My Alpha's Wolfless Daughter
My Alpha’s Wolfless Daughter – Chapter 39

Future Beta Nate

I was anxious about leaving Ayla’s side. I didn’t fully trust anyone with Ayla’s life except me. And I think Xander felt the same way. We were both fidgeting until Ayla walked into the dining room with Prince Silas. I could feel her relief as she walked over to me. She kissed my cheek before taking the seat beside me.

“Ayla, what’s the plan?” Xander asked her, he was sitting across from us.

“Rest, for now. We can come up with a plan in the morning.” She answered him, and I rested a hand on her thigh.

Ayla was about halfway done with her plate when she yawned. I could feel her exhaustion and she was having a hard time keeping her eyes open. I had already had two plates and was finally feeling full. Being cold takes a lot out of you.

“Should we take it to go?” I asked Ayla. She leaned her head on my shoulder and was chewing with her eyes closed.

“No, I’m okay.” She mumbled. And Xander and I chuckled.

“Come on, princess. I’ll have someone show you and your wolf toy to your room.” Prince Silas told us. Duke let out a growl, not liking his nickname that seemed to be sticking.

“Touchy, are we?” Prince Silas teased and I pushed my lips in a line.

“More like annoyed.” I huffed, shaking my head.

Ayla’s head slumped on my chest and I knew she was sleeping.

“Does she do this often?” Prince Chase chuckled and I shrugged.

“More than you think it does. But she’ll be up in a few hours starving again.” Xander informed us. I felt a pang of jealousy from how well Xander knows my mate.

“So, I should have a midnight snack waiting?” I asked him and he nodded.

“Probably a good idea. She is scary hangry. If she knew where the kitchen was, I wouldn’t have worried, but we shouldn’t have her wandering around in the middle of the night,” Xander said.

“James will show you to your room. And can you also make up a snack for our sleeping princess?” Prince Silas asked one of his staff. He nodded to the prince before turning his attention to me.

“Sir, will you please follow me.” I pushed my chair out and moved my mate in my arms so I could carry her to our room. Once I was standing, she snuggled into my chest, causing Duke to purr in my head.

After saying night to the others, I followed James through the palace. This place looked more like a stone log cabin. It was warm and inviting. I can see why Ayla feels comfortable here. Surprisingly, I do as well. It feels familiar, like my cabin back home.

After a few flights of stairs, James finally stopped at a set of double doors. He opened one of the doors for me and bowed his head.

“The room has been fully stocked with clothes and everything else you might need. I’ll have someone from the kitchen prepare some food for the princess and have it sent up immediately.” I thanked him before stepping into the room and he closed the door behind me,

The room was beautiful as I walked towards the bed to lay Ayla down. I chuckled when Ayla didn’t even move as I placed her down. She was out like a light. I covered her with a blanket before I looked around the room. There was a fire blazing in the fireplace, in front of the sitting area.

There were floor-to-ceiling windows that exposed the balcony with a pool. I guess with them being mermaids the pools make sense. The view was spectacular, as I looked past the balcony. I haven’t seen the southern kingdom, but I don’t think it will be able to top this.

“Maybe we can move here with Ayla,” Duke chimed in.

“As much as I like it, I don’t want to have Prince Silas as a neighbor,” I told him.

“Why? I think he likes you.” He chuckled.

“Really?” I exclaimed.

“What? Ayla could always share you with the prince.” Duke laughed and I blocked him out before I shivered.

I’m not against being gay or whatever you want to be, but I’m not. I like women, but I have a feeling Prince Silas would be okay with crossing that line. Good for him, but it won’t be with me.

I was in the closet when there was a soft knock on the door. I answered it to find a young lady, holding a tray. She quickly averted her gaze.

“For the princess, sir.” She stammered out.

“Thank you,” I told her, taking the tray. She bowed her head and quickly walked away.

I was still wearing clothes. Was I really that scary? I thought as I closed the door behind me. I placed the tray on the side table, close to Ayla. She still hadn’t moved as I walked back into the closet to retrieve a pair of boxers. I was going to have a quick shower before I crawled in beside my mate.

“I think she liked you.” Duke snickered. And I rolled my eyes.

“Have women always acted that way around us?”

“Yes, but you never noticed. Always in your own little bubble. Not that I blame you. The only one worthy of our stares is our mate. But you could have been better during your high school days.” Duke growled that last part, clearly annoyed with anyone but our mate touching us.

“I was allowed to be curious, and it never went further than oral.” I rolled my eyes. He huffed, clearly not happy with me.

I headed into the bathroom and turned on the shower. While the water warmed, I stripped off my clothes. The bathroom was luxurious, all done in white and gold marble. The shower could fit at least four people and there was a corner jetted tub.

