The Alpha Wants Everything Book 1 The King's Queen
Chapter 30: Give me back my cookies!

Kane woke up to an alarm going off at 6 in the morning and a small weight on his back. He blinked a few times to focus on what was happening when the alarm shut off. He tried to look over his shoulder only to see a waterfall of white hair cascading down. He could feel one hand relax on his shoulder, while her other was draped over his arm. One leg on the side by his hip, while the other leg rested on the backs of his. How this was comfortable for her was beyond him, but he enjoyed the feel of her pressed into his back. Not entirely sure of his next move, the alarm went off again. She grumbled something about turning the demon off.

“I can’t baby” he chuckled,

“Why?” She asked, groggily

“Because you are lying on my back!” It took a couple of seconds for his words to sink in, before she lifted her head to see how she was lying on him. The alarm turned off again and she glared at it. She sat up straddling his back and stretched out.

“Not that I am not enjoying the feeling of you moving around, but are you going to get off?” He asked, still chuckling. She pulled herself onto her side of the bed, and he wrapped his arms around her from behind. He trailed kisses along her shoulder to her neck. She snuggled in closer to him, enjoying the feeling of his lips and his embrace.

“Are you sure you want to go to work today? We could just stay in bed all day” he whispered into her ear as he nipped his way to the tip. Before she could answer the demon alarm went off again. He let out a growl and let her go so she could turn it off. She checked the time, she had an hour to get ready, before she had to meet her driver. Still not liking the idea of having a driver, but it was part of the deal she made and it made him happy. She didn’t understand why it made him happy, but it did, she wanted him to be happy, she worried him enough when she had her incidents. She stretched again and went to get out of the bed before she took him up on his offer, only to forget about the height and fell smacking her back and her head on something as she landed in a heap on the floor. Kane bolted out of the bed to her side before she could even sit up. He heard something snap but he wasn’t sure if the sound came from where she hit her back or her head.

“Baby are you ok?” He helped her to a sitting position, she was holding her head when she looked at him, it took her a minute or two to register that he had said anything, but she eventually nodded. He moved her hand out of the way and he saw the bump that was starting to form. He checked over the rest of her body making sure she wasn’t hurt anywhere else.

“Stop, I am fine, just a bump” Dax swatted his hands away.

“You’re not fine, that’s it you’re not going” he said growing concerned over the little bump on her head. Cuff her to the bed! Ky didn’t want her going either.

“It’s fine, it’s just a small bump” she insisted “Besides I’ll have my babysitters there and if I need to come home I will.” She looked at him. He seemed to be struggling with this. She was hurt and he wanted to take care of her, but she was asking him to let her go.

“Alright, but promise me if you can’t handle it, you will call and I will come get you.” He said sternly.

“Why can’t the driver bring me home?” She asked,

“Kenneth offered his Beta Marco for the week, unfortunately he is unable to stay for the whole day, so I have assigned someone who can, and then he will drive you and stay with you after the week is over” He said very matter of factly. “Now promise me!”

“Ok I promise. If I can’t handle the whole day, I will call you and you can play doctor” she said holding her hand up.

“Good! But I have every intention of playing doctor later anyway” he helped her up, but when he saw her wince a little he checked her over again one more time to make sure she really wasn’t hurt.

“Do I have an all clear doctor?” She asked, she tried to arch her eyebrow, but that hurt a little bit.

“No! But you wouldn’t listen to my orders anyway” he complained. She laughed and headed towards the bathroom, to get ready.

She did her business and washed her hands, but couldn’t check her reflection. She would have to remember to grab a mirror from work, if she wanted to be able to see herself. She brushed her teeth and washed her face but felt small sharp stabs of pain in her back as she bent over, she ignored them and turned on the shower. Finding a shirt, bra and panties from her bag that was still conveniently in the bathroom while she waited for the water to warm up. When it was to the temp of her liking she stepped under and let the warmth cascade over her body, melting away her sore muscles. She looked for shampoo, but all that was there was his, she would have to remember to bring hers. Turn around is fair play! How many times did he shower in her bathroom and ended up smelling like a flower until she bought some for him.

