A Kiss With The Alpha King

CHAPTER 13 DAY DREAMING

RHYS

Three days after our return from Clawride Pack, Matilda could no longer hold back her curiosity. She hovered around me, tugging at a bed that she had already dressed. I sat at my desk, watching her break slowly.

“Are you going to tell me what happened in Clawride Pack or not, Alpha? Mars gave me a hint but it only made it worse.”

**n Mars, I cursed under my breath. Couldn’t I have my own secrets anymore?

I went through the pack’s accounts, nothing interesting me in the least. I was trying to occupy myself but the numbers were beginning to look like scrambled codes. Giving up on the distraction strategy, I left my desk and went to the window. The curtains were parted fully but all the glasses were opaque. I was in no danger of being seen.

“I had my first erection in Clawride Pack,” I broke the news like I was discussing the weather. I heard

Tilly’s feet walking towards me and I held up a hand. I did not want her comfort or her sympathy. The one thing I wanted I could not have and I was not used to not getting my way.

She stopped a few feet from me and I did not need to see her face to know she was still very curious to

hear the details. Why would it matter? I had been**d enough to let my remedy slip through my fingers.

“Who is she? Where is she?”

“That’s the thing!” I turned around swiftly, my hair falling onto my face. “I don’t know. Who she is, where she had come from, where she is now, I don’t know! It is so frustrating that I had not thought to know her name. It had happened so fast. I lost my head in the unfamiliar sensation, the painful pleasure

of feeling…of feeling…”

Complete, of feeling complete. I finished my sentence in my head but of course, Tilly understood without me saying everything. She was the only mother I knew, my biological mother wise enough to keep her distance and still foolish to demand her rights every now and then.

“What was she like?” Tilly was now standing close to me, unable to help herself. I didn’t stop her, leaning heavily on the window frame. I closed my eyes and without much effort, the image of Red Streaks filled my memory though some parts were unclear.

“She had red streaks in her hair, was young and innocent, petite, fitting perfectly against my body. She was scared of me at first but when we kissed, it was like she melted into me and we became one body. She touched me and..and it just happened. Goddess, I want to feel like that again.”

*I have not Tout Hope yet. I have so much faith in you, Rhys I have watched you grow from an angry little boy to a promising leader and I will never give up on you. If she is the one, you will find her but if she is not, the one you need will come and the would never leave. “

She lacuned her grip on me, a shaky smile on her lips. “I am so proud of the man you have become. I know I am not your real mother but you are my child in all the ways that matter. Be at peace with yourself.”

Tilly patted my forearm kindly and left me on my own. My big room suddenly seemed smaller and for the first time since 1 caught my mother cheating on my father, I wanted to curl myself under my bed and be alone.

A knock fell on my door and I wanted to scream. Why couldn’t I have a day to myself?

You are the Alpha King, Czar reminded me unnecessarily. You have no privacy.

“Who is it?” I snapped, not caring to hide my irritation.

“It’s Mars,” was the calm answer I got. Who else could it have been anyways? Only Tilly and Mars had access to my chambers and since Tilly had just left, it had to be Mars. Nevertheless, I was not in the mood for more polite conversation.

“It’s urgent, Alpha,” Mars pressed on when I said nothing. I returned to my desk and asked him to come in. He pushed the door open at once and let himself in. He bowed low in reverence and brought forward his complaint.

“The matter is concerning your mistresses, particularly Mistress Annette and Mistress Lilith. They had a fight in our absence and some of the maids have resigned because of them.”

Was that the matter he deemed urgent? I had little or no business with my mistresses sexually or emotionally. Mars catered for them materially out of my abundance and satisfied them on my behalf. Some were daughters of influential men yet were content to live off my charity.

“So, hire more maids! What does all these have to do with me?”

Mars was acting strange for some reason and he was looking everywhere but at me. Was something else going on? Mars had never given me any reason to doubt his loyalty in the past but it was unusual of him to look so bothered.

“If they are not satisfied with life in the Paradise Palace, send them to the cottage and keep them there until they learn to appreciate what I provide. I have a lot to worry about without ungrateful women causing a nuisance within my walls.”

I was done speaking but he still stood quietly, looking beyond me.

“Was there something else, Mars?”

He shook his head in the negative, his hands behind him. Strange.

“You may leave. I was about taking a nap before you knocked.”

“Have a nice rest, Alpha.” Mars exited the room as silently as he had come in, even more strange. Was he becoming tired of my unpleasant nature? We had been friends before we had become Alpha and Beta. He should have gotten used to my dark moods by now.

I slumped my heavy shoulders and eyed my bed. Could I actually sleep for a little while? Trying to sleep at night was becoming foolishness because I would remain awake, haunted by the pull of her hands in my hair and painfully semi erect all night. Perhaps, it would be different in daytime. I slipped under the bed covers and laid on my side, falling into a daydream.

She was lying beside me, too close for comfort. I could not smell her but I could feel her presence, could not open my eyes but could see her with my eyes closed. Her red streaks spilled onto my pillow and her breath was my oxygen. My groin ached deliciously but not enough to get hard. She placed her fingers over my heart and played with the dark hairs s**d unevenly on my chest.

“I want you closer,” she beckoned, crooking a finger at me, her voice husky and smoky. The sweet pain below my belt increased as I followed her directive. When I was closer, she bit down on my earlobe, forcing a groan out of me.

“Find me,” she mocked me, her last words before I jumped out of the agonizing daydream. My bed was soaked with the sweat dripping off my back and I searched the room for an unseen intruder. My nap was ruined and I had not even closed my eyes for up to ten minutes. Goddess, how long could I go on before I lost my mind?
