RonanWhen we walked into the dining room, Elias, Maribel, Nyra, and Carter were already seated, chatting loudly as they waited for us. Maribel stood as we sat down and began plating food for us. For the first time since Carter came to the capital, I actually acknowledged him. Whatever it was that he had told Delaney had partially worked in pushing her to acceptance of the marking."Could you please pass the salt, Carter?" I said, stretching my hand. His Adam's apple bobbed up and down as he handed me the salt, his hand shaking subtly. He couldn't meet my eyes even though he was trying so hard. I gave him a tight nod for a thank you, and I could have sworn the corner of his mouth twitched into a brief smile."So, you will all be glad to know that your backstabbing actually worked, partially. The alpha kings will be marking me on the day of the mating ceremony." Delaney spoke, slicing a roasted potato."It will be the highlight of the day," Kai added, closing his eyes as he probably im
Alpha Kai"Do you think our plan worked?" Ronan asked Maribel, leaning over the kitchen counter."We won't know until you speak to her," Gigi replied, opening the oven. The smell of her marinated roasted chicken and potatoes filled the kitchen, making my mouth water."Let me help with that," I offered, taking the kitchen towel from her to help take out the tray. The moment I set it on the counter, Ronan stretched his hand to pick a piece. Gigi slapped his hand, making him withdraw it quickly."Wash your hands first for goodness sake, Ronan!" She chastised him as he pouted like a scolded pup, making me let out a light laugh. Gigi made us forget that we were grown men, treating us like her own children."Where were we?" I asked, setting the towel aside as Gigi filled the meat in a serving dish. It was almost dinner time, but Delaney, Nyra, and Elias had yet to be back."Delaney," Ronan mumbled, staring at the dish as Gigi covered i
Delaney"Do the unmated she-wolves really think they could have a chance with the alpha kings?" I spoke out loud, pacing across my room, hand on my chin, with the index finger tapping on my lips."What if Carter is right?" I whispered, stopping just beside my bed. Looking around, I heaved a sigh, eventually sitting on the edge of the bed, eyes fixed on the wall as the thoughts in my mind took over.There was Chloe first, and even though I hadn't heard about her since the stunt she tried pulling, she thought she had a chance with Ronan. Then there was Vex, parading herself as the superior one. And Carter, I mean, honestly speaking, if I had truly been marked, then he wouldn't have dared to even think sexually about me. I knew a mate's mark changed even my scent, it showed everyone that I was taken and that they had no chance."Guess what?" Nyra burst in my room, grinning like she had won the lottery. I just glanced at her, then with one shake of my head turned back my eyes to the wall
DelaneyI didn't go to Nyra's room, not with Carter inside there, and neither did I go back to my room. The last thing I wanted was to stay locked up in there and find myself lost in thoughts. I didn't want to run into my mates either, because I needed time to think about the marking thing. A lot was going on, and at that time I didn't want to let anything stress me. So I wandered to the basement, a space I hadn't explored since I moved to the mansion. No one had mentioned it, not even Elias or Maribel. To my luck, the door was not locked, just closed.I hit the light switch at the beginning of the staircase and slowly went down, my flip-flops gently slapping against the carpeted stairs. I didn't know what to expect, but it certainly wasn't what my gaze fell on."Woah!" I breathed in the empty space, looking at framed pictures of a very beautiful woman."She looks like mom," I spoke out loud, my eyes widening."No way," I whispered, approaching the picture on the wall directly opposit
DelaneyI was heading to Nyra's room to hang out when suddenly Maribel's door opened, and before I could blink, I was yanked inside without any warning."What the—"Elias covered my mouth quickly with his hand, muffling the last word. "We need to talk," he whispered while I peeled his hand off me."Did you have to ambush me like that and put your—""Lower your voice Delaney, the coast is not clear," Maribel spoke nonchalantly, giving a nod to Elias. He let go, whispering an apology."What is the meaning of this?" I asked in a low voice, trying so hard not to shout at them for the stunt they had just pulled."Relax, Carter and Nyra are in the next room. We wouldn't want them to hear about the spell now, would we?" Maribel questioned.My heart jumped a bit. "Carter is in there?" I pointed in the direction of Nyra's room, a million questions bombarding my mind."How am I going to face him after what my dad did? Wait," I raised my hand in the air. "What if Nyra has already told him?" My e
Delaney"What if someone's watching?" I asked breathlessly as Kai peppered a kiss on the corner of my mouth."No one would dare disturb the alpha kings. You can try sniffing any scents around us; we are all alone here," Ronan assured, moving his palms gently over my globes."The only scent you'll sniff out is your sweet arousal anyway," Kai added with a wicked grin, lifting me up. I wrapped my legs around him, hissing when the length of his cock came into direct contact with my heat. I wrapped my arms around his neck, holding my breath as his cock parted my folds, then settled directly on my slit.I was seconds from begging him to get inside me when he moved his hips upward, barely getting inside me. "Fucking tight," he grunted, pushing deeper and deeper, my moans filling the air."Oh god," I cried out when he picked up momentum, driving inside me with such precision that he hit my sweet spot in the first few thrusts."B-ig," I stammered, feeling every inch of him, skin to skin, my wa
