Mother walks over and steals my mate from me to join the other ladies of the court. Father walks over and checks my mate mark. “How are you holding up, son?”
Glancing over at Bella and my mother before I turn to face my father. “Did you tell her to kill her father?” As much as it’s fitting that she carried out the sentence, it’s still slightly cruel to me.
“No. She requested the honor as payback for all that he’s done to her and her mother over the years.” Father’s somber tone pulls at my heartstrings. “I cannot fathom how a father could be so cruel to a daughter. Females are rare and a gift.” He lovingly watches Bella and my mother share a dance. The smiles both women shares are incredible. Bella always wanted a loving mother; mom always wanted more daughters. As much as Ari is her daughter, Bella seems to be the favorite at the moment.
“It’s beautiful watching their relationship grow.” I motion to mom and Bella.
Derrick comes over and joins us before dad can say anything. “That was so freaky.” He’s a bit paler than usual and visibly shaken.
“What was freaky?” Glancing at dad then Bella before focusing on my beta.
“Grimshaw literally fell to the ground in a heap of ash before us. Seriously, like poof. No screams, no warning. Just a giant pile of ash.” Running his fingers through his hair, he looks around, then back again between dad and me. “How is that possible?”
Dad reaches out and rests a hand on Derrick’s shoulder. “The Queen of the Shadow Court carried out his execution.”
Derrick does a double take, looking between Bella and my dad. “How? She wasn’t down there?”
“There are a lot of things we have misunderstood about the Shadow Court. As well as a lot of things we have conveniently forgotten over time.” As Dad says that, Bella walks up and leans on my shoulder.
“What was forgotten?” She looks innocently around the ballroom at everyone dancing, then back between Derrick and my father. Deep in my chest, I can feel she already knows the answer to the question.
“The stories of the Shadow Court were not exaggerated,” my father says with a kind smile. Bella studies his expression, then nods.
“Father held his cards close to his chest, just like his father before him. It was better for the legends to speak for the court than for us to do it for ourselves,” Bella says calmly, her smile never faltering. Part of her is getting some sick, twisted enjoyment out of this.
“Oh,” Derrick says as he turns and quickly excuses himself.
Bella’s smile turns absolutely feral as she looks me up and down. “Dad, how much longer do we have to remain here?” Her fingers trace my pec, then down my sternum. I feel like a ruddy teen ready to blow my load in a second. I glance at the grandfather clock in the corner of the hall. It’s well past two in the morning and the party is still going strong.
“You two can depart whenever you’re ready,” Dad says as he kisses Bella’s cheek before walking away.
Bella looks around the hall and makes eye contact with my mother and waves goodbye to her. Mom’s eyes flair with recognition, then blushes and waves goodbye. Light pressure is applied to the center of my chest as Bella walks me backward to who knows where. Then I realize, she just pushed me into a dark corner. She keeps walking me backward till something hits the back of my knee. With a flick of her wrist, the lights turn on and somehow we’re in my bedroom. The sound of wood sliding on wood echoes as I watch my dresser move to block my door.
“Don’t look like such a frightened rabbit, Kaedyn.” Her sultry tone echoes in my ears as I turn to look at her. Bella’s dress seems to fall in slow motion, clinging to every curve on the way down her body. The confidence she extrudes is sexy as all hell as much as it is concerning. Stalking forward, I feel more like prey than predator. “Dont’cha feel it, Kaedyn? The pull of the bond. I feel your heartbeat as if it’s my own.” She runs her hands over her body, caressing every curve, peak and valley.
“I do feel it. Remember, there’s no rush. If you’re not ready, we don’t have to.” I’m not sure how worldly my mate is. But given what I know about her being sentenced to being guardian of the graveyard, I doubt that she’s dated.
Moving faster than I expect, she presses her palm flat against my chest, knocking me back onto the bed. The wind is knocked out of me for several moments. Catching my breath from the landing was easy, watching Belladonna strip away her bra and thong steals my breath again. Scars litter her ribcage, neck, and shoulders from battles in the past. Extending her index finger out, her nail shifts and becomes a claw. With deft precision, she slices my pants off me. I watch her nostrils flair taking in my scent and her eyes glow even brighter.
I feel frozen in place as I let my mate explore my body. Light nips are placed up my inner thigh. Every nip sends a bolt of need straight through my cock to the point it’s dripping pre-cum. “Bella, there’s no rush, sweetheart.” My voice wavers with every nip.
“Afraid of something, Kaedyn?” she says as her lips hover over my shaft. Her breath caressing my length.
My poor brain is short circuiting. I’m trying to be considerate of my mate, but my instinct is screaming at me to sink my cock as deep into her as I can get it. “Just trying to be considerate of you.” I pant the words out as I watch her tongue slip out of her mouth to flick over the head of my cock.
“Then give me what I want,” she states before capturing my cock in a kung-fu ninja death grip.
Gripping my shirt with two hands, I rip the dress shirt off my body. Bella squeals in delight before pressing me flat to the bed and grinding her molten core along my length. Her slick heat coats my length as she grinds harder on me. I’m damn near ready to explode if she keeps this up. Probably my biggest mistake to date is when I try to flip her onto her back. Bella is much stronger than I had expected. Her mouth goes straight to my throat, and she growls. In one quick movement she lines herself up, then impales herself on my length. I’ve officially died and gone straight to Heaven.
Bella finally removes her teeth from my throat and sits back, seating my length deep within her. A pleased moan escapes her lips before she starts moving. Every time I reach for her, she grips my hands and press them firmly to my chest, taking me hostage. “Baby, let me touch you,” I whine as I watch Bella ride me to her heart’s content.
“Soon…” Her words are strained, and I can tell she’s getting close. Her core is fluttering around my length with every stroke. “Kaedyn!” she screams and lets my hands go. Her hands slap down onto my chest as she grinds harder, chasing her peak as she rushes to the precipice.
Finally free, I flip us over and start to rut into her. Every thrust making my knot grow, ready to be seated deep within my mate. Bella’s clawing at my sides and back with every pulsing throb of her core milking at my length. Two more thrusts and I bury my knot, seating it deep in her. Every pulse of her orgasm drives me insane as I buck against her, driving her higher up the bed and deeper into the mattress. Her keening cries spurn the beast on. Just before I’m ready to cum, I reach up and sink my teeth into my mating mark again, sending us over the edge together. Every pulse and throb electrifying every fiber of my being. I feel Bella in my heart and soul. My wolf has its mate, and so do I.
As my thrusts slow down, Bella curls up toward me and sinks her teeth into my shoulder, sparking another orgasm. We crash over the edge with our teeth sunk into each other’s flesh. I swear I see the shadows in the room start to whip around wildly out of the corner of my eye. Releasing Bella’s shoulder, I kiss and lick the wound I have created. Carefully, I lower myself onto my elbows and cradle Bella’s head till she finally releases my shoulder. Her tongue laves over the wounds. Every lick goes straight to my balls. If I wasn’t so spent, I would definitely go for round two immediately.
A deep rumble escapes Bella’s lips as she lays back and looks at me from under hooded eyes. A slow, content smile creeps across her lips. Leaning down, I gently sip at her lips. Her rumbles become louder and when her eyes open, I see the human color under the glow for once. Her eyes are a blend of a ghostly gray with emerald flecks in it. The flecks seem to ebb with power as she looks me over. “I love you, Kaedyn.” Her whispered words hit harder than her alpha bark.
