Six—
It's been a few weeks now since the betrothal and people were starting to realize it. Sometimes, I'd catch the Alphas who were cruel to me, nodding their head at me and greeting me with smiles. It kind of freaked me out, but I knew that Kai had something to do with it.
And Kai...he was just perfect.
He was everything I knew he'd be. I never wanted for more with him. He was loving and sweet but still possessive and when he got jealous, it was frighteningly adorable.
Since things were going so smoothly, our parents decided it was okay to make our mating official earlier than planned. So in three days time, I will officially be Drew Lyall Hemming. I was already moving my stuff into his house.
I could see in his eyes how happy he was. Sometimes I caught him just gazing at me as if he couldn't believe this was real. Honestly, neither can I. Everything was moving so fast.
Mel kept telling me she couldn't believe I was getting Mated before her when she's been engaged longer. Especially to the love of my life.
I could tell he didn't love me yet, but it was still so soon. He was getting there. And he still doesn't know that I have been in love with him since we were kids. I wasn't sure if I was taking that secret to the grave or not.
I was a bit embarrassed by it, but I knew I shouldn't be. It felt like we've been together for years. Even his family treated me as such. I became so close to his mom, I could count on her for anything. His dad was so proud, he beamed every time he saw me.
Everything just felt so complete now. Even now, as I got ready for the lunch with his parents.
"Drew, are you ready?" Kai called out to me, fixing the cuffs of his button down. He looked so handsome with his hair slicked back and a white shirt tucked into khakis.
I hurried down over to him. He smiled, kissing my forehead.
"Ready?"
I nodded happily.
We were going to a popular restaurant in the heart of the community. His parents were going to meet us there.
When we finally reached our destination, we found his parents sitting at a table next to the open windows, overlooking a beautiful garden.
I smiled and waved. As we approached, it hit me.
No.
Not here.
Fire ran through my veins forcing me to stop in my tracks. The heat was so intense I collapsed. A few people around us gasped as Kai caught me before I could hit the ground.
"Drew?"
This wasn't supposed to happen for another two weeks!
"What happened?" I heard his mother asked worriedly. His parents had rushed over to us. I shivered in Kai's arms.
My hormones exploded out of me.
Kai gave a sniff and immediately stiffened.
"Dad!" Kai warned. His control was slipping. I could feel it in the way his fingers trembled around my frame, resisting the urges.
"We have to get him out of here. Drew honey, can you walk?" Mrs. Hemming asked.
I sniveled, shaking my head.
"I'll take him, Benji, can you get Kai please?"
Kai's dad locked Kai in a tight grip. Kai was trying not to resist his father but he was releasing his hormones like crazy and I couldn't control myself.
Kai's mother was quick to pull me into her arms, hurrying—but not too quickly—out of the restaurant while people watched on.
She carried me all the way to Kai's house and took me into an unfamiliar room in the basement. The walls were all made of some type of metal. There was a bed in the middle of the room which she gently laid me on.
Her raven black hair escaped her neat bun as she leaned over me and stroked my hair. I was sweating profusely, staring up at those familiar green eyes.
I knew where he got it from.
"It's early," I managed to whisper.
"Its okay sweetie, sometimes when you become betrothed, the bite messes with your hormones and can cause your cycle to come earlier than expected. You're safe in here though. We had this room built for reasons such as this. He can't get in here without your consent."
I didn't want to keep him out though. I wanted him. I wanted him to knot me, fill me with his seed. My body was screaming for it.
I groaned, curling into a ball and trying to ignore the moisture leaking from inside me.
There was a loud bang on the door. Kai's mother hurried up and approached the door.
"Kai sweetie, is that you?" she called.
"It's both of us," Kai's dad replied. "He needs to see him. He's calmed down a bit."
Kai's mother opened the door. Kai rushed past her and to my side. His large hand stroked my cheek softly. I pressed myself as close as I could to him.
"We'll leave you two alone. Call us when he feels better."
They took their leave and left me alone with my beloved.
"How bad does it hurt?" Kai asked.
I choked on a gasp, feeling myself react to his voice. I reached up to his face, pulling him down on top of me. My legs wrapped around his waist and I pushed my hips up against him. My lips latched on to his.
I needed him.
Goddess I needed him!
I clawed at his clothes, yanking his shirt from his pants so I could snake my hands underneath and feel the warmth of his heat.
It felt so good to touch him.
I wanted more.
I wanted to be full of him.
"Kai," I moaned. "I need you."
"Are you sure, Drew?"
I grabbed his hand and pushed it between my legs so he could cup me. Rocking my hips against him, I howled in pleasure.
That was answer enough for him.
I didn't exactly want our first time to be like this, but there was no way I was stopping now. I couldn't get our clothes off fast enough. I probably destroyed most of them anyway. I hope he didn't like that outfit too much.
Feeling his bare skin against mine had me leaking, in more places than one.
"Kai! Kai!" My nails raked over his back, breaking the skin and drawing little hairlines of blood. Kai hissed but was otherwise preoccupied with sucking on my overly sensitive nipples. He tweaked and tugged at them, making me explode.
I was literally aching for him. My body was ready to be knotted and just when I thought he'd do it, he tensed and backed away from me, covering his mouth as if trying to resist biting me.
"Kai?"
"I can't let the first time be like this. You don't deserve a crazed, instinct driven knotting, you deserve a special moment where I can take my time showing you pleasure," he said softly.
No, no, no! He can't just stop!
"Kai, I need you to knot me right now!"
"Drew, that's your instincts talking. You told me yourself that you wanted the first time to be special. So it will be."
"Kai," I whined, tears blurring my vision.
