The Delta's Daughter Chapter 196

Day 23 of the games (early morning after the battle)

KELLEN

Rogue handed me my sword. I turned it in my palm a few times, debating whether to just end Oliver or start cutting little pieces off him, I still hadn’t made up my mind when my little flame came running towards us, now wearing a light pink dress “Kellen stop! No, please! Don’t kill him!” She cried out stepping between me and the soon-to-be dead shifter.

Protecting Oliver.

I ground my teeth together, not wanting to argue with her, but she didn’t understand. Like a slithering snake, the jealousy of her choosing another man over me crawled over my skin, because that’s what it felt like, what made it worse was that it was fucking Oliver! The man I dreamt of killing for three fucking years. The sly fucker that always got away.

“Listen red, he is the most wanted man by four kingdoms in the first continent, after Orion and his bitch Shayna.” Tobias retorted behind Tala, his hand securely gripping Oliver’s neck. I rolled my eyes back and held my breath. Tobias seriously needed to shuck the fuck up. Conri began pushing forward, trying to force me to shift, He saw the bear shifter, our friend, as a threat toward our mate and I tried to calm my wolf. He was simmering just below the surface and I tried telling him to calm; Controlling my own violent urges and Conri's were proving difficult.

Tala spun around, placing her hands on her hips. I couldn’t see her face but I could tell she was staring Tobias down “Listen here were-bear, That bitch Shayna, happened to be my sister and you don’t know shit about her!” then she turned to me and I was right, my little flame was burning bright with hot anger. “I don’t give a shit what he has done in his past, he saved me! He killed Jack and saved my ass twice!” She snapped pointing behind her to the snake in the grass Oliver, “You promised you wouldn’t kill him,” Her tone was just a tad softer.

Is she fucking kidding me She just pleaded for his life This kidnapping, raping, murderer My mate just pleaded for the life of the man who committed the biggest crimes of our realm against the Queen of Shifters. My temper flared and my chest started to rumble with Conri’s low growls. I was angry that my mate was nave to Oliver’s ways. It was like he had charmed her, made her believe that he wasn’t all that bad, just a lost soul.

‘Kill’ snarled Conri, stirring at the precipice of my mind, ready to push me off the edge. The jealousy flared, mixing into a dangerous concoction with the slowly boiling temper Conri wanted to unleash on Tobias.

“You have no idea what kind of wolf this man is, he wouldn’t think twice to rape and kill you. Do you think Jack was bad He is no better.” Tobias spat back at my mate. I gave him a low warning growl that he was stepping over the line. He had no idea how close he was to me killing him right now.

A low whistle came from Mike, who didn’t want to get involved but was just as eager to see Oliver’s death. “Lamia is going to love her” He chuckled.

“Who is this Lamia” Tala asked still with a pout and frown on her face.

“The Queen of shifters, the woman this ass wipe, kidnapped and committed an… a horrible crime against.” I noticed Mike changed his answer, not wanting to air our best friend's dirty laundry in front of everyone or give Oliver the satisfaction of hearing it. Not publically, not here. It was difficult for Mike to talk about, he was the one who had taken her out of the cell, him and Tawny.

Tala’s mouth formed an ‘O’ and cocked her head at me. I didn’t miss the sharp sting of jealousy, she hid it pretty quickly and my eyes moved to Oliver. I let Conri come forward, through my eyes and, I knew they were going black. Like a shield, a protective film slips over my eye, and a power like no other feeling starts resonating throughout my body, to the beat of Conri’s eerie growls he has aimed at Oliver.

“Might I suggest something” Hunji stepped forward, cutting off the building tension, the ever-present calmness to his tone, and lack of emotion.

I slipped a look at my little flame and was pleasantly surprised that she was looking at me lustfully. Conri’s attention averted from ‘kill’ to ‘Tala’. Just the thought of his mate subdued him for now. I scrubbed a hand down my face, nothing was ever easy. “What do you suggest Hunji”

“We take him back to MacTire, let Travis handle him however he sees fit.” Hunji’s suggestion was a good one. A fair one. I know we all wanted a piece of him but when it came down to it, Oliver may have killed my parents but it was Lamia and Travis who really had the right to determine his fate. “I think this would bring some closure to Travis” I had to agree, Oliver didn’t just torture Travis amongst other things, Oliver was the one who almost killed Travis with his silver arrows and helped kidnap Petra.

