Chapter 148


    All I can do is stare,pletely dumbstruck as to what it is I am actually looking at. I suppose I’m just in


    shock because this is so unexpected, not only because shifters don’t usually get married like the


    humans do, but because Den has never mentioned that he wanted to. As mates, we automatically


    take the male’sst name anyway, and the union ceremony is like a wedding in the shiftermunity. I


    don’t know too many wolves that are actually married, but I do know that my parents were.


    Once Ie back to the present, I take the box from his hand and open it. My hand goes straight to


    cover my mouth as a gasp bursts free. Part of the engagement ring is my mother’s wedding band; he’s


    incorporated it into a beautiful diamond ring for me.


    Instead of answering him, I grab his cheeks and kiss him. passionately, not caring that we have an


    audience. I straddle hist knee and sit down on it as I continue to deepen the kiss. I can faintly hear


    giggles and chuckles, and then a throat clearing very loudly. Den pulls away first, grinning at me.


    “Quinn Night, I have loved you for a long time, and I thought that I missed my chance to have you as


    my own. I had decided to have you as my chosen before everything happened, and even though it’ s


    taken a few years, and a couple of kidster, I’m still madly and deeply in love with you. Will you do me


    the honor of bing my everything, and marry me?”


    My tears, started streaming two seconds into his little speech and all I can do is nod my head, “Words


    little mate, I need to hear the words.”


    Clearing my throat, I swipe at my wet face, “Y-Yes,” I stutter

    through my emotions, “I will marry you, my Alpha.”


    This time, it’s his turn to crash his lips against mine, as the others cheer us on, but it doesn’tst long


    because Asher decides right then that he’s hungry and starts fussing. I pull away first this time and


    gaze deeply into his chocte brown eyes. All those years ago, when a handsome Alpha came and


    saved me, I never would have guessed that I would be sitting here now, in his arms and saying yes to


    marrying him.


    He brushes away a few strands of hair that have blown across my face, and then pecks my nose, “Your


    son isn’t going to be patient too much longer,” he leans in closer, “You better go feed him now, because


    I’m going to be hogging those beautiful breasts for the next few hours.”


    My core tightens with the promise of his undivided attention, and I move away before I attack him right


    here, the others be d*mned. cing the ring on my ring finger of my left hand, I rise from his knee, “I’ll


    be back, my King, so save that thought.”


    I walk over and take Ash from Amelia who stole him as soon as we came out here, “Thank you for


    holding him for me, Amelia.”


    She scoffs at me, “Enough with my name, I think it’s about time. that you start calling me mom, don’t


    you? I will never rece your own, but I would like to be there for you like she would if she were still


    here with us.”


    I give her a warm smile, and a hug to match, “I’d be honored, Mom.” After thanking her and everyone


    else for celebrating with me, I head inside to feed a very demanding young Alpha.


    I’m just finishing up Ash’s feeding when one of my guards at the


    Dividing to pages now


    cells links me, ‘Luna, the Alpha from Gray Skies is requesting to speak to you.’


    ‘Has he said what it’s about?’ I ask a little annoyed. I know I have to figure out what to do with him and


    the rest of his pack, as well as the few from the Night S*iper pack, whose Alpha I took out. I can’t keep


    putting it off and I feel as though I should talk with Aspen and Kimber to see what their thoughts are on


    it, since they lost their pack and family due to Alpha Benjamin and his pack.


    ‘He hasn’t Luna, only that he wants to talk to you.’ The guard states.


    Oh, now he wants to talk to me when he refused thest time? ‘Thank you for informing me of this. You


    can tell him that I wille see him as soon as I have time.”


    ‘Yes, Luna.’


    I sigh and nce down at my sleeping son. He looks so much like Gavin that I have to smile. I may not


    get to have my fist mate in my life but at least I can still look upon him even if Asher does have my


    auburn hair, it doesn’t take away from me seeing so much of his father in him.


    Carrying my pup to the nursery, I meet Demi in the hall and hand Asher to her. Ayden is grinding his


    little hand into his eye, indicating that he’s tired as well, “Looks like it’s naps all around.” I chuckle.


    “Oh, yes, Alpha will be bringing Holden up momentarily because he’ s already asleep in grandma’s


    arms.” The nanny informs me, smiling..


