The Alpha King's Series

CHAPTER THIRTY-FOUR

BRINLEY.

It's been two days since Xander has seen my sketches for the new orphanage. He and I have a meeting to discuss it with one of Xander's contractors.

Xander also agreed to keep this under wraps so the nuns don't find out; I want to surprise them. The nuns will be able to bring in more help and more children. Katie had an idea to help get the kids into new homes.

Hopefully, a fundraiser will help bring the orphanage some finances and show off the beautiful kiddos.

Katie and I are going to the rental to tell the nuns the excellent news.

"Remember not to let it slip about the orphanage, okay?" I tell Katie as were walking. I love Katie, but sometimes she has a big mouth.

"I won't," She says, glancing at me.

I raised my brow, and she pursed her lips.

“I won't. Trust me,"

I nod my head.

I trust Katie. I just don't trust her mouth.

"How are things with you and Xander?" Katie changes the subject.

"Good. The other day he told me I will make a great queen,”

Katie stops walking, and her mouth drops.

"Did he propose?” She asks.

I shake my head.

"No. He just meant with the way I am with the kingdom, that I would be great at it,"

Katie nods.

"You will be. But it sounds like to me; he wants to marry you," Katie grins.

I roll my eyes.

"You're insane. Why would Xander want to marry me?"

"You're kidding, right?" She says.

I shake my head.

"Brin, you are amazing. You and Xander make a great team,”

"I don't know," I tell her honestly.

I love Xander. But am I a good fit for him? For this kingdom? I'm afraid that I will fail, and Xander will hate me for it.

"What kind of fundraiser?” Sister Mary Danvers asks.

"A carnival. We can host one every year to help raise funds and get the children adopted,” I explained.

The sister shakes her head.

"The King will never approve of this,"

Katie laughs.

And I and sister Mary Danvers look at her.

Katie clears her throat.

"The King will approve of it. After all, Brinley,” Katie pauses, pointing in my direction.

"Is the King's mate,”

Sister Mary Danvers looks at me and raises a brow.

"You said he was marrying the mother of the baby you always have with you,”

I nod my head.

"That's what his mother told me, and I believed her. But it turns out she lied, and he wants me as his mate,"

Sister Mary Danvers's feature softens.

"I'm glad to hear it. But are you sure the king will be okay with this?"

I shrug my shoulders.

"It shouldn't be a problem. I will speak with him tonight,”

The sister nods.

"Do you ladies want to stay and help us prepare lunch for the kids?"

"We'd love to," Katie and I say simultaneously.

Sister Mary Danvers smiles.

"Great, let us get it ready,”

"May I sit with you?" One of the little boys asks me.

"Of course, you may," I tell him and pat the chair next to mine.

He climbs up onto the chair and places his napkin on his lap before taking a bite of his cheeseburger.

When he stops chewing, he turns back to me.

"My name is Axel. What's yours?"

I smile at him

"Brinley,"

He nods.

"Nice to meet you, Brinley,"

"You, too," I tell him.

Katie and I stayed with the kids playing and helping out with bath and bedtime. Axel stayed by my side the whole time. He is so polite and a little gentleman.

He told me he had been with the sisters for as long as he could remember, and when I asked Mary Danvers about him, she also said to me that his parents didn't want him and gave him up at six months old.

I feel bad for all these kids, but more so for Axel, having been there the longest.

I sent Kelsy a text.

Ryder wants more kids, but Kelsy refuses to have anymore, so that I will tell her about Axel. She said pregnancy wasn't her thing. But, honestly, I don’t blame her.

"Where do you ladies want this Carnival to be?" Kyle asks.

We are in the dining room having Dinner, and Katie told Xander about the fundraiser.

"In town," Katie tells them.

"I think it's a great idea,” Xander tells Kyle.

"You do?" Kyle asks him.

Xander nods.

"It's a good cause to get some kids to new homes. Win, win," Xander tells him.

Kyle sighs.

"Itis a good idea,”

Xander nods.

"It's an excellent idea. But, Brinley, I have a condition before I fully agree to this," Xander says, moving his attention to me.

"What's the condition?"

Xander narrows his eyes.

"You can't get over-stressed. Let Katie take care of most of the work, for Dominic's sake,”

I sigh.

Xander's right.

I don't want to put more stress on Dominic's fragile heart; maybe letting Katie take the lead is best. I nod my head.

"l won't. Katie will be the lead on this, and it was her idea,"

Katie squeals.

"Thanks, Brinley. I have so many things to do, and we need to get to work tomorrow," She tells me. "We need to write up a list and get everything booked, then make flyers and find some carnival food stands, the whole nine yards,” She says, taking a breath.

"Breathe, Katie," Kyle grins.

She grins back at him and chuckles.

"I know. I am excited to be needed, and I need a break from Annabella. I love her, but I need me time," Katie tells Kyle, who nods.

"Katie, you know I'm always here if you need a few hours for yourself. I'll watch Anna,”

"I appreciate that,"

"Anytime,"

My phone starts ringing, so I take it from my back pocket.

Kelsy.

"I have to take this," I say, getting up from my chair and walking out of the dining room. "What's so important that I needed to call you ASAP?"

