Alpha King Greyson

Merkorpa

I drummed my fingers on the desk and deeply sighed, gazing out my bedroom window to the forest beyond. Today was a beautiful day but I was bored. I didn't feel like going out but I didn't want to be inside. A few weeks ago Grey had told me that our honeymoon was going to be amazing and I didn't have any doubt, but he had to get everything taken care of before we left. Alek would be in charge but other than that I didn't know what else he was arranging.

My enhanced hearing warned me that someone was approaching and I sniffed, recognizing the scent. He approached me from behind and embraced me, nuzzling my neck. I smiled and leaned into him, enjoying his comforting smell.

"Seems you are quite bored up here. What if I told you I had something to alleviate that?" My eyebrows raised and I looked up at him questioning. "Are you ready for our honeymoon to officially start?" My stomach leapt with joy.

"Really?!" I squealed and turned around to embrace him. I was so excited. He held me tight, nibbling my neck again. 

"Right now," he whispered. "Let's go." I squeaked as he swept me up in his arms and began carrying me downstairs. Family and servants waited below, welcoming us with big smiles plastered all over their faces. At the bottom of the stairs he placed me down carefully and we walked hand in hand outside. A carriage waited for us outside packed with trunks, no doubt most of my items. Greyson opened the door for me and we squeezed inside. It was a bit small for him as he was just a large individual but I on the other hand was comfortable. As we settled in the coachman hurrahed at the horses and the carriage lurched forwards. I could tell it was going to be a long week with me spilling my guts the whole way. Grey sensed my anxiety and pulled me close. 

"Just a week, princess and we'll be there." I groaned. A whole week?! I swore silently and rested my head on his shoulder. Hours blurred to days as I slept, rolling in every odd position I could to get comfortable. I felt a nudge and groaned, opening my eyes. It was bright and I smelled salt in the air. The door opened and I slowly crawled out to see sand at my feet. A shadow covered us that loomed over a wide area. I glanced up and was met with a gorgeous sand-white Castle. 

"Beautiful, isn't it? Merkorpa is known for its vast wealth and beauty. I've arranged for us to stay with the royal family. You can thank Alois for that." Servants began to unload our belongings and a deep voice echoed towards us. A tall, broad shouldered man with light blonde hair and tanned skin waved to us. Grey smiled and clasped the man's hand, embracing him. 

"Alpha Greyson, now is it? Good to see you brother, it's been awhile."

"Indeed it has. I'd like you to meet my mate, Faelyn." I smiled and curtsied. He bowed and introduced himself, 

"I am Kaikane but you may call me Kai. I am the prince of Merkorpa." I blushed at the informality and nodded. He was very handsome, a voice echoed in my head. I chided it, though we thought the same. Prince Kai bid us farewell, promising to dine with us soon. Soon we were ushered into the enormous castle upstairs to our room which was stunning. There was a large balcony that overlooked the ocean and the rest of the room was fully furnished and stocked with all of our things and anything else that we possibly needed. I immediately jumped into the huge white bed and sighed. 

"This is so amazing! I'm so excited to be here I've never seen the ocean."

Greyson laid next to me. "Anything you want babe. I want you to be the happiest princess in the world." I blushed and put my head on his chest, listening to his heart. We must have fallen asleep for a long time because when I woke the room was dark and Grey was sprawled out next to me. A cramp twisted deep inside me and I doubled over in pain. I was sweaty and hot. My dreams were normal, not scary by any means. Fuck how long ago was it? No...a month had gone by already? I clenched my teeth and made my way to the bathroom. I sat on the cold tile in front of the shower. There was a constant rainfall of water and I crawled into the droplets. I didn't want it to be time. I wanted to enjoy exploring and spending quality time with my mate, not fucking mindlessly. If only I could delay the heat just a while longer. After cooling off in the shower I stripped off my wet clothes and fumbled in the dark finding a nightgown. I crawled back in bed trying not to wake Grey. I clutched a pillow and tried to sleep unsuccessfully. Morning came and Greyson started to stir. I put on a fake smile for him, trying to make it seem like I was fine. His eyes slowly blinked open and he looked for me.
