Alpha Kai is in a very bad mood.
That was the sentence whispered through out the pack house. Everyone did their best to stay out of his way, resorting to avoiding him.
Kai heard the whispers when they thought he wouldn’t. It only made him angrier.
He hadn’t been able to get a wink of sleep ever since he woke up beside Karen. That night had been permanently seared into his memory, and as the days went by he craved that rest more and more.
He tried to get it from the healer. He had her create more and more sleeping potions for him. None of them worked.
Kai tried to focus more on the blood moon preparations. He threw himself into the planning to try and take his mind off the slave girl who was someplace in the pack house laboring to death.
At night when the preparations were over and every one was asleep, he would stare out of the window and watch the sun set and rise.
Three more days passed.
One time he lashed out at Nicolas and nearly lost his temper if Verena hadn’t been there to calm down. Kai remembered a time when being with Verena gave him peace. Times when he would be with her and for a moment, he wouldn’t think of anything. It wasn’t like his insomnia was cured with her, but she made the long nights bearable.
Now, he couldn’t even bear to be around her. In his head he kept comparing her to Karen. How their skin tones were different. How to their voices were different. How their smiles were different.
How much more beautiful Karen was compared to Verena.
“My alpha please, let me relieve your pain,” Verena had said to him, on her knees and already undoing his belt.
Karen had also offered him her body for the relieving of his pain. She had offered her life if would ease his troubled heart.
Kai couldn’t feel even the faintest spark of lust for Verena. Not anymore.
He has pushed her away and told her to leave. He had lost count of how many times he would summon her, hoping by some sort of miracle he would be able to feel something with her. Only to send her out because what he was looking for couldn’t be found in her.
Nicolas threw in suggestions, hinting at him summoning Karen. Kai successfully ignored all of them. He didn’t need her. He would fix his problems on his own. He refused to find solace in the daughter of his mortal enemy. He refused to believe that being with her brought him peace and calmness unlike he had ever felt before.
Soon the blood moon was in three days.
Kai was getting worse. He felt like a wounded animal, pacing restlessly and attacking anything in his way. He lost his temper on the maid that cleaned his suite when she didn’t press a crease out of his shirt. He traumatized the poor girl so badly that she ran away in tears and begged Inez to never send her to him again.
Nicolas yelled at him to stop transferring aggression and take it out on the cause of it. Kai refused, adamant in his decision to never see Karen again.
“Let her go then.” Nicolas had said. “Let her accept your rejection and move on with her life.”
“Never.” Kai had replied. “She’s not going anywhere. Not while I’m alive.”
Soon it was day to the blood moon.
Watching the sun set through his window, knowing that it was a week without so much as the measly hour of sleep he normally got made something snap inside of him.
‘Inez,’ He called the woman through the mind link.
‘I’m on my way, my alpha,’ She replied. ‘I’ll be there in a few minutes. I apologize for….’
‘Tell Karen I summon her.’
***
Karen heard the order form Inez and it took her a while to digest it.
“He… he wants me?” She asked.
Inez nodded. “You don’t look so happy. Isn’t this what you wanted? Always asking me has he summoned me? All the time.”
Karen bit her lip. “I…. I don’t know anymore…”
Inez sighed. “Get ready. Don’t keep him waiting.”
“Is he calling me to clean?”
“No. I don’t know.”
Karen sighed softly. “Okay,”
She got up from bed and started getting ready. She took a shower, and wore her slave outfit which had slowly gotten longer and longer. She walked out of the servants quarters, noticing eyes on her as she walked. They whisper among themselves. She acted like she didn’t hear them.
Her heart hammered in her chest.
What did he want from her? After all this time. After how he treated her, now he wanted her to come back. It crossed her mind that she could be overthinking it.
Then she remembered seeing him and Verena together. Her heart broke a bit.
She got to his suite, staring at the door. Inhaling deeply, she raised her hand and knocked.
“Enter.” She heard his voice say. Shivers coursed down her spine.
She had missed that voice.
She opened the door and walked in. He wasn’t in the living room. She made her way to the study, her heels clicking on the tiles the only sound she heard.
