Chapter 32

I woke up on an empty bed. It was a late night, and I wondered where Nikolas had gone.

I gathered the sheets to cover my body and went to the window to see if he was in the garden with hisofficers.

The party was on as usual, but Nikolas, Qusack, and Abraham weren’t there.

I wondered where he might have gone to.

I was mad about the joke he cracked and relieved at the same time that it was a joke. He had indeedbrought out my fear. Even though my father’s warning rang through, I conditioned my mind to trustNikolas.

He did not seem like the type people could force into doing anything, and if he set his heart to dosomething, he would do it.

I had to trust that he wouldn’t hurt me eventually, But I also had the duty of making life easy.

If he became King, my kind would be free, but was I willing to sacrifice my happiness for it? My hearthad never beat this way for anyone, and my wolf and I have never longed for anyone as I longed forNikolas.

Was I willing to remain a mistress while he took a queen to abolish the Unity law comfortably?

I left the window and went to the bathroom, hoping the goddess would smile at us, and it wouldn’t cometo that. Because I did not want to share, nor was I willing to let go.

If he were equally invested in this as I was, then it would be okay for me to be stubborn about it.

I brushed my teeth, showered and put on an oversized T-shirt.

I considered linking him but decided against it last minute, so I linked Ania instead because I washungry.

“Are you up? I need food,” I said, and it took a bit before she responded.

“I will bring something for you and Alpha. He is yet to eat, too,” She said. Wondering where he was, Ichose to link him.

“Where are you?” I finally linked him, unable to continue wondering about his whereabouts.

“On my way to you,” he replied, and even though he sounded all right, I could feel something waswrong with him.

Nikolas entered the room ten minutes later, and I noticed he had freshened up. “I thought you were atthe party,” I said, and he looked at me and smiled, then came to join me in bed.

He pulled me close and k*issed my forehead. His l*ips lingered while he breathed, and I knew he did itmore to calm down.

He pulled away and got off the bed, then went to his dresser and returned with something in his hand.

“A shop owner in Peakland gave me this to give to that special someone,” He said and took my hand.

He caressed my hand gently and k*issed it, then wore me a beautiful bracelet made of Amethyst andemerald. It was held together with bronze. I loved it.

It was a beautiful and rare piece. I would be surprised if it were the only one of its kind. Thecraftsmanship was exquisite. The jeweller that made it was gifted.

“It is beautiful, Nikolas,” I said, and he held my hand.

“It might not be gold, but it was valuable to the owner. I hope you cherish it too.” He said, and I pulledhim close and k*issed his l*ips softly. Sensing something was wrong, I pulled away and looked at himcuriously.

“Is anything the matter?” I asked, and he shook his head.

“Nothing to bother yourself over,” He said and looked around.

“I am famished. Let us eat,” he said quickly, changing the topic, and I nodded. “Ania is bringing food. Iasked her to,” I said, and he smiled and left the bed.

He went to open his luggage.

I wondered why he did not place it in the closet, but I figured he had his reasons. He opened the bagand took out two shopping bags that his clothes had compressed. It was white, and the writing was ingold. It read ‘His Fantasies’; I wondered what was in the bags.

Nikolas came towards me with the bags. “I would love to see you in them,” He said and handed it tome, then sat on the side of the bed while he watched me go through the content.

They were lingeries. A red one, a black one, nude coloured and purple set. They were lacey and racy,and I looked at him and smiled.

He grinned mischievously.

“You decided to step it up from what they used to give me to wear to see you,” I teased, and helaughed.

“I love beauty, and you are an embodiment of it. There is no harm in feeding my eyes and desires,” Hesaid, and I giggled. I loved them all, but I would wear the red lace first. I liked it best.

I put them away, and we waited for the meal. It came in forty minutes later, and how Ania and Lisalooked when they served showed they were sleeping.

I felt bad for interrupting their slumber, but It was necessary. There was no way I could keep up withNikolas’ energy on an empty stomach.

We ate hurriedly, and Nikolas took the food tray to leave it at the door outside.

When he got up, I went into the closet with the bags.

I stripped down, wore the red lace, and looked at myself in the full-length mirror.

I looked like a seductress.

My b*reas*ts looked full in the lacy-wired bra. The lace thongs looked exquisite, and the short lacy robethat I was to wear over it brought them together and made it look splendid.

I let my hair down and put on red l*ipstick.

My l*ips were already plump, so the look was complete.

I was shy because I did not look like my usual self, but Raven was in a hurry to show off.

“Come on, Aliana. Do not live up to the Little girl nickname he gave us,” She said, annoyed that I wascontemplating stepping out of the closet like this.

I had worn things like this before, but it was easier when someone put it on me and I had to wear it. Butnow I chose to wear it, and my intentions were obvious. It was different.

