The Delta's Daughter Chapter 18

LAMIA

It was a week later and we had all settled into school and classes. I had moved back in with my parents, who had moved back into the palace at some point when we were at the academy.

They knew about mine and Kellen’s now ‘romantic’ relationship. I guess they thought they would have better control over our extended activities;. However, Kellen ended up sleeping in my bed every night anyway.

My first night back in my room, the nightmares had begun. I had woken up in a cold sweat screaming for Mike. The same shrill voice I used when the bear had attacked him. The glaring red eyes plaguing my dreams and consuming me with terror. The feel of his claws digging in was so vivid, bringing back the pain. When my father came in to comfort me, I had lashed out in a fit of terror and clawed at him. I guess I had woken up the whole palace with my screams and didn’t calm down until Kellen’s arms held me down in a tight embrace, soothing the shaking fear.

After the second night and only Kel being able to help me and stay with me, they let him sleep in my bed where he would just hold me all night, tight in his embrace, the tingles from his touch caressing and calming my mind allowing me to sleep. I felt like I was losing part of myself and needed to kick these nightmares in the ass. I just needed to get over this.

Hunji was a big help and when he wasn’t busy with the King, we would meditate, like we would back at the academy, hoping to calm not just my wolf spirit but also my own mind. Inanna had been quiet, lying back, the little times we had spoken in the past week was her begging to be let out. She understood my worries and was letting me deal with them the best I could. I was hoping this week I could start training again. I figured if I could expel a lot of energy, maybe that would help and I wouldn’t be kept up at night and my thoughts invaded by the gruesome images.

It was late and we had classes tomorrow, but I found myself sitting in the Royal gardens on one of the benches by a stone fountain. The light sound of water trickling from the large wolf's mouth that was the centre piece of the decoration, the moonlight reflecting off the now dark water, casting a slight light. A comforting sound that soothed my wolf and me. I lay back on the bench and gazed at the stars twinkling in the night sky, the glow of the moon pulling my eyes to its beauty.

I caught his scent first, and then heard his footsteps as he slowly approached my position. I didn’t move, he knew I was there, he could feel my presence just as I could his.

“Hey Kel” I said with an even tone.

He rounded the bench, lifted my legs and sat down, placing my legs back down over his lap and started running one of his hands up and down my bare leg, leaving a trail of goose bumps. The nights were warm and I was dressed in simple shorts and a tank. Kellen dressed similarly in basketball shorts and a muscle tank.

His brows furrowed as he looked at me. “Hey babe, you doing OK?” Concern was held in his voice.

I mused, scrunching my nose and pursing my lips “Yah I think so,” It was a short reply because I wasn’t really sure; I had been out here all evening and was thinking about quite a lot. He knew something was bothering me, he could not only feel it but we were best friends. He knew me better than anyone else in this world.

“I know something is bothering you, Lam’s, We don’t have to talk about it until you are ready, but I do wish you would let me in. I can’t help you if I don’t know, you know?” His voice was monotone, his fingers still caressing my leg and watching as they moved up and down. His hand slid slightly up, underneath the hem of my shorts, fingertips grazing the deep ugly scars that encompassed my right thigh. I shuddered slightly at his touch of it, a look of pain and sorrow crossing his features, Kel’s jaw tightened at my small movement.

“Does it hurt?” he asked, drawing his brows together.

I shook my head, sighing “no, just the memory gives me creepy crawlies.” I laid my hand on top of his that was still lingering on the scars. Usually a werewolf would heal completely, leaving no scars, but because of the nature of the injury being deep accompanied with the infection and the silver claw tip sticking in my bone, I considered myself lucky.

“I would do it again Kel,” his eyes shot up to meet mine, wide, “even with how much it scared me, I wouldn’t hesitate to fight one again. Especially if it meant protecting you or Mike -” Kellen tilted his head and opened his mouth as if to say something, his eyes pleading, but I didn’t let him speak “The sheer power of that beast, he would have killed Mike if I hadn’t challenged him. I took on a bear shifter; it’s not natural for a wolf to be able to do that.”

Kellen stayed quiet letting me get out what I needed to, and how I felt. I smirked a little “The sheer power I felt from Inanna was… it was… consuming and I … Liked it. When I woke up, I could, and still can, feel that power and strength coursing through my veins. It scares me-“I paused, breathing in deep it was hard to describe what I felt, “-I feel so much stronger that I know if faced with the same situation I could take on a bear shifter and easily kill it. Does that make sense to you?”

