The Alpha King's Rebellious Queen
The Alpha King’s Rebellious Queen Chapter 42

Cassius’s POV

The day had been long and just stressful. Deke had relayed the information he had gathered from the Silver Paw packhouse. The pack had been engaging in the trafficking of low-level wolves and rogues. So basically, a slave trade had been going on between them and this so-called rogue king. The slave trade involved other packs, and Deke was set to investigate further.

Maria told me that the warriors from the former pack were being integrated into other packs. Former alpha Reynolds was being injected with wolfsbane to keep him from tearing up his cell in the dungeons. He had remained combative. He was also chained up with silver. Even with wolfsbane in his system, he tried attacking Maria during her interrogation with him. It was likely that he would be executed for his crimes against she-wolves. Some of his pack members had offered testimony, and it just got worse the more we heard.

Deke and I were finally walking out of my office for the day. Deke clapped me on the shoulder. “Hey, man, I heard the news through the grapevine. So it’s true?”

I lifted an eyebrow at my best friend. “Which news would that be, buddy?”

“You and Jemma are expecting a pup?” He smiled.

“Pups.”

Deke’s eyes widened as his smile grew larger. “Leave it to you to one-up me.” He laughed as we gave each other a bro hug. “I do hope they all become friends with my pup.”

“I hope that too, Deke. Speaking of you, best get on home to Audrey. She hasn’t seen much of you since Saturday, and she will probably strangle me if I keep you much longer.”

“You are probably right, Cass,” He started to walk away. “You have fun on your date with Jemma.”

“Bye,” I waved as he headed towards his section of the palace. I sighed and walked towards the elevator. Casper Reynolds was standing near the doors pacing. He was dressed in a nice suit and had a bouquet. “Hello, Casper,” I said as I walked towards him.

He jumped slightly as he stopped his pacing, “Oh, hi Cassius.” He mumbled.

I tilted my head. “You look nervous, Casper.”

“I am taking your sister out to dinner,” He offered a small smile.

I grasped his shoulders. “Breathe, Casper. You will be okay. Just show her a good time.”

A sigh escaped the young alpha, “I guess I should be thankful she is even giving me a chance.”

The elevator doors opened to reveal, and my sister walked out. She was wearing a relatively short and revealing black dress while her brown hair was slicked back in a ponytail. “Where exactly are you guys going?”

Ainsley rolled her eyes, “We are going on a date, Cassius.” She looked at her mate, who was merely staring at her with wide eyes and attempting to speak.

I waved my hand in front of his eyes. “Breathe, Casper. Breathe.”

“F-f-flowers.” He held up the bouquet to my sister. She smiled and took them from him.

“These are lovely, Casper.” She held out her arm for him.

I smacked his arm, and he shook his head. “Sorry, I was just-” He smiled and laughed. “Damn, Ainsley. You look beautiful.” He finally managed to say. He interlinked his arm with hers.

“You two have a good night. Be safe and use protection.”

“Cassius!” Ainsley whined at me.

I pointed a finger at Casper. “You be good to my baby sister, Casper. Or you will know only pain for the rest of your life.” I smiled at the young alpha, who started trembling.

“Cassius,” Ainsley glared at me.

“I’m just looking out for you, Ains.” I smiled at her as I leaned down and kissed the top of her head.

“I’ll guard her with my life, Cassius,” Casper stated. “You have my word.”

“Good, now get going. I have to get ready for my date,” they waved as they walked away. I laughed lightly as the door on the elevator opened again. I stepped on, eager to see Jemma. I practically jogged down the hall to our room when the doors opened also. Opening the door to our room, I heard snoring coming from the bed and almost burst out laughing as I saw Jemma sprawled out on her back. Her head wasn’t on a pillow, but her mouth was wide open, and her mouth was emitting the snore. She looked adorable. Snickering, I pulled out my phone and took a couple of pictures before lying beside her and taking a selfie with her.

She g*****d and opened her violet eyes. “Cass,” She mumbled. “What are you doing?”

“Taking pictures of the queen while she slumbers,” I sat up on the bed and showed her the phone.

Those beautiful little eyes narrowed at me, “Oh, exacting your revenge, I see.” She slowly sat up and looked at the clock beside the bed. “Is it almost six pm?”

