The Alpha's Companion

Chapter 38 - The Alpha's Mate

As instructed, Lacey had the staff move her things into the spare room in Julien's suite, and she spent the afternoon organizing everything. Madame Pomeroy had also brought a lot of the wardrobe to the wedding that she had shown Lacey. Luckily, there was a double closet for her to put everything in, and her new bedroom was much bigger. Between the wardrobe Julien had bought her at Aurora and now the clothes from Madame Pomeroy, Lacey had more clothes and shoes than she knew what to do with.

She also had a private bathroom off her new bedroom. After everything was organized, she took a shower and dressed in a casual outfit and waited for Julien. It was their wedding night, after all.

While she was waiting, Lacey had the unsettling urge to want to help with the cleanup and the possible interrogation of any Wildclaws that were caught. But from what she saw, it was more of a hit and run. The Wildclaws came in long enough to wreak havoc and then left just as quickly. It was strange. Why would they do that unless the sole purpose was to ruin their wedding? Deep down, she wondered if Scar had anything to do with it. But she hoped that even Scar wouldn't sink so low as to ruin their wedding day.

After everything ws organized and put away, Lacey headed out to the living room and poured herself a glass of wine. Then she eyed the wall of books on the far wall. John Grisham... Tom Clancy.... Then there were classics such as The Three Musketeers, The Man in the Iron Mask, both by Alexandre Dumas; as well as Twenty Thousand Leagues Under the Sea and From the Earth to the Moon, both by Jules Verne; and much more. It was an impressive collection. She chose From the Earth to the Moon and then sat on the couch to wait for Julien.

But the more she read, the more restless she became waiting for him to come back. Unable to take any more, she slipped on a pair of boots and headed out the door.

In the garden, the reception area had already been cleaned and a few shifters were in their human forms, just finishing up.

“Were there any casualties?” Lacey asked Eliza, one of the shifters assisting in the cleanup.

Eliza shook her head. “No, none at all. There were a few minor injuries, but nothing to speak of.”

Lacey nodded. “Keep me posted… please.”

“Yes, Alpha Queen.” Then Eliza went back to assisting with the cleanup.

Then Lacey headed back into the castle, through the foyer, and out the front doors. There were still no bodies. Raye was standing to the side, and Lacey closed the distance between them. “Any casualties?”

Raye shook his head. “No. None.” He shrugged. “A few were taken to the infirmary, but they’ll heal quickly.”

Lacey nodded. “Good. Keep me posted.”

“Yes, Alpha Queen.”

She had waited too late to come out. But when Lacey headed back to their bedroom, Julien met her at the top of the stairs.

He smirked as he took her in, shaking his head. “Not one to follow orders, are you?”

She shrugged, grinning mischievously. “Hey! You married me.”

Julien grinned from ear to ear. “Yes, I did, didn’t I?” He waited until she was at the top of the stairs, scooped her into his arms nuzzling her neck, and carried her to his bedroom as she laughed. He didn’t stop, taking her straight into his bedroom and kicked the door closed, as her wolf growled with pleasure.

He laid her on the bed, kneeling beside her, and then unbuttoned his shirt, revealing his tight muscles playing beneath his skin. He was the most gorgeous man she had ever seen… and he was her mate. Her wolf purred with pleasure and want, taking him in. Then he lay beside her, a sincere look in his eyes. “If I do anything to hurt you, let me know.”

She nodded, not sure what to expect, but her heart was already racing.

He gently stroked her hair away from her face, looking into her eyes, and then his lips descended upon hers softly at first, but soon was filled with passion.

She pushed his shirt down off his shoulders, needing to see more of him, and he complied, stripping it off and throwing it onto the floor. Then he slowly unbuttoned her shirt, revealing her bra, and then he lifted her from the bed and cradled her within his arms, with her sitting on his lap, and laced his fingers through her long hair as he looked into her eyes.

“You are so beautiful, he sighed, crushing his lips to hers, as his hands explored her back and then took off her bra and threw it onto the floor. She smiled as he laid her back down onto the bed, and slide down, slowly kissing her stomach, up to her breasts, causing her breath to quicken, then up to her neck. Then he laid across her body, careful not to crush her, as his lips descended upon hers in a passionate kiss.

“You are so sexy,” she breathed into his mouth, running her fingertips over his well-defined shoulders and back, enjoying the feel, the power, of this wonderful man.

Then he stood and slowly unzipped his pants, letting his length spring free.

“Oh my,” she breathed, unaware that she had said it aloud.

He smirked, stroking himself, and then bent over her and pulled her panties down with his teeth, and threw them onto the floor. A low growl erupted from deep within his chest as he took her in, biting his lower lip.

Then he leaned over her and kissed her stomach, taking his time as he moved down, causing her to gasp when she found her pleasure bud. He sucked and licked, sending shoots of pleasure all over her body. Then he slid two fingers inside, and started moving in and out as he sucked and licked, and she involuntarily pushed against his hand, panting with pleasure.

“Julien, I want you,” she breathed and then leaned back against the bed, feeling only him as pleasure consumed her. “Julien!” she cried out as her body writhed, pushing hard against his fingers and mouth as her orgasm overtook her.

Julien smirked as he raised up and stroked his length, and then pushed into her slowly at first, letting her adjust to his size. When she was ready, he pushed into her farther, slowly. She gripped his back tightly, digging into his skin, as pain ripped through her at first, but then quickly subsided. He stopped until she nodded, and then pushed harder until his full length was inside her. Then he began moving in and out, slowly at first, and then harder, and faster, until she screamed again, her body writhing, sending him over the edge as he pumped into her and they climaxed together.

Later, he lay spent across her and then asked, “Want to go again?”

He spent the rest of the night, slowly introducing her to the pleasures of the flesh… and of the heart… as her wolf purred in pleasure, having finally found her mate.
