The Alpha Princess
Chapter Thirty

Celina

“What is this, Chris,” I ask him breathlessly, just noticing a bottle of red wine and a couple of glasses at the top center of the blanket. My heart is pounding, and I’m surprised by the heat that is going through me.

He chuckles mischievously, making my stomach tremble. “I thought we’d celebrate finishing your finals. It’s nothing compared to what I wanted to do, but I have to work with what I have.”

“It’s perfect,” I tell him while he leads me into the room. “How did you have time to do this?”

“Ruben helped set up while you were taking your tests. I asked them to pick up all of this while they were out last.” He motions for me to go and sit down, and locks the door behind me. He does a quick check to make sure no one is hiding and then comes to join me on the blanket.

We look out into the dark city, the stars already showing. Chris sits next to me and hands me a glass of red wine.

“How did you know I liked red?” I ask, taking a sip of the amazing wine. There are delicately woven hints of cinnamon, cardamom, raspberries, and rose. “This is delicious,” I tell him, which brings an automatic smile to his face.

“I noticed a few of the bottles when we were moving them into the van. All red. I also noticed a few astronomy textbooks.” He hints and almost laughs.

I make a mocked gasp. “Were you going through my things?”

He chuckles, “No, just noticing things as I packed.”

“So, since you brought it up, what do you know about astronomy?”

He shrugs, “Not much, but I do know constellations. I’ve always loved the stories behind them, and how many different ones there are for each civilization.”

I look up at the sky, watching the twinkling stars while I feel his eyes on me. “I love that too. So many different stories all involving a simple clump of stars. What is your favorite constellation?”

He purses his lips as he thinks about it, “Ophiocus.” He shifts over to his hip so he can lean closer to me. “There is something exhilarating about a man who was so skilled at his craft, that a God chose to slay him.”

“He was bringing men back from the dead,” I argue before taking another sip of wine.

He chuckles, “True, but I believe that it was for the best. What about you?”

I smirk, “Perseus.”

That makes him laugh. “Why am I not surprised?”

I shrug. “You’ve got to respect a man who kills the King with the very thing he was set out to destroy, get revenge for him and his mother, and rescued his beautiful bride in the process.”

He allows that and moves a little closer to me. “Of course, we can’t forget Lupus, the God of the Hunt; made up of stars like Alpha Lupi, Beta Lupi, and Gamma Lupi.”

I roll my eyes. “Ah yes the totally well-known wolf constellation,” I chuckle. “It is a cute one though.”

“Cute? You’re calling the God of the Hunt cute,” he scoffs, acting offended as he pokes me in my side. I think Lepus is the cutest.”

“Of course he is. He’s a bunny.”

“Hare,” he corrects with a grin on his face.

I laugh as he pushes me again. “You’re in a good mood.”

“Of course I am. You’re done with studying. Now I get to spend actual time with you.”

I pull my hair out of its messy bun and push it over my shoulder. “True. If I have to look at another math equation, it’ll be too soon.”

“How do you think you did?”

I groan as I shake my head. “Not sure. Those tests were rough, so it could go either way.”

“You can try again next year,” he tells me as he touches my hand, making me look at him. “For what it’s worth, I think you did great. You’re so smart Celina, so I know you’ve got your degree in the bag.”

“Hopefully,” I say as I look down at our hands. “Hopefully I get to use my degree.”

“I don’t see why not,” Chris tells me, and I glance up to see admiration in his eyes. “I’m not king yet Celina, so we can still travel. I’ll go wherever you do. It’s only fair after the amount of work you’ve put in.”

That is more than I could ever hope to hear out of someone of his status, and the most heart-melting, and meaningful thing he could have ever said to me. I set down my glass of wine and push my lips to his. I feel a fire spreading through me, and I need his lips to quench it. He’s initially stiff in his surprise and then wraps his arms around me; rolling onto his back and placing me on his chest. I feel his hand reaching up the back of my top and do a small pinch to unhook my bra. Fire trails on my skin as his fingernail gently scratches my back, making me melt into him and leaning further into his breath-stealing kiss.

Nimbly, he removes my shirt and rolls on top of me. “Are you sure about this? If we go any further, I won’t be able to stop myself from entering you.”

I lock my eyes with his, his hypnotic topaz eyes stilling my mind. Without a word, I eagerly push into him as I grab his shirt collar; pulling him down to meet his lips with mine once more. I feel his hands dig into my waist as he pushes his hips against mine. I gasp when his bulge meets my wettened core; the movement creating a tantalizing sensation to rocket through me. My hips immediately buck into him as he breaks away from my lips and starts sucking and lapping at my mark, trying to soften it for an easier marking.

Chris shifts away from me slightly, and sticks his fingers in me, making me gasp as he works my core into a gripping measure of pleasurable sensations. My mind stills as a moan waves through me; exciting him even further and pushing his fingers even faster. I bite into his neck to contain a surprisingly loud moan from my lips.

A chuckle comes from him, throwing me a bit from the moment as he holds my head into my bite. “I wasn’t expecting that one, my love.”

