Chapter 56
Kessler’s POV
I’m feeling overwhelmed with emotion right now. I finally made love to Lyra, she has haunted me for so long.
I can’t help but bask in her scent-it’s intoxicating. Drawing her closer to me feels surreal as if I never want to let her go.
When I sense the mind link about her heat, I doubt if she would want me near her. However, the pleading in her eyes compels Dolph to take over, not wanting harm to come to our mate.
I couldn’t help but watch her like a lovesick fool as she slept peacefully in my arms. This is how it should be-holding her every night, never letting her go.
I can’t contain the words as they escape my lips: “Lyra completes me.” She stirs in her sleep, slightly opening her eyes.
I offer a gentle smile, hoping she won’t regret what we just shared. Relief washes over me as she returns the soft smile.
Dolph gives a jubilant dance in my head, and I just roll my eyes.
“What’s that?” she asks with a smile, wondering about the eye rolls.
“It’s Dolph,” I reply.
“Oh,” she says as she sits upright. I lean in and kiss her forehead.
She just smiles, and I can’t help but think, gosh, I can’t get enough of her.
Right now, I don’t need to think about anything else. I don’t mind spending the whole day with her.
Because I can’t stand seeing the unmated wolves looking at her as if she’s the next available meal. I hold on to her tightly, determined to keep her safe and close.
She slightly moves away from me, her knees on the bed as she slowly takes off her nightie.
Lyra will be the death of me, I think to myself. She moves closer to me, guiding her breast towards my mouth, urging me to suck.
Without hesitation, I take it into my mouth, savoring the taste, while I hold on to her other breast, playing with the nipple.
She arches her back in pleasure, a loud groan escaping her lips, and I can feel my arousal growing.
As she moves down, she feels my erection beneath her, and without hesitation, she releases the zipper in my trousers.
My cock throbs, ready and eager to respond to her every command.
She moves slowly down, taking me into her mouth, and I can’t help but utter a prayer to the moon goddess.
Starting from the tip of my cock, she sucks and plays with it, her mouth moving round and round, driving me wild with pleasure. I groan out loud, unable to contain the sensations coursing through me.
She moves my cock against the inside of her upper teeth, etching the memory of her actions into my brain.
After teasing me relentlessly, she finally takes all of my cock into her mouth, and I can’t hold back anymore as I begin to pump into her mouth, consumed by desire.
She gags slightly as I push my dick to the back of her throat. I notice her eyes water, and I let out a groan as I feel my release building up inside me.
My cock twitches as I release hot liquid into her mouth, and I watch intently as she swallows it all down.
Tenderly, I caress her lips with my thumb as I gaze into her eyes, feeling a deep connection in that moment of intimacy.
I couldn’t get enough of her as I brought her closer to me, holding her tightly as if I never wanted to let her go. Suddenly, I sense someone approaching-it’s Zach, escorting Cara back to the room.
I quickly send him a mind link, urging him not to come in. This moment with Lyra is ours, and I want to cherish it without any interruptions.
“Wow,” he says through the mind link, “never thought I would see the day.”
“Fuck you, Zach,” I reply sharply, before closing the link, wanting to keep our moment undisturbed.
I carry her to the bathroom, her giggles filling the air. “Kess, please put me down,” she says playfully.NôvelDrama.Org © 2024.
“I like the way my name rolls off your tongue,” I reply with a smile.
She flushes red and playfully repeats my name again and again, “Kess, Kess, Kessler.”
As we reach the bathroom, I reluctantly put her down, but I can see the happiness radiating from her. I don’t want this moment to end; I just want to stay like this forever.
I gaze at the warmth of her smile and the sparkle in her eyes. Every moment with her feels like a treasure, and I find myself wishing for time to stand still.
Leaning in, I press a tender kiss to her lips.
“Thank you,” she whispers, her voice filled with emotion.
I smile softly, feeling grateful for her presence in my life. “No, thank you,” I reply.
After our bath, we both drift off to sleep. However, I don’t sleep for long as a series of thoughts flood my mind, keeping me awake throughout the night.
What will happen to Lyra and me if I end up mating with Annie? The pack’s resources are at stake, and my mother is hell-bent on me rejecting Lyra.
The thought of rejecting Lyra makes Dolph groan in my head. I can’t bear it-I have to make a decision. I can’t afford to be caught unaware.
Blame it on the heat, blame it on the mate bond-I don’t regret what I just shared with Lyra. Damn it, Jack’s spies are watching him, and soon he will be brought down.
But Dolph reminds me, “What if you had fulfilled one of her uncle’s wishes?”
“Her uncle’s wish?” I ask, confusion swirling within me.
“Yes, are you dumb? Jack wants her to mate with you to produce a powerful heir.”
“Fuck,” I mutter to myself, berating my foolishness. I had let my guard down again, just like Annie, without using protection. How could I be so stupid?
Slowly, I move Lyra away from me as she stirs in her sleep. I make my way to the bathroom, my breath ragged as I contemplate the “what ifs.” The possibility seems slim, and I doubt it would ever happen.
My mind is conflicted.
Suddenly, a voice brings me out of my thoughts.
“Are you regretting what we just had?”
I instinctively moved towards her, startled that she had approached the bathroom without me noticing.
Reaching out to hold her hand, she yanks it away as if I’m burning her.
“No, don’t do that, Lyra,” I plead, feeling hurt at her rejection.
“Don’t do what?” she asks, her eyes blazing with intensity.
“I don’t know what you’re thinking, but I could feel your emotions from here,” she says, pressing her hand to her chest.
“You regret what we just had,” she adds, a smile playing on her lips.
She takes my hand as we find our way back to her room.
“I swear, Lyra is bipolar,” I think to myself.
“Kessler, I think I have to say this,” she says, nervously playing with her fingers.
“You may be the ruthless alpha king, but one thing I know is that you are a great man, you love your people and treat them with fairness, and with that, I won’t deprive them of that joy.”
As she speaks, a mix of emotions swirls within me-gratitude for her understanding, yet a feeling of loss.
“What we just had is one of the best times of my life, and I don’t regret it.”
I’m left wondering where this conversation will lead.
“Annie is carrying your heir, your mother is not in support of us, and Alpha Baynes wants to sever ties with you all because of Annie’s pregnancy.”
Fuck, I hope it’s not what I think she’s thinking right now.
“I won’t be able to live with myself in this pack knowing fully well that my existence has caused so much damage,” her voice trembling
For a moment, the world seems to stop spinning as her words sink in.
I rested my head on hers with a burning intense pain in my heart. Conflicted about what to do.
