He gestures with his head at me to come to him and I do it without hesitation. I fall into his arms, almost knocking him over, and bury my face in his chest.
“Little Wolf,” he says into my hair with no anger left.
Chapter 48 – The Stakes Are High
It feels so weird to have a huge Alpha Rogue Prince in my childhood room, where I was dreaming about killing him one day, now that we are married and get along in our own twisted way. It feels kind of like dating your old crush.
“I don’t get why they are getting married. They are already marked and mated. Why didn’t they wait to mark each other until after the ceremony?” Cain is pacing around my room while I sit on my bed and observe him with curiosity.
And that feels like being a fifteen-year-old with a crush all over again.
“Okay, Grandpa,” I laugh inwardly at him, “The wedding is for us to celebrate them and for them to officially start their adult lives together. Legally. They marked each other when they found out they were mates, at, I don’t know, sixteen? Seventeen maybe? It was super early. They were still in high school.”
“Sixteen?” He stops pacing. “Aren’t you supposed to be mature for that crap?”
“Mature enough for maintaining the relationship, yes. But they have a very healthy union if I can say so myself, always had. Big on communication.”
“So, we are the only toxic pair here?”
I smirk at him, “Yeah, I guess.”
“Hey! You like me!” he points an accusatory finger at me.
“I do, Cain, I do like you.” I sigh and decide to tease him. “Sometimes, I don’t get why you can’t feel the true mate bond connection yet… But then I remember, you plan to kill her as soon as you know who she is, so maybe you really are not a good fit for a strong relationship, hm?”
“Oh,because you never lost the ability to feel your true mate after you already had it for years,” sarcasm is dripping from his tone while he starts browsing my drawers.
“You will keep it over my head for the rest of our lives, won’t you?”
He grins and slowly pulls out one of my bullet vibrators, along with some dirty ideas, I’m sure.
“Your Highnesses, I have questions,” Beta Lucifer bursts in without knocking. “Oh, Claudia always loved it when you used that on her.”
Cain shoots him a death stare and throws the vibrator back inside my drawer, mouthing ironic ‘thanks’ at his Beta. He opens another one.
Full of hunter-green sweat suits I used to wear at work.
“You know, Luna. When you said a true mate bond is similar to an Alpha bond. It’s not exactly, but… it makes me think. Is that why you two can mind link?”
Is he outing me?
“Excuse me?” I decide to act stupid on purpose, to save my life.
“I mean, is that why true mates can mind-link even in their human forms? You know, like normally only Alpha can, because it works like a bond with Alpha?”
Uf, what a relief, he meant generally notustwo!
“Um, not exactly. Mates can mind-link after they strengthen their bond by marking each other and nurturing the relationship,” I repeat a lie I heard all my life.
I could mind-link Cain long before he marked me because he is my true mate, right? There’s no more use in denying it. I mean, lying to myself, because I do have to deny it in front of everyone else.
Maybe it came to us quicker, and despite the fact he doesn’t know the truth, because we are both strong royal wolves, and we were getting along in all that nonsense drama…
I look up and notice them both staring at me with crossed arms. Does Beta even know I could mind-link Cain before the marking?
“What?” I shrug my shoulders.
“Chosen,yes, but how many not marked true mates do you know to repeat that bullshit of a lie?” Beta asks bluntly.