“Lamia,” he croaked out, a small smile playing on his lips but not meeting his eyes “I don’t know what to say, you have always been strong, but please, I beg you! Do not ever rush to challenge a bear again, shifter or not. Especially not on your own! You scared me! I thought I had lost you. I cannot live without you. When I saw you lying on that bear…“He choked back the words, dropping his head before raising it again, his endless pools of blue roaming from my eyes to my nose, lips and back to settle his gaze on mine.

“You and I, we were meant to be together. We share a bond like no other. I would die for you, I would kill for you. You are mine.”

All I saw and felt through our bond was pure love from him. This made me happy; I pushed the doubts of what if we 'aren’t mates' to the back of my mind for now. Our birthdays were only a short two weeks away now. We had to be mates, but if we weren’t, we would both be devastated. I knew we could always choose each other and our wolves had said he was mine and I was his, our bond was stronger and each day the tingles between us grew stronger, making us crave each other even more. I still had this feeling that I knew would not be resolved until we turned 18. There was nothing I could do, fate would be fate. So, for now, I will not worry and instead cherish that we were here with each other.

I perked up a little, hiding my irritation and unsettling thoughts, not from Kellen, but myself. I was irritated because of how I felt, how a stupid fight had made me waiver and shook me to the core, no matter how much stronger I physically felt.

I sat up propping myself by the elbows. “You know what, Kel?” He looked at me with anticipation “Let’s go for a run! Conri and Inanna haven’t gone out together in a long time, what do you say?” Inanna was now running circles in my head, excited to get out and run with Conri.

He let out a short chuckle and patted my leg to get up. “I think that’s a great idea and Conri agrees.”

We walked to the bottom of the garden, down the gravely path to where the tree line of the forest began. We undressed, stuffing our clothes next to a tree and shifted, not even trying to hide our nudity. I felt Conri nuzzle my side and turned to his enormous silver wolf, not grey but beautiful silver that shimmered in the light of the moon. Conri’s blue eyes glowed brightly, reflecting my wolf's emerald green eyes, that almost looked cosmic as they too shone bright.

My black wolf was as big as Conri, meeting his size. I nuzzled back against him and he licked Inanna’s face playfully. Conri gave a short howl before dashing forward into the thick of the trees. It took me a second to dig in my paws and follow him, catching up to him quickly.

We didn’t know how long we had chased and frolicked with each other, nipping each other’s heels and tail as we flew through the forest, bounding over logs and ruffling pine needles under our paws. All our worries had drifted away as we enjoyed playing like little pups. I looked over at Conri and he nodded for me to follow him as he turned off in a different direction.

*Lets go to the lake* Kellen linked me and I silently agreed to run along beside him.

A few minutes later, we had reached one of our favorite getaway spots growing-up. In the daytime, the lake was a crystal blue that shimmered under the sun’s rays. We would lay out on the warm rocks that surrounded part of the big pool. Tonight it was dark, reflecting only the moon and stars from way above. Slowing down as we neared, we headed for our favorite rock and sat side by side on our hind legs. I rubbed my muzzle under Conri’s and stared at our reflection in the water. Conri’s fur mirrored the color of the moon, bright and glistening, it was hard to see my deep black coat.

But the white stripe across Inanna's eyes stood out and was more prominent from the glow of my eyes.

Lamia POV

I shifted and Kellen followed suit. I took in his large muscular chest and arms as he sat next to me naked. He was already filling out and growing into the Alpha he was meant to be. I licked my lips as my gaze traveled down to his torso and defined abs. My southern lips began to ache and I felt the familiar wetness build up between my legs as my eyes went lower, daring to look at his already hardened thick member.

A low growl rumbled from his chest. “I can smell your arousal, Lamia”, his finger lifted my chin to meet his eyes. They were dark, full of lust. “You keep eye-fucking me and I won’t be responsible for my actions. I am already holding back my wolf”

My breathing became labored and the heat between my legs intensified,

“Don’t hold back.” I said, tilting my head up a little more and leaning closer to him.

Kellen captured my lips with his quickly smashing them together, his hand fisting my hair as his tongue pushed my lips apart until he could probe my mouth, deepening the passionate kiss. My arms reached to wind around his neck, at the same time, his other hand grabbed my hip and pulled me up and over him, so I was straddling him.

