The Game Of Quadruplet Mates
(Bk 2) Chapter 47

He was animal. stopping

Never

And I was more than happy to oblige.

On and on and on we went until all there was, was the sound of our moans, of our passion; of this never ending thirst for each other.

We only stop when the bed breaks from one of his powerful thrusts, but of course, he had to finish us both before he stops, taking me against the wall and making our last more passionate and rough than all the rest.

He and I chased our highs like it was the only thing that mattered and when we both finished for what feels like the tenth time, the sun was already rising in the sky.

Panting and literally feeling like jello in his arms. Tedros carries me like a groom would his bride, bringing us to the bathroom and, without putting me down, opens the water and tests the temperature. When it's just right, he steps into the bathtub with me still in his arms and sits us down. I breathe in a slow inhale as the water surrounds me, my head resting against his chest to hear the steady beating of his heart.

Too tired to move, Tedros bathes me, letting the soap and water wash away the unforgettable night that I had with him. He shampoos my hair, massaging my scalp and brushing through the strands.

"I can do it myself," I lightly protested, but made no move to do so. It felt so good. He felt so good.

He affectionately presses his nose against the side of my face. "I'm your mate, Jewel, I want to take care of you.

I looked up at him to see the rare gold in his eyes. He didn't have it often, his wolf almost always making his eyes completely black, but seeing this, his real eye color, I can't help but admire him even more. He's so handsome. There are no words to describe it. This only deepens the flush of my cheeks but he only smiles at me, rubbing and kneading my legs, my arms, my hips and my chest. It was not at all sexu a l, only ever adoring and attentive, but I feel myself arch and buckle like it was.

He knows what he's doing to me, pressing a lingering kiss on my mark.

And when I felt him hardened, pressing against my back once more, I couldn't help but laugh. "Again?"

He hums, golden eyes replaced with black ones.

Always."

"What is it?" I asked, noticing the way he was looking at me.

"You're perfect." He says this like he doesn't know anything else. "You're truly perfect and... I can't believe that you're here with me. I was forced to be in the Games for six years and each time I left with no one. But you, I saw you and I think I just knew. I love you, Jewel. I love you and I don't know how I lived my life without you"

"I was about to leave the Games for you." I told him, hoping he knew that I was going to do whatever it took to be with him. That this love was equal.

•He kissed me again, this time on my cheek. "I know. You were about to throw it all away for me and I couldn't let you. But I know."

I swallowed, ashamed. "I'm sorry about last night. I reacted badly and I can't believe I treated you that way."

"You don't have to apologize to me, Jewel." He pressed another kiss on my shoulder, tender and loving, almost like⚫ a quiet worship. "I understand the difficult situation you were facing and the immense pressure you must have been feeling. I went to my mother

that morning, when you were getting ready for the Choosing. I was desperate when I told her that I would do anything to be given a chance to choose you. She didn't believe me at first and I don't blame her. I was so adamant about not choosing and then, all of a sudden, I was demanding it... demanding a chance to be with you."

I lean against him, my head resting on the crook of his neck. "You treat me so well."

"And I'll continue to do so." He promised, his arms around me tightening. "Jewel,"

"Yes, Tedros?" I breathed out, content and a little dreamy.

He sucks in a breath. "Don't call me that way, darling, or I'll have you in this bathtub. I don't care if I break it."

I know he is serious, making me hot all over again.

"

W-what is it?"

"T've been thinking about, this for a while." He starts, eyes faraway as if deep in thought. "Between the two of us, we are both next in line to be Alphas."

My heart stops. "Yes?"

His heartbeat was erratic,

I could feel it thumping against

his chest. "I don't want us to be apart. I don't want us - traveling between packs just to make it work. I want us to be together, always. And if both of us take this position, it won't happen."

"What do you have in mind?" I did not know what to think.

There was no one else to take my position and, frankly, I didn't want anyone to. My father worked hard to build. the pack to its former glory... I can't just let it go to someone else who does not love the pack like I do.

But I should have given him the benefit of the doubt because he already told me this during the Choosing. "I spoke with Adelle while you were with Otto and I told her that she should be Alpha for the Mountain pack and if you have me, I'll live with you in the city." "But Tedros, that position is your right. You have been working for that all your life." I protested, understanding the weight of his decision to abandon it all for me.

He nods, not bothering to hide the truth from me. "That is all true and being the Alpha is all I've ever worked for, but it is different now with you. It is different because I chose you over this. Besides, Adelle is just as capable and I will always be near if she ever does need help."

"Are you sure? We can always make it work. Travel between packs or figure out a better plan..." I was giving him a way out, a chance to change his mind

But he doesn't. "I'm sure, Jewels. I have never been more sure in my life."

"The wolf of the mountains is willing to live in the city with me?" I asked, in teasing disbelief.

He nods and I know what he's about to give up for me, but he loves me so much that he doesn't care.

"If the precious

gem of the city will have me."

"Of course, Tedros, of course." I gushed, a little out of breath. "And we'll visit often. Every week if you want. We can rebuild the relationship between our packs. I want to see the lands you grew up in and I want to support A when she becomes Alpha." Tedros stares at me again like he can't quite believe this was all happening and attacks me with kisses. "I love you."

"I love you more," I whispered, utterly breathless. "But my father has to like you now."

He shrugs; uncaring. "Don't worry. Fathers love me."

1looked him up and down, the scars, the dangerous glint in his eyes and the wild side of his that looked always seconds away from imploding. He was not by all means, appearance wise, what parents want for their daughters.

Not with how dangerous he looked.

. "I'm sure daughters

love you but not fathers."

"Have faith, darling. You'll see."

And then I realized I was going to meet his father too.

The famous, the all powerful, the man that made this all happen... Alpha Ajax Ludovic.

I can only hope he'll like me.