I noticed Tala stiffen at the word MacTire and look at Hunji with curious eyes, had she heard of that place

I saw Mike’s eyes glaze over and then he connected the four Knights and Lamia in a mind-link *Lamia, we have captured Oliver, Hunji has suggested we bring him back to MacTire for Travis to decide his fate, instead of us killing him right here and now.*

*Finally! That scum deserves to die!* Her sweet voice carried through my head *Rhett, what do you think* She asked the fourth Knight, who was Travis’s Gamma

*Bring him back here for sentencing, he will be tried for his crimes in court.* It was the right thing to do, even though we wanted him dead, the law states we are to hold a trial, and Rhett was the head of the enforcers, upholders of the law.

It was settled; little did Oliver know that it would be a fate worse than death. I could only imagine what Travis would do to him and it would be nothing less than what the scumbag deserved. “Oliver will be escorted back to MacTire, Alpha Travis and Gamma Rhett will try him for his crimes and decide on his fate,” I said. “Jasper, can your men escort Commander Tobias and the prisoner to your cells”

“Of course,” Jasper agreed and called a few of his men over.

Tala turned back to Oliver, “I’m sorry Oliver. I had hoped you would have been far away and got to live the life you wanted. Free… of all this.” I hated the tone she used towards him, it was regretful and remorseful. If only she knew what he had done.

“It’s OK, princess, I deserve no less.” He lifted his cuffed hands and stroked her cheek with his fingers. And the fucker had the balls to look into her eyes longingly! Mother of the Moon goddess, my mate didn’t want me to kill him, but she was making it really hard for me to keep my word. Hunji, Mike, and even now Tobias looked worried and shared a look between them. Tobias yanked Oliver away, realizing his mistake. Maybe Oliver did know that handing him to Travis would entail more than a quick death

“Get him out of here I growled, another second of him looking at her like that and touching her, I would snap. I was truly holding on to Conri by a sun God's fucking thread right now. I couldn’t imagine what my face looked like at this moment. Because it felt all kinds of screwed up to me. I wanted to snap his fucking head off.

I clenched my fists and drew in deep breaths, trying to hone in my building temper and Jealousy, those two emotions were a recipe for an explosive reaction. I was so much stronger after receiving the mark of a Knight. Even stronger now that I have been here and come back from dead, that it was hard to control all this built-up energy after Conri had been confined for three months.

Tala noticed I was having a hard time controlling my wolf, at first she looked a little frightened, the look disappearing and a new one emerging. One full of lust and want. One that craved her Alpha, her King. Tala slid over to me, her body hot beneath my palms, and a light sheen of sweat coated her forehead, and wrapped her arms around my waist. Instantly I began to feel calmer as the mate bonds magic did its thing.

When Tala’s hands began to explore my naked chest and she started scenting me, her nose going from my torso up to my chest. Her tongue poked out of those petal-kissed lips of hers, trailing along as Tala slowly let her nose brush against my skin, tasting with the flicks of her tongue. She had no idea what she was doing to me, every second her arousal got stronger and her scent became overpowering. I just wanted to bury myself deep inside her.

“Tala,” Stop I said harshly, pulling her from me. If she didn’t I would mate her right here and now, in front of my men, and stake my claim on her for all to witness.

“Kellen,” She pushed herself towards me her hand reaching for my engorged cock “I want to fuck you,” She said seductively. The precipitation building on her skin her scent musky and…

“Shit, she’s in heat!” Jasper groaned out just as I thought it.

Well, at least we had defeated Vargr before she went into heat. I picked my mate up, like a bride, her hands twining around the nape of my neck, fingers twirling with my hair. Soft lips found their way to my shoulder. My cock hardened painfully when she started nibbling on my shoulder and then kissed each spot she bit.

“Shit Tala,” I moaned, moving with inhuman speed to get to her room “You are really testing me, I don’t know if I can hold back from you. I won’t let another man touch you. Ever!”

“Kellen, I was going to let you have me earlier, now I just have you to myself longer.” She said between sweet nips and licks now near my marking spot. Moons, this woman… Fuck, she could hate me later. I wasn’t strong enough to hold back. She had already marked me. I couldn’t say no. Hell, I didn’t want to say no. The sparks I felt between us were hot and fiery, and her just saying the words, knowing she wanted me as much I wanted her had me losing all rational thinking.

We made it to her room; I think it was her room. I took a quick look around. Yep, it smelt like her in here and it looked like hers. Good enough. I put her down on the bed and she scrambled out of her dress. Quite quickly. She was a she-wolf in heat, craving to be mated and as I was an Alpha, a King, and she need to mate with me, her wolf demanded it. She felt the bond and the attraction much more with us both having Alpha blood and once in heat, it could last anywhere from two to five days.

Tala was up on her knees reaching for me. I let her pull me forward and her hands played with the band of my shorts, her fingers dipping down and hooking the band, sliding them down. Her eyes followed and widened when she freed my cock and licked her lips, she looked up at me with wild hungry eyes.

