The Alpha's Lantern Mate Chapter 46

Klaus

“Why? How can you think that?” I made her look into my eyes. My heart was dousing into the hot burning lava. 

Why wouldn’t she tell me that she loved me? 

My marriage had become the bitter truth of my life that hurt me every day. The pain was too much to endure, I didn't marry Amber with my will.

“I’m not your wife, she is your wife so she can have…” her words remained in her mouth but her thoughts completed it and it fucking hurt when she could think about me being in another woman’s bed.

I cupped her cheeks before engulfing her in a tight embrace. 

“You can’t see me with someone else so how can you expect me to be cool with it? Sometimes I feel like I’m an obstacle in your life, if I wouldn’t have been your mate, you would have been living happily with your wife,” she muttered in a low tone while wrapping her hands tightly around my hips.

Kneading her back and hair gently in soothing strokes, I listened to her and giggled a little which earned me a punch in my stomach from her.

“How dare you?! How can you laugh when I’m telling you this?” She asked furiously and landed her hands on her hips.

I pulled her closer by placing my hand on her waist. “You know, you look so cute while making up stories in your mind and emitting them to me,” I said in between my laughs before adding, “on a serious note, I would have never wanted to be in this marriage even if I wouldn't have found you. I still would have divorced her and married the girl who would have been my mate and lover.”

After placing a soft smooch on her forehead, I continued further, "you're not an obstacle. You're my peace, the reason for my desire to be alive. Don't think about yourself that way, you hurt me by doing that."

She let out an exasperated sigh. “I was feeling so guilty for being the reason for your divorce. I was feeling like I was a selfish bitch and a homewrecker-”

Catching her chin in my hand, I kissed her lips and stopped her from uttering anything. “Don’t overthink and utter rubbish unless you’re ready for another orgasm,” I smirked and her face went cherry red, she took her face away from mine and rubbed her cheeks to shoo the blush away from her face. 

Everyone thought of Scarlett as a strong woman who never behaved like a kid, a fighter, and a lady but I was feeling so hauteur to see her cute and childish side. The little girl in her seemed so lively and charismatic that I always wanted to see that cute girl and love her.

“Let’s have a bath, now. We don’t want to smell of sex the whole day, do we?” I cleared my throat to get her attention and not waiting for her response, I scooped her up in my arms. 

My mark on her body seemed so beautiful on her neck, the mark had turned into a butterfly who was flying somewhere, carrying a beautiful crown on its wing that had a half-moon on the top. I felt a bit repentant when I noticed bruises on her chest and shoulder but on the other side, it was turning me on to see what I had done to her beautiful body and having her naked in my arms.

“Can I take shower alone?” She said as I put her down and strolled to prepare a hot bathtub for her. 

Swirling my head to face her, I asserted, “is there anything that I haven’t seen yet?” My lips split into a smirk whilst she stood there, lowering her head and blushing hard.

My mate was so shy but I loved to see her wild side during her heat. There was something about her heat that took control over her shyness and hesitation. Her hair was a mess but she looked so sexy and beautiful in her messy hair.

Opening the drawer, I took a few scented candles out and placed them on the edges of the bathtub. “What’s your favorite flavor?” I asked while lit the candle.

Her gasp was audible and made me chuckle. “Um, I…I…” she stuttered and scratched her neck slightly.

“Woah,” I exclaimed, “Woah, I didn’t know you were so horny. I was asking about the body wash. I have strawberry, lavender, and coffee.” 

“Whichever you like,” she muttered, covering her chest with her hands. “We didn’t use protection…” she retained her head down, not daring to look into my eyes.

I walked over to her after putting the lavender body wash on the side and checking the temperature of the water. 

Picking her up in bridal style, I stared at her beautiful red face. “Don’t worry. I know, you’re too young to become a mother. You can take the pills after breakfast, your heat was so uncertain that I forgot to have protection with me but from now on, I’ll keep at least three in my pocket all the time. Your wolf is so horny,” I commented, mocking her wolf and making her cheeks flush again.

“I…um,” she stuttered and I brushed my thumb over her lips. She leaned her head to my chest and encircled her arms around my neck, enjoying my touch and giving in to her desires.

“You don’t need to feel nervous, you can tell me anything, baby,” I mumbled, stepping into the bathtub and making her sit on my lap while I settled myself in a comfortable position that won’t bother my already hardened organ.

“I want a happy family of my own but I don’t want the tag of whore along with my life and I don’t want my kids to carry the tag of illegitimate because of their mom not being married to their father,” she explained, keeping her face straight to the wall of the bathroom.

“Oh, Scarlett! You’re so kind and right. I won’t let that happen ever to you and our pups, huh?” I said, concealing my head into her neck, and enclosing my arms around her waist. 

I was so grateful to the Moon Goddess for giving me such a kind and selfless mate who always thought of everyone else before her. If I would have offered Luna’s position to anybody else, that girl would have exploited the opportunity and would have seduced me to get me and bragged about that to everyone.

“But I’m not like the other girls,” she protested in a breathless voice, reading my thoughts.

“I’m lucky and grateful for that,” retorting to my mate, I took the body wash and deployed the liquid on her chest, stomach, and legs respectively. Instead of the scrubber, I used my hands to massage her body and clean all the mess.

She inhaled a breath hastily as I massaged her both boobs with my hands and she squirmed under my touch. “Your heat is rising again,” I commented when I noticed her sweating and taking sharp breaths to calm herself down.

“You know, I’m at your service all the time,” I scoffed. “You just need to command me to have me kneeled in front of you.” I washed the foam off her body and let her lay in the tub while I sat between her legs before crashing my lips against her.

"Yes, my Alpha, I need you," she whispered on my lips and pulled my mouth closer to deepen the kiss. My hands roamed all over her body and paused at her entrance. 

Scarlett moaned in my mouth when I interposed my cock into her. She broke the kiss and dug her nails deep into my flesh, my back must have bruises just like hers. 

“Baby,” I groaned as we drove our hips together to get our pleasure. “Yes, yes, mmm,” I moaned loudly when she increased the speed and so did I. 

“Ahh, Klaus,” she rested her head on my shoulder as we reached our peaks and consumed our pleasure. 

“Can I get my husband back if he is done with the fucking job?” A blustered voice interrupted us and I knew the owner of the voice.

“Fucking leave my room, Amber,” I shouted from the inside. If she had thought that she would get entry into my room or life by marrying me, I had to make sure to clear her misunderstanding.
