Page 74 of Her Destined Alpha
“In that bag,” she murmured, pointing to a bag that sat on the bedside table as she sat up, one arm teasingly covering her breasts. Her cheeks were tinged pink. I got off the bed, grabbed the bag, and took thebandage out.
“Arms up, Kitten,” I murmured. She obeyed, turning away, and I began wrapping the bandage around her tightly. Her wounds should be healed considerably by the next day. Although I knew she wouldn’t heal as fast as a werewolf, she would still heal faster than normal. Once her torso was wrapped in the gauze, I wrapped it around her shoulders and tied it firmly. “All done.” She turned towards me, taking hold of my chin and kissing my lips softly, surprising me.
“Thank you,” she said.
I smirked, pulling her into my arms and holding her tightly before lifting her up and getting into bed. I pulled the blanket that smelt rather dusty over her slender shoulders. She was cold to the touch too.
She tensed as I settled her against me, and I loosened my grip. If she wanted to pull away, I wanted her to know she would be able to. After a moment, she relaxed, resting her head against my chest despite her racing heart.
“As much as I just want to hold you and let you sleep, I need to know what happened. We need a plan.” She nodded. Her eyes were filled with curiosity as she looked at me.
“And how did you get in here? You’ve got magic around you…”
“Well, it seems you aren’t the only witch in my life,” I said softly, brushing her hair off her face. “It’s a long story…”
“I have all night,” she whispered, biting her lip.
“Well then... allow me to go first,” I murmured. My hand stroked her ass, pressing her into me.
I took a deep breath as I began to explain everything that had happened; about Raihana, about the grimoires. It was difficult to speak of Endora, and the unspoken truth that it was my grandmother who had tortured her... I knew at some point we would need to address it, but it was not the time.
After I was done, she told me what happened, about what the elders said, and I couldn’t help but agree that there was more to it. They were up to something, but what? I wasn’t sure.
“So… what now?” she asked when she finished telling me how she was told to wake up early to cook.
“We need to see if your powers can be unlocked. That spell Endora used, isn’t there a chance it could be in the grimoires we have in our possession?” She shook her head.
“She burned the spell in front of me. It was part of a grimoire, but she told me she wasn’t stupid enough to leave it lying around.”
Fuck, so she had been careful...I’ll deal with that after we were out of here. As for getting out, I had a few ideas. I sat up, placing my thumb to my lips.
“This is what we are going to do…”
It was morning.I still had plenty of hours left before Raihana’s spell wore off, so I would make the most of it and see if I could get any information from the Coven itself. Delsanra had told me that she would be okay without me and that she actually felt a lot better. I could tell she wasn’t lying, thanks to some colour returning to her face.
“Promise me you’ll eat something,” I whispered, gripping her waist as she tried to leave the room. Her heart was racing as she looked up at me.
“And what about you?” she asked, slowly wrapping her arms around my neck. I still couldn’t believe my mate was accepting me…
“I’ll eat you later,” I winked suggestively. She pulled away, her cheeks tinged pink as she turned, grabbing the key in the door. I took her elbow, spinning her around. “Hey… only if you want me to,” I whispered with a sexy smirk.
“I… excuse me. Make sure you’re careful…” she muttered, not meeting my eyes.
Even that morning, when I had kissed her, she had been super embarrassed.I think with a fresh mind, she seemed to have realised what she had done last night…I stepped out, and she locked the door behind us, pocketing the key.
“Don’t put silly ideas in your head,” she muttered with a frown before she walked off.
Oh, Kitten... you really will beg me to eat you out soon enough.
I licked my lips, my eyes fixed on her ass as she walked away. My trousers felt painfully tight right then.
Fuck.

Ihadn’t been able to focus on anything properly sincemorning. I had awoken wrapped up in his arms, and the realisation of what happened last night had hit me like a freight train. I had been tired, weak, and in pain; in that state, I had told him I liked him. It wasn’t a lie... but the fact that I admitted it terrified me.
