Chapter 6: Undress

“Where are you taking me?" Selene asked as they began to walk down the corridor.

“To have breakfast," Rayne replied curtly, and he took another turn. He opened the door, and the smell of the aroma of food assaulted Selene's nostrils.

Her mouth watered when she saw the meals served on the table by the maids, but she wasn't alone with the Alpha king.

In the spacious dining room, there were six chairs, with a long table separating the chairs. Four people were already occupying the chair, with two chairs left vacant. Selene saw the Queen, Isabella sitting, and some other people whom Selene couldn't remember except Silas Stone, whom she remembered to have seen that night at the party. The beta was in the room.

Selene followed Rayne to the table before sitting on the empty chair beside a woman sitting close to Isabella.

Queen Isabella was the first person to break the silence as he touched Rayne's hands before saying, “I have searched the palace for you but couldn't find you."

“Well, I'm here. Let's eat" Rayne began to eat, and they all followed suit and ate too.

Selene picked up the wooden spoon before putting the meat in her mouth. She chewed it slowly, but she could sense someone staring at her. She raised her eyes to the side and locked eyes with Isabella, who smiled at her.

Isabella knew she was not the true mate of the king, but she had loved Rayne for the past few years. After meeting Rayne during one of her visits to the palace, she tried everything possible to gain his love, but all was proof of abortion.

When Rayne told her she was to become his queen, she was so happy and couldn't refuse the offer. She had offered her body to him several times, and now that she would be living in the palace, she couldn't be happier because this is the position a lot of she-wolves in the kingdom are living in.

Isabella thought Rayne was finally falling in love with her, but now that this human is here, her mind isn’t at rest. She didn't stop rubbing Rayne's hands as she threw a glare at the human eating at the table.

“Silas, what about the report?"

“I already compiled it into a parchment. I placed it in your study room this morning." Silas explained.

“All right, meet me in the study room when you are done with the task I gave you this morning. You should go with Magdalene to make it fast." Rayne explained as he rose from the chair.

"Alright, my king."

Everyone was done eating. Rayne gestured for Selene to follow him as he left the dining room with Isabella. Selene watched as the two couples conversed while walking behind them.

Many guards were placed at each doorpost while the maids bowed deeply to the King before walking to wherever they were heading. Rayne told one of the guards to take Selene back while his eyes trailed on the woman walking away. He could feel the bond getting stronger with each step she took.

Isabella noticed Rayne staring at the lady, and with jealousy, she walked inside his room and began to undress herself to please him. She wasn't going to back down now that she was in a high position.

Rayne came into the room later to find Isabella clad with nothing.

"Rayne," Isabella said, seductively walking towards him. Her feet made a gentle sound on the hard floor, resting her two hands on his chest, ready to free his shirt.

“Isabella, what are you doing?" He asked, his voice cold and his face void of emotion.

“Don’t you want this?" Isabella was torn by the way his voice sounded, but she brushed it off.

“Of course, you know I want this, but not now. I need to go to the courtroom. The ministers are waiting for me." He explained it to Isabella.

Isabella was not happy with this, but she knew she couldn't stop him.

“You should wait here. I will be back." Rayne said before leaving the room.

Rayne took his time in the courtroom after reading several parchments placed in front of him. By the time he was done, he was exhausted, and with the pressing matter of women being kidnapped, he wondered if he was not training his packs well.

He walked towards his chambers, but instead of going to his room to meet Isabella, he found his feet at the front door of his fated mate. He couldn't forget how she looked beautiful in the green dress that accentuated her figure and her milky breast. He told the guards guarding the door to excuse him by leaving the door.

Rayne pushed the door open and saw Selene trying to change out of the green dress, but she was finding it hard to undress herself. Selene was startled when she saw the door open to find the king walking towards her. She holds the front of her dress with her hands to prevent it from falling off her hands.

She had already managed to pull out the last pin at the back of the dress when the intruder came in.

“What...what are you doing here?" Selene asked, struggling with her words as she found herself moving back. Rayne walked towards her, standing close to her.

“I own the palace, or have you forgotten?" He asked, his voice laced with desire as he watched the moon cast its silvery glow on her skin through the open window.

Rayne pulled her hand, holding the dress, towards him. The dress falls off her shoulder to gather at her waist, exposing her breasts to him.

Rayne was aroused when he saw her full breasts displayed to him. Her waist was tiny against his strong hands. Selene tried to wiggle her hands out of his hold as he pulled her closer to him.

“Don't do this." She whispered as she found him licking his lips seductively. Her heart raced in her chest as her face flushed with embarrassment.

She was afraid of what was to come as the devil stared at her.

Selene tried everything possible to cover her modesty, but this only turned Rayne on more.

He could feel his member getting erected as he stared at the beautiful woman before him.

“I forgot to tell you, you look breathtaking today, Selene," he confessed, his voice laced with desire as he saw her try to cover her breast with her free hand, but her small hands couldn't cover her round and supple breast.

"I... my king. I..." Selene stuttered as she locked eyes with the devil in front of her. Rayne knew his desires could not be curbed unless he had her here right now, under him.

“I'm sure you aren't a virgin, right?" He asked as he pulled her other hand away from her breast. The nipples poked out, and right now all he wants is to suck those big, round oranges on her chest. Selene's eyes become teary.

It seemed like it was finally going to happen. She thought her first night would be beautiful—to find herself in the embrace of her fated mate. She had thought about it countless times about when they would finally make love under the moonlight.

“I'm a virgin, my king," she confirmed as tears trimmed down her face, her voice quivering. Her tears only turned him on more, and he couldn’t stop thinking about how she would cry when she was overwhelmed with pleasure.

Selene has never felt vulnerable in front of a man before, but right now, she wants to bury herself somewhere. No man has seen her like this before.

Rayne knew she didn't feel the same way as him, which only fueled his anger more.

“To hell with the goddamn mate thing!" He cursed under his breath as he felt aroused just by seeing her chest alone.

He had never desired a woman like this before, as he desired her, and no woman had ever resisted his charms. He knew it was the bond working, but why was it so hard for him to curb his desires?

“Don't do this, please," Selene pleaded as she saw him still staring at her.

“Wear your dress," Rayne said coldly, as he left her side, walking towards the door and opening it.

Selene quickly wore her dress, but when she raised her head again to look again, what she saw next shocked her entire being. Behind Rayne was a maid, a very beautiful one. The maid wasn't even afraid, as she locked her gaze with her before averting her eyes. The maid didn't dare look up as she pulled her two hands together.

"Undress!” Rayne commands the maid, who abruptly begins to remove her dress in the presence of Selene.
