The Alpha King’s Virgin by Charmeleon Chapter 14
Chapter 14 “Tell me more about yourself, Raine.” Amaris asked, propped up on his elbow, his fingers tracing lazy circles over my collar bone. “I want to know everything about you.” “There’s nothing much to tell. You know where I came from. You saw Peter.” I didn’t want to tell him every detail. of how I suffered under Peter’s hands. It would only make him angry. Just by mentioning Peter’s name, I saw how his jaw tightened. “He’s not your father, I gather.” “No, I never knew him. He died before I was born. I was never told how he died.” My mother never spoke about him because it hurt her to remember. “Peter took us in when I was still small.” Amaris turned my face to him and kissed my cheeks. “I see the pain in your eyes, little one. Tell me what haunts you.” “My mother’s death is my fault.” I couldn’t look at him. “I played too far away from the border, and she came looking for me. There were four of them. Rogues.” My voice broke and I couldn’t carry on. “Raine…” Amaris held me against his broad chest, stroking my hair. He didn’t say anything more and just held me. I clung to him like he was the only thing keeping me from floating away. After some time, he said, “It’s hard to lose someone you love. But you have to let them go at some stage, and stop blaming yourself, it serves no purpose.” I sighed. I knew he was right, but Peter had made it impossible for me to forget. Every day he reminded me that I took the woman he loved from him. It didn’t matter to him that I also lost her, my mother, the only person that loved me unconditionally. As if he knew what was going on in my head, he said, “Peter will never hurt you again, Raine. I can promise you that.” Lifting my head from his chest to look at him, I smiled through my tears. “I know.” “Now, no more crying.” He wiped my tears with his thumb. “Beta Ross has just linked me that the dressmaker is here to take your measurements for your wedding gown.” 1/5. Emergency calls only Chapter 14 M *074% 14:59 “Oh? But…” Would there still be enough time to make a wedding dress. The ceremony was to take place in five days. “But what? She is the best in the kingdom. Your dress will be ready on time.” He hovered over me; black locks fell forward to frame his face and I couldn’t resist combing my fingers through it. “I thought Helen…” He silenced me with a passionate kiss, one that left me breathless and unable to remember my name. Time seemed to stand still. Nothing mattered except his lips on mine, the feel of his hard body against mine. Too soon he broke the kiss. “You are to choose your own dress, my queen. You don’t need Helen telling you how to please your king, do you?” A wicked grin spread over his handsome face. I felt the heat go to my cheeks. “No…” Amaris accompanied me to our private salon on our wing where the dressmaker waited for me. Roha and the others were there as well, admiring the fabric samples the woman brought. “This is where I leave you, my sweet.” Amaris said and kissed me before he left in front of everyone. No one blinked an eye about the king’s public show of affection, for which I was grateful. I was still not used to it. “Your Majesty, a pleasure to meet you. Come and have a seat. I have some sketches to show you. The king said it was a matter of urgency.” The seamstress was an elderly woman, small in stature, almost delicate. She turned her head to the side to peer at me. “Are you pregnant?” “What? No.” I was shocked. I didn’t think I was pregnant. She shook her head, “When a man says it’s a matter of urgency…. Pay me no mind.” She held out the sketches to me, telling me about necklines and tucks and princess darts making my head spin. “I just want something simple.” I told her. She looked at me as if I said something to offend her. “Goddess help us! Simple? No, no, your Majesty. Simple simply won’t do. We need you to shine like the morning star.” 2/5 Emergency calls only.
