(18+) You Smell Delicious, Arra
••• Arabella’s POV •••
“I-I-I… I plead guilty! It was all my fault and had nothing to do with other people!” Abigail said the moment the Elders came back with the verdict, and it caused another commotion to rouse among the crowd.
My eyebrows shot up as I looked at her.
Why did she suddenly change her mind?
Realization dawned on me when I saw Lina and Shawn’s dark expressions.
Did Abigail say that so they wouldn't be implicated?
Hah, at least she wasn't so stupid as to let an Alpha go even though the said Alpha was ready to throw her under the bus.
Once the Elders heard her confession, they had another discussion but came out with the final verdict in just a few minutes.
“Abigail, after careful deliberations, taking into account how you are pregnant and have a good attitude to admit your mistake, we have decided to sentence you to three months imprisonment in our appointed hospital,” the Elder delivered their verdict for Abigail.
“Alpha Shawn Evander of the Battleclaw Banes Pack, we considered you not being able to manage your pack members well, and so your qualification for the selection of the Alpha King title will be questioned for now.”
“As for Princess Arabella Fallon, our verdict does not change. You are cleared of all charges,” the Elder finished delivering their verdicts.
Lina and Abigail had relief looks on their faces while Shawn turned pale before his expression turned ugly.
The courtroom began clearing up as the people present started to go home after hearing the verdicts, and Mom, Dad, and Uncle Nate came to us.
“I knew they wouldn't punish you for accidentally hurting Abigail,” Uncle Nate chuckled and reached out to pat my head.
A growl was heard, and a hand shot out to grab Uncle Nate’s hand, stopping him from patting my head.
Uncle Nate looked startled before chuckling again. “I see you’ve found yourself a possessive mate, Ari.”
I blushed badly and glared at Max.
Why did he stop Uncle Nate? He had been in my life ever since I was born!
“I apologize,” Max said smoothly, looking like he didn't mean his words and that stopping my uncle from rubbing my head was an understandable thing to do.
Mom laughed while Dad had the same look as me for a split second until Mom pinched him, and he looked at her helplessly.
“Alright, it’s time for Ari and Max to go home,” Mom said. “It’s been a long day for Ari.”
“Thank you, Mom,” Max spoke before I could say anything.
Mom chuckled, and we walked together toward the parking lot, where we then went our separate ways.
We went straight to our bedroom and took a bath the moment we reached the pack’s main house.
Lying down on the bed with visible annoyance marring his handsome face, he said, “I’m not happy with the verdicts. I’m sure Shawn’s father must have done something to help reduce their punishments.”
“Maybe…” I said simply, not really caring about it since Shawn might not be able to run for the Alpha King’s election, and it was enough for me.
As for Abigail…
To know that Shawn would not hesitate to throw her away for his own gain was more than enough.
“Are you happy to know that their relationship is not as strong as what they made it to be?” Max asked sharply as if he could read my mind.
I looked at him with amusement since he sounded so jealous.
“Of course I’m happy,” I replied with a wide grin, making his eyes flash dangerously.
“It’s not for the reason you think,” I rolled my eyes at him and explained quickly. “Of course, it's not because I’m still in love with him, but because Abigail deserves to be treated that way after taking my fated mate away.”
“Fated mate?” he growled low.
“Fated mate,” I sighed. “No matter what, he was my fated mate from the Moon Goddess…”
It was a fact, and we couldn't deny it.
“You are my mate now,” he growled possessively.
“Shawn is my ex now, so you don't have to worry about it. I hate him and Abigail,” I told him firmly.
He pulled me toward him and captured my lips, seemingly happy with my answer.
I snuggled in his arms when he pulled back, and he played with my hair, twirling it around his fingers, making me smile since that action was not what I had in mind when I thought of his reputation as the most ruthless Alpha.
“Why didn't you tell the court that you didn't attack Abigal on purpose?” he asked.
“I have no evidence of being influenced by some other power and lost control of my wolf,” I replied.
“Even so, I can’t say something like, ‘I lost control of my wolf’. What would people say if they knew that as the princess, I can’t even control myself? You heard what Lina said. I don't deserve to be the Alpha Princess if I can’t control Iris,” I explained the reason why I told everyone that I attacked Abigail because I was provoked.
“You don't have to worry though. I’ll find out the reason behind it and let those who hurt me pay.”
Suddenly, he flipped over and pinned me underneath him.
“Did you say she badmouthed me?” he asked with an intense gaze. “So you attacked her because you care about me?”
I blushed and lied, “I didn't!”
“Really, Arra?” he smirked devilishly.
“She…” I hesitated to tell him what Abigail said. I didn't want to hurt his feelings.
“You can tell me, Arra. I’m a man. I can take insults,” he uttered.
“She said that… you are a freak,” I whispered the last word.
He laughed and pecked my lips. “I’ve been called worse, and I made sure whoever said it won't have a nice ending. And I’m happy that you care that much about me.”
Well… I wouldn't mind If he wanted to kill Abigail.
Then he turned serious.
“Arra, you always think too much of your family’s reputation or those you care about, and you also care too much about other’s opinions. Remember that you are now my Luna. You don't have to think of everything yourself. I’m here for you. You should learn to rely on me more.”
I didn't know why, but I felt like crying when I heard the seriousness and sincerity in his words and gaze.
“He’s really considerate…” Iris purred.
Max then blinded me with a charming smile, saying, “On the other hand, I like how you treated your enemy. You didn't go soft on them.”
I blushed again. “Thank you for being considerate.”
“Aren't you going to return the favor of me buying you a building?” he asked and dipped his head; his lips traveled from my jaw down to my neck.
He kissed the mating mark softly and nipped it while one of his hands roamed around my body, pinching and rolling my nipple, making it pebble.
I began moaning under his expert touches and could feel the wetness between my legs.
I longed to feel him inside me…
“Max… Please…” I tried to yank him up to kiss him, but instead, his lips traveled down to my stomach and lower…
“Max!” I blushed and tried to close my legs when I realized what he was planning to do, but he gripped my thighs, not allowing me to close them together.
“You smell delicious, Arra,” he gave me a wicked grin, and I nearly died from embarrassment.
“M-Max…” I reached down and wanted to stop him, but I ended up moaning when his hot tongue swiped across my pussy lips and flicked my sensitive bundle of nerves.
“You taste even better than your smell,” he growled and began sucking and licking like he was hungry from my taste.
His tongue and mouth worked magic, giving me a different type of pleasure, and I thought it wouldn't get any more pleasurable until his mouth latched onto my clit, and he began sucking it.
And when he combined it with his fingers…
Oh Goddess…
My hips bucked, and I cried out his name when I reached my climax.
He came back up and kissed me, letting me taste myself, and I felt his hardness nudging my entrance before he plunged deep into me with a groan.
“Hard and fast? Slow and sweet?” he asked.
“Hard and fast,” I said and wrapped my arms and legs around him, letting him rock my body roughly.
“Arra… I’m not going to last long,” he groaned and dipped his head to kiss my mark again.
I felt him nipping the mark again and his canines about to pierce the mark, but he held back and kissed me again until I felt the tightening of my core, and his movements became jerky as we neared our climax.
“Mine. Mine. Mine!” he emphasized his possessiveness with each deep and hard thrust as we looked at each other until we reached our climax, with me calling his name and him roaring my name.
He placed his forehead against mine as we panted and said softly, “You are mine, Arra…”
And at that moment, I thought it would be great if he had lost control and marked me just now...
