Mated to the Alpha Queen (Book 12 of the Regal Eclipse Pack Series)

Chapter 32

Kyra felt like an idiot. She had completely missed the fact that Cole was nervous until Cade had told her. She felt kind of crappy for asking him why Cole wouldn't want oral sex, but Cade had reminded her that Cole didn't feel the bond, she was his Alpha, and he was nervous.

I'm sure you can talk him into it at some point, though. You're good at them, Cade had told her.

Please don't tell him that. Kyra was sure her face had turned bright red.

I'm not stupid. And now I'm going to have to find someone else to give good blow jobs.

Preferably your mate.

Preferably.

She could tell Cole was tense now as they took the elevator down to the ground floor. Now that she knew it, she couldn't unsee it. She supposed she couldn't blame him for being nervous, but she wanted to reassure him that everything was going to be fine.

He was closed off now though, his gorgeous green eyes were set on watching the floors, his arms crossed over his chest. Kyra wanted to reach out and touch him but she wasn't sure if he'd welcome it or not.

The elevator doors opened and she stepped off, then waited for him. She headed down the hall and stopped outside of an empty gaming room, pushing the door open, and walking inside.

Cole followed her in and looked around, then turned back to her.

"This is one of our gaming rooms," she told him. "Kinda like yours."

"Are you giving me a tour?" he asked.

"Not really, but I know you're tense." She walked up to him and held out her hand.

Cole looked at it for a moment, then took it in his own. "I'm rather amazed that this calms me."

She smiled, glad she was able to offer him something.

Cole took a deep breath. "Okay, let's go."

Kyra walked back out of the room and down the hall to the offices. She stopped and turned back to him. "Those rooms right there are meeting rooms." She pointed to a few rooms across from where she was standing. "This is where the pack offices are."

Kyra opened the door and headed down the hall to where Nick's office was. "This is Nick's office." She knocked on the door, then opened it up and walked inside.

"Kyra! We heard you had to take over Macon Pack," Nick said by way of greeting. His gaze moved over to Cole. "Hi."

***

Cole followed Kyra inside of the office slowly, trying to remain calm. He'd been calmer when he'd been kneeling in the dirt waiting for his death a few days ago than he was now.

A young man with brown hair was sitting at the desk in front of a laptop, and a woman was standing off across the room, studying a whiteboard with a bunch of things written on it. From the back she almost resembled Kyra.

The man greeted Kyra before his gaze settled on Cole. "Hi."

"This is Cole. He's from Macon Pack. He was the Gamma," Kyra said. "He's also my mate."

The man continued to stare at him, while the woman suddenly turned to look at him, both of them studying him curiously.

Cole's gaze darted between the two of them. The woman didn't look any older than the man and she stepped forward and stopped next to the man.

"Cole, this is my grandmother and grandfather, Nick and Noelle," Kyra introduced.

Cole's eyes widened as he realized who they were, and immediately bowed his head. "Alpha."