"Hey, hey, don't cry!" He made a move to hug me, but instead I gripped his still attentive member in my hand. "Fuck!" he moaned.
"I want you now. Can't you see I'm ready?"
Kai gingerly removed my hand from his most intimate member. The member that would fill me with his seed and bind me to him forever.
"Drew, I'm not going to knot you tonight."
"Kai, I'm ready!" I protested.
"Drew—"
"Look at me!" I screamed, spreading my legs and lifting my knees so he could see just how ready I was for him. There was no way he could leave me like this. His instincts were stronger than my own. I knew that he was strong but he's not strong enough to fight nature.
Kai gazed down at me, eyes glassing over, darkening with lust.
He reached for me slowly, but then something clicked in his head, thwarting his movements.
I whined helplessly.
He shifted his aim and cupped my cheek in his hand. It slightly cooled the heat in my skin but I knew the only thing he could do to rid me of it, was breed me.
"I'm not going to leave you like this, that would be cruel and it's my job as your beloved to make sure you are sated and happy. Will I knot you and breed you? No. But I will satisfy your needs until your heat is cooled. There are ways to do that without completing the act. Are you listening to me, Drew?"
I stared at him with hooded eyes, heavy with lust and awe for my Alpha.
He smiled down at me before slowly caressing my body. It started gentle, with whispers of touches over my nipples and down to my navel. Steadily, the pressure increased to groping and biting. He brought me over and over again until I was begging him to stop.
When my hormones reacted again, he was there. Stroking me, licking me, sucking me. Again and again until I fell asleep in his arms...sated.
I never really got to appreciate the sight of a sleeping Kai. Sure, I slept over before, but he was always up before I was. He must really be exhausted now.
I stared at his unconscious face, admiring the innocence in his gaze. He looked so peaceful and calm. His full lips were slightly parted as he breathed in and out evenly. He didn't snore, which I was grateful for, and barely shifted. His arms were firmly around my waist, and legs intertwined with my own. If I ever said there was a happier place than in his arms...I was lying.
My urges were nice and sated for a little while, thanks to Kai's attention all night. I felt bad though, when it hit me in the wee hours of the morning, waking him up. I wanted to show my appreciation.
Slowly easing out of his arms, I rolled off the bed. My body was incredibly sore but it was nothing I couldn't handle. Picking up his shirt from the floor, I inhaled his scent in the fabric. Goddess he smelled so good. It sent tingles all over my body. I slipped the shirt on and buttoned what few buttons were still there. Wow, I really was determined to get this thing off wasn't I?
I glanced back at Kai's sleeping form on the bed, admiring the slight nudity I could glimpse from what wasn't covered by the sheet, before slipping out of the room. I headed upstairs to the kitchen so I could make him some breakfast. He was sure to be hungry when he woke up.
Now what did he like for breakfast?
Definitely steak.
I got some of the frozen steak from the freezer and let it thaw in the oven, while cracking some eggs and whisking them in a bowl. I took a pinch of salt and pepper, adding it to the beaten eggs, along with some diced mushrooms and peppers. I let the butter melt into a heating pan before dumping the egg solution inside, enjoying the satisfying hiss as it met the heat.
Digging in the fridge, I searched for some of the fruit I bought the other day. Pulling out oranges, pineapples, apples, grapes, peaches, and cantaloupe, I washed them and sliced them into a nice fruit salad.
The omelet was just about done when I finished and the steak was completely thawed. Taking out another pan, I popped the steak on to there, quickly seasoning and cooking it. I wanted to make some potato hash but I forgot to pick up some more potatoes. Instead, I settled for some broccoli, whipping that up quickly.
I was still leaning over the stove when I felt two hands settled on my hips. I peeked over my shoulder at Kai and smiled.
"Morning."
"Morning, beautiful. Smells great."
"Thank you."
Kai kissed my temple before backing away and taking a seat at the bar, watching me finish up his meal. His hair was still wet from a shower and the shoulders of his crisp white t-shirt were suffering because of it. I grabbed a mini towel from the rack and placed it on his head, rubbing it through his hair until it was only damp.
"I feel like a kid," he mumbled but still grinned at me.
"Only kids forget to dry their hair after a shower," I mused, pecking his lips before taking the towel into the laundry room and tossing it in the bin. I hurried back to the kitchen and dished his plate and watched as he ate.
"You'll make such a great mother," he pointed out.
Just hearing that made my heart stutter.
"R-really?"
Kai nodded, finishing the last of his meal.
"Thank you," I mumbled before picking up his plate and washing the dishes. Sometime in between his phone rang and he stepped out of the room to answer it.
I looked down at my lack of clothes and opted to take a shower before anything else. When I was done, dressed in a plain t-shirt and jeans, I ventured to go find where Kai disappeared to. He was in his office with his back toward me, still talking on the phone.
"I already told you, I found my beloved. I'm going to mate him in just a few days," Kai hissed angrily into the phone.
I stiffened.
"I know what she said and I'm sorry but I'm not leaving him...yeah, I know, but—"
Leaving him?
Who was he talking to? Were they talking about me?
"I'm not going to the meeting, he's in heat, I can't leave him."
I felt bad for eavesdropping but I couldn't help it. I wanted to know what was going on, he never shares anything with me.
"Listen Stonem, I don't care who you think you are and what you think you can do, but if you come within five miles of him, I'll make you sorrier than you have ever been in your life. You got that?"
Hearing Kai threaten someone sent shivers up my spine. His voice...it was frightening. I've never seen this side of him. I guess I was naïve to believe he didn't have a dark side even though he's one of the highest ranked Alpha's in our Community.
"Alright. We're done here," Kai growled before hanging up the phone, shoving it into his pocket, and running his fingers through his hair angrily.
