A Long And Dreary Autumn {Complete}

2. Keelan

(Pic of Kabir, Val's animal. Since it's extinct, I don't know if it has any type of fur markings so I went with an unmarked fur.)

        I didn't know what happened after the Alpha King spoke my name, I remember junior overpowering me. The next thing I knew I was on the King's lap, rubbing myself all over him. Appalled by my own scandalous behaviour, I scrambled off his lap. Hoping to retain some of my nearly none existing dignity. "What just happened?" The words rumbled from my mouth and for a split second I thought I had seen the King looking uncomfortable, but that must have been my imagination. I refuse to think anything otherwise; I am not going to think about why the King would be uncomfortable with me asking that question.

        In the back of my mind I could feel junior growling and hissing at me, she wasn't too happy with me leaping of the King's lap as if I sat on hot coals. The King decided to ignore my question and ask one of his own; "Why did you make a bet with Ryan Rigby?" He stared at me of his steeped fingers, his look was all predatory. "I-I- made the bet so he would leave me alone! He has been sexual harassing me ever since he laid eyes on me! It doesn't matter how many times I have told him no and that I have a mate among the Pack."

        The King shifted in his seat, "Is that so? And who might that be?" I licked my lips, suddenly unsure how to react. "You're not going to tell me?" Although he formed it as a question, the tone demanded an answer. "Junior keeps mumbling about mate whenever I think or talk about the Pack." I mumble looking at my nervously twitching fingers. "Junior never gave you a name?" I shook my head "Junior doesn't know names, but she recognises the scent. She goes insane whenever she smells it."

        "Which scent does she go insane over?" I couldn't lift my eyes to look up at him, his gaze was too heavy. "I don't know for sure," I fumble, knowing fully well to whom that scent belongs. "Al I know for sure is that whoever it is, is male." I feel the King get up and stalk over. Unable to control my limbs or other bodily functions, my nostrils flare at his scent and a whimper leaves my lips. Two fingers lift my head to meet his captivating gaze. "It's my scent." He doesn't let any room for doubt, he states it, growling. I can't do anything but nod as I get light headed by his heady and intoxicating scent.

        "Then please explain to me why you never told me about him harassing you? Or tell anybody else from the team that supports you about his unwanted behavior?" He looks at me in question as I rack my brain for a suitable answer. The thumb distracts me as it slowly traces my bottom lip, making me part me lips and lick the thumb, surprising the King. I can't get his diluted and blown wide pupils put of my mind. My body shivers at the sexual tension and the want in those beautiful orbs.

        I pushed myself on the balls of my feet, so I am at the same height. Grabbing onto his bulging biceps as he removes his supportive fingers, I lean forward. Fully intending on kissing the lips that have been haunting my mind ever since I knew who's scent it was Junior went nuts over. Our lips were a hairs breath away from each other when someone came barging into the room, startling me out of what I was about to do. Neither of us acknowledges the other person as the King gripped me as I tried to sneak away. "You not leaving after attempting something that." He growled as he crashed our lips together.

        Shaking, I reached up and locked my arms around the King's neck to keep me standing under the onslaught of emotions running through me. With his chest grumbling he locked me in an iron grip, pressing me closer to his massive chest with me as a whimpering mess. A throat cleared, making the King release my lips unwillingly and turned in the direction of the sound. "Please be a dear and introduce me to your mate Val." A woman's voice sounded distantly as I was still in a daze of having been kissed that passionately. Not even one of my human girlfriends kissed me that fiercely. I didn't struggle as the King lifted me, my legs wrapped around his waist as he made his way over to the woman grumbling under his breath.
