Queen Of The Alpha
Chapter 23

Layan went through several sensations before his brow furrowed. His room was dark, illuminated only by the moonlight filtering through the balcony, through the thin curtains of his canopy bed. Yet he could see perfectly, thanks to his wolfish abilities, the cold, smiling face of the woman sitting above him.

The white thighs were on either side of her h**s, causing the simple, loose-fitting short nightgown to ride upwards, leaving too much skin exposed. If that was the worst of it she wouldn’t bother. Priscilla had her entire torso lying on her chest resting her face in her hand. The position meant that one of her shoulders was completely bare and part of the valley of her chest. And it didn’t seem to bother her.

But Layan did because one was practically naked and the other completely. Layan never minded sleeping without clothes, as a wolf it was completely normal, but for the first time he wished he had more than a thin sheet that barely covered his h**s.

-How did you get in,” for some reason he knew his answer. She had to imagine that a simple prohibition on his part wouldn’t stop her from going in there.

She bowed her head into his palm. Her long hair now in a thick braid shifted from her back falling onto the bed caressing Layan’s fingers. It was too soft to the touch. He felt like tangling the soft strands in his hands but it was fleeting.

-I only asked the necessary questions and they only gave me the answer.

Layan narrowed his eyes.

-Did you read their minds again?

She nodded.

-And a little more. They wouldn’t let me in.” If it wasn’t who he was, he could let that pass as a simple innocent comment. Nothing could be further from the truth.

Taking a deep breath he tried to get up but remained on his elbows. She was sitting strategically in a dangerous place and it was best not to provoke, especially with recent events. It had only been a few movements but something more than her h*p was starting to wake up. Damn, she was too sensitive.

-Priscilla,” he called to her in a deep voice in an attempt to hide what was really happening to him.

-Hmm,” her silver eyes glittered.

-I told you you were forbidden to enter my room. Do you have so little respect for me?

There they go again.

-I don’t know why you’re upset. There’s a part of you that isn’t,” she ignored his question outright. As usual.

The alpha closed his eyes as he felt her shift slightly and brought a hand to her h*p, squeezing it hard. His fingers buried themselves in the soft flesh she found uncovered and he had the urge to release her but he knew if he did she would continue to play with him.

-Priscilla, I’m losing patience,” a bead of sweat ran down his back.

Her lily scent was getting stronger, he could tell she was provoking him and he was losing ground. How could he not be an alpha, how could he look so vulnerable in front of a puppy. He hated what bonding could do, especially to males.

-That’s good, it makes it more fun, don’t you think,” she was in a good mood for the night.

-Go back to your room, I have to rest, unlike you who only intends to play and waste my time, I have a lot of work to do,” he almost growled at her in frustration.

-After all I went through to get here, you think I’ll leave so easily,” his lips turned up.

-Yes, or I’ll get you out myself. If you don’t learn the easy way, you’ll learn the hard way,” he threatened. If she didn’t understand he would have to bring some order.

He used his bond to use her submission to make her realise that he wasn’t just anyone, he was an alpha and above all the one who had put her to sleep. The mark on Priscilla’s neck burned and she growled. Her back arched at the uncomfortable stinging sensation that could brush into pain creating pressure on the wolf’s h*p between her thighs.

This time it was the alpha that growled. No, it hadn’t been a good idea to do that. He was in a tricky situation now. He could feel that his arousal had increased considerably in the last few seconds and his e******n was really sensitive.

Priscilla was aware of this as she was able to breathe once the pressure was completely gone. If she could feel anything she would have been annoyed by his attempt to try and subjugate her but instead, feeling nothing she just found this to be an alpha outburst.

-Do you want me to help you with that,” she asked and Layan knew exactly what she meant, “I brought it on myself after all.

The wolf let out a choked m**n and bit her lower l*p. This feeling was very similar to that time with the dream. The same heat coursing through him, the same smell. He growled accordingly.

-I don’t need your help. Come back at once,” he closed his eyes, exhausted and trembling slightly.

-I told you I won’t,” she replied very calmly.

-Priscilla,” she warned him, her blue eyes shining out of the darkness.

-I’ve never slept alone, and it won’t be the first time I have. Besides, the people in your pack are very noisy, and they’re always voicing opinions inside my mind. Don’t help make my headache worse.

After saying this, she let herself fall to the side and collapsed on the bed as if she was exhausted, her eyes closed.

Layan couldn’t say anything to that objection. He imagined that the change of environment again was something he had to get used to. And besides, after looking at her for a few seconds without all the jumble of sensations she caused him when she touched him, he noticed her forehead was slightly wrinkled. She wasn’t lying.

-Tonight only,” he dropped back onto the bed. He swallowed the lump in his throat at the indignation of finally being the one who had succumbed. How humiliating.

-Hmm,” she made a long sound with her throat and snuggled further into his arm. Her breathing became soft and steady at once. She had surrendered.

Instead the dream had completely vanished from the alpha’s body. Who the hell could do that with an e******n and the man responsible for it still at her side? Well, not him, exactly. Still he closed his eyes and prayed he could at least fall asleep. Luckily for him it wasn’t long before he forgot everything and drifted into unconsciousness.

It was soft and smelled good, too good. He rubbed his nose several times, inhaling the delicious aroma. His hands moved, kneading the delicious texture between his fingers, full of curved surfaces that he could squeeze easily. It didn’t feel bad at all to wake up this way. Rather, it was quite pleasant.

He heard what sounded like a faint m**n through the haze of his mind but it only motivated him to tighten his grip and k**s it in front of him. Luscious. He needed more and couldn’t help but press whatever was next to him against his body.

The creak of a door opening and the exclamation of a familiar voice caused him to slowly open his eyes, waking up. He let out a soft, slow grunt of protest as the pleasant sensation suddenly vanished.

But great was his shock at the scene before him. Standing in front of the door was his sister with her eyes wide open, looking at him and not just at him. Layan swallowed and didn’t want to know any more about it as he had only a remote idea of what was going on. Finally he had to when he heard another m**n.

He held Priscilla in his arms. Her back against his chest. His hands under her clothes in so many places he couldn’t believe it himself, and she was breathing hard, panting, and a faint trickle of saliva crossed the edge of her chin. Her gaze was completely unfocused.

The wolf sat up in bed, pulling his hands away from her as if he was on fire.

What the hell had he done?