I nodded. “Yep.”

“Shoot, I fell asleep after lunch,” She shook her head. “I didn’t realize how tired I was,” I helped her to her feet, and she leaned against me.

“You can sleep all you want, my queen. You are creating life and need all the rest you can get,” I leaned down and kissed her. “Do you still want to go out tonight?”

“Yes,” She rubbed her belly. “I am starving.”

I clasped her hand. “Well, let’s go take a shower and then get dressed.” I lead her into the bathroom. We just showered this time and were out in ten minutes. In the closet, I watched her as she put on the dark purple dress I had suggested. The thin material hugged her curvy body just right. It was strapless with a plunging neckline or whatever they call it. It hung down to her knees and swayed when she walked. She wiggled her a*s at me, making Enoch growl in my head.

“Are you just going to watch me get dressed?” She said with a hand on her h*p.

“Yes, of course, I am,” I grabbed her arms and leaned down to lock my lips on her soft ones. “My Queen is the most beautiful she-wolf in the kingdom. Of course, I am staring,” I traced my hand down her cheek.

“Give it a few months, and I’ll be a whale,” She mumbled.

“All the more beautiful, love,” I smirked as I released her. “I have to get dressed now.”

She walked out of the closet, and I quickly put on a black Armani suit with a purple vest. I sat on the couch to wait for her. My breath caught in my throat when she walked out. Her blonde hair was braided mermaid style, and she had put on light makeup. “Holy Goddess, woman.” I managed to breathe out.

She sauntered towards me while swaying her h**s. “Does my King approve?” She said in her sexiest tone as her violet eyes bore into me.

“Oh, baby.” I lightly clasped her arm. “We may not make it out of this room before I rip that dress off of you, bend you over this couch, and f**k you till you can’t walk.”

She snorted. “Well, suppress that urge. I am starving. Let’s go.” She brushed past me and opened the door.

Taking a deep breath, I took her arm in mine, and we walked towards the elevators. “My, don’t you two look elegant,” My mother said to us as she stepped off the elevator. “Where are you kids headed off to?”

“Just some dinner,” I smiled at my mother.

“Well, you two have fun tonight,” She patted my arm before walking down the hall towards her and my dad’s room.

“Bye, Izzy,” Jemma called to her. The doors opened, and we stepped onto the elevator. “So, where are you taking me?” She asked.

“Dinner,” I replied.

“Just dinner.”

I shrugged. “Maybe.”

Once out of the elevator, we walked down the hall to the front door. Guards and omegas bowed as we walked past. We both smiled at all of them. Bruce was waiting with the limo. He bowed his head as he opened the door. “Good evening, your majesties.” He greeted us as he helped Jemma into the limo.

“Good evening, Bruce.” I smiled as I slid in next to my mate.

We sat in silence as the limo drove off. I clasped her hand and looked out the window. “How many pups should we have?” I asked her.

Her head shook as it seemed I had interrupted her thoughts. “Uh, I don’t know, Cass. I hadn’t thought about it. These two would be just fine for me.”

“Oh, I always wanted six.”

Her eyes widened. “Yeah, no, I don’t think so. Not unless you have them.” She sounded serious about that.

“I have just always imagined having a big family.” I sighed.

“That’s easy for you to say. You aren’t the one pushing them out of your v****a.” She folded her arms. “Pregnancy isn’t exactly easy for me. Or at least the last one wasn’t,” She rubbed her hand on my thigh. “Maybe we can adopt a couple? Are we allowed to adopt?”

I laughed. Oh, my crude little Jemma. “Yes, we can adopt a couple if that is what you want, love.”

The limo stopped at the restaurant, and Bruce opened the door for us. I slid out and then held my hand out for Jemma, and we walked into the restaurant arm in arm. The owner of the restaurant was waiting for us at the hostess stand. He bowed to us. “King Cassius and Queen Jemma, I can’t tell you what an honor it is that you are dining at my establishment,” The short human with balding hair said with a French accent. “I have reserved my best table for your arrival.” He grabbed a pair of menus and led us into the elegant restaurant. Other patrons looked up from their meals to watch as we walked by.

He pulled out a chair at a table located in the back of the restaurant, and Jemma sat down. “I am Marco, and I will be serving you two tonight. Can I get you started with some wine? We have some of the finest selections available.”

