Her Destined Alpha
Chapter 36

RAYHAN

My smile only grew as she said those words. Goddess was my kitten cute. I pulled her close, claiming her lips in a deep ki!ss once more. ” I like you too, kitten. ” I whispered, breaking away. More than like … but I don’t want to scare you off.

We k!ssed for a few moments before I stood up, holding her by her th!ghs. I k!ssed her shoulder softly and placed her o In the bed. ” As much as I want to k!ss you all night, you’re injured, and you look pale.

” I said, kneeling between her legs, my hands on her th!ghs. I hadn’t missed the way she had tensed, and I knew there was a high chance it was an old memory. I needed to take it slow, but I also needed to replace out what actions could trigger those memories. I won’t deny that I was scared to know what she had remembered.

Had she been sexually abused? The thought made me sick to my stomach. I just wanted to shield her from the world and k!ll the b*stards who had hurt her in the most painful way … But I just hoped I was wrong. I pushed the thoughts away.

I hoped one day soon she would trust me enough to tell me everything so I could help her heal. Her l!ps trembled, and I didn’t miss the way she glanced at my lips. It seems like she liked that k!ss … She wasn’t the only one.

I leaned in, my lips grazing the tip of her ear. ” Turn around and let me see your back. ” I whispered, making her shiver. She pulled away and hesitated. ” I don’t think that’s needed. I’ll be fine. ” ” She said, looking uncomfortable.

I knew she wasn’t bothered about being naked in front of me. She had stripped off her top once in front of me, which meant she didn’t want me to see her injuries. How bad was it?

” Turn around, Delsanra, ” I said firmly. She sighed and turned around, sitting cross-legged on the bed. She reached for the hem of her flowing top, but she seemed to struggle. I reached over, slipping her top over her head and tossing it onto the bed as she covered her bre*sts, although I was behind her.

But my attention was captured by the f*cking horror before me …

The gashes made by a whip left not even an inch of her back free. My anger was rolling off me in waves, the urge to shift and go on a f*****g rampage was taking over. She turned, concern and panic in her eyes. ” Control your aura.

” She whispered, her arms crossed over her bre*sts . I blinked, reigning in my anger. ” It’s ok, Rayhan. ” She murmured, one hand covering her breasts as she reached for my hand with the other. F*ck … The view before me made my mind go blank, her sitting on the bed on her knees … those sore l!ps and those alluring bre*sts teasing me.

” Sure … ” I said, taking a breath when she turned away once again, I didn’t miss the tiny smile on her li!ps. It seemed like my kitten was beginning to realize just what a In effect she had on me. The list of all those who would pay for their crimes against her was ever-growing.

I leant down, running my tongue along the worst of her cuts, only for her to gasp and spring across the bed. ” What are you doing! ” She yelped, her cheeks burning bright pink. If those injuries weren’t so bad, I would have teased her, but the state of her back was f*cking suffocating me with crippling guilt and anger. ” Alpha saliva heals kitten. ” I said softly. ” It will help you heal faster, lie down.

” She looked suspicious at first. ” How ? ” an ability we Alphas have. ” I ” It’s shrugged. No one ever questioned that. ” So you randomly go licking people when they’re hurt? ” She asked, wrinkling her nose.

I smirked, glad her sassy nature wasn’t gone. ” No, I haven’t randomly l!cked people … You’re my mate Delsanra, I am not going to leave you like this. ” Ok, this entire thing does sound weird and animalistic … I couldn’t really blame her for calling me a dog?

” That’s weird … I swear, if I don’t feel any better by tomorrow and I discover you’re lying … I smirked slightly, as she lay down slowly on her stomach after leaving her threat hanging. I realised the move itself was int!mate enough.

I tried to ignore her perky a*s that was pressing tightly against the cotton p*nts she wore . Focusing on her back, slowly licking the wounds, not missing how she tensed, the way her breath hitched. Biting back my own g***n when her arousal hit me. F*ck. I placed a few tender k!sses along the way as I licked the wounds softly, hoping it helped.

