Page 56 of Her Destined Alpha (Alpha #3)

Rayhan

S ex with Delsanra was like nothing I’ve ever experienced before. Mind-blowingly hot and perfect didn’t cut it. Loving someone and making love to them was on another level.

The way she felt, the way she reacted to me, the way she made me feel. The throbbing desire that had consumed me in her presence was quelled, but only for a few seconds because, with her, it was never enough.

The moment I sank my teeth into her neck as I made love to her, nice and slow, I felt the bond strengthen like electrifying sparks sizzling back into place a thousand times stronger than before, thanks to the completion of the bond.

A surge of sparks coursed through me, and her moans sounded like music to my ears, her walls contracting around my dick tightly.

Fuck, she was more than I could ever have dreamt of.

Her orgasm ripped through her, and I groaned.

I extracted my teeth and pulled her off as my own release rushed through me. The haze of pleasure that consumed me was fucking divine. The way strings of my cum ran down her stomach and thighs only made me want to fuck her all over again.

Suddenly something changed. Her eyes blazed a deep reddish gold, a glowing surge of power surrounded her, and for a second, she tensed.

“What the…”

She was in pain. I could sense it through the bond. Worry and panic filled me. I looked her over, not knowing what to do, and cupped her face just as her eyes fluttered shut and she fell backwards.

“Delsanra!” I caught her with one hand, my other cupping her face in panic. She didn’t respond. Her eyes fluttered shut, and she fell unconscious, the power surge around her vanishing.

“Fuck…”

I laid her on the bed, looking her over. What happened? Her breathing was steady, and she wasn’t in pain any longer. What was that?

Her body glistened, and she looked like a vision of pure erotic beauty. Something about the blood and cum that stained her legs only added to how sensual she looked.

I don’t know what happened, but at least she’s okay now… I gathered some of the bed sheet up, wiping the blood and cum off her before wiping myself clean with it. Lifting her, I pulled the top sheet off. Rolling it up, I tossed it aside before slipping her into the blanket.

I inhaled her deeply. Her scent had changed, mixed with mine, and there was something else, something deep and seductive that made my dick harden. I jerked back. Fuck, is that the effect of the mate bond? I’m totally screwed…

I pulled her into my arms, not able to stop the smile that refused to leave my face. My beautiful mate… heck, she looked even more gorgeous than before. Her flushed, glowing cheeks, her plump lips even plumper from all the kissing.

I moved her hair away from her neck, my heart thudding as I looked at my mark upon her.

It was just appearing, but I couldn’t make it out.

I licked it softly, hoping it would be healed by the next day.

I kissed her there softly before pulling her into my chest, wrapping my arms around her completely.

Heck, Kitten… I’m so happy you accepted me.

Delsanra

I awoke to a dull ache between my thighs and something hard poking my lower stomach.

Everything seemed louder, and the sound of Rayhan’s heartbeat was a pleasant hum to my ears.

The smell of sex, blood, and his intoxicating scent filled my nose.

Last night returned to me, and my cheeks flushed.

Rayhan had marked me, and we had made love…

I touched my neck to feel the smoothness. Was I healed already? I knew witches healed faster than humans, and when a werewolf marked his mate, she would inherit some of their abilities. It made sense…

I wanted to see it, but I also didn’t want to leave his arms. I was very aware of what the hard, thick thing between us was. With a burning rush of heat, I also realised we weren’t dressed…

“Relax, Kitten…” he murmured, his hand running up my ass. His fingers slipped between my ass cheeks, making my breath hitch.

“I’m relaxed…” I whispered.

His presence was wrapping around me, and my core ached for him. The attraction that I had thought was so strong before was tenfold more.

His lips crushed against mine as he kissed me deeply. I kissed him back, not caring about how wet I felt, and our tongues played sensually with each other. We broke apart after a moment, and I looked at him breathlessly.

“Last night, what happened?” he asked, looking down at me, concerned.

