The Alpha’s Rejected Bride
Chapter 58

Lucy Pov

We are back at the castle, Rayan and I are in Ahyan's room

We just gave him a bath and now he has a small smile on his lips as he struggles to keep his eyes open for more seconds. He is happy to be back and he recognized his room immediately.

"Good night, my baby," I whisper as we retreat from the room. Rayan turns off the light and we stand at the door to hear him sleep soundly. His breath is normal and soft.

"I missed him," I murmur. My fiance pulls me in a warm hug. We stay like this for a long time until I remember to ask

"How's jasper?"

Xena was taken to the hospital and jasper has been there ever since. The condition is so bad and Yadiel says she might not make it.

"Let's change and go there but I'd understand if you can't," my mate says. What Xena did was wrong and I want to forgive her but It will take a little time.

I shake my head

"I want to be there for Jasper," I say. He holds my hand as he takes us to his suite

We have not had time to refresh since we came back, we only gave Ahyan a bath and showered him with all our love.

"Alright, I'll ask someone to bring you something to change to as you bath," he says. Rayan places his hands around my waist while mine goes on his bare torso. We are staring at each other before he slowly leans in to kiss me. His lips are soft then starts to be passionate. He grabs my a*s and I smile against his lips

I notice he likes to squeeze my butt when kissing me.

I push him away gently, his eyes are already dark

"You know, you are one step away to be my queen," he whispers as he pulls me close. He begins to leave sloppy kisses on my neck and I shiver in delight. A moan escape my lips as he leaves tiny bites on my neck.

"I need to go take a shower," I confess, I'm already feeling wet between my legs.

I walk to the ensuite bathroom while I take off my clothes. A growl resonates from somewhere within the room and before Rayan can catch me, I run into the bathroom and shut the door in his face. he is chuckling while I'm panting. I lean my bareback against the door as I realize what I did

I undressed in his presence, whatever I was thinking about! His eyes were dark as he bolted towards me.

"Got lucky," he groans as he softly retreats from the door

I could feel him against it.

"Are you calm?" I giggle.

Rayan utters some cuss words I can't decipher, only making me laugh more.

I get into the tab, the water is cold. I play soft piano music and close my eyes and breath once, suddenly the water is just the right temperature as I want it. My muscle relaxes and minutes later I feel gentle hands massaging my shoulders. Rayan's hands are amazing on my body and I sigh in relief. His scent surrounds me and I inhale it. I open my eyes and look up at him. We share a deep kiss.

He gets a soft scrub and runs it on my back. As he does, he is kissing my neck down. My breath is erratic and my n*****s are hard. There are goosebumps on my skin. After minutes of playing around. We get out of the water and he helps to dry my wet body. The whole process is sensual and his eyes are locked onto mine as he does. This man has me in his webs and I can't escape. At this moment, If he wanted me, he can have me and I wouldn't deny him.

"Rayan," my voice is low and sultry. My body is shaking.

He is caressing my body, his fingers trailing all over my belly and pleasure is consuming me. His eyes linger on my lips down to my private and I'm not ashamed at all.

Rayan suddenly carries me and my legs automatically wrap around his waist

He sets me down on the edge of the bed and gets on his knees. I do nothing to stop him. My eyes are fixed on him, anticipating what he is about to do. He parts my legs with ease and he puts his head between them. Inhaling before I feel his wet tongue inside me. I gasp as he strokes my core and my fingers go in his hair.

I'm feeling so much pleasure that I throw myself on his bed and moan all I want. I feel my walls tighten as his thrust becomes more savage. I arch my hips up but he puts them in place.

Stopping what he is doing, and placing kisses on my neck. I feel his breath close to my ear and it sends good chills down my body

"Be still, my lady,"

I can only nod. He goes back to stroking my folds with his tongue and my walls tighten again as my breath becomes erratic. I scream his name as I c*m undone. I'm heaving and still in awe. That was euphoric!

My mate is cleaning me up. He suddenly appears over me and I grab his collar, pulling him for a kiss. We are looking at each other and I whisper

"Who knew you were a man of many talents,"

He smirks,

"Oh you have no idea," he kisses my lips softly and gets off me. I hear him howl just as the bathroom door closes

"Men,"

I get up from the bed and go to his closet. I remember he said he'll send someone over with my clothes. I don't see any. I hear a soft knock. I rush to the door in my towel and open it. It's Arabella, the woman blushes profusely and I smile at her innocence. I allow her in. She walks straight to the bedroom and puts the clothes on the bed.

As she leaves, I instruct

"Please watch over Ahyan," She nods and exits through the salon. Meredith went straight to the hospital. She may have been upset with Xena but they were good friends before she did what she did.

I inspect the clothes Arabella brought. It's jeans trousers, a black turtle neck sweatshirt, and a brown coat. As I dress up, Rayan gets out of the shower. He looks so hot so I go over to him and kiss his lips longingly, are we overdoing it? I can't help it! Lately, I want him more and more, it's like a burning desire that only he can quench

I kiss his chest softly and he visibly shivers, not from the cold obviously. His member is already protruding through the towel he has wrapped around his waist and slowly my hands reach to it. Rayan is watching me with so much desire. He swallows as I begin to massage his c**k. I push him against the bathroom door. I continue to stroke and the precum makes it easier.

As I do it faster, his breath is starting to accelerate and his eyes close. Soft sounds are coming from his lips and he groans. I wonder if I can put his member in his mouth, it's huge. I slowly bend down and crouch In front of him. He immediately holds my arms and shakes his head.

