The Alpha King's Rebellious Queen
The Alpha King’s Rebellious Queen Chapter 37

Jemma’s POV

I dreamt of frolicking in a field of flowers with my son Nicholas and the blonde-haired twins I had seen before. Nicky looked to be about ten years old, and he looked every bit like Jeremy. He seemed overjoyed to be playing with two. The twins were overjoyed to be with Nicky. Their violet eyes looked back at me as they paused in their game. The sun was shining, and birds were chirping. It was like this field was my entire life. My three children and bliss then a shadow fell over me, and I looked to see Cassius standing just behind me looking proudly at the playing pups. Nicky looked back at us and waved. “Hi Mom, Hi Dad.” He shouted to us. I looked and did not see Jeremy anywhere around us. Why was he calling Cassius ‘Dad’?

Then the dream shifted to the dark place I had been before. Searing pain coming from my arms as I was chained with silver. My body felt weak as wolfsbane coursed through me. A sinister voice cackled in the shadows as I felt the b***d in my body go cold, and then there was nothing but darkness.

My eyes flew open, and I was relieved to be in my bed with my back snuggled against the man I love. His hot breath blew onto my neck, comforting me. His strong arms held me tight as he snored softly. Sighing, I tried struggling to free myself of his protective hold. He eventually g*****d sleepily, and the hold was loosened. I moved out of his hold and sat up. My head was spinning as I tried to shake the last part of the dream. It had been reoccurring that last few days. I looked over at Cassius, and he had the funniest smirk on his face. His brown hair was ruffled as his arms were against his chest. I grabbed my phone and smiled as I opened up the camera. A soft laugh erupted from me as I took several pictures of the King of Werewolves in such a state. A blue eye opened and looked at me.

“Did you just take a picture of me?” He grumbled sleepily.

I hid my phone behind my back. “No.” I snickered.

He rolled onto his side with both eyes now narrowed at me. “I heard the camera clicking noise.”

Shrugging my shoulders, “Okay, maybe I did. But you looked so adorable.”

“Those pictures better not end up on any social media page.” He rolled onto his back and closed his eyes again.

I lay my head on his chest and circled my finger on his well-muscled abs. I liked how his skin felt against his rock hard muscles. This Adonis was all mine. “Oh, I don’t know. They might.” I snickered.

“It’s against the law to take pictures of the king while he’s sleeping.” He ran his hand through my hair.

“Is it now?” I laughed.

“I’ll make it so.” He sighed. “I, King Cassius, deem it against the law to take photos of the king while he slumbers.” He chuckled.

I just laughed at him as I traced my hand down his muscled body and gently gripped his c**k. “You can’t just make up laws,” I ran my hand up and down, feeling him grow hard.

“I’m the King, and I can do whatever I want.” He m****d as I lowered my head to k**s the tip of his shaft.

“You may be the king, baby. But I am the one in complete control.” I said as I licked up and down his shaft while looking up at his face. His hand gripped my hair as I took his entire length into my mouth.

“No argument here,” He m****d as I deep throated the tip. “Oh f**k, Jemma.”

I increased my speed as I sucked and licked while my hand gently massaged his balls. “I have complete control, King Cassius.” I flashed him an evil smile. He nodded. I stopped sucking and just gripped his c**k. “No, I need you to say it.”

His mouth fell open. “You are an evil woman. You know that, right?” He growled.

“Say it, Cassius, or I will let go and leave you to finish this blow job yourself.”

His lips pulled back in a snarl. “You have complete control, Queen Jemma.”

“That a boy.” I smiled as I licked the tip before I deep throated him again. He bucked his h**s as my speed increased. He began thrusting into my mouth as he held the back of my head. The other hand was massaging one of my breasts.

He stopped thrusting and pulled my head up. “I want to finish in that p***y of yours. Can’t waste this precious seed.” He smirked as I crawled on top of him and straddled him. I teased his c****d by rubbing myself over it. He growled and grabbed my h**s to stop me. “Ride me, Jemma.”