“The Queen will not be having wine tonight,” I smirked at him. “Do you have any sparkling non-alcoholic cider?”

The owner nodded, “Yes, your majesty. And for you?”

“The same,” I said as the man hurried away to get out drinks. “So, what looks good to you?”

Jemma was looking through the menu. “I’m not used to fancy food like this,” She sighed. “What looks good to you?”

“The filet mignon sounds good to me,” I replied to her. “Or the duck breast. I can’t decide.”

“Ooo, steak,” She growled lowly, “I need like six of those.”

I laughed, “Well, you get as many steaks as you want, love.”

“Don’t I know it.” She mumbled as the owner returned with our drinks.

He then started telling us the specials. Jemma seemed to perk up when he mentioned one of the items. “Ooo, a porterhouse steak,” She purred. “I’ll have that.”

The owner laughed, “That’s a large steak, madam.”

“Yes, I know. I’m growing royal alpha twins, so steak me.”

I snorted as the owner looked at me. “Sorry, I will have the same, and we’ll have the scallops appetizer.”

“Was I harsh with him?” Jemma asked with a guilty expression on her lovely face.

“Maybe a little bit,”

She sighed. “I don’t even feel pregnant, and already I am barking at people. I mean, I didn’t feel any symptoms this early with Nicky. It was two weeks after Jeremy and me-” I growled, cutting her off, which made her glare at me. “Can you not growl every time I mention his name?”

“I can’t help it.”

She snorted and rolled her eyes, “Anyways, I didn’t know until two weeks after my birthday when I passed out during training.”

“He didn’t know?” I refrained from saying his name.

“He and Iain had gone off for training a few days after we had-“

I growled again before she could finish the sentence. Her brows furrowed into another glare. “Sorry,” I held up my hands.

“You are a pain in the a*s, sometimes,” She mumbled. “Anyways, if I can finish what I am saying before you start growling again. My father about killed Jeremy when he found out I was pregnant.”

A loud laugh rolled out of me when I heard that. Somehow imagining Phillip MacKenzie killing that bastard made me happy. I glanced at her angry face. “I don’t blame Phil, one bit for that. I would have killed him.”

She rolled her eyes and sipped her cider as Marco brought out our appetizer. She dug right in, and I watched as her face contorted with pleasure. “Should I be jealous of those scallops?” I said in between bites.

“Oh, they just melt in my mouth.” She m****d lightly, “I might just take these to bed with me tonight.”

It was my turn to roll my eyes as we ate, “You enjoy teasing me, don’t you.”

She shrugged as she ate. “You make it fun, Cass.” A smirk spread onto her beautiful face.

Our meal arrived before long, and I watched as my mate dug right into the large steak. The owner looked on in amazement at her. “The Queen likes her steak, no?”

I nodded. “Yes, Marco. She loves steak. It’s a werewolf thing.”

“I understand, or I think. I’m just a human,” He laughed and walked away. A small population of humans lived in my kingdom that were well aware of the supernatural creatures that existed in the world.

We chatted about small things while we ate, mostly about the things we liked. We talked about favorite movies and tv shows. I was surprised Jemma liked mostly older sitcoms while I was into zombie and horror shows. We both made fun of Twilight. “Sparkly vampires.” We both laughed at that. “Those bastards don’t sparkle.” I snickered.

Jemma shrugged. “I don’t know. The one, your sister, was dating came close to sparkling.”

I lifted an eyebrow, “Come again?”

“He was quite the looker,” She teased. “I mean a little too pale for my taste, but he seemed nice. Of course, I have never met any other vampires.”

“You will meet King Romulus at your coronation. He’ll be bringing his queen, Guinevere. She is a werewolf or was a werewolf.”

Her eyes widened. “Really?”

I nodded. “Yep. It was quite the controversy when it first happened. Of course, that was around fifty years ago when my grandfather was king.” I explained. “Especially because he turned her into a vampire and whish kills the wolf within. That’s an abomination to us.”

“Wow, I couldn’t imagine being without my wolf,” She sipped her cider as she took her last bite of steak.

Marco walked over and refilled her drink. “Are you two thinking of any dessert?”

