Chapter 101

Heath
She was the loveliest creature I had ever laid eyes on.
Mate.
No. No, no, no. This could not be. This could not happen. Her father would be furious. He would dismiss me as squad leader. I had worked so hard to become a warrior and rise in the ranks of the pack. I had come from nothing, not like this girl, Fae Royalty and the daughter of an Alpha Wolf.
I entered her room. She quickly stepped out of my way, no longer resisting or protesting, just staring at me with wide eyes. I shut the door for some privacy. No one could overhear what I was about to say. No one could know. I was anxious the guards at the end of the hallway through the double doors would come to check on her. It was incredibly inappropriate for me to be alone with her in her room like this. It was even more incriminating considering the situation.
“Where are your ladies-in-waiting?” I asked, looking around.
She had strewn her fine dresses and jewellery all over the floor for God knows what reason. My eyes trailed over her form. She was shorter than I had expected, about five and a half feet. She had flawless olive skin and long chocolate waves of hair swirling about her. She was shapely under the thin nightgown she wore. There was something haunting about her eyes. I looked away from them, focusing on her full l!ps.
“Shall I send for them?” She asked breathlessly.
She was fidgeting nervously and edging closer to me.
“No, there’s no need. Get dressed. I’m taking you to your father,” I said sternly.
She was mere inches away now. Her scent made my knees buckle but I steadied myself and kept my expression neutral and my tone authoritative.
“Ok,” she said softly, being shockingly compliant.
Her cheeks flushed. She played with a glossy lock of her hair. Her nightgown was somewhat sheer. I struggled not to look at her supple bre*asts and the indentation of her wa!st accentuated by the fullness of her h!ps. I knew her legs would be beautiful and smooth under the fabric.
“Will you ask him?” She asked shyly.
“Ask him what?” I said curtly.
She giggled, her blush deepening.
“Ask him to…court me?” She said, lowering her voice for the last two words for which I was grateful.
“No one can know of this,” I said to her, meeting her eyes, trying to impress upon her the seriousness of the situation.
“Heath,” she murmured.
“Stop,” I hissed.
Her saying my name like that was making me weak.
“Go, get dressed so I can deliver you to your father,” I repeated.
“When will we ask my father then? When will we tell him?” She asked, her eyes pleading with me.
I shut my eyes tightly.
“Hesper, just get dressed,” I implored her.
She frowned. She bit her l!p.
“Are you…disappointed by me?” She asked. “Physically?” She added.
“No,” I said softly. “You’re beautiful now go get dressed,” I beseeched her.
“Why won’t you tell my father about us being mates?” She asked, raising her voice slightly, a note of hysteria entering her tone.
“Shhh,” I hissed, grabbing her shoulders and instantly regretting that.
Tingles spread through both of us and she m0aned softly just from that simple touch. She was younger than I and inexperienced. She began to get w*et. I could not chance the guards smelling her arousal.
“Hesper, please, go, take a bath quickly and get dressed,” I begged.
She frowned. She looked close to tears at my abrasiveness. She regarded me reproachfully for a moment, seemingly angry at my rebuffing of her. Then, she sighed and turned away. She stopped suddenly in her tracks and slowly turned back to me. She walked right up to me and slipped her nightgown off her shoulders, bearing her perfect nu*de form to me. My wolf and I lost it.
I grabbed her by her shoulders and pushed her towards the bed, pinning her under me. She m0aned, eagerly wrapping her legs around my wa!st and her arms around my neck.
“Heath,” she whimpered, pressing her bre*asts to my chest, trying to create some friction between us as she clamped her thighs more tightly around my wa!st, forcing my pelvis downwards. I instantly got hard. Painfully hard. She rubbed herself against my er*ect member eagerly.
“Just take me,” she begged. “Take me and then I’ll get dressed afterwards and go to the meeting. Deal?”
“No, that’s crazy,” I said, pulling away but she tightened her grip on me.
“Hesper, calm down, we can’t,” I breathed soothingly.