I smiled at I lifted up and then positioned him at my entrance and slowly lowered myself down until his length was completely inside me. I began to rock my h**s as his arms wrapped around my body. Our lips met as he began to thrust into me. We m****d together as our bodies became one. “Fill me with your seed, Cass. Make us a pup.” I grasped his arms and held them to the bed as I bounced on top of him. His hands lightly gripping my h**s.

He rose from the bed till he was in a sitting position. I kept rocking my h**s as his tongue circled my n*****s. I m****d as he lightly nibbled each mound. Then in a swift, unexpected movement, he flipped us over and pinned me to the bed. He held my arms down as he attacked my lips with his. His eyes black with l**t. “Well, good morning Enoch,” I said to his wolf.

A low growl rolled out of him as he bit my lower lips to force his tongue into my mouth. “Good morning, mate,” A deep voice greeted me that was not Cassius’s.

Leonora purred happily in my head as she heard her mate’s voice. His hands held mine over my head as he began to thrust harder into me, making the bed shake and squeak. I m****d loudly as he nibbled my ear and then down my neck to my mark. “Oh, Enoch. You wild boy, you.”

“Quiet,” He growled as he placed a hand on my throat and applied pressure. His other hand continued to grip my hands over my head. His g****s became more and more animalistic as his thrust became harder and almost painful.

I screamed out as I felt my walls clench around him. My legs wrapped around his h**s as I m****d out my o****m. Enoch answered with a wall-shaking growl as he thrust hard into me before spilling his hot seed into me. He released my hands and collapsed onto my chest. I watched as his eyes turned blue again as Cassius was given back control.

He wrapped his arms around me. “I am so sorry, baby. Enoch forced himself forward. Did he hurt you?” He kissed me lightly on the lips.

“No,” I shrugged.,” well, maybe a little. But I like a little pain.” I smiled as he continued kissing me lovingly. I ran my hand through his hair. “Do you feel rested after yesterday?”

“I slept like a rock thanks to having my mate in my arms.” He rolled off of me and laid beside me. He buried his head on my neck and inhaled. “Please wake me up like that every morning.”

“I’ll try.”

Sighing, he sat upon the bed. “We should probably get up and get dressed.” He looked at the clock. It was six am. “F**k.” He growled as he rose from the bed. “It’s going to be another long day.”

“What do you need me to do?” I asked him.

He sighed. “Well, the first thing we have to deal with the parents of Ainsley’s mate, and then I have to catch up with Deke and Maria on the Red River situation.”

“And I’ll be there at your side the entire time,” I rose from the bed and lightly gripped his arm.

He ran his hand down my cheek. “I wouldn’t have it any other way, love.”

“Cass, am I in trouble?”

He c****d his head. “For what?”

I took a deep breath. “For what happened yesterday.”

“A lot of stuff happened yesterday, so you will have to be more specific.” He started walking towards the bathroom.

“Um, the thing that happened at the mall.” I hated to anger him after he had just had hot s*x. But I needed to know.

He took a deep breath and leaned against the marbled wall of the bathroom. “You did attack that she-wolf, did you not?”

“Yeah. I did. But that was after she provoked me by talking crap about Nicky. Ask Ainsley or Delilah what happened. They were there.”

“I will.”

“That b***h has been antagonizing me for years.”

He pulled me into his arms. “And she is a member of your father’s pack?”

I nodded. “She is the daughter of a warrior. She had always acted high and mighty, especially when she started sleeping with Iain. I got into it a lot with her because she would pick on Tiffany a lot.”

“Hmm, well, I’ll need to talk to your father and confirm some of what you said.”

“You would have better luck talking to my mother and the Beta female Elizabeth. They were the ones usually having to break up our squabbles.”

He sighed. “Look, I may have to take some disciplinary action against you because I can’t have my queen beating up kingdom subjects.”

