The Royal Mask

Chapter 46

{  O P H E L I A  }

I am so used to waking up alone since the past few days that when I feel a hard chest pressed against my back and I can feel his rock hard length behind me. My wolf barks in my mind urging me to wake up and enjoy the time with our mate.

I narrow my eyes when I find his hand on my breast. As though as he knows what I'm thinking he pinches my nipple between his thumb and fingers and a shiver dances along my skin, eliciting a deep, husky chuckle from him. I turn my back to see his eyes closed but a smirk playing on his lips.

"Good morning your highness!" I purr and he opens his eyes.

"Good mor...Oh fuck!", he curses out loud when I touch his hard member below the sheets. Though the fabric of his boxers are forming a barrier but I can still feel how big he is! I stroke him lightly and he groans breathing sharply.

"You're killing me, princess!"

I feel hot just by listening to his rough voice. When I'm about to pull down the waistband of his boxers he turns me around, my back on the mattress. He dips his head in the crook of my neck inhaling my scent before he starts kissing my soft spot below my ears while his one hand explores my skin from shoulders to waist.

I look at his lusty grey eyes which peek out from his messy dark hair which falls on his forehead and which glows a rich brown under the sunlight making him look godly gorgeous.

How can someone look so breathtakingly handsome just after waking up?

I freeze when I hear a knock on the door.

"Ignore it...they will stop and leave us alone." He murmurs.

The knocking really stops like he said but I squeal when the door opens revealing a shocked Gloria. She looks as if she has seen a ghost and quickly covers her eyes with both her palms.

I push off Nate with my wolf strength which definitely catches him by surprise as he falls off the bed with a groan and I cover myself hiding under the blanket.

"I'm so sorry sorry, please forgive me Prince Nathaniel..."

Maybe she didn't see me!

"And luna Ophelia. I'm so sorry. I shouldn't have..."

"It's alright Gloria...why have you come?" He asks as I listen to the closet door opening. He must be wearing his pants.

"Your highness, the breakfast is being served in the grand dining room since many guests will be joining us. After the breakfast I would like to show Luna Opehlia the dresses that you've ordered for the ball."

I totally forgot about the dresses infact even the alphas who are staying in the guest rooms. I didn't think about them nor the dresses since the attack.

"Fine but I want the breakfast to be served here." He says.

"I don't want unmated wolves looking at my mate..." He continues and I snort loud enough from under the blankets to feel his eyes on me and a soft chuckle coming from the door. This man...he has a heart of a child and not a lycan.

"Your highness, the alphas have been very eager to meet you and I'm sure they may like to speak with you about the attack." Gloria says weakly.

"We will join them for breakfast..." I say peeking out.

"Ophelia..."

"Nate...we will join everyone..." I say back as we have an intense stare down for a minute.

"Very well...we will be there soon." He sighs and Gloria chuckles before closing the door.

After many kisses and arguements on whether we should take shower together or not but of course we end up showering separately. We walk to the dining room where already the guests are seated and having breakfast. All heads snap at our direction except alpha king who is sitting at the head of the table sipping his tea, the chatters coming to a spoon drop silence.