Dax was massaging the shampoo into her hair, when she felt a pair of arms wrap around her. The tingles and shocks that jumped across and through her skin she knew who it was. He grabbed the bottle of body wash putting a quarter sized amount on a cloth he started gently washing her and massaging her body. She was trying so hard not to gasp at the movements of his hands, getting soap in her mouth would just wreck this moment. When he was done thoroughly washing her, he guided her back under the water and helped rinse her off. Making sure all the shampoo was out of her hair, grabbing the bottle of conditioner he gently massaged it into her hair, being very careful not to touch her bump that had turned a dark shade of red. He massaged behind her ears that had her purring, he would have to remember that spot for next time. Standing her back under the water he continued her massage, as he rinsed the conditioner from her hair. She felt the fire in her soul intensify.

He switched positions with her and let the warm water wash over him, wanting to repay what he did for her, she told him to get on his knees, he happily obliged, she was the only one that would ever get him on his knees. She massaged the shampoo into his hair in small circular motions, his hands on her hips would slightly tighten when she hit somewhere he liked. When it was time to rinse he remained on his knees and just leaned back under the water. She would move closer to help rinse the shampoo from his hair and he took the opportunity to let his mouth travel the valley between her breasts. His tongue chased the water drops that ran down her body. He would smile against her skin when he heard her gasp or release a moan. When it was time to wash his body, he tried to do it himself but she refused. Her hands trailed all over his body, when he felt her hand slide over him, he braced himself against the walls of the shower.

Kane remembered what her hand did to him last night over the fabric of his briefs. She stroked him slowly, running her hand up and down his length, when his first moan escaped his lips she moved faster. He felt her lips on his chest moving down, her tongue tasting his clean flesh. Riled up to his breaking point, the blaze in his soul becoming an inferno he lifted her to his hips and pushed himself inside of her, his thrusts were hard and fast up against the shower wall. She tried to keep her legs wrapped around him, but they kept slipping. Not wanting to hurt her, he brought them to the shower floor, but his speed never slowed. She cried out as she arched underneath and tightened around him, he moaned with his own release. Both breathing hard, after withdrawing from her, he had her straddle his lap while they came down from their high. She laid her head on his chest and she could feel the fire dancing in her eyes.

“Good morning!” She purred in his ear, she kissed down his neck to the tender part where she sucked and nipped.

“Good morning indeed! What are you doing?” He asked, enjoying the feeling of her mouth against him. When she pulled away, she smiled. There was a mischievous sparkle to her eyes when she looked at him.

“I have to get ready for work” she winked, standing up one final rinse off in the shower she stepped out and wrapped a fluffy towel around herself. Grabbing her clothes and her bag she spared him one last glance and walked out of the bathroom. What are you up to little mouse? He thought, getting to his feet he rinsed off one last time as well and shut the water off. Wrapping a towel around his waist, he stood in front of the mirror, that was when he saw it. A reddish purple mark on the left side of his neck, a smile spread across his face when he reached up to touch it. She marked us! Ky was ecstatic. She could hear him laughing in the bathroom as she was getting dressed. She found her shoes, but she was having an issue locating her pants, seeing how she was not the one that took them off, she didn’t know where Kane put them.

“Now I see what you were doing?” Kane said coming out of the bathroom, she was on her hands and knees looking under the bed when he saw her. Black cotton panties with a lace trim and TORTURE ME written in red across the bottom. He took a deep breath, but the pull to touch her one more time was too strong for him to ignore, crossing the room, he scooped her up and threw her on the bed. He wrapped her legs around him and pushed into her.

“If you keep wearing suggestive panties, getting out of this bedroom will prove quite troublesome for you” he growled out letting his hands trail down her thighs. “Now what are you looking for?” She shivered against his touch, and her breath caught in her throat.

“My….my pants” she breathed out, her fire burning hotter with every touch he made against her skin. He gathered her in his arms and held her to his chest, and rubbed calming circles up and down her back. Diminishing the inferno that was once burning inside of her. This was a slippery slope he was about to maneuver, and he didn’t want to make a mistake. He looked at the purchases she made the other day, that were still sitting where Lacey had left them. He knew they would need to talk about them, and he had been formulating a plan to bring them up again.

