3. Asteria

Alexandra's P.O.V.

"We should sleep. From what I remember, we fell asleep at five in the morning." I suggest, watching Theodore take off his shirt after the plane is in the air. His back muscles contract with every movement and I suddenly find myself clenching my thighs. God, help me.


"Or we could do other things. You don't seem too tired." He smirks, eyeing my fully covered body, making me feel like I'm naked.


'You wish.' My wolf comments but I ignore her.


"Seriously? We need sleep." I say, wrapping my arms around his built torso.


"I didn't bring you here," he motions to our little, private room, "to sleep. I wanna do things I know you want to do." He says mischievously, his hands lowering from my waist down to my ass.


"Tempting, but no." I push him off with a cheeky smile, taking off my hoodie and kicking off my shoes. I get under the covers and wait for Theo to do the same.


"With you not wearing a shirt, it'll be hard to sleep." He points out, slowly getting under the duvet.


"You've done it before, today's no different." I snuggle up next to him and he keeps me close to his side.


"You're such a tease." He says, tracing small circles on my stomach.


"You love it."


"Hmph." Is all I hear before I'm consumed in sleep.

3 Hours Later

"Lexi," I hear Theo say, "wake up."


"One more hour." I mutter, waving a hand.


"We don't have one more hour, now, get your ass out of bed." He picks me up in one swoop and I groan.


"Ugh, fine. Put me down." He does what I say and places me on the ground.


I walk into the small bathroom and do my business before heading out and throwing on my hoodie. Theo grabs our suitcases and I open the door, greeted with a Skylar.


"Thank, God. I was wondering what you two were doing in there." She wiggles her brows suggestively and I rolls my eyes, brushing past her to where the boys are. The plane has now landed and the doors are opening, greeting us with a beautiful palace. Holy shit! It's bigger than I thought.


'It's a palace, you idiot.' My wolf deadpans.


I'm first to step out and the palace stretches out forever. In the distance, there are little houses making up an entire village. The palace is a dark stone, painted with different hues of brown. Most of the towers of the palace are made of pure gold. Wow.


"Lexi, welcome to Asteria." Theo says, walking out of the plane.


"It's... wow." I utter out, not knowing what to say.


"Yeah." Theo sighs and walks forward. There are soldiers in every section and every corner of the place.


I follow him and as he passes each soldier, they stand straight and salute him, somehow recognizing him after years. He probably gave them the Alpha eyes that he thinks makes him look like the big bad wolf.
