Kay's Royal Alpha Mate

Chapter 23

Song for this chapter: Bloodstream - Ed Sheeran

I woke up with Marcus laying on me naked. The events from last night played in my head like a movie.

We must have fallen asleep right after we marked each other's skin sides.

The blood was dried up against my mouth and my chest.

"Marcus." I said low. "Can we wipe the blood off of us?"

He groaned and slowly got out of bed. His naked muscled ass looked so nice.

I bit my lip as he turned around smirking.

"Your ass is nice too." He chuckled.

"Oh shit. I forgot you can read my thoughts." I laughed and covered my face.

He just caught me perving on him. Great.

"I like it." He smirked and opened a drawer. "There should be some wet wipes or something in here."

Pulling out a package he grabbed a few wet wipes, handing me three of them.

I got off the bed and wiped the blood off my face. I felt Marcus looking at my nakedness. Every second he was getting more aroused.

"Marcus?" I asked.

"Yes Kay?" He said as he finished cleaning off the dried blood on himself.

"When are we going to talk to my.. Well.. old dad?" I asked.

"Soon." He said flatly.

The sexual mood in the boat deflated instantly.

"Is there any spare clothes in here or should I put back on the old clothes that I was wearing?" I asked.

"Old clothes." He said.

I could feel he was upset. He was thinking about my dad. Then I felt nothing in an instant, like a wall was put up. He was getting dressed and turned his back towards me.

"Marcus. What's wrong?" I asked as I picked up my clothes and put them on the bed.

I no longer had panties or underwear since Marcus ripped those off of me but I was polite and picked up the scraps off the boat floor.

"Nothing." He lied.

"Hey. I can feel you now. I know what's going on in that head of yours." I said standing in front of him naked still. "Is it about my old Dad?"

"Kay I just think there's a lot going on that could put you in danger and I don't want you to do anything until you're strong enough." He sighed and put his hands on my face.

"See how much easier it is when we communicate?" I smiled.

"Yeah, but the issue is still there." He sighed.

"But at least now I know how you're feeling." I said as I went back towards my clothes.

I put on my pants which felt weird with no underwear underneath.

"I'll.. contact him and let him know I'm okay and then I need to do the same with Corey." I said

"No kay." He said.

"Marcus. You're my mate but you do not control me." I said putting my hands on my hips. "I'm going to train harder, get bigger and stronger but I need closure."

"I'll think about it Kay." He said slipping on his shoes. "I've got Alpha shit to do so we need to head back soon."

I hated the Alpha in him coming out and telling me what to do. I was able to do things for myself.

Marcus went outside of the boat and turned on the engine. I went out with him and sat on the chairs as we sped off towards the shore.

Marcus was quiet and deep in thought. But he still had his wall up so I couldn't figure out why he put it up in the first place.

"Why are you keeping your wall up?" I asked.

"Because Kay." He said.

"Marcus I haven't done anything wrong. We had a nice night and all of a sudden I say something about my old Dad and it sets you off?" I said.

"You don't know everything kay and you're not ready to know yet! So just fucking leave it alone!" He snapped.

"No! I need to know if I can't trust my own mate or not!" I yelled.

We didn't talk for the next 5 minutes. Pulling up onto the doc, we exited the boat and Marcus got into the drivers side.

"So we aren't talking now? Just the silent treatment?" I said getting in the passenger side.

"Not right now kay. I'm talking to people of the pack." He said as we drove back up the mountains.

I couldn't understand why he was being an ass right now. I closed my eyes and shut off my thoughts with him. I needed to think about stuff without him poking through my head.

I'd spend the next few months working as hard as I could to get bigger and stronger. I wasn't the type to be a damsel in distress. But before my first shift I never had to worry about defending myself. That brings up the issue of my old dad and Corey. It felt wrong calling him my old dad but I don't know what else's to call him.

I need to remember. What happened the night of my abduction? I needed to play it over again in my head, no matter how traumatic it was.

I was with Corey and we were having a good time. My dad came in and said something about me knowing that I'm a wolf. And then when I tried to run, they gave me some kind of medicine to make me super weak.

My dad was out of the house a lot and for more days than one. I figured maybe he was sleeping with someone but I think it's because he was being witched.

An hour went by as we pulled into Marcus' driveway. Marcus got out of the car and gave the keys do a staff member who got in the car and drove off.

Marcus headed to the front door.

"Marcus. Stop." I said.

At this point I felt really sad that he was giving me this silent treatment after we just had a night of romance and marked each other.

"Kay. I'm stressed out and have a lot on my shoulders. I need some time to think. I need time to myself sometimes instead of having to give all my attention to you." His eyes were golden and he was pissed about something.

It hurt that I had to get the blunt of it. Fine. If that's what he wants, I'll let my feelings surge through. I'm going on a run. My wolf needs to be let out and right now is the perfect time for it.