Jemma nodded. “Anything chocolate.”

The man laughed. “We have the finest chocolate desserts, your majesty.”

“Yes, bring that.”

I shook my head as the man glanced at me. “She loves chocolate.”

“Don’t they all,” He smiled.

I clasped Jemma’s hand and looked into her eyes. “Jemma, do you have any idea how happy you have made me? I know we didn’t get off to their best start. I made a huge mistake that almost cost me everything.” I squeezed her hands as her violet eyes looked me over. “You may not be everyone’s idea of a queen. I don’t care that you are a little rough around the edges. That makes my life far more interesting. You are not afraid to speak your mind, and might I add it’s a brilliant mind. I have seen how people already love you and follow you. This kingdom needed someone like you to rule them. Something I could not have done alone.” I stood up and pulled her chair back, and turned it. I then drew a velvet box out of my pocket before I got down on one knee in front of her.

The other patrons in the restaurant got quiet as I looked up at my mate. “I knew you were my mate when we were mere pups. I felt it from the first time I saw you that you would own my heart and soul for all of eternity. You are my mate and my queen, and I would like you to be mine in every way.” I opened the box revealing a large purple diamond ring. “Jemma Skye MacKenzie, will you be my wife?”

Her eyes widened as tears fell out of her beautiful eyes, and her hand flew over her mouth. She was speechless. “Have I rendered you speechless, my love?”

“Yes,” She whispered behind her hand.

“What was that?”

She lowered her hand. “Yes, Cassius. I will be your wife.” She sprang off the chair and tackled me in a hug. I stood up, lifting her off the ground as we kissed. The restaurant erupted in cheers and applause. I set her on the floor and slid the ring onto her slender finger.

The owner was standing a few feet away. “Congratulations, your majesties.”

I turned around to face the people in the restaurant. “All of your dinners are on me,” I said to them, which elicited even more applause. “May you all replace your soulmates and live your best lives.”

Jemma sat back down in her chair, and I pushed it back to the table and took my seat as the owner, and a waiter set our desserts in front of us. It was some chocolate mousse thing. I held her hand as we finished our dessert, and the owner brought out the bill, and I handed him my credit card. “Make sure your staff all get one hundred dollar tips too.”

“Thank you, sir.” He bowed before scurrying off.

I wiped a tear-off of Jemma’s cheek. “Don’t cry, sweetheart.”

She looked at her ring. “This looks expensive as hell. But how did you know my finger size?”

“It was only half a million dollars,” I said as her jaw fell open, and she gasped. “I uh measured your finger while you were sleeping.”

“Half a million-dollar,” She squeaked out.

I laughed as the owner returned to the table. “The meal was fantastic, Marco. Compliments to your chef.”

“I will pass along the compliment, your majesty. I am pleased we were here to witness your big night. Thank you for coming to my restaurant. May you return soon.”

“Oh, I think we will,” Jemma smiled at him. “And sorry if I sounded harsh earlier.”

He laughed. “I understand. Have a good night.”

We stood up and waved at everyone as we walked out of the restaurant. Bruce smiled broadly as we slid into the limo. “I hear the proposal was a success, sir.”

“It was Bruce,” He closed the door and walked to the driver’s seat. Jemma leaned against me and clasped my hand. Her eyes closed as she nestled against my arm. “Are you tired, love?”

“You would think I would be wide awake after my nap.” She murmured.

“We are heading home now, love.” I kissed the top of her head. “I need to get that dress off of you.” She rubbed the top of my pants and smiled at me. “Don’t tease me,” I growled lowly. She giggled. We were silent for a moment. “Will you take my name when we get married?”

“Hmm. Jemma Fury.” She said out loud. “I kind of like that. I mean, I let you knock me up. Might as well go all the way, right?”

I threw my head back and laughed. “You are balls deep, love.”

In no time, we were back at the palace and walking towards the elevators. We walked arm in arm. I couldn’t wait to get her upstairs. “I love you so much, Cassius.” She leaned against me as we waited for the elevator. As the doors opened on our floor, I heard screaming and growling coming from down the hall by my sister’s room. I saw my mother standing just outside her room.

“OH, MY GODS, DAD!” Ainsley screamed out.