“Your pants are in the closet” he started, holding her tighter against him. “But we will talk about your purchases later tonight. Ok?” He felt her stiffness at the mention of them, but the circles he continued to rub on her back relaxed her. She nodded her head against his chest. He kissed the top of her head and moved away from her towards the closet to get dressed. She sat on the bed and stole a glance over her shoulder at them. It was the first time since she got here that she dared to even look in their direction. With fire burning in her eyes, she hated what they made her feel, they were just clothes, and she knew the feeling came from deep inside her, but they released it with their very presence in the room. She didn’t want them, she didn’t deserve them.

“Yes, you do!” His voice startled her, he wrapped his arms around her from behind and buried his face in her neck.

“I hate them,” she said, looking away.

“No, you don’t” he was right, she didn’t hate the clothes, she hated how she felt, she hated how her nightmare made her feel this way. He felt her body heating up, he felt anger coming off of her that he’s never felt before, he felt the fire burning in his eyes.

“I hate him!” She whispered. He held her tighter, allowing her to ride out her anger, she needed this, she needed to say it out loud, needed to release it.

He held her to him until he felt her anger subside. Only when he felt her calmness did he release her.

“Put your pants on, we leave in 10 mins” he said into her ear. She nodded her head.

“Wait! We?” Her eyes widened and she looked at him

“Yes, we. It was decided that I would accompany you to work today and pick you up.” He looked at her and cocked his head to the side

“When was this decided?” She asked, this was news to her

“Last night after the incident in the bathroom” he dared her to argue with him. She opened her mouth to say something, but closed it again, his face said this was not one she was going to win.

“Besides, I have a few things that I need to pick up. Now put your pants on, before I decide to follow the suggestion on your sexy little ass and keep you in this bed, either all fucking day, or fucking all day I’m good with both.” A wicked smile spread across his face and she saw the hunger in his eyes. She swallowed hard, as his words sank in, slowly sliding off the bed she headed towards the closet, looking back over her shoulder she saw his eyes watching her, they traveled up her body until they rested on the words on her ass, she saw his smile widen, and he licked his bottom lip. Holy Fuck! Werewolves are super fucking horny! She thought. Who knew? Her subconscious added.

Kane was waiting downstairs when Johnny joined him. Johnny’s eyes widened when he saw the mark on Kane’s neck.

“What the fuck is that?” He asked, pointing trying so hard not to burst out laughing,

“Now that’s a hickey,” Kenneth replied, trying to stifle his own laughter after he saw the mark.

“Wonder how he got that?” Amusement dripped from Johnny’s voice.

“Sorry, I couldn’t replace my pants” Dax said coming down the stairs, Johnny and Kenneth both just erupted into loud laughter.

“Thank you baby, that didn’t help,” Kane said, pinching the bridge of his nose. She looked at him confused.

“What?” She asked, looking between the three of them.

“Nothing baby, we’re just surrounded by idiots, shall we?” He held out his hand for her to take. She accepted and they started heading outside “When you two idiots are finished, we’ll be leaving now” Kane called, opening the door for her. Stepping out of the house she saw Marco talking to someone she’s never met and Lacey by herself waiting by the SUV. She hesitated looking at Kane, he just nodded letting her know this was ok. She followed closely behind him, it was hard not to be intimidated when they all stood so much taller than her. And they’re all capable of ripping us to pieces! Her subconscious added. Not helping, not helping at all!

“Dax this is Carter, he will be-“ she cut him off before he could finish the introduction

“My babysitter, for the next foreseeable future” she said, extending her hand to Carter. “Hi!”

“Hello Luna! It’s a pleasure to meet you” Carter said, accepting her hand and bowing his head trying to hide the smile on his face. Lacey tried to contain her displeasure at having to go to work at the warehouse. No one asked her if she wanted to, but the little imp needed help and Johnny volunteered her without her knowledge. Her arms were crossed at her chest and she was trying not to pout, when she saw the mark on Kane’s neck.

