Chapter 33
~Kieran~
In the master bedroom of the red-brick mansion, moans evidently filled the air. Two bodies were tangled. They repeatedly called each other's names as their skins glowed in sweat.
Kieran controlled their lovemaking, moving back and forth while on top of Alexia. He maintained to kiss her while his hand often massaged her bosom.
"Alexia, fuck." He let go only to take a breather and cuss at the feeling of his manhood being buried inside his wife. "You feel so good."
Alexia was so tight, so fucking tight, that he feared he would cum sooner than he liked. Not only that, he felt she was sucking him in. The wetness around her walls also added to his arousal. He swore, and his member grew bigger inside of her. Thank the Goddess that she had fully adjusted. Earlier, pain reflected in her expression that he returned to kissing her, making her feel good and safe.
"Alexia, you feel amazing," he could not help but compliment her again. Instead of kissing her, he sucked on her neck and tasted the peaks of her breasts. He heard her moan and call his name. It gratified him, knowing he was the one giving her pleasure. "Tell me you want me, Alexia," he demanded. "Tell me you fucking want this every day of our lives."
He saw how her face turned red, and again, it gladdened him. He continued to do his job, thrusting his length in and out of her.
"Ahh, Kieran!" He slightly pulled back and shoved his manhood inside with a little force. "Ah, Kieran - I want you! I want you to make love to me every day - Ahhh! Ahh!"
Kieran sat up and held Alexia's waist. He knew he was coming, so he wanted to do it right. He said, "Bear with me a little, Alexia. I want to make sure all my seeds reach your womb."
He pumped harder and faster, but just enough not to hurt her.
The sounds of their slapping flesh echoed across the room, and not long before, Kieran's load erupted inside her. It gave him the most gratifying feeling of his life that he threw his head back, enjoying the moment. "Ahh, fuck."
It took seconds for him to return to his senses. When he did, he pulled out and lay next to her. He kissed her lips and squeezed her behind, wrapping his leg around her slender frame. After which, he said, "Alexia, I wanted to mark you badly, but I know it's unfair to you since you still cannot shift. However, I want you to know that anytime you want me to mark you, I will give up on whatever I am doing and make you mine, not just on paper, but make you part of my soul."
He saw a smile form on her lips. She kissed him and said, "I'll think about it, Kieran. Thank you for considering my feelings."
Kieran and Alexia stayed in each other's embrace for some time, simply listening to their hearts beating. Eventually, Kieran revealed, "I had asked my men to interrogate your father's old warriors. I could not get much information about your mother. The only thing I learned was how your mother was not a local. She came to the Cross River Pack as a visitor. Shortly after, she married your father. One elder in your pack said that your father and mother were true mates, so their courtship did not last long. They married after a month of being together."
"I see," Alexia said. "I did not know that part."
Then, she frowned, saying, "I could have sworn my mother mentioned dad was her second chance. Argh. I did not know what it meant back then. I was still young."
"One thing I find strange, though, is that no one knew your mother's wolf form," Kieran revealed. "It would have helped to look for your mother - send information to every pack in Taplean. I had planned to give all alphas a description of her, but all Ace noted was your mother's human form. How is that possible?"
"How about you, Alexia? Have you seen your mother in her wolf form?" Kieran asked.
Kieran studied as Alexia's eyes rounded. She was in deep thought, and he could tell by how she looked distantly. After a while, she answered, "No. I haven't. She was always busy taking care of me and performing her luna duties. Her duties did not involve much fighting since no one was interested in taking over our pack. She only took her runs whenever her father returned from his alpha responsibilities, but even that was not very often. My mother, she - she rarely shifted into her wolf form. When she did, I was never around her." "I see. It's strange and unfortunate at the same time," Kieran said. "But don't worry, Alexia. I won't give up until I find your mother."
Alexia kissed his cheek and said, "Thank you, Kieran."
"Well, we may not have much information about your mother, but we at least proved one thing." He turned to Alexia and smirked, saying, "You are not cursed."
