Bullied Mate Of The Lycan Kings
Chapter 144

Aiden's

POV

I felt like I was flying... Or floating... or sinking, I couldn't decide.

I had a wonderful dream. In it, Lily and I were together. I wasn't a dark broken prince that had once tortured her and she wasn't the daughter of the man that had been framed for my family's murder. We were just simple people that loved and could be together. No trauma, no dark secrets, no betrayal, nothing.

Wait, I dreamed?

I never dream. Scratch that, I never dream dreams as soft and beautiful as that.

Slowly as I opened my eyes, I blinked at the dark ceiling and I realized that I had infact dreamt and that for the first time in forever, it was a very mundane, very happy one. I didn't usually dream but when I did, they were night terrors. Sweating, screaming and shaking in the middle of the night as I relived the same night over and over again. The night where my parents had been killed and I had survived. When I wasn't dreaming about that, I was dreaming about the many ways Víctor introduced me to pain. I didn't have to think or look far at the reason why I was having such a dream. It had everything to do with the fact that Lily was in my arms, her back pressed against my front, her chest rising and falling smoothly, her entire body relaxed.

I could weep just by looking at her, the fact that she trusted me enough to fall asleep in my arms was humbling. Her warmth against my body filled me with a sense of connection that I couldn't describe, the words unable to qualify and I just settled for staring at her as I gently brushed her hair away from her face.

The softness of her skin under my touch felt absolutely mesmerizing, my fingers dipped and swept over each curve and contour of her beautiful body and the scratch marks on her body were not the only remnants of our passionate night. My bite mark on her neck, our bond preening in my chest, a part of her wolf that had been mine for the taking since the beginning of time, everything evoked so much desire and satisfaction within me so it wasn't surprising that just being beside her turned me on almost instantly like clockwork.

I was a sick f**k, but now more than ever I knew one thing.

Lily was mine. What had happened before we slept wasn't a dream. It still felt unreal to me that she had deemed me worthy enough to experience this moment with her and I didn't know what would happen when she woke up or what she would say, but I was ready to do anything she wanted as long as it meant that I could be by her side. For as long as she wanted me to be. Just the thought that she had people after her, trying to capture her and use her for their goals made my blood boil with rage. I would never let anything happen to her even if it killed me.

Just as I was about to kiss the side of her head, she pushed back into me, her soft a*s rubbing against my already hard as f**k d**k and it felt so good, I had to bite back a sound. We were buck naked, skin to skin and honestly nothing had ever felt better. "You're such a tease" I whispered with a big grin and even though she was asleep, her mouth made a little pout as if she heard me.

Cute. Terrifyingly so.

Gently, I grabbed her thighs and when she moaned, pushing back into me, I moved higher, my hand teasing beneath her breast.

I was about to wander again when she grabbed my hand and placed it over her breasts, her n****e going hard when I pinched it, her hand keeping my hand in place while she rocked back into me with purpose this time, a sign that she was waking up. "Hmmm" she mumbled and it was probably the hottest mumble I had ever heard, her voice sounding thick with sleep.

"You drive me crazy, Lily." I whispered against her neck, kissing her slowly

"Aiden" she whispered "It smells like you" she whispered again, this time opening her eyes and throwing her head back to look at me, eyes hazy but filled with desire.

"Were you going somewhere?"

I shook my head. I would gladly spend the rest of my days in bed with her if that was what she wanted to do.

"Never. I'm not going anywhere." This time, I rubbed against her and she groaned, meeting my body with rocking of her own that made my grip on her b****t tighten as I played with her n****e.

"I need..." The rest of her words were lost in a mumble.

"What do you need, princess?" I mumbled, grabbing her chin and angling her face so I could lick her mouth and I watched, my heart thumping against my rib cage loud enough that I was sure she could hear as I waited for an answer, hoping that it was the same as mine. Instead of speaking, her hand moved to take my hand from where it was holding her b****t and she led my fingers down her body to her center.

Her p***y was soaked.

"f**k, Lily" I groaned, my d**k like f*****g stone and watched as she guided my fingers up and down her clit, her eyes locked on mine and lips apart as she drove the two of us crazy with her movements. "Aiden." She gasped and I felt like I was lost in those eyes of hers.

I was utterly mesmerized by everything about her from the sweat glistening on her forehead, to the way her hair fell around the pillow as she stared up at me.

"f**k, Lily, f**k. Please" I begged when she increased the rubbing of her c**t, her hand in total control of my fingers.

What I was begging for, I didn't know.

But I could not deny her.

I couldn't. Taking over the rhythm, I pushed in and inserted two fingers into her drenched core.

"Oh, yes, Aiden, yes." She twisted and moaned, her p***y gripping my fingers as she rode them with reckless abandon.

"You're so f*****g beautiful, my little lamb. f*****g beautiful" I groaned, my mouth against her throat as I f****d her with my fingers, listening to her moans, my d**k growing impossibly harder.

I needed to keep the beast in control now or I'd rip her apart with the force of my desire. I could feel my eyes glowing, the bond my wolf shared with Lily's wolf glowing in my chest and immediately, I tried to withdraw my fingers but she grabbed my hand, using the other to grab my jaw, her eyes glazed over in desire.

"I need you, Aiden."

If I hadn't already given her my heart, I would have given it to her with the way she said my name. The fact that she needed me, someone like me who believed that I would never be loved for the rest of my life made my heart tighten with unfamiliar warmth that was quickly becoming more familiar in her presence.

"I want you." She added, her eyes glassy as she reached up to kiss me and everything that had held my l**t at bay splintered into pieces as I flipped her onto her stomach.

