The Alpha Prince And His Bride
Book 2 The Alpha’s Forbidden Bride – Episode 31

~EDEN~

“No one should be able to replace you here.” Arthur informed us. “The only ones that know about this safe house is my family.”

I still found it difficult to be calm around the Blackners when they moved the way that they did but I was grateful that they were helping us. I trusted James; he wouldn’t be here with them unless he was positive that they would protect us.

James nodded. “Thank you.”

My mate exchanged a look of gratitude and if I was correct, it seemed as though they were a lot friendlier with each other now.

I watched as Arthur quietly shut the door behind him and left James and I alone in the house. He turned to me and stared at me as though he didn’t believe that I was standing here in front of him. I wanted to run into his arms and hold him close. All of this felt so unreal to me, being able to be near James like this was a dream of mine. I thought that this day would never come but here he was standing in front of me. The fact that we may actually have a chance together was so much more than I ever hoped for.

“Eden,” he whispered as he knelt before me. “I know what I did in the past was wrong. I’m sorry for hurting you in your most vulnerable state. Believe me, that was never my intention.”

I smiled and knelt down on the ground next to him. “You don’t have to apologize for anything. We’ve both been through a lot James, I think it’s time that we put it all behind us and focus on building our lives. . . Together.”

His eyes lowered to the mark on my neck. “You have no idea how hard it is to look at this Eden.” He growled. “I want my f*****g mark there, where it should be.”

I gasped, his words mixed with his spicy, masculine scent was enough to awaken deep desires within me. I could hear my breathing grow louder as I tried to focus on his words rather than get lost with my own desperate need for him.

I placed my hand over the marking and gently stroked it.

The council did it deliberately. Even I never liked it. I always wondered what would happen when I saw my mate and how he would feel about it. Now I knew exactly what he did and I couldn’t blame him. Even up to this day, I couldn’t believe that James was truly my mate and that he wanted me as much as he did.

Despite the disgusting people that I belonged to, he never showed fear. He always fought for me, since the very beginning. And the one time that he decided to stop, it was only because he wanted to protect me.

I was blessed with a good mate. I’d known people in the council before, women who had mates and were still forced to marry who the council chose for them. And their mates chose to let them go when they found out about the council. No one was brave enough to fight back; they all gave up when it got too hard.

But James was brave and proved how good of a mate he really was.

I lifted myself from the ground and positioned my body on top of his lap. His eyes widened. “Eden, what are you doin—”

I didn’t wait for him to finish. I leaned into him and covered his lips with mine. I kissed him softly at first; enjoying the taste of the man I loved and wanted to spend the rest of my life with. His body stiffened for a few seconds until his hands gripped my waist and pulled me tighter against him. James g*****d and deepened the k**s. I couldn’t stop myself as I grinded my a*s against his hardness, I’d never been as hot and needy as I was now. I needed him like I needed air to breathe.

“Mark me,” I whispered. “Please mark me.”

I didn’t know why I said it, all I knew was that I needed to get as close to James as possible. I felt like I would combust into flames if he didn’t claim me soon.

I watched as his eyes went from calm to shock and then straight to raw need and hunger. I felt myself grow wet between the legs with just the look on his face alone, I was swollen there and wanted to be touched by him so badly that it hurt.

His nostrils flared as my aroused scent hit the air and before I had a chance to figure out his next move, he placed one hand behind my head and pulled my feet down until I was lying flat on the wooden floor.

My eyes widened and for some reason it only made my body more hot and needy for him. Both of us were breathing hard, neither one of us speaking. Our bodies said everything our mouths wanted to.

I gasped as his lips left a trail of k****s from my neck to my chest. I felt my breathing fasten as his lips neared my breasts.

“I’ve been dreaming of doing this since the last time Eden.” He growled before he tore the wedding dress, leaving my breasts bare to him. Before I had a chance to recover he took one of my n*****s into his mouth and sucked hard. I arched my back giving him more access to my breasts. James moved like a hungry beast as he continued to suck on my n*****s, switching from one to the other.

“James please.” I begged. “I need more, give me more. . .”

He growled and tore the wedding dress until it was left as shreds next to my body.

I laid on the ground naked before him and to my surprise, I felt completely at peace, like this is where I belonged. I expected to be shy but instead I ached to be touched by him, especially when he was looking at me the way that he did now.

