The Delta's Daughter Chapter 90
Mathias
I woke early, my arms still tightly secured around my little wolf. I breathed in her scent, letting the smell of brown sugar and vanilla envelope my senses and caress my beast.
‘She is ours,’ Arcas rumbled proudly.
I looked at my sleeping beauty, moving my arm to see my mark positioned beautifully on the swell of her breast. I let my fingers trace the inky colored bear paw, a crown entwined in the tribal mark. The jolts of electricity zapped through my fingers when I touched it, eliciting a moan from her slightly parted pink lips. My cock began standing to attention, from the innocent sound.
I moved over her, parting her legs with my knees in a slow and careful motion and pushed my cock into her. She was already wet and ready for me, even in her sleep she wanted me. I wasted no time filling her up and began thrusting gently, her body responding with eagerness, as I slowly fucked her awake.
“Mathias” She whispered and her eyes fluttered open to meet mine. “Oh yes, baby.” She hummed when I pulled out and reentered with more force, now she was awake. It took me no time to bring her to a climax.
“So fucking beautiful” I rasped. “So fucking mine.” I would never get enough of her. My body, mind and soul craved her, The thought of not being able to touch or feel her, or even be near her, was now a foreign concept to me and my beast.
“Yours, Mathias. Only yours.” The sound of my name rolling off her tongue was so hot, such a turn on. My pace quickened and my thrusts hardened, I began to roughly slam into her. I was soon following her over the edge. Planting my seed deep inside her and capturing her lips in a possessive kiss as I filled her up. Now she was mine, my beast would want to control her, like a dominating caveman. I would fuck her when I wanted to; pamper her the way I wanted to, I would pleasure her so much she would never look at another man.
I hovered over her, my weight on my forearms, as my cock slipped out of her. I looked down into her eyes. This little wolf owned me, every damn part of me. I didn’t know how I could ever be without her. I would never let her go.
“Good morning my little mate,” I grinned down at her, holding the gaze of those piercing green eyes.
“And good morning to you too, my king!” her smile lit her face up, her hands that were around my neck, slid down and her fingers came to rest on my neck, trailing them to where she bit me, over her mark. I shivered when she brushed the tips across the mark, a pleasurable sensation rolling through me.
“Your mark is… beautiful” She grinned, a satisfied look on her face until it changed to excitement “I want to see mine!” She tried to shove me off, but her effort was rendered useless. I chuckled at her scowl when she failed and rolled off of her to the side of the bed.
She scrambled and ran to the bathroom, her naked ass bouncing as she went. I groaned at the sight and my cock began to harden again. She was going to be the death of me. I couldn’t get enough of her.
I hear the most girly squeal ever from the bathroom; something I didn’t ever think would come out of the little warrior wolf's mouth, so I get up to see what has her so excited. She is looking at the paw print and crown on her chest, one hand touching my mark, the other at her neck where, if I was a wolf, I would have bitten her.
Her head turned to me when she noticed I was standing in the door frame. Her eyes automatically searched out my neck and she reached for me, grabbing my hand and pulling me to the mirror.
“Did you see your mark?” She asked while standing on tiptoes and pulling my head down to see the mark she left. “Hhh” She gasped and her hand flew to her mouth. “Mathias, your mark is… its, blue like the one on my chest, see look.”
I looked in the mirror, and sure enough, there sat a wolf's paw print with a crown, right on the crook of my neck. I smiled. “That’s your mark my queen. I wear it proudly.”
Once she was done admiring my marks, her wolf paw print and my matching one of the bear paw prints, I shoved her in the shower where I had my way several more times. We had just finished packing our bags when Xander knocked on the cabin door.
“Hurry up!” He yelled through the door “I will meet you by Birdie, it's time to go!” The sound of his footsteps retreating, crunching through the snow, reminded me it was time to head to the royal pack of wolves, where Tobias should already be arriving with the Delta. Shit, we hadn’t even had time for breakfast.
“He’s in a hurry.” Raising an eyebrow, Lamia cocked her head and grinned.
“He likes this place, but after a while the silence of the forest can be a little uncomfortable. You don’t notice the energy because of your own Aura, but Xander, it will start to suffocate him after a while.”