I glanced at Jemma as we walked towards the action. “What’s going on?” I asked my mother as we reached the door. I glanced in, and Ainsley was in bed with Casper glaring at our father.

“Oh, your father heard noises and walked in on-” She indicated the scene.

“Oh, I see,” I smiled.

“What the hell does everyone need to watch us?” Ainsley growled.

“I’m sorry,” My father laughed. “I heard a noise coming from your room, and I came to check on you. Excuse me for being concerned.” He turned and walked out of the room. “We’ll leave you two, so you can finish mating.”

A pillow flew across the room and smacked into my father’s face. “GET OUT!!” Ainsley screamed. “All of you.”

My mother closed the door, and we all burst out laughing. “Boy, she got over Titus, fast,” Jemma said while covering her mouth with her hand. “I mean, this morning, she was ready just to give up.”

My mother grabbed her hand and looked at her finger. “What is this?” She smirked at me.

“Oh, Cassius proposed to me,” Jemma pulled her hand back from my mother’s grasp and admired the ring.

“Way to go, son.” My father patted my arm. “I mean, you are already mates, but to go the human route.”

“Thanks, Dad. Let’s uh all go to our rooms. Standing out here listening to what’s going on in my sister’s room is making me ill.”

Jemma snorted. “Like we aren’t about to go do the same thing,” She started walking away from us. “Good night Terry. Good night Izzy.”

“Good night, dears.” My mother replied to her and then grabbed my father’s arm and pulled him down the hall towards their room.

I followed my intoxicating mate as her h**s swayed towards our room. I growled and caught up to her and swept her into my arms bridal style. I opened the door and carried her inside before setting her on the floor. “Strip for me.”

She raised an eyebrow and pushed me onto the couch while closing the door. She then slowly unzipped her dress while seductively moving her h**s, making sure to thrust out her breasts. I felt myself grow hard as the dress fell to the floor. She then slowly took off her bra and then straddled me and helped me shrug off my jacket. Then she took off the vest I was wearing before unbuttoning my shirt. Her h**s ground against my bulge. Our lips met with sparks as she traced her hands up and down my chest. Her eyes looked into mine as she slid off my lap and onto the floor. She slowly unbuttoned my pants.

I m****d when I felt her grasp my c**k and pull it out of my pants. She lightly licked the tip as she looked up at me. Then she took my length into her mouth while massaging my balls. “f**k, baby.” I m****d out. I grasped her hair as she began to suck and lick me. My eyes rolled into my skull as I leaned my head back and began to thrust lightly into her mouth, hitting the back of her throat. I m****d and g*****d as she began to suck on my balls while stroking my c**k. “Oh my gods, Jemma.”

She smiled up at me as I felt myself close to the edge of o****m. I placed my hand under her chin. “Ride me.”

Slowly she stood up and slipped off her panties. She then straddled my lap and placed her entrance at the tip of my c**k before slowly lowering herself down the length. Her breasts were at eye level as she began to rock herself on me. I grabbed her a*s as I nibbled her n*****s. She threw her head back and m****d as I began to thrust into her. Her hands held herself steady on my shoulders. I wrapped my arms around her h**s and held her tight as I stood up. I held her tight as I pounded into her while standing up. She screamed and m****d as she rode me. I carried her to our bed and laid her down. We kissed while I thrust into her. My balls were slapping against her a*s. She m****d as her arms wrapped around my neck. “Scream for your king, baby.”

“CASSIUS!” She screamed out as I let out a growl. I pushed her further onto the bed. I pulled out of her, and she grasped my c**k as I made her get onto her hands and knees. I then began to thrust into her again as we both m****d. She screamed, nearly shaking the walls.

“I think the whole kingdom can hear you, baby.” I felt her walls clench around me as she screamed out her o****m. Her juices coated my c**k as my hot seed burst into her. We collapsed to the bed, and I lay on top of her. We panted heavily for a few moments. I rolled off of her and lay on the bed. She lay her cheek against my chest and traced circles over my muscles. I wrapped my arm around her. “Goodnight, my Queen.”

I listened as her breathing evened out, and she slowly fell asleep. Nothing in the world could spoil this moment for me. I was happier than I had ever been in my life. Everything that mattered to me was right here in this room. As far as I was concerned, nothing could take that away from me.