I k!ssed her forehead causing more tingles to erupt between us. She m0aned softly under me, trying to entice me with her softness, her sweetness, her nu*de perfect body and her gorgeous face.
“Just a k!ss then,” she whispered.
I nodded. It was just one k!ss. What harm could it do? It would hopefully placate her enough to get her dressed and ready.
She grinned at me, cupping my face in her soft smooth hands. Her nose brushed against mine. My d!ck hardened just from that. She pressed her l!ps to mine. I kept my l!ps firmly shut. The softness of her pouty l!ps disarmed me. I rumbled in satisfaction, moving my l!ps against hers, coaxing her mouth open. I slipped my tongue into her sweet soft mouth. It felt so good. My wolf growled within me. I stroked her tongue with mine slowly, lovingly. Before I knew it, I was planting open-mouthed k!sses down her neck. She gasped as my canines lengthened and teased the flesh of her would-be marking spot.
“Make me yours,” she whispered eagerly. “Mmm, Heath,” she cooed.
My rough palms were pressing against the delicate skin of her inner thighs as I pushed them further apart. She opened her legs for me eagerly, widening the gap between them, letting her flower unfold for me. The scent of her s*x filled the room. Delicious. I wanted to taste her. I k!ssed my way downwards, enjoying her sweet soft responses. I reached the tender skin under her navel and su*cked on it. I ran my tongue from the dip of her navel to the top of her mound. I slid my hands under her, gripping the globes of her behind and squeezing them as my tongue parted her folds, her heavenly sweet taste exploding on my tongue. She gasped at the sensation. I plunged my tongue in her, searching for her tender little bud. The primal me was eager to give my mate as much pleasure as possible. The rational me was terrified. Several minutes ago my future had seemed bright. Now I was a few minutes from earning my place in the dungeon. I was defiling a princess, the princess, the Alpha’s only daughter.
“Yes, yes, Heath, ohh, yes,” she gasped.
I had her yummy little bud in my mouth. I su*cked on it eagerly. I swirled my tongue around it. I gripped her butt cheeks, kneading them, using them as leverage to press her se*x into my face as I inhaled it and tasted it to my heart’s content.
“We can’t do this,” I whispered against her skin, slowly coming to my senses though my mind was hazy.
“We already are. I’m so close. Please Heath! Daddy won’t smell anything odd. It’s not the same as mating,” she reasoned, pushing her s*x towards my face desperately.
I would like to say that I pushed her away, made her put some clothes on and delivered her to her father and never dared to be alone with her or breathe her name ever again. But l**t is a powerful thing and this was more than just simple l**t. We would undoubtedly be compatible. We were fated mates.
So, I plunged my tongue back inside of her, enjoying every sweet soft little whimper as I ravished her se*x with my tongue, l!ps and teeth, until she came against my face, stifling her own screams with her hands clasped over her mouth as I had instructed. Her thighs were quivering. I got off of her. She sat up on the edge of the bed shakily. Her org*asm had taken her from dangerously beautiful to drop-dead gorgeous. Her hair was tousled just right, her cheeks flushed prettily, her bre*asts heaving, her nose slightly pink, her eyes bright with excitement.
“Get dressed,” was all I could say as I tried to catch my breath. “No more protesting,” I added.
She got up and stood very close to me.
“Don’t you want…me to do the same?” She suggested, her fingertips touching my belt lightly.
“No,” I said gruffly, looking her dead in the eyes.
She sighed but went to her bathroom. She came out less than five minutes later, fully dressed but with her hair sopping w*et. She was sniffling, her eyes red and her nose pinker than before as she tried to towel-dry her hair quickly.
“Leave it,” I said.
“I look a mess,” she complained.
“You look gorgeous. You know that. Let’s just go,” I said impatiently, hating myself for making her cry.Content (C) Nôv/elDra/ma.Org.
Her cheeks tinged pink at the compliment. She dropped the towel and came towards me.
“Heath…are you married?” She asked, her eyes wide with worry.
