The Alpha Queen And Her Chosen Mate

Kelly

“How have you been feeling?” I asked Kelsey as she wolfed down her third sandwich. I wrapped my blanket tighter around myself, desperately trying to get rid of the chills I had.

“Starving.” She said, gulping down a glass of milk and moving onto her chips. “How are things with the new meds?” She asked.

“Crappy.” I sighed. “Emmett has been giving me much stronger ones. It knocks Keres out but it takes a toll on me too.” I said, lying on my side in bed.

“I hate seeing you like this.” She sighed, rubbing her very swollen belly. She was due anytime now.

Emmett has given me four different medications over the past four months, each coming with worse and worse side effects, layering on top of each other. The first round was chills and shakes and body aches. The second added dizziness and fainting. The third round tacked on vomiting and drowsiness. And this past month I have noticed loss of appetite and blurred vision. Thankfully, Emmett spaced out the trials so I had a day to myself. One day each month, I felt normal.

Typically, the dose I was given would last about three weeks. Keres would wake up soon after and go absolutely ballistic, eating up most of the week, making Thorin’s job especially hard. He had to take extensive corrective action to get her under control again. That left me with one, maybe two days left when I felt normal again. As normal as I could be with a serial killer living in my head.

“It is what it is.” I shrugged, mentally counting down the days until I felt normal again. Twelve more days. Just twelve more days.

“Maybe dad will give you a break soon.” Kelsey said hopefully.

“Dad is the one pushing for me to be a vegetable,” I grumbled.

“Maybe I can talk to mom and she can talk to dad?”

“Tried it. Not happening. Dad has his mind made up.” I sighed. “And I don’t blame him.”

One year later….

“Where are we going again?” I yawned, still recovering from the latest drug trial and Keres fit following it.

Today was one of the good days I had before my next drug trial. Jonas insisted on taking me out, making the most of my time. He has been doing this for the past six months, giving me an epic day to look forward to before I went back to hell. Once it was restaurant hopping, another time we went to a human town and volunteered for a day at an animal shelter. When I was really out of it, we stayed in and had a picnic and built a fort in my room. My favorite, though, was when we went horseback riding together. I definitely plan on doing that more often.

“I told you, its a surprise.” He smiled, pulling me along.

He packed a mystery bag this time with Kelsey’s help. Kelsey was running on an hour of sleep and caffeine most days. Her pup, Amelia, wasn’t especially fond of sleep. I hadn’t had a chance to spend much time with Kelsey since Amelia was born. Between my issues and her adapting to a new life, we only really saw each other in passing or maybe at a family meal every now and then. It made me feel good inside knowing she took the time to help Jonas plan our day together even though she was so busy.

In just a few minutes, I could hear the sound of waves crashing and seagulls squawking. I could smell the fresh ocean breeze.

“Beach day?” I lit up excitedly.

“Beach day.” Jonas nodded enthusiastically.

He handed me the bag he had brought which had my swimsuit in it, as well as his and two towels. We changed in the changing rooms that were just before the beach, tossing our clothes in the bag and running for the water. I kicked off my flip flops as soon as we hit the sand. I was feeling better and better by the minute. Jonas ran over to two surfboards stuck in the sand, handing me one, a wild, carefree look on his face.

“Surfing?” I laughed, knowing darn well neither of us had ever tried it before.

“Lets go!” He laughed, sprinting with his board to the icy ocean water.

I ran closely behind him, following his lead, laughing along the way. We sloppily paddled out to sea, getting knocked over by waves, again and again and again. A surfer eventually took pity on us and gave us a few pointers that made a world of a difference. We surfed together and apart, riding the waves all afternoon. For lunch, we found a food truck that had fish tacos and indulged on those before we laid out on the sand and dried off for a little while. It was a perfect day.

I must have fallen asleep at some point, because I was woken up to a bucket of water being thrown on me. “Wha-!” I yelled, sitting up quickly.

“Last call sleeping beauty!” Jonas laughed, booking it towards the water.

I ran after him, catching up quickly and tackling him into the water. The sun was almost set and the beach empty. We splashed each other and even threw wet sand at each other, blissfully enjoying what was left of the day.