Raven made me leave the closet and step out. Nikolas had already turned off the lights, and only thesoft glow of the lamps illuminated the room. He sat in bed shirtless with his back against the bed rest,facing the closet. He knew I had gone in there to wear the gift. The bracelet hung loosely on my wrist.

“My favourite colour,” he said, and his eyes looked highly l*us*tful. I could feel his wolf coming to thesurface. He left the bed and came towards me. I backed away a bit, still shy, and he pinned me againstthe wall.

“Are we going down this route again, Little wolf,” He said, caressing my chin and looking into my eye.

“You look beautiful, and you shouldn’t be shy about it, my love,” he said, stepping away to admire mewith my back against the wall.

His eyes were completely black, and I could see he was h*ard.

“Perfection,” he said and moved close to admire my curves with his hands. He caressed every inch ofme, moving slowly and feeling my body and the lace simultaneously. Anticipation built up inside me.

“The moment I saw it, I knew it would look perfect on you, little wolf,” he said, feeling my b*reas*ts. Hesqueezed gently, making me moan.

He moved close to me and k*issed me. I returned the k*iss hungrily because I was on fire already.

His desires were my desires, his need had become mine, and my body craved him. The five days werehell—three days of distance and two days away. I planned to get it all back.

He bent over and l*icked my n*ippl*es through the fabric of the lace. The lace was in the way because Iwanted to feel the entire sensation.

He removed my b*reas*ts from the cups, leaving the bra under my b*reas*t and began to s*uc*k onthem gently. I moaned uncontrollably.

I knew I was getting w*et because my walls clenched at what he was doing.

Soon, I ran my fingers through his hair, and he pinned that hand to the wall with his hands. Beingunable to touch him while he worked on my b*reas*ts gave me a n intense sensation. It made me feellike I was at his mercy, and I liked it. It shot the pleasure straight to my head.

“Nikolas,” I moaned, and he growled with approval and went on his knees in front of me. Releasing myhand in the process. He brushed my panties to the side and felt my clit with his tongue.

“Ahh,” I moaned.

He placed my legs over his shoulder with my back against the wall while he ate me. I was running wild,and he knew it.

He continued l*icking and s*uc*king the nerve bundle until I erupted and shook.

I wanted to push his head away, but he held still, and soon another came. By the second time, I wantedhim inside me badly. I felt my w*etness run, and he stood before me, lifting me.

I wrapped my legs around him, and he buried his c*oc*k inside me and p*umped with recklessabandon.

Nikolas was utterly gone, and so was I.

My claws grew out from the intensity of the pleasure, and I held on to him. He p*umped, and soon Isaw his teeth elongate. The pleasure was intense, and it was getting to our heads.

“Goddess, I missed you,” he groaned, p*umping inside me. I came, but he was only beginning. Hemoved me to the bed and made me go on my hands and knees while he rammed into me from behind.

There was a possibility this Lingerie wouldn’t have a second use because I did not know how it wascoming off, but I knew it wasn’t taken off properly but beastly.

He p*umped and p*umped, hitting all the right spots. My orgasms were prolonged, and I liked it. Hisname never left my l*ips. I was on a pleasure high, and he was my drug.

Nikolas finally released into me, pushing himself d*eep and strongly. I felt the energy of his release,and it was more intense than mine. He pulled out gently and laid down beside me in bed, panting.

I did not know when sleep came, but it did, and it was blissful.

I woke up and saw it was afternoon. Nikolas wasn’t beside me, and I knew he wasn’t in the bathroom. Itwas odd because I knew he planned to stay indoors with me the whole day, so I wondered where hemust have gone.

I got off the bed and saw my ripped red lace lingerie on the floor. I was sad because I liked it, but wewere too eager to be careful. I picked them up from the floor to trash them when I heard Ania’s voice.

“Are you up?” She said, and I knew she must have been trying to reach me for a while.

“Yes, Ania, I am up. What is the matter?” I asked her, and she was silent.

“The Queen has regained her sanity, and Alpha just absorbed her into his pack,” She said, and Igasped.

I was in complete shock.

I did not know what to do.

I did not know if I should laugh or cry.

The joy in me was so intense that I just sat on the bed and wept tears of joy and relief.

Finally, something good happened to Nikolas.

Finally, he could show her his achievements.

Finally, she could see how far he had gone to change their status.

I am sure she would be proud, but I also knew a lot of work would be needed to bring her up to speed.

I decided to remain in the room and not interrupt his moment with her. They both deserved to enjoy thejoy of her healing together.

I thanked the goddess for coming through for Nikolas.

I prayed that the heir of Forest did not miraculously show up to destroy their bliss.

I planned to tell Nikolas about him, at least when we are together. Even if I could not discuss whathappened with King Mathias, I could tell him of an Heir that might come to Claim Forest. He deservedto know. At the end of the day, my people were just spoils. We had always been spoils.