    I ce my hand on her shoulder, “You look wore out, you should try and get a nap in as well.”


    “Yeah, I may just do that.” She then turns and heads towards the


    nursery.


    Den is justing up the stairs with Holden as I’m going down, “And where do you think you’re


    going?” He raises a brow at me.


    “Alpha Benjamin is requesting to speak to me, so I thought I had better go see what he wants before I


    get distracted.” I smirk while my eyes rake my handsome mate.


    “I think you are needed in our room way more than you’re needed in the cells; he will still be there


    later.”


    “I know, baby, but I will be really quick.” I say and go to step down but arge hand, that sends sparks


    through me, wraps around my upper arm.


    “I’m serious, Quinn. I have been more than patient. Most new. mates don’t leave their room for at least


    two days, Duke and I need this.”


    I hadn’t realized how much this was affecting him or Duke, but now that I do, a shiver runs through me,


    and I nod. Changing my direction, I head to our bedroom to wait for his return.


    When Denes into the room, he finds me already stripped and waiting for him on the bed. I’m up


    on my knees, while they are spread wide, giving him the perfect view. He leans his back against the


    door momentarily, biting his lower lip as he takes in the sight before him. I notice the bulge in his pants


    grow the longer he stands there staring at me.


    “Ask and you shall receive, my King…”


    “Mm,” he pushes away from the door and prowls towards me,


    Chviding ints pages now.


    stripping his shirt off in the process, “Look at you, being a good and obedient mate. You better be


    careful because I can get used to this.”


    “Only in the bedroom, Alpha.” I don’t mind submitting to him. sexually, but I’m sure he knows that it’s a


    far fetch to expect it outside of it.


    He unbuttons his jeans as hees to stand at the edge of the bed, but then reaches out and his


    fingers circle my neck. There isn’ t enough pressure to hurt me; the only thing it does do is makes my


    core drip. When he pulls me to him by my neck, I have no choice but to let him. His lips are soft but


    demanding as they dominate my own in a searing kiss.


    Suddenly, I am falling back onto the mattress as he pushes met away. His grip wraps around both


    ankles and he yanks me to him. before spreading me wide and feasting his eyes on his next meal.


    Licking his lips like a starved wolf, he goes to his knees and runs. his tongue leisurely up my folds while


    keeping his gaze on me the whole time.


    “Eyes on me, little mate. I want you to watch as I make youe with just my tongue and then devour


    your essence like it is myst meal.” Duke swirls in his eyes as hees forward, and so I allow T


    toe forward as well, so she can enjoy this time with our


    mates.


    Both hands fist the bedding as his breath hits my sensitive cl*t each time he speaks, and my walls


    clench from his words. I find myself aroused by everything he says to me and when he tells me that


    there will be no mercy from the things that he’s going to do to me, I have a mini o*gasm.


    He chuckles andps up the juices that drip out, “It looks like my Queen is in need of something,” he


    states, “Tell me what it is that


    you want.”


    “I want you,’ I pant out, “I want all of you…”


    He grins, “All in good time…” His head then descends down and I’ m lost to the pleasure that his mouth


    is delivering.


    I try to buck my hips, but he wraps his arms around my thighs and holds me down as he tortures me


    with his tongue. His eyes are on me to make sure that I’m following his instruction by watching him as


    he brings me to my first climax. I don’t disappoint him, regardless of how hard it is not to close my eyes


    and savor the feeling. It’s hot as hell, though, to watch your mate eat you out until youe all over


    their face.


    By the time he’s had his fill and pulls away, his lower face is shiny with my arousal smeared all over it.


    He stands and wipes it away with his hand before unzipping his jeans and pulling them off. His *ock is


    hard and angry, and wanting inside of me immediately. Flipping me around as though I’m nothing but a


    ragdoll, he pushes my head down into the mattress and lifts my hips as high as they will go.


    “A8s up, head down, until I tell you otherwise.” It’s Duke’s voice. thatmands this of me, and a


    shiver runs through my entire body. If Den’s wolf is in control for now, I just may be in trouble. My


    own wolf whimpers at this fact as well, but it doesn’t matter because our core still throbs in anticipation


    of what’s toe.


    I hope you have enjoyed this longer chapter. We are only a couple away from the end of book 1.