James stared at me like he wanted to worship the ground I walked on; he stared as though I was the only woman he’d ever seen on earth. I tried not to squirm under his gaze, my body was begging for more of his touch and it was hard to keep my calm.

He pushed a finger into my wet folds and paused. “F**k.” He growled. “You’re so f*****g tight sweetheart. I can’t wait to be inside of you.”

I let my head fall back against the floor as he continued to slide his fingers in and out my p***y.

I heard myself whimper when he stopped.

“James-“

“Not here.” He growled as he picked me up from the ground.

He carried me over to the room and laid me down gently on the bed.

“Are you ready?” He asked with hungry eyes.

I nodded. “I’ve been ready since the first day I met you.”

I watched as he threw his shirt and pants all across the room, I gasped as his hard member sprung free, clouding my vision. He leaned down and placed a k**s on my forehead before positioning his body above mine. He stared deep into my eyes as his d**k pressed against my soaking wet opening. I could see the sweat build on his forehead as he slowly eased into my body. My hands gripped the sheets tightly as my body tried to accommodate him.

“From today onwards, no matter where we are, no matter what we’re facing. I’ll never leave you and I’ll never let you go.” He whispered. “You’re mine Eden Cross, you’ve always been.”

He lowered himself and bit down into my neck. I cried out at the feel of his teeth on my neck combined with the feeling of him now deep inside of me.

My eyes rolled back into my head as he pulled out and pushed back in harder than before while at the same time digging deeper into my skin. I felt my body begin to shiver with all of the emotions entering it all at once.

I could feel our bodies joining in every way possible. I didn’t think it was possible to be this close to someone. I buried my hands in his hair and pulled on it as he continued to mark me.

I felt his body begin to shiver against mine and I loved the feeling of it.

“JAMESSS!” I cried out as I felt myself reach the edge.

He replaced his teeth with his lips and started to suck on the mark while pounding into me faster than before. With a low beast like growl, he fastened his pace and filled my p***y with his hard d**k, over and over again.

“Fuckkk!” James roared as he buried his seed deep inside of me, completely filling me up. My body soaked up all of him, loving all of it.

Finally! Oh yes, finally I had what my body truly needed.

It felt so good to be loved like this. I could feel all of his emotions, all of the love he had for me and it was a lot more than I expected. James’s love was so pure and giving, I had to fight back tears at just the thought of it.

I held onto his head as he buried his face against the crook of my neck. Neither one of us moved an inch, both of us trying to recover from the intensity of our joining.

This. . .it was beyond words.

. . . . . . . . . .

~HUNTER~

They’ve deliberately disrespected me. I would not rest until I found James and made him suffer for embarrassing me on my wedding day.

“This girl says that she can help.” One of my men informed me.

“What is your name?” I asked the girl.

“My name is Clara and I’m a member of James’s pack.”

I studied the girl closely. Why was she willingly coming to me? Could this be some sort of trap?

“What do you want?” I asked her.

“I know where James and Eden are hidden.”

I quirked a brow. “You do?”

She nodded. “I’m willing to help you replace them.”

“Why should I trust you?” I asked. “Why would you betray your alpha?”

It didn’t make sense to me . . .Unless the woman wanted something from me in return.

“I don’t believe that Eden is fit to be our Luna, our Alpha deserves more. He is blinded and will not see what I do.”

I understood clearly what this was now. The woman wanted James for herself.

Then she was telling the truth.

Looks like replaceing James and Eden would be less of a challenge that I originally thought.

. . . . . . . .

~JAMES~

“EDEN!” I shouted, running back into the house. “They’ve found us! You must go. YOU MUST GO NOW!”

I’d went out for some pieces of wood and it was then that my wolf picked up on hundreds of people closing in on us.

It was only a matter of time before they reached us.

Her eyes widened in horror. “I can’t just leave you and run!” She cried.

“You must. . . Please.” I begged her. “You are my everything Eden. You know how deep my love runs for you. Go and get help. I will be safe until you get back, I promise you.”

She looked terrified and her entire body was shaking.

“N-no!” She stuttered.

“GO!” I shouted.

Tears were flowing down her cheeks as I forced her out the secret exit.

I couldn’t let her stay here.

Once she was away and safe I could focus on what to do next and how to save myself.