After I was done showering, I pulled on the boxers before climbing in beside Ayla. She still hadn’t moved and I chuckled when I noticed the bit of drool dripping down the corner of her mouth.

“Mate is so wonderful,” Duke purred.

“We got so lucky,” I told him, snuggling into her. She startled me when she licked my chest before snuggling her face into me.

“What was that?” I asked Duke as he just purred.

“Even in her sleep, she scented us. So perfect.” He gushed over our mate.

She is so perfect, I thought as I cuddled closer, wrapping my arms around her. It was easy to fall asleep with her in my arms.

Ayla

I woke up with my tummy grumbling. I don’t remember falling asleep, I thought as I opened my eyes to find Nate. He was sound asleep beside me. He was lying on his back, and I took a moment to run my fingertips over the hardened muscles of his chest and stomach. His body was absolute perfection, and I licked my lips.

My stomach growled again and it pulled me from my naughty thoughts of me and Nate. Sighing, I rolled away from my mate to find a tray on the nightstand. Awe, Nate is so sweet. I scooted to the edge of the bed and pulled off the lid to find a couple of turkey sandwiches, cut veggies, and fruit. Also, a couple of bags of chips and bottles of water. My stomach growled again and I rolled my eyes at its impatience. I’m going, you’d figure I never eaten before.

I picked up one of the sandwiches and made my way to the windows to enjoy the magnificent view. There was no moon, so the stars brightened the night instead. If I could pick, this is what heaven would look like. A beautiful lush forest with the ocean crashing in the distance.

I quietly stepped out on the balcony and the cool breeze caused me to shiver. I was still in clothes from earlier but it was a lot colder than it was. I moved to the railing and rested my elbows against it while I took bites of my sandwich. The air here calmed me in a way I haven’t felt since I met Nate. The scent of pine mixed with the saltiness of the sea.

I jumped when arms snaked around my waist, dropping the remainder of my sandwich over the balcony. Nate snuggled his face into my neck while I whined about my lost sandwich.

“Baby, it’s cold. Is everything okay?” Nate’s voice came out, husky from sleep and I was instantly wet.

“I was just hungry. Thank you for leaving food for me.” I told him and he sighed.

“Honestly, it was Xander who mentioned you would be hungry again, around midnight. Since you fell asleep eating dinner,” he told me and I g*****d.

“Well, that’s embarrassing.” I snorted and then I covered my mouth, embarrassed about the sound I had just made. Nate chuckled, pulling me back into his chest.

“Come on, let’s get you back to bed. It’s cold out here.” Nate said, and I turned in his arms to find him only wearing his boxers.

“That’s because you are almost naked,” I smirked.

“And there’s more food in there.” He shrugged and I sighed.

“Fine, but only because you made me drop my sandwich.” I pouted and he chuckled.

“You can have mine.” He said, pulling me inside, where it was toasty warm.

I climbed back into bed, under the warm blanket. Nate placed the tray between us before climbing under the blanket himself. I started popping some fruit into my mouth while Nate was watching me intently.

“Yes, my love?” I asked him before shoving a piece of melon into my mouth.

“How are you feeling?” He sighed.

“Hungry, but besides that, I’m okay. Maybe we should move to a place away from the palace? I wouldn’t want to blow out the side.” I told Nate, feeling guilty, once again.

“Sweetheart, whatever happened, you didn’t mean to. You’re not a bad person, why do you keep believing that you are?” Nate said, resting his hand on my thigh.

“I try not to be a bad person, but it seems like no matter what I do, I’m hurting someone,” I confessed.

“Is this because of the chopper or your mother?” He asked and I sighed.

“The thought of hurting you and the others was terrifying. Especially since I couldn’t control it. And with my mother, it was my choice to walk away. I don’t think I’ll ever be satisfied with the answers she can give me.” I answered with a shrug.

Nate moved the tray to the nightstand before pulling me down to his side. I rested my head on his chest while inhaling his scent. There are so many emotions I wish I hadn’t felt. I felt worthless and dangerous. My own mother didn’t want me, so how can I expect anyone else to? It was better when I believed my mother to be dead.

“Baby, stop it. I love you. And I want you.” Nate comforted me while drawing circles on my back.

“I love you, Nate. I’m sorry. I want to be selfish with you, but I keep thinking you can do so much better than me.” I sniffled. And Nate squeezed me tightly.

“Then be selfish because you might think I can do better than you, but I know I can’t. I know things are upside down right now, but it will get better. My life is already better now that I have you.” Nate kissed my head.

“Promise?” I whispered.

“Promise.” He said with so much conviction, it warmed my heart. I kissed his chest before snuggling closer to him.