“Holy Fuck! Did you give him a hickey?” She asked, eyes dancing with merriment. Carter immediately averted his eyes to the ground, Dax tried to hide her blush.

“Um...maybe?” Dax answered,

“Uh huh!” Lacey smirked at her brother. “Ready to go?” Dax snapped her eyes back to Lacey, was she hearing this correct.

“You’re coming to work with me?” She asked, trying not to sound excited.

“Surprise!” Lacey squealed, she could fake the excitement, she prided herself on being able to fake everything and anything. She told Johnny this is temporary and they better replace a replacement fast. Dax threw her arms around Lacey, this was good news, Dax was sure after yesterday Lacey would steer clear of her.

“Oh Goddess! What happened to your head?” Lacey said, looking at the bump, she looked at Kane then back at Dax.

“It’s not his fault, I fell out of the bed this morning. It’s a bit too high.” Dax defended Kane, he already felt bad.

“We should get a move on,” Kane said, looking at Carter, who just nodded and headed for the front passenger side. Kane opened the backdoor for the girls, when Johnny caught up with them to say goodbye to Lacey. He pulled Lacey into his arms and kissed her hard.

“See you later my love!” He said when he released her. The girls giggled as they climbed into the backseat. “I’m not sure how much work they are going to get done today. Where the fuck are you going?” He asked, looking at Kane.

“I am taking Dax to work, then I have a few things to pick up in town. I should be back in a few hours. Have someone fix my bathroom door, and start building a ledge around the tub and locate a step stool, should be one in the day care.” Kane replied, Johnny arched an eyebrow at him.

“She can barely reach the sink, or get in the tub safely. Stairs will also need to be built on her side of the bed, two feet high with a two foot landing.” Kane explained, Johnny still had a questioning look on his face. “She doesn’t want to change the room, she likes it the way it is, but some adjustments need to be done so she can actually utilize it fully. Half the closet is going to need to be lowered as well.”

“And what happened to the bathroom door?” Johnny asked,

“There was another incident last night and I had to break it open to get to her” Johnny’s face fell a little and he rubbed the back of his head, but he nodded and stepped back from the vehicle as Kane climbed in and closed the door.

The girls happily chatted the whole way to the warehouse, but requested a stop by Glenda’s first for breakfast and coffee. Kane declined eating at the moment and said he would grab something later. He watched Carter as he took in the area that surrounded him. Looked at people’s faces, the ones that moved in a hurry, the ones that took their time.

“Is it always this busy at this time?” Carter asked, still watching all the people moving on the street.

“For the most part, it’s the morning crowd,” Kane replied, still watching him. “You don’t like humans?” Kane asked, him sitting forward in the backseat.

“Don’t have much contact with them” he replied,

“Do you have a mate Carter?” Kane asked, Carter looked at him in the rear view mirror.

“I do, he works in the garden center three blocks from the diner” this intrigued Kane.

“He’s not a warrior?” Kane asked, arching his eyebrow. Carter was one of their best. It was one of the other reasons he chose him to watch over Dax.

“Brandon trains like everyone else and can hold his own in a fight if need be, but he prefers to....make things grow, whereas I prefer to beat the shit out of them….should the need arise.” Carter replied. A crooked grin appeared on Kane’s face when he heard this.

“And if someone was going after Brandon?” Kane asked,

“Hell or high water would not stop me from replaceing them sir. I understand, she is my Luna and I make the same pledge to her that I made to you ’Mea vita eam ad” With his hand over his heart, Carter pledged his life for hers.

“Good answer!” Kane said, sitting back against the seat again.

“Don’t let her eat pie for lunch. Though she has a valid argument, don’t let her do it” Carter looked at him in the rear view mirror again, confusion furrowed his brow, but he nodded his head.

The girls came back to the SUV laughing and holding bags of food and coffees. Lacey passed a coffee and a croissant sandwich to Marco and Carter and sat back in the seat. Dax gave Kane something to eat and a coffee.

“I said I would eat later,” he looked at the bag.

