Chapter 52
Dylan Pov
"Congratulations King” Marc the Alpha of Bloodmoon pack said and I nodded
“We are finally having our Queen after a long period of time,” he said and the other Alphas nodded in agreement.
“It looks like we will never get our turn to greet our new Queen” Alex the Alpha of Dark Wolves pack said looking behind me and we looked following his gaze to see Aderyn circled by the Lunas of the different pack.
She kept on looking here and there as the Lunas bombarded her with their questions. She was having trouble answering everyone's answer.
I sipped the wine from my glass and smirked at her when she looked towards me.
“What are you doing there? Come here and save me” she yelled at me through mind link.
"Why? I thought you were brave and you could handle almost everything in this world. So..?" I teased her and chuckled when she glared at me.
“Dylan” she warned.
“It looks like our King is having a personal conversation with our Queen” Marc said making the others laugh.
“No it's not like that,” Alex said and we turned towards him.
“He is looking at her probably thinking how to get her alone. I mean cmon we all know what happens when somebody is introduced to the pack. But here it's totally different, it's our King and the Queen. So..” he said and everyone looked at me.
“He is right. It's finally the time to mate” Black said hoping here and there wiggling his tail in my mind
“Indeed!” I said and sipped my wine glancing at Aderyn’s way.
She looked at me still answering the Lunas question and raised her eyebrow at me questionably for why I was looking at her.
I smirked at her to which she narrowed her eyes at me.
"What's with your smirk?” she asked.
“You will know,” I said and turned around towards the Alphas.
“Excuse me,” I said and they all nodded.
I walked back towards the house and mind linked Blake.
"What's going on?” I asked.
"Yes! Everything is under check here” he said. He was out on patrolling again.
"Good. Time to swap the guards and the Betas. The Betas need some rest now. Ask them to return back to the house. They can meet their Queen at night. Replace the warriors in their place and Cole will be leaving for your place in some minutes, you can retreat back too” I said.
"As you say, King,” he said and I frowned.
"You are calling me King a lot lately,” I said and heard him chuckling.
“That's because you gave the most desirable gift to the kingdom. The Queen” he said and I smiled at it.
“It's all thanks to you two actually. If it weren't for you and Cole then I probably would have lost Aderyn from the beginning. I was fool back then” I said and heard his laughter.
"What's so funny?” I asked.
“Nothing! It's just really rare to hear you agreeing on your faults” he said and though I wanted to smack his head I found myself chuckling.
“I'm on my way back to the house,” he said and I hummed in response before we cut the link. "Aderyn” I called and instantly she replied.
"Yeah? Where are you?” She asked to which I chuckled.
"Oh, so you did notice my absence. Missing me Aderyn?” I asked and heard her huffing at me. “Shut up Dylan. Where are you?” She asked.
“l am inside in our room. Come here” I told her.
"What are you doing there?” she asked.
“I want to show you something. Come here” I said and rubbed the back of my neck.
"What do you want to show?" she asked and I pursed my lips.
“It's personal. You come here and I will show you" I told her.
"Okay. I am coming” she said.
“Finally!” I said and got up from the bed where I was sitting.
I looked at myself in the mirror and adjusted my jacket properly. I styled my hair once again even though it was perfectly fine.
All of a sudden I felt nervous.
"What's wrong with you Dylan? Why are you behaving like this?” I muttered to myself as I felt my heart beat raising when I smelt her fragrance in the air.
“She is near,” Black said wiggling his tail.
“l know!" I said.
“She is close,” Black said and I closed my eyes sniffing her heavenly fragrance.
“She is closer,” Black said and I groaned at Black.
“Shut up Black. You are not helping” I said and I could imagine the wolfish grin on his face.
"Here she is,” he said and the door of my room opened revealing my beautiful mate obviously oblivious to what was going on in my mind.
“Dylan,” she said.
Oh! How perfectly my name rolls out of her tongue. My name seems even more perfect when she says it.
“Dylan?” she called furrowing her eyebrows when I stayed rooted to my position admiring her beautiful face and figure.
