Fate: The Alpha King and His Unexpected Mate

Chapter Three

Lexi

Once my dad dismissed me and Jess, we went up to my room. We would be leaving tomorrow afternoon to go to the Blue Moon pack. Thankfully, Jess paid for express delivery on our dresses so they would be here tomorrow morning. We talked for a while and she helped me pack. We didn't exactly know what would be happening while we were there, so she pulled a little of everything out of my closet. You would think we were staying for a week with the amount of clothes she pulled out. Shorts, jeans, sweats, leggings, t-shirts, crop tops, tank tops. Literally, I would be able to dress for any occasion.

Once she deemed I had enough outfits, she left to go pack for herself. I threw my suitcase by my door. All I had left to do was pack my toiletries, which I would do tomorrow before we left. I changed into some briefs and a sports bra before climbing into bed. I was mindlessly scrolling through my phone when I heard a light tap on my door. I looked up just as Liam snuck in. I smiled up at him as I made room for him.

I sat my phone on the bedside table and cuddled into his chest. We never told anyone about these late nights together. I'm sure Jess knew, as she could probably smell our scents on each other. I put my arm over his waist and buried my face into his shoulder. I took a deep breath, inhaling his scent. Cinnamon and apples. It made me think of fall, which was my favorite season. He ran his fingers up and down my arms, and I couldn't help but to relax under his touch.

Liam and I had a deal. We never had sex. He said he never wanted to ruin something that should be between mates. We did, however, have some fun in other ways. Being wolves, we had pretty high sex drives. Since we were from ranking families, that drive was even higher for us. I slowly ran my hands over his bare chest, thinking about my birthday. Did I want to find my mate? I mean, I have had boyfriends before. Though, I never felt like they were with me for me, just my Alpha title. Liam and I have never actually had a relationship, but this was simple. It felt natural. Could it be possible that we would end up as mates? Jess would love for us to actually be related. Hmmm.

"What are you thinking about, Lex?"

I looked up and saw Liam's gorgeous blue eyes staring back at me. The were easy to get lost in. I lifted myself up on my elbow so I could really look at him.

"Just thinking about this weekend. How this," I pointed between the two of us, "might have to end."

Before I had time to think, Liam hooked his arm around my waist and swiftly moved me, so I was straddling him. He ran his hands over my hips, then let them rest on my ass. I could feel him underneath me and couldn't help the shiver that ran down my spine.

"We will handle it when that time comes. That's why we have kept this simple. I know it would be easier if we were mates, but who knows what the Moon Goddess has in-store for us. But until then," he sat up and wrapped his arms around my waist, "let's not think about it."

His mouth went to my neck and a moan slipped from between my lips. I tilted my head to the side, granting him better access to my neck. I felt him twitch below me and I couldn't help but move my burning core against him. I heard him groan and before I could register what was happening, I was on my back and his lips found mine. I snaked my arms around his neck as I felt one of his hands slip under my sports bra. He slowly kneaded my breast and pinched my already hard nipple.