“Nobody likes a grumpy mountain wolf,” Dax said looking up at him with a smile on her face. Sweet and innocent as she may be, his little mouse was up to something.

’What’s in the other bag?” Kane asked, suspiciously.

“Nothing!” Both Dax and Lacey said in unison. Holding their treasure to them tightly.

“I don’t know who the worst influence is here. It better not be pie” Kane sighed.

Carter watched curiously from the rearview mirror, he tried to keep his smile to himself, but his eyes gave him away.

“It’s definitely not pie!” Lacey said. Kane held out his hand to take the bag, they both sat there refusing to give up their treasure. Another sigh.

“This vehicle does not move until you give me that bag” again Kane held out his hand.

“Fine, grumpy mountain wolf,” Lacey said and put the bag in his hand. Both girls huffed, crossed their arms over their chests and pouted. Kane opened the bag,

“Really? Cookies are not a breakfast food.” Kane said bewildered.

“They were freshly baked!” Dax pouted, Kane looked to the front seat.

“Does Brandon put you through this?” Kane asked Carter

“No sir!” He said trying to hide his smile that got wider.

“Marco!”

“Sì sir!” He too was trying to hide the amusement he found at the situation, he was failing miserably at it as his shoulders shook.

“To the warehouse please!” He pinched the bridge of his nose, now he has a grumpy little mouse on his hands. Shouldn’t have taken her cookies! Ky scolded him. Are you serious? Who eats cookies for breakfast? The same little mouse that eats pie for lunch! Ky reminded him. Don’t start! I’m not starting! Are you gonna pout now? I’m not pouting! You are so pouting! She’s sad, give her back her cookies! No, that is not breakfast!

“Baby don’t pout,” Kane said, taking her hand and kissing the back of it.

“You took my cookies” Dax wasn’t even going to deny the fact that she was pouting. She turned her face away from him.

“You’re not even going to look at me now” He traced her little fingers with his. She shook her head. “Oh, you’re not going to talk to me either” she shook her head again.

It was a long silent 10 minute ride to the warehouse, neither Lacey or Dax would look at or talk to Kane. They both sat there pouting looking out the side window. When Marco pulled into the bay door, Kane instructed both him and Carter to check the building and the surrounding area through the mindlink. Lacey exited the vehicle and Dax was right behind her when Kane wrapped his arms around her waist and pulled her back in closing the door behind her. She let out a squeak at the suddenness of it all and before she could even comprehend what just happened, she was sitting straddling his lap looking him in the eye. She tried to get off his lap, but he held her firm against him.

“Now what am I going to do with you?” Kane asked,

“Give me back my cookies” she replied, her bottom lip jutting out a little.

“Oh, little mouse that doesn’t work on me. Cookies are not breakfast” Kane nipped her bottom lip

“Their oatmeal chocolate chip, oatmeal is breakfast” she argued. She has a point! Ky agreed with her. Give her the cookies, stop being mean!

“And if I give you the cookies that will make you happy?” Kane asked, her eyes lit up and she nodded her head. He breathed a deep sigh. “Eat this first and I will give you one cookie” he placed the bag that contained his breakfast sandwich in her hands. She looked at the bag, then looked at him.

“Four cookies!” She said,

“Four cookies?” He exclaimed, eyes wide.

“Two for Lacey, two for Carter,” she explained. He thought it was adorable that she was negotiating for the others. What about her? Ky asked.

“What about you?” He asked.

“It’s ok, I don’t need any” She replied, looking at him with wide pleading eyes. He stared back into her eyes, he knew how much she loved desserts, but she would give her cookies up to make sure someone else got some. She truly was a special little mate. He rubbed his hand along his jaw. Give her the cookies! Ky huffed in his head.

“Six cookies! Two for you, two for Lacey and two for Carter, but you eat that right now” she opened that bag and pulled out the sandwich. “What is it?” He asked curious, the aroma tantalizing his senses.

“Double bacon, egg and tomato on a toasted croissant and a homemade hash patty” she said and took a small bite. She already had one at the dinner and she knew he would be hungry.

“Ok, that does sound good” Kane had to admit, his stomach growling.