"On your knees and grab the headboard, Lily."

The way she did so almost immediately without protest made me weak in the knees.

Reaching to grab her face, I kissed her long and deep right as I used my other hand to reach into her dripping wetness to prepare her for me.

"I'm yours now and always."

I didn't even hear if she responded, only her moan as I drove back home for the second time tonight, sliding into her slick wet entrance all the way to the hilt.

"f**k" We said at the same time.

And then there were no more words.

Just growls and moans as I slammed into her again and again until she was squeezing me tight and milking my c**k of the evidence of my o****m, her scream as she fell into ecstasy ricocheting the walls of her room.

This time, when she slept, there was a small smile on her lips, well and totally exhausted and wrapped in my arms and even though she had fallen asleep, I whispered into her ears, knowing that I meant every word. "I love you, my little lamb."

Lily's pov:

Just like the first time between us, Aiden stepped away, into the bathroom to get a damp cloth to clean me up, "I read about it in a book," he had told me as he wiped me clean of his c*m dripping down my thighs. But also, just like before, my wolf cried in my chest, the thought that he's abandoning us unbearable to us both.

He's not abandoning us. Dahlia is just being overdramatic. But it doesn't stop it from hurting anyway.

Is this what it's going to be like with a wolf from now on? All rational thoughts fly out the window when it comes to my mate... my mates?

I probably should tell Aiden about the consequences of finally being mated to me. The fact that his already lethal powers could get a power jump, and the fact that my wolf was now a sure, strong force in my consciousness, free and broken from her mental jail.

I was a little unnerved, almost dreading the thought of a scary goddess wolf... a vengeful goddess wolf now free to wreck havoc and basically do what she wants, but I'm not going to think about that now. Right now, I'm going to dwell in the afterglow of finally being bonded to my fated mate. Aiden... who would have thought?

I didn't have too much time to wallow in my thoughts because Aiden came back out with a warm cloth. I watched him, boneless and unable to move as he wiped between my legs clean with the cloth, his forehead puckered in concentration as if the act of cleaning me up was even more intimate than the s*x we just had.

He looked so adorable and I couldn't resist cooing at him.

"What?" He raised his head to look at me, the look of concentration falling off his face.

"You. You're adorable."

"Adorable is the last thing I want to be to you." He deadpanned.

"Why do you do it?, before going back to wiping me and leaving to return the cloth to the bathroom.

I yawned, stretching out, feeling languid as he climbed back into bed with me, Dahlia stopping her anxious tantrum when he pulled me into his arms and hugged me close, sighing contently.

"Did you do this for all your other girls?"

I gasped.

My. Mouth.

I didn't realize how wrong and completely out of place my question was until I had asked it.

Aiden froze, caught completely off guard.

I had just been curious and didn't mean to make things awkward. I didn't care about the other girls he had before me and I didn't want him to beat himself over the thought that I was uncomfortable with it.

"I don't- I didn't mean-"

"No." He said, cutting me off.

"Huh?"

"You asked if I did this with other girls, I didn't."

"Oh."

Way to go and make things awkward, Lily.

"s*x with you... s*x with you feels like coming home. Before you, it was a tool to me, an escape, just like books and drugs used to be. A means to an end to get a release and move on with my life. The girls usually left the second I was done with them." My throat tightened. The fact that his reality was something he constantly chased to escape. Come to think of it, every time I saw Aiden... the old Aiden, he was usually inebriated in some way. Snorting down lines of coke, drinking straight from a liquor bottle, a random girl giving him a blowjob, or being involved in an orgy of sorts.

Then, I had thought he was just a spoiled rich boy with too much free time on his hands to chase his vices... now I know the only thing he was trying to chase was an escape from his awful reality.

Victor Vanderbilt needed to die, and the preening in my chest indicated that Dahlia approved of that.

"Why do you still live with him after what he does to you? Why don't you challenge him and defeat him in a duel. You're old enough to take him on, strong too."

Aiden remained silent for a while, his thumb tracing circles on the skin of my hip.

"I don't have a lot of fun memories of my childhood, but the little I had centered around spending time with Victor. He took me fishing, he taught me how to ride a bike, he was present in school events my parents deemed useless to attend, he was the only one that seemed proud of me when I showed him homework I aced or my position in class... I see it now, he was grooming me, making me love him, stay loyal to him. It worked."

I held my breath. He's doing it! He's talking about his uncle without freaking out or lashing out. I don't think he even understands how huge this is.

"After the massacre, there was a small part of me that was glad over the fact I had lost my parents and not him. Better them than him, I used to think even while I was mourning their loss."

Oh, Aiden...

"I noticed his shift the moment the burial was done and dusted. The way he treated me, looked at me, spoke to me... he wasn't mean to me, not at first. Another man would have killed me, to make sure that he is never overthrown, but Victor let me live, he spared my life. I thought it meant something... I was filled with so much gratitude that he had spared my life."

"But that was the least he could do for his family."

"It was the best my family had ever done for me."

My heart thudded.

He was so starved of affection that he had been fed crumbs as a child and considered it a feast thrown in his honour.

"I always imagined he'd take the role of my father once and for all, there was finally nothing stopping him. I was going to stay loyal to him my whole life. I didn't care about being alpha, I just wanted to be happy"

I hugged him tight, letting my warmth and love for him seep between us. Now that we were bonded, I noticed that it was easier sharing my energy with him. His arms wrapped around me, communicating his appreciation for me.

"You have me now. And Ren, and Zac... we're your family in ways that really matter. We won't do anything to hurt you. We love you. All you have to do is let us love you"
