The White Wolf Chapter 52: Keep Working

The second prisoner had not been as eager as the first to divulge information since the king had not said hello to him as he had the first one.

Having had to resort to using his trusty dagger. Have made slow shallow cuts that were causing the wolf to scream in pain till he ultimately remembered the same ramblings as the first had. Bustier seeing any significance.

Neither knew anything of the eastern kingdom either. A dead end. An unhappy answer for the king.

Gabe wiped the dagger clean with a cloth as he linked the king about what he had found it. He promised to keep working till they found more answers.

The words meant nothing but something at the same time.

Caspian contemplated the findings. The sweat still dripping his brow from his intense workout. He mulled over the words in his head.

Alexia was consumed with worry, not just for herself but for her brother. If Luca were to get hurt or worse, she would never forgive herself.

As her family departed the castle the next morning, she did her best appear fine.

She tried to mimic the ease in which Caspian portrayed. His features were schooled into a picture of calm and stability, even though she knew it was eating at him. An enemy he did not know and could not fight.

Avoiding eye contact with her mother, as her keen eyes would pick up on any slight emotion, she hugged and kissed her family goodbye.

“Be safe.” Her father cautioned her and then looked to her mate. “Take care of her.” He said firmly leaving no room for negotiation as he looked the king in the eye.

“Always” the king said with matched determination.

“My little baby” Shelia wrapped her arms around her eldest daughter.

“I’m right here!” Morgan cut in. Her face a little insulted.

“Oh you hush” Shelia said waving her off.

“At least now I know now who the favorite is around here.” A roll of the eyes from the youngest.

“I don’t have favorites.” An indignant Shelia.

“Just think, now she’ll have more time to focus on you and your life.” Alexia told her little sister. “Your hobbies. Dating. School.”

A grimace from Morgan. “Perhaps I’ll stay here.”

A chorus of “No” rang through the group causing Morgan to open and close her mouth.

“Call of us if you need anything.” Shelia said with emphasis on anything to her daughter. She tucked a loose strand of Alexia’s hair behind her ear before giving her one family embrace before turning to leave.

Caspian wrapped his arm around his mate as her family loaded into their vehicles.

With the departure, Alexia felt the weight of her position on her shoulders. No longer could she hide behind her parents. They would support her in anyway they could but now the young she wolf would have to pave her own way in the world.

The cars carrying her family and their escorts were barely out of sight before Judy had swiftly swooped in and whisked her away.

“Where are we going?” Alexia asked as she followed behind her mother in law, trying to keep up.

“It’s a surprise!” Is all her mother in law would only tell her. The vague words had Alexia letting out a humph.

She scrunched get eyebrows but continued to weave through the hallways. They past Caspian’s office but Judy carried on with her quest. The halls decorated in priceless works of art.

Eventually, she stopped in front of pair of wooden doors. “We’re here!” Judy said turning to Alexia with a smile on her face.

“What is it?” Skepticism leaking into the young queens voice. And eyebrow perched high.

“This” Judy said pushing through the doors. “Is your new office.”

Words evaded Alexia as she walked into the room. It’s high ceilings decorated with crown molding. Plush rugs adorning the floor. The walls covered in an ornate wallpaper and in the middle sat a grand wooden desk.

“This office hasn’t been used in years and it’s right down the hall from Caspian’s. There is a private bathroom and it has an adjoining office for your personal secretary. Which reminds me, we need to get you a personal secretary.” Judy’s thoughts drifting off to her to do list.

Alexia had commandeered the floor space of the bedroom for her research as it had never occurred to her that she may in fact need her own office. Caspian had his. She should have hers.

Running her fingers along the furniture, dust made contact with her skin. She held them up and examined the grey coating she now possessed.

“Anyway, decorate it as you like. This is your house after all.” An arm motioning to the space.

The weight of the words hit Alexia like a ton of bricks. The palace was her house. Her home.

Straightening her back she decided it time she got to work. “I think I should look for a secretary immediately.”

Over the next hours, Judy had her personal secretary pull various resumes. The ladies sorted through the stack of documents before deciding a few finalist to interview.

Calls were then made to interior decorators to assist her renovating her office. It amazed Alexia how a call from the palace could have people immediately sprinting to action.

By the end of the day, she had decided on new wallpaper, a fresh rug, and lovely furniture for her sitting area. The servants sat to work washing and cleaning the forgotten space.

Her feet were tired as she made her way to her room. Crawling into her bed, she snuggled into the soft comforter, wrapping it around her.

She had dozed off when Caspian entered. Her quietly readied himself for bed before slipping into the sheets beside her. His arms encaged her in his embrace as his body lined up with hers.

A kiss on the back of the neck. His nose nuzzling her skin.

She stirred from her slumber with a stretch. A smile on his lips from his victory. One that had evaded him most of the day.

Another kiss and she relented and turned to face her eager mate.

The elastic on her underwear moves as his hand dips beneath the fabric.

“Caspian” the word a moan and a plea. He continued his path of her body.

With his body pressed against hers she could feel him harden against her leg. Desire dripped from her.

“Caspian” she stirred. He obliged her by allowing his hand to her intimate area. His fingers made quick work, stimulating her whole body.

Her breaths quickened with his movements, her moans a song he could never tire of. It was no long before Caspian was ripping her underwear from her body and climbed on top of her. Their joining was quick and fast. Each finding their climaxes quickly.

In each other’s embrace they panted as they came down. With a kiss on the lips, Caspian rolled over. Finally able to sleep in peace with his mate.