She found him the bedroom, seated on the single sofa. His eyes met hers the moment she walked in. She felt a dozen emotions settle in her chest.
Anger, pain, frustration, longing, more anger.
He looked troubled. His eyes were bloodshot and there were dark circles under them. His skin had lost it’s warm glow, looking pale.
Even still he was very handsome.
Karen felt her heart skip a beat. She bowed and said. “Good evening, my master.”
He didn’t reply. She guessed she was only here for one thing.
She unzipped her gown, the sound of it grating on her nerves. She took it off and tossed it to the side. Next was her shoes, and underwear. Till she stood naked before him. She looked at him, realizing a second too late that she was glaring at him. She quickly fixed her face.
His eyes raked across her body, trailing virtual fire where ever she felt his gaze. She saw unbridled lust swirling in those tired eyes. It made goosebumps erupt over her skin.
With a soft sigh, she made her way over to the table.
“Get on the bed.” He said, his deep voice sending tremors to her cunt.
His bed.
She turned and glanced at him. He pointed to the bed. She made her way over to it and got on all fours, her eyes staring out of the window.
“Face up.” She heard his voice say directly behind her.
She turned, laying down on the bed. He came over her, his hair draping down his shoulders and tickling her chest. She stared at him, watching the emotions in his eyes shift. She blinked, smiling a bit at him.
“Don’t do that.” He murmured.
“I don’t understand,”
“Don’t look at me with those eyes.”
Karen blinked in confusion. “My master, what eyes?”
He didn’t reply. He leaned down and planted a kiss on her collar bone. She shivered, her nipples hardening as a result. His lips, cool and soft moved to her breast. She moaned softly feeling the heat of his mouth envelop a nipple.
“Oh my…” She gasped as his tongue swirled around the rosy bud. His hand twisted her other nipple, his movements matching his tongue. He alternated between both nipples sucking on them and nibbling softly.
Karen felt herself start to grow wet moans and gasps leaving her lips. He sucked harshly, leaving a dark colored mark. Karen whined, feeling a bit annoyed that the mark wouldn’t stay on her body long enough.
She rubbed her thighs together, desperate for some sort of friction.
“My alpha…” She whined, her back lifting off the bed as his fingers grazed her sopping clit. She clamped a hand over her mouth as she realized her mistake.
He raised his head from her breasts and looked at her. “For tonight, I’m your alpha.” He said, his voice heavy with lust. He pushed a finger inside her his eyes watching her reaction. “Take your hand off you mouth. I want to hear your voice ”
She lowered her hand from her mouth, gasping softly as he pumped his finger in and out of her, hitting that sensitive spot inside her with ease. Her moans filled the air, her eyes fluttering shut.
Kai watched her, drinking in her reactions like a man starved. His eyes trailed from her breasts that had his marks to her wet slit, watching his finger sliding in and out of her. Fuck, he had missed this. He missed the way her body reacted to his touch. He felt his dick straining in his pants, impossibly hard at this point.
He added a second finger inside her, her walls clamping down on him hard. He groaned through clenched teeth eager to feel her tighten around him dick.
Her moans got louder, her walls began to flutter around him. He knew she was close. Her eye opened and she stared at him, a soft look in her eyes. He knew that look too well. And it made his heart race.
She reached out to touch him. He grabbed her hands and pinned them over her head. Her soft whine went straight to his dick.
“Close…” She whispered, grinding herself onto his palm. “Please …. my alpha…”
He didn’t know what she was begging for. She bit her lip hard. He was over come with the sudden urge to kiss her. Taste her lips and get drunk off her.
“Fuck.” He hissed. He leaned down and took her nipple into his mouth, biting down.
She cried out and he felt her grow even tighter around his fingers. He pulled out of her, rubbing circles into her clit till she rode out the last waves of her orgasm.
Her eyes met his, hazy and beautiful. Her cheeks were flushed, her lips red.
He wanted to kiss her.
“Are you tired?” He asked, watching as her eyes fluttered. “I haven’t even started with you yet.”
