The Alpha King’s Virgin by Charmeleon (Raine & Amari)

Chapter 35

It was not easy for me to disregard or disobey an order. From anyone, let alone the king. It was part of written into my DNA to be submissive – a good little Omega. But I was the queen now.

Amaris said it himself, “You don’t take orders from anyone, Raine. You are the queen.”

y nature.

So I decided to ignore his order to stay away from the captive Luna. According to Rhona, the Luna was heavily

pregnant. She was about to deliver any day now and she was in a state, crying for her mate. It wasn’t difficult to imagine the pain she was experiencing, being in a less than friendly environment with her Alpha locked up in the keep.

I waited until Amaris left to go about his business. What it was exactly, I didn’t know and rather didn’t ask. Betal Ross hovered about, my constant guard dog. I was not allowed to leave our wing, but I had other plans.

“Rhona, I need you to distract Beta Ross. I want to go to the Luna of the Blood Fang pack.”

“Milady! The king gave orders…”

“And I am giving you this order. I have to go to her.” I stood my ground, hands on my hips. There was no way was to be stopped.

Rhona smirked and bowed her head slightly. “As you wish, your Majesty.”

I stood by the door, peeking out as Rhona went towards Beta Ross. He was looking especially bored, scrolling through his phone and didn’t even acknowledge her presence. Earlier I had told him I didn’t need his instruction today as I was still busy reading the book, he gave me.

“Beta Ross, I’m so sorry to disturb you, but I need your help.” Rhona asked in a helpless little-girl-lost voice. I could barely contain my laughter. She had the helpless she-wolf down to a T, batting her long lashes at him and wringing her hands. Who could resist?

“What is it now, Omega?” Beta Ross sighed and put his phone back in his pocket.

“Her Majesty requested me to make her a pie and I’m afraid I cannot reach the dishes I need. And seeing as you are so tall, Beta Ross, could you do me this favor?” She looked up at him with wide, innocent eyes.

He grunted, “Are there no ladders in this place?”

“It will only take a minute, Beta Ross.”

As soon as he followed her down the hallway, I sprinted out the bedroom in the opposite direction.

It wasn’t difficult to locate the Luna, I just followed the sounds of helpless crying and pleading. There were two guards at her door which barred my way.

“Move!” I said in the sternest voice I could muster. “Unlock this door and let me in.” They would probably use the- mind link to inform Amaris, but I had to take my chances.

“Your Majesty, the king…” one guard tried to stop me, but I held up my hand to silence him.

“Guard, do not test me!” Something I learned from Amaris. “Open this door immediately.”

He had no choice but to obey.

As the door closed, I saw a heavily pregnant blonde girl, not much older than myself, huddled in a corner. She clutched her belly, groaning, sweat dripping from her contorted brow.

“Are you in labor?” I approached her carefully.

Green eyes flooded with tears looked up at me. “Who…who are you?” She ground her teeth together, biting back

a scream.

“I am Queen Raine, King Amaris’ mate.” I held my hand out to her. “Let me help you.”

The hand that gripped mine was small but strong. I helped her to the bed.

“I need my mate!” She screamed when another contraction gripped her, forcing her to double over. She pressed my hand so hard I felt the bones cracking. “Please, I’m begging you!”

‘Rhona, call the others. Bring towels and boiled water. Get Healer Gwyneth.’ I yelled out orders into the link.

The door burst open, and I turned my face to look into the furious scowl of my mate.

“She needs her mate, Amaris.” I said before he could open his mouth to yell at me. “Please.”

I held the screaming girl’s hand despite the pain I felt. “Shh… It’s going to be alright. He’ll be here. Just hold on.” I smiled into her painfilled face. “Everything will be fine.” I looked back at Amaris who had closed his eyes, linking someone.

“I ordered him to be brought up.” Amaris spoke up, but the cold stare he gave me, and the way the muscles in his jaw ticked, I knew I was in deep trouble.

“Thank you, my lord.” I gave a tremulous smile.

‘He will surely punish us, Raine. You shouldn’t have done this.’ Tasha wailed in my head.

‘And leave this girl to suffer or die and her pup with her?’ I would rather take his punishment than let that happen.

The blonde Luna gripped my hands in both of her and smiled at me through her pain. “Thank you, your Majesty. I will never forget your kindness.”

“Daciana!” The Alpha was shoved into the bedroom, his hands shackled with silver cuffs behind his back. Closely following him, Healer Gwyneth and my maids entered the room.

I drew back from the Luna to give them space.

“Can you at least free his hands?” I asked a stone-faced Amaris.

“Release him!” he gave the order. “Guard the door. No one is to enter. If my orders are disobeyed again, I will have your heads.” His grip on my arm had me gasping as he dragged me out of the room and stomped down the hallway back to our wing. My feet struggled to keep up with his long strides and I stumbled.

Wordlessly he lifted me over his shoulder. We passed Beta Ross on the way. He stopped in front of him with me hanging over his shoulder.

“One task, Ross. One.” He shoved Ross against the wall. Something came crashing down from the wall behind him. “I gave you one task to look after Raine and keep her safe.”

“I’m sorry, your Majesty. I thought I was to instruct her Majesty, not keep her prisoner.” Beta Ross retorted and I cringed inwardly.

“If that is what it takes, Ross.” He brushed past him, to our suite and went to the office where he put me down and closed the door.

“Quiet!” His voice lashed over me, and I couldn’t help but cower from the power of it. “You disobeyed me, Raine and overruled my orders in front of my guards. I will not tolerate such behavior, not even from you.”

I would rather take lashings than see the look of disappointment and anger on his face.

“I’m sorry, Amaris. But…” Tears stung my eyes and I tried to force them back, but they just kept on rolling down my cheeks.

He closed the short distance between us and snarled at me, gripping my upper arms, shaking me. “You do not get to cry! Do not try and soften me with tears. If there is one thing I hate more than disobedience it is manipulation!”

I had no intention of manipulating him. “No, I wasn’t…. Please, listen.” I said between gulping down so bs. “She needed help, Amaris: I heard her crying and pleading for help.”

Amaris released me and I st ggered back to land onto the chair next to the bookcase. He paced about the room, pinching the bridge of his nose between his fingers. When he stopped, he slapped his hand down onto the desk. I jumped in my seat.

“What the hell am I going to do with you? She could have ripped your insides out! You have no idea what their agenda is. Alpha Axel is being investigated for crimes against the crown. He is trying to launch a revolt against me. And what better way to get to me than through you, Raine.”

“Well, then you shouldn’t have brought her here!” I screamed at him. “I couldn’t stand by and watch her suffer!! am not like you!” Fueled by fury, I never knew I possessed I jumped up to face him. Our eyes clashed like swords, but I wasn’t about to back down. My chin jutted out defiantly and my hands balled into tight fists at my sides I kept my eyes locked on his dark, brooding eyes.

The next moment he had me pinned against the desk, one hand in my hair and the other on my waist. His mouth came down on mine, hard, dominant, forcing my lips to part, our teeth clashing. He nipped my lower lip, demanding access to my mouth and his tongue slid in.

The vision I had of him f u cking me against his desk came flooding back and I melted into his embrace. He wasn’t gentle. He turned me around roughly and bent me over the desk, his powerful legs holding my thighs apart. I heard him fumbling with his belt, felt his pants slide down his legs.

“Are you well enough, Raine? Because I can stop.” He breathed into my ear as his hands pushed my dress up to