“I don’t know… I felt a sudden surge of pain and then something shattering, then nothing,” I replied. He frowned.

“It was strange… I saw, like, a glowing aura around you… do you think maybe marking you unleashed your powers?” he asked. I didn’t miss the bit of hope in his eyes.

I tugged away, my heart skipping a beat as I closed my eyes, whispering a spell. I felt the same tug in my chest that I felt every time I pulled at my sealed powers. No, they were still sealed… yet I felt different. I sighed, opening my eyes.

“No... my powers are still sealed,” I remarked, “but I feel stronger. Guess that’s the bond, right?”

“Probably.” He reached over and brushed my hair back, his eyes falling to my neck. “Beautiful…”

“I want to see it,” I said, touching my neck.

“One sec.” He sat up, leaning for something on the ground. The sudden loss of his touch made me feel empty. My heart thundered. Was that what it would feel like every time we were apart? He turned back to me, his phone in hand as he caressed my cheek.

“I’m never leaving you, Kitten.”

“I didn’t say anything.” I pouted as he took a picture of my neck.

“I can kind of sense what you’re thinking.” He smirked, and I frowned.

“That’s a wolfie thing?”

“Kind of.” He winked as he held the phone out to me. I took it, my heart skipping a beat as I looked at the screen nervously.

It was not what I was expecting. There was a full moon, surrounded by flames. One could mistake it for the sun, but it was clearly a moon. In front of the moon was a silhouette of a wolf, its fur a deep navy black, littered with stars and a small moon… just like the night sky.

“What do you think?” he asked softly. My eyes snapped up towards him, and I smiled slightly.

“It’s… beautiful, like you.” He smiled, and I blushed. “Uh, I mean... like your wolf, your wolf is beautiful…”

“Either way, it’s cool,” he said, pulling me into his lap. “I don’t know how, but you look a thousand times more beautiful… if that’s even possible.”

I smiled, locking my arms around his neck, and kissed him. I didn’t care about the future. All I cared about was that no matter what, I had him…

Chris

The following day, Rayhan had mind-linked that he was on his way back. He and Delsanra had stopped at one of the family holiday homes not far from pack grounds. I didn’t know how I’d be able to face him or Raihana. Not after yesterday…

When I left her room, I had felt her powers and rushed inside, knocking her unconscious.

But I wasn’t the only one who had felt the surge of power.

I had instantly mind-linked Lola to get her ass over to handle Raihana, whom I had tucked into her sheets.

Blake had rushed inside the mansion, asking what it was.

Although I brushed it off, he didn’t seem to believe me.

“What was that?” he asked, rushing up the stairs just as I closed Raihana’s door.

“Nothing.”

“I felt something, Chris. Is Raihana okay? How could you leave her alone when something is fucking off!” he growled, pushing the door open. His eyes scanned the room fervently before he stepped back, running a hand through his hair. “Something still isn’t right…”

“I felt it too, but it’s gone, and the warriors are scanning the area. Just calm down, Blake,” I replied moodily.

“Don’t tell me to calm down,” he growled.

“Watch who you’re talking to,” I growled back, my eyes flashing.

He was about to say something when his gaze flicked to my neck, clothes, and hair. Fuck, I probably smelt of her. His eyes flashed before he slammed me against the door.

“What did you do?” he hissed, pressing his arm against my throat.

“Nothing,” I shot back, shoving him off and throwing him to the ground.

A murderous growl made both of us turn to see Lola standing there. Right then, her rank may be lower than mine as she hadn’t taken the position from her father, but she was still the future Beta of this pack. Both of us stopped our fucking spat.

“We felt something across the entire pack premises, and you two are being asshats?” she growled. She looked at me before pushing us both away from each other and entering Raihana’s bedroom.

“I’m going to tell the Alpha,” Blake snapped.

“I’ll do it,” I growled, “I’m the fucking Delta.”

“I will,” Lola snapped in irritation.

I knew I’d have to talk to her. Even if I couldn’t tell her the truth, I could kind of explain this crap.

