Chapter 199: Queen
Zara
The look in his eyes sparked a new wave of heat, and I stood up and flipped him over. I settled on his hips, still covered by his ripped sweatpants. I ripped the rest of them off him, feeling his dark eyes follow my every movement.
His cock sprang out, hard and ready for me. I positioned myself above him, lowering myself with a blissful moan.
Throwing my head back, I pressed myself against his cock, reveling in the pleasure and pain coursing through me. I didn’t give myself time to adjust to his length and began to ride him feverishly.
"Fuck, Zara," Alpha groaned, his fingers digging roughly into my hips. Each rough touch sent a wave of icy bliss soothing my heated skin. "You feel so fucking good around my cock." Alpha lasted only fifteen seconds before he wrapped his arms around my hips and thrust deeper into me.
The sounds escaping my lips were like nothing I’d ever known I was capable of. I felt myself being pulled away from my body, only to be immediately drawn back into the intense pleasure. His hips slapped against mine as he thrust relentlessly. With each long stroke, the pain and pleasure intensified.
"That’s it, baby," Alpha moaned, his dark eyes watching him thrust his cock into me. "Take it, take every inch."
Alpha flipped us both over, lifting my legs onto his shoulders, and continued moving inside me. Our gazes never left each other, never ceasing to wander in blind lust.
His fingers caressed my swollen clit, his mouth devouring every inch of my heated skin. Only when I screamed his name, tears stinging my eyes, did Alpha finally come inside me.
"It wasn’t fair, Zara," Alpha groaned, lying next to me. Our hearts beat in unison, and my limbs relaxed blissfully. The heat that once pulsed within me had long since vanished, washed away by the countless orgasms Alpha had given me.
"You wanted this as much as I did," I teased, running circles over his bare chest, savoring every touch, every moment with my mate. The ache between my legs intensified with each movement, but it generated its own pleasure.
"How could I not?" Alpha snorted, running a hand through his dark, tousled hair. "Standing like this, touching yourself in front of me. Fuck, Zara."
I grinned as Alpha began to get aroused again. Just as I reached out, determined to feel him inside me again, his large hand grabbed my wrist. Alpha’s expression was pained, and I moaned, already knowing what was coming.
"Trust me, baby. I want to take you again more than anything, but we need to do something," Alpha whispered, gently kissing each knuckle. "But when we’re done, I’ll fuck you until you scream."
"Promise?" I sighed, letting my nails scratch his bare chest.
"Fuck, I promise," he groaned, running the rough pad of his finger over my nipple. My back arched under his touch, pressing my breasts against his hand. "My mate, so responsive."
"I’m glad you found me." I swallowed, guilt burning in my eyes. "I wasn’t sure I could control myself if someone else walked through that door."
"Don’t." Alpha soothed me with a gentle kiss that soothed every aching muscle in my body, making the sensitive spot between my legs throb. "It’s not your fault, it never was. Next time you go into heat, I’ll be there. We won, Zara. You’ll be lucky if I ever let you leave me again."
"So it’s true." I exhaled. "He’s really dead?"
"Yes." Alpha nodded, and I watched his Adam’s apple move as he swallowed. There was a note of concern in his voice that was unusual for Alpha. He was always so confident, so precise in his decisions.
"He called the shadows, Zara. At the very end, that is." I was afraid I was too late, that he had managed to make a deal with them. The Shadows... they took his blood. I think he really did make a deal, but not to kill you."
The shadows’ words from earlier came back to me, and I understood... I ran through every possible connection in my head, and each one led to the demons empire.
"You’re too late," I muttered. "He made a deal with them, but not for my life."
"What?" Alpha winced, sitting up on the bed. His hands gripped mine tightly. "What did he ask for?"
"He made me queen," I whispered, meeting Alpha’s wide eyes. "I can’t give up my crown. Not to my half-sister, not to anyone else."
"Your half-sister?" Alpha muttered. "Then how... how could another ruler arise?"
"If... if we ever have a child. He will be the next ruler." I winced. I couldn’t stop the guilt from rolling over me. This burden wasn’t just mine. It was Alpha’s, too. Any future child of ours would be caught up in this mess, in this struggle between werewolves and demons.
"Then... then we’ll make sure everything is better than it was," Alpha reasoned. The determination and gentleness in his eyes calmed my nerves.
I held back the tears that welled up in my eyes and appreciated every feature of my incredible chosen one. "We’ll fix everything. So that someday, when our child takes power, there will be no conflict between our peoples."
Our peoples. I repeated those two words to myself a million times. I wasn’t alone. I had Alpha, and I knew he would never leave me. I was torn between two worlds, three, if you count my supposed witch heritage, but Alpha would be there to help me through it all.
I knew nothing about being a ruler, but I had amazing people around me.
"Now you have a lot of explaining to do." Alpha chuckled. "I want to hear everything that happened while you were gone, and I mean absolutely everything. Don’t think I don’t know about Marcus’s sudden change of heart, and I want to hear everything about your half-sister."
"I’ll explain everything, I promise," I replied, unable to suppress the small smile that played across my lips. "After we return my family and the people of this pack to where they belong."
"I’ll catch you for this, beautiful," Alpha whispered, taking my face in his hands. "It won’t be easy, but everything will change when we have children. They won’t have to face the problems we face now. We will unite our people and end this war once and for all."
"Sounds like a plan, Alpha," I giggled, hugging him and enveloping myself in the soothing scent of my chosen one.