“Lets see how well all that training with the meat head has done for you.” Jonas laughed as he pulled me out of the water, practically collapsing on top of me on the shoreline, tickling my sides. The chilly water nipped at my skin while Jonas’s fingers practically debilitated me. I laughed so hard I almost cried, begging him to stop.All text © NôvelD(r)a'ma.Org.

“Please!” I laughed, trying to fend him off.

“Fine, but only if you admit I won.” He winked, his body dangerously close to mine.

“You won.” I nodded out of breath.

Our eyes were locked in on each other, our limbs tangled together, half in, half out of the water still. Jonas leaned down towards me, his eyes studying my lips, wordlessly asking for permission. I met him the rest of the way, our lips touching, carefully tasting one another. I was acutely aware of his hand that was slowly feeling up and down my side, giving me chills. If only he would reach a little lower…

“We should get back before it gets too dark.” Jonas said, breaking away and helping me up.

I nodded, confused and a bit angry that he stopped things. We arrived back at the palace and Jonas escorted me to my room. I could feel the tension growing between us the longer we were alone together.

“Stay for a movie?” I asked, hoping he would stay and we could continue what had happened on the beach.

“I don’t know Kelly…Maybe I should go.” Jonas said, his hand moving to tuck my disheaved hair behind my ear. “I don’t know if I can stop myself twice in one night.” He slowly traveled south with his fingertips, making me want so much more.

“Maybe you should stay.” I said, pulling him closer, despite my better judgment.

“Kelly…” He g*****d, at war with himself, holding me close.

His hands were like a balm to my skin. I could feel my own desires growing. “Please Jonas, I need this. I need to feel good for just a little while longer.” I begged.

He nodded and gently caressed my jaw before his lips collided with mine. It didn’t have the same electric feeling that the mate bond did, but it felt amazing none the less. I felt safe with Jonas, comfortable even. His hands moved down my body, settling on my h**s, pawing at my butt. I ran my nails down the front of his chest before slowly untying the string on his swim trunks. He reciprocated, his hands kneading my breasts through my bra before he pulled at the strings keeping my bikini on, freeing my breasts. He pulled away and dropped his swim trunks on the ground. Oh my…the moon goddess certainly blessed him. He kneeled down, his hands coming to the strings on my bikini bottom. He helped me out of it before picking me up and moving us to my bed.

“Are you sure you want to do this?” He asked, peppering a trail of k****s down my torso.

“Yes…” I g*****d, my hands tangling in his shaggy blond hair as he dipped down between my legs.

His tongue thoroughly explored me, his fingers too. Goddess, I never knew intimacy could feel so, so good. It never felt this good before. My toes were curling as I began to reach my peak. “Goddess!” I cried. Jonas was relentlessly hitting something deep inside me, something wonderful. I convulsed around him, practically seeing stars from the o****m I had just received.

“You look so beautiful when you come undone.” He said, his face shiny from my nectar.

“Lets see what you look like.” I purred, sitting up and pushing him back.

I took his length in my mouth, minus what wouldn’t fit, and swirled my tongue around his head while using my hand to pump the rest. I could taste his salty precum in my mouth, which reassured me that I was doing something right. I used my free hand to gently massage his balls, which made him g***n in approval, bunching up my hair and coaxing me to go faster.

“I’m gonna cum.” He warned me.

I could feel his h**s starting to move and his grip on my hair tightening. He found his release moments later, his seed hitting the back of my throat almost making me gag. I swallowed every last drop before sitting back, a smirk on my face from seeing how winded Jonas looked.

“Lay back.” Jonas said. He helped me lay down and settled himself between my legs.”I should have asked earlier. Do you have any condoms?” He asked, his mouth sucking on my neck.

“No need. I’m on birth control.” I m****d. “Just…be gentile.” I pleaded, not wanting a repeat of my first time.

He nodded, his eyes meeting mine. He used one hand to keep himself up and used the other to slowly guide himself in. I threw my head back in ecstasy, his c**k filling me like never before.

“Oh goddess!” I panted.

It was a delicious mix of pressure and fullness, effectively taking my breath away. My first time felt nothing like this. Jonas kissed me, gently at first, but soon deepened our k**s, our tongues dancing with each other. He lowered himself flush with me and moved his h**s, slowly pulling out and then sinking back in, I clawed at his arms, trying to get him closer to me, as if it were even possible.

“Dont stop.” I begged between our hot wet k****s. “Whatever you do, don’t stop.”
