The Human Girl Who Tamed Alpha King Chapter 117

Chapter122

JACE

Everyone's running around like headless chickens for this damn coronation. I get it's important, but the constant meetings and preparations are driving me insane. Three advisor cornered me today with opinions on ceremonial protocols I couldn't care less about. Being king won't change who I am.

The day had been so hectic that by nightfall, Aria and I were completely exhausted, falling asleep the moment our heads hit the pillows. Tonight, however, I was determined to carve out some quality time for us to unwind and reconnect.

I spent hours figuring out how to create some time alone with Aria. It had been weeks since we'd had any real privacy. The solution came when I ran into Eliana, who had just completed her soul binding ceremony with Lucas.

"You look happy," I said, noticing her relaxed demeanor.

"The ceremony went well. Lucas and I feel... complete."

"Any chance you could watch Aurora and Atlas this afternoon? Aria and I need some time."

She smiled knowingly. "Of course. They can stay with us overnight if you'd like."

"Perfect."

I found Aria in the hallwith her foster grandmother Nina and Luna Seraphina. They were reviewing decoration plans for the coronation. I walked up behind her and wrapped my arms around her waist. Her body instantly relaxed against mine.

"Hey baby," I whispered in her ear. She turned in my arms, smiling.

"Hey, handsome."

"Can you possibly stop early today?" I asked, watching her face light up at the suggestion.

Luna Seraphina interrupted before Aria could answer. "Of course she can. Nina and I have everything under control."

"Eliana is watching the kids," I explained. "I thought we could go for a run. Spend some time together."

"I'd love that," Aria replied, looking genuinely excited.

"I'll see you in a few hours," I said, kissing her softly. "Love you."

"Love you too, Jace."

ARIA

I couldn't stop checking the time. Every few minutes, my eyes drifted to the clock, making Luna Seraphina laugh.

"Luna, go be with your mate. We can finish here," she said with a knowing smile.

I blushed. "I'm sorry, it's just—"

"You're young and newly mated," my foster grandmother Nina interrupted. "It's natural you want to be with him. Go. Seraphina and I can handle this."

"Are you sure?"

They both nodded, and I hurried out, nearly colliding with Laura in the entrance hall.

"What brings you here?" I asked, surprised to see Samuel's daughter.

She looked me up and down with obvious judgment. "I was summoned by a friend." Her tone lacked any acknowledgment of my Luna status.

"Have a nice visit," I replied coolly. "My mate is waiting for me."

I found Jace in our bedroom, wearing only sweatpants. The sight of his muscled chest made me pause to admire him. He caught me staring and chuckled.

"Get your cute ass in here and change," he ordered with a wink.

"Yes, Alpha," I teased, heading to my closet. His growl of desire followed me.

I changed into sweatpants and a sports bra, then walked back out to him. Another growl escaped him before he pinned me against the wall, kissing me hard.

"Let's go before I rip your clothes off and take you right here," he whispered against my ear.

We headed into the forest behind our home. Jace shifted into his massive wolf form, Phantom, and I climbed onto his back. The wind rushed through my hair as we ran through the wilderness. Phantom jumped over fallen trees and splashed through streams, playing with me.

After thirty minutes of running, Phantom changed direction, heading toward the mountains. We reached a lake with a huge waterfall at the mountain's base. Instead of stopping, Phantom led me closer to the waterfall and disappeared behind the curtain of water.

I followed, finding a cave hidden behind the falls. Jace stood inside in human form, completely naked.

"I found this earlier," he explained, taking my hand. "Got a few things set up so we can relax."

He led me deeper into the cave where LED lights illuminated the space. A large fur blanket covered the ground, with a basket of food and two smaller blankets nearby.

He handed me one blanket to wrap around myself and secured the other around his waist. We sat down together, my back against his chest, and shared the sandwiches he'd brought.

"This is perfect," I whispered, feeling truly relaxed for the first time in weeks.

When we finished eating, Jace pushed me onto my back, his muscular frame looming over me with hunger. His rough fingers deftly untied the knot on my blanket, letting it fall away to expose my bare skin. He dipped his head, capturing my nipple in his hot mouth, sucking hard. A sharp gasp tore from me as pleasure spiked through my core.

"God, I love you, Aria," he growled against my skin.

"I love you too, Jace," I moaned, trembling as his lips trailed down my stomach, igniting fire everywhere they touched. My fingers gripped his hair, pulling him closer. "Fuck, baby, I need you so bad," I gasped, craving more of his heat. His breath teased my sensitive flesh, driving me wild before he reached my aching center.

His tongue plunged between my thighs, licking and devouring with ruthless skill, unraveling me completely. My hips bucked against his face. "Oh shit, Jace, right there, don't stop!" I begged, desperate for release as he sucked my clit, sending me spiraling. I shattered, screaming his name, my body quaking with the intensity of my orgasm, ecstasy crashing over me.

He crawled back up, kissing and nipping my skin, eyes blazing with primal need. Locking gazes, he gripped my hips, his thick cock pressing against my wet entrance. "You're fucking mine, babe," he rasped, thrusting deep inside with one powerful stroke. I cried out, arching into him. "Hell yeah, take that dick, Aria," he groaned as my walls clenched around his hardness.

Our bodies slammed together, his thrusts relentless, pounding into me with savage intensity. I clawed at his back, moaning, "Harder, Jace, fuck me harder!" Sweat coated our skin, the air thick with ragged breaths and the slap of flesh. "Damn, your pussy's so tight," he grunted, driving deeper. We were lost in feral passion, consumed by the need to claim each other.

He moved slowly at first, making love to me with deliberate care. I'd missed this connection, the feeling of being completely his. After we both found release, we lay on the blanket, his arms tightly around me.

The peaceful silence shattered with a deafening boom. Immediately, heart-link connections pushed open in our minds.

"What's happening?"
