. Some last-minute work came up that I needed to clear before the day starts."

Oh.

Just work.

The tiny bit of suspicion I’d been carrying disappeared almost immediately. It was probably some official business, maybe confidential pack matters or something equally boring and important.

"So....." he drawled, shifting slightly so he could look at me properly. "Do you have any plans for today?"

"If I had plans, wouldn’t you be the first to know about them?"

It was the truth. After all, Kaelen was the Alpha King, and somehow, he had always managed to keep track of almost every part of my schedule around here.

That earned another warm chuckle from him. "That’s true." He paused, his amber eyes softening as he ran a hand through his tousled hair. "The interior designer for your chambers is coming today. They’ll be starting on the actual changes, so I want you there while they work. You can keep an eye on everything and make sure they’re doing it exactly the way you want."

I nodded almost immediately, unable to hide the excitement that bubbled up at the thought of finally getting to customize a space that was actually mine. I had already spent way too much time imagining what I wanted to do with the room, so the fact that it was finally happening made me ridiculously happy.

"What about you?" I asked, glancing at the laptop he’d just set aside. "You’re already working, so are you going to be busy the whole day?"

The brief hesitation in his eyes gave me my answer before he even opened his mouth.