“Well I wonder what he’d think, knowing what you were fucking up to.”

“Or you’re just fucking jealous that you didn’t get there first,” I growled.

He tensed, and I felt a flare of anger. So, I was fucking right… I scoffed, irritated that he saw her like that. I was about to say more when I stopped. What could I say? It wasn’t like she was mine.

“Stay the fuck away from her,” I hissed.

“Don’t tell me what to do. I’m sure Alpha Rayhan would love to know that his best friend has been messing around with his sister at the first chance he got,” he muttered venomously. My eyes flashed, and I slammed him against the wall in a rage. He wasn’t wrong… I had fucked up… big fucking time.

“Stay out of my way, Blake, or I swear I won’t forgive you,” I growled, walking off.

I sighed. Yeah, I messed up.

Raihana had organised a small party to welcome Delsanra, and it seemed like the girls expected me there. The only problem: I had been avoiding Raihana since the day before. We should never have gone there… the pent-up emotions between us had just gotten out of control.

“Chris! Seriously, can you make yourself useful? Rayhan will be here in the next fifteen minutes; can you please grab the food that we ordered? James said they just took it from the delivery guy.”

“Then get him to deliver it here. I’m not a delivery boy, Lola,” I shot back. She gave me a sceptical look.

Don’t push it, Chris, I still need to talk to you. The state you were in yesterday, and the marks on Raihana’s neck… you fucked up big time, she mind-linked me.

It takes two, I shot back coldly.

But we all know your antics. She can’t be one of your escapades. Ever.

I fucking know.

I walked off. I’d rather get the damn delivery than face Lola and Raihana. I had fucked up big time, and this time around, even my best friend wouldn’t be on my side.

Delsanra

Darkness had fallen , and we left the gorgeous cabin. Rayhan had told me it belonged to his family, and we could return at any time. I would miss it, and it would forever remain a special place in my heart… This is where I was marked and, as Rayhan called it, ‘mated.’

I figured it was going to take me time to get used to the werewolf terminology of things.

My head rested on Rayhan’s shoulder as he drove across the borders of pack territory.

Strangely, I could sense the heartbeats and the rush of blood from passing guards.

I had to shake my head to clear my senses a few times.

I made sure my spell was still in place. For the time being, I was going to pretend to be human. I just hoped no one saw through me like the King.

I was dressed in an off-shoulder purple top that clung to me like a second skin and a pair of dark grey skinny jeans.

It was clear the Queen loved clothes that showed off one’s figure.

Rayhan drank it up every chance he got, and I wouldn’t deny that I liked it.

The way he looked at me had him losing his self-control, and watching his eyes flash from green to grey was rather fascinating.

The only pieces of jewellery I was wearing were the bracelet that Rayhan had put on me yesterday and a pair of studs that Kiara had picked out.

“It’s going to be okay,” Rayhan said, making my stomach flutter at the sound of his voice. Oh god, this bond has amplified everything.

“I know. It’s still nerve-wracking.”

“Tonight, it’s just Chris, Lola, Rose, and Raihana.

You’ve met the other three; I’m sure you and Raihana will have enough in common.

” He gave me a wink, leaning down and kissing my lips.

I couldn’t stop the moan that escaped my lips, not caring that he was driving.

I didn’t want to part from his lips. He forced himself back, looking at the road before quickly stealing another kiss.

“We’re here.” His words sent my stomach into a knot of frenzy, and I looked up at the…

“Wow, what is that?” I paled.

“That is our home, Kitten,” he chuckled, parking the car.

I couldn’t speak, staring up at the luxurious palace before me.

It was by far the biggest, most gorgeous, magical building I had ever seen, and suddenly I felt so small and unworthy.

I suddenly understood what Kiara had meant; the Lycan King’s home was modest in comparison to the marble palace before me, with its balconies, pillars, fountains, and the waterfall that cascaded down one of the walls.

Oh hell... I suddenly felt even smaller...
