5 Puppies For The Alpha
Chapter 55

Lukyan rubbed his hands in his lap. They were uncomfortably clammy, the only sign of his nervousness. It was early in the morning and in her room there was a huge bustle of people pacing back and forth.

-His shoulder was tapped by a plainly dressed wolf and he followed him into the bathroom where he was ushered into a huge tub of hot water.

Two more wolves scrubbed his arms with sponges while another washed his hair pleasantly. The scent with which the bath had been perfumed was slightly strong but soothing and permeated his body.

His skin was thoroughly dried and he lay down on a stretcher where he was given a restorative massage that almost put him to sleep. He didn’t know how long it was until his shoulder was shaken.

-Lukyan, it’s time for you to feed,” Bastian smiled at him.

The ritual before the wedding consisted of a bath to cleanse his whole body, a massage, feeding until he burst to save energy. She did her nails and hair and finally put on an emblematic robe and walked to where her future partner would be waiting. She had gone through the same process.

He knew the ritual, he had gone through it at his first wedding. He remembered that he had been nervous to death because he didn’t know what he was facing. This time, though the nervousness remained latent, incredibly there was excitement swirling inside him. He didn’t know if it was for the stability his children would replace as Dante’s adoptees or for the security Dante himself provided.

No matter how upset he might be, or the situation, not once had he smelled hostility towards his person, rather, in the last few days he smelled differently, one that awakened feelings in him that he didn’t know dwelled within him.

Maybe he hadn’t made a bad decision.

She sat at the table with so much food that not even all her children together could digest it, but she had to make an effort or she wasn’t sure she could bear the union.

The liaison, though she only knew from experience as he had refused, was quite violent, if there was a word for it. Males, even if they wanted to be gentle, lost some of their reasoning, leaving their wild side, and it was to be expected, for this would be the first time they would take their mate, or at least it was meant to be. In this way they would not only leave their mark on the back of his neck but would also impregnate his scent on him.

The receiving wolves had no choice but to endure this part by keeping their cool, even if the scent of the superior male turned them on, it was not enough to withstand the potency of the first s*x alone compared to the rutting of the males.

The biting could be the most brutal part. The wolves had to offer the back and nape of their mate’s neck as he buried his fangs leaving a permanent mark. As much as the wolf had anaesthetic agents it hurt like hell, along with the knot after reaching o****m.

The half hour to the hour after, both because of the bond and the knot was the most exhausting. He could have different whipping o*****s that shook his body little by little as his b***d accepted his partner’s chemicals leaving visible the mark that would heal quickly. At these times the male was to caress him, k**s him and treat him as gently as possible so that the experience would not be so traumatic.

In short, second times were always easier. Both bodies were already mated and accepting of each other so the pain was yesterday’s word and the desire was multiplied even more, that ensured that both could help each other and take care of each other’s heat.

Lukyan sighed. Dante was big, in every way, even bigger than her former husband. But his first time had been so traumatic that he could still remember only the fragments before he blacked out from the constant, aggressive pain. Sylas had not done as agreed, he was never physically affectionate, and since they had not bonded, their encounters were mostly rape, and most of them were extremely draining.

He hoped that with Dante it wouldn’t be like that. He touched him in a gentle way that ignited every fibre of his body as he spoke soulful words in his ear. The wolf was damn sexy, he had to admit. Now it remained to be seen if he was just as good a lover in bed.

He bit his lips. He really was getting restless. He didn’t want to go through the same thing as that time although thinking back, when Dante had touched him, he’d felt like he was in heaven.

-Hello, I’m home,” the door to his room burst open, revealing a red-haired alpha who ruffled the necks of all the wolves present except the honoree, but they didn’t dare face him.

-Lucian,” Lukyan exclaimed and stood up, grabbing him by the wrist and pulling him into the bathroom, closing its door behind him. The only place where he could talk to him.

-Bastian give me a minute with him,” he asked the wolf through the crack before disappearing.

-He asked with a smile, setting aside a box covered in white ribbons and opening the first button of his silk shirt.

-Lucian, I… -Even though Dante didn’t want him to meet him, somehow he felt he could trust this wolf out of sheer irony.

Lucian smiled and leaned against the wall behind him.

-You’re nervous, it shows, even if you want to hide it,” he said.

He looked down and that impressed him, when he had been in his mansion the omega had never given in but now he looked helpless.

-Don’t worry,” he approached and put a hand on his head.

-Dante is too good to hurt you. Trust him, if he wanted to force himself on you he would have done it a long time ago.

For him to say that, it had to be true. He had also known his future partner for many years so he couldn’t be wrong.

-Thank you Lucian,” he let out a deep sigh, “I think I’ll be able to do it now.

-Of course precious, but let me know in time if you don’t marry Dante so I can kidnap you again, my brother will like to have someone to talk to.

-How is he,” he raised his head.

The wolf’s face lit up.

-Very well, slowly recovering, I can’t reveal he’s alive yet but I can’t wait to go for a run with him.

-I’m glad.” Lukyan smiled relaxed. That wolf could be considered his friend.

-Now open this, it’s for you, since you won’t be marrying me, at least use this, I had it made especially for you. I’m sure that Dante will be jealous when he sees you with something as shiny as this and that I gave it to you,” he winked at her, “I can assure you that it’s better than anything worn by a previous queen.

-Lucian,” he raised an eyebrow.

-Don’t look at me like that, I told your alpha’s protégé that I would be in charge of the suit, I couldn’t go back on my word, I hope it’s to your liking,” he said.

When he opened the door he found the wolves in the room tensing up and looking at him in surprise when their future queen came out with a less tense expression than before and Lucian opening the box he was carrying revealing a long red robe embroidered all the way around with silver threads.

Lukyan took Bastian’s hands in his own.

-I’m all right now, Bastian,” he smiled confidently, “Let’s do this.
