Fate: The Alpha King and His Unexpected Mate

Chapter Twenty-Nine

Lexi

I watched as Marc slowly smiled and held his arms open for me. I rolled my eyes as I walked into them. I heard Liam walk into the closet, so I relaxed into Marc's embrace. I inhaled his scent which was now mixed with the woods and sweat. Thankfully, the blueberry outpowered the other smells.

Marc tightened his grip and kissed my forehead as Liam made his way to us. He was wearing a pair of athletic shorts and held one of his shirts out for me. As I was putting it on, I felt someone slap my ass. Once I had the shirt over my head, I heard Marc chuckle as he walked to the bathroom. Damn Alpha King. I rolled my eyes and walked to the bed.

I snuggled into the middle of the bed and waited for my mates to join me. I was way more tired than I thought, as I struggled to keep my eyes open. I could feel the bed dip on either side of me as the guys joined me, but I could not force my eyes open. Liam spooned me from behind, and I could smell Marc on my other side.

"Sleep well, Little Wolf."

A few hours later, I felt Liam get out of bed. I noticed him go to his closet, but Marc pulled me back against him. I smiled as I felt him press a kiss to my temple. I relaxed into his warmth and could feel his breath tickle the back of my neck.

"Not yet Little Wolf. We are skipping training today. We have some things to get together for my uncle's arrival this evening."

I inhaled Marc's scent and let my body relax. I heard Liam exit the closet and come towards the bed. I felt him press his lips against my forehead and take a deep breath. Lily was purring in the back of my mind, and it was like a lullaby, easing me back into sleep.

"Love you, Lex. See you later."

I managed to whisper "Love you" back to Liam before I lost the fight to sleep. Marc had me wrapped in a cocoon of warmth. I never wanted to leave this spot. I just wanted these next few days to go smoothly with Marc's uncle so we could make it to the Luna ceremony. I couldn't wait to officially be a member of the pack with Jess and Liam.

I was starting to dream about my Luna ceremony when I heard Marc's alarm go off. I giggled as I heard him groan and roll towards the table. The alarm stopped and he placed a kiss on my temple. I felt the bed move as he got up, so I took that opportunity to stretch my limbs and admire him as he walked to his closet.

I looked at the time to try and gauge how to dress. I saw Marc out of my peripheral vision. He was dressed in dark jeans, a black t-shirt and black Nikes. How could someone look so breathtaking while being dressed so casually? I noticed the smirk playing on his lips as he made his way back towards me.

"Has anyone ever told you how cocky you act?" I raised a brow as he laughed. He grabbed my hands and pulled me into him. He pressed a kiss to my nose before resting his cheek against the top of my head. He inhaled deeply before looking at me again. He winked and I rolled my eyes.

"I think it comes with the Alpha King title, Little Wolf. Now why don't you go get changed. My uncle will be here this afternoon and will stay for your Luna ceremony this weekend. Dress as casual as you would like. This is how I always dress unless I have a formal meeting planned. Today does not count as a formal meeting. I'll see you downstairs when you are ready."

He pressed a quick kiss to my lips before leaving the room. I made my way to my closet. I decided to follow Marc's attire. I grabbed a pair of dark skinny jeans, a white flowy tank top and a thin black cardigan. I grabbed my black flats, sitting them by the bedroom door before going to the bathroom. I ran the brush through my hair and pulled it into a messy bun. I threw on some mascara and eyeliner before deciding I looked presentable enough for a casual meeting.