“Oh, I’m sorry.”

“Don’t worry. It will be something like picking up trash around the palace grounds or something like that.”

“Oh dear, not picking up trash.” I fake whined as I walked over to the shower and stepped in, and turned it on. Seconds later, I was pinned to the wall as his lips crashed onto mine. “I take that you are joining me?”

He growled lowly. “Don’t I always?”

After another long and very hot shower, we emerged from the steamed-up bathroom wrapped in towels. We entered the closet and began picking out our outfits for the day. I settled on dark blue dress pants with a white buttoned-up shirt and a dark blue jacket, and black heels. I then braided my hair. Cassius put on a black suit with a light blue shirt with a blue and white striped tie. He slicked back his brown hair. I looked him up and down as he admired himself in the mirror. “Your Queen approves.” I wrapped my arms around him from the back and rested my cheek on his back, and inhaled his scent. My stomach rumbled with hunger.

“We better get downstairs and grab breakfast before Alpha Reynolds and his mate arrive.” He sighed and clasped my hand, pulling me in front of him. He kissed my lips while looking deep into my eyes. “Goddess, you have the most beautiful eyes.”

He released me, and then we walked out of our room and down the hall to the elevators. Terry and Izzy were standing there in tense silence. “Good morning, Mom, Dad.” Cassius greeted them. “How did you sleep?”

“Don’t start, Cassius.” His mother grumbled.

He shrugged. “Don’t start, what? Mother, I was only saying good morning.”

Izzy growled lowly as the door to the elevator opened, and we walked in. She looked like she hadn’t slept a wink last night. She wasn’t wearing her usual elegant threads. Dressed in a pair of jeans and a white button up shirt.

“Dad?” Cassius said to his father. “Are you alright this morning?”

Terry merely stood and stared silently at the doors of the elevator. “I’m fine, Cassius.” He said in a monotone voice. The tension in the elevator could be cut with a knife.

The doors slid open, and we all walked towards the dining room in silence. I felt the eyes of the guards and servants on us as we walked by. I swear I heard the whispers as she spoke about what happened the night before, how the princess was found to be sleeping with a vampire, how she rejected her mate. We reached the dining room and everyone already seated rose to their feet. Terry and Izzy walked to their seats as Cassius, and I took our place at the head of the table. “Good morning, everyone. I hope you all had a good weekend. I know mine was rather interesting. So let’s eat.” He then sat down, and the omegas brought out breakfast. It was a simple breakfast of bacon, eggs, and hashbrowns with toast. I noticed Ainsley was absent from the table.

“Good morning, Jemma.” My brother greeted me from down the table. “I heard you had a fun day yesterday.”

I shrugged casually. “You could say that.”

“Yeah, we found out Ainsley is dating a vampire,” Delilah blurted out, which elicited a growled from Terry.

I shook my head at her in an attempt to get her to change the subject.

“And then her mate just happened to be there,” Delilah continued down a dangerous path. “Casper Reynolds of all wolves, too.” She laughed and looked over at me.

I had a fake smile on my face as Terry was still growling. “Yes, that was very interesting.”

My sister-in-law didn’t seem to get the hint and kept digging herself deeper. “I can’t believe she wants a vampire over Casper.”

Terry’s growls grew louder as I watched him snap the fork he was holding in half. I looked at my brother. ‘Iain, get your pregnant mate out of here before Terry explodes.’ I mind linked him.

My brother looked at the former king and then nodded at me. ‘Yeah, I’ll do that.’ He stood up and grabbed Delilah. “Babe, w-we have to go.”

She glared at him. “But I’m not done with breakfast. I wanted to talk some more about yesterday.”

Terry was on his feet with a murderous glare on Delilah. Iain’s eyes widened, and he picked up his mate and dragged her out of the dining room while she screamed in protest. Cassius stood up and placed his hand on Terry’s chest.