"You don't have to do that, ever," his voice is strong. But I want to so I get back down and while looking at him, take him in my mouth. Oops, huge indeed.

I slowly take him in and begin to bob my head, as I continue he holds the back of my head gently and brings his c**k in and out. Suddenly we are doing it so fast, in sync and he is groaning and soft growls are escaping his chest.

"Damn," he whispers. He suddenly pushes me away and grabs the towel that was in his hands and covers his front. His eyes are still closed though. I notice white seeds on my arm and smile. I made him c*m. I get on my tiptoes and kiss his lips His eyes snap open and he smiles.

"Where did you learn that," he questions. I pretend to think.

"Practice," I say as I wear my coat and I find myself pressed against the wall, we are so close and our breath is mixing. His one hand is wrapped around my neck but it's not hurting.

"Elaborate," his voice is a monotone and I realize I shouldn't tease him like this. I sigh and smile

"I was just teasing baby. The girls and I talk about such things and I've always wanted to try with you,"

He kisses my collarbone then my lips

"Do you want to give me a heart attack?" He is smiling in relief. I shake my head and cup his face.

"Get ready please, Jasper needs us,"

Realization dawns on his face and he nods then disappears into the walk-in closet. I'm waiting for him and thinking. If Xena dies, will jasper recover from this? I hear it's bad when you lose your mate. My heart aches for him.

Rayan holds my hand as we go to the private clinic Xena was taken. It's just a ten-minute drive from here. We get out of the car when we reach a building, it's so colorful and bright as If it's not night.

As we follow their scents upstairs, it's awfully silent. The air is gloomy and the sadness is palpable.

Meredith runs to us. She is crying. I give her a hug and pull away

"She's dying. The doctors are just making her comfortable," she tells us. Rayan rushes past us. I hold Meredith's hand and we walk together. Just outside the door is Xena's cousin. Tia I think.

She gets to her feet and bow. Her eyes are red and her blonde hair is all over the head like she's been running her fingers in them several times

"Thank you for freeing my son," I say. She gives me a one-sided smile

"And thank you for coming when you did and allowing my cousin into your kingdom, I know it's where she wants to be right now," she croaks and a tear or two escapes her eyes. She quickly wipes them.

I nod and walk into the room, the first one I see is Xena, she looks extremely pale and white but still talking. Her right hand is tightly holding Jasper. He is sitting next to her on a chair. She notices me and looks in my direction, they all do. I walk closer and stand next to Rayan. I place a comforting hand on Jasper's shoulder and he pats my hand.

"Hey," I smile at her. She smiles back softly and a tear roll down her cheek

"Princess Lucy, I'm sorry for what I did," she chokes. jasper wipes her tears away

I inhale and go closer to the bed. As a mother it's hard to get past what she did to me, and an apology just doesn't cut it, she made her choice by betraying us however, I appreciate her change of heart. I bend down and kiss her forehead. She smiles genuinely at me, and I wipe her tears.

I get back to standing next to Rayan. Jasper is sniffing, trying to smile, just hold her hand and kiss it.

We stay there and chat about everything else that doesn't have to do with species or betrayal.

"What are your best memories," I ask. Rayan and I have taken a sofa not far from the bed.

Xena smiles widely at my question and moves in bed, creating room for Jasper to join her in bed. He gets in and holds her against him tightly then she answers.

"A lot. I've lived for a very long time, my lady but one of the best memories I have was the day I met Jasper, I mean the man literally froze for a long time!" She giggles a little, her voice is not as strong anymore. We laugh

"I knew it!" Rayan calls it. Teasing his brother " I just knew he'd freeze the moment you found your mate such a... aargh,"

Jasper is smiling in his mate's neck and giving his brother a middle finger. After a long silence, Xena croaks

"I love you, Jasper... So much. I didn't know I could love and hate someone at the same time,"

Her voice is soft and sincere. We are silent when Jasper clears a lump from his throat.

"I love you more than you know, Xena,"

"I'll try to be back for you," she whispers. Rayan and I exchange a look but brush her comment aside.

The room is awfully silent, and the only thing I sense is our heartbeats. Jasper lets out a painful growl followed by an antagonizing howl. She's dead. My wolf says nonchalantly.

We let Jasper hold her, and I hug my mate tighter and bury my face in his chest. He holds me.

"Wake up, please," Jasper is crying and it's breaking my heart to pieces. This is a man I know to be so strong and powerful. He's vulnerable and bawling for his mate. His beloved. I get out of my mate's arms as we go to Jasper. Rayan is comforting him while I stare at Xena, her face is still tear-stained and my hand reaches up to touch her cheek absentmindedly. I whisper a thank you for having a change of heart and I hope she finds peace. A light ignites within her where I touch.

I kiss Jasper's hair as he is still holding his mate and leave the room.

Outside I find Meredith and Tihana in an embrace. She is sobbing. I'm glad she finds comfort here.

I sit on a leather couch in the lobby as I wait for the brothers.

The former king, queen, and Enol join us a few minutes later. They look worried. Enol looks distant and frozen in his tracks, I follow his gaze and I see a woman go in a blur. I tap his shoulder.

"You good?" he nods and pulls me for a quick hug. I wasn't expecting it but I still hold him. Something is off with him these days.

"Thank you," he whispers before I can ask why the door opens. Rayan is the first to walk out followed by prince Jasper, his eyes are red and his hair is a mess. His eyes go to his mother and she opens her arms. As they embrace, he is saying something to her. "I know baby," Queen Astrid whispers while patting his back.

"You will be okay, I promise," she says in a kind motherly voice.