Pulling my hair and tilting my head, he trails kisses down my jaw and neck, licking and nibbling that sensitive spot where his mark would one day be placed. I let out a gasp of pleasure, eliciting a deep moaning growl of his own. My hips were on automatic pilot as they ground against his stiff rock-hard cock. I wanted him badly. His mouth trailed down over my collar bone to my chest, I leant back more, arching my back as he sucked one of my pebbled nipples into his mouth, drawing it between his teeth before licking and moving to the other one, giving it just as much attention.

I moaned loudly, his name rolling off my tongue “Kellen...” 

His hand that was still on my hip moved between my legs, his finger circling my clit, while still nipping and sucking my breasts. The tingles erupted over my body as he slipped his finger in between my folds to my wet centre.

“You are so wet, always ready for me Lamia?” His husky voice drew a pleading sound from me as he worked his finger in and out. He slipped another finger inside me, working my pussy and stroking that magical spot. My hips ground harder against his fingers and palm, his hard erection brushing underneath me as I moved with his thrusting fingers that were pumping into me faster. With each thrust I could feel the buildup, my walls tightening.

“Come for me baby,” he whispered against my ear.

That was all it took for me to come undone with a shudder and loud moan, my core clenched around his fingers.

He smashed his lips into me, as I released; on to his hand. Before I could even catch my breath and come down from the high, he withdrew those magic digits and brushed his cock against my throbbing and pulsing entrance, coating himself with my juices before pushing himself inside me in one swoop. He circled his hips beneath me, letting me adjust to his size before grasping my hips, pulling out and slamming back into me. The feeling of him inside me is so different from the first time, Yet so familiar and more pleasurable.

“Fuck” he groaned. “You feel so fucking good babe”, mumbling against my neck as he pumped into me.

His thrusts became harder, deeper and he grunted with each penetration. I lifted my hips, meeting him thrust for thrust as he pounded into me.

“Goddess Kellen, I’m going to cum”

“Fuck, I want to see you cum, look at me Lamia, I want to feel your release around my cock.” Our foreheads leant against each other and I looked into his swirling eyes, glowing bright blue as his hips pounded harder upwards, his cock penetrating me deeply.

My breathing was ragged and I couldn’t hold back. I yelled his name as I exploded around his shaft, my walls gripping his cock tight, milking it while he still pumped furiously into me, my body shaking as I held his gaze until the release and feeling was too much and my eyes rolled back, sounds of pure ecstasy escaping my lips, his grunts became more louder and howled loudly as he found his own release,

His own juices warm and coating my walls, “Goddess I love you Lamia”, his breathless tone sent shivers down my spine as his cock jerked inside me, spilling his last bit of essence.

“I love you too, Kellen.”

My arms were around his neck and his hands still on my hips, our foreheads had a light sheen of sweat as we still leant against one another. We sat there for a few minutes. Until we both looked down to where we were still joined, the combination of my juices and his cum glistened on our groins.

I laughed a little and smirked at him “You made a mess of us.”

“No, we made a mess of each other”. He laughed “But I will make a mess like this with you any day” his tone turned slightly serious with just an undertone of playfulness. He lifted one of his hands to my neck and ran his fingers over my marking spot.

“I can’t wait until you can wear my mark, it will look beautiful, almost as beautiful as you.” I swatted his arm playfully at his sweet words.

It was law that you couldn’t mark a wolf until they had come of age, until they were 18. The consequences could be severe, Prince or not. There was a high chance that if a minor was marked it would become infected and they could die. Not to mention, if the crime was committed, the person could face imprisonment or worse, death. It was considered a violation and fell under the law of child abuse.

“We have all the time in the world, Kel” I gently spoke, now caressing his strong solid jaw.

I didn’t want to leave his arms or lap, but we finally got up from our positions, the emptiness was felt instantly once our bodies were no longer in contact. We shifted into our wolves again and lazily headed back home, running at a slow pace.

When we finally reached the royal gardens again, we found our clothes, shifted back and dressed. Linking our hands and lacing our fingers, we quietly walked into the palace.

The tiredness was creeping up on me and I just wanted to head to bed and have Kellen wrap me in his embrace as we fell asleep. The shower could wait until the morning.