“Lacey and I ate one in the diner while we were waiting for the cookies” she said around another small mouthful.

“What?” She looked at Kane and batted her full eyelashes

“You didn’t ask! It’s Monday. Every Monday Glenda makes me sit in the diner and eat breakfast and then sends me back to the warehouse with a dozen freshly baked oatmeal chocolate chip cookies.” She said matter of factly. He shook his head, he should have known Glenda wouldn’t let her just eat cookies for breakfast. She offered him a bite and he eagerly accepted it.

“Good right!” He nodded, then a thought occurred to him the day they had pie for lunch.

“And the day we ate pie for lunch?” He took another bite.

“She gave me a grilled chicken salad. I was just fucking with you guys, you trashed the warehouse and I was mad, and I thought it would be funny. It was funny! You did give me brownies and ice cream for supper though.” She said smiling.

“What? When did I give you brownies for supper?” He asked, taking another bite that she fed him.

“The day of our meeting, I waited till 6 and when you didn’t show I just continued to work and I worked through supper. I lost track of time and then you showed up with brownies and I realized I didn’t eat supper” she shrugged her shoulders.

“You didn’t say anything” she fed him the last of the sandwich and wiped her hands on a napkin

“I was getting brownies and ice cream for supper, why would I say anything?” She laughed at the look of surprise that crossed his face. He lifted his eyes towards the sky as he gave his head a small shake. Sneaky little mate! Ky laughed.

“Sneaky, sneaky little mouse” Another thought occurred to him, Glenda takes care of her, she makes sure she eats properly, kind of like a mother would. He has also noticed how protective Glenda is over her. “Have you ever spoken to anyone about your past?” He asked, she shook her head

“No, you’re the only one,” He nodded. When he saw Carter and Marco coming back he wrapped his arms around her and kissed her hard.

“Before I forget” she broke the kiss and gave him back his black credit card. He took it from her and put it back in his wallet. He opened the door and they got out.

“We will be back here at 5, but if you want to come home early just call” he said, turning her towards him. She nodded her head. He hugged her and kissed her.

“Have a good day, baby” he whispered in her ear.

“You too” she kissed him, took her six cookies and she and Lacey ran off into the warehouse.

“È tutto tranquillo dentro, sir (It’s all quiet inside, sir)” Marco said, “Shhh….quiet!” adding the word in English, when it came to him

“Good” Kane said,

“Perimeter is quiet as well, but that side door concerns me,” Carter said,

“Sì apre dall’interno. (It opens from the inside) Open….in….side” Marco interjected, fighting to get the words out.

“Maybe, but one quick pop with a crowbar from the outside would have it open as well.” Carter explained,

“Hmmm….” Kane didn’t like that, Alpha Thomas was coming on Wednesday to see the warehouse, but that left her vulnerable for two days. “Marco and I will take a look, Carter, stay with the girls” Carter bowed and nodded and ran inside, while Kane and Marco walked around to the side of the building. They looked at the door, Carter was right, it wouldn’t take anything to get that door open from the outside.

“Potremmo bloccarlo per ora (We could block it for now)” Marco suggested “B….block….it.” The door was a little warped and would need to be replaced.

“She uses this door to clean her paint buckets out” And herself when she gets really dirty,! Ky snickered in his head. Oh, he remembered that day very well. A low growl rippled through him. “Fuck!”

“Carter”

“Yes sir!”

“If she uses this door make sure you are with her”

“Yes sir!”

“Check it frequently as well”

“Yes sir!”

There wasn’t much he could do about the door, until it got replaced. It made him angry, but getting mad wouldn’t help. He pulled out his phone and called Alpha Thomas. He would get his patrols to keep an eye on that door from the outside, as well as having Carter watch it from the inside. He would also have to inform him that Carter was there, so his patrols didn’t think he was a threat. She was to be their future Luna as well, and this would not be a successful pack merge if blood was spilt over friendly fire. He also informed Carter that he would potentially smell other wolves in the area, patrols from the Hillcrest pack would be passing through keeping an eye on the surrounding woods. With that out of the way he continued with the rest of his morning as planned.