“No,” I laughed.
She breathed a sigh of relief. She flung herself into my arms. I hugged her back against my better judgement, trying to get my fill now before we left this room and could not touch.
“No girlfriend, right?” She added.
“Nope, bachelor, let’s go,” I said sternly, yanking her towards the door.
“I’m engaged,” she said quietly when we were in the hallway.
I kept my expression impassive but my heart was throbbing painfully. I marched her over to the coliseum, straight to the Alpha’s private box.
“Alpha Otto, your daughter, Princess Hesper, is here,” I said, stepping aside so that she might greet her father.
She simply frowned at him and sat as far away from him as she possibly could.
“Gorgeous. Just like her mother,” commented Alpha Romeo.
The other two Alphas agreed.
My wolf snarled. I quieted him.
You have to save me, Heath, she said softly in my mind.
I kept my expression unfathomable, standing dutifully beside my Alpha after having just given his daughter what was probably her first s****l experience.
I don’t love him. He’s my cousin! They’re making me marry my cousin! Just for the sake of the lineage, she explained, glancing back at me with frightened desperate eyes.
It’s a miracle that I meet my mate now. Right before they give me away against my will. I know you’re meant to save me, she said looking up at me with so much admiration in her eyes it terrified me.
I can’t help you. I’m sorry, I said quickly.
You don’t mean that. Please, don’t lie to me. Please, Heath, I’ve been lied to my whole life. Please, be honest with me, she begged.
In different circumstances, I would be with you, I said simply.
Please, Heath, I’m scared, she said, her eyes filling with tears.
“Hesper, please, today is a day of celebration of peace among the four Northern Packs,” muttered Alpha Otto, annoyed at her tears.
She made a strangled little sound and got up, trying to leave. I stood in her way. If she left right away, it would seem like I didn’t really properly accomplish the task of persuading her to be here.
Please, stay, I said.
She looked at me, anger in her eyes now. The Alpha had looked impressed when I brought her here, thinking me not up to the task to persuade his wayward daughter. I didn’t want to discredit the one time I had impressed him.
Shh, Baby, stay, please, I said.
God, it felt good to talk to her like that but I felt guilty as well for confusing her, deceiving her. It wasn’t deception. I did want her. I was just resigned to the fact that I could not have her.
Baby, sit back down, please, like your Dad wants. I’m right here, right behind you, I cooed in her mind.
She bit her l!p. Her cheeks flushed. She sat back down slowly. I handed her my handkerchief.
“Thanks,” she said, beaming at me, seemingly grateful for a reason to interact with me.
It smells like you, she whispered to me, using it to dry her eyes, as she calmed herself down.
Good, Baby, just like that, Hesper, Honey, calm down, I purred.
I wish you could hold me, she said, her voice shaky.
Imagine I am. Imagine I’m holding you from behind right now, I said encouragingly as I stepped closer to her so she could smell my scent and feel my heat better.
I know about you, you know. They say you could take down an army alone. That you’re such a gifted fighter, she said.
Thank you, Baby, I said.
Her voice was so sweet. She was just a girl. Eighteen. What did she know about anything? I felt sorry for her. But there were worse situations than being a pampered princess having to do what you’re told, marry who was chosen for you.
Tonight, we can discuss it. You can break me out of here, she said simply.
I almost snorted with laughter. The Ice Moon Castle was a fortress, as if I could manage that. And why would I even try? For her? She was as pretty as a picture but what good would that do me?
She looked back at me and I averted my eyes, not able to take seeing all the devotion in hers. She didn’t even know me. She was just in a desperate situation. She would have thrown herself at any warrior who had knocked on her door. I sighed. Perhaps, not any warrior. We were mates.
Talk to me, Heath, Baby. You’re too quiet. I need to hear your voice to stay calm, she pleaded.
My heart constricted painfully.
I’m right here, I reminded her with a hand on the back of her chair that I hoped no one noticed.
Heath, tell me things, happy things, she begged.
Um, I…I was at a loss for words.