I roll so I’m on top of him. “I should have warned you that I like to bite.”

His eyes glint in the candlelight as he smirks. “I should have told you that I like it. You missed my mark though.”

“I wasn’t aiming for it,” I tell him with a challenging grin as I take off his shirt. “That one is for later.” I wink at him as I move lower, kissing his chest as I go and allowing his fingers to rake through my hair.

“You have this planned,” he asks, his voice tight as I kiss his waist and slowly remove his pants and underwear while I move further down him.

“I always have something planned,” I tell him before swallowing his member whole. He gasps as his hips push toward me while I work him quickly. I cup his balls with one hand to gently massage them while I use my other to work with me.

He growls as he nears his finish. “Celina, I won’t be able to control myself if you keep going.”

Aroused by the challenge, I increase my speed and take his massive girth in further, causing his back to arch as he gasps my name. Sensing how close he is, I tighten my mouth and swallow him whole once more, finishing him. I relax my tongue as my mouth fills with his cum. I can feel him contracting as his hips quake, with his breathing speeding up. This excites me as my core wettens, swallowing my fill as I pull away from him.

He growls his excitement as he pulls me up and kisses me, rewarding me for my well-done job as he cups my crotch, sticking his fingers back in me as he pushes me onto my back. I moan into his lips as I dig my nails into his shoulder blades.

I let out a small pout as he pulls his fingers out of me right before he straddles me. He pushes himself against my core, making a sharp gasp escape me as he grinds against me. Sheer desire is rolling through me as I wish for him to enter me. He increases his speed as he starts lapping and sucking my neck once more, making pleasure fill my body as my eyes roll to the back of my head.

“Chris,” I gasp. “Please Chris,” I beg, longing to feel him inside me. “Please.”

At that moment, I feel his canines enter my neck and then feel his penis enter me; eliciting a hard moan to escape me. My vision turns red and an image of his teeth entering my neck is all I can see. I don’t feel as if I have lost, but that I have won. I’ve spent half a decade escaping this moment, and I’m starting to wonder why I put it off for so long with him.

His grip on me tightens as I squeeze his shoulders, my nails digging into him as I hear Mara growl her acceptance of my choice for a mate. Surprising both of us, he lets go of my neck to mark me for a second time on my other side, securing his claim on me as his mate. One mark is standard, and two are rare. Two enhances the bond and usually signals how strongly he feels the mate bond. It’s also a clear sign of how possessive of a mate he truly is, and it tells other males he will kill them if he feels they’re overstepping their bounds with me.

At this moment, I really don’t care to question it. I’m too distracted by how my body is responding to him. I can feel myself tightening around him, so much I’m surprised he’s still able to move. As he sucks on my second mark, he thrusts harder into me, and more feverishly, causing a strong urge to scream as pressure builds. A euphoric moan escapes me as my body is released in orgasmic ecstasy. I move my hips with his as I bite into his neck to cover my scream from well-hearing ears, while simultaneously staking my claim on him and causing him to bow his head and lose his grip on my neck. Taking him off guard I feel his release as he moans my name once more, his penis swelling a little to lock him into place to insure fertilization. Thank the goddess for birth control.

He lifts his head as he kisses me. “What brought that on?”

I crinkle my nose as I blush. “It was just the moment.”

He smirks and boops my nose. “I’m not buying that one Celina. You like me.”

“So,” I ask as he shifts so I’m sitting on top of him.

That smirk turns into a winning smile as he looks at my marks. “They look good on you.”

“Do you want to explain the need for two?” I ask him, touching the still-tender skin carefully.

His eyes blacken as he speaks, “Because you’re mine.”

Mara pulls forward, drawn by the chance of seeing Rajin. “And you are mine.”

“I can tell,” he tells me while he points to his mark as proof, which he seems rather proud of. “Care to tell me why you finally accepted me?”

I smile as my wolf falls back. “Because you came for me, and you’re the most supportive partner I have ever had. It also doesn’t feel like we’re trying to strong-arm the other all the time. You also listen to me, instead of trying to control me.”

He chuckles as his eyes sparkle. “You are an Alpha Princess Celina, and you are my mate. I will always do those things.” He pulls me into him and puts his lips on my head to kiss me. “Go and shower. We have to leave in a half hour.”

I nod as I grab the blanket and pull myself off of him. He growls at my early withdrawal but he doesn’t seem to mind. I walk into the guest shower since it still has the flower shower curtain up, and I get a bit more privacy than my glass one. The boys are all sleeping in the living room to keep watch on the only entrance into my apartment, so I know the room is empty.

I turn on the shower and step into it, my skin still tingling where Chris has marked me. My entire body is warming, signaling that I’m going to enter into heat soon. It’ll only last a few days, but it’s going to be painful if I can’t use Chris to relieve some of the pressure. My wolf is pacing, seeming agitated about it as well. Seeing Rajin has stirred her senses, and her thoughts are chaotic.

After letting the warm water work over my sore body, I start washing my hair. While rinsing my hair, my wolf growls, “Sephtis.”