Alexia laughed. Her smile melted his heart. She was so beautiful.
Seeing her genuine happiness made him hard again. He rolled on her while removing the blanket covering their frames.
"What are you doing?" Alexia asked.
"Let's test out the theory again. Let's find out if you really are cursed," he teased while holding Alexia's knees down. "The more we test it, the better. Wanna go at it all, knight?"
The couple skipped dinner altogether. Kieran and Alexia relished their first time, making love again and again. Their bodies intertwined until the wee hours arrived.
After they both came for the fourth time, Alexia dozed off in exhaustion. Kieran pulled her into his arms and followed her to sleep. However, before shutting his eyes, he whispered, "I love you, Alexia."
He said it so softly that only he could hear his confession.

The next day, Alexia got up early to cook breakfast. As she did, the maids and the chef were grinning at her like a fool. Some of them were whispering to each other while looking at Alexia. Lydia gave her a thumbs up, saying, "Congratulations, Luna Alexia."
She could not figure it out, not until Rae walked into the kitchen with that same look.
Alexia saw how Rae breathed in the air profoundly. She even walked up to Alexia and sniffed at her like there was no tomorrow. She exclaimed, "Goddess! Somebody finally had it!"
"What do you mean, Rae?" Alexia barked.
Behind them, she noticed Lydia giggling.
Rae chuckled as she leaned on the kitchen countertop. Then, while smiling from ear to ear, she mindlinked, 'You reek of Alpha Kieran. Heck! You might as well smell like him! How many times did you do it? Two, three? Or more?' Alexia's face burned. Her mouth hung open, understanding why everyone was looking at her weirdly. She was ashamed! The thing about being a werewolf, you could hide nothing which involved scents. 'Goddess!' Rae then pushed back Alexia's hair. She asked, "Has Alpha marked you yet?"
"Um. I'm still undecided on that," Alexia admitted. "I won't be able to mark him back until I get my fangs out."
"Right," Rae said. "I heard the alpha was jealous of Dean. If he has another reason to be jealous, though, he might be unable to hold back and mark you."
"Jealous men are like that. They want everyone to know who you belong to," Rae added. "I see no problem with it, though. Do you?
Unless you still want out of the net
marriage, I think it's totally
acceptable for Alpha Kieran to mark you. You simply need to wait."
Alexia figured out how Rae was counting the months. In less than eight months, she would turn twenty-one. Rae said, "About two hundred and twenty-five days before you can bite him back. It's not too much of a wait." A smile crept on Alexia's face. She replied, "Well, now that you presented it that way, it doesn't seem that long."
Rae nodded in agreement. She said, "Absolutely."
~Alexia~
The time finally came when Alexia and Kieran attended the annual ball. That year, the ball was held in a town closer to the capital, Hamlan. The Golden Eye Pack organized it.
The pack was named as such
because its leaders had golden eyes. It was generations and generations of the same bloodline that ruled the pack, similar to the Stone Blood
Pas alpha was Alpha Blaze, the
oldest ruling alpha of all of Taplean.
Kieran and Alexia had been staying in a hotel for a day to prepare for the ball. Seth, Sheena, and three other warriors came with them, hoping to find their true mate.
The ball was held at the most
enormous convention hall in town,
which stretched to almost a
bet
thousand square feet in area. Everyone was dressed in their best evening wear, and elegant jewelry pieces dangled on every woman's neck. It appeared to be a statement of wealth. It was no wonder why Kieran bought her a golden necklace with a pink heart-shaped diamond pendant.
She looked down at her necklace as they entered the banquet and speculated on its value. Then she turned to Kieran and asked, "Is this necklace expensive?"
"Not as valuable as you, my little wife," he said. "You are my true prize, not the thing around your neck."
'Awww.' Alexia smiled. She could really fall in love with her husband. 'Wait, maybe I already am in love with him.'
Alexia curled her arm around Kieran's. She pulled him down and whispered in his ear, "I've already decided. I want you to mark me."
Kieran let out a low growl. He said, "Let's get out of here."