She pretended to rub her own shoulder as though it hurt. Maybe it did. While she did that, she stretched her fingers and trailed their tips across my hand on her chair, instantly causing heat to erupt in my t0rso.
Hesper, don’t! I chastised.
Sorry, she mumbled softly.
I can’t control myself if you do that, I admitted.
She smiled to herself playfully.
I’m a virgin, you know, she said out of the blue.
I know, I said curtly.
She was trying to ruffle my feathers.
I’ve never taken a c**k. You explored me yourself. I’m tight. I bet your c**k is huge, she said suddenly.
I could not help the slow smile that spread across my face.
I bet it’s thick and long and it would be hard for me. It will barely fit. But I’ll manage for you. You can do whatever you want with me, however roughly you want. I can handle it, she teased.
Hesper, I warned her.
Don’t you wanna put your big thick hard c**k in my tight little p***y? She asked.
I was gripping the back of her chair.
I could get up now and go somewhere nice and private and you could follow me. You could carry me off and have your way with me. You can pound me as hard as you want, she said unabashedly.
She was insane. What game was she playing?
I’m going to get up now to go to the bathroom and I’m going to tell my Dad you need to escort me to keep me safe, she whispered.
No, Hesper, don’t, I said gruffly.
Why? Big bad wolf afraid of little red riding hood? She taunted.
Stop it, I growled.
You can take me from behind too. You can also let me return the favour. Don’t you wanna make me choke and splutter on your big warrior c**k? She asked.
I let go of her chair and walked away from the private area. I headed to the nearest bathroom for high-ranking pack members though not quite the one for pack leaders. I found a stall quickly and locked the door. I was painfully hard and throbbing. Hesper was driving me crazy. She was devious. She was devilish. She was going to find me and I would end up balls deep in her. I wanted her so badly already and she knew just what to say to drive me f*****g crazy. How did a little virginal teenager know how to talk like that, to entice a grown man? I was seven years older than her. Twenty-five. She was eighteen! The bathroom door creaked open. I heard the sound of heels. Heels in the men’s room. f**k. Hesper. She walked up to the stall I was in.
“Open up,” she said, giggling.
“Go away,” I growled as venomously as I could.
“I’m really w*et down there. Can you smell it?” She asked.
I could. She surely wasn’t lying about that.
“I can probably handle you with how w*et I am right now,” she said breathlessly.
“Why are you doing this to me?” I croaked out.
She was fidgeting strangely outside.
“What are you doing?” I asked nervously, scared she would climb into my stall and I would jack her up against the wall and f**k her senseless until I poured my seed inside her. Worse yet, I would probably mark her instinctively if we ended up f*****g. Her scent suddenly became extra potent.
“Hesper,” I hissed, worried.
She held something, dangling it over the stall. Her underwear. Her tiny lacy white underwear w*et with her fluids. She dropped it and my reflexes struck without thought. I grabbed it and instinctively before I could resist, I brought it to my nose, inhaling deeply. I sighed.
“It’ll help you relieve yourself,” she whispered as I stroked my huge hard length in one hand and used the other to keep her delicious panty close to my nose as I breathed it in.
“You smell good to me too!” She said softly.
I kept squeezing and tugging my own shaft gently between my thumb and my inner finger.
“I want something that smells like you too…please,” she said softly and sweetly.
“Come in your boxers for me and give it to me, pretty please! I wanna sleep with it since you might not show,” she said sadly.
Her words brought me over the edge. I grunted spilling into my own hand and sprinkling my boxers. I wiped my hand in my boxers. I could not believe I was doing this. I took my boxers off, cleaned myself and put my pants on. I gave her the boxers over the stall without opening the door to face her. She squealed in delight. I could not help the smile that formed on my face.
“Thank you!” She whispered excitedly.
“Hesper,” I said softly.
I was gonna end up in the dungeon. I just knew it. Or worse.
“Yeah? Heath?” She whispered.
“Leave your window unlocked for me tonight,” I said softly.
