Pregnant and Rejected by My Alpha Mate novel Chapter 68

NUPAL

Bastien’s POV

“Bastien, I’m fine!” Selene insists, spreading her arms wide to show me the veracity of her words, “See, all healed.”

It’s true that the gashes and bite marks that once littered her body have already faded to the faintest scratches and bruises, no doubt accelerated by the healing power of her Volana blood. Even so, I refuse to risk it.

si?

“It’s too soon.” | decree, nudging her back towards the bed. She’s been trying to convince me to let her leave the makeshift infirmary all day long, too anxious about everything going on to stay put. Wrangling her has been surprisingly difficult, it seems I can’t turn my back without her trying to sneak out. If I had any doubts that my little wolf found her strength during our time apart, her rebellious behavior today has cer tainly erased them.

HOT

As if reading my mind, my mate crosses her arms over her chest. “I’m not the fragile halfling you mar ried, Bastien. I have my wolf again, I can recover at twice the rate most shifters can and you know it.”

“The doctor’s orders were to rest at least two days.” I remind her, “regardless of how well you might feel, your body has been through a lot and you need to give it a chance to recover.”

“I need to talk to Drake.” She sighs, “and I want to see Lila.”

“Whatever you need to say to Drake can wait.” I state coolly. We both know that conversation will not be easy. “And I will gladly bring Lila for a visit.”

Selene flops back on the bed with a dramatic sigh. “I don’t want a visit, I want out of this room.”

Trying not to smile, I lean forward, bracing my hands on the mattress and looming over the disgruntled little wolf. “One more day.” I promise huskily, “And if you’re a good girl and stop trying to escape, I’ll give you a reward.”

Curiosity piqued, Selene eyes me suspiciously. “What kind of reward?”

My cheeks split with a wide grin, and I lower my head until our mouths are nearly touching. ‘The kind you won’t soon forget – Mate.”

Desire and anticipation overtake Selene’s frustration. The scent of her arousal rises to fill my senses, the change so swift that I groan. Goddess, she must be even closer to her heat than I realized.

Even as I think the words, a flush travels up Selene’s body and she shudders uncontrollably. Her beauti ful eyes widen, her plump lips parting on a gasp.

Not close. Axel corrects me, already ravenous for her. It’s here.

He’s right, her luscious scent transforms within seconds. I never believed it was possible to want my mate any more than I already did. I never cared that she didn’t have her wolf, she’s always smelled com pletely exquisite and utterly irresistible.

This is different,

This is so much more than an aroma. It’s a drug; a powerful narcotic that fills me with a primal need unlike anything I’ve ever experienced. My wolf is quickly losing control, my rut already beginning.;

“Bastien?” My little wolf is looking up at me with confusion and fear. Her voice is soft and hoarse, clearly overwhelmed and looking to me for answers.

“It’s alright.” I assure her, “It’s just your heat.”

*Chapter 69 Heat

I don’t know why I’m saying it’s alright. If we were in any other circumstances it would be, however Se lene isn’t in any condition to handle the rough, animalistic mating heats elicit,

She’s practically writhing beneath me, desperate to ease the ache consuming her form, “Don’t make me wait.” She begs helplessly, “Please Bastien, don’t leave me like this.”

“Fuck.” I groan, dropping my forehead to rest against hers, “Don’t look at me like that, baby.”

I don’t bother fighting my wolf or pushing her away. It wouldn’t be any use – I can’t resist her. Not now, not ever.

Selene’s POV

He’s still sucking and nibbling my breasts, sending jolts of electricity straight to my clit. His fingers crook inside me, massaging that spot that only he can find. I haven’t been sium, but I’ve tried to find pleasure on my own and it’s never the same. The orgasm slams into me without warning, my back arching off the bed as I cry out, bright lights flashing before my eyes

With a sultry growl, Bastien claims my lips once more, extracting long, deep kisses while his fingers continue to gently rub my folds, helping me come down from the high. Only instead of coming down, the continued attention just begins driving me to another peak, and I whimper into his mouth.