” Do you have anything we can use as a bandage? ” I whispered, k!ssing her shoulder once I was done. ” In that bag. ” She murmured, pointing to a bag that sat on the bedside table as she sat up , one arm teasingly covering her bre*sts.

Her cheeks were tinged pink. I got off the bed, grabbed the bag, and took the bandage out. ” Arms up, kitten. ” I murmured. She obeyed, turning away, and I began wrapping the bandage around her tightly. Her wounds should be healed considerably by tomorrow.

Although I knew she wouldn’t heal as fast as a werewolf, she would still heal faster than normal. Once her torso was wrapped in the gauze, I wrapped it around her shoulders and tied it firmly. ” All done. ” She turned towards me, taking hold of my chin and ki!ssing my lips softly, surprising me. ” Thank you. ” She said. I smirked, pulling her into my arms and holding her tightly.

Before lifting her up and getting into bed, I pulled the blanket that smelt rather dusty over her slender shoulders. She was cold to the touch too. She tensed as I settled her against me and I loosened my grip. If she wanted to pull away, I wanted her to know she would be able to. After a moment, she relaxed, resting her head against my chest despite her racing heart.

” As much as I just want to hold you and let you sleep, I need to know what happened. We need a plan. ” She nodded. Her eyes were filled with curiosity as she looked at me. ” And how did you get in here? You’ve got magic around you … ” ” Well, it seems you aren’t the only witch in my life. ” I said softly, brushing her hair off her face. ” It’s a long story …

” I have all night. ” She whispered, biting her l*p. ” Well then … Allow me to go first. ” I murmured, my hand stroking her a*s, pressing her into me. I took a deep breath as I began to explain everything that had happened; about Raihana, about the grimoires.

It was difficult to speak of Endora, and the unspoken truth was that it was my grandmother who had tortured her … I knew at some point we would need to address it, but it was not the time right now. After I was done, she told me what happened, about what the elders said, and I couldn’t help but agree that there was more to it. They were up to something, but what? I wasn’t sure. ” So … what now?

” She asked when she finished telling me how she was told to wake up early to cook. ” We need to see if your powers can be unlocked. That spell Endora used, isn’t there a chance it could be in the grimoires we have in our possession? ” She shook her head. ” She burned the spell in front of me, it was part of a grimoire, but she told me she wasn’t stupid enough to leave it lying around, “

F**K , so she had been careful … with that after we were out of here. As for getting out, I had a few ideas, I sat up, placing my thumb to my lips.

” This is what we are going to do … ” It was morning, and I still had plenty of hours left before Raihana’s spell wore off, so I would make the most of it and see if I could get any information from the coven itself.

Delsanra had told me that she would be ok without me and that she actually felt a lot better. I could tell she wasn’t lying, thanks to some color returning to her face. ” Promise me you’ll eat something.

” I whispered, gripping her waist as she tried to leave the room. Her heart was racing as she looked up at me. ” And what about you? ” She asked, slowly wrapping her arms around my neck. I still couldn’t believe my mate was accepting me …

” I’ll eat you later. ” I winked suggestively. She pulled away, her cheeks tinged pink as she turned, grabbing the key in the door. I took her elbow, spinning her around. ” Hey … Only if you want me to, ” I whispered with a s*xy smirk.

” I … Excuse me … Make sure you’re careful ” She muttered, not meeting my eyes. Even this morning, when I had k!ssed her, she had been super embarrassed. I think with a fresh mind, she seemed to have realized what she had done last night …

I stepped out and she locked the door behind us, pocketing the key. ” Don’t put silly ideas in your head. ” She muttered with a frown before she walked off. Oh, kitten … You really will beg me to eat you out soon enough, I l!cked my l!ps, my eyes fixed on her as*s as she walked away … My own trousers felt painfully tight right now. F*ck