We grabbed our bags and headed out of the cabin. When we got to the path that would lead us through the trees back to ‘Birdie’, Odeia and the other priests were waiting for us.
“Mathias, Lamia, I wanted to say goodbye, for now. I am sure our paths will cross again. Remember what I told you, find the lost city of Riocht and claim your places before Orion can. He cannot be allowed to rule.” Her voice started off soft but became harsh with the last sentence, stressing the importance of its meaning.
She hugged Lamia, and then the priests began to bow and bend at the knee to us both as we passed them down the path, a Lycan guard leading the way through the trees.
“Be safe, our King and Queen,” he said and bowed as we came to the edge of the trees where birdie sat. Xander was already there waiting. Then he turned to Lamia. “My queen, I have a message from our Alpha. He said when the time comes, you have our full support and he will help in the battle for Riocht.”
“Tell your Alpha, we are humbled by his loyalty and offer and I look forward to having his strength stand with us.”
The Lycan turned away and Lamia turned to me mouthing “wow”, as it is unlikely for a Lycan to be involved in a war that does not concern them. However, they recognize Lamia as their queen and, just for that fact, without even meeting her, they would follow her command.
*****
Once we were up in the air and had cleared the mountains, Lamia was able to mind link the Prince of werewolves. I had forgotten that now we were fully mated we would also be able to link, so I invaded her head with a smirk on my face.
*You know, little wolf, I may have to claim you right in front of your little prince. Just so he knows who you belong too.* I held back the chuckle when her head snapped at me so fast, I thought she would get whiplash. She gave me a glare so icy, that it could pierce right through my very soul.
*Don’t you dare even think about it Mathias!* She scolded *I will kick your balls so far up you will taste them!* She took a beat *we are cleared to land on the training fields, let Xander know.*
I couldn’t help but laugh. I had no doubt my little warrior queen would do just that. The thought of taking her in front of people had my pants tightening in the groin area. I wanted the entire realm to know just who she belonged to.
We arrived at the Wolf Kingdom a few hours later. As soon as we stepped off of ‘Birdie’, I could feel the tension in the air, tension that I was in their kingdom.
A small group of people waited for us just off to the side of the training field where we landed. Among them were my 2nd in command, Tobias, and Lamia's father, the royal Delta. Tobias had let me know that they arrived there earlier this morning.
Two young pups, around Lamia’s age, came striding forward with too much confidence, heading straight for my girl. Mine and Arcas’ protective instinct immediately kicked into gear. As they got a little closer, I stepped in front of Lamia and gave a low warning growl.
“You big oaf, get out the way. This is Kellen and Mike” Her slap to my arm was nothing; it was her action that she would dismiss and show a lack of respect for me that hurt. I whipped around and glared daggers into her eyes. At first she was ready to meet the challenge head on before her eyes softened.
*Mathias, these are my friends, my brothers. Please, don’t go all barbaric on me right now.* She winked *Save it for later, when we are alone* her smirk stayed in place as she moved around me to greet the two pups and cut the link.
Dear god’s, now all I could think about was throwing her over my shoulder, marching into the woods, pinning her against a tree and making her scream who her king was.
“Your majesty,” My thoughts were interrupted when an older man, along with a woman, stepped forward and held a hand out to me. “I am King Alexander, it is a pleasure to meet you.”
I took his hand, giving it a firm shake and looked to Tobias who was standing with the Delta and a woman who was probably his mate.
“Thank you King Alexander. And thank you for welcoming my 2nd in command as well as myself. This is my brother Xander, also my third in command.” I gestured to Xander and he stepped forward, also shaking his hand.
“This is my mate and Queen Sarah” the older wolf said.
“A pleasure, your highness” She curtsied, a genuine smile on her face.
I looked over to the Delta Marcus, and made my way to them, stopping when I stood in front of him, his mate and Tobias. “King, this is my mate and wife Vivian.” He proudly announced and I could not miss the love in his eyes as he looked at her.
“It’s a pleasure to meet the woman who brought my mate into the world. Thank you Mrs. Langley” I smiled at her, meaning every word.
“YOUR MATE!” Came a growl from behind me. I expected it to be the prince, but the loud growl was from his Beta. “your mate!” he repeated, shaking his head with a look of disbelief written all over his face and posture, he turned to Lamia, fists clenching “When the fuck were you going to tell us you were mated to a bear, the fucking king of bears at that?”