"Took you long enough to call,” I tell her.

"Rose was in a mood. It's not easy to call when your baby only wants to cry,” She says, sounding annoyed.

"Do you want more kids?" I exclaim.

Kelsy laughs but then goes silent.

"Kelsy?" I say after moments.

"You know I don't want any more kids. Your beginning to sound like Ryder," She tells me. "Brinley, there you are,” Julia says, running up behind me.

"Hold on, Kelsy," I say, pulling the phone from my ear.

"I'm sorry I didn't realize you were on the phone,” Julia apologizes.

"It's okay. What's up?”

Julia smiles.

"Bane is asleep upstairs in my room. I have a date with my mate Jerry. Could you check on him from time to time, please?”

I nod my head.

"Of course. If your date runs late, send me a text, and I'll move him to my room,”

She nods.

"Thanks, Brinley. I thought about what you said, and I figured I might as well give my mate a chance.” She grins.

"That's good news."

"Well, I won't keep you. Thanks again," She says, waving as she exits the palace.

I bring the phone back to my ear.

"I'm back,"

"So, what was that about?" Kelsy asks.

I explained everything, Kelsy.

"Good for her,”

I nod.

"Yes."

"So, are you going to tell me what you wanted?"

Oh yeah, pregnancy brain sucks sometimes.

"If you don't want to have another baby, what about adopting one?"

Kelsy hums.

"I never thought about it. So what made you ask?" She said.

I heaved a sigh.

I told Kelsy about Axel and how long he's been there.

"The poor thing,"

I shake my head.

"Kelsy, when I met him, I knew he was meant for you and Ryder,"

She sighs.

"I don't want Ryder to know about this. I'll bring Rose and Delores up in a few days. I want to meet Axel. I think this would be an excellent gift for Ryder's birthday next weekend,” She tells me.

I grinned.

"I'll see you in a few days," I tell her, and she hangs up the phone.

"Everything okay with the call?” Xander asked when I sat back down in my chair.

I nod my head and smile.

"Everything was fine,"

He frowns.

"Little mate. Must we go through this lying thing again? You know the punishment is way worse," Xanders smirks.

The tone in Xander's voice alone was enough to ignite a fire within me.

"Maybe I wanna play," I tell him.

Kyle chokes on his swallow of wine. Katie is just grinning and nodding her head at me

Xander raises his brow.

"Are you sure about that?"

I nod my head.

Of course, I was sure the pool between my legs would agree.

Xander stares intensely, and I rub my thighs together to keep from spilling on the chair.

I want Xander to punish me and pound my pussy mercifully.

Xander stands from his chair, and in one swift move, he lifts me into his arms and carries me out of the room.

The pad of Xander's thumb slips into my shorts and rubs over my silky underwear.

He growls.

"Fuck," He mutters.

"You're soaked," He breathes into my ear. His hot breath sends shivers down my spine.

A moan slips past my lips as Xander's fingers slide through the side of my underwear. His fingers rubbed over my swollen nub.

"Xander," I tried to say, but his name came out as a breathless moan.

"Fuck," He murmurs.

Xander opens the door to my room and closes it with his left foot. He walks me to the bed and lays me down.

He strips off his shirt.

"Arms above your head," He orders.

I lift my arms, and Xander pulls off my shorts and panties.

His rough, callused hands rub up against my thighs.

"You smell so fucking good,” He grunts.

"Xander, please,”

He smirks.

"Good things come to those who wait,”

I let my head fall back against the bed.

"I'll be right, be right,” He says, leaving the room.

Ugh, he will be the death of me.

I cannot believe he left me here half naked with legs spread.

The door opens, and Xander strolls in with a glass of ice.

"Close your eyes,"

My heart rate accelerates, and my chest rises and falls in an out-of-control rhythm.

"Do as I said, little mate,"

I was nervous would be an understatement, but I did as Xander told me and closed my eyes. "Good girl,"

Xander takes off my shirt, tossing it to the floor, and he un claps my bra, tossing it to the floor. "Did I say for you to open your eye?" He asks, arching his brow.

I shake my head.

“No,”

"Close your eyes. Don't open them,” He pauses, "Do you understand?"

"yes," breathe.

"Open your mouth,”

I part my lips a little, and Xander places a piece of ice into my mouth.

I suck on the cube as it begins to melt. Xander takes another cube and rubs it from the bottom of my earlobe to my neck, then further down. He rubs it over the hard buds of my nipples, to my navel. Somehow this made me a whole lot wetter.

Xander's tongue swipes over my clit, and my legs part on their own accord.

I gasp, fisting the sheets in my hands as Xander rubs the ice over my wet folds.

"Xander," I cry out.

"Spread your legs further,”

My legs were trembling, and when I didn't do as he told me, he did it himself.

Xander grabs another ice cube and swirls it in circles over my sensitive bits. It felt weird? But good? Oh, goddess, what's happing to me?

Xander pushed the cube into my pussy, and it felt nothing like I'd ever experienced before. Instead, it was a mix of cold and good mixed with something totally new.

A piercing cry filled the room when I realized it was mine.