“Dad, calm down.” He and his father locked eyes. Terry’s eyes went from blue to black and then back to blue before he slowly sat down. Cassius sat down and continued eating. “It’s weird how you and your brother do that silent communication thing.” He said quietly to me.

“Oh, just now. I mind linked him.”

“I didn’t know you could still do that with him,” Cassius sounded genuinely curious.

I shrugged as I chewed on a piece of bacon. “It’s a twin thing. We have been mind linking each other since we were in utero.” I explained to my very interested mate. “Our wolves have been communicating since we were conceived and still can communicate with each other.”

“Even though you are both mated?” Izzy chimed in with a question. Clearly, she, too, was trying to quell the tension in the room.

I nodded. “Yes, twins are bonded in a special way like mates, or that’s what my mother told us.”

Izzy sipped her coffee. “Is there a chance you and Cassy will have twins?”

“There is an excellent chance of that, Izzy. Considering I am a twin. My mother is a twin, and her father was a twin. It goes way back.” I explained.

Izzy squeezed Terry’s hand. “Did you hear that, Terry? We could have twin grandpups on the way. Wouldn’t that be wonderful?”

He just shrugged and stood up. “Cassius, inform me the minute Alpha Reynolds arrives.” He grumbled and then left the room.

“So, he is still angry about last night,” I said to her.

Izzy snorted. “Oh, you caught that.”

“Do you blame him?” Cassius spoke up. “His only daughter is in love with a vampire.” He shuddered. “I don’t think I could handle it if we have a daughter and she falls in love with a vampire.”

I shrugged. “As long as he treats her right.”

Cassius growled. “Jemma, you can’t be serious?”

“I am. If our hypothetical daughter found happiness with a vampire, then I would not get in the way of that.” I knew he didn’t like that answer when he dropped his fork and ran his hand over his face. “I thought we liked the vampires now.”

He stiffened. “My father forged an alliance with King Romulus in the name of peace between species and to shut up the Hunters. We allow peaceful vampires in this kingdom, and King Romulus allows peaceful werewolves into his. That doesn’t mean I want there to be mixed mates. It’s just not natural.”

I rolled my eyes. “We can’t always help who we fall in love with, Cassius.” I threw down my napkin and stood up. “Excuse me.” I started to leave but was stopped when Cassius grabbed my hand. “Let me go, Cass. I need to go cool off.”

“I didn’t mean to upset you,” he said with a slight frown.

I turned to him and kissed his cheek. “Mind link me when the Smoky Mountain alpha arrives, okay.”

He nodded, and I turned and walked out of the room. I decided to check on Ainsley. While waiting by the elevator, I tapped my foot and hummed a Tom Petty song. The doors slid open, and I walked in and leaned against the wall. Once opened, I walked in the direction of Ainsley’s room. Her room was on the same side as Terry and Izzy’s room. I knocked on her door. “Ainsley?” I called her name to no answer. “Ainsley, it’s Jemma.” I still heard no answer, so I turned the knob and was surprised it was unlocked. I poked my head into her room. It was every bit a princess’s bedroom. Pink everything covered almost every inch of the room. It made me want to vomit.

Ainsley was lying on her large canopied bed. She had her phone in her hands.

“Ainsley,” I called as I stepped into the room and closed the door. “I’m just checking on you. Are you alright?”

She shrugged as I walked towards the bed. Her eyes were red from crying. “What is alright in this place, Jemma?” She spoke out sadly.

I kicked off my shoes and lay on the bed beside her. “That is purely subjective, Ainsley.” I folded my hands and placed them on my belly.

She rolled over and faced away from me. “You smell like Cassius.”

I sniffed. “He’s my mate, Ainsley. Of course, I smell like him.”

“No, I mean his scent isn’t just on you. It’s in you.” She mumbled.

I lifted my head and stared at her back. ‘Did she just basically say that I am pregnant?’ Leonora made a small growl in the back of my mind but didn’t answer. We were silent for a moment. “Have you been up all night?”