I looked down at her, drinking in her porcelain skin, tear-drop breasts, and down to the firm curve of her ass. All basic instincts told me to pounce and sink into her warm center, where my eyes were now glued to her pussy, bare except for the thin strip of red hair. She already told me no man had ever touched her before, her words echoing in my head as my lustful eyes roamed her perfect body.

The sun was just coming up and a golden stream of light poured through her window, dancing across her skin and illuminating her hair, making her look more like the hot flame of a fire than it already did. I pushed her back onto the bed and crawled over her, her legs parting for me. I captured her lips in a bruising kiss, a show-stopping kiss, one that would have me bending at the knee and agreeing to anything for my little flame.

When she panted for air I began kissing down her neck, her collar bone, slowly moving down until I reached her breasts and sucked one of her already hardened nipples into my mouth. Her back arched and she moaned out a sensual sound of pleasure when her erect bud popped from my lips. I moved to the other breast administrating the same action, this time sucking harder and taking more in my mouth. Her hips lifted and her opening brushed against my cock.

All I wanted to do was sink into her, but not yet. I trailed sweet kisses between her breasts, moving further down and over her flat stomach.

“Kellen, please” She moaned wantonly. She had no idea what she asking for, her heat driving her to mate.

I slipped a hand between her thighs, between us. My middle finger caressed her opening. She shuddered and bucked when I spread her wetness over her and found that tight little bud and let my finger roll it before pushing that finger inside her and watching her eyes roll back, lips part and a ruttish sound escaped. I slowly plunged my finger in and out watching her reaction before adding another. She’s so tight around my fingers, her channel squeezing and I could only imagine the feeling of her wrapped around my cock. I crook my fingers and found that soft spot, rubbing over it, her breathing becoming more labored.

“Dear goddess don’t stop!” She wails, letting me know how close she is to falling over the edge.

“I don’t think I could ever stop wanting you, Tala.” It was the truth.

I slow down my movements and bring my face over hers, diving in for a short but promising kiss. My fingers still slowly stroking her while my tongue runs down the length of her body until I reach her hip and move between her legs letting my tongue lick from her opening to her clit and sucking it in, then giving her a quick nip.

Tala squirms in ecstasy as my mouth latches on, my tongue delves to her clit, and my fingers pump in and out. Her moans get louder and when she clamps around my fingers, her legs shake ad she goes off like a firecracker. Her ragged breathing and whimpers echo into the room and I taste her orgasm spill into my mouth and lap her juices up growling at the taste, which only makes me want her to ride my cock even more so.

I slide up her body and she pulls me to her, kissing me, tangling our tongues, and moans out in greed when she tastes herself on me. “I need you inside me, Kellen, I’m so thirsty,” She says between nipping my lips.

“Your wish is my command,” I growl and move my hips so my cock seats right at her entrance. My intentions were to go slow, it was her first time, and I didn’t want to hurt her any more than it might. I pushed the head of my rock-solid throbbing length into her entrance, watching her, making sure my little flame was good to go. When she lifted her hips and wrapped her legs around me tight and impaled her pussy onto my cock, taking all of me in one go, her back lifting off the bed as I filled her. Her sultry moan had me making my own sounds of rapture.

I stilled, catching my breath before I blew my load. Tala’s hand reached up, and her nails softly slid down my chest, leaving a trail of prickled skin as the sparks ignited all over me. This was nothing like I had experienced before. Being connected to Tala felt like home. A place I never wanted to leave.

“Kellen… Please,” She moaned breathily and circled her hips, grinding against me.

I opened my eyes only to meet hers, locking our gazes and finding ourselves in a moment of utopia. I pulled my throbbing cock from her heat and pushed back in slowly. “More” she begged and I plowed into her.

“You are mine, Tala. Say it” I growled, still keeping a steady pace, moving in and out of her.

“Yours.” She heaved as I thrust into her roughly.

“Say it again. I want to hear you.”

“Yours my King. Yours!” She cried out and I slammed my cock into her.

Plunging into my little flame over and over, I hooked my arms under her shoulders and leaned back on my knees, holding her tight against me. My hips bucked into her, seating my cock deep inside while she held on to my shoulders. My gums began to tingle and as if sensing it herself, Tala tilted her head.

My canines descended and pierced through her skin, right where her neck and shoulder meet. She screamed out, her orgasm rocketing around me, milking my cock for everything it had, and squeezing me to my own release. I released my bite and emptied my seed into her throwing my head back as I did and howling at the feeling of completing the mate bond.

I let go of my grip on her and ran my tongue over my bite, lapping at the small amount of blood. Her body went limp in my arms and I laid her down in front of me, her legs still hooked around my hips.

“Again,” She said with her eyes closed. I laughed. I most certainly would take her again, I just needed a moment and so did she.
