The Human Girl Who Tamed Alpha King Chapter 57

ARIA

"Take it," he snarls, his hand slipping to my clit, rubbing circles that make me shake. "Come for me, babe. Show me you're mine." His voice is rough, commanding, and I lose it, my body convulsing as another orgasm tears through me. He's right there, his roar shaking the room as he comes, claiming me completely.

"On your knees," I pant, pushing him back. He grins, letting me take control. I straddle his face, careful to keep my weight balanced, and his hands grip my thighs, pulling me down. His tongue dives in, licking and sucking, and I'm moaning, loud and unashamed.

"Fuck, Jace, you're too damn good!" My hips rock, chasing the pleasure. He growls against me, the vibration sending me spiraling. "Don't you dare stop!" I'm gripping the headboard, my body trembling as he works me over, merciless. Another climax hits, and I'm screaming, my thighs quaking around him.

He pulls me down, kissing me hard, letting me taste myself. "You're gonna keep begging for me," he murmurs, smug as hell. "Fuck, I love you."

I laugh, breathless, rolling onto my back. "Damn right I will." My hand finds his cock, hard again, and I stroke him, slow and teasing. "Your turn, Alpha."

He groans, eyes rolling back. "Shit, Aria, you're driving me wild." I guide him to my mouth, taking him deep, my tongue swirling. His hands fist in my hair, gentle but desperate. "Fuck, babe, keep going." I work him over, loving how he unravels, his growls turning ragged.

"Give it to me," I murmur, pulling back to meet his eyes. He's close, and I want everything. He comes with a shout, and I take it all.

Jace pulls me into his arms, both of us wrecked, our breathing heavy. My body's buzzing, my heart pounding. This is us, and I'm fucking alive for it. I trace his chest, my voice soft. "You make me feel like I can take on the world, Jace."

His eyes soften. "You're my everything, Aria. Chosen or not." His hand brushes my belly, a quiet nod to our kid, and it hits me how much I love him.

I swallow, my throat tight. "You're gonna make me cry, you bastard."

He chuckles, pulling me closer. "No tears. I'd have to fuck you again to fix it."

I smack his arm, smiling. "Asshole. We gotta get up. Pack's probably wondering where we are."

Jace sighs, helping me sit up. "Yeah, let's move." He tosses me his shirt, and I pull it on, the fabric loose over me.

JACE

Holy shit, I never get tired of this. Waking up with her pressed against me is better than any damn high. My body's already wide awake, if you know what I mean. Phantom's practically purring inside me, the smug bastard. Can't blame him though. Being with my true mate beats anything I've ever felt before.

I pull her closer, careful not to wake her. She's exhausted - completely drained. The rhythm of her breathing against my chest feels perfect. I plant a soft kiss on her forehead and carefully slide out of bed.

She doesn't stir as I lift her into my arms. Her body is warm against mine as I carry her to the bathroom. The Alpha's quarters in Moon Shadow Pack have their perks—the massive bathroom being one of them. I set her gently on the counter, supporting her with one arm while I start filling the tub.

"You're gonna feel better after this," I whisper, though I know she can't hear me.

The water rises, steam filling the room. I take my time washing her hair, massaging her scalp with slow movements. My fingers work through each tangle, careful not to wake her.

I clean between her legs, washing away the evidence of our passion. Phantom growls possessively inside me, but I push him back. This isn't about that.

Once the tub is full, I lift her again and lower us both in, positioning her between my legs, her back against my chest. The water envelops us, hot and soothing. This is perfect. Me, my mate, nothing but peace surrounding us.

I rest my chin on her head, thinking about our future. Aurora already adores her. Phantom stirs inside me, urging me to think about more pups. But I won't push that. When—if—we decide to have children together, it'll be a decision we make together.

I've made too many mistakes. Rushed things with Vanessa, who abandoned Aurora and me without a second thought. I won't make that mistake again. Aria deserves better. I'll give her time, space to adjust to pack life. She's stronger than anyone I've ever met.

The water ripples as Aria stirs. Her eyes open, finding mine immediately. She turns slightly, reaching up to touch my face.

"Jace," she whispers, voice soft. "No matter what our future holds, I'll stand by your side. Whatever happens."

Something in my chest breaks open. This woman—this fierce, beautiful woman—is promising herself to me. After all the danger I've put her in, she's still here. Still choosing me.

I lean down, capturing her lips in a deep kiss. I pour everything into it—all my promises, all my devotion. When we break apart, I press my forehead against hers.

"I don't deserve you," I whisper. "But I'm too selfish to let you go."

Aria smiles, tracing my jaw with her fingertips. "Good thing I'm not going anywhere."

I hold her tighter, knowing whatever comes next—human hunters, rival packs, Elder Thorn's schemes—we'll face it together. For the first time since becoming Alpha, I'm not alone.

"Think Aurora's awake yet?" she asks.

"Probably tearing apart the kitchen with Betty watching helplessly."

"We should go rescue him."

I growl playfully, tightening my arms around her. "The pack survived without us before. They can wait another hour."