She rolled onto her back and turned her head towards me. “I spent all night talking to Titus.” A tear ran down her cheek.

“All night?”

“He’s a vampire. They don’t sleep.”

I nodded. “Right.”

“He broke up with me when I told him about everything that happened last night.” She sniffled. “He felt it was for the best.” Tears ran down her cheeks as she started sobbing again. “I really love him, Jemma. I mean, I feel it in my soul that I love him. As for werewolves, I know we are taught that true love for us comes from our fated mates. But I feel nothing for Casper. Not even my wolf is pushing me to be with him.”

I sighed as she sobbed into her pillow. “Wow, Leonora was practically roaring at me when I ran away from the Mating Ball after seeing Cassius.”

“What am I going to do, Jemma? I don’t want to be sent off to be some Luna to an alpha I know in my soul I do not want.”

I reached out my arms and pulled her towards me, and let her sob on my shoulder. “I wish I knew what to tell you, Ainsley. When I went to the ball, I was adamant about rejecting my mate if I met him. Then it turned out to be Cassius, which meant I couldn’t reject him. But even though I ran from him. I felt something for him and not just because my wolf was trying to force me to go back. I mean, I felt it when we were kids when your parents visited my pack. Even though he took my baby from me, I still couldn’t deny how I felt about him.”

“He never should have done that. Making you leave your son behind.” She said.

“He’s working on fixing that,” I sighed sadly, now thinking about Nicky.

“Despite that, you love my brother.”

I nodded. “With my whole heart.”

She sighed. “That’s how I feel about Titus. I mean, I met Casper a few times when he came for alpha training, and he just always acted like an arrogant a*****e.”

“That’s most alphas.”

“But your father isn’t like that. Nor is your brother, Iain. Hell, part of me used to hope he was my mate.”

I laughed. “Really? Iain?”

She shrugged. “Well, he is handsome, sweet, and strong.” She rolled onto her back again and turned on her phone. She showed me a picture of her and Titus standing on a boardwalk in a loving embrace. “That is what Titus is like. We talk for hours about stupid stuff. He likes a lot of the same things as I even though he is like eighty years old.”

“Oh, you found a young vampire.”

She laughed sadly. “We were going to see the world together, but now I’ll just be another faceless Luna producing pups for another arrogant alpha.” Tears streamed down her cheeks.

My heart ached for Ainsley. I prayed to the Moon Goddess for guidance. I wanted to help my sister-in-law in every way I could. “I’m sorry I told Cassius about Titus.”

“I assume you had a good reason,” She turned her blue eyes on me. They were a lighter shade than Cassius’s, resembling the sky.

“Well, it was when your parents said you were missing, and they were all worried about you. I didn’t want to. But Cassius was genuinely concerned about you.”

She patted my arm. “It’s alright, Jemma. I forgive you.”

There was a knock on the door. “Ainsley?” It was Izzy’s voice.

‘Jemma, Alpha Reynolds, and his mate just arrived.’ Cassius mind linked me. I sat up as Izzy walked into the room.

She stood in front of the bed and looked at her daughter. “Casper’s parents just arrived. You need to get down to your brother’s office, now.”

Ainsley g*****d as she sat up and rubbed her eyes. Izzy walked around the bed and hugged her tight. “You will get through this, Ainsley.”

“I know you are trying to make me feel better, Mom. But I will never feel better about any of this.” Ainsley pulled out of her mother’s embrace, slid off her bed, and walked to the closet. She was wearing only a pair of short shorts and a tank top. A moment later, she came out wearing blue jeans and a t-shirt.

‘Jemma, where are you?’ Cassius demanded in my mind.

‘I am with your sister and mother. We’ll be down in a few minutes.’

‘Okay, love.’ He replied.

Izzy wrapped an arm around Ainsley’s shoulder and led her out of the room while I followed close behind.
