The Lost Princess Of The Lycans Chapter 174: Pampering My Mate

King Rays POV

I had Sarah take off her T-shirt so that way I could give her back a massage and rub her body down. I knew she was sore after the abuse that she endured yesterday. She rolled onto her stomach. I then went and got the lotion out of the bathroom. I started with her shoulders. She had been carrying the world's weight on her shoulders all this time. They were so tense. I spent a good while on her shoulders, making them as relaxed as possible. I used my thumb to make little circles to get into her muscles. At one point, she jumped because I hit a sore spot. I then moved to the middle of her back this time.

I made a fist, put it sideways on her back, and made small circles with my fist to get into the muscles deeply. After ensuring that the middle of her back was relaxed, I then moved to the bottom of her back. I was careful here because of the bones that stick out. If you hit the bones, it wasn't very relaxing. It could be somewhat painful, but I did apply some pressure to get deep into the muscles that were not connected to the bones, and then I moved to her butt at first. She giggled as I massaged her butt, but even that was a muscle. After I got done with her butt, I then moved to her upper thigh.

I needed it like bread dough to ensure I got deep into the muscles. I then moved to her calf muscles, and she jumped almost entirely off the bed because I hit a sore spot. Poor girl. I knew her muscles hurt, and she desperately needed this massage. It wasn't long before I heard her breath. It was slow and steady. She had fallen asleep. I let her sleep. I didn't even bother to wake her up to do her front side.

She needed all the rest she could get because, in the morning, she would have a very emotional day. She wanted to attend the trials and execution against my better judgment. I was going to let her. She needed to see the people that hurt her get punished for what they did to her. I didn't know if any people in the dungeon hurt her except for Leeann.

I found it quite interesting that she suggested that Leeann be beaten instead of killed for her crime against Chrissy. I had not talked to Caleb about it, but I would mention it to him. This is the clan he was in charge of. Leeann couldn't be much older than Sarah. If I had to guess, I would think she's roughly the same age as her. I don't know if Caleb would let that slide because Chrissy is his mate.

If something like that had happened to Sarah, I would execute the person responsible for it. The only way to know is if I talked to Caleb and Chrissy. Because it was Chrissy's life that had been put in jeopardy, the laws are the laws, and they must be held up along with the punishment that goes with them. I could see Sarah's point of view as far as just beating her and then letting her live. From what I could gather about that, she was spoiled. She did date the former alpha son. She thought they were going to be mated and she would become Luna. I bet she was shocked when she learned that Junior and the alpha had been banished and that the former alpha had been killed at my hands.

I knew it must've been awful for that poor child to realize that she would never be Luna unless an alpha from another pack were mated to her. That could be a solution, too. I knew the Mesa Verde Clan, the alpha son, had not found his mate yet, and Leeann could be his second chance. So much to discuss with Caleb. I knew Sarah was trying to save her life, even though the poor little wench did not deserve it, but that was Sarah's heart. It was kind. It was brave. Even though that girl had gotten her beaten several times, she still had a heart. That's the difference between men and women. Women are kind, caring, and forgiving.

I put the lotion back in the bathroom and crawled into bed next to Sarah. I pulled her close and smelled her hair. I love the way she smelt my scent mixed with hers. Even though we didn't make love, she still smelled like me. After I had pulled her towards me, she placed her head on my chest and fell back to sleep. I sat there stroking her head and playing with her hair while she slept. I had difficulty falling asleep as I had a lot on my mind. We still had to visit other clans so that she could meet everyone because she still hadn't met every clan alpha or member.

I finally fell asleep. My alarm went off at six o'clock in the morning. I rolled over and patted Sarah on the butt.

" Time to wake up," I stated.

She covered her head and pretended to go back to sleep. I then quietly put my hand under the blanket, found her side, and tickled her. She was defenseless. She had no shirt on, and the blanket was the only thing to cover her. I then yanked the blanket off her and threw it on the floor.

"Ray," she squealed.

I laughed and then pretended to jump on her. I kept tickling her, and then I kissed her. She was screaming that I was not playing fair. But she was laughing with me. We were enjoying each other's company. We were acting like teenagers in love. It did not bother me, and it did not seem to bother her. I continued my assault by tickling her and kissing her. At one point, she was straddling me and trying to tickle me.

I grabbed her hands and rolled her onto her back. I was in between her legs and had her hands pinned against the bed with one of mine. The other one was tickling her. Finally, she started to say she had given up. I then lay down next to her and pulled her to me.

" I love you, beautiful," I stated.

" I love you too," she responded to me.

We lay there for a while and caught our breath. Then, there was an uncomfortable silence. We both knew what today was going to bring. I never looked forward to trials and executions. Sarah let out a sigh.

" What's wrong, baby?" I asked.

" I know I said that I wanted to attend the trials and executions, but I'm scared," she stated.

Why would she be scared? She wasn't the one on trial. Then it dawned on me there were going to be people there that had hurt her. I thought about it last night. But in our playing, I had forgotten about that. I enjoyed myself too much to concer4n myself with that. I then pulled her close to me. She laid her head on my chest, and I rubbed her back. She was shaking. I did not know if that was from being cold or if it was from fear. I was getting concerned about her emotional well being.

" Baby, are you sure you want to do this?" I asked.

" Yes, I am sure," she responded.