"Hey what's wrong?” she asked all of a sudden looking concerned.
Finally, I have someone who would worry for me. It's been so long to feel that I am finally needed. Needed, not only for fulfilling my duties but also for someone who would long to see me whenever I am late, worrying for my good being.
Finally, I am having someone who would only care about me.
“Finally,” I said and she raised her eyebrows not understanding.
"What is it that you wanted to show?” She asked as she took a step closer towards me.
"He wants to show you his di*k” Black interfered.
Aderyn's eyes widened hearing him.
“The hell Black. Thank You very much for ruining the moment. You Idiot!" I said irritated and he lowered his ears tilting his head not understanding.
"What? Why are you mad at me? I stated the obvious” he argued and I scoffed at his foolishness. “Uh! I forgot something. I am coming in a second” Aderyn said and turned around wanting to leave the room.
"She heard you" I snapped at Black.
“Oh!” was his reply.
Aderyn turned the knob to walk out but in a flash, I was right behind her closing the door back my hand on her.
"Where are you going?” I whispered into her ear as I leaned over her from her back and wrapped my other hand around her waist pulling her closer.
“D-Dylan” she whispered which made me chuckle.
"Are you scared?” I asked placing a kiss on her cheek.
I felt her tightening her grip on the knob. I took hold of her hand and pulled her hand from the knob.
“Dylan. Are you in control?” she asked and I could hear her heart beat beating vigorously. “Physically yes but not in sense” I whispered huskily into her ear.
"Dyl-" she said but I cut her off.
“No! Don't say anything” I said and in one motion lifted her up in the air and scooted her up into my arms.
She clutched onto my collar and I walked towards the bed.
"You make crazy,” I said as I placed her softly on the bed.
She clutched on the sheets visibly scared.
I took hold of her hand and intertwined our finger before getting on top of her and lowering myself down until my lips brushed her soft ones.
I closed my eyes and felt the sparks that flew through my body only because of that mere touch. I kissed her softly at first and then passionately. Soon, she was responding to my kisses and I heard soft moaning which encouraged me even more.
I trailed down hungrily towards her neck sucking and biting her skin.
As I descended down her skin we both jerked up in shock when we heard people screaming from outside.
"What's going on?” Aderyn said and I got up from her.
"What's going on?" I asked Blake through the mind link.
“Blake?” I called but got no reply.
"Cole?" I asked and got no reply.
"Stay here,” I told Aderyn and walked towards the door.
“Dylan wait! I am coming with you” she said running after me.
“No! Stay here” I said but she got hold of my hand stopping me.
"What's going on Dylan? I am coming with you” she said adamantly.
"Aderyn,” I said and held her by her arms.
"You need to stay here okay? I will just go and see what's happening out there. But I need you safe. Please remain here until I come back for you" I told her and before she could say anything, I lowered myself down and pecked her lips and then on her forehead.
“Stay here!” I said and though I didn’t want to leave her, I had to.
“It's not good. I smell blood" Black said and he stood up from his position alarmed ready to change if needed.
I ran out of the house and was shocked as well devastated to see the scenario in front of me. Some people were lying on the ground senseless while some were turned into their wolf forms Some looked injured and the human mates were crying seating next to their mate's bloodied form “What's going on?” I muttered.
"King! King!" I heard Blake mind linking me.
“Blake?” I answered.
“King” he sobbed in the mind link and it worried me even more.
“It's Cole. Cole is not opening his eyes” he sobbed and was just going to ask what has happened, I sensed Aderyn behind me.
“Dylan!” She said as she looked at the people before her.
"Aderyn!” I called and she took a step towards me.
One moment she was before me and the other moment she was nowhere in sight.
I stood there shocked and in confusion thinking what just happened. But when it registered what just happened the ground beneath me rocked and trembled for I was angry. Mad, that my mate was taken away from me before my own eyes, within my territory.
“Aderyn” I screamed her name with my power radiating off my body like a tsunami hitting the place causing destruction.
