Chapter 138

138 iv. Meant to Be

“What is it you wish for, my love? Do tell me now,” Dominus urged her, snuggling into her arms as he does.

“First tell me, alpha. Are you satisfied?” she teased him, wrapping her legs on his hips as she pressed a gentle kiss on his cheek.

“Yes, deeply and very much so,” he whispered, his eyes still so mesmerized at her beauty.

“Then, is my performance enough for the alpha to grant me every single one of my wishes?” her sensual smile remained plastered on her lips.

“Yes, you know it my queen. You know I will do whatever it is you ask of me,” he whispered.

Her beauty captivates him as the light from the stars reached her slender form, her auburn hair spilled on the sofa like rivers of fire, and her scent haunts him, making him lust over her once again.

“I know of course, I just love hearing you say it. There is nothing more fulfilling for my ego than to hear you say the words. Say it again for me, my love. Will you move heaven and earth for me if it is what I ask of you?” she asked him, her eyes twinkling with playfulness and seduction.

Alas, this game of theirs... she seemed to have mastered it so. She knew exactly when to lay her cards right, how to up the stakes, and when to deal.

This is her, dealing with her lover, her child’s father, and her mate. This is right, she has claimed him as his mate.

.....

Not officially of course, but in her mind, she has claimed him as hers. In her heart, she has mated with the alpha not just as his mistress but as his partner.

Only by doing so can she rise as his equal and protect all that she holds dear. She didn’t want another repetition of what has happened once before.

This time she will protect their child as fervently as he would have protected them. The child needs them both to be strong and resilient.

In this cruel world of theirs, she can’t remain fragile. She cant remain being the one to be protected all the time.

She needs to protect their child, and she will use every bit of the power he will lend her to do so. Even if she ends up corrupting him, using him.

“If it pleases you so much my love, then I will say it again. As often as you would like. As much as you enjoyed hearing it, it fills my heart with joy to say the words. Ask anything my love, be it the moon or the stars, ask for it and I should do everything to get it for your sake,” he assured her, his face serious, and his voice true.

She pressed a kiss on his cheek as she went on top of him, reversing their positions as she straddled him freely, “Then I should make a wish but I should warn you that my wish is a greedy one. Is it okay to be greedy? To be truly selfish and to ask for the moon and stars?”

He caressed her cheek tenderly as if doing so would make her feel even more in control, “Say it. Even if you become the most selfish woman on earth, I will still adore you just the same.”

“Then, I’ll say my wish. As freely as the alpha lets me say it. My sweet knight, my love, my dear alpha. There is only one simple thing I ask from you... Marry me,” she blinked slowly, letting her long lashes touch her cheeks to make her appear innocent, the look he was most vulnerable to of course.

He froze, maybe he misheard her. Maybe it wasn’t what he thought he heard. This was Mary. Mary will never ask for something so impossible, so inconvenient.

“What did you say, my queen? Please say it again for I fear I am hearing things,” he cupped her cheeks with his fingers.

“Marry me, Dom. Please say you will make me your legal wife. Not just someone you come home to in the middle of the night. Not just someone you visit over the weekends. Marry me, and make me the luna of the pack,” she said, this time her voice was louder, she made sure he will hear her every word.

He was taken aback by her request. This wish he never thought he would hear from her. A selfish request such as this which will drive the whole pack into chaos.

“Do you know the implications of this request, my love? How about the woman you have forced me to take as my wife? What do you wish for me to do with her? And the child, do you wish for me to abandon Jiro and his mother?” he asked, making sure he understood clearly what she was asking of him.

“Yes, I do understand what I am asking for, my alpha. You said before that you have chosen me as your mate, that you are determined in your heart to love and adore only me. I am just asking you to make it official. Take me as your wife. Discard the one who has killed our child,” she pressed kisses on his cheek, as if by doing so the impact of her words will be lessened.

“Are you willing to put anything into chaos, my queen? I do not mind even if you turn everything into hell. For as long as you are happy. For as long as it is what you really wanted, I do not mind it at all,” he whispered, staring at her like a love-struck boy.

She giggled and kissed his cheeks, “I love you, my knight. Let’s turn hell to lose then. It is exactly what I wanted.”

He smiled and supported her back with his hand, pulling her gently into him until their faces almost touch, “How about a little reward before I execute your wishes, your majesty?”

“As I am indeed feeling generous, I do not think anything wrong with that,” she whispered, her eyes trailing his body as he does the same with hers.

“Do you not hesitate at all?” she asked, that part of her where guilt rules and conscience matters spoke.

“I do not hesitate at all, my love. For as long as it is exactly what you wanted. No matter the consequence, I will not put the blame on you. I apologize it has taken so much time for us to marry. It is all I ever really wanted,” he claimed her lips, their lips gliding softly past each other as they opened their lips for their tongues to dance.

It felt like pieces of themselves were finally colliding fully, not just their mind and body, but a part of their soul that they never realized they have taken for themselves. It is now to be shared by each other, fully, wholeheartedly.

It was a slow and passionate kiss and his hands were slowly exploring her body with utmost patience and care. “We were always meant to marry,” he assured her.

“I know. I was just too stubborn to see it at that time. I could have saved us all those troubles if I realized it sooner,” she admitted.

She will always be guilty of causing their heartaches. If not for her insistence for him to marry that woman, all of this should not have happened.

“It is not too late,” he assured her. “It is never too late for you to claim me as yours, because I have waited for you as always. That is why it is never too late for you to accept me fully. Because I will always be here for you. I love you so, my queen.”

He claimed her lips again, his fingers cupping her breasts as she let out a sigh, “So good. You are so good for me, my knight. I still do not know what you see in me for you to remain by my side all these years.”

He cupped her cheeks, “You do not remember. But you have given me everything before we even met in this world. Do not think of me crazy, but it is the truth. I have loved you even before I ever set my eyes on you.”

She chuckled and pressed kisses on his cheeks, “I do not think of you crazy, my love. Though you should not speak of this out loud least the pack thinks their alpha has lost his mind.”

It was his turn to laugh as he squeezed her boobs, making her squeal, “They haven’t noticed until now then? I must be doing things wrong. It was my intention to show the whole world how much I love you so, my queen.”

“Perhaps you should do it more obvious then, I think you must do something more to show them how crazy insane you really are for me, alpha,” she teased him.

He claimed her lips again, his fingers trailing gently from her back into her buttocks, making her sigh once again. “Do you know how beautiful you look for me, my love? Somehow you manage to become even more beautiful with each time that passes us by.”

She kissed his lips this time, “How lucky are you then, my knight? Such luck that I am head over heels in love with you.”

“Aye, my queen. I have always been the lucky one. I do not intend to change my fortunes any time soon,” he squeezed her buttocks, making her moan.

“You are so lascivious with your actions, but you still try to continue with this con- conversation?” she protested, faltering in her words.

“Well unless of course you would like me to stop either talking or making love to you, I do not mind doing both at the same time,” he teased her even more, feeling satisfied that her juices have wetted his legs when her leg come in contact with his.

“Oh for good lord’s sake, just fuck me already, Dom!” he claimed her lips before she could finish her sentence.

Of course, he did make sure the room was filled with her vowels and lewd sounds, taking into consideration her insistence on not having a conversation.

That night, it is as it was meant to be... a perfect union of their souls.
