Chapter Eighty-six

Ajax POV

“I owe your Mom for taking Annika for the night,” I said throwing myself on the queen sized bed.

“They’re getting along great,” Delanie said, with a nervous edge in her voice.

“What’s wrong sweetheart?” I asked.

We checked into the Queen June ten minutes ago. It was one of the best hotels in town. We made sure Alexandra and Annika were settled before we escaped to our room. This was supposed to be our time to unwind and get naked. The only time I’d seen my fiancé naked was when she walked out of the shower but it wasn’t long after that when Annika screamed her lungs out demanding her Mother’s attention.

We just had Annika but I was dreaming of more children. The idea of my mate tangled in my flesh was enticing too.

“Nothing, this is just too much, Ajax.”

“It’s just a little magic babe. We’ll get someone to clean it out and we’ll be good.”

“What about Rebecca’s issue?” she folded her arms and tilted her head to the side.

“Are you still hell-bent on the idea of her being pregnant?”

Delanie nodded. “Betty wouldn’t lie to me.”

I sat up and beckoned her into my arms. “Why does it matter if she was pregnant?”

“Because the killer could be the daddy. I just want you off the hook.”

“Babe, I am off the hook. Why would I kill her with a knife? I don’t know if you know this but I’ve taken people’s lives before so I’m kind of skilled.”

“Thanks for reminding me how much of a brut you are.”

I smirked. “You changed me.”

She raised a brow. “Did I?”

“No, if anything you made me worse. Anyone comes near my Princess and our little Princess won’t have time to repent.”

“I know Ajax. I have a feeling Shania’s hiding something too.”

“You’ve got a lot on your mind, mate. Why don’t you let me ease your mind?”

“How?”

“Let me show you, Delanie.”

I peeled her dress off her petite body and my wolf howled with excitement. She wasn’t getting away from me now. I navigated her lips towards mine before devouring her. She wrapped her arms around my neck and I lifted her off the ground.

Thank the goddess even though her magic invaded my house.

I tasted and caressed my mate’s tender spots. I kissed and sucked her sweet and soft curves. The fire and hunger I felt overpowered me.

“I need to have you Delanie,” I growled softly.

I wanted to tempt and tease her but that would only result in my death. She giggled and tugged on my shirt. Seconds later we were both panting and naked.

I raked my fingers through her satin-like hair before dominating her lips again.

“My precious mate,” I said against her lips. “You’re so beautiful. You’re everything I’ve ever wanted and more.”

“Ajax,” she moaned.

I flipped her on her back and caged her in. My dick throbbed so much it hurt. Delanie reached for it and stroked it. I winced.

“What’s wrong?” she asked and stopped stroking.

“It’s been a while. Don’t mind me, continue, babe.”

She lifted her knees and enveloped me with her thighs. Ugh, this was paradise.

I positioned my member at her entrance. I slipped through her folds and moaned with satisfaction. Her warmth wrapped around and I was sure I lost my head for a second. Tonight was about making her feel good and forget about what was bothering her. With each moan and scratch on my back told me she was in the same ecstasy as me.

“Oh-Uh!”

I chuckled in her ear. “Are you close?”

“Yes!”

My phone vibrated on the table. I reached out and tried to crush it with my fist but I ended up hammered on the table.

“Pick it up,” Delanie groaned.

I grumbled. It’s the middle of the night why would anyone call me? If this was Ross, I was going to kill him.

“What?” I barked into the phone.

“Am I interrupting?” Reign scowled.

“What the hell do you want? Can’t you see what time it is?”

“This is an inconvenience for me too! Your brother did something incredibly stupid before his accident.”

“Tell me something I don’t know, Reign,” I replied climbing out of bed.

Delanie rolled over, her eyes fluttered open and blinked at me. I smirked. She was so beautiful. I couldn’t get over how lucky I was.

“Oh, so you knew your brother promised land to the River Pack in exchange for sixteen tons of bronze now they’re here for their land and I can’t give it to them!”

Fuck Oscar.

“Where’s the bronze?” I asked.

“Have you ever seen it?” Reign asked, sass thick in her tone.

“Of course not,” I grounded out.

“Get here and fix this! Before I kill him.”

Or I might kill him when I get there. “Where’s Oscar?”

“He’s in physiotherapy.”

It’s past midnight who does physiotherapy at this hour unless it is a different kind of physiotherapy that involves people getting naked. Oscar’s an even bigger idiot than I thought. I turned around to find Delanie slipping into her night robe.

“Where are we going?” she asked.

I chuckled. “You’re staying here and getting some rest. I’m going to the Pack House.”

“I can’t wait until you get back. Annika’s asleep and she has more than enough milk.”

“Babe, you’re exhausted.”

“I’m not exhausted I can go another round with you.”

Heat travelled to my cock. “If you talk like that then we might go a few rounds.”

“Great! So we’re going. Come on.”

I threw my head back and groaned. “There’s no stopping her.”

My mate and I drove to the Pack House during the witching hour. What was Oscar thinking and where were his advisors when he was doing this? Delanie sensed my irritation and frustration so she rubbed my thigh but all it did was increase my sexual appetite.

“It’s going to be fine,” she whispered.

I picked up her hand and kissed it. “Yeah.”

“There you are!” Reign blasted. “This is important I’ve got an unfriendly Pack waiting at the border wanting to take land.”

“That won’t happen,” I said. Even if I have to get the old band back together and slaughter them, I will. It might even be fun.

Reign eyed Delanie up and down. I gripped my mate’s hand.

“Look at her like that again and I’ll leave.”

Reign lifted her nose. “I can’t help myself. You didn’t need to bring her.”

“Delanie let’s go,” I said.

“Wait!” Delaine exclaimed. “Shania, what are you doing here?”

I followed her gaze. Shania walked downstairs carrying a huge bag. She smiled brightly at my mate but I sensed something Delanie couldn’t. My brother’s scent masked hers. There wasn’t a trace of her original scent. It was a tactic to hide the scent of sex. I stared at Reign but she couldn’t be bothered.

The doctor was sleeping with Oscar?
