Saint barks a laugh. "Haven't you figured it out that your mate is the king of all wolves?"
I stop in my tracks, mouth agape. "W-what?"
Kael grimaces. "I thought you would realize when you learned my name. When you didn't, I figured it was best to wait until I got you home to explain. I didn't want to spook you after everything you've been through."
"I can't be mated to a king!" I say incredulously, tears filling my eyes. "No way. There's got to be a mistake. I'm a nobody!"
Kael immediately pulls me into his arms and lifts me off my feet. I wrap my trembling body around his as he carries me inside. I bury my face in the crook of his neck, breathing in his comforting scent. How can I possibly be mated to sucha powerful Alpha? If he's the king… once we mate, that would make me the queen.
Oh, sweet Goddess, what have you done?
It doesn't take long until we're alone in a room that smells of my mate. He sits with me on his lap and runs his fingers through my hair.
"You're okay, little wolf."
"I can't be your mate," I wail, tears falling faster.
I can feel his worry and anger at my words. Surprisingly, our bond is already making itself known, and without us being marked. Our bond is stronger than I ever thought possible. Nothing about what my parents taught me regarding mate bonds talked about such a connection.
"You are my mate, Sera. Make no mistake about that. You're mine and I'm yours."
"But—"
He cuts me off. "No buts. We are Goddess-given mates, and she never makes mistakes about such things. We are fated to each other in this life and the next."
I let his words wash over me. He's right. I've trusted in the Goddess my whole life, and she's obviously had a hand in guiding me down this path. As scary as it might be, I need to trust that she knows what's best and that she's gifted me the right mate.
After a few deep breaths, I'm able to get myself under control. "I don't know how to be a queen. I've spent most of my life living in a small cabin apart from my pack. I can't even begin to imagine what being a queen will entail."
He chuckles. "You don't have to worry about that. I'll be by your side the whole time."
I study his dark eyes and see nothing but truth in them. Feeling brave, I cup his cheeks with both hands and press my lips to his. I intended it to be a quick, sweet kiss, but the momentour lips connect, I lose all control. It doesn't take long for him to take charge. In seconds, he has me on my back with his big body hovering over me, his lips devouring mine.
I gasp as he pins me to the bed. I cling to his shoulders, rubbing myself against his hard length as I seek my pleasure. Our tongues dance as we grind together. The scent of my arousal surrounds us. Kael lets out a low groan that's somewhere between pain and pleasure. His kiss gentles before pulling back.
"You wreck my control, little wolf."
"Not sorry," I say breathless.
He chuckles and drops another kiss on my lips. "Behave."
Chapter Six
Kael
It is harder than I'd like to admit to pull myself away from Sera. She's everything I've ever wanted and more. I know if I pushed, she would let me mate her right here and now, but there are things she needs to understand before we take that step. Not only will she be my queen, but she's also going to be my babygirl. I know it's unconventional, but I'm a Daddy Dom through and through. She'll be worshiped as the queen and also be a pampered princess as my babygirl.
"Food is going to be delivered shortly. Would you like me to run you a bath or take a shower beforehand?" I ask.
She smiles brightly. "I would love a bath."
I kiss her forehead and head to the bathroom to prepare her bath. I don't have any girly soaps for her, but having her smell like me won't be a hardship. I love the idea of her being covered in my scent. I can't wait until she bears my mark, and everyone will know she's mine.
After testing the water, I call Sera to me. Her jaw drops when she comes into the bathroom.
"Wow, this bathroom is amazing. Fit for a princess."
I smirk. "No, it's fit for a queen."