“Get some sleep baby.” He mumbled before he kissed my head again.

With that, I closed my eyes and pushed all the negativity from my mind. I’m not a bad person and I can do this. I have to do this.

Future Beta Nate

“f**k baby,” I g*****d, half asleep. My voice came out husky.

Sparks caused goosebumps to cover my body as Ayla licked up my chest. She gave the best wake-up calls and when I opened my eyes, she was looking up at me, now naked. Her a*s was in the air as she left open-mouth k****s over my abs.

“Baby,” I hissed when she gently bit down on my shaft through my boxers.

I bucked my h**s up, while my hands found the back of her head, lacing my fingers through her hair. Ayla smirked up at me while she slid down my boxers. My c**k sprung free and she licked a line from my balls, up the shaft to the tip. When her tongue licked the precum, Ayla let out a m**n as she licked her lips.

I pushed myself up until my back was up against the headboard and kicked off my boxers before I pulled Ayla up against my chest. Her gasp turned into a m**n as my c**k slid into her dripping folds. She threw her head back as she rolled her h**s down into me.

“f**k, Nate.” Ayla m****d as my lips assaulted her neck and chest. I g*****d against her neck as she picked up her pace, her fingers digging into my shoulders.

Her n*****s hardened as I nipped at my mark on her neck. I lifted her with one of my hands on her a*s as my other grabbed my throbbing c**k. I rubbed the tip against her clit before positioning myself at her entrance. Her wetness coated my c**k as Ayla sat back sheathing me deep inside her core.

Her gasps turned into m***s as her h**s became flush with mine. Her walls clamped down around my girth and I took one of her n*****s into my mouth as my hands kneaded her a*s.

“You feel so good, baby.” I g*****d as Ayla rolled her h**s. Everything this woman did was driving me wild.

Her m***s turned into screams as she picked up her pace. Ayla’s nails dug almost painfully into my shoulders as she bounced on my c**k. Ayla screamed my name as her wall pulsated. I g*****d, releasing deep inside her when she bit down hard on her mark on my neck.

“f**k, baby,” I g*****d, trying to catch my breath. Ayla pulled her teeth from my neck and licked over the fresh mark, causing me to shiver and my d**k to twitch inside her.

“My queen of awesome wake-up calls.” I breathlessly chuckled.

“Can you blame me? Look at how sexy my mate is.” She giggled, trying to catch her breath, and she rested her forehead against mine. I wrapped my arms around her. I pecked her lips as I held her tightly.

“How are you feeling?” I asked her and she sighed.

“I’m better when we are in our little bubble.”

“But you should be getting some answers today, so that’s a plus. And then, whenever you are ready, we can head home.” I told her and she nodded.

“And where is home?” She asked as I stared into her beautiful grey eyes.

“Wherever you want it to be. As long as I’m with you, I’m home.” I told her before my lips touched hers.

She licked the seam of my lips, deepening the k**s, I thrust my tongue into her mouth to play with hers. Her taste was addicting, as I tasted every inch of her mouth. Ayla rolled her h**s and I swallowed her m***s as I was still buried deep inside her, still hard as a rock.

I flipped us, so I was on top of her before I slammed back into her dripping p***y. She cried out as I thrust hard, burying my face into her neck. Ayla wrapped her legs around my waist and her arms around my neck.

She was gasping and moaning as I picked up my pace, chasing my release.

“f**k, Nate,” Ayla screamed, throwing her head back into the bed. Her walls pulsated around me again, clutching tighter than before.

I let out a g***n as I sunk my teeth into her neck, remarking her as mine. Ayla was always going to be mine. Goosebumps covered my body as I came deep inside her. Removing my teeth, I licked over the mark, and she shivered beneath me.

“f**k, you’re perfect.” I breathed out, trying to catch my breath.

“You’re not so bad, yourself, babe.” She giggled before I pecked her lips.

I g*****d when a knock sounded at our door. I looked out the window, to see the sun just starting to rise. Who could be bothering us this early?

I jumped off of my mate, grabbed my boxers, and pulled them on before I made my way to answer the door. Ayla covered herself with a blanket as I opened the door to find the young lady from yesterday. She gasped before averting her eyes.

“I’m sorry to disturb you, sir. Breakfast will be served in an hour.” She rushed out, bowing her head, she hurried away down the hallway.

“Looks like you have a fan club forming,” Ayla giggled.

I closed the door and looked back at my mate, who was barely covered with the blanket. She was sitting with her back against the headboard, playing with her lips as I stalked toward her.

“If you keep looking at me like that baby, we will never leave this room.” I purred, climbing on top of her.

“She did give us an hour. I’m sure we can find something to fill the time.”