“Watch your tone when speaking to my queen little pup!” I growled back at him, letting Arcas show through my eyes. I would not tolerate disrespect towards my queen, no matter who it was.
“First fucking Zane, now him?” He held his hand out, pointing at me.
“Mike, shut up dude.” The prince interjected. “We have more important things to discuss” He eyed Lamia, a soft look in his eyes and sighed. “More than a few strange things happened last night, but I would rather be inside before we get into what happened.”
After the formalities of meet and greet were done, The King led us all into a large conference room situated at the back of the palace, away from prying ears and eyes. Tobias and I were the last to walk in and the room felt over crowed. I towered above everyone else, my large frame filling the room. The more people in here, the more I started to get agitated. I could feel my blood boiling just below the surface, the irrational irritation flaring up once again.
I reached for Lamia, pulling her towards me and bent to inhale her scent, drowning out the rest of the scents in the room. It helped to calm me some, but Arcas was still pounding his paws in my head, not liking so many males around his mate.
“First order of business,” King Alexander began, “Cambiador, the were-cat kingdom, was attacked last night.”
“WHAT? Oh my goddess! Where is Tawny?” My little wolf gasped out, breaking from my hold.
“She is fine, Lamia, but she has opted to stay there. We have moved warriors to the adjoining border, in case she calls us for aide. The King Phanton Armand passed away in the early hours of the morning. She also described the crawlers that Rhett and yourself have seen. She said they ripped through the city. You lost five of the men you sent with her. ”
I could physically see and feel the tension rolling off Lamia, her eyes darting around the room looking at each and every one of us.
The prince cleared his throat, locking eyes with Lamia, “Have you spoken to Travis?”
“No” she shook her head “I spoke with Hunji three days ago, he didn’t report anything unusual, why?” She questioned him hesitantly, almost afraid of the answer. I held her a little tighter, trying to give her my strength.
“Well um,” The prince scratched the back of his neck, his blue eyes portraying the same nervousness his voice held with his next words “Travis had to lock Hunji in the dungeons. Last night his wolf went wild, attacked him and the little girl you have staying with you.”
“What?” She gasped “He attacked Petra? Oh my gods, is she ok? I have to call Travis now.” She started to panic, her body shaking in my arms.
The prince came closer and took one of her hands in his, looking her squarely in the eye. “Lamia, Hunji’s wolf, isn’t the only one that lost control last night, Conri did too.” He looked down in shame, “I have to ask, did something happen last night around the peak of the full moon, because…” He now looked to his Beta, who shifted uneasily in his seat. “Because… Something happened to Mike and me”
Her head snapped up, looking between him and Mike. Her brows pinched together in confusion and then looked up at me before she turned back to the prince. “What do you mean something happened to you?” She said slowly and carefully.
The prince stood straight and sighed, then stripped his shirt, the Beta stood up and followed suit, standing next to the prince, in front of Lamia.
She gasped again and then lifted her hand, caressing the prince’s chest. Arcas started growling, the rumbling becoming louder with each passing second. She ripped her hand from his chest and then examined the Beta’s, not touching him this time. I think she understood it was pissing my beast off, touching another male.
“This isn’t the only thing that happened,” The Beta said, casting a glance at his prince. “We um… Our eyes, they uh…” He scrubbed a hand over his face.
“Your eyes what?” I demanded.
“They uh… The pupils had the shape of a sword or cross in them, they went away after a while, but we noticed them right after the pain, when these marks appeared, burned into us.” The Beta looked at Lamia, questioningly and hopefully, like she may have an answer.
“We um… completed the mating process last night, it was a little different, but I don’t think…” She started and then stopped, green eyes opening wide and she turned in my arms “Mathias, do you think? What Odeia said, about my four knights?"
“My guess is, whatever Odeia told you, has come to pass, or is coming to pass. If you completed the mating process last night and the time line falls in place with what happened, then well your knights have been dubbed. Lamia, did you mark Mathias?” Her father’s even and calm tone rang out into the room, bringing some form of sense to the chaotic conversation. My head was pounding.
“I did,” she smiled, not being able to contain her happiness. I held her all the tighter, and buried my nose into her neck and kissed her. She was mine.
